Squid my guy. I'm thinking you need to do a video about what all it takes to import a JDM beauty. Like breakdown of all cost, what to expect with the import process and taking delivery at the port. Just a thought 👊🍻
@@IdealMediaChannel I hope your importing a Toyota Caldina with a 3SGTE... LOL, tuning potential through the roof and also a perfect sleeper. I have a 4WD Celica ST185 with a forged 3SGTE gen 4 engine. I think 3SGTE is one of the most underrated engines. The Legendary Castrol Supra used it, instead of the 2JZ.
You guys should make videos about mods that increase your car insurance, don't affect your car insurance, and do decrease your car insurance. Would be helpful! Edit: I want a 1998-2002 Honda Accord Coupe V6 or 2001-2005 Honda Civic Ex Sedan as my first daily reliable car. 😅
My first car was a 2000 accord ex sedan but I had a 4 cylinder. But it still was a great daily just do regular maintenence and it will last a good while.
I'd argue that the 2GR engine from Toyota is very underrated. A supercharger and a few more mods will give you 400+HP from that engine. Don't believe me? Check Lotus out.
crown athlete, mark x are some fun jdms with gr engines. mark x even has a factory modellista supercharged 355 hp 2gr engine with RWD. still its basically non existent in the US @@IdealMediaChannel
Everyone talks about the big hulking 4 door gs but NOBODY acknowledges the Lexus Sc300. The mk4 supra before the mk4 supra came out. Same thick rod internals from the gte in every single non vvti 2jzge. The sc300 is an absolute banger of a car that can do everything the mk4 can do but better. Plus it looks atleast 10x better.
@@IdealMediaChannel if that's true then I apologize I don't frequent your channel but I've seen a number of vids across the last year or 2 so I could have just missed it. Im just disappointed this car is slept on tbh.
Can you guys make a cheap starter cars vid? I am about to get my first car and showed all the videos to my parents but they dont like them. How about a parent approved starter cars vid? just a thought.
Honda Civic. Toyota Corolla. or Rav4 / CRV if you need more versatility. Those are the cars parents should buy their kids. Best first car ever IMHO for an enthusiast, is a Miata. But your parents probably think it's "too impractical"
My gen 1 Mazdaspeed 3 engine blew up one night just taking off normally from a stop sign… that aluminum block and all the fomoco aka ford parts under the hood means headaches for days
@@IdealMediaChannel I do beat myself up though of getting rid of my 89 fox. Mother gave it to me for my senior year but was embarrassed that it had a 2.3 motor. Oh the things I could have done with it...
Just keep moving forward and appreciate that you had the car when you did. That's my mantra. Otherwise I'd be REAL sad about losing some of my favorite cars. 400+HP '87 Subaru Legacy GL Wagon RIP
One day! I think if I made that right now not many people would watch it... but it's mostly a zillion 240sx's, a Z, a 400hp subaru, some off road stuff, a honda fit and now a JDM...
It's really friggen amazing that even though they are now 10x what they were worth a decade ago, the 240SX is still one of the best values if you want a lightweight rear wheel drive vehicle that is easy to wrench on.
This video made me feel good in the sense that I LOVE 90’s JDM. I agree with you on: GS300 & GS400 (I think Ryan Teurk LS swapped one several years back) The Impreza. The Civic. The Miata even though I can’t fit in one. The 180 aka 240 aka S13 aka S14 aka Silvia. That Chaser isn’t a bad look too. How about some JDM Trucks & SUV’s? Nissan Pathfinder (1990-95, 1996-98, 2000-2002.5) Hardbody Pickup, Toyota Tacoma, Landcruiser. You know I can’t think of any others. Hmm 🤔.
Lucky for me and others that live in the UK the cars on this list are everywhere and not that difficult to find, it's good that the US can now import them and have even more fun at car meets/shows.
You guys should pop off making single segments for the jdm legends of the 90's talk about pro's con's and then the modding option to make them ideal. You guys have some great videos and I love watching them just hope you will make something for us 3000gt VR-4/Stealth RT TT guys, we get no love since the 3000gt was not in any big movies and the car was sold in the USA so it didn't have the same draw of an R32 from the same time.
