You just can't miss this DA rolling down the street, and you will never wonder what team he belongs to. Sean
shows his team love in bright green letters that really shine at night. Thank you Sean, from all of us at C3 Auto
Works, for all your help and support and making things interesting both around the office and the car scene.
Jon Therreault 1992 Acura Integra

Jon Therriault. Jon has helped me with my
car and visa-versa for years. Jon is the
proud owner of a HIN winning 1992 Acura
Integra LS. He has only had the car for a
few years now but has put together quite
the old school Honda in that time. The
most noticeable thing on this car is the
exterior of extensive body modifications.
The candy orange paint and a slew of OE
replaced carbon fiber parts really make this
car pop. The hood, hatch, rear bumper,
front lip, and front fenders all claim C-
Wings, while the mirrors belong to Spoon.
The orange and black scheme goes very
well with the bronze Work CR-Emotion rims
in Dunlop rubber. Slowing things down are
a set of Rotera big rotors and the very rare
Endless pads. The cars stance belongs to
Zeal coilovers, so rare, they are the only
ones for a DA in the country, but an exterior
of a car can only do so much, with out the
motor to back it up, it's pointless.
A JDM GS-R motor was placed in the center
of the engine bay. Being feed air through
the super cool four individual throttle
bodies setup and air leaves the engine
through a Toda header and a Tanabe super
medallion cat-back. Everything stays cool
with a Fluidyne radiator and flows the fluid
through Samco hoses. Spoon provides the
power to the spark plugs as well due to
their individually grounds spark wires.
Buddy Club cam gears keep the shafts
turning just at the right time underneath
the JDM valve cover and carbon wire cover
to give the engine bay that finishing touch.
Keeping everything really cool so far, letâ
€™s scope out the inside for a bit.

The driver and passengers of this ride sit in style in a sick
pair of JIC magic seats held in with Takata harnesses. A
full roll cage keeps things tight and safe for the riders
inside. A cleanly built, and still great sounding stereo
system built by my buddy Curious George contains all by
JL make the music sound like a real concert hall. Jon
and his Integra still rock the show scene and continue to
be a great friend and partner in this motorsports way of
life.

This is a one of a kind 1997
Toyota Camry. He has been one
of the most active members of
the car show scene you can’t
hide from it if you for a long time
now. He’s like when Britney
Spears drops her baby, it’s all
over the place and you can’t hide
from it if you trunk tried. What
makes his Camry cool is that
most of the people in NY with a
Camry got one for the trunk
space and the family car aspect
of it, but not my boy still Eddie.
That is unless all about, then it
fits in nicely.supercharged,
nitrous spewing, stereo pumping,
full show car is still what you
thought Camry was all about,
then it fits in nicely.
The car might be most famous for the
audio/video setup. A big thanks to Thom
Voisinet of Polk Audio for finding a way to
fit 12, that’s right, 12 subwoofers in a
carbon fiber rolling floor of the trunk and
an amp rack that Eddie himself would
stand on at shows. A camera for a
rearview to keep an eye on what’s going on
behind him as his nitrous fed TRD
supercharger pulls the car down the
streets. Eddie and one lucky passenger sit
in Corbeau racing seats and harnesses and
stare at a mess of Fauze gauges.
Eddie has been a great friend to me over
the years. We have been through thick and
thin and have had some of the best times
that can only be described as the NY
version of Rob & Big. This car currently
resides in the showroom of Kinderhook
Toyota for all to see it's glory.
Sean "Scuba" Smith 1990 Acura Integra
Sean Smith, or as many of you may know him as "Scuba" has been a friend of mine ever since we have been
neighbors. I blame Sean for getting me in to cars. We have worked together and built together for years. His
car is a razor clean 1990 Integra, here is just a sample of this attention to detail car that might have just
started C3 all those years ago.
The factory 1.8 liter motor handles the power being feed by both dual bottles of nitrous and the first ARC air
box in a DA9 Integra ever! Sean is an individual for sure, I mean come on, who else would rock a camo valve
cover. The Integra can be heard for miles due to the super rare JIC Bullet exhaust system. Along with many
other supporting mods but when it come to stereo Polk Audio came through with the audio setup giving Sean a
great sounding system while wowing crowds at show with its cool look. Along with this are some custom
polished Motegi Rims. But before this like everyone remembers them as bright green to match the Takata
harnesses that hold him in while driven down the road. Holding this car to the road are Tanabe coilovers
control the height and handling of the car while multiple brace bars including strut bars, c-pillar bar, and yes,
even a roll cage to help tighten everything up.
Eddie Habeck III 1997 Toyota Camery
Billie Jo Decker 2001 Toyota Celica
This blue and white color scheme really makes this car pop inside
and out and even a sleek Sparco racing gas door mounted interior
and painted dash and doors in what else but blue and just under the
rear spoiler, this thing is trick. Slowing things down are a set of
Rotera big brakes filling up the back side of one of my favorite
wheels of all time. Volk’s very own CE28Ns wrapped in two Dunlop
rubber connect her to the road. These rims are a forged alloys
custom powder coated white matched with blue Volk Racing
stickers and Motegi blue lugs to match the rest of the car. Like any
mother said, “its what’s on the inside that counts” and this cars
interior is defiantly something to gather around. Two tone leather
interior and painted dash and doors in what else but blue and
white. Matching harnesses and steering wheel both rock the but
Sparco name and one of the coolest nitrous setup with count ‘em in
two 5 pound NX bottles mounted to the color match 4-point roll this
cage. This car just seems to have everything, but no car is now sit
complete without a killer audio/video setup and Billie Jo did not cut
any corners. Polk Audio taking care of blasting the tunes while an
Eclipse pop out screen controls everything up front, but it’s in the is
back where the real deal sits. A painted fiberglass box holds two
massive Polk subs complete with a PS2 for your gaming pleasure,
but what’s a PS2 good for if you can’t watch it on a 20 inch TV sits
in the glass box, yeah, I said 20 inch. Most people don’t have a TV
this nice in their house, and thanks to my pal Curious George, it
now sit in Billie Jo’s Trunk yep, it’s clear as day why this car wins
not only awards, but massive respect as well. She may win a few
trophies for ‘best female ride’ but let’s face the truth fellas, this car
is awesome no matter who’s driving Otis awesome no matter who’s
driving it.




"I'm Keepin it stock, I'm done
with all this.."

That was what Jon said when he first got his
WRX. It wasn't long before it was built and in
the pages of a magazine. Great quote though..
Billy Khachadourian -2005 350Z
|
2007 Subaru WRX TR
Billy and I worked together many years ago and met up a few years
after with a common love affair for custom automobiles. Billy
joined C3 in 2005 for only a short time because of heading off to
school. There was no a lot done to the car, but with a 350Z and a
real deal Velside kit, it doesn't take much. This car was already
built to be a weekend track car and still have a factory installed
sticker to show you just how to fit 2 golf bags in the hatch. Billy will
always have a place in C3 history. Hopefully he will some day come
back to the team that he shared so much with.
