Since I was on holiday for the past four weeks I totally missed hachi-roku-day! :(
Lucky enough I already saw some great stuff in the past days like the 48km Corolla GT on Speedhunters. I also saw this video by JRotaro on Youtube of lots of hachis having fun at the Fuji drift course next to the Fuji Speedway:

Now this is something you definitely don't want to miss! ;)

HachiRock Festa 2011 has been announced just a few days away from Hachi-Roku day. Now that's some really good news!

HachiRock Festa 2011
As you can see the festival is held on the 19th of September in the Sagamiko resort and the artwork is just as beautiful as always!

You can find more info here

This picture was taken on the AE86 Matsuri at Tsukuba Circuit earlier this year by a Skyline R30 owner. Amazing how many hachis were present at the matsuri! Can you count how many hachis there actually are present at the paddock?

Count the hachis!

Found at Com etc

I bought my USDM Corolla AE86 with a cracked windshield. This was mainly due to a design flaw in the AE86: the support for the windshield is a watertrap and after trapping water for more than 20 years it rusts through from underneath. Naturally this stresses the windshield and hence it cracks. So I accepted the cracked windshield, took it out and had its support repaired before replacing the windshield. Then the problems started: a replacement was not easy to find.

Carglass was only able to source a Corolla AE82 windshield and with help from Toyota Netherlands they sourced a windshield from the UK. I've heard from many other AE86 owners it is a big problem to find a new windshield nowadays because apparently the AE86 windshield is almost extinct now... So currently the options are either pray or find a used windshield...

Yesterday I read some breaking news on AEU86: a windshield replacement has been found for the AE86!

AE86 windshield replacement: Daewoo Nexia
ZaX mentioned someone told him (max_ae86?) that the Daewoo/Chevrolet Nexia windshield is a 99% fit and the only thing you need to adjust to make it fit is put a little bit more glue on the topcenter (where the rear view mirror is mounted) to make it fit properly.
I know from experience that the EUDM windshield is the same as the USDM, but I have no clue if the JDM windshield is the same...

This is the exact model Nexia you need to borrow your windshield from:

What better way to familiarize your daughter with drifting than have her play with your AE86 from now and then:

Little hachi daughter
Judging from the buildings and mountain in the background I guess this picture was taken at Ebisu North
