  1. The AE86 is a treasure trove of ideas!
  2. A midsummer annual tradition!
  3. Close coverage of an AE86 one-make track day!
  4. Takumi Fujiwara (just kidding!)
  5. This team with its unusual name and stickers entered three cars today. All three had different setups, which was interesting.
  6. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  7. Hood dampers from an Avenir adapted to an AE86! A hood that rises smoothly is very appealing.
  8. Adapted dampers make
  9. opening and closing easy!
  10. Zeon forces spotted!? Team Side Three
  11. PRINCPALITY OF ZEON
  12. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  13. Let us see: Takahashi’s white car has a 4A-GZ; Yamamoto’s blue car has an “AE2” [engine reference damaged]; and the red car has an “AE55” with a five-valve 4AG [owner and codes damaged]. Their engines differ, but their enjoyment is the same—that is the AE86’s appeal!
  14. The best!
  15. AE86
  16. Whatever happened to the Project D plan!?
  17. A casual glance inside revealed a paper cup marked “Fujiwara Tofu Shop” in the drink holder. Could Takumi have been here too…?
  18. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  19. Great ingenuity! An assortment of small tricks
  20. Fujisawa’s Levin
  21. Ganador
  22. Stylish!
  23. The mirrors are…
  24. Screw reinforcement instead of rivet reinforcement!?
  25. He has ingeniously modified what we think is a TV bracket to mount extra gauges and a drink holder. The owner must be full of ideas!
  26. Sudo’s Trueno
  27. Owner unknown
  28. Combine them and this is what you get!
  29. Interior accessories…
  30. Ganador mirrors for the FC3S fit extremely well. They look set to become an AE86 standard!
  31. …screws driven into [panel/location damaged]. “This really works. The car feels much sharper,” he says, so the effect is clear. Apparently he used [quantity damaged] screws.
  32. A wind chime turned into an intake trumpet!
  33. Tashiro’s Trueno
  34. Hasegawa’s Trueno
  35. These intake trumpets are made from modified wind chimes! A great idea. But because of their dimensions, only three could be fitted.
  36. INCAM
  37. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  38. Opening the hood is fun!
  39. Cooling champion!
  40. Today’s
  41. Two oil coolers, one HPI and one Trust, are force-cooled by electric fans! Thanks to that [OCR damaged], oil temperature reportedly never climbs even in summer. This is Yoneyama’s Levin!
  42. …the effect is clear [fragment].
  43. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  44. Engraved cam-cover setup
  45. Few people notice it!
  46. This modification…
  47. Cam covers with an original paint finish
  48. Shimizu’s Trueno
  49. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  50. Sunburn [label reading uncertain].
  51. Hino’s car also uses FCR carburetors, but look at the cam covers! They are painted with a flame pattern, giving the impression of an owner who really cares about the engine. Nice! Even the intake trumpets are coordinated—what a touch!
  52. Rising oil temperature is never a worry!
  53. Can you see the modified areas? Notice how neatly even the raised lettering on the cam cover has been painted separately!
  54. Brief assessment
  55. The silver areas are polished, while the other areas are painted glittery black metallic. Can you see the engraved grooves along the boundary? Amazing! Going to this much trouble is surprising. The paint is good too—an engine bay to be proud of! [Some connecting text is damaged.]
  56. The cam covers have actually been engraved!
  57. Brief assessment
  58. Twin oil coolers mean no trouble!
  59. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  60. An AE86 in true Kanagawa style!? Zoom in on Yoshizawa’s Trueno!
  61. [Unclear: fragmented OCR label.]
  62. A Solex carburetor setup, proud of its TRD N2 exhaust header. Despite fitting two oil coolers, airflow still reaches the radiator properly, so coolant temperature reportedly does not rise either. [Connecting OCR is damaged.]
