- Thanks to Patrick Ooi, we got the chance to try out an automatic Toyota GT86 up our favourite mountain.
The road was slightly wet, so we had to 'feel' our way up and down. The drizzle was intermittent too, and the dampness was the same, so we never know what to expect.
The car has seen some mods, including a set of coil - overs and other bits and pieces including a lowered final drive.
I guess it's not really about how fast you can drive this car, but more about how much fun you can have driving it.
So is it better to have an auto or a manual, since I now have driven both?
Watch it to the end to find out! Enjoy, folks, and thanks Patrick!
And he must be the coolest co-driver I have had in a while! Thumbs Up!
How beautiful, the 86 looks like an extension of your leg, dancing around the hill. Absolutely love your driving and the car.
It's always fun seeing Uncle driving my dream car *liked*
The car that you can’t go wrong with either manual or auto
Uncle, please try my 86 track car uncle, but its legal. Have rollcage some sort like that. You can test my setup plus my car can close traction control more confidently.
Cool 6AT! Even has well done rev matching at downshifts. Sounds pretty good too!
This is my dream car, one day i'll achieve my goal and I believe in myself =)
Excellent goal to set!
Me too...hopefull we'll achieve someday
Same. Hoping to get this car for myself next year
*cough* i think you forgot to turn on the drift mode~ Nice auto GT86 btw
Hahaha, I was being a good boy.
Nice final drive touch on the car. The auto performs well....
I have a manual here in Melbourne. Cost as cheap as my moms new Myvi. Awesome to drive on country roads
You are so lucky. Is that the new or used price? Makes me want to buy one and park it in OZ.
YS Khong Driving 2013 Gts stock. Used. Almost same price as the cheapest Corolla. Back is so slippery when wet. Traction control off and just a slight tap on the throttle send the back out at traffic lights.i have to say, I wish i have it in Msia. Here you easily get outgunned by the Mustangs, and LS3 Holdens
@@liquidmakor6793 Well Gt86/Brz till today's generation were designed to be like a plain canvas for driver somehow, time to paint yours a level higher 😁 that FA20 is a tough beast
Wow, i never knew about this amazing road! If i ever have a change to go to Malaysia i wll hopefull give it a try. The roads appears to climb higher and higher... How many meters at the peak? Greetings from Italy!
Hi, the elevation at the Genting Casino is 1,865m. We climb up to about 1,500m. The climb you see is 8.4km one way. This is one of the best and safest roads around as it is one way, double lane traffic most of the way, and allows one to really put a car through its paces. Thanks for watching, and welcome to our channel.
I gotta say with a car with less power like the 86, getting a manual car is half the fun.
Nevertheless, great driving uncle YS!
You are right, manual would be more fun, definitely, but auto is a good compromise if living in the city. Thanks.
terbaek uncle! Awesome!
Yes,anything that is Japanese sounds good.
Clearly you must have heard how a Japanese girl moans, I mean sounds........ 🤣
Hahaha, naughty. I know what videos you watch.
@@YSKhongDriving
Lollll
Keep up the good work.
Love your driving and video,I'm a Singaporean by the way.
I hate automatics but I still liked the video because I’m nice lol.
Hahaha, thanks, keep on being nice. We also have a manual on the same hillclimb, so you have a choice. The manual is a bit faster, but the auto was quite enjoyable too.
Patrick look like Sun Kang of Fast and Furious. Haha.
yea i thought so as well....
Plot twist!
Steady uncle....💪💪💪
The car salesmen should take buyers to this road for a test driving sports cars.
Hahaha, he will suffer from anxiety.
Either the video is edited for uncles breakfast at gohtong jaya everytime or uncles driving is super consistent....
The Mamak is open throughout the day; that's the only constant, hahaha.
I have toyota 86 manual 2012 malaysia local unit ddo u wan to try
Mr.Khong, how do you find driving the GT86? If the car needs to be done in terms of performance (have to be street legal), what would you recommend? Thank you.Your fan from Hyogo, Japan 😉
Hi there! Thank you very much for supporting our channel.
