Keiichi Tsuchiya's TRD AE86

That is one sweet sounding car!

amen to that

sounds very linear and tourquey. u can tell he is very used to that car the way he controls it. every movement of the car is intentional.

Darn it! It cut off, just as they were going to describe the TRD tune on the car.

Sweeeeeet. I've actually seen a video of him outrunning a mildly tuned gtr in that.

yeah its got like 160-170ps if i remember correctly

Probably more than that, I remember reading it pretty much has the same preparation level as a Formula Atlantics 4AG, which hover around 240-250hp.

Umm... yeah.

Well, it would make the beating of an R32 alot cooler.

I ran into this a long time back. I tried going to the site to find where the pic was or find anything related but nothing, and it's all in Japanese. It's supposedly KT's TRD AE86 specs, and would like to see every piece of this translated. Does he have other AE86s he uses in BM vids? Anyways...
Enjoy!

maybe someone here who understands japanese characters could translate? or find someone to translate it ?

The car has 175bhp and was a gift from TRD to him, for his love and promotion of the ae86 cars.
