When Charles asked for each us to select one famous AE86 and post about for 86 Day, it was a tough choice. After a little thought, I went with the somewhat fanboyish choice of Keiichi Tsuchiya's TRD-tuned Trueno. The car has been featured in countless Best Motoring and Hot Version videos, but one of my favorite clips is this one – where Dorikin battles Akira Iida who's behind the wheel of a lightly tuned EK9 CIvic Type R.
Enjoy this brilliant, naturally aspirated battle between Honda and Toyota.
