Hey man, Its the ex-owner of the S15!
I recently saw your other video today, and i am so thankful you found the location and recovered her. I can confirm that I was scammed when I tried to get my car shipped out. I no longer have the papers to the car, I believe they are still in the car.
Another thing I wanted to say: I sense a strong connection with you and the S15, I can tell you are in love with the car, and it could provide great content for your channel in the future. So that’s exactly why I gave it to you. I knew you would be happier with it than I could. It would hurt to have to go and repair my own car that was trashed, torn apart, all the hard work gone, when someone, that someone is you, can rebuild it without anger at the sight of your hard work destroyed. I have bought a new car, my S13, which i have already started a build on. I’m so glad you managed to get it running again and I’m so grateful you saved it from its grave. Just hearing the turbo whistle again made me tear up. Thank you.
Sincerely, Seth.
8:20 I can confirm these are stock cams, I had bought some to fit in but I never got to it 😬
Do you have old pictures of when the s15 was fully built?
What was it like during its golden age?
How are you the owner of the s15 when sammit owns it ? Just curious
🧢
Would suck to be you tho selling it for and absolute bargain then seeing only needed minor engine work to get it going
I shed a tear when it started, congratulations
Japanese engineering at its best , proof that they were and still are at the top of thier games !! Keep sending it Sam !!
True it’s a nice car
But the rims are German because Meister is german and means Master
Yeah nah … Japanese tuners/fabrication have fallen behind In the last decade harrrd
@@RacerA8 ?
@@RacerA8 What about the WORK Meisters then? Work is Japanese
@@RacerA8 ? damm dood. chill with ur deep insights.. but beamers are still not running properly which is German made btw.
This is 1 reason why I'll take jdm cars over any other and why they'll remain my dream to own one. This thing was sitting in the bushes for years and you just washed it off and did some small tweaking and it's literally spitting flames as if it wasn't abandoned. Crazy
16:59 Brought the biggest smile to my face, thank you for bringing such a beautiful car back to life, can't wait to see this thing sideways at ebisu.
First word he said was no
He's going to make this a street car.
No, its a street car not a drift car
putting the rocket bunny back on it, and hitting daikoku with it
He is going to build a street car
Yes, yes way! Glad to see another legend in the process of being saved. Way to go Sam!
I think the shop owner stole the cams to sell off and replaced them with whatever he had lying around, that's why the cams were in such worse condition compared to everything else.
I think 🤔 ur on to something…
@@razev1985 Outside air cannot get into the cam gallery, that is totally separate from the cylinders, unless your valve guides and seals are non existent. It’s possible that sea air got into the cam cover if the oil filler cap was left off, but other steel parts in there would then corrode. I agree with the comment that cams were stolen, those cams probably already had rust on before they went in the engine. I live by the sea, if your motor stays buttoned up, it won’t rust that way.
@@foamdataservices ohh, thank you for the explanation, i wrote what i saw in other comments, kinda stupid sorry.
Yeah that definitely makes the most sense.
no shit bright spark
SHEEEEEE LIIIIIIIVES!!!! God bless that turbo spool & the wonderful noise she makes!
Those wheels are perfect for the car. Hope you plan on keeping them on it
agreed! they are sick dude
Yes i agree.. love the wheels but does he go rocket bunny or yashio aero that's the question?
The fact that they are sick they are really hard to find and its so rare wheel hope he keep it on
@@aaronbosel5599 I'm hoping rocket bunny kit
I'd his wife japanese lol
I cannot believe the car started so happily, I hope this car will be able to go anywhere on the road when its fixed up again, poor car had to stay alone and abandoned for years, I know everyone in the comments are so excited to see the set up in the future.
That thing looks really mean from the front, the wide wheels and exposed intercooler just works really well
I agree, even without the body kit it looks cool
I had a bumper on it before I got scammed and lost the car.
imo needs a bumper
Cars really do have souls and this one wasn't ready to die!!! I'm so happy for you Sam
That would be because I put my heart and soul into it before it was taken away from me 💔
So deep words , love you man
When she started I almost cried, beautiful sound.
It's time for Initial D.
He is like tommy F-Yeah but he is happy is a understatement lol Love the content.
This is trully an amazing thing, seeing an old car nand being able to turn it on, but that was fast... 😂 Grats sam. I loved it, you inspire me to work on cars as well, and continue to chase my dreams. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️
Dude you don't even know how lucky you are! That style is 15 is my dream car and it has been since I was a little kid. I am so in love with this car I hope one day I can go to Japan and find something like this. That would be amazing
I wish it wasn’t illegal in the US
@@Elikinyo in 2024 it will be legal just 2 more years
@@Jxyc3 excuse my ignorance but what will be legal?
