I just bought the first inital D on DVD, and well the main car is the 86. I did a search but i only found some japanese websites, or other websites that didnt specify. Well thanks!



Sexy beast!

 

Yep, the Toyota Corolla GTS = The AE86.

Its kinda rare, do a EBay search and there are like 2 on there.

sweet, is there a specific year?

 

Mmm, not sure really. They go from 85-87 from what I see. I think it started in 84 tho...

Oh and if you can, download the fansub version of the anime. Tokyo Pop completely SCREWED over everything in the anime. Everything from changed names (Iketani to COLE!? WTF!) and wrong descriptions of how a rotary engine works. Meh, they screwed up bad.

Oh well, on the plus side, anyone who has the 86 will be able to sell it easily nowadays cause of people who see the anime. I wanted it too till I realized that there are a LOT better drifting machines out there. Sure, the 86 is good but in the anime, they DID give Takumi god mode

Make sure you buy the GTS version...it has the 4AG motor, some GTS's will also have the factory LSD (very rare).

Great car...I owned one that I built for autocrossing.

thanks everyone! Ya on the DVD i have, it has 'regular version' and then souped up version, which has computer graphics and ****. I watched that one, but im going to watch the other one to.

 

how many miles do you think is to much? I now toyotas are good, but a lot of these have like 200k miles!

 

i've seen them as high as $5000. but they are great cars. They're just alittle down on power.

 

im kinda slow on engines still, so wtf is an LSD???

 

Marcio, just put a new engine in there i know my dad's Corolla lasted 270k miles..then something terrible happened to it haha, if that says anything to u. I think it's basically the same engine too..

I want one of these cars too..I saw someone with a turbo one producing over 200 hp but it was 8000 bucks..that's a little too high in my opinion. But good luck searching.

 

LSD = Limited Slip Differential. It's not a part of the engine..it basically limits the slip (as it says) of the tires for more traction.

 

my parents will be happy that i want a toyota, they only drive toyotas. I would rather have one that still in pretty good condition i dont wanna have to buy a new engine for it. Is the stock engine pretty good?

 

oh thanks!

 

so basically im looking for the Toyota Corolla 2 Dr FX-16 GT-S Hatchback. Right?
