Back to basics...


News this week is the plan for Toyota to venture back to the Front Engined RWD Coupe. Word on the scene is that they will build a cheap RWD car again with a fun factor like they did in the 1980's - the AE86! It will run a 1.5l 2NZ-FE engine, which already has a handful of tuning goodies developed by HKS,Blitz etc. So much talk has went on about this kind of car for years, I expect it to replace the MR2 generation maybe but if it came about then all I can say is it would be VERY popular. When I was at Toyota in Nagoya,Japan there was also talk of it, so one can only hope it comes true! We will see...Im sure the tuners out there are already thinking of new ideas...I know I am!!
