Oh MAN this'll be a a weekly re-watch for me haha! Cheers for continuing to share stories about all sorts of cars, people and scenes! Can't wait to see and hear all the stuff you're going to cover in the future!!
If you could cover the Blitz R348 GT-R, it would be amazing, and perhaps while there, Daijiro Inada's career would be interesting too! ps. I'm totally getting a Mito Natto sticker lmao
Great video as always! Anything Altezza related would be awesome. Super cars and top speed stories are great, but these lesser known to the Western world stories are amazing.
That's why an American, CB Media moved to Thailand but even he doesn't venture across the boarder into Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia and Phillipines to expand his contents. Maybe he doesn't have the confidence yet bcoz of so many years of being polarized and living in United State of Cocoon 😊
@@Kurzawaa Why is seeing the Altezza in drift is weird? It's been around for ages and it shudn't be weird at all .... its the same like seeing the 89/90 Cefiro chassis in early 2000 drifting scene around Asia.
Gets third place for his first race Gets signed up with the Drift King Wins GT2 category at Le Mans Drives an open-wheel car like Senna Gives all this up to build an 80s Corolla What a legend
I had one in 03 it was beat up pretty bad but it took me to Florida, I regret not keeping it it was like a practical miata comfortable fun to drive efficient and with a back seat 20 years ago it was just a old car what a mistake
As soon as I saw this video I knew I had ro click on it. I would love if you made content more frequently but I understand if you cannot due to time, family, etc. Just know that I really enjoy these short and long documentaries about cars. Can't wait for the next one.
Great video! Id love to see a video on Revolfe since I feel the company has alot of influence behind the scenes and even more specifically Mizota and his 300ZX.
You're creating the kind of content I could only dream of when I was growing up. I've been in the JDM scene since 2001 and loved watching Akira's progress whenever it was brought up in Option videos. I wasn't fluent though and missed a lot of the smaller details, so your videos go a long way towards helping me understand what was actually going on. Thanks!
Amazing video as always. Can you do a video about the Sigma police squad that we had here in Greece? They drove M3s, M5s, 911 turbos, Mustangs, RS2s and a lot more cool cars.
Perfect ideo. I thought that somebody would finally bring into spotlight the reall origin of the initial d engine and got a ton of extra knowledge on both Iida's project and what it spawned after it got completed. Keep up the great work!
Can you make a video about the "gentlemans agreement" in the 90's in Japan and how and why it was created and how companies cheated it or worked around it?
I couldn’t make sense of natto either, until JC Pepino of Work Wheels told me how he likes it. Hot rice, mix the natto in the container until it goes kinda foamy, put it on the rice then top with a raw egg and some soy sauce. Then mix up everything until it’s smooth and a little frothy. It’s now my favorite breakfast 😂
Great work as always! I'd love to see you do a video on The Ghost Camaro and it's absolute lad of a driver Helge Meyer. It'd definitely be something very interesting to learn about.
Fun fact, the gt300 spec ae86 was basically cut and welded together with a formula 3 car, hence why it was so fast while being a terribly old car compared to its competition
Love the videos man, never disappoints! A great story for you that would fit right in this channel is “Big Willie” Robinson and the International and National Brotherhood of Street Racers. Definitely a tale that deserves to be preserved. Keep up the good work!
Can you do a story of Club RH9 and the related shops in Japan. Every time it is brought up it always has some mystique about the exclusiveness of the club and some really cool car builds. It feels potentially like a mid night club sort of thing. Or even a video on who the rivals of the mid night club would have been because those guys are rarely mentioned except in some of your stories I think. Anyways, I love the videos and the effort you put in man!
Before seeing this I figured he owned one of the cleanest, well built AE86's on earth. Like it's to the point Fuses and and light weight batteries are what are raising power (a video covering that on Carprime exists). Kinda also shows what a beast Akira's engine is as now with modern electronics is Keiichi's AE86 just MATCHING his detuned engine.
