TRD Clutch & Flywheel For The 4AGE

Hi guys.

Since the current TRD 3 pucks clutch worn out, finally my brother made up his mind to take another set of TRD clutch for his beloved 4AGE engine. But for this time, he chose the full-face organic TRD race clutch and not the 3 pucks design. Pictures below.







He made the decision to choose the full-face design because he founds that the 3 pucks design tends to wear out really fast. A 'no no' for a guy who uses the car as a daily driven car and during weekend track days. Other than that, he also upgraded the stock blacktop flywheel to lightweight ones made by TRD . Picture below.



After the upgrade, i can say the clutch are grippy like the previous 3 pucks design and it wont judder when take off from standstill. The engine also revving 'happily' , thanks to the lightweight flywheel.

The Return of The Hachiroku

Hi guys.

The President of Toyota has revealed the car that will replace the legendary RWD AE86 Corolla or as we all know as 'Hachiroku'. It is due to go on sale towards the end of 2011. The concept car will make its world debut at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. For the time being, let's enjoy the pictures of the successor below.












Since it's still a “concept,” Toyota hasn’t revealed much about the FT-86 yet, but from reliable source, it will be powered by a Subaru-derived 2.0-liter boxer four sending power to the rear wheels. Toyota focused on keeping the weight down to improve handling and, according to one source, the platform is unique to the concept.
