86 Drifting in Japan: Is This Our Fate?

[@cy__ko]

Thank you for helping me realize that maybe we ARE in a new golden era. I feel like I don't appreciate modern day cars enough and your message helps

[@Nick_Ramirez]

THATS RIGHT BRO

[@jletterpbpp8259]

I don’t know why, but the statement: “shoulda got an 86” sounds so raw

[@RezBoaDawg]

After driving an 86, GR86, and BRZ, I've happy that the future will have these cars. They are so much fun to drive!

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Couldn't agree more. Best car ever.

[@neostrike-gundam2817]

FYI, the yellow 86 aero kit is genuine aero kit, the car sold as GT Yellow Limited Aero Package (GT イエローリミテッド エアロパッケージ). 86 aero package also sold all over the world with different colors, Toyota dealer in Hong Kong called Aero Package trim as Sport Plus package. As the community did not get used to such aggresive aero kit, many of them either just bought base trim or aero package but swapped to trd lip spoiler.

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Interesting info about the Hong Kong dealers! Thanks Bro😀

[@neostrike-gundam2817]

@@Nick_Ramirez As I have a Sport Plus Package (aka Aero Package) with MT. In HK we have drift area with wet condition only for reducing the noise disturbance to nearby resident, but 86 is very nimble that can chase a S15 really close with a pure stock engine (160hp on wheel only!!)

[@Nick_Ramirez]

@ ahh thats so sick! I would love to see pictures if what your drift area in HK looks like 😁 Are S15 popular in HK?

[@neostrike-gundam2817]

@@Nick_Ramirez Many JDMs in HK, Silvia and Chaser are quite common drift cars in Hong Kong as well, those might be better condition than in Japan as our place is too small and can barely make a 3rd gear entry lol, also no snow season which shall be less rusty

[@Casey__Jones]

When the GT86 came out it was the only car that was on my mind. Now that I have my car and to see this car from being so hated to become a modern icon, it makes me so happy. 86 on top! 🗣️🤙🏼

While the golden era was long over, we've unknowingly stepped into the platinum era of stylistic drifting. We're all living through history right now boys!!

[@zaneferris7512]

After drifting my gr86 for a year now, I’m happy to say this is going to be a gangster car for grassroots not just now but in 10 years

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Best car ever

[@CRXnick]

I'm mostly a 80s/90s Honda guy, but i plan on saving up for a gt86 as a daily pretty soon, I've been fwd my whole life

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Need to buy a garage, my apartment is already filling up and I havent even bought my car yet, wife will mad

[@jccccc4065]

Good work nick! Back in 2002-2006 drifting was really in cali from what I remember. You could buy Option videos at coconuts, it was tough for sure. Once the 350z came out that’s when things picked up.

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Thank you!! ahhh I was just a wee lad, my dad had a 350 growing up so that is probably what did it for me haha. What was Coconuts?

[@jccccc4065]

@ coconuts was a video store at the mall, like FYE. RSR had one of the 1st 350zs in the US back when I was in high school. I had a fox body back then I wanted to drift but everyone roasted me for it! Lots of old knowledge out there. I’m from Chicago, ask me anything and I’ll try to answer!

[@Nick_Ramirez]

@ Good ole foxbody. I was around a lot of them in college because LMR was in my college town. How do you feel about how the scene in Chicago developed to where it is now? Finalbout, all the days of streeting before that etc….?

[@jccccc4065]

@ all the OGs are growing up and there are lots of young talent stepping in. Finalbout is crazy, so much talent. I’m exited to see gen z take drifting to the next level. Having access to so much data and how-to’s is invaluable! Before you had to research and find and hunt for parts, setups or get past gate keepers. I plan on getting a BRZ and building it with my son once he’s older, just like I thought my brother when he was little!

Beautiful wild cars

[@fridayhrs]

I like seeing Japan's scene of 86s because I see so many similar builds in the states that just don't hit it for me. Every time I see something different on these 86s in Japan, I'm usually like; I wonder why they chose/did that.

[@Nick_Ramirez]

Yeah true, however I think USA is winning as far as stylish drift GT86's at the moment... Japan will catch up

[@Nightmare_cp]

I'm surprised why many people don't think about kit cars, they can be an only solution to extend the era of Nissan S chass

[@Nick_Ramirez]

GT86 is the only answer for me
