Post your favorite ae86 pics here for inspiration

I posted the latest Nori Yaro video on the front page, so I won't repeat myself... I do feel a inspired by this guy:

11 sets? I feel inferior and now I want more!

Haha, very understandable!!
Actually, you can never have enough wheels

How do the cars in Japan always look so nice? Whenever I go to a show its surprising how many cars look rough.

It's like the movies: actors and actresses look less fancy IRL!
But I agree with you: many cars looks a lot better in Japan. I guess they keep them clean and in better condition than over here.
Besides that: have you seen Alexi's beans-can AE86? It looks far from nice!

This may be a stupid question, but does that blue Levin belong to the guy from Garage Shapple? Its just that I noticed its in Alexi's Shapple video, and its also in another vid that I found with a guy getting an oil change at Shapple. Just listen to the cicadas, if I lived in Japan the noise would drive me insane. I would be out there with a giant can of bug spray or a flamethrower:

I just love this one. Mainly for the insanity in the comments section. Hey Banpei, have you driven an AE86? (I got that wrong, is was 'Did you an enjoy an AE86?') Someone needs to have a word with whoever asked that. I think it shows that the people at Toyota GB don't even appreciate the fanbase and the work that Banpei has put in.

I guess you are referring to this comment by Toyota UK?


Thanks for the compliment and I feel flattered!

I guess the non-Japanese Toyota media managers have no clue about the large fanbase for the cars they produced in the past. They didn't really get the AE86 in the past, neither did they appreciate the Supra owners and I'm not even getting into the people who love the X-chassis. But what matters is that Akio Toyoda gets it!

Who needs a garage anyway? You can swap a 4AGE+transmission in 4 square meters in front of your house!

Spoiler: not only did RunningFree86 swap the whole thing, he also omitted to place back a proper shifter. At the end of the video he'll be shifting extremely short!

This guy is a hero! Wish I could ride shotgun with him
Had to buy a sticker of off him, very friendly man.

The next time someone tells me that they can't work on their own car because they "just don't have enough space", I'll point them in the direction of Takahashi's youtube channel.
