Japan is famous for its drift cars. One of these is "Toyota AE86", also referred to as "hachiroku". In fact, "hachiroku" in Japanese means "eight" and "six". For the first time, Toyota Trueno AE86 appeared in 82 and became a true legend of the 80s. It was this car that was popular among circuit and rally racers. The secret of the car's success was its light weight and excellent balance, thanks to which it entered into a controlled skid perfectly. What is a "hachiroku"? Let's take a look.
Design
The car was produced in different bodies (including a three-door hatchback), but the coupe was the most popular. The car has a harmonious appearance. The design is typical for the 80s - chopped shapes, square headlights and a minimum of exotic.
This is the simplest and most affordable car. By the way, some versions had "blind" optics. Bumpersthey were not painted from the factory, however, fashionable body kits and a “lip” are often installed on the Toyota AE86, making it even more aerodynamic. Wheel arches allow you to fit any wheels. And after playing with the collapse, you can join the ranks of "stan" machines. This car looks very impressive on classic wheels.
Dimensions, ground clearance
The machine has a fairly compact size. Body length is 4.28 meters, width - 1.62 meters, height - 1.33 meters. Small here and clearance - only 14 centimeters. The car swallows bumps very hard. Plus, there is a risk of hooking them on the bottom. Therefore, it is recommended to use the car mainly on smooth asph alt.
Interior
Salon "Toyota AE86" - a classic of the 80s. The Japanese love to use velor. It is everywhere here - from rugs, finishing door cards and rear shelf. However, this material is very durable.
The steering wheel is on the right. The instrument panel has two main scales - a speedometer and a tachometer. On versions with automatic transmission, the mode was also duplicated (drive, parking, etc.). The car is devoid of any comfort - it is a pure ring car. There are no climate controls, power windows and other “bells and whistles”. For this, Toyota AE86 drifters love it. Indeed, with minimal alterations, it can be turned into a real “cramp”.
Specifications
Under the hood of the car was the "first racing" engine 4A-GE. This is the simplest engine with one camshaft and a carburetor power system. The working volume of the combustion chamber is 1590 cubic centimeters. The maximum power that this motor gave out was 103 horsepower. Peak torque - 147 Nm. Moreover, it is available from the "top", namely from six thousand revolutions. Peak power is reached at seven thousand. It is worth noting that the "first racing" is easily spinning to the red scale.
Dynamics
It would seem, what can be a drift on 103 horses? But she manages to enter turns sideways very easily. And all thanks to the low curb weight. The weight of the Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno is 850 kilograms.
Therefore, acceleration to hundreds took only 8 and a half seconds. And this is in 82! The maximum speed was 193 kilometers per hour. The Japanese managed to achieve simply unrealistic performance indicators. It was the fastest "Toyota" among all that is in the lineup. The car created high competition for German cars.
Transmission
Two types of transmissions were installed on the "hachiroku". It was a five-speed manual or a four-band automatic. The latter, by the way, was not very fond of drifters. After all, this machine had low efficiency and responded late to the gas pedal.
Some people do "swap" on the mechanics and drive without problems. Although both boxes are quite reliable and do not cause problems for the car owner.
Chassis
The front of the car was equipped with MacPherson struts. At the rear, a four-link independentsuspension. At the front, the Hachiroku has ventilated disc brakes. Behind are the classic "drums". Although the racers immediately finalize the brake system and install disks instead of “drums”. Additionally, the machine is equipped with two anti-roll bars. Optionally, the Toyota Corolla AE86 was equipped with a self-locking differential. The drive was carried out only on the rear axle. For better grip, wide tires are installed here on a low profile.
Due to its light weight and proper weight distribution, this car confidently enters turns. Even on standard rubber, it cannot be called a roll. The car is simply made for circuit racing. The Toyota handles very easily (despite the lack of power steering) and very predictable.
Conclusion
So, we found out what the Toyota Corolla AE86 has technical specifications and design. Despite its age, this machine is still used by novice racers. In fact, this is the most affordable "Japanese" on the rear-wheel drive, in which they have not yet managed to embody all the delights of the technological process - the valve timing system, variable injection geometry, and so on.
