- 1:43Route 208 in Fairlawn, New Jersey.
- 1:45Other than window tinting, which is something we all need at some
- 1:47point, it was the ceramic coating that really caught my
- 1:50attention back when they reached out to us.
- 1:51This coating basically gives your cars paint extra UV
- 1:54protection while also making it shine.
- 1:56Wax only lasts a couple weeks at most, but ceramic coating lasts
- 2:00for a year or even longer. Honestly, this stuff is like
- 2:03witchcraft to me. Julian came down here one day to
- 2:05explain how it works and how it compares to wax and I was pretty
- 2:08stunned. They perform a full two stage
- 2:10Polish to the car beforehand just to make sure it's in
- 2:13perfect condition before applying the coating.
- 2:15As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
- 2:18protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
- 2:21tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic window
- 2:25tinting. Depending on your goals with the
- 2:26vehicle, Paint protection film or PPF is a great idea for those
- 2:30new vehicle owners that don't want to watch investment get
- 2:33littered with rock shifts. Also keep in mind they are
- 2:35capable of getting liveries designed and installed as well
- 2:38as full vehicle wraps. From protecting your tow rigs
- 2:41exterior to full livery installations on your drift car,

- 6:31You. There was an earthquake when you
- 6:33guys were leaving. Our plane got trained like 30
- 6:36minutes. No, no one cared.
- 6:38We all just left. My landlord just called me
- 6:40immediately and that that was the first phone call I got.
- 6:43And he's like, what'd you guys do over there?
- 6:44The whole building shook. I'm like that.
- 6:46That was an earthquake. That wasn't us.
- 6:49What do you? Immediately just blames us.
- 6:51What do you mean what? What are you?
- 6:52Doing I guess what's that mean? The.
- 6:54Lift fell or something. I'm like, what are you talking
- 6:56about? Oh, here, yeah.
- 6:58Not like your house. No, no, no, no, here.
- 7:00He's like, he's like, oh, that was an earthquake.
- 7:03I'm like, yeah, dude, I didn't feel it.
- 7:05I thought the plane was just bouncing.
- 7:06And then everyone's like, yeah, we didn't make out earthquake.
- 7:08I don't think we felt 3 second earthquake.
- 7:10Everyone freaked out. TikTok.
- 7:12I was on the toilet. I thought that was it, my Elvis.
- 7:15Yeah, dude, it came right out after that.
- 7:17Now my roommate was like, what the fuck are you doing in there?
- 7:19And I was like. Dumb and Dumber thing.
- 7:21You're just yanking it so hard the toll starts.
- 7:23Yeah, yeah, yeah. While I was on the toilet.
- 7:25Incredible crazy style type of jerk.
- 7:27How was that actually? Because we didn't talk to
- 7:29anyone. Or the jerk the.
- 7:31Earthquake Did you come always, always imagine?
- 7:35There's got to be someone that came right when that earthquake
- 7:37happened. Has to be.
- 7:38Probably the best one. That's got to be one of the more
- 7:42Halloweenish things. Frankie has ever brought.
- 7:45Someone had to have been like, right, right when it started, he
- 7:48probably thought it was him. Like right when he's he.
- 7:57Dude. Can we get back?
- 7:58What the fuck were you been talking about?
- 8:00Why are we here coming? Coming.
- 8:02Did you come in Japan? No.
- 8:04International. No fat.
- 8:06Bro that's crazy. You were horned up the whole
- 8:08time. You were like, I'm gonna drift
- 8:09on extra tests. That's why I kept crashing.
- 8:12I gotta be out to you, Frankie's.
- 8:13The long hair started looking pretty good.
- 8:17I, I, what I kept seeing was so the whole time I didn't talk to
- 8:21Frankie at all. He would chime in once, maybe
- 8:23every couple of days. Kind of fucked up you don't care
- 8:25about your friend, but continue. No.
- 8:26Why am I going? To ruin his.
- 8:27Time, but yeah, continue. Why?
- 8:29Why am I gonna ruin my friend's time?
- 8:31If I called him, he would probably be like, what?
- 8:34Carl, I probably. Would have said no.
- 8:36You would have said this call's costing me $3.
- 8:38Oh, yeah, you're right. I wouldn't.
- 8:39He wouldn't have even answered. We were in the same country and
- 8:41he wouldn't let. Me call him, I was just.
- 8:42But I was watching. I wasn't answering the damn
- 8:45phone call. Don't call me.
- 8:46Yeah, The second the phone rang, I.
- 8:47You probably forgot I was in Japan with you.
- 8:49I it doesn't matter. I did too, because I don't.
- 8:51Know how it works? It might charge me.
- 8:54Josh, since he booked his trip was like, yo man, we're going to
- 8:56Japan every week. Nah, maybe.
- 8:58Every day we get there, this kid just leaves.
- 9:01I don't see him for like 4 days. Five days?
- 9:03Yeah, first. Of.
- 9:04All. You said you were.
- 9:06He left. He drove to Abisu with Rich and
- 9:09Theo. He bought the cheapest Jay ZX.
- 9:11Josh, we're talking about this Josh, this Josh Roloz shop the
- 9:13cheapest. Jay ZX ever OK drifted for two
- 9:16days. Smashed into a wall.
- 9:18Fixed it, kept kept drifting. It looks like a Jay ZX.
- 9:21No, she stopped after I hit the wall.
- 9:22Yeah. Then drives back, works on his
- 9:25car for six hours and then drifts all day with 0 issue.
- 9:29No overheating, no transmission broken.
- 9:31Yeah, I got super. Low.
- 9:32He got 150 laps Toyota on Saturday.
- 9:35That's a good move, Toyota. It was a 240.
- 9:37Was it white anyways? Wait.
- 9:38I thought it was, you said. The Jay-Z X, we're going from
- 9:40Jay-Z X back to Osaka is 180. He got.
- 9:42Yeah, he had two cars. Now this kid.
- 9:44Two cars, two cars. Yeah, dude, you're.
- 9:46Was the. JZX White.
- 9:47Bro they're all white dude. You cannot sit there and tell me
- 9:50you're not rich after making those rich moves, bro.
- 9:55No, those are rich. White men moves.
- 9:57That was full. He was full Yolo.
- 9:59He was being brainwashed by Rich the entire time.
- 10:01That was a. Problem.
- 10:02It's so funny because I follow Rich too and I would click on
- 10:05what Rich is doing and then Josh is doing the same thing and I'm
- 10:07like, yo, Josh is really fucking get an.
- 10:10Actually Rich Rich didn't do anything.
- 10:12Justin no Rich got like 3 laps and blow.
- 10:15A bizarre. He did a, he did a bunch of laps
- 10:17at Abisu, but. He told me he counted it was
- 10:19like 6 there and three at oh in there's.
- 10:23More than three at the Hoku. So so you.
- 10:25Had an abisu experience, what was that like?
- 10:28It was like a small. One yeah, you do you play
- 10:30simulator shit or no, no, OK, so this is really.
- 10:34Yeah, I've seen a million videos, you know.
- 10:35Oh hell yeah, same thing. Tracks before I got there, but.
- 10:38OK, the SIM shit kind of pissed me off.
- 10:40Why 'cause you think everybody knows?
- 10:42Fucking cheating. Everyone's like, oh, you SIM
- 10:44right? When you drive right hand drive,
- 10:45just pretend like you're in your SIM.
- 10:46I'm like, I don't fucking SIM. Well, have you tried getting?
- 10:48You have time to do that. Dude OK so how was it cheating?
- 10:51I played every other day. What a tight schedule. 8:00 I
- 10:55gotta be out. That's 'cause you have, you're
- 10:57on a meet schedule. That's what you are, Yeah.
- 11:00Why did you look right at? He looked right at me.
- 11:02When he said. Meet.
- 11:03I don't know. He looked.
- 11:06Right at him, deep like. Shut up.
- 11:08Continue. What do you mean shut up?
- 11:10Continue. We're here just hanging out.
- 11:11That's the point of the pot hanging.
- 11:13Out. I thought it was questionnaire.
- 11:14I thought you asked the question that I give the answers.
- 11:17We're just talking, but you we're.
- 11:19Friends, fuck you. I know.
- 11:21How about a story? Oh, continue your story.
- 11:23Yeah, let's be real though, you would have went to a visit with
- 11:25me if you could. Have.
- 11:26Why would it? Why didn't you?
- 11:27Because. He had a car to fucking work on
- 11:28the entire time. Make cars the car.
- 11:31Yeah, they built set cars. What Car?
- 11:33Although Josh had a car to work on too, but.
- 11:36But he said he. Did not really.
- 11:39Josh was good to go. Yeah, Josh just had to do like a
- 11:41battery tie down and but what do you want to do?
- 11:44On. Full suspension rear to front
- 11:48like every arm cuz GK tech like helped us out yeah yeah and
- 11:51that's awesome. We got a bunch of.
- 11:53Arms, body kits and. Stuff.
- 11:54No, that was done. The body kits.
- 11:56The car was like body kit. And then I had to, I probably
- 11:58had like 1/2 a day on the engine repair stuff, like just making
- 12:02sure everything was good, putting all the vacuum lines
- 12:04back in. What was that one problem you
- 12:05guys had? Remember that that night
- 12:07wouldn't start. Yeah, but all of a sudden
- 12:09everyone in the shop got quiet and we were working on your car,
- 12:12but but your car was in the air for like 4 hours and it didn't
- 12:17start. I don't know what MI Finne did.
- 12:19He was under there with his legs crossed with his Crocs on with
- 12:22his Crocs like halfway folding off for like 3 hours.
- 12:24Did not get out from under the car.
- 12:25I know he ran a wire. Yeah, so he thought I don't
- 12:29know. So they had like a little piece
- 12:30of wire tied into the OEM battery wires, then also tied
- 12:34into another wire. So he ran anew by a battery wire
- 12:38to the starter and then took the fuse box wires to that also.
- 12:42Like he made it nice but apparently he said that the
- 12:45starter, which I've had this issue before, wasn't aligned so
- 12:49it was jamming. So that was it, and probably the
- 12:53battery cable. Yeah.
- 12:55It was a battery cable. So he probably popped the
- 12:56starter out and. Then he did.
- 12:57He said he took. It out and put it back in with
- 12:59he put a washer on one side of it so it's in crooked now, but
- 13:03it works. He said his exact words were
- 13:07Japan style. That was it.
- 13:09That's Carl's. Style so like it was a lot of
- 13:13like one full day doing suspension like front to back
- 13:16this is. All happening at the Thrash
- 13:17place. Yeah, Bull.
- 13:18Check the whole car. It's AG's.
- 13:20It's AG's garage. Yeah, he's the best.
- 13:22He's like called. It's AK Motors.
- 13:24Yeah. Word.
- 13:25It looks like you guys got a lot of the stuff done and it's
- 13:26crazy. Big shop.
- 13:28From what I understand coolest. For Japan, yeah, yeah, From what
- 13:31I understand too, when you go to Japan, you just work on your car
- 13:34in the dirt. So the fact that we had a
- 13:35facility with like 5-6 lifts, real tools, everything, model
- 13:39lifts. Frankie was.
- 13:39Complaining there was no work on Staten Island.
- 13:41There wasn't. One fucking do all your motor.
- 13:43Swaps on the street, Staten. Island.
- 13:44No, I have a shop. I've I've definitely done stuff
- 13:47in the street. Yeah, I was telling Frankie I
- 13:49met, I replied to Frankie's story and I was like, that is
- 13:51literally how I live every day. Were you, were you there the
- 13:54night that me and Julian were cutting like nuts and bolts and
- 13:58trying to build his coilovers in the vice, but the vice was just
- 14:01sitting on the floor 'cause it wasn't bolted in it?
- 14:02Yeah, seems how Yeah. I was trying to figure out why
- 14:05there was no work bad. We had a bench vice, but it was
- 14:07just sitting on the floor. So if you leaned on it the wrong
- 14:09way, it. Would just.
- 14:10It would just fall. Over the funniest thing to me is
- 14:11Julian was making washers out of like a piece of flat stock.
- 14:14Aluminum. All of something random and he's
- 14:17I'm like, what are? You doing?
- 14:17There was a heat show making. Washers.
- 14:19I'm like. What you had to replace?
- 14:20A Making washers. Shock.
- 14:22No, we just rebuilt his coilers. All four.
- 14:26What do you mean four shot? How are you filling them up
- 14:28with? Gas.
- 14:28No. No.
- 14:28The shock. No.
- 14:29They have to replace them. They had the old the old bodies,
- 14:34but they had to replace a shock. And then what was really cool is
- 14:38Chunky Bai gave him swift springs for all four corners off
- 14:40his D1 coat. Oh, that's what happened.
