- How many AE86 's did Toyota produced worldwide? A question we try to answer in this video. This episode started because two of our Truenos were 40 cars between each other on the assembly line in 1987 and now they live in the same shed. We also uncover some rare photos and interviews with the head designers and engineers on the AE86 chassis.

Forget about Donut Media with their; "Everything you need to know, to get up to speed on the AE86". You just gave us literally everything you need to know about the AE86.
I love donut media but true :D
yep this was way better and no random yelling.
@@JostenDooley BUT MORE POWA BABY!!!!
Yeah, this runs rings around DM.
i guess their podcast is super detailed on what they talk about
Few things can make my day like someone reading a Google translation from Japanese to "engrish" in an Irish accent. It's a wonderful time to be alive lol
Hahahahahaha
And the accent is very mild compared to some. "Strong Irish Accent" warnings haha
i wish that the 35 year old crusty corolla was still cheap and reliable
It's cheap if you make good money and it's always been reliable bruh
Go to japan and it's cheap, everything's relative to where u live
Import it. The 86 cost like 2k to 6k.
He even says it’s reliable in the vid kid
@@takcleberry course it is it's a Toyota
I'm gonna be honest. I am 14 so as you'd expect I watch youtube all the time. And I can assure you this is one the of the best videos I've ever seen just down to the in depth details throughout the whole video. Great work keep it up. Love every vid you do
oh boys I've been waiting for the crack
Craic* don't do crack kids
Quite literally a reference point in the history of the AE86
I made a series called I love my 86 a few years ago, I must dig them out for you.
I loved them! You came to our original shed and interviewed a few of the lads
Still watch them to this day 🤙
please dont show it pleaase....... ha ha ha please
Where is the sauce? I need it!
4:56 The Mugen Motul civic!
One of my new favorite videos of all time now.
I adore the 86, and shitboxes in general, it's a dream car of mine, and learning more of this little warrior makes me want one even more. Amazing work!
I’m glad you call the SR5s and GTS’ an AE86, in which they are. The Initial D kids and a few Aussies like to complain that they’re AE85s (which we’re never sold in the USA) and the AE88 (which is just to tell the owner it’s a GTS car) but it’s always nice to see someone so reputable get the information correct.
AE85's were importer in the US I do have a parts car a 1986 GTS Coupe the VIN starts as JTAE85 I seen a few like that one .
Randall A That my friend is a AE86 DX, not a GTS. All USA cars are AE86s, stamped on the firewall. You have a DX SR5, which is a base model SR5.
fun fact: one of the VERY first cars to cross the east/west-border in germany was a (back then) illegal imported corolla gt (because they were only allowed to drive eastern european cars back then), driving from eastern germany to west germany
www.bild.de/regional/leipzig/leipzig-news/wende-ich-war-der-erste-im-westen-63547300.bild.html its german, but still very neat, including a picture of said car
Thats very interesting!
@@02lucy666 hey I was just looking through this article but it seems they removed the picture. Any chance you still have it, or know where I can find it?
@@MrSpikyJD ahh, bummer, unfortunately i did not save that picture :/ maybe eventually it will pop up somewhere again?
@@02lucy666 I hope so! Sounds like a valuable piece of history
I just realised, building the export models in the Aichi prefecture makes sense, as Nagoya has a large port and would make exporting quicker instead of the Shizuoka plant, which is not on the coast line. This video is such a win and I rewatch it from time to time. I remember driving with my AE86 next to its plant in Shizuoka, when I bought it in Japan.
Holy cow, you went DEEP! This is a proper historical documentary. Bravo!
Seriously tho what are the chances of 2 mates on the other side of the world having cars that old built in the same factory in the same 24 hours madness 😲 this was a great watch fair play man.
this was actually my favourite video of recent.
its great watching you work on your car, but seeing you so passionate and excited about this is fantastic.
4AGE was the bomb when it was first released, way ahead of its time.
moto-gte its actually based off the Cosworth BDA
@@KillianOBrien86 thx for saving me the trouble. cheers lad!
I think more then half of US ae86 are current here in Puerto Rico.
My mom's first car was a manual ae86, she didnt have it for long considering my dad got his hands on it on one day she went on a trip and wrapped it around a tree.
from this i worked out my car rolled of the line on the 18th of December 1986 and if production was 24/7 it was 2:20 in the morning and was the 14th car made that day
This video is destined to have at least 1 Million views, GREAT WORK! 30 mins of my life went flying, thats when you know a video is good!
