Tbh the AE86 is a legend because of drift king Keiichi. His drift tape is what inspired movies like fast and furious, and the modern day car culture. Most people know it because of memes but in terms of cars, it like the grand daddy of modern day car culture and drifting.

wasn't the point of the anime that the dude was winning in spite of his car rather than because of it? It turns nice, it's a nice ride, but it has absolutely no business whatsoever street racing.

[@tripleoo0]

[@pegas203]

his father tuned it for years

[@tehidiotboys3010]

This car has received legendary status in Japan and I dare say around the world, mainly due to Keiichi Tsuchiya and Initial D

[@philspaghet]

It's a total underdog machine. But look into the details, the engine has been tuned for years by his father, the suspension specially set for the mountain roads, everything is optimized. The only thing it doesn't have is power, but that just comes with age, old cars get old, new cars are better. So to answer your question, yes, he won in spite of it BUT it has ALL the business street racing (not to mention success in rally, WTCC, pro drifting, etc.)

[@Lauren_C]

[@dylanmontealegre1914]

@@None-vg1qw just checking... Duncan is not gonna BS you, right?

[@None-vg1qw]

@@dylanmontealegre1914 Duncan isn't BS as far as I know. I've had my car for almost a year now and I've had no problems. When I purchased my car it was from the tennessee location and as I far as I could tell, all of the cars in their inventory were high quality. I will say though, Duncan very much overcharges for most of their cars. The cheapest way to import a car into the states would be to buy from auction in Japan. Although, the downside to this is that it can be a bit risky at times since you can't inspect the car in real life. On the upside though you can save quite a bit of money if you do it right. The best company for buying from auction would be pacific coast auto. They've been around over over 10 years and probably have the best reputation. If you do decide to go with an importer that already has an inventory stateside avoid Japanese classics llc/JdmClassicsLLC like the plague. They were exposed from doing some very shady things semi recently. I can link to the posts detailing what they did if you would like. So basically if you want to be able to get the car immediately and inspect it in real life go for an importer that already has the car stateside. You will end up paying a little more for the convenience though. If you want to save money, buy from auction but you will have to play the waiting game and fill out a lot of paperwork.

[@jonathankeith524]

128 horsepower is certainly enough power to spill a cup of water. However, if you were to use the aftermarket cupholder, it might not be enough power. Looks like a pretty sturdy cupholder.

[@jonathanc866]

Jonathan Keith 128 hp is really fast during the 80s

[@jonathankeith524]

Well, it was decent. The Sprinter's light weight is what made it fast. And it had great handling. Fun car, in my opinion. I saw an authentic AE86 a few months ago when I was at a Sacramento car show. It brought back memories of watching Initial D.

[@kanggoo57]

The Joker i got a 1986 celica and it has 160hp and it was fast back then really fast.

[@L3THALXFOX]

Jonathan Smith in initial d the manga at least... the 86 was 150 hp with shorter gears tuned for maximum acceleration. Not to mention the suspension changes the lsd and weight reduction to make the car pretty much a track car

[@xen84]

There's really not much reason to want an AE86 over the alternatives unless you like Initial D probably a bit too much. About the only thing about it I find really appealing is the engine note. Sure, there's a lot of stuff it does well, and it may cost a bit less than a Miata if it weren't for the fan demand driving up prices on the limited supply, but if what you're after is an older, cheap RWD car that handles pretty well, there's far better alternatives out there.

I usually like your reviews but you have gone about it all wrong for this car. You need to understand what this car means to the car culture.Sure its slow by today's standards. But 128 hp in the early 80's ? How is that even bad? That was amazing from a 1.6 L engine back then. Especially on an engine that revs to 8000 rpm. This was a car you could daily drive AND have fun. IT IS A FUN CAR! You didn't even mention that in your review. Where today can you buy a 18K-22K brand new, japanese reliable, RWD, fun car which is practical to drive every day. No where, they don't make them. That is what this car represented. That is why every car enthusiast wanted one. And the balance of the car made it ideally suited to the touge and high speed drifting done by street racers in japan. No questions, for its time and for its status it is the best car ever made.

[@ravenjames3873]

anime is a cartoon.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

If I recall correctly, an anime is a cartoon but a cartoon can't be an anime, because anime has a certain style to it. Tell me if f I'm wrong

[@crojalwol]

I mean, "cartoon" is used for animated shows, while "anime" (outside of Japan) is used specifically for Japanese animated shows. So, animes can be called cartoons, but not the other way around. It's just that cartoons have a pretty negative stigma because most cartoons in the west are lame and/or for children. So, since some people don't want animes to be put in that box, they don't want to call them that. But really, they are cartoons. And that's ok. There are some great cartoons in the west too, like Code Lyoko or Avatar. Rather than contributing to the "cartoon is children bullshit" stigma, we should work on making people understand that animated shows can be amazing and for all ages. Calling cartoons "anime" if they aren't from Japan is a different story. It's true that, in Japan, "anime" simply means animation. But people outside of Japan wanted to distinguish Japanese comics and animations from the rest, because Japanese industry has basically created it's own culture that goes far beyond "it's just animation", "it's an animation style" and things like that. So they started calling Japanese animation "japanimation", then the term eventually became "anime". "Anime" doesn't have the same meaning inside and outside of Japan. But the meaning outside of Japan doesn't affect Japan, so the word-stealing isn't really a big deal. Using the Japanese word for animation is basically just a tribute to the language.