- 14:42And then we took helper springs off the blown teen coil overs in
- 14:46the corner and put those in there.
- 14:48We like, built really cool coil overs, like from just makeshift
- 14:51shit. I wonder how that car felt after
- 14:53all that. He said it felt better in his
- 14:55car here. Yeah.
- 14:56And it was also taller, built by me, just sitting on the floor
- 14:59with a fucking a centimeter tape measure that I can't read.
- 15:02We aligned that car at 8:00 in the morning.
- 15:04It looked like it looked like what I saw, what I was going to
- 15:06finish, finish what I was saying earlier.
- 15:08It looked like Frankie. You literally gave everybody an
- 15:11alignment. Every picture, we figured it out
- 15:13on my car. It was like me, Julian.
- 15:15Julian. And you did the alignment,
- 15:17Julian. Well, first of all, you didn't
- 15:18see how we did the caster adjustment, did you?
- 15:20No, I still didn't. We have a straight edge with a
- 15:23phone, So apparently to do cast a level no a degree measure.
- 15:28So you put the straight edge on the wheel this way.
- 15:30So first you measure camber, it was like 6°.
- 15:32So then that's easy. You put the straight edge here
- 15:35and then you put you zero out the thing with the wheel center.
- 15:38You go 20° this way, you measure the camber, it's it was like
- 15:417.3, and then you go back to zero, 20° the other way you
- 15:45measure with like basically doing exactly what an alignment
- 15:47wrap does. Yeah, 3. .5 Yeah.
- 15:51So. We do that and then you take the
- 15:53numbers and you get the difference and then you add 1.5.
- 15:57So the difference of that would be like, let's say it's like
- 15:593.5. You add 1.5 to that and it's
- 16:02like 6°. OK, So like how do you know?
- 16:05That Who's figuring this stuff out right now?
- 16:07Julian and Jimmy, how did the. Two the smartest people in the
- 16:10room. I got it.
- 16:11That's impressive as. Fuck no.
- 16:13How did you adjust it after you got your number?
- 16:17We literally would go, you would adjust it and then we measure
- 16:19it. Yeah.
- 16:20So the good thing about the GK tech ones are is it has, you
- 16:23know, like usually you have to adjust them.
- 16:24They're like a bitch to turn. They have a. 12mm Allen key that
- 16:28goes in the front. So we were able to do a quarter
- 16:30turn at a time and then measure it and then do a quarter turn.
- 16:33That's safe. But you have to measure, you
- 16:34have to do a sweep every time. So yeah, my car took two hours
- 16:38and then just through the caster, Just through the caster.
- 16:39But then when we put my car in the air, I have the measurement
- 16:42in my phone. I think it's 63 centimeters from
- 16:46the OEM frame hole. Like what you're hoping the
- 16:48floor is not bent on the car. That's the other thing, dude.
- 16:51We're doing all these alignments the shop.
- 16:52Floor is like we. Did it on.
- 16:55All the ramps, the little ramps we put the car on weren't even
- 16:57all the. Same.
- 16:58They were the same though. No, they're all the same.
- 16:59Ramps 1. Was they were.
- 17:00Than the other. They might have been different
- 17:02brands, but I think they were the same ramps.
- 17:05Shut the fuck up, Like what do we do with this one?
- 17:07You like should you like you. Really think you really think
- 17:09those ramps are made to an exact fucking?
- 17:12I I mean, I remember Julian was like, wait, you gotta take it
- 17:15off the ramps. And I was like, Nah, leave it on
- 17:16the ramps. And my car was great and he was
- 17:18all mad about it. And then we go to do his
- 17:20alignment the next morning and I'm like, it's on the ramps.
- 17:22I was like, do you want to take it off the ramps?
- 17:24And he's like, Nah, we did all the cars and then we and then we
- 17:30did the alignment and then he's like, I gotta lower the rear.
- 17:34I'm like, no, just leave it, it's fine.
- 17:38The car's tall. You like that shit.
- 17:39And he's like, yeah, you're right.
- 17:41I bet it'll drive really good. And you said he drove good.
- 17:43Yeah. You know what's crazy, though?
- 17:45So we had that centimeter measurement from the frame rail
- 17:48to the back of the ball joint. And there's like a little Oval
- 17:51hole on S fourteens and 15th. So he measured half the hole to
- 17:54there. We set Julian and Jimmy's car up
- 17:57like that, and it was maybe like .2° off 'cause, well, the caster
- 18:01is like where the control arm is technically, you know?
- 18:03Yeah. And crazy to think that you all
- 18:06had S 14, S 15, so that was cool too.
- 18:09So everything was me and Tom fucking adjusted the traction
- 18:12arm. We're fucking extending it.
- 18:14And then we're like, wait a minute, it's an S14I extended it
- 18:17originally when I put the arms together off the car.
- 18:19Easy, Yeah. So then me and Frank were like,
- 18:21oh fuck it, let's not do that. And then we extended it again
- 18:23and we were like, oh, let's extend it because.
- 18:26What do you mean do that? What are we?
- 18:27Extending on S thirteens to fix the anti squat problem without
- 18:30having a four track subframe. You adjust the traction rod.
- 18:33OK, but we do. We've never had S14 before.
- 18:36And then someone said, Oh no, we put it on the ground.
- 18:39And then we would fall back. And I was like, yeah, but this.
- 18:42And I was like, Oh my God, is that a fucking S?
- 18:4413 Your car here has the Yeah, the little adjuster to make it
- 18:48like an S14, yeah. So.
- 18:50So everybody got off the plane immediately turned into no,
- 18:55let's turn into mechanics again. Tell them how it went.
- 18:57No, no, we got off the plane. We went to the shop.
- 18:59We we didn't even see the cars. No, we each went to the shop.
- 19:02What do you mean? Whatever, you go to the shop,
- 19:03you don't see the shopping split.
- 19:04Up. Oh no, my my car you disappeared
- 19:07with. Rich No.
- 19:08The night we got there, we went. We went to thrash.
- 19:10I saw my car and did stuff like that.
- 19:13Then we went to the Airbnb and then we went out in Osaka.
- 19:15Yeah. So Jimmy's car was at the shop
- 19:18too? Or No2.
- 19:18Years ago. What was Jimmy's car at the
- 19:21shop? Then.
- 19:22So, Oh yeah, I do remember my car was at my car was at the
- 19:26paint shop. Jimmy's car was getting tuned
- 19:28when we landed. So they went and picked up
- 19:30Jimmy's car that night and my car brought them to the shop.
- 19:32So we didn't see the car till the next morning.
- 19:34No, wait, Jimmy's car still wasn't there.
- 19:37Dude, this is my. Car was in the.
- 19:39Middle of the shop. It's like a normal drift.
- 19:40Event this would give me the craziest anxiety like like I'd
- 19:43be like where's my car? They had so much shit to do
- 19:45between planning the event and everything and like, building
- 19:47all the cars. Yeah, you gotta remember there's
- 19:49like another How many cars? Yeah.
- 19:52Every. So me and Julian had full shell
- 19:56built cars from a fucking bare shell.
- 19:59That's insane. His car just needed fluids.
- 20:02Jimmy's car needed a bunch of shit that they just did tinkered
- 20:05with. The only thing that Jimmy ended
- 20:06up having to do is like alignment and they realized the
- 20:10turbo manifold was cracked on the dyno.
- 20:12So and then Josh's car was fine. He needed like a battery tied
- 20:15on. Josh didn't do a damn thing.
- 20:17I went through the wringer. Yeah, but here he's already been
- 20:19to Japan to set. His car up with like building
- 20:23stuff. OK.
- 20:24But just to make. Sure.
- 20:25I went through the wringer with my seat.
- 20:26That's what it was. I was.
- 20:27Trying to figure out what do you mean the.
- 20:28Seat What The bad thing was, you don't even know either.
- 20:31You weren't there. I don't have that.
- 20:33I cut the whole fucking. These guys fuck with.
- 20:36Seats for three hours because in Japan all the fucking roll cages
- 20:40are so low. They're all Cusco cages, so
- 20:43they. They're built for me.
- 20:45Yeah, they sit like so. I had normal.
- 20:47I had the home delete a right hand drive car.
- 20:50I cut the floor out and I bolted.
- 20:51Basically, did you bring that with you like that?
- 20:53I know people make that camera or top it's.
- 20:55Already hump deleted. I cut the whole I cut like the
- 20:58support. You know, like where you bolt
- 20:59your two front bolts? Yeah, that there's this like,
- 21:02yeah. Yeah, yeah, I cut that out and
- 21:04then I bolted the seat to the floor.
- 21:06And then mind you, there is nowhere to get steel.
- 21:09So we had a seat rail from AR 32 that we couldn't use, had
- 21:13quarter inch plating on it. So I just cut squares in the
- 21:15first night I got to the shop, this is what was.
- 21:17Going on and I just. I threw bolt in my seat through
- 21:19the floor. So that's what you did right
- 21:21when off the I'm trying to figure out no this.
- 21:23Is like day three. No, no that.
- 21:25Was day two happened in day one and two day one.
- 21:27Right off the plane, we went out in Osaka, yeah.
- 21:29Day one was no car work. We got nice.
- 21:31Food what you got? You got anything?
- 21:33You we got ramen. Saw cool cars in the street.
- 21:36Yeah, a lot of American cars we. Went to bed at like 3:00 AM, but
- 21:39every night, yeah, you don't even know because you are with
- 21:42us. Okay.
- 21:43Then the next morning, you were gone.
- 21:45Yeah, we left early, like 3:00 AM.
- 21:47And tell us about that, because I don't even really know.
- 21:49We just started Rd. tripping driving up to a bisu it was.
- 21:53Hold on Josh, get that shit like.
- 21:55It was the most beautiful just. Aim it towards your mouth like
- 21:59that, yeah. Like.
- 22:01This. Yeah, actually.
- 22:01It's significantly. Better.
- 22:04It was good. We just, we, we drove.
- 22:05We just started driving. The sunrise came up.
- 22:08It was like Japan in all its fucking glory.
- 22:10It was so sick. Isn't it like 10 hours from?
- 22:13Hands are so warm right now. What the?
- 22:16OK, so isn't it 10 hours from Osaka?
- 22:20Yeah. OK, so they had to drive 10
- 22:22hours? After a?
- 22:24After a. 18 hour plane. Yeah.
- 22:26So all right. So this is the thing, Rich.
- 22:29Rich bought a car out of Bisu because him and Yousef couldn't
- 22:32find a car that like they agreed on.
- 22:34OK, so he found that one, he bought that one.
- 22:37And he's like, I'm just gonna like stop in Tokyo and not go to
- 22:40Osaka, Not fly to Osaka and just jump on a train, go up to Obisu,
- 22:44pick up the car. And then he couldn't, he
- 22:47couldn't skip the flight to Osaka cause United said they
- 22:50wouldn't like honor his flight home.
- 22:53Oh, I don't know why I don't fly that much.
- 22:56I don't know how it. Works.
- 22:57This is when Josh and Theo started realizing how crazy Rich
- 23:00Whiteman is. Yeah.
- 23:02So he's like. Crazy and I was already renting
- 23:05a car because I thought that this might happen and rich is
- 23:08like, yo, let's just road trip up.
- 23:10He's like I'll let you drive the car to Bisu and I was like, all
- 23:12right, well, that's kind of sick.
- 23:13Like I would love to. I would.
- 23:15Love. To drive an S15 out of Bisu.
- 23:17So. So I was like, sure, let's do it
- 23:19like, and I was like, I wanna be back by Tuesday.
- 23:21Yeah. And he.
- 23:22Yeah, right. And then we get up there and we
- 23:26meet up with Grant and like Jeremy had the car there or he
- 23:31or he thought he had the car. He said he wasn't sure if it was
- 23:33still there. He hadn't paid storage on it for
- 23:35like 5 years because of COVID. And he's like, it might be
- 23:39there, it might not be there. He's like, it's probably not
- 23:41there. And I talked to Grant and
- 23:42Grant's like it's definitely there.
- 23:44He's like, they don't get rid of cars.
- 23:45They don't even know what's happening over there.
- 23:47Like so, so we went, we found it.
- 23:49We like talked to some power vehicles and like some dudes
- 23:52there and we went and found the car, threw a jump pack on it,
- 23:55cranked it till it had oil pressure and then started it
- 23:58right up. Like right up.
- 24:00And he said you could buy it. Yeah, and then I called him and
- 24:03it's like, OK, I'm gonna buy the.

