Started the build back in 2020. It originally started out black, but I later painted it white because I wanted to keep it looking clean and true to the classic street style. I took a lot of inspiration from the Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. I had an AE86 back in high school and missed it a lot, which is what inspired me to build this one.
This is my fifth AE86, so I’ve gained a lot of experience from owning and building these cars over the years. I didn’t want to go overboard with this build—I wanted to keep it simple, balanced, and true to what makes the AE86 special. At the end of the day, it’s honestly the most fun car I’ve ever driven in my life.
