Couple seconds in, yet another story of just seeing a car being perfected? Sign me up.

There was a 600hp rotary AE86?! Japanese tuners were crazy back in the day

Fun fact, the gt300 spec ae86 was basically cut and welded together with a formula 3 car, hence why it was so fast while being a terribly old car compared to its competition

Great video as always! Anything Altezza related would be awesome. Super cars and top speed stories are great, but these lesser known to the Western world stories are amazing.

Nice to see you around Squire! +1 for the Altezza, so much history but little knowledge in the west. Seeing it as a drift chassis is weird.

That's why an American, CB Media moved to Thailand but even he doesn't venture across the boarder into Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia and Phillipines to expand his contents. Maybe he doesn't have the confidence yet bcoz of so many years of being polarized and living in United State of Cocoon 😊

Happy Easter!

I always love coming back to this video. Crazy that it's already been 8 months since it came out.

You're creating the kind of content I could only dream of when I was growing up. I've been in the JDM scene since 2001 and loved watching Akira's progress whenever it was brought up in Option videos. I wasn't fluent though and missed a lot of the smaller details, so your videos go a long way towards helping me understand what was actually going on. Thanks!

As someone who dwelled so deep into the world of AE86’s, this is my first time hearing about Akira Iido. Thank you for this video, now my research continues

Amazing video as always. Can you do a video about the Sigma police squad that we had here in Greece? They drove M3s, M5s, 911 turbos, Mustangs, RS2s and a lot more cool cars.

As soon as I saw this video I knew I had ro click on it. I would love if you made content more frequently but I understand if you cannot due to time, family, etc. Just know that I really enjoy these short and long documentaries about cars. Can't wait for the next one.

My Levin 86 is in preparation for a full rebuild top to bottom after 18years is still my pride and joy no car is as fun to drive

Perfect ideo. I thought that somebody would finally bring into spotlight the reall origin of the initial d engine and got a ton of extra knowledge on both Iida's project and what it spawned after it got completed. Keep up the great work!

I really appreciate your style of telling stories, regardless of the subject

Great video! Id love to see a video on Revolfe since I feel the company has alot of influence behind the scenes and even more specifically Mizota and his 300ZX.

Love the video, I have a big passion for cars and I have read lots of car magazines from "max power " "revs" "redline" "fast car" but my favourite was "honda tuning" the drag racing story's of Honda's and interviews with car builders and racers was what made me keep on reading time and again the same article. Your video is the evolution of car magazines for me and I will be subscribing

Do a deep dive into the Whittington Brothers 935

loved this video. i waited soo long for someone to tell akira iida's tale and you did him justice. he's a legend but just not that well known.

If you could cover the Blitz R348 GT-R, it would be amazing, and perhaps while there, Daijiro Inada's career would be interesting too! ps. I'm totally getting a Mito Natto sticker lmao

YAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super exited, always something new, always learn something with only passion👍

For story ideas: The racers of Mulholland of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. The big story was Chris Banning’s RSR Porsche 911 that was purpose built for racing the mountain at night. Chris Banning wrote a book called The Mulholland Experience that shares his and his friends experiences racing Mulholland. The history of Mulholland alone is very interesting. James Dean loved to open up his Porsche on it back in the 50’s when the highway was sparsely used. Love all of your stories! Thought this could be an interesting topic!

This is easily my favorite channel on KZread. The type of lore you cover is so important

I absolutely love your vids. Thank you so much. Your vids are so awesome! Keep it up!

Can you do a story of Club RH9 and the related shops in Japan. Every time it is brought up it always has some mystique about the exclusiveness of the club and some really cool car builds. It feels potentially like a mid night club sort of thing. Or even a video on who the rivals of the mid night club would have been because those guys are rarely mentioned except in some of your stories I think. Anyways, I love the videos and the effort you put in man!

Awesome! I would love to see a video on Keiichi's AE86(s) and how they've evolved from the early 80s to modern day.

Before seeing this I figured he owned one of the cleanest, well built AE86's on earth. Like it's to the point Fuses and and light weight batteries are what are raising power (a video covering that on Carprime exists). Kinda also shows what a beast Akira's engine is as now with modern electronics is Keiichi's AE86 just MATCHING his detuned engine.

Seeing this documented on one of the best youtube channels to cover cool car content in depth, I'm only a minute and and so excited to see the spotlight hit this car and driver because the original video, looooong before youtube, was rare, and finding another copy floating through cyber space proved nearly impossible until around 2010-2014 or so when reuploads and original copies became a norm to find in AE86 internet culture. The chassis welding was by far one of the best things I've ever seen, and led me down a path that allows me to do what I do now in life.

