Machine Check: Tony’s AE86

“I bought this car because I wanted something a little more fun to drive than my Celica GT-Four. As cliché as it sounds to many AE86 owners, Initial D had made me want one for a long time. It had to be the Trueno and hatchback combo, as it looked quite similar to my fourth-gen Celicas at the time. After watching this amazing show, I delved deeper into the Japanese car scene and went further down the rabbit hole—watching Hot Version, Video Option, and numerous documentary videos about the Corolla chassis on YouTube.” – @80sauto.jp Tony
