Awesome car. 👍You DEFINITELY should buy one and paint it like a racecar, like Herbie The Love Bug. And when will we see more videos with Bud? And is he still around? Please and Thank you.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Hi guys! As a European, I kindly request for the numbers inside metric system too...maybe just in the corner, or hidden...for example the weight of the car, or miles/h, you know... thanks, and all my love to you guys, good luck on the BigTime journey!
As a long time Discount tire employee, I remember when we sponsored Dai. We still have a single wheel from his collection in our stock right now and an old school poster in our break room with him on it. Thanks for this one big time!
I love this format of interviewing the car owners while speaking about their cars. Love how Jerry does his background research and surprises the owners with his knowledge. He’s like the Nardwar of car guys. Quite entertaining!
Watch a lot of youtube, but this is the only channel I actually sit through the ads willingly. Not because of your corny jokes, just because I want to support you blokes as much as possible. Keep on truckin
I really like the format of this content. Background, engineering trivias, and interviews with the owners really make these cars more special (S13, ferrari 360). More contents like this please
Back in 2007 I wanted a Gen 7 celica all my friend had celiacs but I got “stuck” with a lame 1986 corolla hatchback that I fell in love with, discovered initial D shortly after and for the next 10+ years I owned nothing but the ae86 platform. Learned everything I know about cars because of them. Sold my last one a few years ago - the one in my profile pic for $2k thinking I’ll just buy another one, but man that drift tax killed the platform for me. Moved on to a mk5 Supra but still dream of buying another hachi but for the price they’re going for it’s not worth it. But they will always be the greatest cars I have ever drive . Even got to meet Taka Aono back in 2010 and he told me “don’t sell your car” sorry Taka!!
'81 chevette was the funniest car I ever owned, it was a beast in the snow. Front left strut mount was rotted completely and just floated around giving my hood a little nipple. A 2x4 wedged between the firewall and front clip and hole saw for the top of the strut I drove it like that for two years. First car, 16yrs old, hours long road trips, 2x4 keeping me safe. It's not wrong if it works. The alternator involved a rope and a stick too as a tensioner. Favorite car
I think this is the only channel where I've watched every single video since its inception, and I've never been disappointed or bored. Every video always has something interesting in it. What a great channel! Keep it up!
Awesome, back in the 90's in highschool my buddy (big metal head) had a flat black AE86, we stencil rattle canned a huge vampire skull on the hood to make it more metal
Almost got to meet Dai at FD Erie during his last year, but it looked like he was being interviewed and I didn't want to interrupt. For what I have seen, he seems to be one hell of a nice guy. And I loved the Behind the Smoke series.
Small tip fellas. It wouldn’t hurt to add other units of measures in your graphics. I doubt it would be such a big task for your editors and it would go a long way with your international audience
Ride underpowered cars quick is more fun than a powerful car quick is certainly true! This remembers me why older guys like me love the Escort mk1 so much. Even the 1.1 or 1.3 litre were a blast. Skinny 13 inch tires and wet roads in the Netherlands were a perfect combination to have fun. I bet it was the same with these Corollas on slippery mountain roads in Japan.
"There are more grains of sand in the world than AE86s". I thought I misheard, replayed it and then paused the video for 10 mins. Trying to understand, accepted that I am probably never gonna get it and then decided to move on .
It's just the classic joke of "There are more ____ than grains of sand" that is used to refer to something common, he just turned it around for comedic effect. It's not that deep 😂
There's no real market for them anymore though. Even the few fun cars we have now are low volume sellers and only propped up by the other better selling vehicles.
@@no1washerezz They don't make these cars because they look at total profit per car. That is why you have so many auto lots with just cars over 100K currently and auto manufactures are all hurting financially.

The AE86 platform touched so many Toyota cars throughout the 80s and 90s. I have had several mid to late 80s 4wd Tercel Wagons. Many AE86 parts bolt right onto that car, it's kind of crazy. Especially suspension components and a handful of drivetrain components. You really can't overstate how much fun the 80s toyotas are to drive. Their analog setup allows for a crazy amount of feedback from the drivetrain/suspension. You feel everything and you can respond accordingly. They're really some of the most fun cars to drive. The 4wd tercels are unlike anything else I've ever driven or heard of. They are full-time FWD and a 6 speed manual transmission. The kicker is you can pop it into 4wd at any time with a nice lil lever, which also unlocks the 6th gear which is an EL granny gear. This means you can enter corners in FWD, use the e-brake to break your rear loose, then when you hit the corner's apex 4wd is just a lil lever pull away which allows you to power out of the corner with crazy handling/speed. With a lil practice you can also pop it out of 4wd at very fun times. Toyota also used really interesting gearing to get as much power out of these small engines as they could. The 4wd tercels only had ~55 hp from the factory but they drive pretty well. You can get up to freeway speeds pretty easily while getting 35mpg or higher, my best was usually around 45mpg out of a 1985 carbed 1.5L engine. People who have driven the ae86 platform really understand how much fun these cars are in a variety of environments. Absolute legends. If a person has owned an AE86 it will almost always be their favorite car of all time. They're just so much fun.
