Proof that stickerbombing is not some new craze at all:

Nineties stickerbombed kouki Trueno AE86
Okay, not entirely true: the stickers are perfectly aligned to each other (just like the late 90s/early 00s TFNF fashion) but the whole car is covered...

Found at: [El & BB Miyazaki]

Last weekend the Hachi Rock Festa 2010 was held at the Sagamiko resort. I already did find some really nice pictures of this largest AE86 event!

Sure does look like they had fun! Wish I could have bought one of those vintage wheels...

And what about this crazy smallport 4AGE blacktop with ITBs?
More Hachi Rock pictures and gallery links on the next page!

Now I would be very surprised if I found my garage on the front of a model kit... Same happened to AE86 specialist Tube Garage when they saw this Aoshima model kit with a Sprinter Trueno AE86 on it:

And here is a picture of their workshop:

Found some drifting footage of a preliminary for the middle cup in Sekiasakitto.I have no idea who this guy is, but his lines in the Trueno are really aggressive!

I love the sound of that 20v revving through the corners!
Now if only I could find more of this guy! ;)

Yesterday I already posted the Levin video that was posted on HR Blog earlier this week. I promised a follow up, so here it is: the Toyota Sprinter Trueno variant of the same video! D.O posted this additional video on AEU86.

Rally drivers Per Eklund and Klaus Fritzinger drive the Sprinter on the Nurburgring, Zandvoort and Spa again (only the order is a bit different).

This video is even better than the Levin video: the Trueno video shows even more sideways action than the Levin video. Who said Keiichi Tsuchiya and Initial D were the ones to popularize drifting? I think it rather was Toyota with this video! It is a beautiful sight how the panda red Trueno and white Levin do a tandem drift on Spa Francorchamps!

I also spotted a Carina on Spa Francorchamps at @5:41 where Fritzinger talks about the zenki Sprinter Trueno performance. At first I thought he was holding the zenki Trueno catalogue, but when I double checked I found out that pictures of this trip were used in that catalogue, so that wasn't possible... What was he holding then?

To complete the whole video, the Sexy Sprinter song at the end makes you feel you are back in the 80s again. The echoes of the squealing tires make me want to watch Shuto Trials again! :P

Only the choice for the title of the video is a bit weird IMO. Nowadays it would definitely have a very different meaning. :D
