Trueno Coupe I Project

This was my 2nd AE86 after I crashed my 1st AE86 in 1999. I found a shell and swap everything over, I was diffinitely mostly interested in street drifting so I didn't mind how the look of my car. I knew sooner or later I was going to crash the car. After crashing my 14th AE86, the coupe was my last AE86. I decided to make the car a bit pretty since I wanted to do local competition, that's when the 'Orange Coupe I' was born. My boys at Modified Toys Speed Shop help me out a lot when I was building this car. Thanks to all my friends, my brother Albert Lagura, Dean Navales, Dave 'Deeznutz' Mijia, Charlie J., Jaimee Ferrer, Barry Chiang and everyone else that I forgot.

In 2004 I got sponsored by Techno Toy Tuning. All I wanted was just basic things, coilover springs and camber plate. Turned out that Gabe Tyler was interested of doing a full sponsorship. :) After D1 2004 Driver Search T3 took my car to refreshen it up since the condition wasn't too great.

Trueno Coupe II - Buildup Part DOS!

After crashing at Irwindale, I was a bit discourage to build a new car. At the time, I was having money issue so it was going to be great if I take some time off. Gabe Tyler wasn't so fond of my plan, he mention that no one would want to sponsor me again after going out like a bitch. He offered to build my next competition AE86. I was bit embarrased after crashing there three weeks of hardwork. He insisted so I went to look for a coupe shell. Thanks to good friends, Marlon had an SR5 coupe that was running great with A/C! Since it was just sitting at his front yard he gave me the car for free. :)
