GTA 5 - OG Vehicle Customization - Karin Futo (Toyota AE86)

Welcome back to the series where I customize and review OG, and older DLC Vehicles from late 2015 and older that I was never able to make videos on. The reason I make these videos on these older cars is to provide my opinion on how they currently stack up to newer ones in-game. And ultimately, help you better decide on whether or not you should buy them when/if they go on sale.
Karin Futo
Base Price - $9,000 (OR Free From Street)
Class - Sports
Drive-train - RWD
Primarily Based Off - Toyota Corolla Levin AE86

That's true the futo is a creation of Mike Bush, an American vehicle designer for Rockstar UK, and an AE86 enthusiast.

[@puddleschemes3947]

More over, the “fujiwara” wheels are the watanabe panasports in real life. Bunta fujiwara was rockin wats on his 86 too. Fujiwaras come stock on the futo.

[@ryanknol3876]

I’m still disappointed that the Panto has a carbonfiber option for almost every part *except* the front bumper; that only has a painted one with a carbonfiber lip. That way you can’t really make a full carbonfiber version since the front bumper will always remain colored.

[@happyendingservice]

I love how Rockstar added the Rolling Dude livery, which is a nod to the Tokyo Extreme Racer series where there's a team of 86s known as Rolling Guy. There's a Rolling Guy 86 that has a livery similar to this one. Actually the Team Auto Exotic and Garage Drift are actual nods to real 86 drift/track cars. Very awesome

[@Demon666x3]

Last time I was this early Dinosaurs still exsited.

[@DigitalCarAddict]

bruh lol

[@NEEDbacon]

6:12 I saw this livery in the thumbnail and thought it looked pretty familiar. Then I see it's called Rolling Dude 7 and was shocked. GTAV is probably the last place I'd expected to see a Tokyo Xtreme Racer reference but props to who ever put it in.

I think Bollokan Prairie is one of the car that need to get the attention. Although its a slow car, but the options to customize it after the After Hour update is very decent. Hope to see you customize it someday :)

[@Papa_Swish]

Remember in 2013 when you were the coolest guy in the session if you managed to get the Obey Tailgater to spawn naturally and saved it as a personal vehicle? You never see the Buffalo S, Tailgater or Bodhi in Online anymore, it's a shame because they have alot of customisation for launch-day cars.

[@AudiRS6power]

I build the Tailgater and bodhi 2 says ago, fantastic OG Cars imo

[@ryanknol3876]

They probably have that much customization because they’re the main characters’s personal vehicles from story mode.

[@The_One_Over_There]

A thing a lot of people seem to miss is that the front is from the Levin Zenki (first model), And the back is from the Levin Kouki (facelift model). Just a odd little thing that most people who aren't into the AE86 that much don't know

If you see this, I want DCA to customize the Överflod Entity XF. (like the comment and the reply if you think it’s a good idea)

[@CienosRamone]

Funny fact, in the car livery is written:: 　慣性ドリフト　Kansei dorifuto --> Inertial drift

[@Callum-fe3fp]

Please do the penumbra next it has decent customisation for a street car

[@ryanknol3876]

The Bollokhan Prairie (Hyundai Tiburon) has a lot of customization options too, especially for a street car. When the nightclub update was released they added livery options to some older cars, such as this Futo, the Penumbra and the Coquette classic. However for the Prairie they didn’t stop at just liveries; it also got a lot of bumper/hood/exhaust/spoiler/etc options added as well.

I have the GTA AE 86 eleven and man I like it also fun fact Toyota released multiple versions of the 86 there was the base Sprinter Trueno and AE86 eleven The one we see in the game is based around the eleven these are the fact that the styling is a more appropriate to rallying and easier to copy

[@reaganriggles8526]

What can I say about Initial D but... Gas! Gas! Gas! and Running in the 90's lol but it's a great anime though. And the Karin Futo was my first car and I dubbed it Ole' Betsy because I like the Beach Boys car songs and it looked like a Betsy to me. And I played the missions over and over so I can get the casino penthouse and get more cars. Great video 👍

[@prettybadplayer782]

I'd love to see a review of the Merryweather Mesa (aka warstock Mesa), It's sorta forgotten rn. Only time you actualy see it when your ''borow'' something from them. My second Pick would probably be the Importe Phoenix. Fun fact: You can't buy this one, you have to find it. It's been one of the first cars I ever owned in GTA ONLINE, it was incredible. But nowadays almost noone has it in their garages...

My account (which I had since 2013) was resettled by rockstar months back. I miss it greatly, this was one of my favorite games

I have a soft spot for this car because it was the car that taught me how to drift in this game and I used to use it a lot in story mode. I love taking the car out for a spin once and a while.

[@kennethabebdroth8513]

I see the difference in a drift and powereslide as it's beginning if you downshift to raise rpms or handbrake it's more of a drift if it's just put your foot to the floor around a corner it's a powereslide
