"Hacchikka". It was such a nickname that he received in his homeland, in the country of the rising sun, this small but smart machine, officially referred to as Toyota Corolla Levin AE 86. Actually, Hachiroku is translated and means only "eight six". It was notable for rear-wheel drive, weighing, weighing, rear disc brakes (late versions), 4a-ge (U) engine and, most importantly, with frantic potential. At one time, the Great, without exaggeration, Dori King Kaychi Tsuchia used her for his studies.

Birth of legend

In the automotive market "Eighty Sixth" appeared in 1983. Created it as a model of the fifth generation of Toyota Corolla, which is capable of being a worthy addition model Row. It is worth saying that the engineers turned out in the end even more than it was intended. Fishka, this model was a rear-wheel drive, while all many others were translated into front. The car was rated not only at home in Japan, but also abroad.

For some countries, where the sale of the model was carried out, their special modifications were. So in Australia, the basic hatchback Corolla Levin, which is sold called Toyota Sprinter. In America, these were hatchbacks or Corolla GTS and Corolla Sr5 Corolla with Body Trueno Sprinter. In Europe, the basis was also the GT and SR5 models with the most different options configuration. Even a few strange car names were successful in other countries. The power and maneuverability of cars really resembled "Thunder" with "zipper", and that is the names of their names - Trueno and Levin.

The first thing motorists appreciated the AE86 for affordable price, ease, but at the same time with this and reliability on the road. The car has become a real outstand for those who have already liked to drive through the deserted streets and roads at the time, but did not have enough money to acquire an expensive sports car. So AE86 Trueno and Levin became the ideal for thousands of enthusiast riders.

Design

The car was produced in different bodies (Including three-door hatchback), but it turned the most popular. The machine has a harmonious appearance. The design is characteristic of 80s - chopped forms, square headlights and a minimum of exotic. This is the most simple and affordable car. By the way, some versions had "blind" optics. Bumpers did not paint from the plant, however, often on Toyota Ae86 install fashionable collaps and "luban", making it even more aerodynamic. Wheel arches allow you to fit any wheels. And playing with collapse, you can join the series "Stanovy" machines. Looks like this car on classic discs very effectively.

Dimensions, clearance

The machine has quite compact sizes. The body length is 4.28 meters, width - 1.62 meters, height - 1.33 meters. Small here and clearance - only 14 centimeters. The car swallows the irregularity very hard. Plus, there is a risk to hook their bottom. Therefore, it is recommended to use a car predominantly on an even asphalt.

Characteristics

In his sports nature of "Hacchikina" Sprinter Trueno and Levin received legendary engines 4a series - 16 valve enginescapable of power up to 97 kW, i.e. in 130. horse powerWith such important technical specifications as a large resource, simplicity of transformation and design. Such advantages were far from all cars. In addition, these engines were also pleasantly sounded. So success was quite well deserved.

AE86 was produced in two-door and three-door bodies. The weight of the coupe was 950 kg, and the hatchback - 970 kg. Due to the difference in weight and greater rigidity in motor racing, it has gained popularity of the coupe. And the coupe, and the hatchback was produced in both Corolla Levin versions with rectangular headlights and in the Sprinter Trueno version with the "blind" headlights that could be removed under the hood.

In 1986, the design "Eighty Sixth" was rebooted, after which some changes have undergone the rear optics, design of bumpers, color solutions and interior. And here technical part Almost not touched. The auto conveyed design began to call "Cuoki" ("Kouki"), and the classic - "Znanki" or "Zenki", which means "early". Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno were modifications.

Interior

Salon "Toyota Ae86" - classic 80s. The Japanese love to use velor. It is here everywhere - starting with the rugs, ending with the trim of door cards and the rear shelf. Nevertheless, this material is very wear-resistant. The steering wheel is right. The instrument panel has two main scales - speedometer and tachometer. On versions with automatic transmission also duplicated mode (drive, parking, etc.). The machine is deprived of any comfort - it is a purely ring car. There are no climate controls, electric windows and other "beams". For this and love Drifter "Toyota Ae86". After all, with minimal alterations, it can be turned into a real "crurch".

Equipment

The most popular equipment with Motor 4a was called GT, GT Apex, GTS and GTV. The latter, among other things, had a rigid suspension, a short steering rack and differential lock. By the way, the GT Apex package was painted in two colors, as a rule, in black and white. Therefore, she was given a cute nickname "Corolla Panda".

