“It’s a 1980 Toyota Corolla SR5 Liftback, powered by the legendary 2JZ-GTE.”

I'm very intentional with how I do things, and I think this build captures that, it's rough around the edges from track use when you get real close. It's got a story to tell. I'm not chasing perfection- but chasing progress. Built to be driven past its limits. Functional, Focused, and always improving, just like me!

I used to be that guy who followed RWB whenever it was featured in car magazines and watched RWB build videos on YouTube for years, wishing that one day I’d own one. Now I’m actually behind the wheel of one

"When you’re just getting into the car, listen to the sounds it makes, take in the smells, and feel the materials. Let these moments become memories that last a lifetime—your “First Porsche” experience."

"To be perfectly honest, I got this car because, as much as I love cars, this is the one I knew very little about. I stumbled upon it on Facebook Marketplace. The fact that it's kind of overlooked compared to its competitors".

When I was 15, a guy named Jose had a black '69 Z/28 with silver stripes, a 400ci small-block, and a four-speed. He was a well-known street racer. One day, I saw him getting his car ready for the races and asked if I could help. At the end of the day, I was about to go home when Jose asked if I wanted to come with him to the races. For a kid without a car, getting to ride in a super-fast '69 Camaro was like winning the lottery!

“Outentico serves as an umbrella that allows me to combine my passion for cars with a desire to be creative”

“I choose to work on the street because I find that it requires me to Take on the jobs that I am best at and can perform in the shortest amount of time. Knowing that the car will have to start run and drive, immediately once my repairs are performed, ensures that I will be able to get the job done in the amount of time that is good for both my customers and myself as I am currently completing my architecture degree at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and need to make sure that I make it to class on time.”

“I have always been very attracted to E30's, ever since I was little. My first car was a beautiful red 318 with tartan seats back in Australia. To me, they are the most beautiful car.”

“I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and grew up drooling over cars from the mid 90’s through the early 2000’s (2000-2006 ish), playing Cruis’n USA in the pizza shop near my house, and Need for Speed at home. I used to take trips to BJ’s as a kid just to pick up a model car that I would add to a large bookshelf filled with various models. I’m firmly against letting cars sit. They should be driven as often as possible (time permitting), preferably with gusto!”

“My love for cars stems from my dad, who played a pivotal role in igniting this passion within me. He had a deep appreciation for European cars, and I have vivid memories of him chauffeuring our family around in his beloved E30 saloons, Saab 900, and Volvo 240.”

“I was attracted to the W 123 model Mercedes because of their history and iconic looks when I imagine a car in my head it looks like a four door w123”.

“One of the reasons I bought this car was that it’s engine swapped with an S50 out of a ‘95 M3. Which in my opinion, is the goldilocks engine for one of these cars. Not a crazy amount of power, but just enough. It really brings the car to life. “

“You know how as a kid you have that car poster and dream about owning that car? After years of hard work and perseverance, I was able to buy this car as a retirement gift to myself five years ago. “

“I have always had a love for JDM cars. They have always been popular in NY for example with Honda civics especially. The first time I have ever heard of a rare Japanese car was a type r where the steering wheel was on the other side. My interest grew from there, when I came across the skyline I knew that was it. I was 15 years old.”

“My dad, Angelo Bonsangue, bought this car in 1989 from in front of his business in Greenwich Village called the “North Pole” Meat Market. It was parked there and my dad saw it and he told me he fell in love with it. He approached the driver and asked “Hey, is the car for sale?” the owner said “Yes, as a matter of fact it is”. My dad asked how much and the owner put a 5 thousand dollar price on it.“

“I think it’s one of the last truly beautiful front ends of the BMWs. It’s sort of the last shark nose out there. It also hasn’t become as popular as the e30 so it’s still a bit of a slept on car.”

“I wanted one since high school. I’ve had two others before but I had to get rid of them. Came across this one and couldn’t pass it up. I regret getting rid of the cars so once I got the opportunity to come up on a clean one I had to buy it.”

“The first time I saw one in person, I was drawn to it. It was cool, boxy and unusual. I was in Saugerties, NY and saw it parked on the street. I stopped and parked so I could really look at it. I was like “wow this is really cool and right hand drive!”. That night I was on my computer searching Pinterest and instagram to find out more info about Delicas.”
