Keiichi Tsuchiya - Pluspy (part 2)

[QuikYeh]

He's so close to the wall, one mistake and he's done. Unbelievable........

[Chorgy]

Notice how he's better drifting on turns going right, and kinda sucks at turns going left still? haha. Little did we know, he'd eventually become the Drift King.

[xraidedlok]

nvm corolla

[xraidedlok]

cop at 2:43?

[ProjectDFanPage]

To those who keep saying AE86. Please. Go back to america. It's an AE85 you can tell By the missing strip along the door. This means he is running the Factory sohc inline 4. 16 Valve. Not 20 Valve Dohc. The obvious Headlights making it a Levin not a trueno. Get your facts straight,

[HuhnK0t]

@ProjectDFanPage LOL read the description?

[RTDragonCommando]

@ProjectDFanPage Actually, the 4a engine in both the AE85 and AE86 where 16 valve engines, just the number of cams was different. The 20 valve engines didn't come until the AE1xx cars. Even the AW11 MR2 was a 16 valve 4a.

Also, the stripe means absolutely nothing since the AE85 and AE86 had different trim packages. You could get an 85 that looked exactly like an 86, and vice versa. (I've seen both with the stripe) They all used the same body pannels anyway.

[sleomazzola]

@ProjectDFanPage Common, AE85's do not rev to 7200 rpm and sound like that..give me a break dip shit.

[sleomazzola]

@ProjectDFanPage God damn your post is pissing me off! GO FUCKING LEARN YOUR SHIT BEFORE MAKING STUPID COMMENTS YOU IDIOT.

[ProjectDFanPage]

I smell a Levin Chassis, but superb technique.

[sleomazzola]

@ProjectDFanPage The Levin and Trueno front ends were different but the chassis were exactly the same. Please do some research before spouting off.

[EvripidesCelicakias]

Aaaah, the sound of the stock bigport 16V 4A-GE

[BLOBBLYBLOBBY]

Hachi roku :3

[rchotrodder1]

this pass looks like hakone on tokyo extreme racer drift 1&2

[scaniaIRT]

LOLs no powerstering?

[fre3zing]

thts the clutch pedel hitting the fire wall dumb ass ninjagrayfox

[cryptology]

I love how he switches between drift and grip on the fly. That's what makes him amazing!

[terrancep123]

Keiichi Tsuchiya (known as the Dorikin/Drift King

[Shorty15c4007]

4:06 was beast

[yalefail]

i love levins sooo much. lol.  i have a nz assembled ae82 and it looks exactly like a facelift levin from the front. hahahaha.

[Listerfiend808]

Drifting for Speed.

[Grophrane1337]

The talking over the radio just sounds like a normal talkshow to me, though I can't hear what they say. In the mountains the signal is quite bad, so that's why it sounds broken, like a police radio. (and don't compare Japan to America, police are unbelievably lenient over there compared to America) ^_^

[AE86TougeRacer]

he had 3 ae86's, thats his last Levin. he had 2 Levins and a Trueno(more famous)

[Zaviur]

Those roads look amazing, almost like track roads with a nice surface and nothing but corners. UK roads are like patchwork quilts covered in deep drainage ditches with mainly straights with constant road works and traffic traffic lights even on quiet rural roads.

[seanyroche]

2:46 another cam keeping sketch lmao

[TheDap96]

4:08-4:15 best

[CallMeRom]

4:00 epic save?

[CallMeRom]

2:44 another hachiroku I guess.

[yerpaljesus]

not a tweaked guard rail in sight!

[ZiemoPL]

4:08 = famous C-121 turn at Usui Pass :)

Love the video

[germade]

was filmed in 1977

[KSK4lyfe]

@germade the Toyota AE86 wasn't even produced yet in 1977 dumbass

[CountYorik]

Fantastic driving.

[ztirf03]

I guess drifting is necessary when you turn on hairpin curves...

Try racing on mountain passes and not use drift...

[BenGmZ]

it looks magical when the leaves kick up and float

[Spectraeon]

he's not using the gutter trick. remember, at this time Tsuchiya isn't a rich racing god, he's just a normal teen, and I doubt he would risk destroying his front suspension and chassis to gain .1 s on a corner.

he is, however using the best line I've ever seen, with a really late apex (except on s-curves, where he uses an early apex to set up for a late apex on the adjoining curve)

If you don't understand what the perfect line is, go to amazon and buy the book "speed secrets" by Ross Bentley.

