The ae86 is cool looking, but if you just want the fun experience, without the nutty price tag, take a look at the e70 corolla, they are effectively the same underneath, and almost every ae86 part swaps directly over plus if you get one with a 3tc you can make some stupid turbo power, anywho great vid as always and keep up the great work

Me and my friends pooled our money together in 2018 or so and bought the rattiest, nastiest corrola gts available in our area. It had to have the twin cam engine or be swapped to twin cam at the minimum. We chucked a battery in and it fired right up and ran smooth. We drained the fuel tank, put fresh fluids and filters, fresh fuel, and the cheapest hardest tires we could find at the local Walmart, and hit the road to a drift spot 6 hours away. On the drive we learned why it was parked, it had a blown head gasket. "F*** it, let's limp it to autozone and buy some k-seal". Pour in the k-seal and the engine smooths out almost immediately, and the bubbling in the coolant stopped shortly after. We then beat that car mercilessly from Friday night to Sunday night, and then drove it back home to then sell it for every penny we had into it and nothing more, while also disclosing the head gasket was made from cheese now. I would happily pay these overinflated prices for one of the more tidy and sorted ones available, even though it will still be shitboxish. Best weekend of my life
This is precisely the current crop of buyers. Dudes that had these or dreamed of hachiroku dreams as kiids and now willing to throw quarterlife crisis money at a shitbox.
@@mikemikeyee Yeah biggest mistake you can make is buying an 86, for the money you spend it just isn't good enough vs many other cars out there, you get a just as ratty S13 for same or less, and with a bit of work you have 2x the power and way better suspension, stronger rear axle, etc.
Bought my first SR5 hatchbackfor $600 bucks in 2004. Sold it in 2007 for 1500 cuz I needed rent money. I purchased my second Corolla which was a 86 GTS 5 spd Hatch, in 2011 for 6500. She sits in my garage and is clean as fuk, power everything with electric sun roof. I hardly drive it, maybe 400 miles a year? Iv been offered 25k for it, I wouldn’t even pay that much for it lol!
I love the ae86 . They are very rare here in the US . My dad used to own like 3 of these back in PR he bought them for around 2k each . Sold them long long time ago . I can’t believe this car cost a little fortune nowdays
Will say the price's is not all the anime's fault from it being Keiichi Tsuchiya main car and from it being the car that started drifting as a sport this car was bound to get to the price point it has hit but the anime has made it a lot worse.
Yeah it def has a lot more to do than just “anime car”, it’s status was always great for many reasons but ironically the reason why it was so loved is because of how cheap and inexpensive it was. Now there’s almost no reason to buy it besides it’s legacy.
I mostly mess around with the generation before the ae86, the te72 corollas, and even they are starting to get stupid in pricing. Picked up a fairly clean and complete "82 sedan in 2017-18 for $1,200 and it only needed a fuel pump and a battery. Now you can't find rollers for less than that. Sooo glad I had my dad tell me as a kid that he wished he had just stashed atleast one of the '65 mustangs he had as a 20+ year old. Because of that I've kept nearly every 80's car I've owned.
I’ve been in the ae86 game for 25 years, and I can definitively agree they aren’t worth the hype money. Back when I was paying sub $1000 for them it was a fantastic sporty little economy car.
I remember thinking these cars were cool when I started reading Initial D like. 4 years ago? And searching for them only to find trash cans after trash cans Also, my hype for it died when I realized. It's probably a 100~ hp corolla. Sure it looks cool, BUT ITS JUST A COROLLA
I mean even in initial D the 86 was just seen as the shitbox underdog, the only hype around them was the high performance/cost ratio because you could basically get them for free in Japan. These days you can just do better.
@@bonbaunThat’s literally the thing. Idk why “fans” have worshipped the car as some sort of hyper-sexy beast when the show literally states from like the first episode that it’s cheap, underpowered, old, and not attractive. Like the whole point of the show is that you can have a “shit” ride but nonetheless be able to love your car and outperform others. Now, not to say most fans don’t understand that, they do, it’s just that the group of people who don’t (or people who’ve never watched the show and only heard about it ???) are the reason why they’re so damn expensive now.
