I'm telling you all. Larry Chen is the Anthony Bourdain of ..... not only the world's car culture but the whole auto industry itself. We always remember that AB helped the Philippines accelerate its food spectrum to the world and I believe that Larry Chen is just scratching the surface. Thanks a lot Larry and Angie Mead King!

The positivity and acceptance in these crews is amazing, everyone helpful and welcome. Not all scenes have reached this level of chill. Hope Greece gets there.

I love the Philippines I am married to a beautiful Filipino girl for 10 years and lived in Filinvest for 4 years. The cars we use to see the at the petrol station every Sunday and at Molito's was insane. Fuĺl respect and love for all the people and car culture there its a special place for me and so underrated.

Everytime Larry asks "Is that Legal?" or "How is this allowed?" I just wanna go "Larry, it's the Philippines"

A frustrating aspect of car culture in the Philippines is the loud revving of Civics (and other cars, though Civics are the most common) at car meet locations. This often leads to these spots being banned for car meets sadly.

Oh Wow! That's the TRD AE86 catalog car that used to be at the old TRD USA headquarters in Gardena, California.

So proud to see my Filipino brethren doing it big out in the PI! I will have to come back and visit the motherland one day. It's changed so much from 20+ years go!!

Thank you Larry for visiting the Philippines

It's always so good to set-up a meet with somebody who knows everybody.

Being filipino i love seeing the culture in the Phillippines. Another awesome youtuber who showcases it is @southscene a lot of honda content but love the videos larry.

Love the 70s celica. Used to drive a 1972 Celica ST. Brought back some pretty good memories.

I visited Manila last summer and driving out there in the day time is absolutely nuts its get in where you fit in its so nice to see clean cars out there when the traffic is nuts

Congratulations, Larry JWD ! from Los Angeles

JDM trucks are exempt from the law that your pals mentioned. There's a reason why there are multitudes of Fuso Super Greats, Hino Previas, and Isuzu Gigas running around in the Philippines, many of them the so-called "wing vans" and quite a few of those trucks still decked out as dekotoras!.

@honamihodoshima2332

Ай бұрын

There are actually ways to bypass that ban his pals were telling him. If you've ever seen those JDM kei vans usually with newer J and K plates, there are importers in Visayas and Mindanao who import chopped up kei vans and declare them as "car parts" to get through BOC. Shops would then reassemble them as LHD and you're all good to go. Beware though, some of these kei vans have shoddy and unprofessional LHD conversions. I also remember seeing a chopped up Galant AMG being sold in FB marketplace so that really is another way to import JDM here without the BOC batting an eye.

What are their pronouns

The Revo is actually an Indonesian car known originally as the Kijang. In the Philippines, we got the Tamaraw, Revo, and Innova, while Indonesia carries the Kijang name all the way through. Sure you've noticed both in Indonesia and the Philippines how prominent the Innova is, great builds for it because it carries a stupid turbodiesel that makes it crazy fast as your family car (2.8l in the PH, 2.4l in Indonesia)

Pinoys are awesome!! 👏

Perfect example of respect all builds

This is Peninsula Manila.. nice vlog sir❤️

You should come to Brunei and experience the car culture😃🇧🇳

Larry popping for the Yaris and the Brio got me grinning hahah

Quite a few stock JDM awd manual Orthias up here in Canada. If the prices come back to reality I’d want to lhd convert it as well.

My friend Jay-r has a lancer box type here in America that he imported from japan, then he did a gsr conversion and then he also got a donor eclipse gst and just used the motor out of it. Anyways that was his last project before he died from covid. VJ knows him as well and is also friends with him.

When i was growing up my dad and my uncles were racing rally cars and drag cars. We had a countryman austin, landrover 90, ford granada, 72 toyota corolla rally car, a hi-ace, vauxhall, and a ford bedford panel van. Then we had to sell everything and move to California. I wish i could get all those cars again as a grown up

I miss my friend Joel Tan, i use to talk to him every week. Then one day it stopped, i guess that is when he died. He was always telling that life was to short to wait for things to happen. Anyways Joel helped me realize my dream build by finishing my corolla the way i wanted it with the trueno front right hand drive swap and the color i wanted orange and also he use some of my parts he used like my wheels and motor.

39:15 today I learned that Larry has a Evo. First time hearing about it.

I wanna build a current model camry wagon, but they are still not eligible for import here in the US. They only came out in Australia and Japan.

We have Honda Brio's here in South Africa also it's not just a South East Asian market car infact we have literally all the cars aside from alot of american cars because american cars aren't fit for our roads they're too big they use way too much fuel and they're just a major inconvenience

Larry Chen has never seen an isuzu pup? We had them in the USA with regular cab or space cab. I dont think we got the crew cab, though. Same vehicle as the isuzu rodeo and honda passport of its generation, too.

That civic wagon takes the cake in my book, and apologies for my ignorance but I remember my friends from the Philippines (granted this was back in the 90’s) telling me the government there could simply take your vehicle away for living too “richly”, unsure if that was never a thing or the times changed for the better, but regardless lots of really cool builds there

I hope RealRyan's bagged AE101 is gonna be featured in one of these. Or whoever owns that 3SGE red top swapped red AE101

Awesome Sauce!

Niiiiiice!!!

My uncle owns the only right hand drive pulsar gti-r in the philippines that was given to him to drive in a rally, of course it was illegal to import a right hand drive car or jdm car in the Philippines unless it is a knock down version or parted out version, then you could rebuild it when it get to the Philippines and convert it to lhd car if you want or make it into a full fledge race car, which my uncle did to be able to rally it.

This makes me miss my 95 Accord Wagon.

Sad to hear the Joel owner of Mango has passed. 25:21 RIP

You should do a collaboration with CB Media

Not shown here but The philippines probably has more running condition old school (70s and 80s era) JDM cars like 1st and 2nd gen Lancer GSRs, Corolla SRs, Mitsu Colt Galant etc than Japan.
