The Chreeno Archives: Tyler Calhoun’s Street WRX

A couple of months ago a good friend of mine, and local Houston photographer Chris Reno approached me about a couple of cars he had shot over the past year. Chris (Chreeno) is a local ricer as well and has some great taste in cars, so when we talked about a bit of collaboration I got pretty excited. One of the cars in discussion was Tyler Calhoun’s WRX, an ultra clean, tastefully modded street style beast that, when seen in person makes you break your neck. We like cars like this. Though we at Mayday Garage enjoy “over the top” barely street legal, ricer engaged wild builds, we know a clean car when we see one and Tyler’s Subie fits the bill.

A Honda Day: Phuc Nguyen’s Crème’ 93′ EG Hatchback

I love the feeling when I come across a tuner car that I have never seen.  When we live in the world of massive automotive tuning forums, tons of blogs and even Flickr, it is a rare sight to come across a clean ride that has been in hiding.  I mean, it would be one thing if it was a car that was of rare production, but a Honda? Ya, that is rare.  So, you can imagine the excitement we had when we came across a Honda that had not been splattered across the internet in a million Myspace angles.   Imagine one that had been in silent slumber being pieced together at the pace of the owner, such as this car, Phuc’s 1993 Honda Civic EG Hatchback.   Being a tuner since the late 90’s you can see he has some classic tuner style in this car, and when we laid our eyes on it, we were in love, in a nostalgic kind of way.