@vik I don't see it getting "affordable" more than maybe 20k usd as that is what a worth while AE86 goes for. If the EV concepts that Toyota showed will go into mass production that is your best/only real shot
@@touku3631 I don’t think the EV/Hydrogen things gonna happen honestly… and, to be frank, it’s insane how inaccessible they’re becoming, considering how
Can't believe 86s were going 5k-10k for a clean slate at one point. The AE92s are next in line, lucky they've held off the weeaboos and drift tax thanks to it being FWD, but who knows how long it'll take before the TikTok & Facebook users figure out what an autocross or track is.
For your guy's entertainment, I looked at the car 12:26 and it was a total rusted out shit box. There was a massive rust hole I could stick 4 fingers in near the vin on the windshield (so the firewall is gone) and the rear pockets of the car were gone. Also when he showed it "running" to me, he could unplug two spark plugs and it sounded the same. So it was obviously running on 2 cylinders. The front of the car was hit or something in the subframe, was rusty asf in the engine bay, was rotted out at the bottom of all of the doors, and had rust appearing at the bottom of the pockets. The worst part is I drove 5 hours one way to look at this POS with cash in hand since he lied about the condition of it and said it was a "rust free" car that only needed minor work. On and he clearly bought it from pull-a-part due to the glue from the stickers still being on the rear quarters.
In 2007 I was offered a roller for $500 but I got cucked out of it by an unnamed Formula D driver who I will not name with an 86 who slept on it for over a year. He ended up getting the car, parting it out and crushing the chassis. I will never forgive him for his actions.
"If it didnt say Corolla it would be $500 at a pick and pull" "Thumbs down, this is dumb and you're dumb if you want to buy this" haha. that got me good.
i talked to the guy with the 86 from Ofallon he mostly was looking for trades not a sale and the motor was low mile and it had zero rust car was clean af and ran great if i had the extra 2k i would've snagged it.
Assuming no mechanical issues, that drift build isn’t a crazy bad price. All that custom welding doesn’t come cheap. Now, if it’s on the verge of blowing…no.
The anime tax 🤣 funny thing is that I really want one of these cars too but not because of the anime, I've never watched initial D. What happened is that I was introduced to the existence of this car by all the hype that the anime generated for it and instantly fell in love with it simply due to its design. I've always loved the boxier designs of vehicles from the 70s and 80s and I really like the look of hatchbacks and fast backs in particular. The ae86 corolla is like the splitting imagine of the kind of car I like so I've wanted one desperately ever since I discovered them. I would be fine settling for something akin to a crx as well though, I just want my 80s hot hatch. 😩 I wouldn't do all the stupid modifications I see people butcher their cars with all the time though. No gutting, no stupid wide body kits, no shitty livery, no neutering slamming, and definitely none of that God awful looking camber BS. Just keeping it mint with that nice white/black two tone paint job you always see them in is all I need. 👌🏻
@@HansBelphegor I actually was looking on market place for an ae86 and almost fell off my chair when I saw a dude wanted 20k australian for a rolling shell. anime makes people do some scary shit besides trying learn japanese off of naruto
This series is making me realize how much I actively dislike a good bit of these cars, even though I was fanboying over these less than 3 years ago. I'd rather have a Fiero than an 86 TBH. Does that make me a psychopath?
Like, my brains registers a Fiero is a worse car in every way, but I'd rather hang out with Fiero guys (Gen Xer autists and actual touge racers) than AE86 guys (Gen Z weebs and wannabe touge racers)
@@yeeterskeeter6565 nah you wanna know who the real touge racers are? people in shitboxes just racing it out on the mountain pass. check out ridge chaser's channel. touge cars these days is just whatever car you can get your hands on, fwd, rwd, awd, manual, auto, cvt or not, it doesn't matter. if it has 4 wheels and runs and drives, it can touge
If you think these prices are bad, wait til you see Ireland 😅 the 86 capital of the world. A restored shell recently sold near me for £30,000 which is $36500.... for a shell
Back in 2015 I was looking for a fun car, my final candidates were a $1500 E30 318i that need brakes, a $2000 Miata that needed nothing, and a $4000 AE86 that didn't run, and It was at that point I realized these cars would never be affordable again...
This week I searched for nissan s15 and was astonished about the prices. Though sad that my simple WRX isn't this much than I could change cars 😅 But now I have a car where I know what was repaired and done to. I look way too much from the money side.
i’ve been loving the content you guys have been making for a long while now, keep it up! i’ve been wondering, what’s the song used during the bottle opener/elfbar subaru sticker ad break?
