Stay ConnectedJDM, quirky, and unobtainium. The Autohaus Podcast brings you personal stories from eclectic car owners, industry insiders, and Pro Drivers. Real stories, real people, no fluff.
The Autohaus Podcast is hosted by Autohaus_Z an ASE Master Certified Journeyman in the automotive industry and owner of CM Autohaus.
Steven Nakamura saw the birth of the AE86 scene in SoCal and has lived it ever since: from pestering TRD Headquarters (once in Gardena, CA), to drag racing with an early 4AGE turbo kit, and to modern day suffering as an adult without air conditioning. We also talk about our shared experiences concurrently owning both the “old” and “new” 86 chassis.
MB Drift Series 2020 Champion Devin Crezee of Doctored Garage joins me to talk about doing a BEAMS swap in the early days, getting your start and building up to competitive drifting, and Carolina Squat Trucks.
As seen on Hoonigan and terrorizing your local SoCal track, Colin Frost of Big Country Labs joins me to talk about the resurgence of the AE86 in pop culture, those who have set the foundation for the chassis, and the current state of the Corolla market.
Nikos Isihos from ProgressionD did a BEAMS swap way back circa 2011 before anything was really available. We talk about how the BEAMS swap market has changed since then, the unspoken J160 reverse lock out issue, and Club Loose.
What is my end goal? An introspective on the past 10 months of running CM Autohaus full time: lessons I’ve learned, what I feel my future will hold, and deciding if I will continue with the AE86 chassis.
Seb from Modify Up is building a destroked 2AZ swapped AE86 with a TL70 (FRS/BRZ) 6 Speed manual transmission. We talk about this monumental undertaking of an engine swap as well as his automotive background and the pain points of being an enthusiast in Aus. Our first guest from Australia mate! Vegemite Sandwich!
Founder of ProgressionD, Hosen Tandijono, joins us to talk about the origins of ProgressionD and his beginning in the AE86 and drifting world. We also talk about his wild roster of cars including his newest acquisition currently residing at Tec-Arts…
FRS/BRZ/GT86 Specialist of the West Coast, Neal Wiebmer, owner of The Racer’s Line in Concord, CA joins us to talk about the origins of The Racer’s Line, CARB approval of the Harrop Supercharger Kit, and his ONE almighty key to business success.
Chase Binner “Hakosan” is from Texas and is of the newest generations of Corolla owners. We talk about his turbo MRS, YouTube career aspirations, and his 16v pnp harness from R.N.R Autosport in Malaysia.
Jackson is of the newest generations of Corolla owners and has owned his converted GTSR5 since he was 17. This guy first caught my attention long ago at one of our first Friday of the month Corolla meets. I casually over heard someone saying there was a new owner in attendance and that he was still in highschool. I’ve since seen Jackson gradually become more a part of the community and I really wanted to hear his story as a new Corolla owner, especially because he is of the newest generation. In this episode we talk about his experiences as a new owner, trying to find knowledge in the digital age, and fun (or not) Rollalife stories.