I have a 1995 1.6L Nissan 200sx. I've done a lot of cosmetic work to it but nothing much with the motor. I bought it brand new in 95 and still have it today. I found this video very helpful for selecting the next motor to put in it.
Bro forgot that Mazda 6 MSP exists💀💀💀💀Throw turbo to trash and make 300hp Na best that revs over 9000rpm. Its the only 2.3L duratec with forget crankshaft stock. remember that you cant rev it over 9000 with out forget pistons and rods.🤑🤑🤑
My entire collection right now is a Honda Fit. But Monday it'll grow by 1! As for all the cars I owned, we do wanna make that video when our views are doing a little better!
@Ideal Cars but the BRZ isn't? you talked about the 240sx also, which is similarly overpriced as the S2000 now... nice video anyways, was just curious if it forgotten
Well I hope you still like the vid! And you're Canadian! Just go to an importer and order a car from Japan ! You guys have it so easy there. I'm actually buying my JDM from Canada.
All the cars you listed were fan boi shit and you said hella expensive cars and didn’t even mention a better car then most of those stock, the s2k. you owned 8 240s so you of all people should know to make it a decent car you swap all the suspension to z32 and u didn’t mention that car either. L bozo
Sadly, back when I was drifting no one was really filming. I have a few photos but that’s about it. I was in a Speedhunters article once www.speedhunters.com/2010/01/gallery_famous_s13s/ and you can see it in its final form on my drivetrive profile drivetribe.com/u/DdLJXSjiyhnY4jhAXyacvp
Buy one from an importer is the best advice. Trying to import one yourself is a total nightmare. I'm buying mine from a Canadian importer. Process has been SUPER easy.
Please make a legit, step by step, how to import vehicles into the USA. And please don't just show from Japan. Please include Europe, Australia and South Africa!!!
Fiance had a 240SX new back in the day. Forever will think of it with the Probe, MX6 as a girls cars as back in the day only woman bought them. I guess because video games and drifting guys like them now but definitely when new a woman's car so don't get it. As for me with cars on this list had an 06 WRX Sport wagon new from 06 till 11. Was a ton of fun but worst car reliability wise ever owned. Put a motor in her, the electrical went crazy on that car and dash lit up like a Christmas tree and roof was rusty 5 years old. But yes garbage but fun.
I would have left out the WRX. Unless you’re taking the engine apart and putting in better internals you’re gonna get taken to gapplebees with just bolt ons. I’ve got the slowest GLI in my community and I smoke WRX’s without much effort
I love the lists but your missing one classic legendary JDM. Toyota MR2 Twin Turbo. Capable of 850hp with the right add ons. On top of that , you hardly ever seen one on the streets that’s how rare they are. Unlike the RX7 with their faulty turbo the MR2 are more reliable than a couple of the cars you listed on this video. 😉👍

who found my comment ?
I have a lexus is 250 and tho it's not fast but it's quick and I'm making around like 320
I have the IS300!
Would love to find out how to import. Their are a few I've been looking into buying
Stay tuned, probably first week of Feb I'll put a vid out!
Love the Mazdaspeed is getting some love
Always an ideal cars favorite!
Yes make a video on importing

Plz make a video on how to import Japanese cars !
Got to respect the red suns logo on the rx7
good list! but you cant give away the gs300 secret!!! the affordable 2jz
The real secret is the Aristo. That thing is a wild deal right now. If I had a garage I'd 100% buy a Aristo today.
It's really friggen amazing that even though they are now 10x what they were worth a decade ago, the 240SX is still one of the best values if you want a lightweight rear wheel drive vehicle that is easy to wrench on.
No way I'm paying over 15k for one. It's a good car, sure. But at the current price levels, you can just grab a 350z.
I remember seeing 240sx for sale for 2500 in good condition when I was in high school
This video made me feel good in the sense that I LOVE 90’s JDM.

Always forget about the mr2 🥲
how did you get through this whole video without mentioning the S2000?
They're just too pricey now. They've become collectors cars. I wouldn't modify one if I bought one.