- 27:47I was like this is. And it's a Suzuka that's kind of
- 27:49dope. Yeah, dude.

- 31:19you saw it and we had to wait again.
- 31:20So we're all sitting there waiting for the restart in like
- 31:22an hour but. I can't wait till drive to drive
- 31:25to 5 comes out and like, Frankie's gonna be in the
- 31:27backyard somewhere looking real NASCAR out I was.
- 31:31Getting rid of my farmer's tan. It was working.
- 31:33No, it was cool. Again, everyone else is wearing
- 31:36like business suits. Frankie's just wearing a tank
- 31:38top. Every sun hat.
- 31:39Everyone was there. So many different people were
- 31:41there. Yeah, the yeah, the sun hat made
- 31:43it out like I seen that and I was like, wow, Frankie looks
- 31:46like he's at final bout. That's pretty funny.
- 31:47Yeah, that. Was cool dude.
- 31:50The cars are fucking fast man. The way they go into that first
- 31:54turn. And the grip?
- 31:56Unreal. Yeah, it probably looks.
- 31:58And I was telling, well, I was like, oh, there's probably a
- 32:00braking zone. Like that's what I was thinking,
- 32:02'cause we were so close to the turn, I don't even think they
- 32:04touch the brakes. Like occasionally you see them
- 32:05touch the brakes. Sometimes they just float right
- 32:08through that turn. Oh yeah, I'm like.
- 32:10Dude, that's fucking. I think I can do that, yeah.
- 32:12I think no. Shock too.
- 32:13Yeah, no. Shock I.
- 32:14Was about to say, have you ever seen an SR20 or A1JZ at?
- 32:18Full tilt, you could hear when the when they go by, you can
- 32:20hear the downforce. What engines is it?
- 32:22Does it sound good again? Like what if you're?
- 32:24Pulling the cars down, you ever see, like the different models
- 32:27of the cars that they build, like Red Bulls car, car versus
- 32:29like, I never saw any like, differences, Dude, it's crazy.
- 32:33Yeah. 'Cause I think.
- 32:33Ashton. What is Ashton Mara?
- 32:35There's no they just build a new car and it shows the way the
- 32:39wind blows passing. It's fucking crazy.
- 32:41But real science. Red Bull is just shitting all
- 32:43over everyone. Like actually even a race.
- 32:46They got money, dude. They're like laughing people.
- 32:48What was your question though before Tom?
- 32:49Interrupted. What?
- 32:50What? He said to him about.
- 32:51What? What's the engine?
- 32:53Does it sound good again like or is it like they?
- 32:55Sound good but it's just 'cause they're tiny Turbo V6 hybrid.
- 32:59Motors, they don't sound as good as a fucking V8 or whatever the
- 33:01hell was. I I responded to Ethan.
- 33:03I was like NASCAR shit. I was like, yo, my dad used to
- 33:05take me that shit like Indianapolis and shit.
- 33:08We would go to there and that's all I could remember is like.
- 33:11Yeah, I mean, it still sounds like F1, but it doesn't sound
- 33:13like, you know, the pinnacle of F1 engines but not.
- 33:17A1 Jay-Z That's. For sure it's, I don't know, it
- 33:20was, it was cool, man. OK, so you did that, yeah, while
- 33:24while Josh was doing that and so.
- 33:26What was Tom doing? What was Day going to do?
- 33:28This is. All I want to know because I
- 33:29wasn't. Yeah, I want to know this too.
- 33:31What? Did you do?
- 33:32Probably went to the shop right away.
- 33:33No, we woke up at like 6:00 AM actually because we couldn't
- 33:37sleep. Me and Jimmy, we literally like
- 33:39one of those things where we just like looked at each other
- 33:41and our eyes must have woke up at the same time.
- 33:43I was like. That's romantic.
- 33:45You wanna get food? So we go get food, we walk
- 33:49around all of Osaka, like waiting for someone to wake up
- 33:53that we know. We ended up.
- 33:56I went to. What's that donkey, Donkey
- 33:58style? Are you talking donkey Horte or
- 34:00whatever? Hote.
- 34:01Hote. Yeah.
- 34:01Wait, what is that? Went there.
- 34:03They have a really crazy sex shop selection.
- 34:07You went there with Jimmy. Just you 2.
- 34:08No, no, it was me, Jimmy. Josh Jana at this point, Austin.
- 34:11OK, in the morning. Yeah.
- 34:14No, Well, now we're, we're at like 11:00 actually we're
- 34:17sitting there and isn't it downtown Bori or whatever?
- 34:21No, he said. That's the.
- 34:22That's the whole. Area Shopping.
- 34:24Area, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then this place is inside
- 34:26of, there's this guy, right? Like this.
- 34:29So, you know, like in New York, like you just know, like when
- 34:31someone's homeless and fucking crazy, there's like Japanese
- 34:34guy, it's like hard to be like, oh, is he homeless and crazy or
- 34:37is he just nice? He's just sitting 'cause there's
- 34:39like a total of like 14 homeless and he leans and he's like
- 34:42smoking his cigarette. He offers me when I'm like, no,
- 34:44I'm good, right? And then like he's just sitting
- 34:47there for another 2-3 minutes and like, can the camera see me
- 34:51and Frankie at the same time? No, but.
- 34:53This dude literally just like stares at us and then she goes
- 34:56like this and just shakes my hand or Jimmy's hand and just
- 35:04holds it and doesn't let go and then she goes.
- 35:08Thank you and. We're like, what's up?
- 35:10Yeah. So then we just walk away.
- 35:14I think we get food again. Japanese fentanyl and then we go
- 35:17to the shop. And now we get to the shop, I
- 35:19see my car for the first time. It's fucking sick.
- 35:22So Tom's car is pretty sick. I was like, the amount of work
- 35:26that AG and Yusuf did for me is like.
- 35:29Insane. Like 14 point.
- 35:30Five, you pulled that off. That's a nice, Yeah, good.
- 35:33Looking. Nardo Gray, it's a 14 point.
- 35:35Five that I. Like it's nothing makes sense.
- 35:38It should be ugly. I don't even.
- 35:39Like colored wheels like that. And I was like.
- 35:41Yeah, it's got look at. The line Grief from wheels.
- 35:44Yeah, look at Tom over here. Yeah.
- 35:46Fuck Tom. Actually, fuck.
- 35:47That doesn't make any sense though.
- 35:48Like, but like. If you wrote that down on paper,
- 35:49you'd be. Like those cars, it'd be like
- 35:51Gray without metallic. I'd be like.
- 35:53Yeah, there was like little bits of stuff to do to the car, like
- 35:56heat sleeve on some stuff, zip tie and stuff in the engine Bay
- 35:59making. Yeah, you know why it looked
- 36:01good 'cause it was built in Japan.
- 36:03But just like, think about it, you got there, you saw you saw
- 36:05the car. Like the amount of work and
- 36:08pride that went into that car by them is insane.
- 36:10They like when I saw these cars was whoever painted these cars
- 36:15did a pretty fucking good job. Like knowing that they're going
- 36:18to be destroyed. I was like this.
- 36:20These are pretty good paint jobs and the body work that was bro,
- 36:24they cut my whole front end off and well, did a new front end
- 36:26on. Yeah, it was pretty good touch
- 36:27forward, yeah. And do that shit.
- 36:29Bro AG literally cleaned every single part with a wire wheel
- 36:33hand wire brush. Who's AG?
- 36:35Yeah, you guys have mentioned this guy Keith.
- 36:37Yusuf like mechanic friends? No, maybe.

- 36:51I'm very appreciative of that. Like a lot So and like, you
- 36:55know, the stuff that was left to do to my car was all stuff that

- 37:01stuff we would have to film and stuff put on Jimmy's store,
- 37:05Jimmy's channel, my story, whatever.
- 37:07So I did all that, all the suspension.
- 37:09Yeah, Jimmy was filming like a maniac for at least 4.
- 37:11Days so you got to you got to be a part of that like what's that
- 37:13like like he Jimmy obviously has to record some content and stuff
- 37:18like that or you guys recording content at the same time you
- 37:20guys are like feeding a lot of this.
- 37:21We're just like, I mean, whenever Jimmy filmed videos, we
- 37:24just put in like, you know, like, I just make sure I'm
- 37:27relevant. Tom was basically in the video

- 41:00Like I I maybe it'll fucking swift kick you in the ass and
- 41:03finish your shit. It was kind of funny 'cause like
- 41:06when we, when we set the rack up, like Frankie wasn't really
- 41:11interested until he saw like once the rack was set up, you
- 41:14know, his like he like sat up and like started.
- 41:17Staring at the rack and. He's like, wait, wait, wait.
- 41:20He's really gonna work. When he was Larry Dog, he got
- 41:22really excited. Damn, this shit's gonna work.
- 41:24It was like 3 people lining my car.
- 41:25And then after that it was like, Frankie aligns this car, Frankie
- 41:28aligns that car. I was.
- 41:29Like every car had the Frankie under the car line, the strings
- 41:32my. Car drove pinned straight, it
- 41:33was perfect. Dude, you.
- 41:35Did it too until. It crashed.
- 41:37OK, so you got all the cars together.
- 41:39First of all, everybody again, it looked like there was just a
- 41:42bunch of people in there. I was so jealous the whole time.
- 41:44I'm like, if I just wasn't irresponsible this year, maybe I
- 41:47wouldn't be able to go. Don't worry.
- 41:48We'll be back. But so was that like the next
- 41:51day was bihoku? Bihoku so.
- 41:54Wednesday we were working on the cars.
- 41:56Wednesday was the day that most people finish their cars.
- 42:00So yeah, we only worked on cars for like two or three days and
- 42:02then after that it was, what are you laughing at, 3 days.
- 42:06You're flying across the world to be.
- 42:08You have to remember like. Thursday was a pretty busy day,
- 42:11yeah. Thursday was a busy day, but not
- 42:13for them. You did buy cars from across the
- 42:16world, so that's kind of. Yeah, but it's our cars.
- 42:18So like you could buy if I bought your car a few, like I'd
- 42:21work on it for two days too to fix it regardless because it's
- 42:23the way you like your car set up.
- 42:25It's your due deal. Like if I wanted to and I I
- 42:27could have just pulled up and threw wheels in that car and
- 42:29went and drove it. Yeah, totally.
- 42:30Like, you know. The fact that I hear you.
- 42:32Talk about I don't know enough about drifting to set up a car.