[C1TeamMidNight]

@Spectraeon He wasn't a normal teen in this video. It says in the very beginning that he was born in 1956. If this video was made in 1987, and he was born in 1956, that would make him 31 years old.

[destroya6530]

4:08 drift king

[destroya6530]

omggggg look at drift in 2:04 insaneeeeeeee

[destroya6530]

yeah guys he did gutter look closely and u can see it

[chinotheoriginal]

1:04 did he use the gutter??

[ElearTW]

there arn't any gutters on this road, he's just using all the available road, and so dips off the edge of the tarmac

[l2onniel]

1:12, sick drift

[poltaotata]

I love that car...very balanced

[2ynj]

haha i'd laff he actually did a gutter run (but i dont think its possible)

[AlecTheJimSlayer421]

It's possible, Rudolf Caracciola did it on one of the corners of the Nürburgring.

[berserkdrift]

GOOOOOOSEBUMPS!!!!! what a classic time and time again!

[Vodd9]

AE86: The one car that made it from shitbox to legend status.

[intense7]

Was a legend from the moment it was released, It's always been held in high regard

[sleomazzola]

That's because it's a great Chassis.... Thanks for pointing that out though.

[Khoailan]

as u can c hes right turn is more smoother and more control then hes left turns.

just the opposite of me cuz im left handed :)

[prololipop]

You think that because the camera is slighty aiming at the right, so you cant perfectly see his left drifts

[cheebz88]

to all that are arguing over whether drifting is faster than normal cornering techniques. stop.

keiichi has said himself that the reason he started drifting is not because it is the fastest way around the corner, it's the most fun. he started drifting because he was faster than all the other people he raced, so drifting slowed him down and put more interest into the races.

the point of drifting is not necessarily to be the fastest but to have loads of fun going through a corner.

[panzerschreck89]

I still think grip driving is better...

[inurkiewicz]

not better, not worse. each of their own man.

[Stormwield]

that is definitely usui, as much as i can remember, but its definitely a public road, so where are all the other cars?

[whothemack]

People + radios stationed at various corners ensuring safety I'm sure.

[skylineXpert]

i praise the ae86 for its drifting abilities.

AE86 4EVER!!!

[prololipop]

i think yyou should praise the drifter even more for his abilities :O

[skylineXpert]

also for their skills

[petewtampan]

Fuck both of you..Drifting is something you did because of the excitement, it doesnt matter who invent it. Just drift away your ego and enjoy your drift session

[freestylerfalcon]

he only drifts to the right lol

[sleomazzola]

Why is the music at the end so depressing? It kinda makes me teary eyed.

[pigsabbath2]

watch this video with initial D soundtrack ...

its awesome

[ACIDTOTAL]

Usui?

[warlockskz]

love to see him do this again, bet he can go through this track much faster now

[Turbojonny5]

WOW!!

This is very cool footage!!!!

I just finished part 1

Thanks for uploading/sharing ^_^

It made my day!

[AE86truenofan]

what touge is it that tsuchiya was on in that vid

[Rednecks12]

Looks like Usui (which I believe is his homecourse). At 4:09 he goes through the famous C-121 corner.

[Slidingmy240sx]

But yeah...this is what you have to do to get better. well...try to do it legally at the most. but nothing replaces the actual motions of trying it out and driving the corners. It takes a whole lot of time to put it down to make it as beautiful as Mr. Tsuchiya does.

[16vjustice]

I wonder what kind of LSD he is running...

[thekickass]

snoopay are you telling me that if say i were to somehow aquire a Ford Model T that it could be used to drift? At the video can't wait to see more of Keichi

[ldavidtw2000]

either way he owns you and you can't do it.

[god5peed]

get over it snoopay700...no one gives a fuck about ur dad...

[ninjagrayfox]

Is that a police scanner making all the chatter?

[lnsania]

That's probably other guys talking to him on the radio letting him know if the road is clear.

[ninjagrayfox]

Awesome.

[seanyroche]

@ninjagrayfox cb radio: they say speed up, speed up one day you will be the drift king!

[SpliteR]

Please check your private messages.. :)

[lnsania]

I will try to upload the rest soon. Stay subscribed :)

[kinglynx]

@lnsania 3 years ago and u still havnt uploaded the rest...

[Kilen81]

Jeebus, i got tears in my eyes.. No wonder he's the Dorikin...

[darkshore1]

very cool.hadnt seen this touge in ages.pretty awsum for 1987-88 era. love the drift style started by Kunimitsu Takahashi and made into an art form by Tsuchiya and a business by Option.

