The 1JZ Engine and Turbocharger: A Match Made in Heaven

This car has a fully forged 1JZ engine making 520 horsepower, which is a significant boost from the standard engine. The 1JZ engine is a legendary powerplant, known for its reliability and durability. In this car, it's been tweaked to produce a substantial amount of power, thanks to bigger cams, a bigger turbocharger, and additional cooling systems. The result is a beast of an engine that produces a ton of horsepower.

The Exhaust System: A Customized Masterpiece

One of the standout features of this car is its exhaust system. It's a fully custom setup, designed to minimize backpressure and maximize power. The exhaust pipes are mounted straight out of the fender, eliminating the need for a lengthy exhaust system that runs down the side of the car. This not only looks sleek but also reduces the risk of damage from road debris or other hazards.

Suspension and Steering: BC Racing Coilovers and Custom Steering Column

The suspension on this car has been upgraded with BC Racing coilovers, which provide exceptional handling and stability. The coilovers are designed to work in conjunction with the car's chassis, providing a smooth ride and precise control. In addition, the steering column has been customized to meet the needs of the driver. It features a Tilton pedal box and tilt-in-handbrake, allowing for seamless control over the car.

Drivetrain: A Reliable BMW 530 Diesel

The drivetrain on this car is a key component of its overall performance. Inside the gearbox, a common conversion from Europe has been used, paired with a cooler Rook shifter. This setup provides instant shifting and precise control over the car's power delivery. The gearbox is designed to handle big torque and diesel engines, making it an ideal choice for this high-performance car.

Custom Interior: Switch Panels and Custom Reservoirs

The interior of this car has been extensively modified to meet the needs of its driver. It features custom switch panels, including switches on the roof and elsewhere. The reservoirs have also been upgraded with custom designs, providing a sleek and modern look. This level of customization is typical in high-performance cars, where every detail matters.

Rear End: A Custom Tube-Framed Solution

The rear end of this car has been designed to be collapsible, thanks to its tube-framed construction. The diff has been sourced from a Scandinavian company that specializes in creating powerful diffs for high-performance vehicles. This setup should provide exceptional grip and control, even at high speeds.

Fuel Cell and Cooling System: A Customized Solution

The fuel cell on this car is designed to meet the needs of high-performance driving. It's taken from an a86 rally car and features operated pumps and fans to keep everything running smoothly. The cooling system has also been upgraded with custom components, ensuring that the engine stays cool under extreme conditions.

Conclusion: A Pro Car for Ireland

This car is a true showstopper, designed to tackle the demands of Irish rallying events. Its unique combination of power, handling, and style makes it an ideal machine for this type of competition. With its 1JZ engine and turbocharger, it's built to produce a ton of horsepower and deliver exceptional performance on the track. The car's custom interior and exterior design make it stand out from the crowd, and its reliability and durability ensure that it will be a force to be reckoned with in Ireland.

Adam's Experience: A New Challenge

Adam will be putting this car through its paces at an upcoming event in Ireland. As someone who has competed in many different machines over the years, he'll be facing a new challenge with this unique a86 setup. The car's lightweight design and powerful engine should provide exceptional handling and acceleration, but it's also known to be a bit unpredictable. Adam will need to adapt quickly to its quirks and limitations if he wants to get the most out of this machine.

The Event: A Fun-Filled Experience

This event promises to be a fun-filled experience for everyone involved. The car culture in Ireland is thriving, with many talented drivers competing at high levels. The track itself is a challenging one, requiring precision driving and quick reflexes to navigate its twists and turns. With this car's unique combination of power and handling, Adam will have an opportunity to showcase his skills and push the limits of what's possible.