Such a special machine very soon became a permanent participant in sports competitions. Incredibly good Toyota Trueno 86 was on drifts. All characteristics, all features like rear drive, mechanical box The gears, the optimal ratio of power and mass model, were perfect for a quick ride not only in Japanese mountain serpents, but also on sports highways around the world. AE86 Along with similar models, it became not only a symbol, but also a reason for the emergence and development of such a spectacular sport as drifting.

In addition to drifting, Toyota AE86 raised on new level and the Japanese ring championship. On the basis of this model, there were excellent carbillars. Also, the car behaved perfectly in other competitions for the speed, like when two cars start on a winding road until one of the opponents are ahead of the other.

Dynamics

It would seem, what could be a drift of 103 horses? But she managed to enter the turns side very easily. And all thanks to a small exercise mass. The weight of the car "Toyota Corolla Ae86 Trouen" is 850 kilograms. Therefore, overclocking until hundreds occupied only 8 and a half seconds. And it is in 82 years! The maximum speed was 193 kilometers per hour. Japanese managed to achieve simply unreal speakers. It was the fastest Toyota among all that is in the model range. The car created high competition and German car.

Transmission

Two types of transmissions were installed on Hachairoku. It was a five-speed mechanic or a four-frame automatic machine. The last, by the way, did not really love drifters. After all, this automatic has a low efficiency and later responded to the gas pedal. Some make "Swap" to the mechanics and drive without problems. Although both boxes are quite reliable and do not deliver the problems of the car owner.

Chassis

The front of the car was staffed by MacPherson racks. A four-dimensional independent suspension was installed behind. In front of "Khachiroku" disc ventilated brakes. Behind the classic "drums" stand behind. Although races are immediately finalized brake system and install instead of "drums" discs. Additionally, the machine is equipped with two transverse stability stabilizers. Optionally, the car "Toyota Corolla Ae86" was staffed by self-locking differential. The drive was carried out only on rear axle. For a better hooker, a wide rubber on a low profile is installed here. At the expense of its light mass and proper wrestling, this car confidently enters turns. Even in standard rubber it is impossible to be called a roll. The car is simply created for annular races. The "Toyota" is managed very easily (despite the absence of a hydraulic agent) and very predictable.

The most advanced DriftWorks brainchild is a deafening Toyota Corolla AE86 drift car, built according to the legendary Hachiroku canons.

With the name DriftWorks, the vast majority of tuning fans. The founders of this business are two British partners - Phil Morrison and James Robinson. Their affairs were so successful that in just ten years after the creation of DriftWorks received worldwide recognition.

When Phil saw the racing ASCAR for sale for sale at a very cheap price, he immediately clung to the opportunity that appeared. The ASCAR European Series attempted to copy the NASCAR North American racing style. All new and new series were produced. racing cars, and old leaving secondary market In search of your next refuge.

Phil and many other drifting enthusiasts drew their inspiration from the Japanese manga series "Initial D" and the cult AE86 Trueno. By the time Ascar appeared on the horizon, in the corner of the DRIFTWORKS workshop already stood prepared, but not the original Trueno. So, the question is from the category "What if?" Vital in the air and waited for an hour.

Since DriftWorks had experience with chassis S, for tuning, components were selected both from S14 and with AE86. Something from this had to modify, but the tunches and the transverse beams of the chassis still belong to the Toyota car release of the mid-80s. In the design of the chassis I had to make some changes, on 86 put the front wheels of the CCW 17? 9-inch. Especially to order in Magic Aero made the kevlar expathers of the arches of the wing.

Since this drift car is designed at speeds from 160 km / h and above, and has a super power engine, a 30-year-old car body needed to be seriously strengthened. For this purpose, Phil used elements prepared by Dyno Torque and Nickson Motorsport. The security cell turned out to be very similar to NASCAR. Cobra Seats sports seats added embroidery and corporate orange DRIFTWORKS.

In Dyno Torque, the DriftWorks Nardi Steering Wheel was finalized: "Cunning" Cartek Wireless Control Buttons appeared on it. Filtered fresh air is served as a large hose in the driver's helmet. It saves in those moments when too much smoke is formed. For removal of spent gases, separate exhaust is intended.

Original engine Ascar was very worn, so it was replaced by the manufacturer of 454ci LSX. Two buildings throttle valves Jenvey feed 646 hp power on the rear wheels. The maximum torque reaches 867 nm - this is more than enough to put 1243 kg in a sports car drift. This is the so-called outfit weight, which also includes 28 kg / 28 l of anhydrous Evans refrigerant for DW86.
