I don't know if there are any out there but Im a huge fan of the 86s and would like to know if anyone has a pic of a levin or a trueno maybe a SS ver would do too .Thanks

Welcome to GTPlanet.

Please use the Search function before posting, you'll discover a lot of your questions have already been answered about the boards.

If you're asking about 86's in GT4 then check out the E3 2004 Demo pics thread at the top of this forum. If you mean in real life, then have a look here.
 
As much as I want to say "Please use a search," I first want to welcome you to GTPlanet. I'm John of Houston, Texas. The world-recognized long-poster and most recent scratching post of hater-itis. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure it will be in GT4, that is without even typing up a thread like this. If it's been in several others, expect no less for GT4. Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital have you covered!

Meanwhile, if this thread gets locked up and sent to the grave of "gone forever" threads, don't be surprised. I appreciate your love and respect of the AE86, but on GTPlanet, stuff like this gets to be old. Plus, not a lot of good responses will be made. Okay? So take it easy and have fun on GTPlanet!
 
Here ya go.

It's still a Corolla. I bet you'll get tons of girls riding around in that car! :dunce: !

If you had at least one half of a brain, you would know that it wasn't the car, but the driver (referring to Initial D, where 90% of the fan base comes from for this car).
 
did a search on this already...

but are there going to be any AE86 coupes!?!?!?
 
im sorry, no-one one from polyphony digital is available at this time, please leave your name and number so we can hunt you down for asking stupid questions

I think that the Trueno looks cool and i've never seen Initial D. I am aware of it and am also aware that an AE86 is in the program, but so what. You have to ask yourself why it's there to start with. If it's such a crap car, why are they making it into a legend?

Then the answer is no. It's not stupid. But even PD wouldn't waste time/effort on the coupes.

But you never know I guess.

As for you Viper... Obviously you don't buy an AE86 if you're after the ladies. I would never do such a thing! Shame on all who do.
 
well i think they SHOULD include the coupes. if they can include the 180SX (hatchback), the S13 coupe, AND the sil-eighty, i don't see why they can make the Trueno/Levin hatchbacks and not include the AE86 Trueno/Levin coupes... ya know?
those coupes are "tight" and i hope they include them in the game...

It's not really a legend, it's a small lightweight RWD car with a fairly advanced (for it's time) engine. Oh and it had an LSD as standard. Think of it as the Japanese Equivalent of the old MKII Ford escorts. By the way, most of the AE86 Chassis corrolas are in Ireland. If you want to buy something simmilar to an AE86, it's probably best to settle for a MKI (AW11) MR-2, which has the same engine unit (I'm pretty sure). That's going to be my next car anyway.
 
will have hatchi-roku, if lucky even hatchi-go, FC, FD, LanEvos, 32, 33, 34, S12, S13, S14, S15, probably sil-80 and what not... c'mon this is japanese racing game - nothing like EA, Codemasters, Bizarre Creations etc. would do :sly:
 
@ RaceIdiot

:D Cool i didn't realise that they had AE86-esque cars so close to the UK. Cheers 👍

Why on earth would you want the AE85? It's got a crapper engine (80bhp sohc) it handles worse and it has no LSD.

I wouldn't mind seeing the old S12 Silvia though, I still see a few o those around. It seems the missed out the S13 in the UK but we got the 180SX.

why not? Kazunori-sama decided to make it a car history game... with high probability that Ferrari and Porsche won't make it - i'd rather see an 85 than 10 different versions of Subaru Legacy - wasn't 7 of them already shown at E3?
 
Well if they include it, i'm not driving it. Actually wasn't there a car that looked like the AE86 except it was FF, I think it was the replacement model for it.
 
oh noes! :sick:
i counted wrong - there were actually 8 Subaru Legacy's shown at E3 :mad:
look at in that E3 pics thread :irked:
now that's what i call fu(ked up - i mean i can take all those tiny-ass cars, especially Midget, but having both 2.0l and 3.0l versions of Subaru Legacy is just overkill :banghead:
 
Last time I checked a wagon and a sedan don't handle the same. Having 4 of each is not that bad.

The only problem I see with all the Legacy's is that the '03 spec B cars don't seem very different from the normal versions.

