Cusco Progressive Equipement, company of automotive passion

Here is a 1985 Toyota Corolla Levin (AE86), driven by the late founder, rally driver, and a motorsports fanatic, Mr.Kase, who dearly loved to race, and grew a parts business from this, in the 1970's, long before he renamed his operation Cusco, from Carrosser.

You ask what the difference is between a Cusco part, and some replica parts? Well we have always raced, and rallied to prove our parts first as a hobby, and professional motorsport. And then, as a product after people wanted to equip their cars with the parts we made.

We still carry this tradition, with continuous efforts in All-Japan Rally, and partners in all forms of racing in Japan, Europe, East Asia, Australia, and in the USA.

When you're buying Cusco, you are buying a legacy of a man, his passion that is kept alive by our staff, and the true meaning of what automotive fanaticism and enthusiasm is all about.

Tony Martinez AE86

Who says California is the only place where you see awesome AE86?

Here's one of the most dedicated and oldest of the Club4AG Member, "Gaijin_Rokurunner" Tony Martinez, from the East Coast, in the outskirts of Washington DC, in Maryland.
Tony has been spending countless hours on his AE86 to make it one of the most notable in the USA.
