    Only HKS part I have bought was the HKS sport exhaust for my wife's 04 wrx. Love the sound and how it opens up at higher RPMs. Not crazy loud either, would definitely buy another exhaust from them.

    Yes the intake on the merc was necked down as a restriction for the class. I was kinda thinking, "I know more about some of these cars than the guy showing you", but then he said he's born 98, and im an 85 model, so I'll let him off haha. Cool as that you got to go have a look. I remember heading to Brisbane about 20yrs ago to see the hks r33 drag car run. Got ¾ the way there and it pissed rain and cancelled the event 🤦‍♂️ I was devastated

    The Opel is a Vectra. It's a Super Touring car - or Class II touring car - which was an FIA touring car formula used across the world through most of the 1990s. 2.0-litre normally aspirated engine (around 300bhp), sequential transmission etc etc. Shame you didn't look under the bonnet, they're beautifully built cars. They competed in Australia too, but not sure the Vectra ever took part (would have been under the Holden banner if so)

    This Altezza has a stroked and boosted BEAMS 3S-GE with the dual VVT-i deactivated, producing around 650 WHP. The supras where using the 3SGTE variant tuned to about 490WHP. Some debate they used a 503e, Toyota engine depending on the team.

      It was an ex- BTCC Car that HKS bought and used in JTCC. Only resembles the look of a vectra pretty much completely custom under the shell for BTCC. HKS had a cavalier too and later after the vectra retired for a few years until they came back with the mercedes.

    Hey Sam, @ 1:49 you asked "Is this an Opel" Yes it is. These cars were the GM2900 platform under the General Motors umbrella badged as Opel Vectra, Vauxhall Vectra, and In Australia and New Zealand Holden Vectra. In the US, this platform was reworked as the Saturn L-Series (L-200/L-300). So, for you, that would be a Holden Vectra.

I am not sure if anyone else has these issues, but I get a bit of motion sickness when I watch some of the more "blog" style vids. I don't know what you use to shoot the videos on but I know DJI makes some cool gimbals that helps with that kind of stuff. The Osmo works pretty well for mounting a phone on. Anyways, keep up the good work!

    Heehee, I really like the P10 roadster design they came up with. It looks kinda like TVR made something inspired by an Aston Vantage. (On one of their more restrained days) :) I wonder if the Cappucino chassis makes it excessively-teeny but it's very appealing. Maybe needs just a touch more detail to do with the taillights, but I'm really impressed a tuning company had that design talent around. :)
    Anyway, some cool stuff there, thanks to you guys and your hosts! :)

    The Skyline R33 drag race spec car was in Gran Turismo 2 and you had a 33% chance of winning it at the Tune Turbo Car No. 1 Cup. The Opel is the 2nd gen Opel Vectra which was mainly a 5th gen Honda Accord body with Opel drive train and interior and exterior bits made for the UK, Ireland, Austrailia, and New Zealand. If you look at the tail lights, those are 5th gen Accord sedan taillights.
