HISTORY BEHIND IT ALL
Armando and Tommy are long time friends that met back in the summer of 2000 and got into the ‘Import Scene” back in 1996. They both come from Honda roots. Tommy’s original interest was the Nissan 240sx in 1995, which he later went back to. They have been supporting the scene since then, competing at HIN car shows and every variation of HIN in between, NOPI, BOTI, IDRC, Import Wars, local Drifting, Autocross, and Road Race etc etc. Name an event that you can recall in an old Superstreet magazine, most likely they have attended or competed in it. They have experienced good and bad shops/companies over the years. They have bought, installed and work with various products over the last 15 years. For example, Skunkworks before they were Skunk2, Jacobs Electronics, Accel ignition, Fields Boxer, PMS, J&S Safeguard, APEX ITC, Crane Ignition, ICEman intakes, RS Akimoto, REV valvetrain, Vortech FMUs, installed RevHard, Greddy, Max-Rev (intern now owns Full-Race) and Drag turbo kits in1998. They have personal experience with just about every performance clutch manufacturer (ACT, Action Clutch, Clutchnet, Exedy, Competition Clutch, Spec, OS Giken) out there for a Honda and Nissan. They have owned one of the first few sleeved blocks by Golden Eagle, Benson, AEBS and DART Blocks (through Payn Technologies). Bought and self tuned AEM EMS when it first came out in 2001, worked on Hondata model 4B, which has evolved into the S300. Anyone ever heard of the LINK ECU for a Honda? iLL Garage has.
The owners have worked through the growing pains of several companies. Over the years they have bought, installed and tested a plethora of products many of their customers have not even heard of. Have experienced being the consumers and know what it feels like to be the customer.
