RoCo Performance AE86 V8

[Miguel - Newera]

Those sound great!

After winning the Australian drift championship a couple of years ago Josh spent a year here in Japan drifting.. A bunch of us met him at the Tsukuba Time Attack event and went from there. A helluva tallented drifter...

At the time his AE86 back in Australia was a turbo'd 4AGE. For the larger Australian circuits he needed more torque, hence the 1UZ engine conversion.

It seems to work well, although for sure it does make the front a little heavier. Sounds the bollox!

yeah josh is a top drifter, and a sound guy, loved the cars new look this year, flame red, with the new trueno front was sweet. found his car build when i was looking for details before i started mine last year, n he helped out and pointed me in the right direction for the bellhousing and itb's.

now to mount the engine, at first glance it doesn’t look like its gona fit
but when we measured her up, its pretty tidy. i didn’t cut the bulk head, we bet it back a few inches which was more than enuf, just cut the tunnel,

sitting quiet far forward before I bet the bulk head.

The cut tunnel for the big supra box.
