- You may have seen the other 86 video, if not check it out. I have had this 86 for a couple years now and have been enjoying driving it around as well as rain shredding. Today we give you a tour of it, take it for a shred at Adam’s with Cody from BC (white Mustang RTR).
I’m thinking about selling it as the Green 86 takes this cars place. If you’re interested, hit me on IG, I’m thinking around $8500 or so.

After the shop tour, I'm now patiently waiting for AE86 tandems with Taylor Ray
Yes!
Came to comment this 🤣
TRay mentioned Chelsea a few times in his recent AE86 videos, sounds like Chelsea found him the set of Webers iirc? I’m sure they’ll make a video
I was literally thinking the same thing when I saw this 😂
Yeah Adam can jump in there to since he got one and Jimmy O as well get em all together !
Drifting an AE86 changed my life, it’s just something you have to do to appreciate. This is proper AE86, 4A power and rough around the edges.
Couldn't agree more!
you can throw anything around and make it look easy! Cant wait to see you and Taylor tandem these things
I’ve been such a fan of old school low horsepower drift cars, especially when I discovered Noriyaro’s channel and all the Japanese guys like Kaicho throwing their little ae86s like maniacs. Always foot to the floor, abusing the clutch and not the ebrake, linking turns using the weight of the car and the momentum. Pretty impossible to find one in Europe though, need to find some alternatives
fellow Alexi fan :)
318is compact > 86s
They do the same with Miata’s that’s honestly why I’m starting in the miata lol it’s a turd I can send to the moon
Nothing like slow car fast…
Yeah I hate to say this, I truly do, but I have a few AE86's and they're hard to find cheap unless you wanna deal with rust.
If you think "Rust is to a minimum" GT-R was a sad story/funny meme, wait till you see an AE86 with copious amounts of metal moth on it.
It gets SO bad on them it's not even funny.
You cut the rocker off and think that's all you have to do, easy enough repair with a metal break, anvil, hammer and welder.
Then the inner sill is about halfway gone too, so you drill the spotwelds out and lightly touch the floorboard inside it with a wirebrush wheel and rusty pieces from where it tied in on floorboard is just spraying your face too.
It gets so bad, to the point you need every metal working tool + repro panels to patch a rusty AE86 back together, we're talking 4-5k in tools alone, MiG welder (get a good one that runs 20 amps & 13 volts or less, Kemppi Minarcmig or Esab Caddy), metal break, hydraulic press (to recreate flanged gussets & inner sills), shrinker/stretcher machine (to recreate wheel arches etc) english wheel, planishing hammer, compressor, sandblaster, etc.
You need a whole garage/workshop for it.
Then there's the quarter panels and back panels, up to 800E a piece, and there's no floorpans, framerails, firewall, chassislegs etc available, all of it has to be done manually, has to be traced out and guesstimated as best as possible on cardboard and drawn on a piece of fresh steel (also expensive) and hand made on the tools you bought, fitted, drill out spotwelds etc, priming, sealing, underside products, if you get really *nal about it you can spend YEARS.
And that's after you disassemble the car and crack the digital clock bezel which you can't get anymore, and getting the rear axle out when the 4-link bolts are rusted to the metal liners inside the bushings (another 300E for new 4-links), etc.
I'm on all the forums, all the FB groups, and I've literally seen THOUSANDS give up before they even had the car disassembled/stripped down to a shell they could actually start repairs on.
Then there's all the little things that break, I already mentioned the bezel, then there's the headlight switch, fuel sender, fuel lines, brake lines, wheel bearings, diff, transmission (which is weak and made for cars with only 50% the power of a stock AE86).
The brake calipers, you can spend 1000E on all 4 corners and that's WHEN they pop up for sale at flos.ie, unless you blow 2k on stupid wilwoods that don't even let you put OEM wheels back on.
If you want a rust free one then you have to pay 20-30k for just a base car that isn't set up for you, and spend another 5-10k on top of that to suit your needs and that's discounting power mods, so much frankenstein'ing on those Corolla's to even get them ballpark'ish.
