Remembering Japanese cars from the past
This is excellent news for the three door (aka hatchback) AE86 owners: Impulse AE86 started manufacturing new back panels for the three door AE86!
Just imagine the work and effort they put into this product to reverse engineer a 30 year old complex panel like this and make it 100% identical!
In this video you can watch the actual pressing of the new panels: Continue reading
I’ve seen many Fujiwara Tofu Shop (private) inspired vehicles so far, but this Nissan Sunny RZ-1 B12 is done in such perfection that if the original was a Levin you had to look twice to see the difference.
Of course it does help that the Nissan Sunny RZ-1 B12 and the (kouki) Toyota Corolla Levin AE86 share the same silhouette and have a similar headlights/grill. Nevertheless I can’t recall ever seeing pictures of a panda Sunny B12.

About a year ago I posted a Hello Kitty bus spotted at the JCCA NYM 2012, but that Hello Kitty bus is nothing compared to this pink monster:
This bus has been spotted at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 by Car heal space
Jalopnik posted today a very simplistic idea/how-to about turning netbooks into animated tail lights and guess what they used as an example?
Indeed: a US/kouki Corolla GT-S AE86 tail light! I actually liked the idea that they picked Nyan Cat as the animation! :D
Is this going to be the next automotive craze? And if so, as Jalopnik states, sequential animated tail lights are legal: so why not?
Yesterdays Jalopnik’s question of the day was Who are the craziest car fans? and their list noted the Japanese Nostalgic Car fans to be the 5th craziest of them all:
If you think that new Honda owners are obsessed, you haven’t seen the crews that restore and modify classic Japanese iron. In the States and Southeast Asia they are vigilant. In Japan, they are downright unhinged.
Hey guys, what about the J-tin fans in Europe? I think us, especially the ones on the islands, are equally unhinged as our Japanese counterparts. ;)
Honda fans made it to the sixth place and go to Jalopnik to see the full list.
I’m still owner/admin of AEU86 where all European hachi owners end up sometime, so I was quite surprised to find this rare beast on my forum:
The car was built by Nakai-san from Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB) where he used the Run-Free kit as a basis for its styling.
It allows the Work Meisters to fit nicely under the wider arches: Continue reading