I enjoyed the story on Iida, thumbs up for that! 🤩 But as for the 4A-GE, Respectfully, you didn't do as much research as I would have deemed satisfactory, 6:48 He bought a stock engine for just a few bucks out of a wrecked AE101, and it certainly didn't come with a dry-sump. Watch episode 4 of the workbox series you can see them taking the 20v apart, it's got an original stock wet-sump oil pan on it, stock internals, it's bone stock, it's even got the wrecker notes on it. They even said they'd only be using the head and block from it. And that's what they did, he threw the TRD catalogue at it (also covered in the series), which contrary to what you state, anyone could do because the TRD catalogue lists the parts #'s, you simply order them over the counter, and if Toyota has them in stock = Good to go. But, as it goes when buying tuning parts = Really expensive, then there's machining and assembly as well, race-spec 4A-G's are around 15-25k depending how few hours you want between each overhaul (a.k.a how much hp). Notice how he picked up all the goodies, still brand new in TRD boxes, something he wouldn't have to do if the engine already had the goodies in it, it would merely need washing the parts, change bearings and check the bores etc, overhaul. The point of the whole TRD catalogue was that anyone could buy a Toyota and buy tuning parts from Toyota according to the category and class they were competing in. Google and download the TRD Bible, you'll see what I mean. Same thing with GR (Gazoo Racing) today, who has taken the role of TRD (Toyota Racing Development), you get their catalogue and order the parts straight from Toyota.
As someone who dwelled so deep into the world of AE86’s, this is my first time hearing about Akira Iido. Thank you for this video, now my research continues
9:40 I don't think I've seen many cars pick both inside wheels off the ground from such a light kerb contact like this. I wonder if this speaks more to the chassis or suspension stiffness...
Loved watching this, entire video was perfectly paced and felt like it has a beginning middle and satisfying end!! All the archival footage is mesmerising to watch
I dont know if you care about german street car culture but if you maybe find some english sources on the Opel Manta community you will prob strike some golden stories, beyond the legendary car movie Manta Manta of course.
Since we speak about important people collaborating with best motoring, It will be amazing a video about MAX Orido and his personal career, BM huge influences, personal garage, and brand (MAX Orido), just an idea ;o).
hey man, i got into, and mean REALLY INTO motorsports and cars and tuning and all that just last month when i decided to watch initial d while drunk. The morning after this video popped on my recommendations and THIS started my spiral actually. My friend is a hardcore enthusiast (well he has a serious sim rig and he loved motorsports since time immemorial) and he helped me with getting to know F1, rally, touge, everything, but this video man. I fucking love it the most. Not just because of the 86 (but of course thats a big part of it), but because of the 2000s footage and the non serious storyline from a very talented racer. Im a huge sucker of 2000s japan footage, and you got this niche subculture to go along with it, then you briefly try natto, thats funny as hell. I love this video to bits. Thank you, this is really great.
For story ideas: The racers of Mulholland of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. The big story was Chris Banning’s RSR Porsche 911 that was purpose built for racing the mountain at night. Chris Banning wrote a book called The Mulholland Experience that shares his and his friends experiences racing Mulholland. The history of Mulholland alone is very interesting. James Dean loved to open up his Porsche on it back in the 50’s when the highway was sparsely used. Love all of your stories! Thought this could be an interesting topic!
This was an awesome video/topic to cover, I love learning about some of the lesser known people and cars of Japanese car culture, keep up the great work!
Love the video, I have a big passion for cars and I have read lots of car magazines from "max power " "revs" "redline" "fast car" but my favourite was "honda tuning" the drag racing story's of Honda's and interviews with car builders and racers was what made me keep on reading time and again the same article. Your video is the evolution of car magazines for me and I will be subscribing
Great vid, I only recently started watching Hot Version, interesting to see what Orido and DK did in their younger years. Maybe Getaway in Stockholm? That was an amazing video.
Excellent video as always. Interesting to see how car culture in Japan is just so amazing. I’ve just watched a video by Larry Chen on Hagerty’s channel about Ide-san from Idling power. He would be an interesting chap to do a video about.
