  • Larry Chen checks out California’s local Filipino car scene, with one of the most stylish builders around: Joel Tan. The same dude that built the crazy/tiny SR20 powered ’46 Willys Jeep, Hakosuka Skylines, and more. We walk through his dope collection of JDM heat, as well as a brand new project he’s got cooking up in the backyard.

    Truth is, Larry’s 240z is actually a time machine. So he can go back in time, and record content “before COVID 19”. It’s as simple as that.

    Another filipino rare gem. Shoutout to all filipino restoring old toyota, old school cars. So many in the Philippines blood and sweat have a old car running. @Larry please check it out the Philippines old school culture they definitely worth a trip.

    Beautiful car. But had a giggle when it said this was recorded before all the covid stuff. Then he puts a shot up and the background says remember stay home, stay safe 🤣🤣😂👌🏼. Starting to feel the whole "recorded before covid " is just a cover-up 👀😂 keep bringing the content y'all 🙌🏼🙏🏼

    Growing up in SF/DC, BayArea, I remember see all kinds of classic Toyota builds in the Filipino communities. My personal favorites are the Celicas, and the Starlets with box flares

    Growing up around lots of Filipinos in the Bay Area; mangos, Starlets, Celicas...they were super popular among the old Pinoys. A few of us younger ones had them too. I had a red Starlet I bought for $800. As soon as I got it, I dropped it and put Rota A8s on! 🤣 I ended up selling the car a couple of years later to build my CRX SI I bought for $3k. The good ol days.

    I've seen those bad boys do 8, 7, and now 6s. AND back home in 🇵🇷, those Corollas are usually peripheral port and stupid fast. Just look up Carolina Speedway Puerto Rico, or Salinas Speedway Puerto Rico, Carolina no longer exists. But there plenty of videos from the 90s and 2000s. Awesome times at those tracks. Miss it. 👌🏾👍🏾

    I really liked your little tip on how the horizon light spilling over the top of the buildings was lighting the upper half if the car in a way that highlighted the rudge running down the car showing the swoopy lines from the door over the fender and out the rear. It lets you notice something that would be lost in a midday straight on side shot. I feel so many magazines, shows and online programs just miss.
