Is This Japan’s Biggest AE86 Meet!?

[@dino_dc]

How would you build your AE86?

[@Xmadish]

Impulse full carbon + Beams engine + itb's but also OEM interior for that daily usability 😍 (if we had unlimited budget :D)

[@Carbonarars]

I would like a white ae82 like my dad had in 84

[@CCandy279q]

Longchamps.. with g16e swap

[@amonrei]

I would come to this show fully stock except with a cleaned up engine bay haha...

[@Superbayfactory]

I'm retaining the 16V 4AGE engine in its USDM specification with the stock intake (since it's a California car). The only modifications I've made are swapping in a 7-rib block and a TRD 4-1 header. I'm also running the Car Stage Twin Power exhaust, and I'm quite pleased with its performance. My next plan is to address the bodywork and restore the car with its original silver/black two-tone finish. Eventually addressing my mismatched interior. I intend to stick with 14" wheels, I'm really eager to acquire the 2324 edition TE37s. The transmission will remain a T50. I've also made some performance enhancements, including an Illegal Garage clutch, Annex street coil-overs with 7k front 4.7k rear swift springs and a Kazz 2-way LSD. I've owned this car for 12 years, and it's still a work in progress. It's worth noting that here in Northern California, I've seen 30-40 of these cars in one place at most so 300 blows my mind.

I love the tofu, but it’s been done too much and it’s dope to see so many different styles…

[@minh427]

S201 Impreza. remember seeing pictures while it was still dial up internet.

[@psnachtmuzik]

My father had a German spec LHD AE86 notchback when we lived in Deutschland in the 80s and 90s. We had fun doing German touge! He passed away in 2017, so this exposé was deeply personal for me. Arigatou gozaimas Dino sama!

[@christopherlaw9184]

Lots of car history at this meet, WOW❗️I wish I was there… I would be in awe too. Thanks Dino

[@time603]

Run free meets tek arts, and RWH... oh and hibino and Ken Maida

[@markbaker6029]

Awesome video Dino! Thank you for taking us on this automotive tour from across the Pacific. Blessings my friend and as always - stay safe 🙏

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@loosemeatsamich3689]

That’s actual hachi-Roku heaven right there, beautiful.

[@johnshima01]

wow great spotting that subaru s201, never seen one in person! Awesome vid as always dino

[@dino_dc]

Thanks!

[@vintagemilitaryvehicles]

😊 Great 😊

[@wolfplayz8503]

Every motor industry must launch these models again

[@cheharrison7107]

That car show had a street value in the millions. I'll have the sweet estate in the carpark. Great vid, thanks buddy. 🤘

[@dino_dc]

Yeah crazy if you think about it

[@thanatopsis001]

Great coverage! Love to see the these cars in all their flavors

[@yo-edo]

Quite literally AE86 Heaven! I watched the Option video as well and there was a crew dedicated to converting their AE86's to US-Spec. LHD cars and US only trims were lined up. Always fun to see the complete opposite perspective from Japan where here in the US everyone wants to make things JDM. Makes me want to build an 86 one day!

[@edugj23]

The event was literally overflowing, that's a crazy thing to see! 0:11 This bit represents me. If it's unusual, it grabs me.

[@DaveSouthPhoto]

Backend of that impreza reminded me of the 350z (Nismo 3?) / 380RS rear end.

[@toreberger646]

🍀Thank you Dino made my Sunday morning🍀

[@rockymtnsquid4537]

Dino, I love how you can instantly spot wheels and name them by brand. Nicely done as always. Are there MR2 meets such as this in Japan? Would love to see one and have you video it someday if possible.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks! Haven’t yet come across mr2 specific meets but it’s Japan, so 100% they would have that too 😂

[@marceljeromemendoza6433]

Wow that’s a lot of AE86’s out there. Here are some of the things I notice in this video: few Initial D replicas of Takumi’s AE86, a few LHD AE86’s and surprisingly, the AE86 of Keiichi Tsuchiya is also present. Speaking of tec arts, did tec arts already owned that LHD AE86? Because if I remember correctly, in their youtube channel, Kamata-san build an LHD AE86 that was brought by a customer from US to have it build and restomoded by tec arts and have it displayed at sema show in las vegas probably 2021? But anyway another nice content as always Dino.