@@crojackbojangles s15 is illegal to drive in the united states rn due to the 25 year import rule which means the car is banned for 25 years, in 2024 that ban will be lifted because the 25 years have passed. Right now you can only use the car for professional racing etc. it is not street legal
9:15 may's addition to the video really makes the difference. im serious, like the kind of off topic thing that she adds is just awesome
Excited to see this S15 cruising once again soon in a video!
its heart touching at the beginning how it looks so sad, yet still so angry as s15 should...mad respect bois!❤️
No smoke, sounds healthy, moves under its own power… freaking awesome buddy!!!
That's awesome, what a find! Crazy you were able to get it right up and running with new cams and plugs.
The rocker arms really are a weak point for the engines. Like sam said the VVL head is one option but mazworx has a solution that has been working great for me for years. Each rocker has one guide, basically the mazworx kit machines the rockers to fit dual guides.
Plus the vvl head flows so much more over the det head
Sam knows about dual guides he runs them in his pink car.
Everyone who knows sr knows this its why you dont bash limiter
@@SylasG Just figured I would drop some knowledge for anyone interested. It can be a pretty aggravating experience when your rockers keep falling off.
@@MiguelSanchez-st3pv No doubt VVL head is the ultimate sr20 upgrade. Not everyone can afford it tho.
For a young man can not fault you. Well done mate. You surprised me being so young. Start to finish. You know what your doing. Take care mate. Congrats
It's very impressive that this car started after many years of sitting can't wait for the upcoming content with this sick S15
It's been sitting for 3 years or less.
a couple weeks ago me and my buddy picked up a supercharged 3g eclipse, we’re told the motor was not running and it needed a fuel pump… all it needed was a new owner and that car started right up, it’s been sitting since 2012 and i drove it for 2 hours on the highway and all was smooth, it’s got easily 4k$ of work done to it and picked it up for 1,100$
Dude. I’m so freakin happy for you, to have a find like this and then to have the opportunity to just throw a little elbow grease and bring it back to life is surreal. Congrats brother, I’m happy for you and I hope you bring back the rocket bunny fingers crossed 🤞🏽 haha
So crazy how well that worked out. Usually, automotive restoration projects never go this smooth as you probably know. Badass!
You should name it 天命 ten mei meaning destined by heaven (destiny). You saved an legend car from the harsh weathering of Okinawa and now it gets to fulfill it's destiny with all of us to enjoy. Absolutely amazing story Dr. Sammit , the SR drift doctor. Congratulations to you and your team! 🎉💕👏🏼👏🏼
THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME!!!! This is why Japan is the holy grail when it comes to automotive, you can just find a relic such as this S15 and be the happiest guy in the world! Awesome work Sam!!! Much love from NY
Man, this is awesome. That put a smile on my face that the car came to life. Congrats, Sam!!!! I had no doubts that you were able to bring it back to life
16:30 is my favorite part when the car turns on.He feels happy about the car turning on keep up the good work 👍
While I'm a Subie guy I do like an S15, and any JDM legend coming back to life is excellent
Awesome to see an abandoned car roar back to life like that! Flames and all!
字幕も説明もよくわかりやすく大変嬉しいです!
Gonna be my favourite build to follow, nuts it ran after so long and sounds so fresh as well after it had ran for a little bit. Crazy stuff
Love that you’re spending a couple hours on the car on vacation only to work all day and into the night! Much respect
So cool to see that thing come back to life and moving, great work Sam. My cousin had a late 90's Subaru Impreza that he parked out back of his dads house for I think two years, can't remember but I helped him get that thing going. All it needed was a battery and some weasel piss and it fired right up and drove like he never left it.
I’m just Happy that Sam is NOT making this S15 a drift missle. And instead making it pretty again back to its former Glory.
Awesome that you got it running that easy sammit can't wait to see what plans you have for this aswell as the other car projects you currently have underway 😀 👍
Definitely Stoked for you. However the car came to you. Its not done and still wants to run. Props to you for getting it running again :)
Keep it going growing fast!!💪💪
congratulations! been watching each oki clip to see the progress and i'm happy to see it at this state! i can't imagine how you were and are feeling right now
Just started watching you 🔥 now I can’t stop watching 😂
You gonna be here for a good and long one
Japanese engineering at its best is proof that they were and still are at the top of their games !! Keep sending it Sam
Can we get a “No way” counter for the next video 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the great work 😎
How about a it's been sitting so long counter... Said first vid it was sitting maybe 2 years I'm sure rich people leave their cars undriven for much longer periods of time
Most annoying 5 minutes of the whole video.
