Chris Gray just got back from an interesting trip to the infamous Tec Art’s garage in Japan. For those of you who don’t know who Tec Art’s are they are probably one of the most well known ae86 tuners in Japan. Tec-Art’s is a small family-run shop in the outskirts of Tokyo, a place that over the years Kamata-san and his brother have turned into one of the most respected hachiroku shops in Japan, They’ve built some infamous cars, we recently had this video on the site of the Eco 86 which Tsuchiya drove around Tsukubu in video option.
Lets continue where we stopped with part 1, looking at some super nice examples of some of the countries nicest ae86’s.
Hot Version proves yet again that the AE86 can still keep up with the latest cars! While they proved the AE86 could still easily win from several great cars like the Skyline R34 or the Honda S2000 and tuners like RE-Amemiya and Amuse, they now proved it can even keep up with the latest Eco trends: the Tec-Arts Eco AE86 beats a field of Honda CR-Zs (and a Mini)!
This Hachiroku was undoubtedly one of the most well known in this country. The car just had that vibe which made it stand out. It looked so fresh for its age. Being 27 years old the car didnt look one year of it. With its fresh coat of metallic red over black and some shiny work equips with some insane dish on the rear, this car oozed everything an ae86 should carry.
Seen this a while back but didn’t have the site going to post it. So if you havent seen this enjoy.. and lets hope she drives it hahaha

4 minutes in team t50. Good stuff
Check this beast in better quality. hopefully they dont enhance the plates.
These are the new te37v from rays. They looks amazing, and they only weigh a measly 5.3kg EACH! Check it
They look relly nice sitting on The hachirokus from impulse
For a modern wheel it sits really well, The v supposedly stands for vintage and and the wheels come in 114.3 in 4 stud drill pattern and will be offered in 7.5 up to 10-inches wide in two colors only which is a shame. The Endless mono block brake looks amazing lurking behind these wheels. Cant wait to see them on other cars…
This is old but deserves a few more views. This video is fucking amazingly edited. Check the amount of abandoned goodness at the end… Gotta love that Nobushige Kumakubo inherited land and decided to build this place. Hes got some serious life drifitng and running team orange and then enjoying this place whenever he feels.
