      Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

    "There are more gains of sand in the world than there are AE86s" is such a dumb line but such a cleverly disguised joke

A 2x4 wedged between the firewall and front clip and hole saw for the top of the strut I drove it like that for two years. First car, 16yrs old, hours long road trips, 2x4 keeping me safe.

Learned everything I know about cars because of them.
    Sold my last one a few years ago - the one in my profile pic for $2k thinking I’ll just buy another one, but man that drift tax killed the platform for me.
    Moved on to a mk5 Supra but still dream of buying another hachi but for the price they’re going for it’s not worth it. But they will always be the greatest cars I have ever drive .

    Great detailed video, 15 years ago it was so hard to find an ae86 since all the old men were still driving them or they were hidden away not running, the popularity hadn't hit yet so when I finally found a GTS hatch within a mile of my home I had to make a deal and wow talk about being underwhelmed haha if you didn't hold it at limiter when you dump the clutch you were guaranteed to have a lame time with no tire spin. But once I dropped a ar101 4agze in it on 15lbs of boost things were incredible and so fun!

    Actually AE86 wasn't popular and sold well, so Toyota made a special edition called "Black Limited" for Trueno to boost sales.
    This fact also contributed for AE86's popularity in early drift scene. 'Cause we wanna have some fun with our car but don't have much money, y'know.

    • @theholty
      @theholty 13 дней назад

      They sold almost 350,000 (checked and it’s actually 364868) AE86's, it was extremely popular in Japan, just look at any old Japanese videos or magazines and you'll understand how common they were. The black Limited came out at the end of the production run to boost waining sales of the Trueno model in particular, Levin was still popular.

    • @ぢょんすみす-t7b
      @ぢょんすみす-t7b 13 дней назад

      @theholty I guess that 350,000 number came from the grand total of the whole E80 Corolla that also including sedan, hatchback and van.
      What I saw is,
      1.In E80 era, they sold about 36,000 Trueno and 66,000 Levin in Japan.
      2.Though I couldn't find the data for Levin, but they sold about 95,000 Trueno and both E90 coupe are described as "staggeringly sold well" or "the most sold generation of Levin/Trueno" at least in Japan.

      @ぢょんすみす-t7b 13 дней назад

      Oh, and you know why AE86s were popular in Japan back in the day? The used AE86s were dirt cheap and the reason is they were not popular choice of car especially used in general back in the '80s and '90s.
      My dad described "AE86 was a coupe for poor", and the episodes like "AE86 for 2,000 dollars is VERY pricey" or "I got AE86 from a junkyard for 500 dollars" can be found.

      @@ぢょんすみす-t7b nope, according to Toyota’s own data and list of chassis numbers, 364868 AE86s specifically were built. That’s why they were so cheap on the used market, because there were so many of them.
      I don’t where you’re getting your data from but it’s wrong, my own personal AE86 Trueno is chassis number 101461.

    The AE86 platform touched so many Toyota cars throughout the 80s and 90s. I have had several mid to late 80s 4wd Tercel Wagons. Many AE86 parts bolt right onto that car, it's kind of crazy. Especially suspension components and a handful of drivetrain components.
    You really can't overstate how much fun the 80s toyotas are to drive. Their analog setup allows for a crazy amount of feedback from the drivetrain/suspension. You feel everything and you can respond accordingly. They're really some of the most fun cars to drive.
    The 4wd tercels are unlike anything else I've ever driven or heard of. They are full-time FWD and a 6 speed manual transmission. The kicker is you can pop it into 4wd at any time with a nice lil lever, which also unlocks the 6th gear which is an EL granny gear. This means you can enter corners in FWD, use the e-brake to break your rear loose, then when you hit the corner's apex 4wd is just a lil lever pull away which allows you to power out of the corner with crazy handling/speed. With a lil practice you can also pop it out of 4wd at very fun times. Toyota also used really interesting gearing to get as much power out of these small engines as they could. The 4wd tercels only had ~55 hp from the factory but they drive pretty well. You can get up to freeway speeds pretty easily while getting 35mpg or higher, my best was usually around 45mpg out of a 1985 carbed 1.5L engine.
    People who have driven the ae86 platform really understand how much fun these cars are in a variety of environments. Absolute legends. If a person has owned an AE86 it will almost always be their favorite car of all time. They're just so much fun.

    I still remembered the channel hooligans posted they bought a cheapest AE86, an SR5. Of course it's cheap because it's not an AE86 but an AE85. i commented and tried to correct them but a fanatic fan slam on me that in USA are all AE86 including the SR5 which has the engine of 3AU. It's hard to argue to people but I'm glad to this channel that provide information the CORRECT ONE 😊

      Depends on market location car was sold at. North American market never got the weaker ae85 chassis. All were ae86 and Toyota USA vin system used ae86 in vin to identify car as 4ac model, and ae88 as car sold with 4age. Chassis stamps on all north American rwd corollas 1985-1988 got the ae86 stamp. Initial D obv took place in Japan which had a different variants of that model “corolla” to sell locally.
