Nothing draws a crowd quite like The Chronicles meet, as this year’s 10th-anniversary festivities provided a stunning array of vehicles in commemoration of The Chronicles/Stickydiljoe.com vlogs, event coverage, and all things automotive. Joey Lee, the mastermind behind the movement celebrated the successes by hosting a meet at Eibach in Corona, CA.

Over the years, The Chronicles online site has been known to deliver breathtaking feature cars and event coverage. This year’s event once again was a reflection of the Chronicles brand as the quality of vehicles on display were impressive. Quality over quantity was the name of the game as an eclectic collection of over 200 import, as well as euro vehicles, were proudly on display. The event was absolutely free for visitors that left many great memories of the import tuning scene.

Walking past rows of cars dating back to the ’80s and ’90s brought back fond memories for many including myself. Hondas, Toyotas, Porsches, and Nissans, ranging from show quality to full-blown track builds offered plenty of car creativity and automotive artistry.

The debut of new project builds and vehicles we haven’t seen within the past year surprisingly came out to the event including the Spoon Super Taikyu S2000, which was a surprise guest at the event this year. The vehicle was shipped from Japan and managed by Go Tuning prior to making a trip out East for Honda Day.

Behind the Scenes at Currie Enterprises

Currie Enterprises is one of the biggest names in automotive powersports. At their global headquarters in Corona, California, Currie Enterprises builds high-quality components for street rods, muscle cars, and off-road beasts. 

Frank Currie started the business in the late ‘50s, designing and building rearends for specialty equipment such as scissor lifts, tugs, and personnel carriers. In the late ‘70s, the focus moved on to building rearends for Chevy Vegas that had V8 conversions and needed a stronger differential to handle the power in the custom application. 

With the help of Frank’s 3 sons, John, Charlie, and Ray, the company evolved and grew into the powerhouse that it is today. Currie Enterprises now utilizes a 40,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to build a wide range of differentials, accessories and suspension components. 

Check out the behind the scenes look at the magic happening in the Currie facility and visit www.CurrieEnterprises.com for more information on how they can help you and your performance vehicle.