Anime tax? Sure, the anime made the car more popular but it would have still been desirable and the supply was never high. Even without initial d the ae86 would still be popular and known through the drift world, creating more potential buyers than are cars available.
See, Im not convinced that these old majestic cars are ever worth the value, Yeah we all love them at heart, but for what they were, not what they have become, same can be said for the supra mk4 and similar that have been on the casting couch for so many years that the stains on the car are thicker than the many resprays one has had, its just so backwards that people wish to spend the money on the old instead of creating a life for the new, pick a modern econobox and then see where it takes you, abuse it and it will likely put up with it, doesnt cost a fortune to upkeep, treat it to some light mods, and then you will feel quite proud of it, thats how you make memories with a car.
I will say this about the good pin thing. If you have a fiberglass or carbon hood, you have the clear to pin it down seeing as how your hood latch is held on with resin. Other than that, don’t pin a metal hood.
hot take for the Anime BAT 86: Buyer got blinded by the tofu lettering. All they probably saw was "anime car ive always wanted" and didnt nick pick small details that could have saved them. As stated, they paid 26k because of a TV show but they also def got scammed by the seller and BAT for not disclosing the issues with the car. In the end, bro got jebaited and now has to clean up someone elses mess. F in the chat. The 13 falling pipe salute was a nice touch. o7
For the price you can pay for these you can get either a faster car as a base for a track car, a better car or 2 actual clunkers that are probably faster.
VIN numbers are not what you'd use for identification, its the model number, otherwise, you might as well call an SR5 an ae86 because it has ae86 on the VIN, despite it having worse specs and a carbureted engine, would you really consider that as an 86? compared to the GTS which despite having AE88 on the VIN has fuel injected 4-AGE, and it has AE86 on its MODEL number, (btw JDM plates have no VIN).
@@Awsomeisimo it makes 115 HP due to the MAF sensor installed because of emissions regulations, it still has the same 4-AGE engine with the same chassis number, the model number specifies it's an AE86, you would not call an sr5 an 86 would you, despite it having "ae86" written in the vin its a 4A-C carbed engine making it more comparable to an 85, only the JDM version is RHD, AE88 is not a real model, its just a VIN number, if you want to see the actual chassis name of the car, look at the model number, not the VIN, the model number of the GTS says that its an 86.
@@someguy9133 "otherwise, you might as well call an SR5 an ae86 because it has ae86 on the VIN, despite it having worse specs and a carbureted engine, would you really consider that as an 86?" Yes. Because in America the Sr5 *is* an ae86. Ae86 refers to the chassis. Both Sr5 and GTS models in the US use the ae86 chassis.
@@Awsomeisimo "an AE88 has a steering wheel on the left side and makes 115 hp An AE86 has right hand drive and makes 130hp" I know this is 7 months old now at this point, but: The us corolla GTS is also an ae86, it is not an "Ae88". Like someone mentioned before, ae88 is simply the "vin" plate, but despite what you may have seen on regular car reviews, the "vin" is not what these go by. Ae86 refers to the *chassis* identification of the vehicle. In the US both the SR5, and GTS trims, use the ae86 chassis.
Sheet cars all around are more expensive let alone car parts you guys don’t understand how hard it is to find original parts for there cars you can’t cry about the price these cars are still out there you just gotta be patient I’ve had owned 4 two hatches and two coupes . Now if you plan on buying one you can still find decent ones (not a show room car) you just gotta look and ask the right people.
Bought a nice ass condition one just making very small rust spots if at all and I only paid $4,800, but it’s missing a good bit of hardware everywhere and I really just wanted a good frame to work on slowly
The reason why they’re expensive now is because they’re cheap cars. Built cheaply, not meant to exist almost 40 years later. Most of them rusted too bad and were scrapped. Not many of them are left

@@yeeterskeeter6565 nah you wanna know who the real touge racers are? people in shitboxes just racing it out on the mountain pass. check out ridge chaser's channel. touge cars these days is just whatever car you can get your hands on, fwd, rwd, awd, manual, auto, cvt or not, it doesn't matter. if it has 4 wheels and runs and drives, it can touge
If you think these prices are bad, wait til you see Ireland 😅 the 86 capital of the world.
A restored shell recently sold near me for £30,000 which is $36500.... for a shell
Back in 2015 I was looking for a fun car, my final candidates were a $1500 E30 318i that need brakes, a $2000 Miata that needed nothing, and a $4000 AE86 that didn't run, and It was at that point I realized these cars would never be affordable again...
