Been a while since I was on here as have been without a toy for 6 months whilst I found and imported it from Japan.

She's a racing spec AE86 built and set-up by Techno Pro Spirits and proving to be lots of fun.

Yup most certainly with a 2-way diff although has obscene amounts of grip so a great B-Road/track toy.

No suggesting that you bought the car because of the program, it's just quite a good watch!

Thanks for the kind comments, it wasn't cheap to get a car in so good condition with such a good spec/set-up.

Few more pics...
