N2 Racers, Mosaic Censors and Plywood.

June 9, 2009 in Videos by

Although completely untranslated, this video has got to be one of the most unusual N2 ’86 builds i’ve seen yet!

Being built by Tsuchiya Engineering (not that Tsuchiya) for Tsukuba time attack use (and maybe the upcoming N2 race in Okayama later this year), it features plywood underbody diffusers, more monkeybars than your local playground and amongst countless other custom suspension modifications, a very unusual, and apparently somewhat secret, one-off rear roll centre setup; the thing is simply crazy.

The guy in the video is Haruo Tsuchiya and he’s the boss of Tsuchiya Engineering. Normally builders of GT300 and GT500 cars, the workshop has also built Manabu Orido’s RS-R D1GP Supra and countless other race machines so it’s no surprise to see a humble AE86 with this much development put into it. We love it!

Lyndon Galbraith In-Car @ ’09 Coalgate Rallysprint

May 28, 2009 in Videos by

Everytime I see one of these rally incar videos i just have to wonder; Do these guys get sore from sitting on their massive nuts all day? Crazy, crazy sh*t! This time we see NZ lad Lyndon Galbraith in his Levin in the 3rd run of the 2009 Coalgate/Auchenflower Road rallysprint in which he placed first in his class, third for two wheel drive class and 15th overall! Lyndon says:

The event is run by the Autosport Car Club and is a 9km fantastic fast piece of road which attracted 56 entrants
It’s run @ 1 minute intervals and was originally pace noted, but we chose not to use them. I’d highly reccommend this event to anyone!

Do any of you rally in your AE86? What kind of tips and tricks can you share for those who want to get into it? Hit up the comments and help spread the love!

A Little Traction Over Here Please?

May 20, 2009 in Videos by

Quick vid of Nick Teebon tearing up the 2009 Auckland Domain Hillclimb in his turbocharged hachiroku. It looks as if it hasn’t got any traction at all, but he still holds onto it like a pro! Nice work Nick!

If your in NZ and keen to hit up some hillclimb action in your very own ’86, Driftopia is hosting the next event on June 1 at Taupo Motorsport Park. Check their website for more info!
