@@futurenickel702 I love the paint scheme inside the engine bay you really made this car yours! I cant wait to see what Sammit does to this car, hopefully you can send him some photos and videos of the car drifting when you were running it.
"Rocket Bunny kit was technically stolen" No that's outright theft, when shops receive these cars to be worked on, they do not own any of the car, they are there to provide it a service. The dude chopped up their kit and sold it for a profit when he did not own the car it was on, nor the kit that was put onto it. It's outright theft.
@@phlooke they’re made to order usually, you can find them once in awhile if someone changes up their build but you can order them directly from rocket bunny it’s decently expensive though
This place was pretty popular with US service men for about 4-5yrs... it's a 15-30min drive from most of the bases. Unfortunately this story is not uncommon. Guys get orders off island or have to deploy and leave the car with a popular shop for work, its gonna be awesome when they get back..... when they do get orders back to Oki in 6 months to 3yrs.... come back and everything - Shop, car, parts, money - Long Gone. I enjoyed and miss the time I was there but I don't miss the many grifters involved in the car hobby there.
@@drakularz1243 Yes, it's right up from Maribu Beach like your going to the Blue Cave. I'm not exactly sure when this became an auto shop. When I was on Oki in the 90s, it was a private residence. We found the place by accident as we turned onto the wrong road going diving.... I remember the place because I wanted to live there... lol. When I came back to Oki, few yrs ago, I was surprised when one of my Marines said that it was an Auto shop.... Anyway from what I remember there are a couple more homes and smaller businesses on the road leading where this property overlooks the cliffs and few more beyond it as the road loops around.
yup! I lived/ stationed there too. Late 99'- 2007. We know all those old spots and in fact he's right down the street from my old apartment! lol I miss that place but you're right...so many grifters!
@@therandomchannel-_- The place is already cleaned. You can search it up. There wasn't a workshop next to the house in 2011-2016. After 2018 the cars started to pile up. It's been cleaned. And japan is full of these places. Same in the USA with old cars.
Great collaboration here and for all the right reasons. Jason is a lovely guy, Been watching him for years now. He also deserves this further exposure. Such a good side to social media & RUclips sometimes. Amazing to save this S15 Sam 😎 👍🏻 Loving the new vids.
The thumbnail made me so happy! When I saw Jason’s original video on this car, I was hoping this S15 would become another rescued legend. Thanks for the great content boys!
The car looks amazing especially the way the other cars looked like, and if I had to choose one car to save in the video I'd probably go with the 180 or the 33.
@@jmccarsnmore1025 I'd most likely pick the 180 lookin like there isn't much work to be done... but I will admit I've like 0.001% car knowledge compared to sammit. So let's say that's the primary reason I'd pick that xD.
This video is eerily similar to the video you took a few months back of another abandoned shop that had all the graffiti painted on the walls and all the cars leftover! Almost identical layout which is crazy because it’s on a whole other island! Haha Nice scoop Sammit! Can’t wait to see her saved and back on the course rippin!
i can't help but notice you've got a nav dash in your new s15. Stoked to see whether you're gonna return it to its original state and do what Tommy's doing with the gauges or do something else with it. nonetheless, stoked to see another car on the channel!
@sammit Awesome car - and Jason's comment about video of the S15 drifting sent me down the rabbit hole to find it. This may be video taken the day that it was drifted and broke: ruclips.net/video/TvqioZLBaEM/видео.html The car appears in the gas station clip at the beginning…again at 18:07…and can be seen sitting off track with the hood up at 28:02 (and sitting in the in-field a few other times, matching the events in the video that Jason described seeing). It appears again @ 36:49 in the parking area. Regardless, can’t wait to see it on the track again.
to be honest i hope sammit finds this comment because i was trying to find a clip on fb of that moment but couldnt find it so i hope sammit finds this comment
Fly me out and I’ll work for you!!! 😭 You inspire me so much. I’ve always wanted to move to Japan and get into the jdm scene. You are literally living my dream 😅
I think those Coilpacks came from my jzx90 🤣🤣 good times, I need to go back out there. Glad the S15 is going to a new home, that thing was in so many magazines a few years ago.
I'm gonna show some love to that first gen Tundra behind that 86, an American made Yota shipped to Okinawa to do work is a pretty cool thing. I've seen imported Tundras every once in a while when Sam or Alexi is like cruising down the road and a Japanese apartment on wheels passes them, and I also found someone on Instagram that lives in Japan with one, so its more common then I originally thought.
Wonder why the other owners of the cars couldn't just take their cars back after the owner of the shop ran off. You can definitely tell this was built by a US guy with the choice of parts. Surprised to see a Dakota Digital gps speed sensor on there, that's some boomer shit, but their products are quality. I used to be a dealer for those guys.
this s15 is absolutely beautiful. idc what anyone says. it's on bags too. OMG THIS CAR IS SOOO AMAZING. thank you for saving a jdm legend like this. one more thing to add though. please meet up with the original owner once this car is done just to show him the work and effort you've put into this beautiful car
Wow. I am excited to see how the story of that S15 will turn out. I just bought last month a corolla '97 in the Philippines. It was just stuck in a basketball court since the pandemic. Now, I am trying to learn to be a better driver and car owner. Thanks always for the inspiration Sammit!
Ayee I have those same ganador reps on my s14.5!! I personally love the way they look on an s15 front and have never seen anybody else rockin them ! Sick s15 dude !!
Man the s15 is my dream car. I got a built up ecoboost as I finally got sick of waiting for an American s series car remake and bought the closest thing. The only other rwd 4 cylinder coupe options here in the us are a Miata with an weak motor, a Subaru with an unreliable motor or a bmw with an unreliable motor. Seriously that is the coolest car ever.
I saw that car in that area back in 2019 several times just withering away in the field. Glad it's finally leaving to a better place and new owner who will bring it back to its glory!
0:04 yo dawg your hotel room reminds me of when i vacationed in Daytona Beach Florida, had a beachfront penthouse with a balcony and my balcony shades was always open so I had the Sunrise alarm clock that whole week I was there. Cool video Sammit
Hey all. So you’re not going to believe this. That same building right there where that shop was built was the former house of two of my close friends. We all lived in Okinawa and we would literally go to this house almost every weekend and on that same cliff where u daw the view of the ocean we would do bonfires. There’s a trail close by that goes down to the ocean.
when i saw the massive turbo i winced and thought "no wonder the engine blew. the turbo would be so laggy the shock of a massive build up of boost probably tore it up internally (or at least blew the head gasket)". good luck with the build Sam 👍👍👍
That was my old house back in 2013-2015 when I was stationed there on Oki. So it used to have a 32GTR outside of it. And it had an amazing concrete parking lot where the shop was. They destroyed it all to make that shop.
Remember ur boy had the oil cap in his pocket in the first vid about the car, it was off when you popped the hood for the first time, massive vent on the hood musta let rain in. He said he'd taken stuff off to stop it being stolen.
So the reason there is such a big hole in the dash is because the car might have come with something called "sat nav", you can search up photos and there's one video of it working. I own an s15 myself that has the sat nav option and its highly sought after in the market. I have heard that it definitely can work in japan with the stock sat nav system.
You should base your channel more on saving jdm legends. That's what ppl want to see . Your views always go through thr roof with these kinds of videos
Just watched Capt Two video where he hooked up his friends MK4 supra to it and got powered up. Great to know that this car will get a second chance at life.
What do you mean technically stolen, taking something which isn't yours and then selling it IS LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF STEALING. i'd find that shop owner somehow
I been visiting Okinawa for years as it's very close to Taiwan. Every time I'm there I see awesome cars. Now the other car is pick up that silver Evo that had rear damage. Keep up the great content.
Funny how Sam mentioned how "different" it was. Okinawa is technically part of japan today, but historically, it was its own Trade kingdom which had its unique cultural elements of china, thailand, and japan mixed in. It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago that japan colonized it
Hell yeah! Fuccin cut 26 is the shit! Dammit sammit! You hella came up on a gem! Watch out for the s ail under the hood. Lolol. Wow. Just wow! You guys are amazing!
I can’t believe you’re in Oki when my husbands not here 😭 he bought his 180 a couple years back from them and had been eying that Silvia each time we went up there.
This is BADASS...ngl tho gotta keep that purple flake interior & blue flake exterior going or something...like those 2 colors to keep it matched with the seats nawmean lol but yoo amazing!
Wow. They have a Chaser 93' there. And likely it's got a 2jz gte, considering cosmetic mods. I thought those old buckets are borderline impossible to find.
SAM REPAINT THE CAR BLUE!! You can do a reversed color yashiyo factory s15 that is blue with pink vinyl

