  • Summary

  • Back when tidy AE86s were still going for $3,000 AUD, Ben of Third Strike Fabrications knew he needed one in his life, and 4 or so engine swaps later he gave us some insight into his build and the Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin/ Sprinter Trueno platform in general during the World Time Attack Challenge.

    Ben touches on known issues relating to the rear suspension, why a K24 instead of the 4AGE or 7AG (which he has tried), retaining variable cam control (VTEC), future fine tuning plans and more in this interview of what was certainly one of the tidiest AE86's we've seen in a while, including (but not discussed) it's full titanium exhaust system made in-house by Ben and his team.

    Basic rundown:
    Engine: 'Built' 260hp K24 with Drag Cartel aftermarket camshafts
    Electronics: Insight Motorsport wiring, EMtron KV8 ECU
    Transmission: 6 speed J160
    Fuel: Dedicated E85 build
    Past engines: 4AC, 4AGE, 7AG
