Simply the Best, vol. 2
Díky Prezovi se k nám na web dostala pravděpodobně nejlíp upravená AE86 z celé Evropy. Ianův Levin poháněný čtyřválcem F20C z Hondy S2000 je díky svojí kvalitě a stylu úprav rozhodně jedna z nejlepších 86 na jakou můžete na internetu narazit. Je to ale ta nejlepší a ultimativní AE86? Podle mě patří světové prvenství někomu jinému…
Newera Imports patří mezi jedny nejuznávanějších exportérů aut z Japonska a do světa za deset let svého fungování vyvezly více než stovku unikátních kousků. Miguel Varella-Cid, jeden ze dvou zakladatelů Newera Imports, se v roce 2004 rozhodnul začít s drifty a po prodeji svojí S2000 si pořídil kouki Corollu Levin. Po dvou letech upravování se na auto dostala snad každá ikonická součástka jaká jen jde na AE86 sehnat. Na speclistu jsou věci jako motor z dílny Techno Pro Spirit, převodovka, samosvor a podvozek od TRD a nebo kola Watanabe RS.
Unikátní neni tahle 86 jen díky tomu z čeho všeho je poskládaná. I přes svůj výkon a vše kolem toho jezdí Miguel s autem denně a bez větších komplikací.
