This car is literally part of the fabric which made the early Australian drift scene. It's a shame you couldn't have interviewed Beau Yates as this car has some epic stories and has managed to live many lives

[@snip3d]

Oh thats THIS car? I got photos of it going back to oran park then......... wowzers.

[@SmallBlogV8]

That looks as high-end as a factory-run Touring Car. Impressive stuff.

[@JaydeJackson]

Australian builds are always next level.

[@xorzero]

Cant tell you how happy i am that you featured this car! Would love to hear more about the rear end camber ( In japan they cut and weld them for -1 degree of camber) would love to know if he achieved that some other way, or even a revisit with Beu Yates walking throught his work of art :)

[@shaymusmcdonald3204]

Have a look at Perkins engineering page . Jack goes over it on one of there Resto v8 supercar builds

[@xorzero]

@@shaymusmcdonald3204 dude that is so cool! found it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppS0hYuebs9jqpIsi=YmAFoUDrxVLUqmSh&t=142 thanks so much for sharing, now i have to figure out how to do this on my ae86 lol

[@Sam125s]

Its a Race Products cambered Hilux rear end. Check out their page. Been used for years in Aussie club motorsport.

[@kylepadelford]

Amazing fit and finish. Looks like a ton of thought, blood and sweat went into this build. Fantastic work!!!

[@zerodrift1]

Thank you for getting some footage of this car. This is absolutely stunning and very inspirational! I hope my AW11 looks this clean when finished!

[@user-mk5er1ks1w]

The king tsuchiya 👌👌😎

[@p7rox]

Didn't know one of the Hemsworths was into 86s.

[@_odamaru]

💀

[@KuroRyuu86]

Yo Mr. Yates ( and mates), you have being the Aussie version of the Drift King from the time I discovered The best motoring Drift Bible. I was at the Perth racetrack when you first started out as drifter in this very car in my teens ( I think I still have those pictures of that day). PLS PLS put this car into a Museum instead of selling it to someone random. You shaped the aussie drift scene and KEPT IT A TOYOTA all these years.

[@rideepicdriveepic]

That's one awesome car. I have to say, it's crazy that in year 2023, it's cheaper for me to own a fully spec'd mint Nissan 370z, than it is to buy a Trueno AE86.

[@garage79r]

I adore this. I wish I could do an all out build like this.

[@JB-sv5pr]

Same

[@Drunken_Hamster]

The conversion for 320kw is 429hp. Pretty sick, and right spot on for that weight of time attack car and that size of engine so that the turbo system is responsive.

[@casefc3s]

"he got rid of the headlights" *stares at it for quite some time* ...oh!

[@K_Swap_The_World_69]

Lets Go Larry! Thank you for bringing this to the light I love Option D Films!

[@grahamparsons1070]

Another gem Larry, absolutely perfect. Well done 😍

[@BullyBreaker]

This is insane. Pure off the wall build.

[@EGMAX]

Holy Grail of project cars...

[@jhonnalbisa8422]

Now that's one well tuned car right there🥶

[@chapel976]

320kw = ~430hp

[@joeym2675]

What a Beautiful and Awesome 86!!!!

[@enmanuel4214]

Wow just wow. What an amazing built

[@illestJun]

Been waiting for this larry, thank you.

[@LowetheTechGuy]

This 86 is incredible!

[@ronin84]

Sickest engine bay I've ever seen.

[@truenoguy4159]

Hachi royalty right there🙌🏻

[@carlswenson5403]

You should do a deep dive on this one.

[@Skiridr22]

I’m flabbergasted, one of the cleanest engine bays I have ever seen to date and it couldn’t be in a more perfect platform the engine is the K20 of Toyota

[@EE9Civic]

That thing is awesome.

[@05DoitforBrock]

Sweet ae86 . Larry can you do a top 10 cars you have filmed over the year 🇦🇺👍

Solid rear axle, light, reliable 4 banger... Yes. Its perfect.

[@davidjohnston8639]

Great car, Aussies do some great work.

[@feral4mr2]

Beautiful car!

[@gafrers]

That carbon hood Screams UnderSuzuki

[@matthewpham]

Very good spot. It’s the same carbon manufacturer for Under Suzuki’s S15.

