Japan's biggest 4AGE festival - Celebrating Toyota's iconic engine

I went to the very first all Japan 4AGE festival!
There were over 500 cars in attendance and all were 4a-ge powered. There were AE86, AE82, AE92, AE101, AE111, AW11 and many more cars with the iconic engine. 16 valves, 20 valves, ITBs & forced induction. There was even a funky engine from Office Tomitaku. I got to make a lot new friends and look forward to coming back again.
Many thanks to T.M. Works for hosting the event.
I hope you enjoy the video!

I'm @odapower86. Thank you for showing my beloved 86 in the video! It was a great memory. 🙌 We are planning to participate in this event again this year. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.😊l

[@RoMFinishTheFight]

This was amazing! AW11S! I miss mine!

[@lavafish7660]

Love it. The only 4AGE powered cars missing were the Chevy Nova Twin cam and the Geo Prizm GSi (my personal favorite), would love to see someone find either of those super rare things (most got sent to the scrapper long ago)

[@sushpants]

Thanks! I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a Nova Twin Cam.

[@jackverna339]

AE92 Sprinter Cielo wasn't in there either ;) Cool liftback version of the AE92s

[@lavafish7660]

@@jackverna339mhm, we got em here as the Prizm and I want one quite badly, unfortunately most examples here in California are gone

[@pentxn156]

and Celicas

[@toyotahashiriya]

That video's killing it! The vibes, the looks, man... something for every 4AGE lover! Thanks for sharing!

[@Theeclipseeee]

Welcome back! Thanks for the video. We are waiting for a video about your AE82 :)

[@JDR1Diecast]

Glad to know your back awesome JDM video love the Japan versions 🎉🔰💯

[@sushpants]

Thanks! This was a pretty big project to get done.

[@kaceyfortune9828]

Really cool seeing so many in one spot. My AE101 FX-GT is about to come off the jack stands and seeing one in the intro makes me want to finish it sooner!

[@errolr4021]

Epic video. From an AE82 fan from South Africa its awesome to see such great 4age powered variants.

[@samandstuff]

So awesome to see people appreciate the 20v! (And 4ages in general) Seems like in New Zealand they’re a dime a dozen and get beat on. I love my 20v blacktop turbo :)

[@eevuk7680]

Yeah, they all been used as paddock bashers. My ae92 had its 20v from a rotting trueno lol

[@gafrers]

Amazing. Thank You for this video. 86 FTW

[@sushpants]

Thank you!

[@renz1013]

I live in a country where people place 4a-ge as sporty engine in stainless steel jeeps. Glad to see these where the original power plant comes from.

[@saqibmustafa1644]

It makes me happy to see couple of AE80/EE80. I own one of these and I feel like that car gets no love in Japan and even international communities.

[@Sick_Boy.]

Really enjoyed video. Subbed Camera isn’t very Shaky (I watch on 📺) so no “motion type of sickness” also appreciated the sub titles and visual effects. 💜

[@hassanae8047]

Wasn't expecting an ae82 GT sedan would show up. It was a bliss to watch, Thanks man.

[@nichvo]

i wish i could being my ae101, the community in japan is just so welcoming

[@sushpants]

I'm sure they would be excited to have you.

[@jackverna339]

Crazy, I think we saw every possible flavour of 4AGE powered Toyota in this video but I couldn't spot one AE9x Sprinter Cielo :( I own an AE93 Seca SX in Australia, it's our version of the Sprinter Cielo, one of the less-loved 4AGE cars due to the wacky looks, it was a fairly competitive car in the 90s in the Australian Super Tourers Championship. Funnily enough, despite us never getting the AE82 FX-GT, Toyota Australia imported a bunch of FX-GTs for racing in the ASTC, and they performed better than the 5 door AE82 twincams we commonly got here.

[@vinnynoxy]

Yeah the secas never really got love. I had a ae92 sx corolla, white. Love it. Was never a fan of the secas but I have seen some done up really nice. They are growing on me lol.

[@jackverna339]

@@vinnynoxy Toyota only offered the SX in White or Red from memory - I've got a Blacktop sitting in the shed for when I can be bothered cobbling it all together, that, some panel beating and an ASTC Colin Bond tribute livery and I'll be happy

[@reneneron2971]

I enjoy your content so much. The beauty of the cars, how clean they are, and how kind and polite you are to all of the individuals at the event.

[@niilomakinen]

[@sushpants]

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

[@PracticalRecycling101]

DUDE!! Thank you sooo much. Absolutely love the video. Love the cars love the engine. Thank you for bringing this to us.