Love watching the driving portions of these videos for the edits. Jerry starting a question at Skirball and finishing it at the Getty is insider baseball, sure, but super satisfying.
It would be very appreciated if you included stuff in non-imperial units too! I myself don't really know the conversions and sometimes have to pause the video to do maths. Just a small text near the imperial number in kilograms and km/h would be very cool!
People always didn't mention that the 4AGE are pretty bullet proof too. Never had issue with mine, TVIS still works fine almost 30 years later, it just undergo basic maintenance like oil changes etc, and it is non-interference engine (mine is the first version and the engine is fine after the timing belt broke).
Hey guys, great video again, keep it up! I have one issue as a non native english speaker the in-car scenes can sometimes be hard to understand and I noticed this in multiple episodes now. Would there be a way to either improve the sound quality or put on subtitles? Thanks in advance! With love from Hungary
Dai is such a great guy! Super chill and fun to talk to. I met him at the CTMP IMSA this year and we had a good chat. Btw this video format is really nice! Good job guys!
Great detailed video, 15 years ago it was so hard to find an ae86 since all the old men were still driving them or they were hidden away not running, the popularity hadn't hit yet so when I finally found a GTS hatch within a mile of my home I had to make a deal and wow talk about being underwhelmed haha if you didn't hold it at limiter when you dump the clutch you were guaranteed to have a lame time with no tire spin. But once I dropped a ar101 4agze in it on 15lbs of boost things were incredible and so fun!
I daily drive a 2013 Toyota 86. While it's not the AE86, I can really feel it's heritage while driving it. It's such a joy to drive and you're right about driving a slow cars fast. While it's not going to win any red light sprints, I'm constantly smiling in the corners.
Absolutely love this kind of warm hearted interview with such a personal and interesting story. Dai is a great personality and it was so fun seeing him in this video, keep it up fellas!
I still remembered the channel hooligans posted they bought a cheapest AE86, an SR5. Of course it's cheap because it's not an AE86 but an AE85. i commented and tried to correct them but a fanatic fan slam on me that in USA are all AE86 including the SR5 which has the engine of 3AU. It's hard to argue to people but I'm glad to this channel that provide information the CORRECT ONE 😊
Depends on market location car was sold at. North American market never got the weaker ae85 chassis. All were ae86 and Toyota USA vin system used ae86 in vin to identify car as 4ac model, and ae88 as car sold with 4age. Chassis stamps on all north American rwd corollas 1985-1988 got the ae86 stamp. Initial D obv took place in Japan which had a different variants of that model “corolla” to sell locally.
Actually AE86 wasn't popular and sold well, so Toyota made a special edition called "Black Limited" for Trueno to boost sales. This fact also contributed for AE86's popularity in early drift scene. 'Cause we wanna have some fun with our car but don't have much money, y'know.
They sold almost 350,000 (checked and it’s actually 364868) AE86's, it was extremely popular in Japan, just look at any old Japanese videos or magazines and you'll understand how common they were. The black Limited came out at the end of the production run to boost waining sales of the Trueno model in particular, Levin was still popular.
@theholty I guess that 350,000 number came from the grand total of the whole E80 Corolla that also including sedan, hatchback and van. What I saw is, 1.In E80 era, they sold about 36,000 Trueno and 66,000 Levin in Japan. 2.Though I couldn't find the data for Levin, but they sold about 95,000 Trueno and both E90 coupe are described as "staggeringly sold well" or "the most sold generation of Levin/Trueno" at least in Japan.
Oh, and you know why AE86s were popular in Japan back in the day? The used AE86s were dirt cheap and the reason is they were not popular choice of car especially used in general back in the '80s and '90s. My dad described "AE86 was a coupe for poor", and the episodes like "AE86 for 2,000 dollars is VERY pricey" or "I got AE86 from a junkyard for 500 dollars" can be found.
