We found the famous D1GP drift cars of the early 2000s…

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We all watched the OGs of the drift world on video option DVDs at D1GP back in the day. But what happened to all their iconic cars and the drivers from D1GP themselves. On our last night in Japan we decided to go check out the legendary Kunnyz and meet Kuniaki Takahashi the legend of the street and D1GP. We hope you guys enjoyed our coverage from Japan this year!

    The JDM Insider series was literally my bedtime story I'd fall asleep watching them every night for years. Been following them since 2003. I owe so much to Toshi Hayama and Takahiro Ueno. Actually had quite a few conversations with Toshi he's a super nice guy n so down to earth

    Easily my favourite video from your Japan trip. As others have said these guys are so humble and have little or no idea how much they have inspired the rest of the world, we have drifting because of guys like this, simple as.

    Takahashi-san "City boy" is the reason why I absolutely LOVE the GRS131 Mark X. I have been wanting to import one since 2014! The Mark X is actually based on the Lexus GS platform like the IS, so they share a lot of similar components. Definitely unlocked a core memory seeing those old Nightwalkers street videos, I used to obsess over going to Japan as a kid, definitely have reinvigorated that desire for sure.

    That's right they started as the "Nine Walkers " 9 4 door cars all painted that same colour then some left so they changed their name to "Night walkers" I've a few old dvd's of them inc jdm Insider etc think the sexy knights are in there too ❤

    Finaly got time to sit and enjoy this.. Awesome.. Please say you are doing it again next year.. More ebisu, more streets and way more shops. Even just random normal guy shops, with a lil stash of a few nice things rather than the legends you featured through the past few vids. (Though no-one wil complain if you can just feature top tier drift/racing/building names) Moar Japan Plz, as much as schedule and budget (and your own spirit/sanity from being away from home so much) allows. Such great vids.

    AHHH the JDM Insider Vol.2 DVD that was my shit when I was growing up. I bought it back in 2004 n that's where I found the Jzz30 Soarer n fell in love with it n Car Make T&E/Vertex. N watching Kunny thrashing that Chaser with Takahiro Ueno in his Soarer n Hirota in his Verossa. I wanted u to go to Sui•Vax so badly but this is a treat nonetheless

    The regulation needs to go back to how it was. You have no idea the amount of drama that was going on from 2000-2005 because of Americans drifting. Getting that sticker is a big deal. Not drifting on the streets..pssh.. sell outs