I fucking screamed on the bus when I saw one pass my bus. 86 is love,86 is life

[@edge21str]

I would've bought one if the fucking weaboos hadn't inflated it's price so horribly. Who pays 10k for a 30 year old ecobox?

[@carbonbonds3019]

This is literally the perfect car for drifting and track use. I would happily trade my s2000 for one of these in a heart beat

[@AnimsOnDemand]

Carbon Bonds Is it really? I'm honestly wondering how this car does in those categories. I will admit the anime is the only reason I've ever wanted one but even I doubt its performance. If I'm proved otherwise though...

[@AnimsOnDemand]

Carbon Bonds That and the fact that Keichii Tsuchiya raced this car like it was the best car on the track. It looks like a fun car if tuned properly. I want to at least drive one.

[@edge21str]

Carbon Bonds Are you even at all informed about this car or are you just another one of those weaboofags who'd pay massive amounts of money for a underpowered ecobox? The weight distro is around 60/40 and is has a terrible tendency of oversteering because of the live axle in the rear. The front suspension isn't very refined either with an oldschool mcpherson setup. It's hellafun to drive on backroads or even on the track but it's not some sort of godmachine, far from it actually. The S2k or even a miata would smash it in any possible way on a track. It's sure great entry level car for drifting but there are better cheaper ways that get more power. 4A-GEs are NA so getting big power figures out of that is pretty expensive.

[@CPD0123a]

edge21str 1st: You act like its tendency for oversteer is a bad thing. That's THE POINT OF THE CAR. Just like the GT-86 that is its new grandson. Yes, in actual races, Tak would have lost every time because drifting slows you down. Yes, in actual races, drifting is terrible on the car and the tires. Yes, in actual races, drifting can kill you. However, on a "fun" track day meant to just go out and have fun, there's nothing more fun than swinging out the rear end, and that's what it's for. 2nd Of course it's got an old front suspension--that's why they sell upgrade kits. 3rd Yes, you are right on the money about the engine, and even a Mk. II Celica-Supra (the big daddy to the 86) is cheaper here in Amurica. While I love the Trueno, I would most likely instead have the CS Mk II because of the bigger engine, cheaper price and it has the same styling, if not better. 4th At least they're not yet another "track tuned" beemer E36 with no give in the suspension and an insufferable twat behind the wheel. That said, I sorta hate how every single trueno has to be given the panda package. (such as this, which is such an obvious repaint) FOR GOD'S SAKE, HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALITY AND CREATIVITY, PEOPLE!!! It's like how every Delorean is the BTTF car, even if it doesn't have the kit, and every caddy or pontiac hearse or ambulance from before 1977 has been turned into an Ecto. It's cool on a nerd level, unoriginal on a car level, and not honest to the car. (BTW I watched the anime because I loved the car, not I loved the car because of the anime. I'm backwards on that one.)

[@Skeemask]

+KingCadillacHimself Initial D

[@ACoolStupidDog]

+KingCadillacHimself Same reason some people buy DMC-12... Nothing fantastic.

[@Lauren_C]

Hontoni Arigato agreed. Primarily a collector's item today, when similar, more modern cars like the S2000 or Miata can be had for cheaper and possess similar performance characteristics. (lightweight, low power, high rpm RWD). With some precision, even FWD econoboxes like the Civics and Mazda 3s can give some thrills. Not hating on the Corolla/Sprinter by any means. It's a fun car. I just wouldn't go out of my way to get one when other, cheaper choices exist.

[@hontoniarigato7956]

Yea I totally agree you could get a used S2K for 10K, a 1986 Corolla is a joke compared to an S2K you have to really love Initial D to buy it lol

[@Mr.timecapsules]

Keiichi Tsuchiya that's why

[@808jspekeg6]

In initial D, the AE86 wasn't the car that was magical, it was the driver, Takumi Fujiwara who was a gifted racer that made the AE86 look magical every time he strapped on his AE86's seat belt. Initial D was based off of the real life drift king, Keiichi Tsuchiya.

[@fizzie6902]

[@ancientwestonian]

Takumi Fujiwara's 86 had an aftermarket cupholder in Initial D Second Stage Episode 6 seen at 15:42 in the upload by Funimation.

[@s2korpionic]

Can I just say... As a kid who grew up with the Initial D cartoon... I like it, and hate it too. It was probably due to this fucking cartoon that got people into believing the R33 Skyline GT-R was a ... what was it? Oh yeah. "A disappointment" "Heavy" "Slow" Bullshit. It was MUCH faster than the R32 Skyline in the Nurburgring. It was the first production sports car by Nissan to break the 8-minute barrier on the Nurburgring. The R34 Skyline which precedes it, was only a few tenth of a seconds faster than the R33 on the Nurburgring. But that's only in the perfect condition. In most cases, the R33 and R34 would be absolutely similar in terms of performance.

