Classic AE86 Drift Car Engine Swapped with Type R Turbo

Engine swaps don't get much cooler than stuffing a modern Honda 2.0-liter turbo-four into a classic Corolla drifter.

A lot of skill and money went into that but it's barely a Toyota anymore.

For sure. It would have been cool if they'd kept a Toyota motor. This is almost like an old Ford running around with a Chevy motor. That said, I still think it's cool as hell.