@@ぢょんすみす-t7b nope, according to Toyota’s own data and list of chassis numbers, 364868 AE86s specifically were built. That’s why they were so cheap on the used market, because there were so many of them. I don’t where you’re getting your data from but it’s wrong, my own personal AE86 Trueno is chassis number 101461.
@@theholty Well, I still can't find the data you reffered, maybe something not online kind of phisical archive, but since there're roughly 3.3 million E80 Corolla are made, so, roughly 300,000 something AE86 worldwide, I guess it is, sorry. What I saw are just random Japanese online articles, not a lot to back them up.
YESYESYEYSYEYSYEYS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

I feel like for some context here for how really good 128 hp out of a 1.6L engine was in 1983, here are power figures for the AE86's contemporary sports cars: 1982 Corvette (no 1983 model year) 5.7L V8 200 hp 1983 Ferrari 308 GTSi (Magnum PI car) 3.0L V8 214 hp 1983 Porsche 911SC 3.0L H6 180 hp 1983 Buick Regal T-Type 3.8L V6 180 hp 1983 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 175 hp

"There are more gains of sand in the world than there are AE86s" is such a dumb line but such a cleverly disguised joke
There’s a lot more sand than a lot of other objects too, not just Toyota AE86s. There’s more sand than… oranges, humans, pangolins, etc.

low hp is not necessarily boring
New channel, same boring Donut Media style videos and clicky titles.
Dai seems such a cool dude, absolutely looking forward to more collabs with him! P.S. love the way you edit your videos it's so much fun to watch!
bro that commercial was wild
Hey guys, great video again, keep it up! I have one issue as a non native english speaker the in-car scenes can sometimes be hard to understand and I noticed this in multiple episodes now. Would there be a way to either improve the sound quality or put on subtitles? Thanks in advance! With love from Hungary
I was told there’d be Dino nuggets
Dai would be such an explosive rally driver... that's GOTTA happen even if it's time trials instead of entering a professional class
We need an orange and black "PortHub" AE86 shirt. Get these port addicts their fix
updoot.
Them ports boutta make me act up
Dai is such a great guy! Super chill and fun to talk to. I met him at the CTMP IMSA this year and we had a good chat. Btw this video format is really nice! Good job guys!
4:46 unit length is wildness🤣
Great detailed video, 15 years ago it was so hard to find an ae86 since all the old men were still driving them or they were hidden away not running, the popularity hadn't hit yet so when I finally found a GTS hatch within a mile of my home I had to make a deal and wow talk about being underwhelmed haha if you didn't hold it at limiter when you dump the clutch you were guaranteed to have a lame time with no tire spin. But once I dropped a ar101 4agze in it on 15lbs of boost things were incredible and so fun!
I daily drive a 2013 Toyota 86. While it's not the AE86, I can really feel it's heritage while driving it. It's such a joy to drive and you're right about driving a slow cars fast. While it's not going to win any red light sprints, I'm constantly smiling in the corners.
These driving episodes are Jay Leno's garage vibes. Im all for it!!! Lets go Big Time ❤
Mother effing BIG TIME. LOVE THE MERCH BOYS
Absolutely love this kind of warm hearted interview with such a personal and interesting story. Dai is a great personality and it was so fun seeing him in this video, keep it up fellas!
discord gang ✌
Dai just seems like a genuinely chill and cool dude.
Runnin in the 90s
I still remembered the channel hooligans posted they bought a cheapest AE86, an SR5. Of course it's cheap because it's not an AE86 but an AE85. i commented and tried to correct them but a fanatic fan slam on me that in USA are all AE86 including the SR5 which has the engine of 3AU. It's hard to argue to people but I'm glad to this channel that provide information the CORRECT ONE 😊
Depends on market location car was sold at. North American market never got the weaker ae85 chassis. All were ae86 and Toyota USA vin system used ae86 in vin to identify car as 4ac model, and ae88 as car sold with 4age. Chassis stamps on all north American rwd corollas 1985-1988 got the ae86 stamp. Initial D obv took place in Japan which had a different variants of that model “corolla” to sell locally.
Actually AE86 wasn't popular and sold well, so Toyota made a special edition called "Black Limited" for Trueno to boost sales.
This fact also contributed for AE86's popularity in early drift scene. 'Cause we wanna have some fun with our car but don't have much money, y'know.
They sold almost 350,000 (checked and it’s actually 364868) AE86's, it was extremely popular in Japan, just look at any old Japanese videos or magazines and you'll understand how common they were. The black Limited came out at the end of the production run to boost waining sales of the Trueno model in particular, Levin was still popular.
