Texas 3s
Another clean pair of vehicles found on Houston-Imports. I first saw Kevin and his buddy in a previous thread on H-I, And he was generous to get updated pictures of both of their setup for us! Looks like the fitment bug has hit the Mazda 3 community hard!

Atlanta FC Vert
Once again on my forum trolling, I saw pictures of Andy’s FC in a wheel thread on RX7club, and he turned out to be friends with a few people I knew in GA. Two of them being Justin and Brannon.
Words by: Justin Butera
Brannon took the trip up to Gwinnett last weekend so we set up a time to shoot some cars. One of the people we met up with was Andy and his beautiful FC vert. Even though the day had its fair share of headaches and the weather didn’t cooperate with us at all, we made the best of it and got some good shots.
Let’s start with the owner of this thing. Andy is hilarious and kept us all laughing during the shoot, even showing off his crazy parkour skills at one point. Some sketchy local kids came up to ask about our “race cars” and Andy proceeded to slide the parking lot but we took off before we received any unwanted attention.
I’ve always been a huge fan of FC convertibles and this one pulls out all the stops. After hearing so many good things about this car I expected a lot and when we pulled up I knew how true all of this was. Simple but effective, everything on this car flows so well. From the fresh white paint to the Shine Auto lip, damaged just enough to show that the car is still driven, it all just seems so right. Kei Office coilovers and camber plates have it sitting low while still being very functional. Staggered Mustang Cobra reps paired with stretched tires fit the fenders nicely and add to the very aggressive look of this vert.
Don’t expect this to be the last you see of this car either. The way he talks some changes could be happening soon. Andy wants to give a shout out to Tim Wallace who has played a major part of this build. I think I can speak for Brannon and myself and say it was awesome to meet Andy and check out his FC

Texas Corollas
While browsing the many forums I frequent, I found a thread on Houston-Imports. And I had to share the pair of Corollas with the viewers. The Rogue Status Interior work was done with a shirt nice touch I think..
And the white Corolla is a friend of his, in its older stages..and has went some work recently, so stay tuned for that in the future.
Pictures shot and submitted by the owner, Flickr link below
I was about to finance a Scion Tc and when I got to the dealership and I myslef could only afford a Corolla. I got a 2006 Toyota Corolla CE & left the dealership with only 6 miles. When I showed my friends who they laughed because they all had Hondas. So I decided to work on it and today after 90k miles its still running strong. Its dropped on Tein S-Techs, with KYB shocks. Also the wheels are 17×8 Rota Torques. On the exterior I have a custom made lip kit, and under the hood a Fujita Short Ram intake, Optima yellow top battery, Iridium spark plugs, custom 3 inch piping, Magnaflow muffler.
Thanks again
Double Trouble Evos
Atlanta was a busy town this weekend… Comic Con, college games at the dome, and tons of Labor Day activities going on in the city. And amongst all the people enjoying the Sunday afternoon at Centennial Olympic Park here came Jon and I leading Kevin and Daniel through the city to the photo location. Turning heads at every stop light with their blow-off valves, and megaphone exhaust echoing the streets. We finally got to our picture area, and as Jon was doing his camera magic we were approached by some of the “area locals”. We talked to them for awhile about the area….and than when the small talk ended we got hit with the “you got some change” we all knew it was coming…so we all had our excuses ready..lol.
These two Evos have been mistaken for each other in Atlanta for the last few months by many people even myself. At a meet held this summer I thought Kevin’s Evo (with TA Volks) I thought it was Daniel’s Evo ( Gold TE37s). Only to find out and meet Kevin for the first time who had just recently relocated from New York. Kevin daily drives his Evo 8, and has been working on the quality cosmetics changes to the car thus far with minor quality performance upgrades to ready the car for bigger modifications in the near future. Also look out for this EVO in Fast and Furious 5.
Daniel I have known for awhile is well known for his pride and joy, but also owns a GS300 that Jon shot a month ago in the “ATLANTA GS300” feature. The GS is minimal to the Evo that has a long list of modifications and snorts and pops to make it well known on the streets. Making around 500hp, and being converted from 6 to 5spd its all business.
Quality cars it was a pleasure!

Tennessee Caliber SRT4
I must admit being a big fan of the 1st generation Neons and their bright green ACR track ready package all the way through the final years of the Neon in its SRT4 ACR package with the Orange Blast paint! I was disappointed to find out that Dodge was replacing it with something else. The Dodge Caliber came on the scene at first quiet, but shortly after Dodge was going hard with their Street Race Technology program. Which I personally think started a trend with car makers, especially the American manufacturers to make fast high performance sport compacts. They created an SRT4 version of the Caliber for a 2 year run, which makes this vehicle a collectors item for Dodge lovers. Making almost 300hp in stock form pulls the Caliber Srt4 past many cars in its class.
This Caliber owned by Dakota, makes 411hp that roasts the front wheels on command, and punishes all six gears. Stock these cars have an obvious torque steer issues. It has been slightly corrected with traction bars, BC racing coils, and LSD modifications. Along with a long list of quality performance oriented modifications…

Words from the owner: Dakota Mercer
I would like to thank everyone for taking a look at the car. It’s a task to tastefully modify a Caliber, and I hope I have succeeded! It’s not every day you see a Caliber SRT, and I hope I have done this car justice! I would like to thank Kevin Maxwell for all the wrench time and tuning he put into the car. I would also like to thank everyone over at www.calibersrt4.netfor making a good internet community for these cars, and most of all, thank all of you!
