Rare Mango Trueno: Pure Old School JDM Toyota Greatness

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.

You gotta watch people play pool for money there if you go to the Pilippines (sic). Seen the next "Bata" while there. :)

[@justinturner4850]

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.

[@Zqud]

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 🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@danielborrowdale3903]

That's how new law's start we conform and they don't go away, this one is as specially good because it's for our safety and people dob in other people for not conforming.

[@bme9071]

hahah I've watched tonnes of their videos saying recorded before covid, then after two months or so of seeing that, I thought the same but don't care tbh.

[@rainen5627]

Larry's hairstyle is period correct with that car

This guy is my neighbor and I see so many things happening in his driveway

[@projectkod]

lol that's awesome, I would just walk over just to hear him say words like Juan-Peeptee. What a legendary builder!

[@MrZachgonz]

Is this in Covina? I lived there for 7 or 8 years and never knew about this guy.

[@grqmedia3489]

You’re lucky to see an SR20 Jeep and a TE27 driving around all the time

[@dookieducat2730]

Thank you Joel for bringing yourt inspiration to us.. May you Rest In Peace.. 🙏😢

[@dodoys14]

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.

[@raymac8577]

What a rad person. This guy builds insanely beautiful cars in his backyard. If there’s a will there’s a way👍🏻

[@SF_Native]

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.

[@ramonbriones4487]

Such an adorable awesome build! That intro was so satisfying and set the tempo perfectly ...and then that knucklehead came out yelling at me to buy stuff lol.. stay on the other channels.. Larry's channel has class my man.

[@ncsteeltoe]

Loved this one. My dad had one of these Corollas back when. He was always talking about it had headers from the factory. That car was quick. We called it the Puddle Jumper.

[@fastdays_1]

The photography and pictures in this video....Larry you are the man...loved it every second, great job as usual

[@AliasHSW]

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

[@SF_Native]

Haha I'm from there and had a res starlet in the 90s. Bay area represent!

[@derekbellamy8040]

Filipino pride! Love the ride. Just wish he would have kept the 13b, I'm parshle to the 13b. Building a 13b swapped e30

[@tonem427]

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. 👌🏾👍🏾

[@palmermonsen9098]

Dang, Autofocus is carrying Hoonigan right now!

[@Franface31]

SPAIN IS NOT PORTUGAL LOL

[@craiggreen4388]

But it helps the uninformed understand roughly where it is. Everyone knows where Spain is right.

[@Franface31]

Dude that's not an excuse. You have the internet for that.

[@cannednolan8194]

If anyone knows anyone that is interested in a Toyota corona mark 2 think it’s a 74. Field find but still looks nice. Pretty sure it has rusty floors let me know. It’s will be around $5000 CDN plus shipping.

[@tylerandrews55]

I can 100% relate to building cars in a back yard

[@renz1013]

built a jeep.. at age 15?!?!? dammit i'm a 16 year old and I wanna build a jeep so bad

[@russellml1086]

I really like all Larry Chen's videos. I hope Joel Tan can find a 1979 corolla SR and build it.

[@4ensyk]

geezus fucking christ 💙💙💙💙 its so beautiful 😭

[@gloryordeath1165]

That is without a doubt the coolest Willys Jeep I've ever seen and his other cars are also amazing, truly but I never seen a older Jeep done in a lowered...I don't know, Pro-Touring setup? All of them are just to cool. And thank you Hoonigan for supporting and showcasing local backyard shade tree mechanics

My Brother is restoring/upgrading a '72 Levin, looks almost identical to the Trueno. I'll start posting videos of it when he's finished. Such cool cars, I think this Trueno has the best sounding 4 cylinder I've ever heard!!!

[@flush_entity]

im really digging Joel's sweater! Where did he purchase that at?

[@sihatch93]

there's store shops in the Philippines called Petrol

[@DatOneCat]

It kinda sucks that cars like these were still fairly common growing up in the late 90s over here as well as Owner Type Jeeps. You'd always most of the time see them out in the streets along side 90s era Corollas, Sentras, Lancers and a bunch others. Now all you see is just a lot of crossovers, SUVs and a lot of Vioses.

[@shifty1927]