And did I mention all the ebay scalpers, swindlers and more than a few toxic people in the AE86 community?
So then what do you have? A car that isn't even remotely consistently competitive even in grassroots events, a kid with one hand on the wheel in an E46 with a modern drift-style rear squat suspension is gonna pull away from you through every corner and transition.
If you're a 18-25 year old and wanna have actual FUN, you can get a way better car for 20-30k, S13's are still relatively available, but a cheapo E46 Diesel (which I also own) is currently the best and cheapest base IMO because other than M3's they have the strongest rear axle (188k) and already has the strong diesel transmission.
You can get all the parts from wreckers and typical online euro-parts sites.
From there it's a tried and tested bolt-on recipe, you slap in some TA Technix coilovers for 250E, have a friend modify transmission to accept a 1JZGTE (2-3k), Links ECU (1k) tied into the OEM loom (1k dyno sesh), 316-328 instrument panel for higher rev counter, and RacingDiff's all-bolt-in solution Limited Slip Diff (2-3k) which allows you to keep the whole original drivetrain, most of the suspension, full interior and comfortable to drive, and with a minimum of fuzz.
The BMW Ex6's are the Euro equivalent to the famous JZX's, to the point you can interchange hoods between JZX100 and E36, true cruisers and weekend warriors and they cope well with increase in family, you can still comfortably daily them if you don't go for 1200hp internet delete.
The interior on them is nice and cozy, more than enough head-room, armrest for chill cruising, and you can get flatscreen entertainment on ebay for 80E, the list of mods is endless, accessible and affordable and actually make a difference unlike the AE86 that always seems to lack power no matter how much money you put into it.
The Driftworks Nascar V8 powered AE86 and Dmac's Rotary 86 for a couple examples = relegated to dust collection, for good reason.
With about 280-350hp in an E46 you're not having to forge the engine, you have an 86-like experience retaining enough traction due to not INSANE power, and they're so easy to drift you don't even need aftermarket knuckles because the factory steering lock on them is just STUPID good.
And unlike the 86 which opens its own doors when drifting, minus wheel arches, boot floor & diff crossmember (all easy fixes if you catch it early) the E46 is built like a rust-defying Main Battle Tank, mine was already a beater when I bought it 4-5 years ago, utter abuse on salted roads and every time I put it on my lift to inspect it = Nada rust, zit, zero, none, minimum maintenance, and it just... keeps going.
I welcome any and all new AE86 owner, but I hate saying it, the days of getting a cheap gokart you can just beat on and discard when done is loong gone.
I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you're an experienced wrencher and bodypanel beater, and know exactly what you're getting into.
I think the LZ compound was one of the smartest property buys on UA-cam! It’s basically the Fantasy Factory of drifting!
I miss my AE86s. They were mostly like this. Very simple with mostly suspension mods, and maybe an intake and exhaust. So much fun throwing it around Moroso Motorsports Park and Countyline Dragway.
I would also like to point out the fact how Chelsie is so blunt and honest and says things about other drivers thats true but not in a negative way at all, loving channel dude can't wait to see it grow. P.s. I've been around since county line drifts in Miami 😆
Loving the Corolla content, Chelsea! Motivating me to do more stuff to my 4AGZE swapped KE70 drift car. Keep it up!
It seems like almost all serious AE86 guys have a really nice one and an absolute thrasher. Love this video 🙏🙏
dude i love that your vids are getting more views and your putting more content out lately. super sick. that AE looks so fun
Robert TurnBRO is one of my longest friends in drifting, great dude. Stoked you're enjoying the rolla essence. 🤙
Love low hp cars! Just welded my diff on my e36 compact and I’m practicing to be able to be better at drifting. I’ll be going to drift events when they start up again
I'm so glad uve been making more videos lately Chelsea. Always enjoy watching anything u. N seeing that ae86 being whipped so hard is awesome
that's exactly my s13 in a nutshell, rear quarters were not the best but rust free clean title and $500 with a mint interior. tossed in a stock RB20det as a good "ka" near me was impossible to find and just did all maintenance, suspension and brakes/cooling and it never skipped a beat. Eventually sold that and found a super cheap all stock KA and put that in and did all maintenance and the money made from the RB20det paid for just over a full season of drifting and that KA is still going strong on season 5 lol. Keep it simple 🤘Also I do feel that lower power cars are a different kind of fun and bring a lot of driver excitement as you said.
