Heritage and Honor
To call the AE86 a legend is an understatement. We recognize the Hachiroku as a symbol of the golden years in Japanese automotive history and preserving that history is becoming increasingly difficult with time. Chester has been a Toyota guy since he fell in love with his uncle Abel’s green ‘86 coupe while on a family trip to Guatemala. Hours spent together cruising through Santa Rosa stuck with Chester and he knew he had to have an 86 of his own one day. When Abel passed away, Chester knew it was time to build one of the iconic Corolla’s in… Read more

The Right Signal
I was heading to Salem State University one afternoon, when I noticed a clean, stock AE86 next to a mint Evo 5 sitting in front of a small automotive shop. I drove by these cars on every visit to the school before finally deciding to stop by, where I met the man in charge of Signal Motorsports. Aiden welcomed me in and we talked briefly about the Evo, and Corolla he had up for sale. Little did I know, he had a SEMA quality build in progress. 5 years in, Aiden has produced one of the most immaculate 22B inspired… Read more

This is easily one of the best Z builds coming out of New England, and knowing Lee, it’s not the end of this fairlady’s journey. Photos: Collin Stankard / Words: Matthew Gaumont Read more

Blue Streak | Evans’ Laid R
Evan is one of those guys who lets his car do the talking. He’s super quiet but always seems deep in thought. Maybe on dinner, maybe on work, maybe on what wheels he wants next. Whatever it is, his mind has certainly led him in the right direction with his R. This car is one of those crowd pleaser types. You can bring it to a meet and get love from enthusiasts, or park it in the city and get looks and admiration from all. The blue and gold combo is one that isn’t supposed to work but does, and damn… Read more