- 49:13dried piece of paper? No.
- 49:15Yeah, my hands are. Very used to being washed.
- 49:19Why would you wipe your ass? You just use your hand shot
- 49:22while I'm go to that. Wait, what?
- 49:27Tom is just such a fucking. Smart.
- 49:30That's what the toilet paper is actually there for you to catch
- 49:32it. You know you supposed to wipe
- 49:34your ass with one sheet of toilet paper, right?
- 49:36There's there's there's Mountain Man.
- 49:37And Vermont told me this. Yeah, yeah.
- 49:40You fucking put a hole. I'm never shaking, Carl saying.
- 49:44Put a hole. You put a hole through it like
- 49:45this. The one square sheet, you
- 49:47fucking clean it up. You know, clean it up with your
- 49:50finger and shit. And then you take the one toilet
- 49:52paper and clean your finger up. Boom.
- 49:54Let me see your fingernails. They got paint and oil on them
- 49:57right now, but oil? Yeah, it's oil.
- 50:00Anyway, the toilets were cool. It was like, it was like flying
- 50:03a fucking F16 every time you say yeah, yeah, but you couldn't
- 50:06read the instructions. Dude, you have to have used.
- 50:09The flush, I was like, yeah, because the friend was going to
- 50:14fucking shoot me stood out. I was so.
- 50:17Scared I was on the fire. Every time, every time we were
- 50:20walking around anywhere, we just like.
- 50:22If only I could read. If only I could picture it butt
- 50:29naked just like yeah cause one of them looks like.
- 50:33It would be the dude the. The seats were heated.
- 50:35That's what I'm saying is you definitely imagine you
- 50:37accidentally hit that bidet bind.
- 50:39I would. I have fucking started.
- 50:41I would have died that. Would have been the exact
- 50:44fucking. And then Josh rolled off in the
- 50:46corner. Yes, she got it.
- 50:48I got one at home, but like you do, yeah, fuck yeah.
- 50:51What the fuck? So what do you mean?
- 50:52You miss it 'cause I'm cultured. I.
- 50:55Was going to say you're probably going to get one.
- 50:56But I have one, yeah, but it's not as good as the Japanese ones
- 50:59are. What makes it good?
- 51:00The pressure. The pressure up your.
- 51:03House the Japanese ones always the water is like always warm
- 51:05coming 0. Changes it.
- 51:09Whoa, I would have to run. We got to go.
- 51:11Back for like, yeah, we got to go every Japan completely wrong.
- 51:15And we got to go back. We got to go back.
- 51:17Yep. Damn, Tom, we thought it was
- 51:19cold. So you got all the cars again, I
- 51:21think there's. A.
- 51:22Temperature selection. Oh, wow.
- 51:25I couldn't read. I feel like I should have sat on
- 51:27that side. What?
- 51:28I should have sat on that side. Why?
- 51:30Because the Front St. thing's behind him.
- 51:32That's fine. I am Front St.
- 51:34There's a skeleton behind you. Yeah, it's going to be Carl in
- 51:37fucking 2. Weeks, that's me.
- 51:39I walked in here and Tom was like, look, that's what you're
- 51:42going to be. Damn, it's not going to be for
- 51:45me either. Tom wanted to start the podcast
- 51:47without you. He did.
- 51:49He did, yeah. Meanwhile, I'm over here.
- 51:51I had all these great questions for you guys and I was.
- 51:53Like, I don't know if Carl's gonna enjoy that when he walks
- 51:55in here in the podcast. Or not and.
- 51:57There's just a skeleton sitting. There, yeah, there was
- 52:00malicious, malicious intent. If Carl wasn't here, we'd just
- 52:02be yelling about nonsense. We kinda have been for the bad,
- 52:06yeah. I don't know.
- 52:06What the fuck I'm talking about usually is one of the people
- 52:09screaming about nonsense I'm I'm usually trying to like.
- 52:12Tame I wanna hear about B Hoku 'cause now that you guys both
- 52:15don't do the SIM thing, so I know what the track kind of
- 52:19looks like and I kind of know what motion I feel like I would
- 52:22do. Crash.
- 52:23Yeah, I got in the car. My car.
- 52:25Mind you, my car made like over 400 horsepower.
- 52:27OK, I think it was fast. Yeah, I got in the night that
- 52:30you test drove it outside stack that shit was.
- 52:33Fast. The fucking front end just came
- 52:34right off the ground. All these cars, all the cars, by
- 52:38the way, except Josh's, had TDO 6's like stop transmission ready
- 52:41setups, top mounts, mid mounts. Yeah fucking all the cars were
- 52:45awesome. Yeah, SR20, yeah, they built
- 52:47those cars. Cars like.
- 52:49Yeah. Very well built cars.
- 52:51You could tell that a Japanese person built them 'cause they
- 52:53were well built. If an American guy built it, the
- 52:56fucking motor be crooked, the manifold would be cracked in
- 52:58half, everything would be overkill.
- 52:59He'd be like, all right, like. It's good to go.
- 53:02Yeah, you have like CD fucking yeah.
- 53:05Rear rear mount radiator. Yeah, rear mount radiator.
- 53:09All right, so. So you you get on.
- 53:11There I never mind you I've I've driven right hand drive.
- 53:13I've never drifted it ever in my life.
- 53:15So I get in the car, I'm like, all right, no problem.
- 53:18I kick it. I drift the whole like I linked
- 53:20the whole track, no problem. I'm like, this feels great.
- 53:23Come down this wall that now I did that once.
- 53:26I did it again just so I get the feel before I went up the street
- 53:30because like, you know, tree turn at Englishtown is kind of
- 53:33the same shit. Probably less speed.
- 53:34Maybe more speed actually. I think tree time's faster.
- 53:37Yeah, so like I'm used to this shit.
- 53:38Like we do it all the time, but never right hand drive.
- 53:41So. And every turn is faster, way
- 53:43faster, yeah. Because you're coming off the
- 53:45goo. Yeah, ripping by so quick.
- 53:49That's. But think about how fast you.
- 53:50Stand next to the wall. Yeah, but so mind you, like
- 53:56everyone flips there. Everyone, everyone I know
- 53:59flipped there. Yeah, like every fucking option
- 54:02video with crashing is there we. Were sending him to.
- 54:04So yeah, before. We so like I do 2 laps no
- 54:07problem. I do come around my third lap,
- 54:10drift the wall the turn before the wall, put it in 3rd gear,
- 54:13pin it, fucking whip it in completely like perfect
- 54:16backwards. And now I'm like, OK, I
- 54:19downshift a second and I'm like and I'm trying to grab the E
- 54:22brake and I'm like. Oh fuck.
- 54:24And I like lock up all four. The car starts like steering
- 54:27towards the wall. And I like, I just like, you
- 54:28know, like when you let go of the brakes and it straightens
- 54:30back out like I did that. I'm like.
- 54:32And then you caught it real quick.
- 54:33And no, I didn't drift. Like I just straightened out and
- 54:35I just did that shake you up for the rest, bro?
- 54:38I was like, I was watching Tom and Tom, you could, I could tell
- 54:42was scared of that. Well, no.
- 54:43So that happened. Well, no, but then you don't.
- 54:45I couldn't hit it after that. Yeah, well, so that happened
- 54:47after a while I came back in. So now I did like 3 or 4 laps.
- 54:51I go back out and there's this really cool turn that's like a
- 54:54jump on the. Back B to A Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 54:57I hit it in 3rd. I didn't see any of that,
- 54:58unfortunately. I tossed it.
- 55:00There's a video I can show you it.
- 55:01Actually, I think I sent it to you on Instagram.
- 55:04Did you? Yeah.
- 55:04So I I hit it in 3rd and then when you flick, I downshift it
- 55:08because it gets real tight. As I downshifted my shifter just
- 55:11like came out and I'm like, oh fuck.
- 55:13So I go back. Actually Jake, you know, Jake
- 55:16cats was behind me. We hit wheel to wheel because my
- 55:18car like went into neutral like whatever, no big deal.
- 55:21So I drive off the track. We put it back in and I'm like
- 55:23first gear, I'm coming now first gear, second gear, I'm like
- 55:26third gear and just not going in.
- 55:28I'm like no fucking way. Shifts in the fourth.
- 55:31Fine. I go to put it in 5th and it's
- 55:33locked out. I'm like, oh God.
- 55:35So I get back off. Now we just can't get it to go
- 55:38into gear and I'm like fuck, I just broke their gear.
- 55:41Like great. I'm just laughing because one of
- 55:43the questions was how did Tom not break a transmission?
- 55:45Oh yeah, I know. I did.
- 55:46I just. Don't know, but no one knows it.
- 55:49Probably just looked like I was a bitch all week because I
- 55:50wouldn't hit the first turn. He couldn't really hit the
- 55:52first, but I couldn't hit the first turn because I couldn't
- 55:54get in the 3rd to get the momentum for it.
- 55:56Like you needed at least third gear.
- 55:57I tried once to shift from 2nd to 4th and it probably yeah, I
- 56:01thought I can enter a fourth and just downshift back to 2nd, but
- 56:04that's what I. Told you to do too.
- 56:05I wanted. To see if that would work.
- 56:06No, I tried it, but sadly, like, I mean, I had a great time.
- 56:09I was, you can drift that whole entire track, the whole back
- 56:12section in second, but like I just couldn't hit the first
- 56:15turn. We're going back.
- 56:16There will be 400, not 350Z400Z gearboxes in our cars.
- 56:23Yeah, that's it's going to be fucking sick.
- 56:25That's cool. Apparently it's a new thing.
- 56:26There's like people or manufacturers.
- 56:28Don't tell everybody about it. You just told you just told the
- 56:32whole world that you. Can actually buy them from
- 56:34faction. Don't tell me.
- 56:36Yeah, buy. A pallet.
- 56:37Yeah, fucking buy a transmission.
- 56:40But yeah, so we're going to, they're going to fix the cars,
- 56:42they're going to be great. We're going to go back.
- 56:43I'm going to fucking. Did you run into Diego?
- 56:46There go to me home. He said he was going to say hi
- 56:47to you. Yeah, he.
- 56:48Came up to me and. I was like, make sure to say hi
- 56:50to Frankie so maybe we can have you on the pod one.
- 56:52Day I was like wow. He's nice people.
- 56:53I was like. You.
- 56:54Oh yeah, he did. Say he meant she was well.
- 56:55I said you're a lot more normal than I thought you'd be.
- 56:58What the fuck? Is that supposed?
- 57:00To mean you talk about him so much, I'm like, he's got to be
- 57:02crazy. Like we talk, everybody.
- 57:03His friends are Carl. He's got to be crazy.
- 57:06For him, and he was, he was interesting guy.
- 57:08His car was nice guy he. Drove the entire fucking
- 57:12weekend. Yeah, bro.
- 57:13There was one point like later or later in the day where I just
- 57:15didn't care about anything anymore.
- 57:17I thought I was behind him and I'm like, bro, fucking doring
- 57:22this shit out of this car. Like to the point where like if
- 57:24I gave it like a little inch of throttle, I'd just smash into it
- 57:27like 3 laps in a row and I'm like, this is fucking sick.
- 57:29We pull up next to each other. It's not Diego.
- 57:33I was like, he's like, it was useless buddy.
- 57:36So it was like cool, but. It did.
- 57:38I mean I. Thought it was Diego the whole
- 57:39time. Would you they 'cause they did
- 57:42it kind of. He did it kind of differently.
- 57:43His car was more on the stock end.
- 57:45He bought it through somebody else.
- 57:47His. Was pretty much what was with
- 57:49you, what was on in yours, Josh? His lasted perfect.
- 57:52The whole weekend it was like stock S13 Sr. tow, May cams, T28
- 57:58yeah, manifold exhaust. Normal.
- 58:00And he got to that track of that day early.
- 58:03Yeah, he got the drift bit. Oh fuck.
- 58:05I drove Saturday. Not only did he, I forgot, this
- 58:07motherfucker got to drive by Hoku 2 days in a row.
- 58:09Fuck you. Wait, you didn't do 2 days?
- 58:12No. Because.
- 58:14They loved the transmission. No, no, no, no.
- 58:16So we're, yeah, they're sponsored by Origin and Origin
- 58:18didn't want them to total their cars before the event, before
- 58:21the event because Origins event so, so like.
- 58:24So it turned into a big event originally when we were.
- 58:26Planning on this Japan. Thing it was just a practice.
- 58:29Day. Well, you didn't.
- 58:30Even have a car either. It was like, I think I was just
- 58:32talking about it. So like, in reality, this
- 58:34started as Josh bought a car and Julian had his shell and he was
- 58:38transferring the stuff from the S14 that he had in it.
- 58:41And I was like, fuck it, like let's get a car for me.
- 58:44And then Yusuf was like, Oh yeah, we'll like test all the
- 58:47cars. I'm really did snowball.
- 58:48Really. Literally he was like, oh, we'll
- 58:49test the cars my birthday. And then I think I told him
- 58:52about it and he's like, can I buy one?
- 58:53I'm like, let me ask Yusuf. And I asked him.
- 58:55He's like, yeah, fuck it, anyone can buy a car.
- 58:56So I make a post and I'm like, buy a car from Yusuf now.
- 59:00And Yusuf was like, dude, like 20 people hit me up.
- 59:02In my cars. And like, it just turned into a
- 59:05bunch of American guys buying cars and coming to this event.
- 59:08And it is. And then it turned into an
- 59:09event. Fucking yo.
- 59:10So it's going to be a birthday hangout.
- 59:12Fucking Jet. Motherfucking Davis was there,
- 59:15dude. Every night at the shop, just
- 59:17hanging out. Jet.
- 59:18Bro Walt Davis. And then apparently, like that
- 59:22night, remember the night that I stayed up till 7:00 AM when we
- 59:24had my car eight. Oh, yeah, we left.
- 59:26And then he just, he just, he just goes up to AG.
- 59:28He goes AG. Can I stay here all day and AG's
- 59:31like he's like? And then he went to bed at like.
- 59:354:00 or 5:00 at night AG AG literally goes wild.
- 59:39You you could stay. We're going to.
- 59:42Go. I was.
- 59:43Like, damn, AG literally gave him his shot.
- 59:45Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Like the trust, like you.
- 59:47Know what it is though in. Japan like which we've tested.
- 59:51No one steals shit. We left my my Fanny pack with
- 59:55all my money in it. Jimmy's fucking thing with all
- 59:57his money in it on the dashboard of his car, windows down and
- 1:00:00just went into places for like hours.
- 1:00:01We came back out. He left the Airbnb door open all
- 1:00:04week, all week because he only had one key, didn't lock it.
- 1:00:07That's that's good. You know, it's crazy.
- 1:00:10If I got home and my door was unlocked, you bet your ass I'm
- 1:00:14sweeping that whole house. Every fucking closet.
- 1:00:17Yeah, every nook, every cabinet. I'm looking in 100% in Japan.
- 1:00:21I just got home, just went to bed.
- 1:00:22Yeah, we just get in. There we go.
- 1:00:24That's. How I live, I don't dude that
- 1:00:26that must be like a here thing I think.
- 1:00:28Yes. Probably.
- 1:00:30We don't, Yeah. What do you mean?
- 1:00:31You live like what I. Don't know, like in the
- 1:00:32Philippines, it's kind of the same way.
- 1:00:34Like all our shit's pretty easily accessible.
- 1:00:36I'm like, did you forget that? Did you, did you forget that?
- 1:00:38I'm Asian, Tom. Another.
- 1:00:40Another. Yes, you did.

- 1:01:04Tom's so mad that I'm drinking beers, right?
- 1:01:05Now you guys might actually fight on this.
- 1:01:07Why, why, why is he so mad that I'm having beers?