No way
A no way jar
This is a hidden gem. I am so happy you are saving it from dying. And the airlift suspension is just wow
Its only been sitting for 2 years its not that crazy that it would start xD im just surprised it hasn't rusted more with that salty Okinawa air.
Congratulations on the new car, it running and driving. I can tell the car wants to be saved and driving again.
"Another day, another Silvia!" New t-shirt design?!??!!
Hope you return this car to its former glory and make it a street/show car !!
放置にしては綺麗過ぎる
Man when it started it brought back the core memory of when I got my Toyota Soarer running🥰
Shoulda titled the video: “there is no way”
OMG LMAO "What's an Ugaduga?" Mechanic Life for the LOLS ;p I hope you showed her the video of the Ugaduga origin. Hope this build turns out FTW!
Call him...either blue boi..!! Or bluey!!! Great content Sam..!!! Keep it up..!! Happy that Blue Boi..!! Is up and running and moving too..!!! Yeeeaaahhh..!!!!!
Bro that color is sick!, its like a midnight purple but its blue that has some violet reflection!
Non stop smiling while watching this video, well done Sam.
you are the best person who save cars before they go to yard
Wow what a come back story! Love to see this strong survivor still alive and well
26:48 even other car guys were happy and went to celebrate😂😂
Rocket Bunny that thing and turn it back into a show car. You have enough drift cars and the pictures of this thing in show car form are simply beautiful.
Low an behold I know Gerald, he's a good friend of mine that was stationed over there with capt. Crazy small world. 😜 loving the content summit. Thnx
So happy for you on this one.
Reply to some comments :)
That's awesome.. a little elbow grease in there and you got your self a hell of a deal. Wish I could find a deal like this congratulations bud
IFWY bro honestly. This is some of the best original raw content I've ever seen! You couldn't make this stuff up!
That turbo sound 🤤🤤🤤🔥🔥🔥 and i mean, for $3500 that car is not bad at all, very happy to see the healthy engine 🤤🤤
I still can't wrap my head around 🤯 how much you picked that car up for. Runs, drives and light's work👍
I'd name it Lucky
The Mandalorian: This is the way
Sammit: THERE IS NO WAY
"Another Day, Another Silvia" would love to buy that as a shirt
what an absolutely beautiful project car you managed to save. the S15 is definitely one of my favorite JDM cars. cant wait to see what happens with this thing in your care, TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT!
Thank you that You give that Beauty an Second Chance and it even is running by itself !!
Got my e36 the same way sat for 8 years flushed all fluids added a MishiMoto radiator and replaced the old fuel pump started right up still running 2 years later and still a blast to beat on and enjoy
I'm overwhelmed by excitement Sam! I was thinking like you were this is to good to be true pinch me please! And she is such a beaut too! I can't wait to see how you give her your total makeover. Yes she is a steal. Glad you won't have to do to much work to get her to the vision you have for her. One awesome whip you acquired Sam. Str8 💯👍🏼
Wow its amazing to see S15 starts up for the 1st time since 2 years , 1st i thought the engine is seized but the head in the trunk was the damaged one 😜
that part when he said "No way"?
i felt that.
Now we talking wow look at that beautiful engine roar.. the beast is awake
That’s super BadA! Can’t wait to see this thing finished and fully rolling!
Amazing find!! Having family history from Fukuoka I have soft spot for the culture, history and have always loved the cars
That thing is Sick!!And Loud as heck bruh🔥🔥🔥
When I seen the thumbnail I was like wow that was fast. You hit the jackpot m8
I love everything about this video! I love the feeling of getting an old car fired up again, and finding all the parts that were put into it, I had that happen with a bunch of Mark two glis I had
I need to buy an S15 now, thanks for hooking me Sam!
Thanks Sam your vids are awesome and they’re the only way to get distracted from war in my country, thanks a lot, good luck
Congratulations...Bought a junker that turned into a jewel. Really nice....🤟😎👍

Sam.... There is NO WAY!!!!! LOL, I'm surprised too that it cranked up so easily. Sounds great, it washed up good too from a quick simple spray down 👍👍💯

This is the second time Sam found a gem under 5k. I'm blown away by this mans luck. 🙌
The Beast has awoken continue the legend
