The history of my '86

Together we've been drifting all around Ireland and the UK, France, Belgium, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and even the USA.

Latest update before I leave her for my new FD machine !

what power is it putting down ?

I remember being in love with the car when it was first in modified motors I actually had the page taken out and on my bedside locker for months maybe years lol..was just so perfect!!didnt like the kit do but I suppose it had to be for the mag and prodrift at the time lol...has had a fun life hear in Irl..

Serious looking! Loved how this car looked with the rockstar sponsors.:)

fuk i always wondered who owned the white twincam that used to be on every1 bebo (the picture with the kit and minilites on ):)

sweet bus dude-love the trueno front,best of luck with her

x2 it looked so badass:)

Such an animal car, and such a history to it too. This and Paz's are the two F20c'd 86s that always come to mind for me. Both deadly cars, yet Paz hated his and you did amazing in yours, so always left me wondering is a F20c 86 a good idea or not lol. Very cool to stick with the same car, and yet reinvent it all the time too.

Personally my favourite look was the early 2008 look.

Looked sick on the image wheels, plus it looked semi roadcar too which was cool. Had a 86 myself at the time with a mercury rear diffuser and was always hoping to copy your idea for the rear bumper.

Agree with you 100% ^^^^^^^^^^

Yikes, that is some touring you've done with the corolla! One hell of a car though, made a huge impact in the drift and ae86 scene with it!

Haha me too, and i'v been an adult, how many years now....?!! Being his no.1 fan though im allowed!:D

I must Apologize, one of the lads asked me a while back and i said, no thats a new shell he's running, actually thought it was. Fairplay for keeping her so fresh and different thru the years, always been one of my favourite cams and the engine is a great touch. Keep up the good work and best of luck in 2011.

Love the way you kept changing it my fav was prob the rockstar job worked well with the bn hit cant remember where i seen it like that first but it was awesome...really liking it now though looks very healthy if youd call it that....:)

seen the old rockstar bonnet and bumpers lately i think it looked best in 2005

great thread, love it... the only way it can go now is back into a street machine subtle trueno with great power as your daily... doo eeit

nice you would never think it was the same shell all the way! my fave was the rockstar by far i think

Thanks lads !

Yeah Im much happier now, I never really liked the black but without the bling wheels I think Im into it. Must be getting old, the more subtle the better for me these days !.

I also found an almost full drum of race fuel I didn't use at the EA demo's, looks like a drift day is on the cards !

please change the tail lights!!!!!

other than that....awesome

I'll use up the fuel for you if ya want, just give me loan of the car :D

seriously mint looking again lovin trueno coupes lately!!!

this has had so many transfermations but 2 say da least all have impressed a lot af people da car has been kept in pristeen conditition trough out fair play

Looks lovely Eric fair play always liked this cam shes nearly seen as many paint jobs as Jordans seen boob jobs at this stage lol !!!!

Stunning well used ae86 Eric, loved it with its Rockstar paintwork and since it is F20 powered.When now since it is fully black with a trueno front end!! hate the rear lights tho, oem for the win

fuking sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!

lookin awesome dude really impressed with the rotas personally i think uve pulled off the lights car looks complete :)

I actually prefer red line rear lights myself but I got sick and tired of trying to buy genuine replacements when they kept getting rubbed off walls etc !.

Ebay specials with a lick of tint do a grand job on a competition car, might go with the full smoked Origin ones of I ever get her back to the original white paint job.

That looks bad ass.

You gonna do the next Mondello day?

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...1022011074.jpg

Man it looks awesome, i actualy hate rota for the shit there producing lately with copys of hayashi and a sakura's its just cat but damn the te37v copys are sick! RAGE for the crew at rays eng.!!!!!!!

I see where your comin from with the lights too! whitelines with a gold/bronze paint pen down the whiteline would be nice too and there easily got for 50 blips