- 1:01:48stolen is umbrellas. No, he said.
- 1:01:51Bike and oh, 'cause it said I thought first with bikes, but he
- 1:01:53they basically. Said what?
- 1:01:55This is a real. Thing we were going out and
- 1:01:57Yusuf goes oh, just grab an umbrella and we're like, what do
- 1:01:59you what do you mean? And he's like, yeah, just take
- 1:02:02take the umbrella. It doesn't matter.
- 1:02:03No one. Cares.
- 1:02:03What do you mean take an umbrella?
- 1:02:05You just take the umbrella from the.
- 1:02:07Let's just leave it in the water.
- 1:02:09He's like, yeah. And then we're we're walking and
- 1:02:11he's like, oh, you could just leave it.
- 1:02:12Yeah, someone else to pick it up and just keep using it.
- 1:02:14And you OK we don't we. Don't.
- 1:02:16I mean, it's Osaka, it's a pretty big city, there's a lot
- 1:02:18of people, so maybe it's a little different, but either way
- 1:02:22you're leaving shit out and people are OK with.
- 1:02:24That that's kind of sick, actually, that's next.
- 1:02:26Level in New York, there'd be somebody like that, really
- 1:02:28collected umbrellas. So like reset big bride, you put
- 1:02:32that down 3 seconds ago 1099. Another thing, there's no trash
- 1:02:36cans anywhere. Yeah, but if you.
- 1:02:38Do find them, there's no garbage, okay?
- 1:02:40If you do find them, there's going to be recycling for cans,
- 1:02:44bottles, plastic caps. How disciplined is it?
- 1:02:47Like you muscles, it's very. Disciplined, okay, I'm totally
- 1:02:50okay with the recycling thing yeah but like if you think about
- 1:02:52the no garbage can thing yeah but there was no.
- 1:02:55No. I need a garbage can but there's
- 1:02:57no hurry in my trash around all. Day, did you run into the law at
- 1:02:59all? Like, did you guys get in
- 1:03:01trouble for anything? Not really.
- 1:03:02Right. Somehow now.
- 1:03:03Yeah, I saw one. Well, I drove my car in the
- 1:03:05street. Too two cop cars and we drove 10
- 1:03:08hours twice. I saw a lot of cop cars, but
- 1:03:10dude, the culture there is like everyone is very very polite to
- 1:03:13each other. So like there's almost no reason
- 1:03:16to have a fucking cop anywhere. Like even dude, 10:00 comes, no
- 1:03:20one's saying a fucking word outside.
- 1:03:21It's it's dead quiet. Yeah, quiet time.
- 1:03:23Which I fucking hate honestly. Wait.
- 1:03:24Really. That's how it.
- 1:03:25Is I gotta piss All right? Old bathroom, No new bathroom
- 1:03:29yet. No new bathroom.
- 1:03:32No. But yeah, so I don't know.
- 1:03:34I I don't like the quiet time thing because we literally
- 1:03:36couldn't even start cars when we were losing shot.
- 1:03:38I mean, that's just kind of how what just.
- 1:03:40Slam that door. Through fucking just walks.
- 1:03:42Around like it's his, you know? No, but I mean you gotta respect
- 1:03:46that cause that stuff can only happen like that because that
- 1:03:50kind of discipline exists. Fun though.
- 1:03:51Like little things like that, you know what I mean?
- 1:03:53Yeah, but, you know, it's funny. So, like, I think it was more
- 1:03:56that he wanted to be respectful to his neighbor 'cause we pushed
- 1:03:58the car down the block and then started, we drove it.
- 1:04:01But like, but you wanna do the same shit if you had houses
- 1:04:03right across the street from you, If we were, if we had a 70
- 1:04:06drift cars. Yeah, maybe.
- 1:04:07Yeah. Like, come on.
- 1:04:08Like you saw how his setup was, but the house is right there.
- 1:04:10Yeah, no, I could see. But I think that was the same
- 1:04:13thing in our Airbnb, Like everything's like, Oh yeah, that
- 1:04:15was the 2nd, like 930 comes. There's no one talking outside.
- 1:04:19Like it was, it was nuts. New York, you're like, I don't
- 1:04:25know. I I I didn't really prefer that,
- 1:04:27but it was cool. This is sick.
- 1:04:29Like it it. It seems like you guys really
- 1:04:31had a good time. Yeah.
- 1:04:33Like I've never seen you guys so happy together.
- 1:04:35That was our first time, right? Your first time too, yeah.
- 1:04:38You had your first. Time.
- 1:04:39You know what though? The fact too, like Yousef, made
- 1:04:42it easy for us. Yes, like he, he made that trip
- 1:04:45very, very. He took us out the first night,
- 1:04:48showed us everything we need to know and then after that you
- 1:04:51could be on your own, 'cause you knew.
- 1:04:52Is this going to be something that is gonna happen every year
- 1:04:56like. Twice a year, probably twice for
- 1:04:58him, maybe not for me, but maybe once a year if we.
- 1:05:02I thought somebody was gonna let you drive a car.
- 1:05:04I they would. I told him he could drive my car
- 1:05:06but then the trans broke. They would have.
- 1:05:08Josh wanted me to drive his car. I here's the thing, I I probably
- 1:05:12would have a little earlier in the day, but I kind of just
- 1:05:17shook myself out cuz I was like, I don't three cars flipped or
- 1:05:19two cars flipped. Yeah, two cars flipped.
- 1:05:21And then I was like, try it myself.
- 1:05:23I I would have just liked to drive the track cuz I was there.
- 1:05:27But the problem was if you went out on track, you had 20 killing
- 1:05:30machines behind you. That was the problem.
- 1:05:31That was it. That was always a busy grid like
- 1:05:33like the straight hot lab. The straight was like, shoot.
- 1:05:36Shoot. Shoot.
- 1:05:37Oh, shoot. Hell yeah.
- 1:05:38Like if I went on on track, I would have been learning how to
- 1:05:40drift right hand drive in someone else's car with Naoki
- 1:05:43going 900 miles an hour behind me.
- 1:05:45I'm like, I'm not really trying to do this right.
- 1:05:47Now there wasn't a novice. No, no.
- 1:05:49No, no, it was all hot lab. It was so bad.
- 1:05:51At one point they were like, yeah, you're good to go out.
- 1:05:52And I pull out on track as a car is completely backwards, like in
- 1:05:56my rear bumper. I'm like, oh fuck.
- 1:05:58Like what the fuck? They sent me out.
- 1:06:00Like, I mean, it was sick, but I for me to go out, I just didn't
- 1:06:04feel right. I was like, I don't want to.
- 1:06:05Do it. I was fine.
- 1:06:06You would have been fine. I know, but you had a whole.
- 1:06:08Date of practice, that's the only thing and Abyssu was the
- 1:06:10best part of that yeah is that I could like learn right hand
- 1:06:14drive before yeah I. Don't know how.
- 1:06:15The fuck I did that. I had no practice at all.
- 1:06:17I went out and like drifted the whole track.
- 1:06:18No pro, but you even got a spotting lap.
- 1:06:21Yeah, You know, like I would have literally been like, all
- 1:06:23right, we're just going out. I mean, I would have drove
- 1:06:25through the 1st. I don't know if anyone's, I
- 1:06:27don't know if anyone saw my spotting lab.
- 1:06:30Did you see my spotting lab or no?
- 1:06:32Did you see Tom spotting lap? Probably I came or no, you would
- 1:06:36have known because I came around the first turn.
- 1:06:38And remember when they're like, oh, it's like a bad ditch.
- 1:06:40Yeah, I full blown drove the whole left side of the car off
- 1:06:43the track. And like it.
- 1:06:45Was like, oh. No.
- 1:06:48This I remember this right here. Would trip me out.
- 1:06:50The fact that the windows like right here, I'm like oh what the
- 1:06:53fuck. Yeah, that's weird.
- 1:06:54Like when you drive, I mean, I've drifted right hand drive
- 1:06:57like maybe once on the street, but it's like I remember
- 1:06:59slamming my hand like you did for the handbrake.
- 1:07:01For some reason I was able to toss that car backwards
- 1:07:04everywhere and not be phased. Is that going to be your car?
- 1:07:07Here you're going to be. No, I don't know.
- 1:07:09Oh, OK. But like, home, I feel like if I
- 1:07:11go over center too much or like angle too much, I'm like, oh,
- 1:07:13I'm going to fucking spin out. You were behind me at one point.
- 1:07:16Yeah. And you were backwards the car
- 1:07:17every turn. I my car couldn't do that like
- 1:07:19it did. It did like throw a lot of angle
- 1:07:21but not like your car. Did you spin out ever in that
- 1:07:24thing? Yeah.
- 1:07:25Yeah. Really.
- 1:07:25That's one I remember. I saw you.
- 1:07:27I didn't. See you.
- 1:07:28I washed out on first turn. Yeah.
- 1:07:31And then there was that 1180. After all the little
- 1:07:34switchbacks, there was 1180. And then it LED into the middle
- 1:07:39section. I don't know what you call it.
- 1:07:40Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one after the.
- 1:07:42Jump that one I spun on twice. After the jump, right?
- 1:07:45No. No, he's still on front.
- 1:07:46Still on front track. Don't know you're doing B
- 1:07:48course. Oh, I kind of heard about you.
- 1:07:49Like. No one.
- 1:07:50No one. Really drips that.
- 1:07:52Yeah, I don't know what to. Call it, I spun out once and it
- 1:07:54was because now I know because it's in Jimmy's video.
- 1:07:57He was behind me and he must have like hit my quarter panel
- 1:08:00as I transitioned and it just like it gave me a little extra
- 1:08:03Jimmy. Jimmy got real fucking good in
- 1:08:04that car. Yeah, fast.
- 1:08:06Yeah. Now he learned that like B
- 1:08:07knuckle and S14 control arm and simple setup is like the way.
- 1:08:11Oh dude. I want to change my car
- 1:08:12completely. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:14And if everyone needs wait, what is your car?
- 1:08:15Your car's not crazy. It's like it's a Miata 30
- 1:08:19extended over. Are you talking?
- 1:08:20About the Miata. No, no, that's 14.
- 1:08:23When did you drive the last? 1366 years ago.
- 1:08:28I just realized we're talking about a car that's here, and I
- 1:08:30was like, Oh yeah, that's right. Josh has.
- 1:08:32Yeah, that's Jesse. Yeah, it's got like really
- 1:08:34extended lowers with PBM knuckles.
- 1:08:37OK. And now I just want to I just
- 1:08:39want to put like maybe 10 mil extended arms on it being.
- 1:08:42Stock S14 Stock S 1410mm or the 15.
- 1:08:47Total over S13. Yeah, total length, yeah.
- 1:08:51Yeah. So I want a little bit
- 1:08:53expensive. It's barely anything.
- 1:08:54I should stop telling people this stuff 'cause then S14 arms
- 1:08:56are definitely. They're gonna be you fucked it
- 1:08:58up right now. Everyone they know, they they're
- 1:09:01Tom's got 13,000 followers. They know all this shit.
- 1:09:03I know where to get them brand new though, no one else does.
- 1:09:06Rock auto Nope. Rockauto's never sold S. 15 I'm

- 1:09:19website. That's it.
- 1:09:20Fucking gone. He's right.
- 1:09:21I might. Price will skyrocket.
- 1:09:22They make them brand new though. Not Nissan.
- 1:09:25Yeah, but someone now pretty sure they do.
- 1:09:27Can't. You tried to find the part
- 1:09:28number for me, you couldn't. S13 they make brand new. 14 you
- 1:09:33and 15 you can get brand new. You have to get from a second
- 1:09:36party. Tom's actually mad smart with
- 1:09:39this shit. Like I'm believing everything he
- 1:09:40says when? You.
- 1:09:41When you bend 20 fucking control arms, you.
- 1:09:43Figure. Out real fast.
- 1:09:45We're gonna get into brand new ones.
- 1:09:48OK, so aside from the trans, we're you.
- 1:09:50Speed up to the the last day of the trip, Carl.
- 1:09:52So nothing else to talk about now?
- 1:09:53Yeah, that's it. Questions.
- 1:09:55Yeah. I mean, the track was basically
- 1:09:57the last day really. It's just 'cause like, I mean,
- 1:09:59everything in between that is gonna be like stuff I'm gonna
- 1:10:01ask about right now. Dude, OK, let me say.
- 1:10:05Like what else? I saw Naoki's first run, He
- 1:10:08ripped the whole rear bumper off first.
- 1:10:10Dude I saw, I saw him pulling out, you know, 'cause you had
- 1:10:12that little, like run up where everyone, it was so sick.
- 1:10:16You like, you could stand right where everyone was.
- 1:10:18Yeah. Pitting, kind of, or like lining
- 1:10:20up for grid. Yeah.
- 1:10:21So you see him coming out, fucking revving the engine like
- 1:10:23crazy. I'm like, oh.
- 1:10:24Yeah, now you're gonna start doing that.
- 1:10:25You're. Gonna see this shit I guess,
- 1:10:26yeah. So I'm just like, wait, I see
- 1:10:28him. So he's he's at the entry point.
- 1:10:31They wave him on, fucking rolls out second gear burnout all the
- 1:10:34way down, throws it into the turn.
- 1:10:36I'm like what the fuck is going on?
- 1:10:38And then comes back around, hits, hits the turn better than
- 1:10:41anyone has all day from the from grid.
- 1:10:44And then I was like, OK, then he fucking does it comes back
- 1:10:46around. Fuck, I have a video of it
- 1:10:48fucking rips by us. I was like, holy shit, I'm just
- 1:10:51filming it. It just enters better than
- 1:10:53anyone has fucking. But then what happened the lap
- 1:10:56after? I don't know.
- 1:10:57He sunk his whole car, like to the point where the hood was
- 1:11:00like the fucking sand was over his hood.
- 1:11:02Like he went, someone has a mad funny picture.
- 1:11:04Yeah, he dug. Like he must have been going so
- 1:11:06fast. It dug.
- 1:11:07It dug the whole left side of the car into the sand.
- 1:11:10Oh my God, it was. Was that, was that Alki?
- 1:11:12Yeah. And then the one I saw was but I
- 1:11:15don't know, there were so many burst.
- 1:11:17Cars and I can't tell the difference on.
- 1:11:19This. What the fuck was going on?
- 1:11:22How old is he? He was drifting.
- 1:11:24I don't. Even think he's better than
- 1:11:25anybody. He was driving like a.
- 1:11:27Car bullying everybody? Oh yeah.
- 1:11:28Dude. So he comes out so that he comes

- 1:12:02They just had fucking Isuzu trucks.
- 1:12:04Like, yeah, Isuzu trucks. What those?
- 1:12:06Are these they're not even as big as the ones we have here.
- 1:12:09They're smaller than MP Rs, well like and yet they stack two cars
- 1:12:12on them. They're all, they're all flat
- 1:12:14faced trucks. I don't understand how many.
- 1:12:15Of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:17The 326 car that was pulled by a it, it wasn't a truck.
- 1:12:22It was it was a high ace or something.

- 1:12:50sagging. When I picked it up the next
- 1:12:51day, it was like this high is. That when we zip tied it.

- 1:17:34I feel like I eat so much bigger, like I don't want to eat
- 1:17:37anymore. That's such an interesting
- 1:17:39thing. Because I on the way here I was
- 1:17:41listening to something on Joe Rogan where they're talking
- 1:17:44about how much food is fake in America.
- 1:17:47I forgot what the fuck they were.
- 1:17:48Talking about dude 100% yeah like.
- 1:17:51That's wild that you're bringing us up.
- 1:17:52I, I, I mean, I didn't think it was.
- 1:17:54Going to be that, yeah. This is not as sweet.
- 1:17:57This is probably not even bad for you.
- 1:17:58No, they can't have sugar the. Way they.
- 1:18:01Process the sugar. It's not artificial sugar.
- 1:18:03Maybe that's what Yusuf said, and he said there's no high high
- 1:18:06fructose corn syrup dude and anything.
- 1:18:09I ate a lot over there, right? And then I came back.
- 1:18:12You want more? I came back.
- 1:18:13We had lunch the other day and I I told Malcolm I was like, I
- 1:18:17don't even need to eat dinner. Like I'm good.
- 1:18:20Sorry, Tom, I'm just like venison.
- 1:18:22Wanted our fucking Oreo. You want more?
- 1:18:25Just give him. An give him one.
- 1:18:35I fucking love and also you're giving me mind back.

- 1:18:43Is it because I'm white? Has absolutely nothing to do
- 1:18:46with that. I just love you, Tom.
- 1:18:48OK. Hopefully everyone has dropped
- 1:18:51off so they don't know that me and Tom.
- 1:18:53Our friends. Now, our friends.
- 1:18:54Fuck you. It's 'cause we ate a little bit.
- 1:18:56We were just angry hangry before.
- 1:18:58You know, I was worried that the people at Juicy Platters would
- 1:19:01think I'd died. Yeah, right now your your
- 1:19:04everyday spots are like what? The fuck is Frankie they?
- 1:19:08Probably called your apartment and that earthquake happened.
- 1:19:11They probably thought you dead. All right.
- 1:19:14OK, what? What you got now?
- 1:19:15What you got now? Next.
- 1:19:17What do you mean next? What we tell what did?
- 1:19:19We miss there had to be something Lunch.
- 1:19:21It I guess ask the questions. No one hired a hooker or
- 1:19:24anything. No, no, definitely not.
- 1:19:26This is like grown up. This is like grown up.
- 1:19:28Busy about the trip? You definitely can order a
- 1:19:30hooker though. I'm telling you dude, Osaka is
- 1:19:34crazy. But no one did it.
- 1:19:38Everyone's grown up. Yeah, Wow.
- 1:19:40We're mature, Yeah. And responsible.
- 1:19:43I probably should have ordered a hooker, I guess.
- 1:19:46I thought you were gonna come home with the wife.
- 1:19:48That's what everyone said. You could have bought one I
- 1:19:50think. You probably could do that too.
- 1:19:52The shit gets weird over there. Well, no, but it sounds like
- 1:19:55everybody's super disciplined, so like.
- 1:19:57How they are but like, I don't know.
- 1:19:58It's just like I. Don't know, it's kind.
- 1:20:00Of that's why over there too. That's why it gets weird cuz
- 1:20:02after hours. Yeah, that's.
- 1:20:05Isn't it kind of pervy over there a little bit?
- 1:20:07Like that's a part of the culture though you can't really
- 1:20:10like. I don't think it should be part
- 1:20:12of the culture to take photos of girls dressed like.
- 1:20:15All the signs that were like, yeah, you will go to jail for
- 1:20:17taking what it say. Sneak photography.
- 1:20:19Sneak. Yeah, that sneak.
- 1:20:20Photography. OK, see, so that's what you
- 1:20:21meant by. Pervy.
- 1:20:22Yeah, it's just a little. And there's like, sex.
- 1:20:24Shops. Everywhere.
- 1:20:25That's what I thought you meant. Like.
- 1:20:26Not everywhere, but. There were, yeah, the the the
- 1:20:30creepo shit, that's. Also that like Dante Bori,
- 1:20:33whatever that was like like foreign or tourist area.
- 1:20:37Yeah, but there's a red light district.
- 1:20:39There's everything there's shit gets weird, so this.
- 1:20:42Is just as weird stuff in America.
- 1:20:43It's just spread out. More This tastes like Filipino
- 1:20:45Oreo. I guess the only.