Of course not! Shame, shame, shame, dRfT n00bs!
 
yeah how we all love those Legacy and Impreza wagons because they handle differently than normal versions :trouble:
 
As I've said, we have another GTPlanet newcomer. And I mean, maybe I treat newcomers a little different than others, but I think if Luggnuts likes the AE86, then I have no problem with that. If you ask me, since I've seen one entire DVD of the first episodes of "Initial D," I've kind of gotten into the car. I wouldn't consider a "hachi-roku" ("eight-six") a choice for a daily driver, but it is still a car obviously loved and respected in its cinematic depictions. I think the same goes for the General Lee (a Dodge Charger), Eleanor (Shelby Mustang GT500), Car 54 (VW Beetle), and any others you may think of. I'm not trying to say that the "fanboys" of "Initial D" and "Fast and Furious" have no place posting stuff about cars they like. If you ask me, I think like this. Well, everyone gets into cars in some kind of way. To me, it stared with the Camaro Z28 of the mid-late 1990s, then racing with Need for Speed 1 SE. This was 1998 and 1999 respectively for me. I thought the Camaro was this exotic, but it was cheaply priced from what I seen in car ads in the Houston Chronicle (cheap plug, I know). But since then, I've grown respect for cars and slowly learned the art of the hobby.

Luggnuts, guaranteed, you WILL have an eight-six in your GT4 Garage at GT4's release! If you're fortunate, you'll even get the Shigeno Version (now called a Tuning Car). You can start with that car if it's inexpensive, then work your way up to the bigger and better rides and have 6, even 7-figure money balances. I did it, and so can you. But anyhow, you got into cars differently, and your fascination with cars probably started with "Initial D." That's no problem. But as I've said, PD has you covered. Fear not, AE86 lover... Oh, and hey. You can OWN people with your AE86 as you can photograph it with a USB printer. So Luggnuts, are you yet JACKED about GT4? I still am. That is all. Take care and Godspeed!

:lol: That's just out right hilarious.

The Trueno is a plain-Jane car. These 'fanboys' see it on Initial D and think it's a good car. The 'fanboys' fail to see that it wasn't the Trueno, but the driver that was good all along. Even the characters in the story thought it was some sort of super tuned-out car that must have been pushing major horsepower. I think the story subliminally hints on this 'poser racer' (rice boy). None of them realize that the driver of the Trueno was extremely good at drifting and adapting to new situations and the Trueno had nothing to do with it. None of these 'fanboys' realize it either.

I say keep on loving your DOHC Corolla. I guarantee these poser racers won't last 5 seconds online with GT4.
 
Heck, I started GT4 with (of all cars, the Chrysler PT Cruiser. I wanted the power, even with the American weight. I say if GT gives you enough money to start out with, instead of an AE86, go for a 1980s or early 1990s Supra. Sure, it's heavier, but it's more powerful. And if you're into the drifting craze, the Supra probably isn't too bad to drift with. And in GT3, the Mazda RX-7 Type RS(?) is a great drifter. I mean, try to practice with the Mazda RX-7 in Arcade Mode of GT3. Turn off ASM and TCS and slide all around Tokyo (I prefer you do this in Free Run mode). And if you know the "Initial D" series, you may know one of the Redsuns has a yellow RX-7 from 1993-present. So, if you want something more powerful and want to stay with Japan, why not try the other machines? But if you're trying to shoot for winning the game outright, you'll have to enhance your tactics and be a little more professional. Drifting fans may not like Viper_Zero's comment of "...keep on loving your DOHC Corolla. I guarantee these poser racers won't last 5 seconds online with GT4," but if you're trying to win it all for GT4, you'll have to enhance your tactics and drive more professionally. If Keiichi Tsuchiya can race for the JGTC and create a drifting craze all the while, then so can you (in terms of racing professionally, but drift outside of high-profile races).

Something poser racers, noobs, Initial D fanboys, and your generic wannabe drifter do not understand.

I do hope I didn't give you the impression that I either like "DORIFTAZZZ" or that I am some huge AE86 fan. That simply isn't the case.

The interest is there because it's an underdog. I'm more of an underdog fan.

I was thinking of starting with an AE86 (Corolla Levin) because of this. But now I'm not so sure, I mean... VW Beetle! Fiat 500! So much choice... Guess I'll end up with an old Mazda rotary though, it's tradition.

Besides! You shouldn't always assume it's because of Initial D that someone likes such a car. A few people make that mistake with me and the Lancer Evolution III. Yes it was a dog compared to the later Evos... But it was one of the first (somewhat) fast cars I ever got from the used car section in GT1. Hey I was young... Things stick.

No, I agreed with you.