I’m a 45 year old married man with a kid . I’m probably the last guy your UA-cam channel is aimed at , but I love the channel. I was there through the 00s when these cars were everywhere. I had an evo 6 , a 02 Sti Impreza and a 04 sti spec c . God this stuff brings back great memories
No wonder 86s cost so much in Australia, I've only seen 1 in real life and ive never seen it since.
They don't come out much these days. Most are weekend warriors,or track cars now,very few are still daily driven.
I've owned four ADM-spec AE86's over the years myself. There are still plenty around,you just won't see them on a daily basis.
If you're in Perth there is a few of us that get about still. :)
I remember when I was around 11 years old looking for ae86s and found a bone stock one in my town, I think it was 3-5000 dollars (AUD) and now realising I'll probably never see one for that price ever again
many have been bought cheap and imported to Ireland.
The last time I saw an AE86 was two-three years ago. I'm not even sure if It was an actual AE86 because the AE85 look similiar because of the fixed headlights.
I live in Bulgaria and I was in Razgrad with my family just to buy something from the supermarkets. As I was walking down the street I've stumbled upon on that car. It was blue in color, but it was riced out. Big spoiler, big bumpers and tinted windows. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of it.
I think there're around 10 registered AE86's or AE85's in my country. Mostly used for track racing.
I hope this video will become the go to ae86 reference video. I’ve seen so much wrong information and bullshit in general posted over the years. This video is a breath of fresh air.
Best video ever.
I've got car 0101461 from the A52 plant which is an early 1985 3 door GT Apex Trueno in 2T7 panda colours.
I'd love to know how many of those original 360,000 cars are still going and how many are actually road worthy!
A lot of them got crashed in the 90s drift fever and a lot of them are still slive
Stipe Marić yeah, no shit, it’d be good to know the numbers of survivors though.
I might be able to track most of the AE86s in the United States, Puerto Rico, UK and some other countries through VINwiki. There's a lot more roadworthy ones than you may believe.
Wow, the research put into this is amazing! Good job Neil :)
🤯 someone nerding out on AE86es is a rare thing! Well done! 👍🎊🎉
Cheers for the material!
The 4A-GE was basically a Japanese clone of the fabled Cosworth BDA engine from the Ford Escort. Check out the bore and stroke figures.
That's the Japanese way, find something and do it better
The valve sizes are the same also,and the port sizes are very similar as well IIRC. With them both being 1.6L performance engines though,that's to be expected. The laws of physics don't change because they're being written in Japanese instead of English.
Is an SR20 a copy of a 4G63,or the FA20 a copy of both of the others because they all have the same bore and stroke when they're all 2L engines?
Hope this blows up, amazing research thank you Neil
thanks gives me reasonable time frame of when my ae85 was built it's a 1983 chassis 0008713
Thanks for all the knowledge! Really nice change of pace.... Could be a podcast series????
If we had the time this would be cool, it took a lot of effort digging this up, something to think about for the future for sure!
Knew you had posted this vid and had to go back so I could reference my car…. So with you math and digging worked out my ae86 was built in 1985 May 31st in the last hour (roughly) it is a factory white & black 2 tone 2 door Levin GT Apex built in the Tahara plant…. So glad I remembered you did this vid! Cheers lads
Quickest 30 minutes of my life. Such an informative and great video
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Ah yes! Patrick Cyr, Professional AE86 restorer, and famous Canadian drifter! :D So glad he got mentioned!
I own a USDM SR5 Corolla and luckily a lot of the original paperwork came with the car. It's a 1986 model-year vehicle, and was apparently delivered the the Toyota dealership for the original owner in January of '86. This means that it undoubtedly had to be built in late '85. The table from the Russian site supports this, because my AE86's serial number lands in the December numbers for the A-Plant. Cool stuff, thanks for the incredible work you do!
I love it when any channel decides to go into the history of a car.
Fun fact. My uncle was the first person in Ireland to own an AE86. It was Burgundy and he paid €16,000 for it. And sold it three years later for exactly what he bought it for brand new.
€16,000 adjusted for inflation yeah? Surely not £16,000 in period.
