This Lady Bought Her AE86 Brand New in 1985!

[@dino_dc]

What do you think the AE86 is worth?

[@GT-Z-]

40 50k 🤔

[@rjung_ch]

40k?

[@Glenn056]

Realistic worth: $2000 max

[@Fabulousprofound168]

The way the drivers door is fading differently than the rest of the car makes me think it was repainted? I don’t want to out a dollar figure on it. It’s practically a family heirloom at this point. I hope she can keep it as long as possible, but someone has to do a professional detail on it before the paint deteriorates any further, maybe a good ceramic coat too…

[@WinTuned]

For me priceless. I hope the lady will pass it down to her family.

I met Kazama san last year at his shop. Bought practically every suspension arm for the JZX100. When I showed him the Promode SS aero I had recently purchased, he was super happy to see a street car running his products in America.

[@kanmuridavid]

Always awesome to see original owners sticking with their cars for decades. Shows their love for the platform.

[@radders50]

A good detail and a days worth of dry ice cleaning that AE86 would be a stunning survivor 😎

[@weeeee3468]

what would the dry ice do? i actually have no clue

[@thanatopsis001]

That AE86 is definitely a gem, such a great find and nice to see it still being used as a daily driver, best way to enjoy a car

[@DylanTK]

I have the GR86 as my daily, JZA70 as the weekend fun car; it's an excellent combo IMO Stock seats are great for cruising and spirited driving though, shame they swapped them out lol.

[@rjung_ch]

Thanks Dino! 👍💪✌

[@harshivjotsingh8073]

Granny spec AE86! Never thought I'd see one ever in its stock glory. Got my wife a 72000km 1996 EK1 in Dark amethyst pearl and besides the wheels everything is stock. Low kms granny spec cars have made me come to appreciate stockness. Me and my wife intend to keep the EK stock for as we can! What a find mate :))

[@neilowen9468]

Awesome. Keep it coming Dino! Love the diversity of your work! 🤙

[@Mathcartney]

I always loved more the non-hatchback version of the ae86. It looks way more sleeper and exotic than the hathback. Specially if it is a Levin.

[@travisstamp7428]

I'm with you on that! Levin coupes are 🔥

[@charlieskelhorn]

Wow a one owner notch, the sentimental value to her must be priceless. Hope she passes it down if she can. In English money that would prob fetch 50,000.

[@hyp36rmax]

Great video as always! Seeing an original AE86 with 1st owner is def a story would love to hear.

[@rjung_ch]

Hilarious hearing you get into the GR86, the FK8 has wider seats for sure 🙂

[@dino_dc]

It was agony, I couldn’t drive it any more after about 45 min

[@jgerry2002]

Its fantastic seeing a one owner car that is still daily driven like that. Great video as always.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks 👍

[@marceljeromemendoza6433]

Yo Dino I gotta say that the 1985 Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno that you feature is a nice looking one and it looks like it’s in a time capsule and what’s crazy is that the mileage is only 82,000km and one owner car and another thing I like about the 86 tho is the fact that the white panda color and it’s sticker emblem is also original and speaking of those emblems I wonder if Toyota still make those? I can only imagine if specialty shops like Kamata-san’s tech arts has to say if this car is one of their customer? By the way Dino, nice content once again.

[@mrkhan2983]

amazing built quality of such cars . still holding up preety well !

[@cacahueteasesino]

Great video! That AE86 looks pretty neat. Now my mind will link Kasukabe with Kazama Auto instead of Crayon Shin Chan😂

[@trueno.rj1]

Kazama Auto is legendary ! Love what you do !

[@dino_dc]

Thank you!

[@LouLing-en9bq]

Back in 2011 I had the joy of working on a kazama s15 demo car that sva imports imported in the uk I believe the car is still around in ireland great video

[@johnfrancisvillamor9882]

Wow, a window back thru time that Trueno!

[@vtec73]

would love to visit japan one day.

[@carswithaaron]

I love the Trueno Notches! Amazing OG car!

[@loneric550]

That's a nice looking rig 😍😍

[@gafrers]

Quality as Always. 86 FTW

[@wademiyataki9221]

Too bad she doesn’t want to be on camera. Would love to see a video of her story with the hachi.

