Corollas suck why would you even put it on a boat unless you intend on pushing it off the side to the bottom of the ocean.

Those cars are the most breaky-downy over hyped piece of **** evar.

For the price they are going for ($2-3k) you could buy some ******* jet skis and get laid.

Initial D prices man I saw a dealer selling a rusty 86 with 216k miles on it for 5k!! **** I rather get a T2 for the same price with sex mods.

then again I have seen some sexy corollas bought at 500$ and turned sexy.

Here is the customs document you must fill out when the car lands on U.S. soil. Read section 1.

Considering you have to pay a buttload for a stock Corolla/AE86 or whatever you want to call it because of the "drift cult" It would not cost that much more to have one imported. I have seen stock ones sell in the 5-6k range. WTF is going on ppl? I could buy a pretty badass FC for that .

Neither is your spelling or grammar. Lay off

Corollas are far overpriced. They're popular because of initial D and the sudden drift craze. Combine their overpriced cost with the cost to get it in decent running condition, and you have a perfectly running TII with some reliability mods.

Any Corolla you're going to get nowadays is going to be either riced out, torn apart, on the verge of breaking down, carb'd, in need of tons of body work, in need of tons of engine work, or in need of tons of electical work. After all this, you have to start modding the **** out of it to have it compete with an FB.

Then, after all the above is completed, someone drifts it into a pole and/or wall.

Did you not know how to properly maintain a turbo rotory? Was the Corolla a dd? Car of choice?

I have a friend who owns an 86 coupe. Thing was slow as *****, handled decent, but my N/A ran circles around it. Then the motor popped out of nowhere. Not to mention the interior falls apart like crazy... too much hassle for the hype.

Silly drifters, hachis are 4 kids.

Honestly, the ONLY reason people even drift Hachi Roku POS are because of the straight axle. That's it. Fast forward 22 years, there are a lot better cars for it. 86 are played out 5-10 years ago.

Both cars IMO have their fair share of ridiculous overpricing. The 86's difficulty in maintenance is also similar to the FC's in many ways. Overall, both cars are really cool and just need to be in the hands of good owners who respect and appreciate them.

Im loving the idea of a rotary powered 86 hatch....**sigh** one day maybe.

1. Could you type out full sentences with correct spelling please?
2. I was drifting in Okinawa before you were probably out of diapers; thanks for the pseudo-history lesson.
3. The AE86 is only popular because of anime here in America. You never knew what it was before then and really; it's not that great.

The RX line is rich in race history, not idiot manga drift boys. Sorry, you fail.

Take a bone stock TII. Now compare it with any one of those Corollas WITH all their mods. It still wouldn't be able to compete with a completely bone stock TII.

A Corolla is a... RWD, 90 something horsepower, grocery-getter. They're N/A, most are carb'd, they're slow, they can't handle without suspension upgrades, you get what you pay for man.

Trying to compare an 86 to a TII is ridiculous. Of course a TII is going to be more expensive, it's better in nearly every aspect.

Take the cost of a Corolla when looked at like it is, a slow, economical, and old car; yes, they are definitely overpriced.

Don't bother with him, he's another drifting fan boi, who rolls around like he's hard because he has Dori-Dori, BOSO, and other drift sticks on his car. I'm sure he'll challenge us to a drift off here shortly.