- 1:20:50you, OK? I hate them.
- 1:20:51I'll try every Oreo OH. You hate it.

- 1:20:55Though I know that's why. I know there was weird.
- 1:20:57Shit why? Why do the American ones taste?
- 1:20:59Like there was pervy shit we saw.
- 1:21:01At least there's more than just the fucking snap.
- 1:21:05Photo or whatever, I think everything there is just a like
- 1:21:09a little bit. Oh, all the magazines and the
- 1:21:11seven elevens. Oh, yeah, there are a lot of
- 1:21:12magazines, yeah. Just.

- 1:24:16else said it. Yeah, I said the same thing
- 1:24:18about Theo, and then Theo started doing it too, and I was
- 1:24:21like. This guy speaks fluent Japanese.
- 1:24:22I do not I. Said thank you.
- 1:24:24Why do I feel like Josh definitely get?
- 1:24:26Weird, I that's the one thing I practiced before going.
- 1:24:29Yeah, he spoke. Harry Gotto.
- 1:24:31Japanese. And where you going like this to
- 1:24:33everybody just walking around. I had this kid.
- 1:24:37I. Had this.
- 1:24:38I had this young kid come up and wanted to take a picture of my
- 1:24:40car at at Bahoku. And Bahoku was.
- 1:24:42Like, and he was like, he spoke English.
- 1:24:45He was like, oh, can I take a picture of your car, please?
- 1:24:48And I was like, yeah, of course. And he, like, did the deepest
- 1:24:51bow. And I was like, yo, that shit is
- 1:24:53why. Was that the kidney?
- 1:24:58Though like so. It was like a cartoon dude.
- 1:25:01No like his head went back and shit like.
- 1:25:04He got he got whiplash. He was like, he was like full
- 1:25:0790. I was like, that was respectful.

- 1:25:16You know, I was like. Yeah, the head nod.
- 1:25:18Yeah, the head nod. Literally.
- 1:25:20I was like, that doesn't work. That's how it's.
- 1:25:22Supposed to be. Sounded.
- 1:25:25I feel like Japanese people understand that we're idiots, so
- 1:25:29they're like, they're like, OK. I, I feel like I don't know any
- 1:25:33culture is gonna just appreciate that you're appreciating their
- 1:25:36culture. You know what I mean?
- 1:25:37Like make an effort. Which is why I like tried to
- 1:25:39learn like. Really, though, like in New
- 1:25:41York, if someone tries to act like they're from there, I'm
- 1:25:44like, who? This fucking joke?
- 1:25:45Come on. You're right, though.
- 1:25:48You're right. Yeah, I hear you're like you

- 1:25:51They're like thank you. And they leave and you're just
- 1:25:53like. Thank you.
- 1:25:54That's. But that's different.
- 1:25:56Like OK, now imagine this. Now imagine.
- 1:25:59This I was waiting for. Tom to do like a bad accent for
- 1:26:01somebody. No, see, no, I, I can.
- 1:26:04What he's saying is not the same thing.
- 1:26:06You have to think of someone who's from another country
- 1:26:08coming here, like someone from Japan that's never left.
- 1:26:11And. Then they come in here and they
- 1:26:13and they walk up to you and they give you their hand and they
- 1:26:15look awkward and, and you shake it.
- 1:26:17Yeah, you're going to make fun of them.
- 1:26:19No, you're going to be like, oh, that's kind of adorable.
- 1:26:20Like you're trying to. Yeah, you're trying to fit in.
- 1:26:23Look at Thomas. OK, Tom might make fun of them,
- 1:26:27but most people would be like, oh.
- 1:26:28That's. Cool.
- 1:26:29You're trying to, you know, do what we do here.
- 1:26:32Like if they give you the left hand by mistake.
- 1:26:33Yeah, that gets. The fuck out of here, What the
- 1:26:37fuck are you doing? That's like when we make our
- 1:26:39Australian friends say dead ass. What do they sound like?
- 1:26:43Dead. Ass.
- 1:26:46Or or the I Spy song where it's like you're not even a fart.

- 1:30:08Me. We were rich over there, Josh.
- 1:30:10Yeah, we were rich. I know I kept buying cars.

- 1:30:15It. Felt good but I got home and now
- 1:30:17I'm broke. Dude broke as shit I was buying

- 1:30:34Fucking 400 questions, Yeah. Why is there so many?
- 1:30:37Why is Tom so fucking popular? They're all for Josh.
- 1:30:41For Josh. No.
- 1:30:42They're all. Actually, they're all for
- 1:30:43fucking freight, yes. No, I didn't drive.
- 1:30:47No, I didn't fucking eat McDonald's everyday.
- 1:30:49No, I. Didn't come back with a wife.
- 1:30:52Didn't come back with a wife, no like.
- 1:30:54We don't read all those. Just read them.
- 1:30:58Did Frankie? Did Frankie live off?
- 1:31:02I had McDonald's twice. All right.
- 1:31:04So there was vending machines everywhere and they were, they
- 1:31:08were like ¥100, which is like a dollar, not less than. $0.60.
- 1:31:13Bro shit. Came out hot out.
- 1:31:15Of the van I got a hot. Coffee and a can.
- 1:31:17I got a hot chocolate out of Vendee.
- 1:31:19How long do? You think they sit in there hot?
- 1:31:22No, he fucking heats it up right then and there.
- 1:31:24There's a little guy in there shut.
- 1:31:25The fuck up here. You go, Sir.
- 1:31:30Yeah, sorry. I, I don't know man, I thought.
- 1:31:34You're gonna headbutt the microphone.
- 1:31:35We went through the vending machines pretty fast, so I don't
- 1:31:38think they're sitting in there that long.
- 1:31:39Where? Oh yeah, true.
- 1:31:41I'm I'm saying we were getting. Shit.
- 1:31:44All right, you went to Hiroshima, you went out.
- 1:31:47When we went to Bohoku, it's like, it's like the middle of
- 1:31:49nowhere, right? It's the countryside.
- 1:31:51Hiroshima's not the middle nowhere, by the way, but yeah.
- 1:31:53Wait, no. But Bohoku, you travel.
- 1:31:55Wherever the fuck that was, you traveled what town that was.
- 1:31:58But yeah, Bohoku was say. Okiyama.
- 1:32:00But it wasn't Okiyama. No, it was like an hour.
- 1:32:02Okiyama was so crazy. By the way.
- 1:32:04They got the FD. Track dude, it was like Osaka
- 1:32:07but on a. Isn't it a little?
- 1:32:08Bit of calmer level. Yokohama is the FD track.
- 1:32:10There's a Okiyama. No, Okiyama is where we yeah,
- 1:32:13that's something is. There, I thought.
- 1:32:15Yokohama is where the FT track was.
- 1:32:16No? I think there is something in.
- 1:32:17Okoyama, but I don't. Know what?
- 1:32:19There's a race. There in Okoyama.
- 1:32:21What I was getting at is that there are vending machines, like
- 1:32:23in the middle of rice fields or whatever.
- 1:32:26Yeah, and. Like is there some vending
- 1:32:27machines? Yeah, like anywhere.
- 1:32:29Like perpetually powered by I don't know what I'm like, who
- 1:32:32buys stuff at these vending? Plugged into the floor.
- 1:32:34People working, it's like, isn't it like?
- 1:32:37Yeah, it's not like you're in a video game, but there is no
- 1:32:39vending machines, right? Theo kept saying it.
- 1:32:41The whole thing felt like a train set.
- 1:32:42They have food vending machines, I thought, like they'll give you
- 1:32:45like, maybe not. I didn't say shit, I saw.
- 1:32:48Food vending machines. Yeah, crazy.
- 1:32:50What are they putting out of those?
- 1:32:51I didn't really. Look hot, those.
- 1:32:53I was kind. Of scared can I get a hot dog?
- 1:32:56Like. Rice.
- 1:32:57I would love some hot dogs right now.
- 1:32:58Tom. Let's go.
- 1:32:58Probably. Comes out a full fucking meal.
- 1:33:00I. Don't know, it was cool man, the
- 1:33:02vending. Machines.
- 1:33:02Ask some of these guys, I'm going to pee too and then Tom's
- 1:33:04going to talk shit about. Me, if there's a question here
- 1:33:06saying what? What do I wish they had here?
- 1:33:08It's the fucking vending machines.
- 1:33:09Yeah, yeah, you know, 7-11. Why does Tom hate Carl so much?
- 1:33:13That can't be a question. That's the first question.
- 1:33:17Did Frankie hit the bidet? No.
- 1:33:22You're missing out. I can't.
- 1:33:23You didn't even get the full jet.
- 1:33:24Well, now that Carl's gone, why I hate him so much, here's
- 1:33:27here's Tommy from part shop. Max, did you get to use the
- 1:33:30traditional squatting toilet? If so, how was that experience?
- 1:33:32Well, we didn't use it, but we had opportunities.
- 1:33:35I think I only peed in it, but I think it would be a great
- 1:33:38experience. Oh fuck, I could have went that
- 1:33:40way. Yeah, that's the normal way.
- 1:33:42Yeah, I went all the way around. How do?
- 1:33:44You get to. There's a.
- 1:33:45Door over there. That's the fast way.
- 1:33:48You need maps to this place. Marry fuck, kill Odivia E36 and
- 1:33:53Z3 M clown shoe. Marry the clown shoe.
- 1:33:58What? Those things are sick.
- 1:34:03Tom, they're so expensive now. So what did you ask?
- 1:34:07That's why he went in the office.
- 1:34:08He got his phone. Yeah.
- 1:34:11Oh. Wait.
- 1:34:12Continue. No, no, you missed that one.
- 1:34:14OK, moving on. We're come on, give me a
- 1:34:20question for Tom. Why for me?
- 1:34:23What's your favorite color and why is it Nardo Gray?
- 1:34:26Tom, why? What is my favorite color and
- 1:34:28why? Is it Nardo Gray?
- 1:34:29Yeah. Is that the color of your car?
- 1:34:33I don't know. It does look kind of Nardo Gray.
- 1:34:36My favorite color is Millennial Jay Green.
- 1:34:38But didn't they paint your car like they they couldn't?
- 1:34:42Oh, so that was. So the car was that color
- 1:34:44already because the shop that built the car before we bought
- 1:34:47it was like a hack shop and they're super cheap.
- 1:34:52So they painted the car with like lacquer and like concrete
- 1:34:55instead of fucking bondo. But all the arrow was paint
- 1:34:58match. Everything was paint mesh.
- 1:35:00OK, So they just paint match to the to the doors on the roof and
- 1:35:02the trunk. OK.
- 1:35:04How many transmissions did Tom go through One and Jimmy went
- 1:35:09through two? We're talking about like
- 1:35:11gearboxes, right? Yeah.
- 1:35:12OK. Wait, what do you OK, moving on,
- 1:35:19Frankie, how happy are you right now?
- 1:35:22Scale one to 10. Like the happy scale in the
- 1:35:25hospital. Yeah.
- 1:35:26Like the paint scale, are you? Yeah.
- 1:35:28I don't know. When I was there 10 now 7 1/2
- 1:35:33that's. Pretty.
- 1:35:34Good five. They're pretty happy.
- 1:35:36That's pretty good. I think 5's a good.
- 1:35:38One every two days he goes down 5.5.
- 1:35:40Yeah, or. JDM.
- 1:35:41Wears the same. They're not the same.
- 1:35:43We talked about that. I I guess I'll just ignore the
- 1:35:44ones we already talked about. Can Frankie speak a sentence in
- 1:35:48Japanese? No, I cannot.
- 1:35:50He didn't learn. Nope, not a.
- 1:35:52Single. Not a damn word.
- 1:35:53Eat the talking mouse. What is that one though, son I?
- 1:35:56Don't know what? What is that?
- 1:35:58Oh yeah, I think it is. Yeah, Josh will figure it out.
- 1:36:01He knows everything. I don't, I have to.
- 1:36:02What does it mean I have to Google?
- 1:36:03Translate enjoy your food. We're like enjoy your meal.
- 1:36:07Who was the horniest on the trip, Josh or Josh or Jimmy?
- 1:36:11Probably Josh. No, I I meant Tom or Jimmy.
- 1:36:15Sorry Tom or Jimmy, because they they never.
- 1:36:18Well Jimmy drove there before. Oh, oh, we're talking about
- 1:36:21driving. Yeah, we're not talking about.
- 1:36:23Oh, how's the same I'm talking about?
- 1:36:25OK, Yeah, yeah, I was probably really excited to drive.
- 1:36:28How are you? How?
- 1:36:28Are you? Are we talking about driving?
- 1:36:31I hope so. I don't know who why this guy
- 1:36:34would want to ask about your sexual lives.
- 1:36:36What if they were? I was really excited to drive,
- 1:36:39yeah. Yeah, I was.
- 1:36:40I was. I was excited enough to leave
- 1:36:42Osaka, I think. Rich too.
- 1:36:44Rich really wanted to. Yeah.
- 1:36:45Drive me. So why do you hate S14 Front,
- 1:36:49Tom? What?
- 1:36:51Oh, front the front of your car? I think that's 15 point
- 1:36:55fourteens or sick as fuck. That's why I did it.
- 1:36:59They just don't age well in America.
- 1:37:00So the fact we did it there at six and I'm going to do it here.
- 1:37:03The the rear window kills me, not the the rear quarter.
- 1:37:07Glass, the rear quarter, yeah, 'cause.
- 1:37:08It's like the only reason I don't like it.
- 1:37:10Cause an S15 is so much better. Tom's did look good though, and
- 1:37:12I think it has something to do with the color maybe, I don't
- 1:37:14know. I don't know what I think it is
- 1:37:16just 'cause it was built in Japan.
- 1:37:17Japan Magic. Would you have loved a Nardo
- 1:37:20Gray S 14.5 here. In America, I'm telling you, you
- 1:37:24wrote that down. On paper.
- 1:37:25But what if I sent that car here?
- 1:37:28Would it depreciate? Yeah.
- 1:37:29A. 100% the second appreciated. Yeah.
- 1:37:37Was spending all that money just a grenade of trans on foreign
- 1:37:40soil worth it? I love the way that's working.
- 1:37:42Who? Damn who?
- 1:37:43Asked who? The fuck wrote that?
- 1:37:44What's his face? Let me see your boy.
- 1:37:47Job boy. Fucking forget everyone.
- 1:37:49'S name it's it's, it's our friend that we had on here.
- 1:37:50Stevie, Stevie, it's our friend, not just my boy.
- 1:37:53It's your boy. Though that is my boy the.
- 1:37:56Fact. So.
- 1:37:57I think everyone's thinking at this the wrong way.
- 1:38:00Like we bought the car. Yeah, the car's there.
- 1:38:03Guess what? I can go drive in the car
- 1:38:04whenever the fuck I. Want the money spent?
- 1:38:06This yeah, like the fact that I could say it was fun broke yeah
- 1:38:10but the fact the car broke OK you know many times I drive
- 1:38:13cross country and Grenada trans here probably cost me more money
- 1:38:16like. I think it was, I think if that
- 1:38:18was your 5th or 6th trip, right, and and that was the event you
- 1:38:21were looking to drive and you blew your trans right away and
- 1:38:23there was nothing you could do about it, that would have been
- 1:38:25more devastating. But it was like the first time.
- 1:38:27It was a shake. Down.
- 1:38:28Now we know. Now we know.
- 1:38:29Sixth trip is crazy. Now we feel like dude.
- 1:38:31To fix it Second, at the end of the day, it's a typical car.
- 1:38:34Shit, Yeah, it just is. It is what it is.
- 1:38:36When you build cars on that level, you can't put like any
- 1:38:38hope in anything. Yeah, and the whole plan
- 1:38:41originally wasn't for this to be a huge event.
- 1:38:43Yeah, it was gonna be fun. Gonna be just try and build cars
- 1:38:46and. And maybe drive two days.
- 1:38:48Yeah, yeah. Next time, it'll all be squared
- 1:38:50away. So that was regular stuff for
- 1:38:52you guys? Yeah, I, I broke transmissions.
- 1:38:54Tom was trying to figure out a way to bring a transmission to
- 1:38:57the event. Yeah, before we even got.
- 1:38:59There. I mean.
- 1:39:00Yeah, like in your carry on. No, no, no.
- 1:39:03No. Jimmy's car.
- 1:39:03No. No, no, they didn't have a 6
- 1:39:05speed. They had a 6 speed.
- 1:39:06That's the other thing I could do.
- 1:39:07Transmissions in like aren't. The 6 speed aren't.
- 1:39:09The six speeds worse. Yeah, Damn.
- 1:39:12Well, so you were doing. It's six.
- 1:39:13Third gear's worse. Yeah.
- 1:39:15What's your? Secret to doing your
- 1:39:16transmission in 45 minutes? You just drop it on your chest
- 1:39:18experience and like roll it off. Experience.
- 1:39:21You just know how to finesse it. Also, the Masworks adapter kit
- 1:39:24has 5 bolts and they're all very easy to get to.
- 1:39:27Yeah, well, you probably don't put the top one in.
- 1:39:29There's no Oh yeah, we don't put that one in now.
- 1:39:32Stevie also asks when will Tom finally be Carl's ass.
- 1:39:35Never Josh Front St. Josh, Where's my throttle body
- 1:39:40gasket? What the fuck?
- 1:39:42Oh, he ordered one. Do we have that?
- 1:39:45Oh, this is to you? Yeah.
- 1:39:46I was like, was somebody? Can I read the?
- 1:39:48Questions. I don't know, Josh.
- 1:39:49Just message me. Do I give?
- 1:39:51No, no, do not, Do not. What?
- 1:39:53The. Fuck all.
- 1:39:54Right, let's wrap this thing up. I was ready to trust you.
- 1:39:58Do you see that? Do you see what kind of level I
- 1:40:00was on with you just then? Yeah, but you hesitated.
- 1:40:02Because I looked at you, my dad, OK.
- 1:40:05Come on, let's. Go How did Tom feel about edging
- 1:40:07in Japan? What the?
- 1:40:09Fuck is with the edging question?
- 1:40:10All right, skip this question. It was fine.
- 1:40:12OK, I drank soda. S14 Tim that I don't.
- 1:40:15They're not talking about that edge.
- 1:40:18Edging is like never mind S14 Tim Frankie is a pretty cool
- 1:40:22guy. I thought he was going to be a
- 1:40:23scary dude. Is this is that S14 Tim?
- 1:40:27Yeah, he's flipped. He flipped his car at the event.
- 1:40:30Oh, that was the guy. I met him there and then an hour
- 1:40:33later he comes up to me. Yo, I flipped my shit.
- 1:40:36I was like, that was you. That was Tim.
- 1:40:38Yeah. He's been a podcast listener for
- 1:40:39a while. Tim, what the fuck?
- 1:40:41He met Josh the first time Josh went.
- 1:40:43He sold his car to a. I'm assuming of my same guy,
- 1:40:46yeah. Yeah, S14 Tim.
- 1:40:48Yeah, there's one, Tim. What if there's 14 under score
- 1:40:51Tim? Didn't think about.
- 1:40:54That I guess alright, he said. Sorry for stopping the track
- 1:40:56when my car flipped over. Dude, I thought, no, he.
- 1:41:00Didn't was that the first car or the 2nd?
- 1:41:01After that second, that was the 2nd but.
- 1:41:04Don't drive after 20 gallons. The first car that he was. 80
- 1:41:09years old, dude, he had a Cooper.
- 1:41:11It was also, it wasn't a Mini Cooper, but it was like he had a
- 1:41:13fucking cane. He walked around with a cane.
- 1:41:16Wait, what is going on? What the fuck are we talking?
- 1:41:19About there. Is a Mini Cooper looking car
- 1:41:22drifting on the track? Wait, did you see what?
- 1:41:24The engine was there. Was actually two of them.
- 1:41:26The engine was in the USDM driver's seat with like a small
- 1:41:30drive like a chain drive shaft to the fucking back axle.
- 1:41:33What? Yeah, What Car?
- 1:41:34Is it was a mini crew, it wasn't.
- 1:41:36It was a rear wheel drive. It was.
- 1:41:37No, it was made in rear wheel drive.
- 1:41:39They made it literally. There was then there was like a
- 1:41:40Yaris that with a motorcycle engine.
- 1:41:43OK, that that. Ever.
- 1:41:44That was even smaller. They basically just put a
- 1:41:47motorcycle in there and power the rear axles with the bus.
- 1:41:50Yeah, every time I saw them go by, I was like, get this shit
- 1:41:52off the track, all right? I got my wish.
- 1:41:55It wasn't. Flipped.
- 1:41:57That's. I think I was 80 years old
- 1:42:00apparently. And then he drove.
- 1:42:01It home, yay. Fix it drove it home.
- 1:42:03He drove it home. Dude, it's different over there.
- 1:42:06Yeah. Favorite.
- 1:42:07It's a little bit. Different.
- 1:42:09It's like America, but a little bit different.
- 1:42:12America, but better. That's the saying we used the
- 1:42:14entire trip. There's so many questions.
- 1:42:17There's another question about the bid day.
- 1:42:20Are you acting different because your ass got blasted or what?
- 1:42:23That was one of them. I guess they really used it,
- 1:42:26right. Yeah, he's, he's already used
- 1:42:29to. Get Josh is already getting his
- 1:42:30shit blasted here. On the USDM side.
- 1:42:32State side, how was Bihoki? We kind of talked about that.
- 1:42:37How was switching places with Jimmy in Japan, Tom?
- 1:42:41I didn't I broke my trans too but I I didn't change one of
- 1:42:45the. Tracks Why does nobody know that