@theholty I guess that 350,000 number came from the grand total of the whole E80 Corolla that also including sedan, hatchback and van.
What I saw is,
1.In E80 era, they sold about 36,000 Trueno and 66,000 Levin in Japan.
2.Though I couldn't find the data for Levin, but they sold about 95,000 Trueno and both E90 coupe are described as "staggeringly sold well" or "the most sold generation of Levin/Trueno" at least in Japan.
Oh, and you know why AE86s were popular in Japan back in the day? The used AE86s were dirt cheap and the reason is they were not popular choice of car especially used in general back in the '80s and '90s.
My dad described "AE86 was a coupe for poor", and the episodes like "AE86 for 2,000 dollars is VERY pricey" or "I got AE86 from a junkyard for 500 dollars" can be found.
@@ぢょんすみす-t7b nope, according to Toyota’s own data and list of chassis numbers, 364868 AE86s specifically were built. That’s why they were so cheap on the used market, because there were so many of them.
I don’t where you’re getting your data from but it’s wrong, my own personal AE86 Trueno is chassis number 101461.
@@theholty Well, I still can't find the data you reffered, maybe something not online kind of phisical archive, but since there're roughly 3.3 million E80 Corolla are made, so, roughly 300,000 something AE86 worldwide, I guess it is, sorry.
What I saw are just random Japanese online articles, not a lot to back them up.
I love engineering time with Jeremiah.
You ain't a JDM fan if you never lusted over this car before.
what do you mean "before"
Poser 😆
Guess I'm a "fake" fan, then. This car is overrated trash
Forgive me for only lusting over celica All-Trac’s since I was 7 and not the 86 🤣
Too big and heavy
YESYESYEYSYEYSYEYS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Ever since i noticed around 2021 when donut really stopped any other type of video apart from wish and hilow, I've always been wanting to watch b2b or a wheelhouse, or a science garage, or up to speed type video, thank you so much guys I am so happy, I know other people enjoy the carbuilds and all that other jazz, but I just love these types of video, thank you so much,
sincerely,
struggling engineering student.
Crazy how a car can look better than 99% of girls. Love this things
the fuck?
That’s a bit strange buddy…
@@Dubstep04 if u offer me in the moment this Toyota trueno or a instagram model for eternity, im picking the Toyota 💯
@ well that’s fine 😂 an instagram model isn’t much of anything
like in duke of hazard with "stifler" 🤣
Makes my heart happy to see these two killing it! JER & JOBEY 4 PRES
Dai is a legend, behind the smoke was the greatest series to hit UA-cam
I just wanna say that nearly 130 hp from an n/a 1.6 is still really good volumetric efficiency. Especially in the 80's.
Even for todays standards its still pretty good
I first came across dai in an issue of D-Sport magazine back in the day. He has been one of my top 10 drivers ever since.
Script of your videos is top tier guys, I don't think I have ever seen better written content!
Legendary guest host Dai, from the first Formula D in the US. I remember him from Super Street and Import Tuner magazines from back in the day!
I feel like for some context here for how really good 128 hp out of a 1.6L engine was in 1983, here are power figures for the AE86's contemporary sports cars:
1982 Corvette (no 1983 model year) 5.7L V8 200 hp
1983 Ferrari 308 GTSi (Magnum PI car) 3.0L V8 214 hp
1983 Porsche 911SC 3.0L H6 180 hp
1983 Buick Regal T-Type 3.8L V6 180 hp
1983 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 175 hp
These videos are so genuine... love this style.
Loving it. Dai contented speaks to my heart. Any chance for some Dai collab merch?
The AE86 has never been boring. Not even when it was introduced
awesome episode! the script, editing and you guys are amazing. Keep doing cool stuff folks!
I have a ae92 gts and even tho it’s fwd, it’s so fun to drive. Gotta love the 4a-ge
Is that a big time heavy equipment dump truck shirt I see? I don’t usually buy UA-cam merch but as a kid growing up I watched vhs videos on repeat of heavy equipment so that really speaks to me.
Jeremiah’s interviews are giving Nardwar meets Hot Ones vibes but for the automotive world, and I am here for it!
I know absolutely nothing about cars but you guys are so damn informative I'm starting to get an idea of stuff. Just want to thank you and say keep it up . Best car channel on the tubes!
1 year ago i saw my first ever episode of initial D and was like "where have i been all my life?" 1 year later i have 10 shirts, a key chain and an initial D style rug in my room. im a man child. i like cartoons.......
Best car channel on youtube right now
every time i hear an 86, cant help but think how good of a job initial d made with the engine sound
