[R1CHYY]

might b the pics, but thats uglie...looks like it will go hard anyways tho

[Rakurai]

The most homo sexual choice ever!! it will go hard none the less

[Johnny_K]

Tis a sad day for me, but in the end i could see it happening. Its an interesting choice and i cant wait it to see it in action.

[slide86]

so will his hachi be for sale on yahoo auctions then?????


haha i doubt it!

[roadsailing]

and its powered by an SR20, where is the sense in that?

[xolent]

for weight diztrubition uleh

ueo= TRAITOR!!!

[ae86hachiroku]

he's back in the ae86.. check reports on the D1 world match in Irwindale

[Course_Out]

Well that was short lived......

He's not just using his old car for Irwindale like Taniguchi and Miki did last time (or the time before, lol)

[selk]

i knew he would come back... look at yates he had a stint wit the rex then he realised he missed the hachi too much http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[us_ae86]

What about all the AE86 Suspension products he has pruduced??? he CAN'T leave the 86 scene. He makes a good strut bar. "Ueo Style"

[slide86]

id say this would have happened due to sponsors
just like alot of people change cars.
they simply have to, to keep doing what they love doing.

doesnt mean hes no longer driving 86's

[D0R186]

yep changed due to sponsered ride i hear, another reason i hear is that his detuned ae86 was no longer competitive as was too slow

[us_ae86]

just this past year at the Formula D competition i went to, there were 86's reaching entry speeds of 101MPH!! emagine that in km's. wow.
I also got to party with some of the drivers. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif i'm a lucky bastard.

[DavisJD]

350Z are mint. I luv my AE86, but i'd love a 350Z as well! If your going to change car, I say good choice.

[Course_Out]

If its n/a its all good

[DavisJD]

It's turbo, its still all good

[D0R186]

i guess it was just for that event?

[LordNafe]

He'll still keep his AE86, but if he's getting a full sponsorship from somene they basically tell him what to drive, not the other way around http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif You can't expect to tell someone who is giving you FULL support for the season what car you wanna drive. BAsically "Ueo, we'll give you a full sponsorship for 2007 if you drive our car".
As much as I love Ueo's trueno, and defiantely think he's the msot talented driver there, good on him! It's about bloody time he got a good deal http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[ghetto ke]

old news and probably Ueo's spare* D1 car but was up for auction when this thread started...

*As he was in USA D1 Allstars event 16-17 December 2006

[outcast350]

So roughly how many 86's remain in D1?

[ae86hachiroku]

there is..

Toshiki Yoshioka - NOS 4AGE powered N/A Red Coupe Trueno
Kensaku Komoro - N/A 4AGE J-blood Green/Yellow Hatch Trueno
Wataru Hayashi - N/A 4AGE Red Hatch Levin
Tetsuya Hibino - SR20 turbocharged white Hatch Levin

There's probably more that enter to attempt to qualify to the actual day, but those 4 are the more well known ones.
Most AE86's have left D1 to compete in MSC instead, along with famous drivers such as Taniguchi and Orido.

[kaibeecee]

Ueo now competes using a S15 in Street legal. the Z33 was for SL too, though they've changed cars.

he is still using the ae86 in the D1gp itself.

[ae86hachiroku]

I believe he is driving Kazama's S15 now in D1gp.

[Johnny_K]

yep, i believe he came 8th in round 1 ebisu this year, but the next 3 rounds after that he hasnt had much luck

[GAKI86]

i bet you guys never heard of Tengku Djan...

hes like the new ueo/fine ae86 pilot...

keep an eye out on him..

he went 4th on him debut in D1
