Looking for Takumi's AE86

Since I live in Canada they dont call it the AE86 and I dont know the full name. I know its a Toyota Corolla but can some one give me the exact North American name for the Takumi's AE86? Thanks.

did they release it in Canada? I never actually saw a Trueno GT Apex in The US but i saw plenty of the Levins

They never released it in England and no one will import one for me :o

Thats a 1987 Toyota Corolla GTS, I know the AE86 is a 1986 model, but we have 1986 Corolla GTS's to. But is that the same as an AE86?

yeha man closest as we ever got to a GT Apex is the Corrola GTS

Thought so. I guess Im going Corolla GTS hunting next weekend.

good luck man i know their numbers are pretty slim and if the person has any knowledge about the car he will probably not let it go for cheap i know i have only seen one in my life and i wouldnt mind having one thats why i am lookin for one too

The numbers are pretty small around here (B.C. and Alberta). But I was looking on autotrader.com, and I found a couple GTS in California for about $1500-$3000 US. So next time I go down there I might have to pick one up and drive it back. Good luck to you to.

post a link dude

Here a red GTS.

so true.........i think i know someone who is selling his 86 coupe......Larry is the name.... but i suggest you taking of the backseat once u buy it....:rolleyes: .....trust me!

Is a 1987 Corolla GTS just as good as a 1986 with its driting capabilities? Cause I just found one for sale for $3200 Canadian.

$3200 is a bit pricey........................ my friend who drives one says u can get one for around $1500...... and drifting..what form of drifting do u mean by that?....just sliding around on a rainy day or actually pulling of some D1 shit

Let me rephrase that, is it just as good/the same as the 86 Corolla GTS or should I keep looking for a 86?

oh come on...

First, yes they did release it in Canada and the united states. In NA it was called the Corolla GTS. The 86 in the name AE86 has nothing to do with the year it was made, it's the chassis code. The GTS was made from 1984-87 with a few minor differences between model years. In fact, the true GTS doesn't even say AE86, instead it should be stamped with a AE88, if it says 86 it's an SR5 which is NOT an AE85, it's somewhere in between.

Secondly, the levin was never released in NA, corollas were only available with flip up lights. Also, theres no such thing as a GTS sedan, it's available in hatch and coupe form. The coupe is the better coice as it had slightly better structural strength.

And finally, don't buy this car because you think takumi and initial d are cool, or even realistic. The GTS is a great car, but it's slow as hell, very old, and will require maintenance on a regular basis. I'm not trying to be condesending but would just like to give a little forewarning. For more information check out:

www.club4ag.com

Thanks for all the info. I dont want to get one because of Initial D, Ive never seen it before, I just think there cooling look and sound like fun to drive. One reason I wanted to get the GTS is bacause I need a car that wont cost me $2000+ to insure.

Oh and nice signature, Michael's the man.

Hey, no problem :)

and don't mind the initial d comments, I've just had some bad experiences with some people who I played the Initial D arcade game with at my local arcade lately. Theres nothing wrong with liking Initial D, hell I have the every episode/OAV/Movie/whatever on VCD. It's not being able to distinguish between the cartoon and reality that's the problem :)

Just browse around club4ag, they'll be able to help you with anything you need. Moto and everyone else over there are quite knowledgable and friendly.

Since I dont wont have a lot money to maintain it and you say its slow as hell, what car would you suggest I get that I can get for arounf $5000 and wont be that expensive to insure? Thanks for all the help and that site also.

s13-15 + sr20

hatch backs only exsisted 1985 to 1987just a lil fact for you guys out there

Never spend more then $2,000 USD on an old corolla, its just a waste of money.

$5000 won't get you a fast car unless you plan on spending a bit of money to maintain the car. You need to be realistic, a sports car that is only worth $5000 is not gonna be in great shape.
You can get good econmy car for $5000 or less. Maintenence costs will be minimal if you get a realiable car. Insurance will be cheap as well. You will have a car that will get you around and you'll be able to save money in order to buy a racer, project, or whatever car as a second car. Trust me, when all you have is a performance car that you race around in, sooner or later it will break and you will be stuck without a car.

Katsuhiro Ueo drove his Toyota Corolla GTS AE86 to win last years D1 Grand Prix, so I wouldn't call the car a pos. If you can get one for 3k(maybe see if you can talk the guy down some), you could use the remainder of the money to rebuild the power train(the most expensive part in upkeep of an older car) if you did it yourself. Otherwise you'd probably only get an engine rebuild done by somebody else for 2k. You aren't going to find much that can do anything for 5k without work, so I say go for it. I've been looking around to see if I can find one for cheap to overhaul. Would love to be able to find a 86 righty, but the chances of that are far and few between.

It is a piece of shit. Ueo's AE86 is highlu modified...
and he didnt win, Imamura did, he only won d1gp USA because stupid ass NOB went too fast. B16 Civic will smoke a 4AGE :)

I really don't know what bug crawled up your ass, but you might want to see about having a surgeon remove it. You might want look into learning how to read a calendar too, because that post isn't a year old, it's not even 7 months old. You might want to do your homework too, because his car wasn't that heavily modified. So instead of flaming me like a wonderful example of a f***tard, you should think about what your typing before you type it.

rather have a trueno/corrola rather than a civic. if anything the civic is a pos. Taniguchi is a tupid ass? :screwy:

for 5k you can always pick up an S13 or maybe an S14. Then youve got supras, old 3 series, Z31, mr2, sentra se-r (older ver.), 1G DSM's, and more i cant think of.

nothing wickedly fast but enough to have some fun with and take down your avg. ricer

What do you think the average 0-60 is on a 86?

this is just a shot in the dark but above 7 sec's at least

Weighing in at a whopping 2100 lbs(less than a stock civic mind you) and having 130 hp, it was probably pretty nimble stock, so the 180hp that Ueo dropped in prolly made run real quick and that 240 hp monster that Bunta dropped in it in Initial D would make it run like hell.

Hey, try again
Anything over 3 months old should be left alone, and you should start a NEW thread.

Oooh, great cover for your stupidity. Whether or not I read the rules still doesn't make up for the fact that you can't count.

Great! You found my mistake!

Robotech sucks :smile:

I'm done wasting time talking to you jeffy, grow up you don't own anything but an attitude. No offense meant drift240 thought you were jumping on jeffy's bandwagon. I just posted my opinion and he started jumping down my throat and telling me how full of shit I was instead of posting his differing opinion in an intelligent manner.

then why don't you both just stop posting on this thread? lol

year doesn't matter all the same ae86 is the chasis code doesn't reflect year. It was made from 84-87 for north america. Takumi's was a Zenki 83-85 in Japan/84-85 in North America late models 86-87 are the same and have minor cosmetic changes to the bumpers (look better to me) and the rear end has more splines. when you go to look at one look for T283 on the bottom corner of the little silver motor plate on the top of the fire wall this means it has a LSD from the factory. If it says T282 it has a open differential, not as fun to drift with.