The base car can be very enjoyable even without any modifications. If you are running it in Japan, there are many TRD parts that are street legal, such as stiffer suspension, and other suspension parts available. I believe that many tuning firms can do re-mapping of the engine, and of course you must get a manual.
To improve handling you and up size your tyres and rims.
Having said that, keeping it standard on those narrow tyres allows you to break traction easily: this is a fun car for you to learn drifting.
Great driving!
Looks like the car performs better in downhill than uphill
I got more used to the car.
Mr khong can you explain the details about corner lines procedure and safety driving or not ?
Can, but if you watch enough of my videos you can learn. Or you can enrol in an advanced driving course.
I am thinking of doing a video, but have not got down to it as yet. If you want I can give you a one on one course.
@@YSKhongDriving tnk u bottom of my heart legend i love ur beast riding with safe and sound
Uncle, it sounds like most upshifts drop into the torque dip rpm range? Auto seems not good to maintain rpm for uphill.
Not really, the gear ratios are quite good actually. I didn't feel like there was a huge drop in rpm.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks Uncle for clarifying. Maybe it's the nature of autos as compared to the manual version u drove, manual was more rev happy. Manuals > autos!
5:50 up with mist :)
❤️
This is tuned car not standard car. Must be cost alot than normal slap in turbo. Uncle can you tell us more what did he do with the car? I think he change alot of the internal parts because people will not change gear ratio only without touching the engine. Peace.
I don't have the full details. Not much done to the car. Only final drive ratio is changed, not the gear ratios.
What is the final drive ratio?
uncle try bawak viva saya pulak aka ae86,nak rasa cne uncle bawak
do u prefer this gt 86 with aspirated motor or the mercedes A 250 ? one has good chassis one has good motor which choice ?
The 86 looks way more sporty .
@@YSKhongDriving ok i can guess and mercedes A 250 vs Mazda 3 you drove ?
The car sometimes judders stupidly when you brake at high speed.
I didn't feel it at all, if you are referring to this car.
Uncle , try to test 2017 Proton Perdana 2.4 🤩🤩
Hahaha, don't think that car is available.
yeah. putting coilovers to a one of the best handling stock car. imagine thinking knowing better than toyota/subaru engineers designing a car for best handling. just spend the money to insane grippy tires like pilot sport cup 2 or something like that. way to ruin a car.
Every set up is a compromise based on the design objectives. Going a bit harder will increase the limit a bit for higher speed through the corners.
How beautiful. People over there are very good about moving over. Not like america here, stupid people dont move out of thr fast lane going under speed limit.
Took many years. So sorry to hear it's bad in America. Asians are born more polite.
Can you tell me which one is better? AT/MT? THANKS
Ofc manual lah manual is the best puik auto
AT and MT is better when YS Khong is on it,if you get my drift.
@@darrenling1826 Yes true...86/BRZ is more fun if it's in manual...but I'm also wanted to try automatic because of the paddle shift
@@mrvr6145 😂 I also like paddle shift
@@darrenling1826 😅
First comment 😊
Hello sir I am your subscriber I am using Ford Ranger XLT plus I’m pam tayar in Front 220 kpa and at back 210 kpa is it okay sir?
I think for the Ranger you will need a bit more pressure in the rear or at least equal
12:34 that Kerisa😂
One of our friends, hahaha, wanted a bit of camera time. Not bad driving!
I see..haha
I am sad no tafu nor tafufah being spotted in this video.
But we do not need props to create interest, lol. Click bait, yes, tofu, no. Unfortunately Jennifer wasn't around, hahaha.
Anyway this video would not have been possible without Patrick - it's his car.
@@YSKhongDriving fair enough. If the car is not here the tafu topic will not come up😂
Can the 86 auto drift?
Add a supercharger on the auto and a 5.1 Final
Yes, that would be fun.
Hi, do you mind trying saga flx 1.6 for genting run?
Don't think we can get the car now.
YS Khong Driving I hv the car right now😅
He isn't using auto, he is changing gear manually, paddle shift ?
Paddle shift.
@@YSKhongDriving thats not auto, thats manual ,manual controls,
Rage Your Dream!
