The AE86 is an AMAZING car.

Here she is next to a new toy I just picked up

And here are some track videos of the AE86 chasing (and catching) much faster cars (M3s, SVT Cobras, WRXs)

It's swapped with a motor and tranny from a Honda S2000, so it blows my 2.5L Boxster away.
Here is us at the 10th Annual Japanese Classic Car Show.

If I had to describe it... power difference aside, the AE86 is what a Boxster Spec Racer would be. Completely raw, unadultered, to-the-ground driver's car. It has no power steering, and the suspension is very stiff (see how I'm bouncing around in the videos). If the Boxster was a surgical knife (and a pampered one at that), the AE86 is like a meat cleaver. To me, it is the pure essence of driving joy, with just you and the car and nothing else.

It's hard for me to get pics of my 3.8 because it's in California and I'm in Arizona. The shop doing the swap is called Precision Motion, and they're taking their damn sweet time with it (it's been half a year!). But we're doing it right. Getting a third radiator, upgrading the two stock radiators, getting a suspension to match the new power (thinking Bilstein PSS9s), and a new 6 speed from a Boxster S. Trust me, nobody wants to see pictures more than me.

But here's two pics of the crank:
