My first car project, one of Japan's most infamous drift legends, the '86 (Corolla) sprinter trueno.

The Trueno was a RWD hatch powered by the AE86 motor. The '86 Corolla came in two versions, the trueno and the levin. Separating the two models was the pop up headlights, unique to the trueno.

The car itself only had 128 brake horsepower, but coupled with the lightweight nature of the car, created a vehicle that could throw itself left and right into drifts.

This replica models the shape of an authentic JDM example of the 86 trueno, with left- hand driving, and is an automatic. Use VTOL to activite the headlights, and Trim to open the doors. Brake lifts the handbrake as well as pushes the brake pedal, and throttle shifts the stick into drive and pushes the gas pedal. Engine and fuel are brightly colored and visible from the bottom in case you want to "tune" this car.

*DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS*
making this car able to slide well made average driving dicey, so try to either be gentle on steering or cut left and right in order to keep straight.

*DRIFTING*
best way to drift, imo, is to tap one direction, and let the back tires slip out, then correct with opposite direction. The car will accelerate as it slides, so its best to start correcting at the very latest after 90 degrees of turn. If you cannot correct and spin out, keep holding the direction opposite spinning, so that you will 90% of the time complete the equivalent of a handbrake turn.

Remember, have fun, and improvisation is key since drifting doesn't really work in this game.
