What is the license plate number of the Initial D AE86?

The license plate number of the Initial D AE86 is Gunma 5513954. The AE86 in Initial D is the fifth-generation Corolla, but the AE86 used for racing in the movie has been modified. The Toyota Corolla AE86 features a design with straight lines and a forward-tilted, flat front end. Each generation of the Corolla has a different chassis model. The AE86 has body dimensions of 4180mm in length, 1625mm in width, and 1335mm in height, with decent power performance, boasting a maximum power output of 128 horsepower. Since Japanese cars are primarily right-hand drive, the AE86 has a right-hand steering wheel. Right-hand drive vehicles cannot be driven on the road in China. Additionally, the Corolla only entered production in China starting from the ninth generation, and the fifth-generation Corolla is quite old, so sightings of the AE86 are rare in China.

What causes a gasoline engine to fail to accelerate?

Reasons why a gasoline engine fails to accelerate: Fuel system blockage: First, check if the fuel filter is clogged, whether the fuel pump pressure is sufficient, and if the fuel injectors are blocked. Exhaust system blockage: Inspect the catalytic converter and the entire exhaust pipe for any blockages. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body: Idle position sensor or air flow meter damage. If the car cannot accelerate normally during driving, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for computer diagnostics to identify the fault storage code. If the issue is not related to the electrical components, then it may be a mechanical problem, which can be disassembled and inspected by a professional technician. 4S shops have specialized equipment for this purpose.

How Many Kilometers to Replace Brake Pads

Under normal circumstances, the front brake pads should be replaced every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Notes on brake pad replacement: 1. Based on mileage: For household cars, you only need to consider replacing brake pads after driving 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Generally, the front brake pads wear faster than the rear ones, so you can check the front brake pads first during inspection. 2. Dashboard: The car dashboard has a brake pad warning light. When this warning light comes on, the brake pads are no longer usable, so you should check them in advance. 3. Thickness: To determine whether the brake pads need replacement, check their thickness. During maintenance at a 4S shop, ask the mechanic to inspect the brake pad thickness. They should be replaced when worn down to 0.5 millimeters.

Will reversing on the highway definitely be captured by cameras?

Reversing on the highway will definitely be captured by cameras. According to relevant regulations, reversing on the highway is punishable by a fine, a one-time deduction of 12 points from the driver's license, and the temporary suspension of the driver's license. A full-score study notice will be issued, and the driver can only retrieve their license after passing a theoretical exam. When a motor vehicle needs to stop temporarily for repairs due to a malfunction, the driver must turn on the right turn signal in advance to leave the driving lane and stop in the emergency parking lane or on the right shoulder. Repairing the vehicle on the driving lane is prohibited. If a motor vehicle cannot leave the driving lane or must stop on the shoulder due to a malfunction or accident, the driver must immediately turn on the hazard warning flashers and place a warning sign 100 meters behind the vehicle in the direction of travel. At night, the driver must also turn on the width marker lights and tail lights. The driver and passengers must quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency parking lane and immediately report to the traffic police.