[@Robloxgrl1]

That wud b Puerto Rican heaven!!! We absolutely love these Corollas n the older ones as well. I had an 81 1.8 notchback 30 years ago that I regret so bad in selling. 😢 If i would’ve known how much those twin cams wud b worth now I would’ve bought a few of them n stored them away until now.

[@nickpappas4133]

Great car show, don’t see any 86’s in Canada anymore. Pretty sure that was a 58 Chevy not a Cadillac.

[@abbag937]

Dino i don't think you understand how much we appreciate your content and the wealth of knowledge that you bring. Please never stop doing what you do 🫶

[@dino_dc]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@carsandkoi]

definitely agree

[@NathanKernn]

awesome video i love seeing ae86 specific videos so i can see and get ideas for my own ae86 :)

[@zwei94]

14:55 that’s a 58 Chevy Impala

[@legkick5]

wow that's great meet. need shopping cart for all those parts

[@buildrestorecustomise2060]

Awesome video! That “TRD inspired” one looks like an exact replica of Keiichi Tsuchiya’s one!….. or was it his actual car??👍👍

[@Thermosmcjug]

Thanks for the vid! S201 is a real dog in the looks department- but probably the fastest factory gc they ever made.

[@_dizzysky]

So many gems. Think the Car Stage Twin Power is my favourite.

[@jeffreybanks9642]

Great content as always one correction which I’m sure you’ve heard by now but the car you called a Cadillac was actually a 58 Chevy Impala. Love your work keep it going…

[@gafrers]

AE86 FTW. Paradise

[@m0bman]

Awesome video! What handheld setup do you use? Is the video in .5 on an iphone ??

[@dino_dc]

Thanks, yes but also mixed with B-roll shot on a Sony camera

[@m0bman]

@@dino_dc on what kind of grip is the iphone on?

[@vc4546]

man you sure know how to wield a camera, such good exposure on every shot

[@reycaballero2462]

Hey Dino and son... thank you for the awesome vid. As an idea/challenge I wonder if you could truly build a car from just buying parts from swap meet.

[@dino_dc]

That would be cool 😎

[@peterga3658]

i really like these cars coupe more .

[@maryvue7267]

Thank-you

[@Oldhotdogwater]

Ahhhh Garage hangs with a new Dino vid😎

[@dino_dc]

🤙🏻

[@rsoul7282]

Initial D has a lot to answer for.

[@akumaz78]

Oh my 😍 Hachi Roku is happiest

[@J2B3]

I was kind of expecting you to comment on how freaking hot it was 🥵 It was good seeing you and Alec 👍

[@dino_dc]

Oh man I thought I was gonna pass out!! Can’t believe it was only a month back

[@unlimitedfactory4297]

Was the gold mid engine AE86 there?

[@dino_dc]

Didn’t see that one this time around!

[@Save.the.legends]

Dammit Dino! Oof, I have never been so jealous. Does this take place every October?

[@dino_dc]

September

[@DanielGarcia-zq5rl]

Dino= 🐐

[@dino_dc]

❤️

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

Your son is a trooper ✌️😎👍

[@dino_dc]

Haha thanks

[@S44BBOI]

old Land Cruiser at 16:15

[@time603]

Man I love your content ❤ you never ever disappointed since you were doing stuff with Hi Performance Imports, and Drift Battle. On a recent video you showed an absolute hero car, and one I've been trying to find out about for at least 5 years.. Saurus Carbon R 'King of the Monsters" 1087hp T51 SPL...6spd sequential That and the JUN Akira have been on the wish list. Any chance of a visit to Garage Saurus ? Thanks for being the best automotive photographer in my lifetime amigo 👍👍👍👍

[@dino_dc]

Thank you! Garage Saurus very soon!

[@nativelegion496]

Tofu seller meeting

[@vtec73]

are the ae86 pretty rare to find if you wanted to buy one in japan?

[@dino_dc]

Depends on your budget

[@NewjerseyXAB235]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Fluchii20]

es el cielo

[@kellybanks3717]

Lord 😐