[snoopay700]

Oh please, to say that he started it is to be naive. Drifting has been around for about as long as cars have, so basically the early 1900s is when it started. It got big in europe in the 50's and 60's, and my dad, who is 55, drifted when he was in high school. Kunimitsu didn't start anything, he just did what many others have done before, and by the time that Keiichi came about he just used these techniques and it got popular in japan.

[snoopay700]

That's not to say that he isn't good, i do envy his skill, but i just hate that people think that drifting was started in japan, and it is the fastest way through a corner.

[VortexNeurofunk]

keiichi himself even says

"i dont drift because its the fastest way through a corner but the most exciting"

[kpgoodwin83]

on some corners u can hold a bit of inursure witch can help to accelrate out of corners, a slight drift across the apex, in theory tyre get maxamim grip at a 20% slip ratio to there speed, but to acually pull this off is another thing entirly and drifting has been around since cars had 4 wheels, BUT the jap's turned it into a hobby, i to get frustrated when ppl say Jap's invented drift,

[toookoooldrew118]

well the first person to use the 4 wheel drift in competition was japanese.

[kpgoodwin83]

who was he and werewas this drift and what competiton pls

[RoninCyanide]

couldn't tell you that but Keiichi Tsuchiya was the one that made it popular by drifting in non-drifting competitions.

[ArmAFan]

Competition? keiicchi never had competition he only had fun when driving as he tells in drift bible :P

[dreamhero]

@ArmAFan

Sorry if i got your comment wrong, but, he had competition many times.

Japanese touring championships (JTCC) and even Le Mans

[pohldapanda]

As long as there are cars, there was drifting.

But for the motor sports aspect, it was originated by rally drivers.

Then people would try it on your own.

But Japan did make it a Professional Competition to try to stop Touge Racing and Drifting Illegally.

[snoopay700]

If you did copy that from wikipedia i don't care, but to say that rally got people to start trying it is also naive. Like i said, my dad and others that he knew (one of his brothers even) drifted before rally races really started happening, they got it from circuit racing. Whoever wrote that article should be smacked.

However japan is the culprit for the bastardization of drifting, making it into a sport and only about how far out you can swing it.

[kpgoodwin83]

well put it an't called a "scandinavian flick" for nothing

[snoopay700]

Wow, people seem to hate it when i tell the truth about the history of racing, and racing techniques. It's pretty damn funny, i guess people don't want to hear that them being drift fanboys is for naught since it didn't start in japan.

[Slidingmy240sx]

lol...No truth from you dude. Drifting as we know it, started in Japan. Sliding the car has been done in dirt for ages (American dirt track/nascar/rally)...but on dry road...drifting has been given it's debut and birth in Japan. Dont talk about driving or drifting. You fail. I for one have my experience. Do you have any prior experience?

[Slidingmy240sx]

lol dont call me a failure when you dont even have any experience yourself. And i HAVE heard of them, and i do watch racing (IN PERSON) aye lot. and what are you saying? I didnt talk down on rally.

[snoopay700]

Dude, you are a fucking moron and you fail harder than anyone i have ever seen. You probably drift like shit and countersteer as much as you can. Seriously, take a look at any racing theory book, i suggest the one by Paul Frere, it was written in the 50's, he's a brit, and he talks about 4 wheel drifting. It didn't start in japan, you're just a fucking moron.

[Slidingmy240sx]

lol...1) in the 50s the only way they were drifting is in the dirt (aka Pan America, or Nascar, dirt track). Drifting on Tarmac and on dirt is 2 different games dude. TOTALLY different. and plus I am a FAST driver. I drift just for fun. A good driver should be able to do both show and speed drift. Which i am now capable of =). How bout you? Its ok if your only experience comes from Video games. FYI: Need for speed Carbon doesnt count dude.

[snoopay700]

Wow, you really are a moron. I mean seriously, just assuming i have only played video games because i put a video about morrowind up three years ago? Grow up man. And i bet that i could still beat you in a race, but you can think you're fast because you've shown you know shit about driving fast. Oh yeah, and also the drifting i'm talking about, in the 50's? That was on tarmac, with touring cars, and open wheeled racers. If you opened your mouth half as much you'd sound half as ignorant.

[pohldapanda]

You read that off of Wikipedia!

[zaibolint]

its still a cut version of the original video, but with the best parts of it :)

i didnt know, his license got suspended, well, really, no wonder seeing this :)

[lnsania]

This isn't a cut version unless you're referring to the fact that I'm splitting it into parts myself. :)

[CrazyDrifter217]

thanks for upload more of the film keep up the clips man this is great it was one of the first videos on drifting
