Take one 4-AC AE86, drive carefully for 140000Kms, hand over to maniac (namely me  ) thrash the tits off it for 20000Kms until 4AG is ready to go in, decide to destroy 4-AC "just for fun" so we can have an excuse to get the G in faster, take said vehicle to dirt patch and practice S/flicks in 1st gear @5KRPM, engine wont die  , better idea, chock front wheels and do burnout in dirt to hit max rpm and hopefully blow engine....
max rpm hit at 7200Rpm for about 1 min, engine still runs and actually improves????? not including now leaking front main seal, takes 2 mins to rock AE86 out of wheel ruts to head back home 
answer... old 4AC's never die... they just get better the more you thrash them
seriously.... you have to really mistreat a 4-ac to kill it and apart from rust, the AE86 is a fairly good shell if it hasnt suffered any prangs.