You should do a video on the Daytona Prototype that raced in Super GT, the Mooncraft Shiden RT-16. Or a video about Super GT in general. Or something about the Priuses that ran in the GT300 class. Really anything Super GT would be great, I personally think it's the most underrated racing series in the world. I really wish it were easier to watch here in the US
congrats on the 50k channel brother! i was looking for your channel after seeing the time attack videos i watched before and found it again. deserve millions of subs
OMG! When I was17 on Puerto Rico I had a 1989 civicSI hatchback and on the quest for horse power on the first text run right after I turbo it my hood pop open just like the 86… the solution was chipper to buy a hole new body cause it broke the sunroof and bended the top
I have a 1998 Acura integra I've been building for 6 years. have a couple of SCCA sanctioned track days with in Spokane. I bought a 1988 Toyota supra turbo model 2 years ago. I live in mountains 20 miles south of Canada in Washington state. my Intergra is the fastest mountain car I've ever had. I fly through mountain passes running 100mph or faster down hill the whole time. I run the republic pass in 30 minutes, normally an hour long trip. go from 5800 ft at the top of the pass itself down to 3000ft at the bottom. I want to find some one to run me downhill one time.
THEY ARE SELLING IT NEEW? I CAN GET MY DREAM CAR WITH AM SEMI ELECTRIC CAR AND ACTUALY DRIVE MY DREAM CAR BUT SAFER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? sadly no sexy engine but STILL?? I CAN GET IT WITHOUT SPENDING LIKE CHEESE ?
Man what an amazing video. Please can you do a video about the Celica GT4? The Celica has a massive racing pedigree and is responsible for the lineage of the Supra.
I got a possible video for ya Tyrell p34 six Wheeler. John Ficarra tells a fantastic story about it on vin wiki, but I'm sure there is more to dig into
Your videos are phenomenal and i truly enjoy them. Make a video about either Gatebil event or Gateway in Stockholm movie series or Ghostrider from Sweden or Georg Plasa and his influence on hillclimb racing.
Man love your videos! And also the music. Is there a link to a playlist or something like that? Would really enjoy blasting down the Autobahn in my audi with this music
9:44 omg this is the Avengers Of the JDM race car drivers grouping together, damn this is great stuff and I thought Id see all the Best Motoring videos there were
I have met and talked with Imai san from Bee-R several times and one time we talked about this AE86 and Mito Natto. He had lots of fun doing this project. One insteresting bit of information is about the team itself, even if Akira and Orido were "goofying" around for Video Option, off camera it was a serious street racing team. Ishikawa's AE86 probably become the fastest AE86 in Tokyo area and another member had an absolute beast of a Wangan AE86, specially fast on the C1. These cars all had millions upon millions of yens invested in them.
How about a racing history of the Toyota Altezza/is300 video? I loved this video with all the racing and build footage!!! Really interesting and extremely well done! I would LOVE to watch a similar video all about the Altezza, because I own and adore my own Lexus IS300!
Seeing this documented on one of the best youtube channels to cover cool car content in depth, I'm only a minute and and so excited to see the spotlight hit this car and driver because the original video, looooong before youtube, was rare, and finding another copy floating through cyber space proved nearly impossible until around 2010-2014 or so when reuploads and original copies became a norm to find in AE86 internet culture. The chassis welding was by far one of the best things I've ever seen, and led me down a path that allows me to do what I do now in life.
Oh MAN this'll be a a weekly re-watch for me haha! Cheers for continuing to share stories about all sorts of cars, people and scenes!
Can't wait to see and hear all the stuff you're going to cover in the future!!

Dude, after winning Le Mans:
"Yeah, I unironically might actually be good at this" :))))
You know it’s a good day when you see a new Hunter’s Moon video
Finally someone can definitively say what engine inspired the 20V monster they threw in Takumi's car
Definitely something on Top Secret and Smokey Nagata. Also, did his sister stop driving or ?
Man, I really love your videos! I can imagine how much work is needed to create such content. Keep it up!!!
sounds like hes used an AI...
Great video as always! Anything Altezza related would be awesome. Super cars and top speed stories are great, but these lesser known to the Western world stories are amazing.
Nice to see you around Squire! +1 for the Altezza, so much history but little knowledge in the west. Seeing it as a drift chassis is weird.
That's why an American, CB Media moved to Thailand but even he doesn't venture across the boarder into Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia and Phillipines to expand his contents.
Maybe he doesn't have the confidence yet bcoz of so many years of being polarized and living in United State of Cocoon 😊