Great to hear the car's held up for you. Do you ever miss the RB?
@@RearWheelZeal I miss the sounds and revs, but the stock KA is still easy enough to slide around. I run 235 ironmans in the rear with 0 camber and 1/16 toe in which really makes it even more of a momentum car being as gripped us as the power allows but I keep up with 370's and g35's with HR's no issue. Just never left off the gas and only need 2 sets of tires for the rear for a day! lol
The car looks like a blast and I love the pop ups!!
Thanks! This makes me feel content with my 86, might be slow but loads of fun!
I love 70 and 80s toyota. I daily drove my 1984 camry until the oil pump went out. (New engine in the garage) so I completely get the love for these cars!
this cars like inertia and loosing as little speed as possible, thats the difficulty to drive them and at the same time, the reward on driving them hard ;) so nice seeing you guys giving them some love!
Hell yeah so much fun to watch can't wait for another video !!!!!!!
Loved this video. Thanks. can't wait to finish mine now! have the ae92 swap too. fun times haha
86 psi in the tires is the key😆 Also 86 ft-lb on the lug nuts. This is the way.
ive been spreading the gospel of low hp, light, simple and low effort old RWD my whole life. no matter the chassis or country of origin, fun for days. enjoy these cars while they last. the 2000s and the future dont have much to offer.
Love the 86 video keep them coming
Hilarious stuff! It's so fun seeing that little engine ripping!
11:03 that check before the he fully celebrated got me 😆
I remember reading about keichi and the other old drift guys, leaving mostly stock engines so they could drive together and have fun. They would still kit them out for style and what not. but the cars purpose was to be about having fun driving with friends. Of course I'm sure you know this just kinda typing to the comment section really. 86 have def been hard to get for a long time they were hard to find in 2004! People don't realise how few gt-s were actually made here in the usa. Back in the day I was into these cars before I was into S chassis early club4ag days to give a idea haha.
Your channel is such a blessing keep it up you mean the world this community 🙌
Dude, my favorite mod ever was T3 short shifter from my pre-hialeah s13 days. Sweet driver coupe. Good luck with it.
This takes me back to the old days...
Amazing meeting you at Sema 22 hope to meet you again sema 23 much love from Guam/Washington state 🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻
This thing sounds awesome!
Corolla content ❤️
As a Toyota lexus enthusiast love the video. These corollas always been extremely fun in fact there’s a bunch of fun Toyota Corolla models if your know your history
Hey man! I really enjoy your video's!
By the way the toyota ae86 is my favorite car!
yep!....just like kicking around on a Ruckus instead of a Busa..........just fun with no worries and full throttle all the time!
Denofa with the banger vids as always🔥💯
My old ae86 was a zenki gts i used to drift the 181st and sandy warehouses 10-15 years ago for hours foot to the floor all I did was headers and 6puck.clutch loved that car started my love for these to this day
Hell yea
My favorite part with the lower powered cars is that you get to floor it almost the entire time 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Really enjoying the videos
Love the videos keep thm coming😈
you and Taylor need to meet with both 86 and do some shenanigan!
Love the content man.
Leave it to Chelsea to find the sickest layout at the LZ compound. 🤣
bro this shit is like my dream car man this is so good
It’s great to see even the great Chelsea Denofa rocking some cheap Ironmans lol iykyk 😂
All these AE86 builds on UA-cam got me waiting for the big event 🧐
Excellent video, and superb driving, please make some onboard videos with separate camera on pedals😇
Nice buy on the hachi such fun cars because you can manhandle them around the track.