2000$ Miata? Looks like an absolute bargain now
As someone who dosent own an AE86 or watch anime, this is truly a car.
"I don't watch subs, dude." CCF Confirmed illiterate
Just got one last week for $3000, and I drove it 3 hours home without needing to fix a thing ❤️ still a shitbox though
the first red/white for 18500 was featured on hoonigans 4 years ago i thought is was a sweet build
On fourth stage now. Yall almost spoiled it! Been watching just for the 22b.
On that note look up the 22b prices on BaT.
I’m a Canadian who paid $8000 USD for a pristine SR5 coupe in 2021. It’ll be my forever car. I can’t even afford another if I sold this one lol.
Wish I had one.
(dude same)
Same.
I can hear Puchii slowly dying inside in real time
if only there where a newer slow 2 door lightweight 4 cylinder toyota that's known for drifting that costs a similar amount
This week I searched for nissan s15 and was astonished about the prices. Though sad that my simple WRX isn't this much than I could change cars 😅
But now I have a car where I know what was repaired and done to. I look way too much from the money side.
My dad had a 1981 Toyota SR 4x4. Hood latch rusted so bad, we needed hood pins on it lol.
Why have an 86 when you could have a gc8 coupe… peak initial D vehicle since it never lost
Don’t forget that one Japanese guy who slide one around
Man, I fucking love you guys. Thanks always for the content!
Appreciate you bruh
i’ve been loving the content you guys have been making for a long while now, keep it up!
i’ve been wondering, what’s the song used during the bottle opener/elfbar subaru sticker ad break?
Thanks! It's from a 70s department store music album: th-cam.com/video/EQlIxbLvTr8/w-d-xo.html
@@CollectorCarFeed thank you so much! ur guys content genuinely is rlly fucking funny, can’t wait to see more :)
who would waste 12 grand for a shit corolla...
call me stupid but I will, as a corolla guy
Anime tax? Sure, the anime made the car more popular but it would have still been desirable and the supply was never high. Even without initial d the ae86 would still be popular and known through the drift world, creating more potential buyers than are cars available.
They are popular in Ireland fro rally
I own both the ae86 hatchback and coupe and I’ll tell you right now holy fuck it’s getting more expensive
Yo no way I bought the red with white pop ups 86 in the beginning of the vid. I payed 10k and am getting body and paint work done to it now
These guys are life savers
the hood latches on the last car could just be because the original latch is old and impossible to find.
Its funny that the SR5's are 100% AE85's but have the chassicodes of AE86's xD Toyota rly trolled the U.S!
See, Im not convinced that these old majestic cars are ever worth the value, Yeah we all love them at heart, but for what they were, not what they have become, same can be said for the supra mk4 and similar that have been on the casting couch for so many years that the stains on the car are thicker than the many resprays one has had, its just so backwards that people wish to spend the money on the old instead of creating a life for the new, pick a modern econobox and then see where it takes you, abuse it and it will likely put up with it, doesnt cost a fortune to upkeep, treat it to some light mods, and then you will feel quite proud of it, thats how you make memories with a car.
I will say this about the good pin thing. If you have a fiberglass or carbon hood, you have the clear to pin it down seeing as how your hood latch is held on with resin. Other than that, don’t pin a metal hood.
i got my ae86 for $400 from my neighbor love the car to death but i wouldnt spend more than 10k on one
Would you sell yours for 10k?
The white one for 8k with with new brakes was a good deal.
hot take for the Anime BAT 86: Buyer got blinded by the tofu lettering. All they probably saw was "anime car ive always wanted" and didnt nick pick small details that could have saved them. As stated, they paid 26k because of a TV show but they also def got scammed by the seller and BAT for not disclosing the issues with the car. In the end, bro got jebaited and now has to clean up someone elses mess. F in the chat.
The 13 falling pipe salute was a nice touch. o7
For the price you can pay for these you can get either a faster car as a base for a track car, a better car or 2 actual clunkers that are probably faster.
car prices are so strange. asking 6.5k for an old beat up carolla, and i got a really nice 2003 BMW for 4k..
