At the "SWAP & MEET in Myoko" event, which was held for the first time, we spotted a Toyota "Celica" with screw-on wide fenders. We talked to the owner, Mr. Kazuo Yoshikawa, and found that it was a special spec Celica equipped with the rare 152E engine.

We asked Mr. Yamazaki, who found such a Toyoace at a store and rescued it after servicing it with his own hands, to introduce his beloved car.

The cool GR86 we found at the "Miyagi 86/BRZ Meeting," where 150 cars gathered, had been lowered just enough and fitted with special wheels. The key point is the US-spec front grille. The casual customization sets it apart from its rivals.
