At the opposite end of the spectrum to the clean EK9 which was on the site yesterday, this beast was sent into us about a week ago.
I remember seeing this car at Japfest this year and it just stood out. It wasn’t because the car was rocking some super amazing mods or anything like that but the way it had been put together just worked.
Erwin Wurm, some artist who’s idea was to make some fat cars came up these crazy creations.While everyone is all about stripping and stuff this guy keeps it real in the opposite direction. Who knows why, maybe to show that cars can get fat too?

I’ve always kept an eye on these two cars, two of the nicest AE86’s rolling around the streets of Waterford back when everyone was deep in the fast and furious Max Power world. These cars have been with the owners for years. I decided to feature both cars together fresh out of a restoration. Both owners went completely different directions so it a fascinating story. If you’re wondering why we’ve called this thunder vs. lightning, well because Trueno translates into thunder, and Levin loosely translates into lightning.
Yes, this is as confusing as it looks, but it does look almost look like a livesport spoiler for a k11 march! Someone must have wanted the feel of a subaru in the shell of a march! Or maybe they just couldn’t afford one.
I was going crazy I missed this last year, so this year I made sure my weekend was free to trek up to the AE86 track day. It had been raining all week and was looking bad, which is typical in Ireland. Somehow the rain decided to take a break only for that Saturday and mother nature even showed us a bit of sunlight which is always a treat.
Be sure to check out Paddy’s damn cool write up on Street Racing and Casey’s yard up on Speedhunters if you have missed it. He presents a proper argument and tells you how it is.

Just looks like your average B5 Passat yes? Have a closer look at this beast, which was just in time for Halloween….
Chris Gray just got back from an interesting trip to the infamous Tec Art’s garage in Japan. For those of you who don’t know who Tec Art’s are they are probably one of the most well known ae86 tuners in Japan. Tec-Art’s is a small family-run shop in the outskirts of Tokyo, a place that over the years Kamata-san and his brother have turned into one of the most respected hachiroku shops in Japan, They’ve built some infamous cars, we recently had this video on the site of the Eco 86 which Tsuchiya drove around Tsukubu in video option.
