[robokill]

Ok here is some info for all the new peepz with the term

"AE86" "hachi roku""

The AE86 is a

Toyota Corolla model build from late 1983 to mid 1987 it has difrent names in difrent parts of the world

from its origin Japan its called.

Corolla Levin and Sprinter Treuno

Levin and trueno are thunder and lightning (if i am not mistaking)

The names are till common in japan.

The rest of the world will mostly see the car markt as "toyota corolla".

The Corolla Sprinter know as the "TE71" is the predicessor of the AE86 they have similiar contruction as most parts from driveline engine etc fit both cars like its own.

The TE71 and AE86 are both RWD and are also the last corolla rwd line.
(excluding MR2, Supra, Celica)

Now we keep seeing 2 letters and 2 numbers WTF is it,

AE stand for its type in this case Corolla (also seen on newer models)
86 is the digit number which keeps him unique to its brothers (newer FWD corolla's)

AE86 is just the number and type of the car and nothing more, it tells you you drive a toyota corolla rwd build from 1983-1987.

Now the term "hachi roku" is easier to explain check up with JAP dictionary and you'll see it just means = 86
hachi = 8 roku = 6

There are 3 difrent names for the car

Levin
Trueno
Corolla GT