[@wabisabi-ken3534]

Love your videos man! I have a question for you. what camera do you use for your vlog style sections of video? I am actually gonna be moving to japan soon and taking my two AE86s with me there and i am thinking about making a vlog for the journey!

[@dino_dc]

Couldn’t be simpler, iPhone 13 Pro Max

[@haroonsarwar]

Great video as always. Spaghetti and Bride seats aren’t a good combination 😅

[@dino_dc]

Big bones 😝

[@thedamion]

When you climbed into the JP spec Bride seat in the GR86, trust me when I say i felt the pain. #widehipgang

[@11C274]

Shout out to the one lady owner.🙌🙌🙌

[@elle8062]

Lucky that you figured out the way to live in Japan

[@economicgamingyt1796]

Sweet

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

I bought new and have the 1st red '99 si Civic delivered into the US, it has Jackson Supercharger #0001 with an unreleased prototype pulley and a wetter on it. That little bit of boost cures all of the soggy mid range problems japanese cars have...

[@NebulaTraveler2956]

Yet again a nice episode - I wondered, while watching, why are drift cars mostly using turbo chargers? Maybe I miss something but compressors are more linear to its responsiveness and therefore easier to handle and to set up each curve right?! Yes they eat some power from the engine but is it just this? Something I am missing - this cant be that easy ortherwise everyone would do it :D

[@__-vb3ht]

Turbo technology has come a long way. modern turbochargers use twin scroll, hybrid, etc. designs that build power more evenly. It also depends on piping, wastegate setup, ECU mapping. Some competition cars use anti-lag for example. If you build a turbocharged engine the right way, the power curve won't be an issue anymore. Also, turbos are more universal, cheaper to manufacture, easier to swap out, etc. For example you can package them easier, fit them wherever there's space in the engine bay. Supercharger kits are usually specific to the engine. And while there are a lot of supercharger kits for American V8s, there aren't a lot for Japanese engines. Probably because these engines came turbocharged from the factory, and it's easier to upgrade the turbocharger than to convert it all to a supercharger setup. Superchargers were always less common in any application, they're just not worth the extra effort. I mean the power curve would be an advantage in any application, production cars, rallye, F1, touring cars. But almost everyone uses a turbo, it's way easier. And then they supplement with an electric hybrid drivetrain, or anti-lag, etc., or set it up right to not need supplements. But really, the peakyness of turbochargers and how hard they are to drive is a prejudice from the past. nowadays the technology is just more dialled in

[@NebulaTraveler2956]

[@kelseyharms1737]

I noticed the indicator stalks are printed in English, and the gauge bezel has km/h in latin script as well. I wonder why you never see Japanese domestic only or jdm versions with english lettering. Especially the badging on the rear of the car too.

[@kelseyharms1737]

[@akumaz78]

As I said 86 is happiness 🥰

[@GT-Z-]

👍

[@KEVENSIN]

Bueno

[@SmallBlogV8]

There appears to be an additional (red) lever inside that 86. Is it an adaptation for not being able to use the pedals? Because that's its own sign of commitment to a car they love.

[@dino_dc]

That’s the brace to hold the steering wheel centred while they do the alignment

[@JB-sv5pr]

I looked up the history of my 86 it was sold on Christmas Day in Hawaii at Servco Toyota in 1984 ahahahhaha😂

[@letpigsfly]

I prefer notch backs to the hatchbacks.

[@philtheoccultist]

the hks turbo on the 86 sounds like sex

[@suchajoe]

Who's the guy in the passenger seat. I notice he's almost always with you filming in most of your other videos.

[@dino_dc]

That would be Alec, he films all the B-roll and puts the videos together. He’s the other half of Dino DC. Not physically 😂

[@fasterthanyou4997]

17:06 for the AE86 if your not trying to get milked to the end of the video

[@dino_dc]

Nobody is milking anything …

[@kevodean]

omg i woulda got her number in case she decides to sell

[@travisstamp7428]

How did she end up getting her alignment there?

[@dino_dc]

First time at Kazama Auto so maybe she just looked it up online 🤷🏻‍♂️
