Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

Small update. I replaced the Tanabe Exhaust with a Fujitsubo Legalis-R W-tail as described in this topic.


I also made a comparison video between the two exhausts:

The old Tanabe exhaust was then traded with another AE86 owner for a set of Atiwe Käseloch (cheesegrater) wheels that originate from a Haslbeck trim. I fitted the wheels, but wasn't happy with the looks and someone already bought them and picked them up last weekend.


Two weeks ago, R.ave contacted me about a journalist who wanted to feature his AE86 on the Dutch Toyota website. Unfortunately, the engine of his AE86 was at that moment being removed to be swapped into the car of the owner I traded the Tanabe exhaust with. So he referred the journalist to me.

The idea is basically to create a portrait of a Toyota owner who has an interesting car and is attached to the brand. They did a similar portrait on various owners, like a Sera, a Carina and four Crowns

Then last week the photoshoot happened:

It's still unclear when the story will be published, but probably somewhere in November or early December.