Pink
I was just about to comment the same thing thank you ☺️
It's b16 or b21 blue very rare nissan color they did it on very few cars.
@@studmuffin97 thanks for this knowledge. ya learn somethin new everyday. Today, I learned this
That S15 looks that a gem in the rough that after being sorted out will become a real unit!

they could get the kit back aswell, because the guy that has it now does not own it

Yeah, even with these covid prices these vehicles still sit and rot away in Japan. Glad to see them get back to life.

it is a beautiful thing saving a cars life. Also great for the environment. The R33 would be my go-to restoration vehicle choice for sure.
We see our batteries we shipped out with the GP logo's on them, we know who purchased those batteries in Okinawa!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this bro!
Respect for making this happen 👏

Buys another*
One can never have enough projects.. my backyard is proof of that too..
Absolutely, full support to him. It's just such a trope for car people at this point haha.

fun fact i was the first person to do that "DLR" strip in the s15 headlight when i owned mine haha. cool to see
That shop looks so cozy nice place to hang out by the ocean view
excited to see what color you paint that thing 🤩

When you said Hachiroku, I was expecting to see an old Skyline, (insert face palm right here). Got it confused with Hakosuko.
What a gem!!
I cant believe that someone could just trow a value car like that..
That s15 sitting there like that crushed me. Glad he saved it
Looks like it was a cool shop. the location is crazy cool.. apart from the natural salt water probably not being great.
Really excited for this car. Can’t wait to see it running
Hey Sammit you could talk to the other owners too and maybe try to buy another car ,that would awesome
That car has potential so grateful my bro just save it♥️♥️♥️
Summit!! What is the waving hand suction cup accessories???
Can you keep the blue color on the car?
Damn!!! i remember seeing this s15 on a video! 🔥🔥
I think the s15 is an absolute steal with the way s15 have fluctuated these days. I hope we get to se this thing shred soon🤘🤘
When we lived in Okinawa, my dad had a 4 door hako. He also had a rx2 and rx3
Nice you have two S15! 🔥
Sam should also visit Fukushima but cars over there were exposed to radiation. Lots of abandoned nice cars.
