Man, I remember many of these OG-rides. I really liked Dee's ride. I bought Maya GR5 wheels after seeing them on his car. 2001-2005 was a wonderful time on clublexus.

Dronell BR 3-pc forged

DRONELLs were all the Rage back then. There will be two OG cars with Dronells posted soon. But sorry they're not the BR-3's but the BA-05's.

Stay Tuned.

Default Rominl: looking back

Here's Henry's car as close to stock as i've seen it.

These came circa 2002. We just met for EOSv.1 in fremont. I think these are pics henry snapped either before or after the meet. I think it was on my harddrive since I was working on the video and gallery at the time.

Rominl's car Circa 2004, at HIN San Mateo.

Major mods at this point were the HRE rims and the first UGO body kit imported to the US.

Correct me if I mis-stated this Henry. I know you're good at correcting me.























Rominl's car circa 2006 now with Traffic Star Rims, Junction Produce rear tails and Front grill.














Shortly after graduating from UCLA Rominl found a job in Silicon Valley as an Engineer and moved to NorCal in 2001 where we first met in the summer of 2002.
Back then he was single and living in an apartment.
5 &1/2 years later Rominl moved to LA and is now married to his long time GF "Mimi" and they own a new home.
Is it time for a baby yet ?? Glad you just got that Bimmer cause your next vehicle just might be a Mini Van !

The GS was parted out and is no more. It was replaced by and LS 460L and a 3GS.
Rominl recently bought an M3, so I guess it's all down hill from here on out.







MIMI & Rominl 4 ever

They are all really nice cars. Hopefully I'll become the OG on this forum for something rarely seen even in japan. The all out track GS with massive HP and under 3k pounds. Its on its way....

You may be lucky. Jawnthen still has his Dronell's and he's looking to sell them.

I'll be posting pics of his car in a couple days, but you can PM me if you are interested and I'll contact him for you.

Here's a preview.