[@mrknister95]

I love you

[@s2korpionic]

***** Mine would be the R33, then it's a 50/50 shoot-out between the R32 and R34. This is based on the JGTC years, when the R33 Skyline had to go up against the McLaren F1.

[@mrknister95]

I prefer the R33 over the R32, and the R34 over all of them. But I still love them all the same. I just can't stand when people say the R33 is shit just because they read about some idiots saying it is.

[@s2korpionic]

***** Could you show a link on these tuners that are disappointed with the R33? I've seen plenty amazing R33s from tuning companies like APEXi, Greddy, HKS and a few others I've forgotten. Probably Top Secret and Veilside. Your point on size and weight makes no sense to me. Size-wise, there's no discernible difference compared to its brethren. As for weight, how is it that it's more difficult to remove weight from the R33 compared to the other two? And the R34 being "such an improvement"... Yeah, from my experience, I'm not buying it. Best Motoring show and RL experience shows that the improvements are... minimal at best, especially when tuning is involved. With that said, this just makes the R33 more impressive than the R32/R34 simply because it's closer to being a grand tourer than a sports car.

[@mrknister95]

You're talking about the R32 being light... That may be true for the GTS-T. But the GTR is at least 1400 kg or about 2800-2900 pounds heavy.In comparison, the R33 weighs about 1500kg and the R34 too. These 100 kg or 200 pounds or whatever don't make that much of a difference.

[@Vyppaaa11]

Two things 1:Chassis code does not have to mach a vehicles VIN, this is especially common with Toyotas. 2:He talks about power output like it is an actual mechanical difference. Everything about the engines themselves is the same. Bore, stroke, compression, cam dimensions, intake runners et cetera all identical. The reason the power output is different is due to the north american version using an AFM instead of a MAP sensor. The AFM was more restrictive but slightly improved emissions.

[@Gohan_with_glasses000]

Vyppaaa11 you couldn't say it much better

[@yashk3904]

Vyppaaa11 He’s right. For example, on a BMW 330Ci VIN, you don’t see “E46”, but rather “BN53”, which denotes an E46 330Ci.

[@rimjobledouche5201]

Is it possible to switch that AFM sensor to a MAP one?

[@TBustah]

As soon as I saw this thumbnail, I knew "weeabo" would be uttered at least once, but right out the gate? I wasn't expecting that, but was not disappointed. XD

[@juanitasiers7294]

I loved this car cause it was one of my favorites back when I played Forza. I fell in love with it. Did not know till reacently there was a Anime featuring this car. now I want to watch it. Anyways love this video 😂

[@Paramuza]

Did you watch it?

[@PCNERD19]

I never watched Initial D, I learned about this car from Underground 2 when I was 8.

[@zerocool4835]

Hes right it can be a little boring but if u like drifting/ racing its worth checking out

[@DominikMaslyk]

Same here. But with Prostreet as well and I was like a year or two younger

[@projectmessiah]

one thing i never get while discussing or seeing someone review an ae86 is the idea that its supposed to be an amazing car. in the the show itself the ae86 is stated to be not the best car. its merits are stated but the whole idea is that Takumi (the protagonist of initial d) is a really skilled driver. even the car itself gets upgraded to the ae86 turbo because it was to slow to keep up with one of the other characters car and Takumi was beat.

[@TGCPhilip]

I know the ae86 because of Initial D but I love it because of it's status in the Irish rally scene, I'm actually gravitating towards the Levin version because that's what was usually seen on dirt.

[@Mittenssan]

I'll have one some day, I hope ;___;

ROJ GERMAN go to goonet exchange I found some truenos gt apex models.. under 25k

[@Arm_Chair_Engineers]

I don’t know why people say the car in the show was magical, it wasn’t! A huge part of the show was that the 86 was technologically obsolete even in the 90’s so it was amazing to his opponents that takumi was winning so many races with an antiquated car. Takumi was the special one and the whole show was about how the 86 was a lightning rod for his prodigious talent. The story aimed to show that a skilled driver was what made the car, not the car itself or the tech a car may be endowed with.

[@L00PdeL00P]

[@rollingtones1]

In 1985 model year, this was sold in the USA as a Toyota Corolla GTS. I sold one to my girlfriend while working at Hallisey Toyota in Haverhill and put an Alpine and a/d/s sound system in it. She loved it. When I showed it to a local stereo shop, they offered me a full-time job on the spot. I went in there to buy some Nakamichi Reference Gold Cassette tapes, so I could really hear what the new system was capable of.

It's still an AE86, Japan doesn't have a VIN so comparing that is not applicable and the model code says AE86. The American delivered cars may have the steering wheel on the left and have and an extra piece restricting airflow, but apart from that it's the same car, just with different badging