Funny I live near Richmond hill I shook my head when I seen that 86 😂
Pretty sure the anime car at 14:20 has the old style hks cam gears that eat belts lol
imagine if you left it stock how valuable it would be, imagine if you restored the chassis with factory parts?
this is like 30 minutes of shitting on these cars and i'm here for it
Love how all of these are AE88
VIN numbers are not what you'd use for identification, its the model number,
otherwise, you might as well call an SR5 an ae86 because it has ae86 on the VIN, despite it having worse specs and a carbureted engine, would you really consider that as an 86? compared to the GTS which despite having AE88 on the VIN has fuel injected 4-AGE, and it has AE86 on its MODEL number, (btw JDM plates have no VIN).
@@someguy9133 an AE88 has a steering wheel on the left side and makes 115 hp
An AE86 has right hand drive and makes 130hp
@@Awsomeisimo it makes 115 HP due to the MAF sensor installed because of emissions regulations, it still has the same 4-AGE engine with the same chassis number, the model number specifies it's an AE86, you would not call an sr5 an 86 would you, despite it having "ae86" written in the vin its a 4A-C carbed engine making it more comparable to an 85, only the JDM version is RHD, AE88 is not a real model, its just a VIN number, if you want to see the actual chassis name of the car, look at the model number, not the VIN, the model number of the GTS says that its an 86.
@@someguy9133 "otherwise, you might as well call an SR5 an ae86 because it has ae86 on the VIN, despite it having worse specs and a carbureted engine, would you really consider that as an 86?"
Yes. Because in America the Sr5 *is* an ae86.
Ae86 refers to the chassis. Both Sr5 and GTS models in the US use the ae86 chassis.
@@Awsomeisimo "an AE88 has a steering wheel on the left side and makes 115 hp

I know this is 7 months old now at this point, but:
The us corolla GTS is also an ae86, it is not an "Ae88". Like someone mentioned before, ae88 is simply the "vin" plate, but despite what you may have seen on regular car reviews, the "vin" is not what these go by. Ae86 refers to the *chassis* identification of the vehicle. In the US both the SR5, and GTS trims, use the ae86 chassis.
There is a notchback shell near me for 2 grand. I've been watching it for months.
Sheet cars all around are more expensive let alone car parts you guys don’t understand how hard it is to find original parts for there cars you can’t cry about the price these cars are still out there you just gotta be patient I’ve had owned 4 two hatches and two coupes . Now if you plan on buying one you can still find decent ones (not a show room car) you just gotta look and ask the right people.
I'd actually take the 8k SR5 and just K20 swap it, keep the K stock and fix up the rust, then just daily it.
I just had a sense of Deja Vu watching this
Thank goodness I paid $0 for mine. Well I paid $1200 for the EJ1, I traded it straight across for the 86.
Over here you can easily get one for around 5k to 10k sometimes 36k. They are not special sr5 single over head cam. GTS dohc
Yep, that sunroof is aftermarket
Bought a nice ass condition one just making very small rust spots if at all and I only paid $4,800, but it’s missing a good bit of hardware everywhere and I really just wanted a good frame to work on slowly
1:37 Yo that ae86 was in an episode of hoonigan
Highly endangered. You guys are RIGHT-just buy a G35 or G37. Have fun? Or keep a museum piece. F that! One life... LIVE
Man the baller from the baller hauler is looking rough
coupe is arguably better than the hatch imo
The reason why they’re expensive now is because they’re cheap cars. Built cheaply, not meant to exist almost 40 years later. Most of them rusted too bad and were scrapped. Not many of them are left
i don't care if it is not Gt- Apex or a Gt- s i still drive the car because i'm tuning it right now so that i could drift On the mountain pass
Cool 👍
Isn't that one at 2 minute mark been on Hoonigan before? I think it has a matching flat bed
crazy all of these are AE85's that people keep calling "86's"
Honestly I still want one, but I probably won’t get one till the hype dies (if ever) lol
I want to install hood pins because my hood currently takes two people to open
small note, the ae86 trueno trim never made it overseas.
No shit. The Corolla GTS is basically the same
the funniest thing is the othe same model is called a lemon
HACHIROKU
I remember buying my old hatch Hachi, in the early 2k for 1300 bucks. Good times, these are basically Z31s, not worth what the owner thinks.
Damn that’s true . With 18k I can build a hellkitty miata
Next can yall do FB Rx7s?
swear i've already watched this or might just be crazy.
U probably watched the livestream
Missed out on one for $3k in 2019
I still hate myself for this