I’m so glad seeing corollas ripped around like this. Hopefully we’ll shred ours at osw in the future
One of my favorite cars I’ve ever drifted is a 1984 300ZX it’s not a lot of power compared to what most people want and it was so much fun
Love watching pros rip mostly stock cars
Best low power car ever
The king of ireland 💪cant beat a twin cam / 86
ZOOMIES!!!!!! love the dog content keep it up!!!! lol
There’s just something about a screaming 4ag 🔥 🤙🏼
the engine sounds good 👍
Reminds me of the old days, 90psi in the tires so I could get that stock KA up on the bank.
That was sick bro
Owning a hachi is definitely on my bucket list
Man, I don't know how to describe it but I always enjoy more lower power drifts (not sure if it has specific term for it, maybe inertia drift or momentum based drift perhaps?), the car looks like they are dancing and sliding around the track is something you cant get from mid to high power drift events. I cant get myself to enjoy Formula Drift anymore not even FD Japan because it is now more about raw power and tire smokes.
Low power cars take full commitment and that's what makes it fun 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I still like to check out FD for top-tier builds, but there's plenty of appeal to the grassroots cars not filling every camera shot with tire smoke. Don't sleep on that motion blur.
Good old Russ popping up in everyone’s videos lately. SHIBBY 🇦🇺
RIP number plate at the end 😆
I gotta come drive with you guys
My favorite channel
Fun vid, just like the car it doesn't have to be complicated to be fun. Hey, thinking about a new edge mustang as a basic beater. Coilovers angle kit and hydro and just leaving the rest alone. Am I delusional or will that hold up without a ton of extra parts? I know the standard answer is usually a 350z but I just can't stand how they sound.
I learned to drift in a black on grey 86 hatch. Paid 1300 back in 03.
Man it would have been mighty educational to do a side by side driving comparison between that aw11 you used to have and the ae86 because it’s the same engine, just different orientation but Corolla dna inside and out for both
This is gonna be good!
"Up until about 10 years ago... "
Me an Irish man : what is this delusion? 🤔😂
What a little ripper!
Best car ever 🤙
This guy gets it 😊
everytime i see your videos i think its wildcat in the thumbnail lol
Rings laaad! Up the 86
Would a UK spec Nissan primera engine fit in a corolla?? I think they're like 130 or 150 hp 2.016v..........sjrely be similar to a beams swap but with a little x factor
more 86 content please
Exitedly awaiting tandems with Taylor Ray
send her on lad🔥
As a UK watcher, it’s sad to see that AE86’s even S chassis’s are bought by people now who chase clout and Instagram likes instead of driving them how they are meant to be driven.
Nothing wrong with keeping cars like this nice, but when they are setup for drifting and are show queens that are never driven,what’s the point? Nice to see this being driven hard, and showing you don’t need 500hp to start drifting!
this is awesome. less is more sometimes
i have a gts hatch thats been sitting since 2001... starts and runs but it needs lot of love. i need to fix it asap lol
zoomies are the best!
the plate at the end lul
we need a POV cam for when you're driving
It's my dream to have that car ugh
TurnBRO is the man!
FYI Jimmy this is your old coupe!
@@richienolag woah! Really! Thats fucking cool!
oh hell yea !
CLTX sticker recently quadrupled in memorabilia value
He's right though. Those tires are bizarrely quiet lmao.
You should invite t ray out to your house for the day and then you both can make videos about your place and then I can have even more videos to watch!!!
You guys are making me miss my corolla so bad … my was panda with side draft carburetors .. I want my car back if any of you guys who watch the video have it I want it back I have the cash for it …
Jamie O'Brien would be proud....Stay Psyched
🤙🤙
That’s what it’s all about!
So fun❤️🔥
A lot of those cars went to the Ireland drift scene
Please, come back to making video dissecting drift, mainly about the new track.
Going from "nobody watches my shit" to absolutely killing the UA-cam game is cool to see! 🤙🏻
10 years ago? I've been an 86 fan since 2004
Your Video is awesome! Slow Car Fast is more fun than driving a Lambo Urus... and cheaper 😄
Followed 💥 I have a 4AGE MR2 MK1 and love it
Eurobeat intensifies!
So cool!
Here's a thought, a spec car drifting series where the spec car has 125hp.
