    Now he needs to make a plastic AE86 and make it RC-controllable. After what I've just seen, anything is possible.

    It's like the guy who built the scale Ferrari that not only runs, but has working gauges and stuff. Just amazing.

    I've seen the 4age swap in the AE86 so much that it's practically correct these days

    On US models, if the 7th character in the VIN is an 8, the 4A-GEC is correct.

    I wonder if you could get those mini replica, working V8s and put it on a bicycle.. if so, totally awesome.

    Oh, and the detail on that model is insane. I'd like to see the finished product

    Thing is a 1/4 scale viper engine will still be over 2 litres, so it isn't much of a model engine as a smallish V10.
