During my journeys through Japan we found ourselves with at one of Japan's famous racetracks, Fuji Raceway. We were quite lucky we saw some track racing, but just as we thought things couldn't get any better we heard a whole lot of cars drifting up the top of the raceway.
Immediately this Toyota AE86 caught my attention, the Work Equip 01s really give it that 80's look…
…Along with the mismatched SSR Mark 1s on the rear.
The interior is very simple, with a Bride fixed back seat, Nardi steering wheel and a drift button on the handbrake.
The back of the car has been stripped completely back to keep weight to a minimum.
Even the door inserts have been ripped out! At least the window winder was still accessible.
This little Hachi Roku looked like a perfectly balanced drifter out on the track.
I will always have a soft spot for the grunting sound of a 4-AGE.
It was quite a nice scene at the end of the day, this little AE86 drifting whilst the sun was setting over the mountains at Fuji Raceway. Definitely the perfect backdrop.

omg i love ae86's
so great!
last one for desktop i think its looks really cool especially with the mountain in the back round
Last pic as DESKTOP!!
Looks like poo but hey, if it can drift I can repsect it.
this is why seedhunters is the dopest site hands down
love that air filter!!!
@Igorionia : Yet somehow still looks amazing
Simple and gets the job done. I like it.
wow theres literally nothing on that car that isnt absolutely necessary for it too run i bet it's a blast to drive and slide.
Wallpaper please.
i second the last pic as a desktop. this car is perfect
Great pics man. lovely feel to them.
cool little hachi! i want one of those grounding kits... oh and that 360 classic
desktop PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
great example of a common corolla. I'd like to see more features like this.
You sure that Bride is fixed-back? Those bolsters look way too puffy for a bucket seat.
as much fun as that car probably is to drive, i wish the owner would have put a little more thought in to the aesthetics. it's still got plates so it's street driven and not a full on track car. give it a paint job maybe? even just rattle can? maybe? plz?
Let's take off our drifting hats and take a step back. It's just a Corolla rust bucket. Does it really need to be featured? Isn't there always one just like this at every local track day... and countless already featured here before?
theres just something about AE86's i can't ignore, they just seem to be the overall perfect well balanced car and not just for drifting. toyota, i will forever respect you for making these!!
sure, K.C.C., you're pretty much right....
...But most of us would be happy to see countless more.
nice hachi, very nice
does he runs with that bare manifold?
This thing is a heap of junk. Why you guys didnt shoot the red 86 from Tomei instead.?