@@bobbieeeee Yes, adjusted for inflation. I probably should have clarified that.
awesome!! found out from your vid my 86 was built in the fuji plant and! that it is a genuine gt apex! fantastic video.
This was so good, thank you for taking the time to put this together :)
I'm in the middle of the pre's and saw this just before my French exam."French can wait ,sir.I wanna now more about the ae86"
I think you should atleast make some english subtitles for people who don't good at english, because this is video is gold
we had levins 16v brand new here in new zealand,then we got jdm imports a few years later with levins and turenos in 85 spec and 86 s[pec 16v lsd
Probably the most informative video on the ae86. This was great at bridging the gap from the old forum nerds to the newer youtoob generation.
This vid also gave those fuckers asking arms and legs for our shitboxes more justification other than just being a meme-mobile. Now the secrets really out.
What i heard from a college at work who worked at Toyota in the Netherlands in the 80s is that the Toyota Corolla was assembled in the Dutch Toyota plant but build in Japan i dont know about the ae86 cuz he could not remember witch model Corolla it was but it's a cool story he told me
Yeah they were knock down kits so actually built locally but manufactured in Japan
interesting timing just 2 days ago i was thinking that it would be cool to get an 86 the same age as myself and with your handy production chart i can work it out pretty close to the day.
now i just need more money than any sane person would spend on an old corolla.
it worked out to being vin numbers between 0011137-0011306 and 5014487-5014628 if your interested so thats around 310 cars built on my birthday way back then
Now I understand what you guys ment with Zenki and kouki.
I thought it was a word I didn't know about.
Edit: This was a awesome episode, enjoyed it very much.
Deadly stuff ! Great video !!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! What you've put together condenses a lot of hearsay on forums and I'm sure will serve as a record for future AE86 reference for years to come!
Amazing video, thank you for educating us on these awesome cars! My 86 is a GT version that where sold in Denmark and then imported to Norway and is currently being rebuilt. Can't wait to get it on the road!
Neil you are the man. Thanks for this video.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it
Hey bro, I'm not even a fan of the car, I'm an Aussie Holden fan but bro, what an awsome watch and you've thrown out so much info! Take a bow for such a primo investigation job... we here in New Zealand wernt into them as back in the 60s 70s and 80s, we loved our big Aussie and American cars. Thanks for the mean clip!
a true twin cam historian
The pure unabashed passion displayed in this channel is utterly charming and infectious. Came here for the '86 but stayed for the excellent atmosphere. Best of youtube.
Iroincally in Argentina, only one 86 was sold. It is a Trueno US-Spec SR5 hatch
Kudos! Enjoyed listening to all the information. Very cool that you did so much research and shared it with us!
Glad you enjoyed it man!
I have a five door AE82 with a 4A engine. I am in the process of restoring it. Hard to find info on this line of Corolla. I won't give up on it because even if it's not an 86 it's a part of an important era in car history. I wish I knew you guys so I could pick your brain. I love geeking out on these topics.
One of my fave episodes so far.
I love 86 (hatchback) the one with pop-up headlights it’s my personal favorite. It’s a Legendary Hero car from Initial D that Takumi used.
Trueno
Stipe Marić that’s right.
You’ve put a lot of work in for this one lad . Great video 😎
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND INTEREST.✌
Oh the irish "tree". I love it, i miss it, it's essential irish, to be taught in the first lesson of english in any classroom. Lets count to ten, okay, now let's count to ten in irish!
From memory there were 40 GTV 3 doors imported to Australia. I emailed Toyota Australia about them years ago but they couldn't help as Thiess had the Toyota records from the 1980s, maybe they had something to do with Toyota AMI. People have seen them so they do exist but I've never been able to find any registration information for them.
This video was needed.
Make this go viral
I would love the opportunity to restore a 3 door Levin. The retractable and glass grills are so cool. Red/black 3 door levin on watanabes is probably my favorite look.
Yay! History episode!
Best episode ever
Great job!
Great episode 👌👍😁
Great Video Neil!!
Our Australian-spec AE86 was built in May of '83,and has a frame number of 00000453,so it was made towards the end of the first month of overall AE86/AE85 production at Tahara, A52.
Australian compliance was done in June of 1983 also,so it got shipped over here pretty quickly as well!
