Back in 2004, the now well-known sport of drifting was only in it’s infancy here in Australia. A driver well known to the ’86 fraternity for competing in his pink Levin Hatch in Drift Australia and more recently for putting a 1UZ-FE V8 motor into his now red Hachiroku, Josh Young began his 86 drifting career in a piss yellow ’86 sporting only the most basic of basic modifications. He showed that you didn’t need massive amounts of power or fancy mods to be competitive in the drift scene back then.
Please be sure to check out an old article about this car which was originally published in Drift Battle Magazine as well as 10 minutes of video footage of this car in action after the jump!

Below is some video footage of this car in action, you will also notice another AE86 in this footage which is Beau Yates’ original 20v 4A-GE powered ’86 which by the way, is now the 3S-GTE powered, TRD backed AE86 competing in the Drift Australia championship in 2008.