- 1:44:00He's like, oh, Frankie's like getting on a plane or something.
- 1:44:02I'm like, what are you talking about?
- 1:44:05He's on the same plane as I was, like, yeah, no, he never made it
- 1:44:08Honda. Like what?
- 1:44:10Yeah. Yo, he didn't want to come home.
- 1:44:12Bro when you said he. Was happy over there.
- 1:44:14When you said I got my bag coming back now and the guy was
- 1:44:16like, all right, last boarding, I was like, you should make it.
- 1:44:19But they're so stupid. We sat there for an extra 15
- 1:44:21minutes. How they are plain people.
- 1:44:23That is stupid. They're just, they don't like
- 1:44:25you. Like I could have made it.
- 1:44:26I I told, I told her I was like. Just anything to make me look
- 1:44:29bad. I was like, I can run fast and
- 1:44:31she's like no, no, no. I was like, OK.
- 1:44:33And then? She's like, yeah, you're not
- 1:44:34going to make it. I was like, well, yeah, now I'm
- 1:44:36not. But like, I could have ran to
- 1:44:38security and back and I would have been fine.
- 1:44:40But they have to do, you know, they don't want a crazy white.
- 1:44:43Dude, yeah, just spend another couple hours in.
- 1:44:45Open a hotel. I would.
- 1:44:46Have spent airport, yeah. It was like an extra 4 hours
- 1:44:49maybe. It wasn't even bad and honestly
- 1:44:51I think I had a better trip than you guys because my plane trip
- 1:44:54was broken up. I landed in Chicago.
- 1:44:57What? Yeah.
- 1:44:59So I had a layover like. I would hate that.
- 1:45:00Yeah, yeah, but how long was the trip to Chicago?
- 1:45:0610 hours? Yeah, we were eleven.
- 1:45:08Yeah. Oh, really?
- 1:45:09It's. Faster that.
- 1:45:10Way. Yeah, I took.
- 1:45:12Because the. Round so I got those sleeping
- 1:45:15pills I gave. Everyone was high as I gave one
- 1:45:17to Josh, one to John and I took two and someone said when they
- 1:45:21walked past us, Josh was like drooling on a random girl.
- 1:45:25Jonna was on top of him and I was on top of Jonna.
- 1:45:27We're all laid out the whole trip home.
- 1:45:29We did not fucking wake up. I am never taking anything from
- 1:45:32you, ever. That's.
- 1:45:34I bought in the airport. Perfect.
- 1:45:36Will Tom put two wings on the Hatch?
- 1:45:39No. All right.
- 1:45:42I I definitely tried a lot more things in Japan.
- 1:45:44Where's the footage? You'd have to give that a little
- 1:45:47bit, kid. Yeah, give us, give us a couple
- 1:45:49days, maybe. What the fuck?
- 1:45:51Just a little bit different. Just a little bit.
- 1:45:54It's like America. But a little bit different.
- 1:45:55Damn I'm so jealous you guys had such a good time.
- 1:45:58What? Difference do you notice?
- 1:45:59I'm happy though, you guys all had a great time.
- 1:46:01What difference do you know notice about drifting in Japan
- 1:46:05besides your first time driving right hand drive?
- 1:46:07That's a good question. Well the track is way more
- 1:46:10technical than anything I've like.
- 1:46:11Only driven E town though. Yeah, I have been on Club Fr
- 1:46:15with you. Yeah, I still think this track
- 1:46:17was more technical than that. OK, Tom, for me, nothing.
- 1:46:21No. I mean, just another place to
- 1:46:24flip kind of like I've at this point, I've driven so many
- 1:46:28tracks around like the world and stuff like between.
- 1:46:31It's a it's always hot laps, essentially open track.
- 1:46:34Which? Is like a little bit different
- 1:46:35than that. That is different.
- 1:46:36We used to talk about that all the time though 'cause we do hot
- 1:46:39laps at E Town. Yeah.
- 1:46:41But this, the setup that this is, is kind of like lock city.
- 1:46:45Is it hot laps always? Sometimes you.
- 1:46:46Do 2 and then off. No, but sometimes Lock City has
- 1:46:49a shit ton of people. Remember a final bat?
- 1:46:50This was like constant, like start open track.
- 1:46:54They never told you to get off either.
- 1:46:55Yeah. And they said they were going
- 1:46:56to. I was always.
- 1:46:57Waiting for it. It was like that at Grange when
- 1:46:59we went. Oh, like if you've been on think
- 1:47:00about it, though we just drifted.
- 1:47:01Do that. So we all did like.
- 1:47:03Five or six laps and got off, yeah, and then chilled.
- 1:47:06I had to. Feel like you have to.
- 1:47:07Like what are you gonna be on there longer than that?
- 1:47:10My oil pressure, my oil temp light would just start going
- 1:47:13peep. It won't hurt.
- 1:47:14Don't get up, I guess. But that's how it was when we
- 1:47:16went to Grange, though. Frankie, like everybody you
- 1:47:18could. Oh, you drive whatever the fuck
- 1:47:20you want. Yeah, jump on.
- 1:47:21Oh, it's cool. It's on you.
- 1:47:22Oh no, we went and Frankie went. Not with Super D, right?
- 1:47:26No, no, it was after it was like last year.
- 1:47:27If they have that again. Favorite Japan 711 Find food and
- 1:47:32other Oh, the pancakes. I love them.
- 1:47:34I didn't pay. They're hard to find, though
- 1:47:37they don't always. What do you mean?
- 1:47:38I had them every day. I had two.
- 1:47:39I had. 2. Packs always 2 packs a day. 711
- 1:47:42or Family Mart or Lawson and look for.
- 1:47:44Them every morning. You just weren't looking hard
- 1:47:46enough. No, I was.
- 1:47:46Looking where were you looking Well.
- 1:47:48It depends on where we. Were no.
- 1:47:49But like what section? By the by all the sugar bread.
- 1:47:54Where were you looking? Breakfast goods.
- 1:47:56Nah, it's like it's like a pastry section.
- 1:48:00The sugar bread. The sugar, bread, the sugar.
- 1:48:03Bread was a little bit further I.
- 1:48:04Feel like there's a whole aisle of.
- 1:48:05Junk yo, but so like the. Fact that you're calling it by
- 1:48:08the sugar bread. That's what they kept calling it
- 1:48:10and feels like I cannot eat sugar bread for another day.
- 1:48:13It's like I need real. Food they fucking warming up
- 1:48:16too, and there's butter and Maple syrup in them, in it, in
- 1:48:19it. Two pancakes like this I seen.
- 1:48:21Where somebody put I seen where somebody put like me in between.
- 1:48:28My favorite 711 find was just the fried chicken in the little
- 1:48:32pouch or the chicken, the skewers, the sticks, yeah.
- 1:48:36Yeah, there was fried chicken Nuggets and the little like fry
- 1:48:39hold. Oh my.
- 1:48:40God that shit was crack. All the food was good.
- 1:48:42Malcolm loves the 711 food here. I don't know what you guys are
- 1:48:45talking about I. Don't think he would like.
- 1:48:46I was a big fan of taquitos here but like it's too good trash.
- 1:48:50I just bought 300. This shit is garbage.
- 1:48:51Yeah, and everything. Here, but over there
- 1:48:53everything's so good. What the fuck?
- 1:48:55What the fuck was that? What the fuck?
- 1:48:57Was. The only one you hear.
- 1:48:59Sorry about that, my eyes were closed.
- 1:49:01Ohh shit my bad. My phone, my phone, my phone.
- 1:49:06Is the timer to end? No it's not.
- 1:49:08Why? No St.
- 1:49:09D in Osaka. Why No.
- 1:49:11Yeah, 'cause I'm not going to fucking jail.
- 1:49:14Yeah, that's it. That's not even the scary part.
- 1:49:16The scary part is that you'll never be able to come back to
- 1:49:17Japan. Well, no, they'll just put you
- 1:49:19in jail for a while. Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:49:21Apparently no one does that that much anymore.
- 1:49:23No, I mean people do. Street they do.
- 1:49:25Yeah, but they just don't talk about it.
- 1:49:27All right. Next.
- 1:49:28OK, OK, calm down time. Dude now.
- 1:49:30Now that Tom wants to go. Gotta go.
- 1:49:35No, we don't. I'm just kidding.
- 1:49:37Fuck you, Tom. All right, I'll just leave.
- 1:49:39I want to we could just leave. I want to have dinner with like
- 1:49:42I I want to go to work. How?
- 1:49:44Many times did you reach for the handbrake on the wrong side just
- 1:49:46once. I learned real fast.
- 1:49:47You punched it like. I learned.
- 1:49:49Fast one, hard one. No favorite car at the event?
- 1:49:55That fucking yellow 15 S 15, No, hell no.
- 1:50:01That was my favorite. The raised, the raised ass 180.
- 1:50:04The yellow 180 actually Jordy Gogo.
- 1:50:07Jordan's car. The white Gogo 180.
- 1:50:10I wouldn't say it's the car, but the way he drives.
- 1:50:12It that no, but the cars I love one 80s and then there was a
- 1:50:14yellow 180 that was just raised with like crazy.
- 1:50:17I'm trying to remember that 157 extremes.
- 1:50:20Slammed Black 180. Oh, that shit.
- 1:50:23Was cool VS KFS. Something like that, yeah.
- 1:50:27Slammed cars. It was sick, though.
- 1:50:29Are the old wave. They still look good.
- 1:50:32For you man, Look, this is all I got.
- 1:50:36Wait till you have to drive with Tom Frankie and your car is low
- 1:50:39and Tom's car is Tom's car and you're gonna not be able to
- 1:50:42catch up. I.
- 1:50:43Gotta tell you. I'm not driving with Tom.
- 1:50:45You know what, he says this, but the fact that this one time when
- 1:50:50I told him I wanted to do a solo lap and he jumped behind me and
- 1:50:53then crashed into me 'cause he spun because I thought I was
- 1:50:57doing a solo lap and I tossed the car in backwards at super D
- 1:51:00layout. That is not the only reason I
- 1:51:01won't drive with you. You're crazy.
- 1:51:02No, no, no. That is the reason I'm going to
- 1:51:05get behind you once no matter what, if you like it or not.
- 1:51:08I don't care if you're pulling off the line and I fly past
- 1:51:12everybody on grid just to get behind you, it's gonna fucking.
- 1:51:15Happen just to crash into you. I would drive with Tom or Josh.
- 1:51:19Yeah, Hell yeah. They're good drivers.
- 1:51:21Any tattoos over in Japan this trip?
- 1:51:24Yeah. Oh, you got?
- 1:51:25Oh that was awesome. You guys got tattoos?
- 1:51:27Where? Big jealous.
- 1:51:29At the shop. At EG shop the the Thrash Shop
- 1:51:33or Ek Motors. Yusuf's girlfriend did it.
- 1:51:35It's. Just the thrash racing logo and
- 1:51:37the event date, which is also Yusuf's birthday.
- 1:51:40It's the old, the old thrash. Where'd you get it?
- 1:51:42Sorry bud, I. Missed that, right?
- 1:51:49Here, it's sick. What's something you learned
- 1:51:53that you shouldn't do in Japan? Be loud after 10:00.
- 1:51:58Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely
- 1:52:00something. And don't get arrested.
- 1:52:01Litter, litter. Spit.
- 1:52:04You can't spit. No, no, no, no.
- 1:52:06I think you can spit, but you can't litter.
- 1:52:08No, you can't spit. Dude I thought the same thing
- 1:52:10and then someone walked right next to me and talk to Lugi and.
- 1:52:13I was like they were showing you just they were disrespecting the
- 1:52:15fuck out of you. No, they were spitting like
- 1:52:18crazy. Like they didn't.
- 1:52:19They were like, like, I was like.
- 1:52:21Jesus Christ, they're all smokers.
- 1:52:22Like God forbid you drop a fucking piece of paper on the
- 1:52:25ground. Like straight to jail.
- 1:52:27Straight to jail. All right.
- 1:52:28Last question. What?
- 1:52:34OK, not the last question. Did you feel the black magic in
- 1:52:37the witch's brooms? It's the brooms.
- 1:52:41You saw the track that was wax. They were so weird.
- 1:52:45Wait to to clean up the. Tire to sweep the track.
- 1:52:48I think that's so cool. Like, yeah, yeah, clean this up
- 1:52:51really quick. Everyone was out there.
- 1:52:53Yeah, camaraderie. OK, let's see some of that here.
- 1:52:58Was it worth it? 100% Oh yeah, absolutely.
- 1:53:01I would go back 100 times. I might sell my house.
- 1:53:04Yusuf. And yeah, Yusuf, you said that
- 1:53:08AG made it so easy though. There are houses for sale in
- 1:53:10Japan that are pretty cheap. He's not kidding.
- 1:53:13He's I know, I looked him up too.
- 1:53:14Cheap, and apparently it's just as easy for a Werner to buy them
- 1:53:17as. I was saying why don't we get
- 1:53:18like a a house for everyone? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:53:21Well, like a timeshare, Yeah, What the.
- 1:53:24Fuck. Wouldn't that be a good?
- 1:53:25Idea or no? I think so.
- 1:53:26Is it too much? We definitely need more rooms
- 1:53:28than the Airbnb. Pick the most American.
- 1:53:31Yeah, but we don't need that many.
- 1:53:33We need a lot of beds. I need more toilets.
- 1:53:36Yeah, like one more. I'm trying to keep this cheap.
- 1:53:39Yeah, yeah, they, oh, dude, I don't know, they're pretty
- 1:53:41cheap. I would throw in on that if
- 1:53:43somebody wanted to buy a house in.

