TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) has announced they will be reproducing spare parts for AE86 Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno. The company has confirmed sales will be available for both domestically and overseas on 1st November 2021, as part of the GR Heritage Parts Project.
At the moment, the company has confirmed rear brake calipers and steering knuckle arms will be available from 1st November 2021 and the rear driveshafts will go on sale from 1st December 2021.
But you need to take note that the reproduced parts will only be produced for a limited period with the special cooperation of its suppliers; for this reason, after their production periods have ended, each reproduced part will only be available for purchase for as long as stocks last. Details such as part numbers and production periods will be published on the TGR website from November 1, beginning with the parts that are ready for sale.
The Levin and Trueno are the sports models in the Corolla and Sprinter series. Only vehicles equipped with the 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve (4A-GEU) engine were given the “AE86” designation. Despite production having ceased more than 30 years ago, the AE86 continues to be extremely popular today, and is affectionately referred to in Japan as “hachi-roku,” meaning “eight-six.” The GR86 that was launched on October 28, 2021, and the 86 that went on sale in April 2012 both inherited the culture and tradition of the AE86.
