An actual genuine AE86 - being used as an endurance car?

There are not many genuine AE86’s around nowadays, most people are re-badging an AE85 as an AE86. So to come across one that has been racing for over 10yrs and is New Zealand new (not a japan import) makes it pretty rare.

The Team Heagney Racing AE86 Endurance car has undergone some pretty big changes in its time. From starting out with a 4A-GE to now running a Toyota BEAMS engine with a twin scroll BorgWarner S200 turbo setup. Andre talks to Ryan Heagney about the history of the car and how it was potentially one of the earlier builds to run the BEAMS engine. Also talked about are the custom pistons made for the car along with why they sleeved a cast iron block and the benefits to doing so.

Amazingly the car still runs the factory wet sump setup - If it ain’t broke don’t fix it right? The whole rear end of the car was also redesigned with a Toyota Hilux head with Race Products 950 series wheel end. The car is also running a Link G4 Fury ECU and an Aim Solo2 data logger. Another consideration that is covered is setting up and tuning the AE86 for endurance racing and how that can vary from track to track.