[@gafrers]

@@matthewpham Thanks for confirming it. Love both this 86, and Under's S15

[@mcbedeakin]

Carbon Junkie is the brand

[@s15melb]

I was going to say im a siliva guy and even i know the hoods the prepreg carbon junkie brand! lol@@mcbedeakin

[@PETROS747]

one of the best ae86 in the world

[@jeffarcher400]

After all the work it becomes too nice to beat on. It's a historical motoring legend and belongs in a museum. It would feel so bad being the guy that crashed it. It's so light. I say if the original ae86 is made out of origami this one is rice paper.

[@briangriffith3985]

i guess that ball joint rear end setup is similar to a 4wd farm tractor

[@fnktnxdsgn]

Been waiting for the WTAC content! 🤙🤙🤙 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@TKDWolf]

I would love to see how they managed the subframe for the BEAMS swap. I'm hesitant to 3S swap mine due to how tall the motor is and the necessity to space or modify the subframe. Going dry sump probably frees up some space.. hmm..

[@andrewlewack2201]

Pls do make a vid of this car driving Larry this is really Beautiful would love to hear how it sounds driving🙏

[@gregory81588]

Looks like some nice Workshop Takumi carbon bits on this car.

[@christianaugustin7047]

Cool guy.

[@JB-sv5pr]

86 ❤

[@jamiepursall]

The only Downside is the sharp leading edge to the splitter. Rest of this thing is mad ❤

[@estherdlcrz]

The sharp leading edge of the splitter is the only downside, but everything else about this thing is amazing! ❤

[@mattcook3801]

Did Beau end up selling the 86? I’m sure I saw it listed for sale last year.

[@eugenefurter6469]

There are dudes sipping their morning coffee, then lose their whole minds knowing how cool this car actually is.. and then there are the people watching them lose their minds😂

[@LLbrker]

Can you do a LC print of this car “collage” maybe 😊❤

[@Barry.ONeill]

Its a similar quality to an Irish tarmac rally car mark 2 escort 👌100k raly cars 💯

[@sillyboyjun]

the hood highly possible is from takkumi carbon from Japan. The style looks like it.

[@eddiehp6108]

Whats that tube shaped into a coil?

[@alanmarino2511]

Larry may be adding to his stable soon🤔

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

Beautiful, video could only be better if the DK himself was here.

[@Xristoforos41493]

Oh a Revin prease! Prease be Revin me drive that, prease!

[@olivierevrard286]

JDM Supreme must buy this car, it would be in good hands with him, he will use it as it should.

[@unknow5518]

Kieran is a monster fab

[@kevinruger8819]

No head lights…. Lightning McQueen: I’m a race car, I don’t need race lights because the track is already lit!

[@m.s.r4hul]

OMG

[@crazyforeigner]

👀

[@garlenseong38]

Gotta be the cleanest ae86...

[@Austin25Rivers]

The hood is ReadyGoNext hood

[@DefaultName-ql2os]

Isn’t that a Carbon Junkie hood? (Out of Japan)

[@cj41079]

True racecar is mostly custom....

[@mskfactory1]

Why do I feel this guy looks like Rob Dahm

[@anbu999]

Can you still call it an 86 with most of the original components replaced ?

[@Daniel-RunToRoyal]

I thought the Dahm fella gave up on rotory engines...

[@stance46]

Next video: “I sold all my cars and bought?………”

[@attilavidacs24]

Toyota Genuine Parts. I don't think there is a single Toyota part in that which hasn't been swapped out or modified 🤣🤣

[@batchmotorsport]

Anyone can drive this car if they want... in Juiced 2.

[@thedoctormma9433]

430 horsepower in a stripped out ae86 😭😭😭

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

It'll go into some private museum never to be seen again 😅

[@0scNeu]

Traveling and having time to shoot is incredible but I know you need another team or set of hands and it baffles me that investors aren't going to you.

[@teqdigest]

The hood is from carbon junkie.

[@kwa_nguyen]

Brooks 34 is cooler .

[@anthonynewlands6469]

The bonnet, grill and bumper are all carbon Junkie items
