Black TE27 Trueno inspection

After a bit of disappointment with the orange TE27 Levins, I decided to drive down to Fukuoka to check out a black TE27 Trueno.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Man, what an epic-looking car. You definitely got a gem with this. The colour and wheels are a perfect choice complimented by that sound of the 2TG

[@slpery86]

Thanks man, it's a good one! Looking forward to autumn drives

[@optimu5grime531]

Chances of me watching this after seing your latest videos @juiceboxforyou this is a dream car

[@mattteee2973]

Other than those seats its perfect, the little scruffy bits just make it more useable without it feeling like a museum piece. Love the carb burbles!

[@slpery86]

Yeah just needs a few little things but pretty happy with it overall!

[@rbdimsim0016]

Congrats mate! Looking forward to future videos on this beast.

[@slpery86]

Thanks man!

I bought a te27 earlier this year as well, not as clean as this one but i got it for a pretty good deal and its kept me busy building it all summer. I also have an AE86 (since early 2000s) - cool to see that I'm not the only one!

[@Lucas_Shaolin]

Dude, it is almost perfection! Good find and great purchase

[@slpery86]

Thanks man, pretty good starting point!

[@shuichinz]

Mean, kinda wish you had filmed so other cars there that place looks like it has awesome gems, I'm a fan for Carinas and Coronas.

[@slpery86]

I did, but decided not to include it. Will do some more filming when I go to pick up the car

[@leahchyan]

Such a sick car. Congrats Rob!

[@slpery86]

Thanks Leah! Will have to bring it to show you guys sometime :)

My first car was a KE20 - It had been in the family since it was 1 yr old. Funny looking at it now as it was only ~20 years old at the time, which is about the age of the cars i currently drive (m35 stagea & dw demio). Gotta love that carby smell

[@slpery86]

Crazy to think they're 50 years old now!

[@pauly1605]

Simply unreal find!

[@slpery86]

Thanks! Thing is so good

[@banpeinet]

What a beauty! When you pick up the car, be sure to drop by Daniel O'Grady of wasabi cars as he lives in Kyushu. He loves these old cars!

[@afx31_]

What a beauty! Having 33yr old cars myself, you definitely learn to not be too fussy with some things, just need to consider the age and what the car hhas actually been through. Definitely looks quite the solid base from the vid! I might have missed it, but is the idea it'll be your car for a while or just one to sell for work?

[@slpery86]

Yeah man definitely, all the bits of rust and worn areas are definitely more understandable given the age! Who knows what will happen in life, especially Japan life, haha. But I'll do my best to keep this one

[@afx31_]

@@slpery86 And even with that, rust can always be fixed/cured. It's a shame a lot of cars porbably get pushed aside once someone sees some rust. Yeah fair comment. Atleast you can enjoy and create some memories of it that you can look back on if worst comes to worst.

[@jayveethreefive5214]

Looked like that yard had a bunch of cool cars!

[@slpery86]

Yeah man, heaps of cool cars in the garages

[@DanielSheedy-ks9us]

Hi, I have been looking on and off through importers here in Australia for the last 3-4 years. Would you mind telling me if you are living there? Are you sourcing it for yourself? And what sort of money did you spend? Cheers for making the video

[@redeyerob2176]

Thats a nice TE rob, 100 percent with you on the seats and wheel, some bride histrix seats and a classic nardi would be the proper job or even a oem passenger seat and a bride brix for the driver. Wheels and stance are spot on though

[@slpery86]

Thanks man, yeah definitely has the look!

[@kevinbilalcrow]

Brother what camera do you use? Are you making any updates soon? Miss the chill vibes. 💪🏻👌🏻

[@gemizu4874]

wow it sounds amazing!

[@AE86KP61]

Congrats man, that things so nice!

[@slpery86]

Thanks man! Good buy

[@SalinasGarage]

Just got to own my dream car ae86 coupe, this is my 2nd place dream car

[@poundcake7493]

That's a proper te27, good find there.

[@slpery86]

Yeah, definitely has the look!

[@84ae86ohhya]

That’s a dream car there. Sucks that most of them in the states are rotted out.

[@TheWarbut13]

Nice fine mate. Do you live in japan ? Im thinking of coming for a holdiay . Wouldnt mind bringing one back to Australia with me . Already got a ke25 here

[@slpery86]

@@TheWarbut13 yeah man. Super cool cars, took it for a bit of a spin today, always brings smiles

[@BuntaKnows]

Looks so much like a 71 72 rx2!

[@slpery86]

[@brawlerwork]

Oh mate that's so nice. You don't want to find me a nice green one and ship it to Australia do ya? 😅😅
