What is the difference between the black hood and white hood of the AE86?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction about the AE86 black hood and white hood: 1. Appearance: The early model's original white hood forms a sharp contrast with the mid-to-late model's carbon fiber hood (lightweight modification for racing against the Toudou School EK9). 2. Font: The side fonts and their positions are slightly different. According to my research, the font position on the black hood is the most consistent with the TV anime version, while the white hood AE86's font is noticeably thinner and slightly smaller in size. Additional information: The original engine used in the AE86 was the track version of the 4A-GE. In Japan, the technology for modifying this engine has reached a highly sophisticated level, with many tuning companies manufacturing various aftermarket parts specifically for this engine. Later, the black engine hood was adopted after an engine swap, with the black color being chosen for its carbon fiber composition, primarily to reduce weight.
