I'm starting on my project to do make 3 AE86s, cause parts will be going back and forth between the 3. They Include, the Takumi Trueno, Wataru Levin and Tsuchiya N2 Levin, with a different scratch built engine in each one.

1) Takumi Trueno

Still collecting parts for this one. Here you can see the 4AGZE engine and header (to be modded for 4 cylinder).

The engine is slowly taking shape. Oil pan is done, but you can't really see it in the picture. Still trying to figure how to line up the firewall and radiator frame.

This is a VERY hot project. Keep us posted!

Oh my goodness. Three AE86 projects, this is a bit overwhelming for me! I have a similar 20V Trueno planned myself.

Do you have any other pictures of the rims? If I'm correct, they look like 10-spoke wheels. Any idea of the name of rims they model?

I have the banner that you are looking for, there is one difference, Fujimi didn't print "TOYOTA" on the top left-hand corner. If you want it, PM me.

very nice, i wish i could see better pics of the flared fenders on tsuchiyas 86 ..i looked at this thread twice and only now realized that it had flared fenders :P anyways good going w/ the lotus engine..im going to have to keep my eye on this one


PS i like the "speed" poster w/ the sigs haha too bad they aren't around anymore

I can't stand when people call them turenos. It's really agrivating. I didn't mean to be mean, but that's just one of those things that bugs me.
