    I can't understand a damned word, but boy is this cool to watch.

    The white TE71 in that clip is just gorgeous.

    I've watched a couple of the others, but I see now that I have some homework to do. Many clips to watch, much knowledge to absorb.

    Did I catch that correctly that the SR-powered hachi was pushing 600hp?!?

    This makes me want to find an 18RG for my upcoming Celica project...

    WHOA! I hadn't caught that the first time. 600ps (or more precisely, 592hp) is astounding!

    Cool vid, gorgeous looking Corolla's, and AWESOME intro music!

    Anybody catch the 'Engrish moment' in the title? It's Levin, not Revin...

    Well, being that Japanese does not discriminate between 'L' and 'R' sounds, technically either is correct.

    Cool vid!

    Looks like that almost 600hp AE86 is running a 7.5" Supra rear axle, but I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.

    I love the style of the TE27 with the 2T-G twincam, but the sound of the TE71 with those Solex 44mm sidedraughts is tough to beat!

    The FWD AE92 with the 3S-GTE swap looks like it has plenty of torque steer.

    Thanks for sharing...looks like some other good clips in the "related" column which I will have to go back to later...

    Here's another particularly good one: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q_0o3O5ZU4

    KP61 racers at full noise on a Japanese track. These little cars are amazing in the corners!
