One may call it "Smiles per gallon!"

***** Best car term ratio

***** :DDDD

It's definitely between this and the NA MX-5!

I could not agree more. I challenged my friends to watch this without smiling... Resulted in complete failure. ^_^

Paul Mares DEJA VU IVE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE

HIGH UP ON THE STREET

KayyBinn i think they said higher on the street

EXENOX yea i realize that now. Now if youll excuse me im gonma go watch initial d

KayyBinn​ nice i finished it already but nice

Times before drift tax

that car are u kid me i had3 of those and sold them all for 1500

well congrats you got ripped off. lol

Harold Shmanlon also got an escord mk2 whey beter than this shit

''better''

***** Power to weight.. it is a golden ratio that some forget.

I don't think we'll have cars as pure/analog as this anymore unfortunately. With all these regulations its impossible

wobbly sauce For sure man. It's so rare to come across cars like this anymore. as Wade18 says. With crash test safety and emissions the cars are huge and bloated now. The engines don't revv out as much either (electronic control, governed and limited) no more free revving. Everything is very dull. No excitement anymore. :( Back in the 90's you could buy these cars cheap and drive the piss out of them and they'd go forever. 300,000km+ easy. These days your car will go 100k before something happens. Damn shame really.

wobbly sauce Power to weight is not the whole truth. 10% less weight is better than 10% more power, because less weight improves many things not only power to weight ratio.

Benedocta To gain that 10% power.. you normally add weight. There are only a few things out there that make power and save weight.

You and everyone else. :)

***** Nope. Not really ringing my bells that much. I would take most 3 series with a locking diff over this thing ^^ And most 3 series are waaay cheaper too because the AE86 are completely overrated on the market. So you could get a NICE M3 for the price of a clean AE86.

Benedocta and with the money you spend maintaining and building any M3 you could have 2 nice 86's. 3 series are cheap for a reason

anon1561 Yeah thats because the AE86 really is an economy car. Obviosly, a BMW is more expensive to maintain. But if you spend 10k less on a way nicer BMW, you can maintain that thing for ages.

Benedocta It's not that way in NZ - a E30 M3 would be $20,000+ here - an AE86 JDM maybe $12,000. Japanese cars are cheap and easy to find and get parts for & find knowledgable people here, BMW's are expensive and hard to maintain - plus the E30 is really a pretty poorly made car - most of them have serious chassis problems after all these years. A mate of mine had a tidy low k's 320 that he dropped a 1UZ-FE into, wasn't long before the chassis welds started to give up, and pretty much everything inside started coming loose and rattling like crazy - it just couldn't handle being driven hard. He sorted it out and then sold it on and bought a Soarer. M3's might be better built, I don't know.

You should get an ae86 teej

Lol

Because it is not a drift but a powerslide

Big Bennys Collectables but no one wants ek9 type r

Mantas Jurksa Well ek9 is underrated, reputation Fk up by ricers

It's one of the most iconic FWD car

Yeah Civic are probably most iconic fwd as they got HP and is rather low at price when compare to the others

same as eg6

I love it, but lets say it still has loads of potential!

Benedocta For sure, we're still got years of work left to make it as good and finished as it can be :)

EnderWiggin35 Woop woop!

EnderWiggin35 it's a really fun game

Technically yes. Lol he said his friend owed him $50 bucks, but instead he gave him the car. Lmao that's what I'd call a come up!!!!

Just lucky because it's worth way more than that.

Yeah but not in that condition. He says he fixed it up and has been working on it since.

Less than $50 actually cause I think the guy was speaking in terms of the New Zealand dollar...

***** I know but still. Try getting a car remotely similar to that where I live for that amount of money.

Sameee

that's why they're still so expensive lol. everyone wants one

Fucking same

it's mainly because it's a import. most imports are expensive

I'm pretty sure all Initial-D fans want this car

Fuck you Griffith

azonicrider32 yeah they are workin really hard on it, but the physics/modeling engine is really cool. I learned more about what modifications to do engines in 45 minutes of playing that game than in a lifetime of reading car mags.

azonicrider32 Cheers! Lots more cool stuff coming, and I reckon the finished game should be pretty badass :)

I really want to get it cuz it looks like it really appeals to my nerdy car mindset haha. Only thing is I don't know if my cheap laptop will be able to run it.

Needs a semi decent graphics card and at least a low end dual core. Can run on some intel integrated graphics cards, but will look ugly as sin. Official requirements are Processor: Dual Core (Intel Core2 DUO E4500 or equivalent) Ram: 2gb Graphics Card: NVidia 8600GT/ATI Radeon X1650 (Must support Pixel Shader 3.0) Internet Access (Offline play possible) But you can try the demo on lower spec stuff and see if it works.

AutomationGame awesome thanks for the detailed reply!

To be fair though, this isn’t just any old Corolla

***** yeah, it's amazing. So much fun to drive. Especially the way that Jared has this one set up.

TheSmokingTire DRIVE THAT CE LANCER

I have never seen you concentrate so hard Matt! Best video ever!!! My fucking Face hurts!! :) :) :) :)

Good old memories love this AE86

Meko227 He did. It is quick :D

Especially for a 20 odd year old motor with minimal upgrades

+camryt actually bhp is measured at the end of the driveshaft so probably more like 150 at the wheels

Stefan Wojcik The owner is a top bloke. Everyone got a drive of it, the camera crew, me. We were all encouraged to give it a good flogging :)

Awww yisss..

Matt's videos got me looking at that game also, reminds me of the old Sega GT games on Dreamcast where you could "build" a car and could pick FWD, RWD, AWD, inline 4, boxer 4, straight 6, V6, etc etc etc, but way more detailed with more options. I'm good on Early Access but I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.

Eric M with MORE options? are you sure? Alone the options on the engines: You can choose the engine layout, the engine material, bore and stroke. The valvetrain layout, the material of crank, rods and pistons. Compression, cam profile, N/A or turbo. And if you choose turbo you can choose the type of intercooler, compressor and turbine size, max. boost, A/R ratio. Then you can choose fuel and intake system, fuel/air ratio, ignition timing, RPM limit and then you can choose your header type, exhaust diameter, cat and muffler type. The options on your platform and on the trim are nearly as complex, too. You seriously had more options on the sega game? Hard to believe.

Benedocta I think he meant Automation is similar to that game but more detailed. That was my first thought anyways.

David Stewart Seems reasonnable :D

Benedocta that's why i said in Sega GT you could "build" a car, build in quotes, the game came out 15 years ago you can't compare it apples to apples to a brand new game.

Wyatt McGeary :D

sereneturmoil You should see what's still to come :D

Sean Tozer Nah, we never reply to comments.. :P

rotaryfreak3 more than one person in NZ answered that beer was the most important thing in a workshop. That's how we roll.

AutomationGame Haha, nice!

nope