Best channel on YT rightnow... absolutely love every upload

I couldn’t make sense of natto either, until JC Pepino of Work Wheels told me how he likes it. Hot rice, mix the natto in the container until it goes kinda foamy, put it on the rice then top with a raw egg and some soy sauce. Then mix up everything until it’s smooth and a little frothy. It’s now my favorite breakfast 😂

hey man, i got into, and mean REALLY INTO motorsports and cars and tuning and all that just last month when i decided to watch initial d while drunk. The morning after this video popped on my recommendations and THIS started my spiral actually. My friend is a hardcore enthusiast (well he has a serious sim rig and he loved motorsports since time immemorial) and he helped me with getting to know F1, rally, touge, everything, but this video man. I fucking love it the most. Not just because of the 86 (but of course thats a big part of it), but because of the 2000s footage and the non serious storyline from a very talented racer. Im a huge sucker of 2000s japan footage, and you got this niche subculture to go along with it, then you briefly try natto, thats funny as hell. I love this video to bits. Thank you, this is really great.

I enjoyed the story on Iida, thumbs up for that! 🤩 But as for the 4A-GE, Respectfully, you didn't do as much research as I would have deemed satisfactory, 6:48 He bought a stock engine for just a few bucks out of a wrecked AE101, and it certainly didn't come with a dry-sump. Watch episode 4 of the workbox series you can see them taking the 20v apart, it's got an original stock wet-sump oil pan on it, stock internals, it's bone stock, it's even got the wrecker notes on it. They even said they'd only be using the head and block from it. And that's what they did, he threw the TRD catalogue at it (also covered in the series), which contrary to what you state, anyone could do because the TRD catalogue lists the parts #'s, you simply order them over the counter, and if Toyota has them in stock = Good to go. But, as it goes when buying tuning parts = Really expensive, then there's machining and assembly as well, race-spec 4A-G's are around 15-25k depending how few hours you want between each overhaul (a.k.a how much hp). Notice how he picked up all the goodies, still brand new in TRD boxes, something he wouldn't have to do if the engine already had the goodies in it, it would merely need washing the parts, change bearings and check the bores etc, overhaul. The point of the whole TRD catalogue was that anyone could buy a Toyota and buy tuning parts from Toyota according to the category and class they were competing in. Google and download the TRD Bible, you'll see what I mean. Same thing with GR (Gazoo Racing) today, who has taken the role of TRD (Toyota Racing Development), you get their catalogue and order the parts straight from Toyota.

Another banger upload, king! Very well done!

Japanese automotive enthusiasts are so underrated thankyou for sharing this remarkable story

This was an awesome video/topic to cover, I love learning about some of the lesser known people and cars of Japanese car culture, keep up the great work!

Beautiful story and great editing and video all around.

Another master piece! Thank you Hunter Moon!

Can you make a video about the "gentlemans agreement" in the 90's in Japan and how and why it was created and how companies cheated it or worked around it?

First video of yours I've seen, freaking brilliant, definitely coming back for more :)

Always enjoyed your video with these kind of contents

Awsome video, thank you so much for all the effort that goes into each of your video's

Thanks a lot,this type of content it's worth it's weight in gold. I like to watch your videos several times each cause they are just that good!

congrats on the 50k channel brother! i was looking for your channel after seeing the time attack videos i watched before and found it again. deserve millions of subs

Thank you for the great video, so many memories. I worked for Toyota in the service department for 15 year, really miss it.

Your channel is by FAR my favorite channel of all time, I can't wait to see how much you blow up.

this deserves WAY more views. this might be the most entertaining video you’ve done so far ❤

Great work as always! I'd love to see you do a video on The Ghost Camaro and it's absolute lad of a driver Helge Meyer. It'd definitely be something very interesting to learn about.

This video was incredible! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in. I'd love to see one about Taniguchi and his famous red S15

Thanks! Amazing content as usual, now I just need to track down all the EP of Akira's Workbox.

Such a great video as always. 👏👏👏

Love the videos man, never disappoints! A great story for you that would fit right in this channel is “Big Willie” Robinson and the International and National Brotherhood of Street Racers. Definitely a tale that deserves to be preserved. Keep up the good work!

I love all your uploads maybe try Akira Nakia from RWB next? I am just in love with all your uploads

Yo, your videos are amazing I love it when you upload! Keep it up!

Ah jeez man .. sure do love when i stumble on another hunters moon video. Your videos got me back into cars after 20 years sitting it out.

I have met and talked with Imai san from Bee-R several times and one time we talked about this AE86 and Mito Natto. He had lots of fun doing this project. One insteresting bit of information is about the team itself, even if Akira and Orido were "goofying" around for Video Option, off camera it was a serious street racing team. Ishikawa's AE86 probably become the fastest AE86 in Tokyo area and another member had an absolute beast of a Wangan AE86, specially fast on the C1. These cars all had millions upon millions of yens invested in them.

What a great video ! Good job !

Keep these video coming man. In my Top 3 channels on KZread. Thanks

What a fantastic video!!! This is def a lighter side of Japan. People just following their own passion will always produce the best outcomes.