Top notch video guys ♡
Solid 86 research! Great video mate!👍🏼
I loved this video man explained a lot too me that I didn’t know and answered a lot of questions
i've always wanted an '86 kouki trueno hatch with all the options and a zenki lip+run free spoiler
all this information was really good, and the commentary the interesting enough to keep me here the whole time. thumbs up!
My AE86 is AE86-5001630.. Super early production, I estimate it to be "born" on the 22nd of May in 1983. It's a GT-V JDM sold.
Nice
Thats super cool man, cheers for sharing
Super rad video. Had no idea how many different models there were. One day I’ll be able to afford another one.
Just started watching last week, addictive viewing, I'm learning loads in particular this one. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Top quality video. So nice to have all of this information in one place. Thanks Neil. :-)
Cheers man! Could have broke this up but decided to chuck it all into the one episode.
my brain has literally just melted and fallen out my mouth. congrats haha probably one of the best videos ive seen in a long time. fair play man that must have been some shovel to dig up all that info
My brain started to melt whilst trying to make this but it worked out in the end
Mine was one of the 4508 made in March of 87. Very cool to find out!
Increadable amount of work putting this together
Great number crunching there , lovely bit of history very entertaining 👏
awesome episode! was really interesting
2 weeks well spent I say
I'll be waiting for your take on this but with e7 panel vans 😂🤘
Ha ha well I’m actually an 86 tragic fan boi at heart ...
I’m building the van to drift because I can’t bring my self to smash up an 86
@@secondstage4272 😂 I'd love nothing more than a 86, hopefully one day I'll get my hands on one 🤞
I really really enjoyed this video. Very informative and to me, it makes sense.
I've done a dip in that rabbit hole. But man... You really dove deep in there! Learnt a lot of new stuff today! Tanks!
Glad you enjoyed it man!
yee BC represent!
Respect the work you put in!
Good work!
10/10!
I'm in the USA. Used to own an '85 GTS notch-back, red/black. Sadly, it was involved in an accident (I was not driving) that totaled the car. It's now in a salvage yard somewhere.
Loved this, always wanted clarification on some stuff, crazy how barely any got put into some countries, in 2016 i went to the usual parking lot to see cars park up for the Cambrain Rally in Llandudno and behold, an AE85 Levin was hiding in the corner, i looked for the driver and asked if i could have a picture in the driving seat, it was a dream come true, i loved seeing it still rallying, he said he's had it since he bought it, they're such an amazing car! I think i have some pictures lying around, i went last week to the 2020 one and sadly it wasn't there, would love to have one of these cars, don't care what spec, they're truly amazing to drive
Savage episode bro loved some info in there
More couldve been imported to Canada as we adopted Japanese cars more than the US at the time.
recessEH might explain why I encountered so many in Canada
@@juiceboxforyou possibly going to look at buying a SR5 this week / next week that popped up on craigslist here in Van since I moved here from Toronto
Yeah I also agree as a Canadian if I were to guess this is a conservative estimate for the Canadian market in this video
Really enjoyed this episode vary interesting boggled my mind trying to keep up with all them numbers you did great work.. My car is UK 1986 so she most be made in the second factory you mention.. Thanks for the history check.. I hav liked them since early 90s seen tham in rallys and tipping around town.. 👍👍👍
Bless you for making such a video 🙏
you just gave us the complete information of hachi-roku
goodjob and i really like it
Super interesting video! Turns out my EP70 boxy starlet was made in the tahara plant too if I got that right 👌 same for my EP91!
One of my favorite episodes to date. I’ve found a new sense of pride in my 80s turd. Love my 1987 Corolla GTS AE86-0248997
Lucky...
Im 87 gts hatchback #00279322
this was so sick
This was absolutely ace man. Appreciate all your hard work and passion.
also this is probably some of my favourite content you guys have done.
I bought a AE86 1985 GT-S coupe in red drove from Lancaster P.A to Columbus Ohio paid all of $1,200 back in 2001 THE GOOD OLD DAYS wish I still it. They sell for crazy money now and now I want one it’s gonna cost a bit more today💪💪
I'm 13 right now and i hope one day i can get an ae86 trueno.
It truly is a fun car i think i'll never have the money to get one.
(
I can’t stop watching this video,
I’ve seen it an unhealthy amount
Of times now.
Great info on one of the most iconic cars to come out of Japan and one of my favourite episodes so far
