Retro Modern Bought hre a Present Photography by Nelson Queralta It was about 11 years ago that I met Eddie Figerio. I had just started modding my first S2000 and he showed up at the shop looking for some tuning direction on his BuddyClub piggy back. There were obvious similarities amongst our tuning styles and he and I hit it off very quickly. That S2000 later saw 19″ HREs and a large turbo setup. It was that first set of HREs that made him fall in love with the wheel brand. It happens that every car he’s owned since has also carried the HRE brand. So it was no surprise when they appeared on his current project; a 2009 BMW...

BeardLife FC Because Beards Are Awesome Photography by Nelson Queralta BeardLife (in case you don’t know) is a blog dedicated to beards, cars, drifting, and culture.

Over the years we talked at events and meets and I have always been interested in his drifting projects. Most recently his LS powered FC. While he modestly states that the car is not yet ready or up to his standards, for me it is perfect the...

FRS | Sports Heritage from Scion
posted by Leo Diaz
The Scion FRS Sports Heritage Photography by Nelson Queralta The Scion FRS has a great sports heritage going all the way back to 1965. They took no shortcut to continue that heritage with the release of the rear wheel drive Scion FRS. We were able to get our hands on one recently equipped with ISS Forged wheels and wasted no time getting it into the studio. I really do like the lines of the car and the weight and balance truly make this a really fun car to drive. With a plethora of aftermarket companies already offering parts for the FRS, we are really excited to see what other tuners will build for this year’s SEMA...
