Levin AE86

TOYOTA AE86 LEVIN PANDEM WIDEBODY

Professional drifter Dai Yoshihara got the chance to build his dream AE86 but he went a bit further and added a controversial engine swap, not just for the hype though, a very usable Honda Civic Type R engine in a nice light weight shell is going to be a lot of fun. We got a chance to talk to Dai at SEMA 2019 for him to show us around this fantastic track car. As retro cars go, this is one of the most fun ways to enjoy it, light car, strong modern engine. This one comes with custom Pandem body kit to give it that meaty wide arch look and a set of great BBS wheels wearing some equally meaty Falken tyres.