- 1:55:59Hey, Zeus ate my fucking brownie.
- 1:56:01So he'll be buying me three more.
- 1:56:03Thanks, Carl, for the Oreo brownie.
- 1:56:04I wish I could tell you how it tasted moving forward.
- 1:56:09What? Did you think about that,
- 1:56:11Malcolm? You guys had a real fun time.
- 1:56:13Yeah, yeah, a lot. A lot of late nights, it seemed.
- 1:56:19Yeah, it was a typical drifting trip.
- 1:56:21It was just in another country. Oh.
- 1:56:22Yeah, you guys were all over the place.
- 1:56:24So I mean like spread out, like people were here doing this.
- 1:56:27Thank God, because if I had to be stuck with all these people
- 1:56:30for 10 days straight in one shot, I would have.

- 1:56:41If someone buys me an airplane ticket, I'll go tomorrow.
- 1:56:45All right, that's pretty much. It it's too much money to fly
- 1:56:48there, but everything there is cheap.
- 1:56:49So that's awesome. It's over.
- 1:56:51I thought Tom was going to murder Carl on this episode.
- 1:56:54Yeah, they got into it. And I've been getting messages
- 1:56:56like, oh, I was waiting for Tom to choke fucking Carl out.
- 1:57:00Yeah, you should have had him do that.
- 1:57:02Yeah, it was weird. Who do you think would win?
- 1:57:04I'm still mad about my brownie, so I'm sorry if I'm a little
- 1:57:09flustered right now. Who would win?
- 1:57:11Tom would win. Yeah, yeah, like 6 foot nine and

- 1:57:31Until this shit is all. The alignment rack is down.
- 1:57:33It's been down for two weeks. It's going to be down for
- 1:57:35another possible two weeks. Oh my God.
- 1:57:38And the entire East Coast drift community is panicking and they
- 1:57:42don't know where to get their alignments done so.
- 1:57:44They're relying on us. Yeah.
- 1:57:45And I, we didn't realize how big of an impact we had.
- 1:57:48I guess I I didn't realize that how I didn't realize how big of
- 1:57:51an impact that alignment rack has on our income.
- 1:57:54Yeah, huge so. Huge.
- 1:57:56That's a big, I don't know, newsflash, I guess.
- 1:58:00So yeah, we're waiting on some parts from Hunter before we can
- 1:58:04actually get this alignment rack set up.
- 1:58:06So yeah, Please be patient with that and Please be patient.
- 1:58:10I'm Lord Yeah. So Please be patient with that

- 1:58:41description. Yeah, he says he need to paint
- 1:58:42them for installation. They're raw steel, so they're

- 1:59:24stock. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:59:26So GK Tech made a whole hub solution to get 5 by 114 on
- 1:59:32those cars. So check it out.
- 1:59:34I don't think we have the brake rotors, but you they give you a
- 1:59:38list of all the brake rotors you can buy.
- 1:59:39That's why I didn't order them with the brake rotors because I
- 1:59:42figured people would want some well known brake rotors maybe
- 1:59:46instead of the GK Tech ones. Yeah, they're not saying they're
- 1:59:49bad, but they're made by HFM. Oh, OK.
- 1:59:52So they're made by they're made by another company, but yeah,
- 1:59:56that you could put Centric rotors on there and DBDBDBA
- 1:59:59rotors on there, I'm sure. So yeah, you got a lot of
- 2:00:03options. What else?
- 2:00:04We have a new product. Is that going to be up on the
- 2:00:06website before this is? No, no, no.
- 2:00:10But let them know. Why can't it be you?
- 2:00:13Didn't figure out pricing yet. I have that figured out now.
- 2:00:17OK. It might be on the website well,
- 2:00:19when this airs, but it's basically just a crankcase hose
- 2:00:24breather bracket thing. Yeah, that was a really bad way
- 2:00:27to describe that, so let me retry that.
- 2:00:29It's a crankcase. What did we call it?
- 2:00:33We had a name for it. This was the hardest product to
- 2:00:34have a name for. It let me check that.
- 2:00:36Yeah, in the notes it is called the SR20 Crankcase ventilation
- 2:00:43hose retainer or bracket. Yeah, one of those.
- 2:00:48You'll see later on bracket or retainer.
- 2:00:50Yeah, basically it's just a bent piece of metal that bolts onto
- 2:00:54the cylinder head of an SR20 and it holds the hose.
- 2:00:59Usually we're. So let's say an S13SR20 has that
- 2:01:02little air oil separator on the back of the cylinder head.
- 2:01:06Most people get rid of that thing and because they have an
- 2:01:09aftermarket exhaust manifold so it won't fit anymore.
- 2:01:11And then they. Have a hose running up to the
- 2:01:14valve cover, and what happens is this hose always bends over and
- 2:01:18like, starts getting like, touching the manifold and
- 2:01:22potentially ripping open and spraying oil all over the place.
- 2:01:25So what we made was just a bracket to hold these hoses up,
- 2:01:29like straight up. We'll probably make a whole
- 2:01:31video on this so it'll be easier to understand.
- 2:01:34But make sure you stay posted to our YouTube and I'm sure we'll
- 2:01:38have those up for sale soon. And they're not going to be
- 2:01:41expensive. So that's good news, yeah.
- 2:01:44That's about it. Thanks for tuning in guys.
- 2:01:49Sorry, it was a little bit of a short one the.
- 2:01:52The COM just had to go out to dinner.
- 2:01:53Yeah, I guess the guest had to go to get some steaks.
- 2:01:56Yeah. All right.
- 2:01:58Thanks for listening. See you next one.
- 2:02:02Bye. Check out our sponsors, OK?
