Toyota AE86

Background

Driftworks DW86 Toyota Trueno AE86 Drift Car

Originally a mere 16v Panda Trueno that I bought in a seriously rusty state. I first started down the rebuild road making it a 20v clean street car. I then bought an ASCAR on a whim. This is a low level NASCAR built for a long gone UK oval racing series, but the car was LS powered and had some really awesome parts. So a plan for a super extreme butch AE86 drift car was born.

I kind of never know exactly if I'm going to get round the track or it's going to spit me out. 

Over the course of a few years, the car has become one of the crowd favourites, always putting on a show, and always blowing peoples eardrums out.

To this day it’s still one of my most exciting cars to drive. It’s such a short wheelbase / square footprint, and it has so much grip it makes for a wild ride, and I kind of never know exactly if I’m going to get round the track or it’s going to spit me out.
