This video of a boro Carina AA63 at Nikko Circuit by ae86lan kind of shocked me! It wasn't the state of the car that shocked me, but the gigantic turbo conversion that amazed me!

The bigport 4A-GE with TVIS has been converted with a custom turbo manifold. The exhaust feed probably did not fit anymore and the exhaust was rerouted to the roof of the car. Also note the blowoff-valve with a whistle ducktaped to it! Damn, now that's boro!

Almost a year ago I posted the 1984 USDM Corolla GT-S AE86 commercial where it is being displayed as the reborn Corolla. Reich976 posted this time another 1985 USDM Corolla GT-S AE86 commercial, but this time the zenki GT-S takes on unexpectedly some dragracers!

What's he got in there?
A new 16 valve engine, known as the TC16
Never heard of the TC16, but I think the 4AGE only was known as the TC16 in the Toyota marketing department. ;)

A Carina AA63 drifting on Ebisu Circuit West Course followed by two zenki Levin AE86s, I couldn't have thought of a better lineup myself!

Carina drifting in the nineties
The picture was taken in the mid nineties when drifting was taking a huge ramp-up and Initial D just skyrocketed in sales. The AE86 was suddenly a very popular car and the Carina was a very undervalued car. Lucky enough someone got the sanity to buy this AA63 and drift the hell out of it!

Small detail: the last AE86 was powered by a 7A-GZE. Pretty radical mod back in those days! ;)

One of the most powerful NA 4AGE engines ever: the Formula Atlantic 4AGE engine!

Peek-a-boo: a 240HP 4AGE!
A lot of people confuse this engine with the 20 valve silvertop used in the infamous panda Trueno in some wellknown anime series: it is not the same engine! The Formula Atlantic has been a 16 valve throughout its 15 year career in these series while the 20 valve TRD silvertop was used in the Japanese counterpart used in Group A.

JRotaro posted this very funny video of a guy doing air drifts in the Nikko Circuit paddock/bar. Especially the AE86 (NA 4AGE) is spot on and the JZZ30 is simply hilarious! What else can you expect from a group of drifters who solely breath through their 4AGEs! :D

I suspect it is 86jnosakuretu48te who did this marvelous performance. ;)

jrotaro did post a few vids of the AE86 air drifts before:
