They were fairly common here in NZ(& presumably Australia) too, as most of our cars came from Japan(mostly used). A basic 90s Celica is pretty cheap here now, quite a few are very basic though(some local kids had one as a cheap car), the sportier models are worth a lot more. There seems to be about 35 for sale at the moment on the most common website, aging from 1979 to 2004, one is a rally car :) There's 100's of skylines for sale, but mostly newer. About 40 from the 90s, but quite expensive on average. Perhaps an example of how relatively common these types of cars were - in the late 90s a fellow polytechnic student(I guess he was about 19), who normally cycled in, unexpectedly turned up one day with an MR2 he'd just bought(probably about a 1990 model).

Idk if anything over 850 is comfortably streetable. It’s usually a *phat* turbo with lag for days proceeded by a swift karate kick to the tail end. And yes there are setups that give a more linear response, but those come with diminishing returns.. And may or may not require an engineering degree.

This qualifies as Jeremy Clarkson's second greatest video.

[@dirtyd9219]

In the over 20 years between now and when this was filmed and the thousands of cars Clarkson has driven since, I wonder if he would still agree the R32 GTR is one of the best cars hes ever driven after all this time.

[@JampackGaming707]

If I’m not mistaken he is quite fond of the Lexus LFA

[@lomfmur]

When the R35 came out he did mention how great all three previous ones were (32, 33 and 34) and he is very fond of the LFA, mainly for its sound but also refinement

[@steveanderson5605]

What I love about drifting is the skill. A AE86 can go up against a Viper and win. I’ve also seen it in Formula D. True underdogs can win.

[@onionman500_m8]

Dude for that happening you will need a lot of luck or going full kamikaze and not killing yourself and that 86 will probably need some mo powah cus 150hp and 950 kg and crazy skill won't let you win that easy 240hp and 900kg a bit more easy and 350hp and 900kg at that point it will be fair in some way

@@Flowboat i know what i meant to say was in like a street race like the ones shown in the video and probably a fd vs 86 vs viper will be cool to see Also the fd is almost a perfect machine if the stock position of the fuel filter wasn't close to the lsd but in the engine bay

I guess the KZbin algorithm is finally working as intended and showing up good content in the recommendations (at last).

0:42 Is that an AE86 coupe???

[@captainautismo5452]

Yuup

[@captainautismo5452]

@Amri Jahon how do you know?

[@RetroAvi8or]

@Amri Jahon Well not all coupes are 85s.

[@tinuthomas531]

@Amri Jahon the body style does not determine whether or not the car has the 4AGE or not. All 4 body styles can be an "AE86", whether it be the Levin hatch, Levin coupe, Sprinter Trueno hatch, or Sprinter Trueno coupe. But you are kind of correct. The Sprinter Truenos usually had nicer paint jobs like two tone paint, looks like this one was blue and had unpainted bumpers. Most likely does not have a 4AGE, so yes this is an 85

[@joan_adria]

@Amri Jahon ae86 can be hatchbacks and coupes...