The Event Takes Place: A Week Before the Irish Rally

As I sit down to write this article, I'm getting excited for the upcoming event. It's been a busy few weeks, with lots of preparation going into this car. Now that it's ready to go, I'm eager to see Adam take her out for a spin and put her through her paces. The anticipation is building, and I know that everyone involved will be on the edge of their seats as they watch this event unfold. It promises to be an unforgettable experience, with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

I've ever driven but it probably feels like this honestly with the power to weight let's get it hooked up though this car we just turned up the boost a little bit because I you know I wanted to make

in the area that's a little bit less sketchy take over and I'll make sure you're good I actually haven't driven on E85 yes this is my first time driving home oh it's like 50 percent sounds are so good yeah it makes all the perfect sounds with AC hell yeah come on AC rips come on cheers super smooth definitely different than spinning on a 400 . first time I've driven this car on the street you feel really up it's still weird your turn signals are on the opposite side that's just it's JDM dude see I should have not told you so I made you hit your bunch of diapers I can do downshifting like Pro oh my God this is never gonna get old white line white line and she's got plenty more in her too yeah I know that was just easy I wouldn't shift this gearbox like a Honda no no I literally did that those are pieces of cars and I didn't give a and it was like do you find a Honda training for 200 back on the day yeah I recently learned what shifting like 100 transmission means I know you do it it's pretty addicting I know we were 11 answers I never had a car that you could do that in yeah honest didn't matter yeah so I told you I got into that VR6 and I blew the training in like five days I was like yo what is this all my book started writing you gotta shift it easily I was like I wasn't even unlimiter I didn't take my foot off the gas but good work how do you like it I love this thing dude are you kidding me I'm glad you're happy it's a soup right you did a great driving it too all right so about this a86 as you guys know the Ireland stop at the LZ World Tour is a week and a half away if you don't already have your tickets at the rate they're going they're going to sell out You're Gonna Wanna Make sure to do that last year I was fortunate enough to be able to rent Kevin Quinn's S15 amazing car it was a great experience but this year I want to switch it up a little bit we're doing street tires for the competition this year so having a big Power big Pro car wasn't really necessary an idea of driving an a86 just seemed cool especially last time being there seeing how much love the Irish has for the a86 and how many amazing builds I sell they're both at the car show and on track from a competition standpoint maybe not the best idea since I've spent very little time drifting in a86 before Dave in the drift games team started the hunt to try to find me an a86 that would work well for our event and one actually popped up for sale that drove at Mandela at our last Ireland event last year I'm gonna go ahead and put a picture of what the car looked like when I bought it on this screen here you can see super clean it's even got 11 Front Street car drift car I don't know unfortunately it was a bit on the pricey side it's not a hatchback which is what I wanted and it doesn't have the original engine but as you can see there's still a massive smile on my face and I think you guys will understand why when you see this thing and before you see it in this video I want to see in the comments how many of you guys can guess the engine that's in this e86 I feel like No One's Gonna guess it I feel like it's a bit out there maybe it's not maybe I'm just clueless but it's different Dave and the drift Games Team have been amazing in trying to help me get this car sorted Dave actually just drove it figured out that there's no way I was gonna fit in it so they've been working on it trying to get the seating position dialed in and some other little spicy bits and thankfully he was able to capture some footage over in Ireland which I'm going to insert in the video here showing the car more in detail I still haven't even seen it in person but I'm super excited for you guys to see it right here right now all right Dave here you go thanks Adam and welcome to the all-new drift game studios here in Dublin now we've built a lot of cool cars on the drift games YouTube channel we've never had to pick one or build one for somebody else but we knew the Irish fans would need something spicy for this event to build on last year and Adam and I decided we were going to get an a86 Corolla but not just any a86 Corolla the spiciest one around check this out thank you so here it is the car that Adam is going to be driving in Ireland next week and I'm super pumped about it so Adam and I spoke a couple of months ago I wanted to get a new Pro car I really wanted an 86 and we also talked about Adam driving the car that would get Irish fans the most hyped and that has to be the 86 because everybody in Ireland loves these things because they bring together two great historic parts of Motorsport these were hugely popular in drifting and they were hugely popular in rallying so