more pix!!!!!!!!

Anyone know where i can get one of these in the states....the real one and the model?

The car is a 83-87 (I think) Corolla in America and Trueno in Japan.. The chassis code is AE86 and the model kit is sold everywhere, in different forms, of course.. But there is a licensed Drift King Tsuchiya Levin availible, which is a different front end... but check out MechaHawaii (http://www.mechahawaii.com) for the model by Fujimi and tell him that Miles sent you ... PEAS!!!!!

Thanx iwannnadrift your help is sure appreciated.. however thats not the exact car im loking for. I want to build the AE86 that was in the InitialD saga.

O I C, well that car is slang termed as a "PANDA" paintjob.. the white body with black trim(bumpers, sides and stuff) and the Initial D car had yellow rectangle foglight too.. hehe and the Tofu shop graphics on the side.. PEas!!!! ANd www.mechahawaii.com sells the Initial D cars, peas!!!http://www.mechahawaii.com/files/gallery/Calvin/Ctrueno7.jpg Heres a model that a local guy did, its modified, but its the same concept and the box is behind the car.. latershttp://www.mechahawaii.com/files/TOYOTALEXUS/TAKUMIAE86.jpg heres another Trueno Initial D kit availible at Mechahawaii, I know I love to plug that place.. PEas!!!

Thats the one i want....but i guess i have to wait till the sagas (in english) hit the states to get all the lil details like i dont know if the hood was carbon or not and plenty other little things like the TRD wing and rims.

Cool project. Love the car.

Looks really nice. I can't wait to see it completed.

They make an AE86 Levin without the side skirts but that's about it I think.


Nice project, I've got one sitting on my shelf ready to build sometime, too. I bought the Initial D kit which comes with the Takumi & Natsuki resin figures, hopefully it will turn out alright :)

whoa sum crazy stuff on here im new to this forum i am also from team mechahawaii check us out if you havent seen the site already www.mechahawaii.com laters rOy

Yeah, the Initial D/Zenki Trueno and the Zenki Levin don't have side skirts. Only the Kouki Truenos and Levins have side skirts.


Good job on the car so far, I'm working on Dori Dori's N2 Levin right now~

I cant tell if the ae86 has skirts or not.

EDIT: I just found the levin that I posted above on HLJ and it looks like this. Unless the skirt is optional to put on? Any help is GREATLY appreciated

So your saying the kit does'nt have side skirts? I dont get what you said.

The 2 you posted, the first one is an AE85, not AE86:eek:
It doesn't have side skirts.

The second one does not have side skirts either.

Do you have a picture of the box of the AE86 without skirts?

These ones I'm sure doesn't have side skirts

Hey does anyone know what year the AE86 from Initial D is, and how much this car would sell for if i could find one?

The "AE85" kit comes from Fujimi, they don't give you another body, just the same that comes with the rest of the Levins. But now, buy any of the Truenos, regardless of the box art, there's a risk that you won't get the Kouki one (happened to me with the Toghe series car.) since it's just a re-boxed Initial D one with different decals. FYI, the body shape for the coupe levins compared to the 3-Door, is different, the head light assembly is a different size, trust me I tried.

Anyways, cool Trueno here! Hope it comes out the way you want it too! And I see you got the Kouki model, unlike me even though the instructions and box art show that one.

I don't think it was ever clarified exactly what year it is.. Any AE86 would do... and since Initial D and drifting is so mainstream now.... expect to pay about $5,000 for a Trueno now... sorry but its true.. If you find one for a lot cheaper its probably over used and abused.. pEAS!!!

Or the SR-5 model, which is a SOHC (4A-C), while the GT-S is the DOHC (4A-GE :bigthumb:). Remember, don't buy the car just because you saw a cartoon, buy it because you love it to death! Intial D makes the car something it's not.......... unless you're that skilled.

i ono i mean that anime could drive you to get better at handling the hachi drifting or whatever you choose to do with it so i mean it depends on the way you look at it

I for one, know that a stock GT-s, SR-5, Hachi, or whogivesaflyingfu*k (whatever peeps call it nowadays) WILL NOT beat an R32, sure it may not understeer as harshly, but it will never win.. unless Tsuchiya drives the trueno and a blind man pilots the R32, at any rate.. that show is for fun, I mean, if I tried to drift practice by not spilling a cu of water, it would get me only one skill... knowing how to get really wet, really fast.. If you think that buying an 86 will make you drift and not even have to try to have an expression(as that kid in Initial D does) you're wrong.. I know you don't but any ricer who wants to Panda paint a SR5 and race a Silvia, do one thing for me... Tell ur Mom I said "sup" when you go crying to her for losing..!!!!!:biggrin2: :biggrin2: as for you, 454SS, good luck and PEas!!!!

Cool!! The spoiler seems to be coming out really well, but you're making the one that is "molded" on to the rear hatch right?

Man do I love seeing other AE86 progress builds!

can't wait to see more progress.

Im in the process of making the "Tofu Shop" AE86 Trueno. Nice car and nice kit. Can't wait to complete it

Can't wait to see this thing done. I have always really liked these cars.

yeah, I'm making the mold-on one I guess...(I didn't know there's another version, LOL) but I think Keiichi's Trueno is using the mold-on type =P

The wing you're making is actually the replacement of the whole rear hatch:

You see the differance, right? :cool:

yeah thx my man... now I know!

Wow, it's been a long while since I've touched my car, lol.
Anyway, I've picked up on it again recently and here's some progress pix.
Btw, I didn't lower the car but I think it's already sitting in a nice ride height already. :naughty:

Looking good! Where's you get your Kouki model?

Hey does anyone know what year the AE86 from Initial D is, and how much this car would sell for if i could find one?

It's a 1983...they didn't sell this body style in the US until '84

sry, I'm not sure what is Kouki?
do u mean the series of this model?

There were two types of body styles released, zenki and kouki

Oh, I think I get what u mean... Zenki is early version and Kouki is late version rite?
I live in Vancouver and I got it from a local hobbyshop in Richmond. The box is the Drift King (Touge) series AE86 Trueno.

Damn thats a cool car :smokin:

sweeet. what rims are those?

im just curious how u guys gonna paint the bumpers, and those smalle details that are black, like the window and door handles and stuff.. im kinda new in modeling and some guys are awesome...

thanks

Rims are the Aoshima S-parts Ewing I EX.

are they similar to fujimi inch up bbs wheels?

not sure :frown:

i built one of those fujimi kits recently, but on mine there is the the 'early type' bumper without corner lights. why is yours different? also it didnt come with side skirts.
