This post isn't about having the right or the wrong rims. It's not about stance, offset, demon camber or wheel fitment. Nor is this post about whether or not it's right or wrong to swap your AE86 engine to another brand. No, this post is about one thing only: a celebration of the worldwide AE86 community. In compiling these photos, I'm quite amazing to me to see just how far the cult of the Hachiroku has spread... It seems like there are fans of this little car in every pocket of the globe!

I'd like to thank everyone who sent in their photos. They are still coming in as I type this blog, but I've been able to format the the first set of pics for you to check out. They are presented in no particular order; enjoy!

It's amazing how much love this car gets around the world! The only thing that makes me sad is the fact that they are extremely rare in Europe :(

I want to like the AE86. I had an AE82 in fetching gold and while it was an OK car, it kind of skews my appreciation of the AE86. I know its a totally different car, but i see that nose and i think AE82 :(

it could've been about stance and rims and it still would've been an awesome post.

I sold my cancered out gt-s coupe non-runner for $500, so I understand.