rallying and drifting being the two biggest Motor Sports in Ireland everybody loves the 8-6 so we tried to keep a little bit of Heritage in the design you're obviously going to notice straight away that this is adapted by square design from the original delivery on Adam's S15 for my drift car but we tried to add that old school flavor with keeping the two tones we have the black painted bottom arches bottom of the rear bumper on the skirts I think it gives it a really classic look so it's like the new style with the old school style all mixed together our guys in precisioned into Graphics did a last minute job on this and it came out awesome super shiny it's not painted but it looks like paint because this car underneath was painted gray over black but this is no ordinary Corolla and while it has a lot of show it also has a lot of gold because Adam's going to need a pro car that can keep up with guys from drift Masters Formula Drift and more importantly his own friends who will definitely hold the grudge over him if he loses so we have to give him some power this Toyota Corolla out with the 16 valve and in with a fully forged 1JZ making 520 horsepower through little 15-inch tires this thing has bigger cams it's fully forged as I said bigger turbo it's got a lot more cooling systems added full custom Loom the whole way through the car everything built and Tube framed for it to be a pro car my favorite touch is this incredible assignments exhaust that goes straight out the fender of the car so the exhaust doesn't run down the rest of the car while the water pipes do because it has a rear mounted rat it has got BC racing coilovers all around and the front angle kit is from our friend Darren McNamara at Group D who is a Corolla expert one of the interesting things is that this car has brand new and I mean brand new Toyota a86 headlights and Grille from Toyo as in these haven't seen one kilometer yet which is crazy that you can still get these parts everything as you would expect in a pro car and it runs a ton of angle and it actually drives pretty sweet I drove the car about a week ago I tested it it is scary fast because it it's super lightweight it's just over a thousand kilos whatever you guys in America want to translate that to and it has got 520 horsepower so getting gripped down is one of the most difficult things in this car so you get all that power in the front let's talk about the drivetrain going through the car so inside the gearbox has been changed so it's a common conversion over here in Europe a BMW 530 Diesel with a cooler Rook shifter so it feels like a nice really instant shift it's obviously short in the throw but the gearbox is used to taking big torque and a diesel engine which is a big conversion people do in Europe and it's really reliable works great it's got a custom steering column it's got all the custom reservoirs above that custom ECU all the switch panels it's got switches on the roof switches everywhere this thing is a full on Pro car what's really cool is got a Tilton pedal box tilt-in handbrake and it's obviously got its full cage regulations for competition here in Europe as I mentioned we got the 1JZ we got the 530d and that's made it to the rear end this also runs a diff from a Scandinavian company called Grabber who are used to putting thousand horsepower Volvos drifting at gatsbill in Norway and that's what this runs on the rear end so it should be definitely able to take all of the hardship that Adam is going to put it through uh while we all cry from a distance during the event at the back it's got a custom cutout rear window with a rear mounted rad the whole back end is tube framed with fiberglass panels replacing everything it's got a fuel cell from an a86 rally car with operated pumps it's got operated fans got operating everything and it's very pretty Adam so you know I know it's tube framed at the back and it's all designed to be collapsible but I'd rather it didn't collapse at the event because it looks really really good this car has a ton of extras on top of that but I let Adam introduce all those and obviously I'm looking forward to seeing how he adapts to the car we've seen Adam in tons of different machines over the years and different competitions but we've never seen them compete in an a86 and I think Irish fans and all you guys watching are going to be excited to see how he dabs this car it's not the easiest car to drive I'm gonna make sure everybody understands that it's not it's Snappy it's fast it's light it's it's weird at times but it's going to be a ton of fun and that's the whole point of this event is having fun with your friends and driving something a little bit different and a little bit special so there you go Adam here's your new 86 enjoy the event bring it back in one piece as you guys can see this is far from your average 86. this thing is Real Deal race car and I am stoked to go drive it Ireland has become one of my favorite places in the world the car culture the people the track I can't believe the events right around the corner this year has absolutely flown by if you don't have tickets make sure to pick them up I'm excited to see you guys there and I am super excited to get behind the wheel of this thing hope you guys enjoyed this video wish I could have showed it to you in person but you guys will see it more and uh I guess about a week and a half so I'm off to my last round of FD
