Actually keiichi's drift videos got me into the ae86, not initial d. although im still new to the scene I like the car for what it is, a cheap, lightweight rwd fast performer. I'm not into 'cult' cars
OMG!!!!! I guess this is why the younger generation think that the popularity of the AE86 is totally because of Initial D(no offence Mickey) and the wanky theory of takumi tax!
Check the Guiness book of records, most number of victories in a racing class from starts......100%
International Group A winner
When I bought my AE86 15 years ago, Group A and international circuit racing (n2, clubman cup) is what influenced me.....Initial D....wtf...hadn't even heard of it!!
AE86 the REAL lightweight rwd Toyota...NOT the pretender

thats what group A was all about. the fact you could buy the actual cars they raced in. they werent some generic body with pop rivited panels onto it like the v8 supercars are now.
Yeah dude, no offence at all was meant. Just I'm an old fart and been into 86's for along time, Back when I first got mine so many people would ask what it was, they had never heard of a Levin! I'm amazed that so many people don't know the history of the 86 before Initial D!
If I stop being super lazy I'll scan some JDM group A pics I have......sweet Rays 86
Come on man, get the scanner out