[@badluckant]

The amount of work you put into these videos is super impressive, all of the research you do on each car and the extra commentary. Masterpiece! Love the energy of the participants, and the two tone panda ae86’s 😍

[@JB-sv5pr]

Aloha this was a great vid Love the guy at the coffee stand And the guy with the raiders gear So relaxed and chill japan always amazes me

[@stevegonzales527]

[@ToyRacingJDM]

Thank you! I hope more people come. I was the only person visiting from outside the country.

[@shanejulie-blackdesign9022]

AE110's & AE111's were factory fitted with the 4AGE 20V in some parts of the world, like here in South Africa.

[@snellewilly]

[@MrWillim09]

Thank you!! AMAZING!!

[@Yuki_404]

Damn, coming back with a banger!

[@juangraniello7626]

Thanks a lot for sharing and doing the such a great job. 4age forever I still think that the AE-82 , FX is such fast track car , light very square ( wide) . But , the AE 86 is the in another league , more all around . Great great video

[@sushpants]

The AE 86 has better aftermarket support. The nice thing is some of those parts spill over to the AE-82 FX. Thank you!

[@Jon_98]

AE92's are so underrated. Need more performance parts for that platform

[@roderichall201]

Awesome! 👍

Thanks!

Looks so fun

[@sethwynn6569]

This is what heaven is like!🎉❤🇯🇵😎

[@oscarzt1652]

9:01 sounds like similar engineering ideas to the Ford "REVO knuckle" which was used to greatly reduce torque steer on the Mark 2 Focus RS (300hp inline 5 turbocharged)

[@barrymanon9459]

Amazing 🤩

[@b.r.g1286]

Loved it !

[@danteeightsix9069]

14:00 In 2009, I moved to Japan during my first assignment in the military and had a 7th gen like this one. I had to sell the car because LHD wasn't allowed at the time. That same year afterward, I had heard they changed the rule. I was so dissapointed.

[@johnboy384]

Thanks Alex =)

[@speedacademydave]

What a cool event! And I didn't even hear your pants once. Great job!

[@thatae111guy]

well that was just great!

[@retrophil8241]

I'd love to see an event like that for real. Cheers for the video. Anything happening around Osaka mid May?

[@isaacmartin7590]

Everything heaven 😍

[@mikemikeyee]

That suzuyota engine is NUTS

[@sushpants]

It had me scratching my head. I was like, WTH is that?

[@thenewcraft5582]

That pink hauler lifting up the entire front end instead of a lift bed is crazy to see. At 24:37.

[@celica4age103]

Many thanks for the video, you do a great job as usual. I would have liked to see some Celica (AA63 and AT160) I hope there were some, we don't see them often.

[@sushpants]

There were a couple. I'm going to be posting up a follow up walking around video where you can see all the cars at the event.

[@Rogerjatsu]

Wow very nice video😊

[@sushpants]

Thanks!

[@ADub-Bub]

Wow. Just Wow. Really excited about the more obscure stuff like the Carina, AE82 GT Sedan, Sprinter 5 door, and that 20v wagon! I saw the one AE101 FX GT, but did not a single AE92 FXGT hatch show up? My car must be rare! The unmodified cars were also so cool. Not as much FX/AE82 footage as I would have expected. Are you holding back for another video?

[@sushpants]

I don't think any AE92 FXGTs were there. I have a follow up walking around video I'll be posting up in the next week so you can see every car at the event.

[@jacdeleon111]

Man, Last 82 I saw in 1988. best regards from Germany, great video

[@yuuji_]

1988, really ? I agree that they are rare, but in France i spotted 2 in meetings last year (chika japan & mcm Paris meet (yes the australians)), other than mine. I also see the 1.3 carb at least once per year on the road

[@Carbonarars]

They are Rae and expensive, like the Nissan cherry turbo@@yuuji_

[@yuuji_]

@@Carbonarars the cherry turbo, yeah i agree on that one, it's a unicorn, like the colt turbo

[@supremeclienteleautocare]

What an awesome experience ,What bumper was that on the fx (4:07 mark)that that you helped with the front lip with?

20:00 Iida Akira of Mito Natto Racing? Legendary Le Mans driver and he built the 10 Million yen AE86 Levin powered by TRD 20v 4AGE. His team, Mito Natto Racing is a parody of Mid Night racing team (THE Mid Night Club!) and gain popularity thru of his AE 86 Levin build and races with some comedy videos 😅

[@sushpants]

The very same. He was totally cool in person.
