[@Pandamonium004]

The Japanese culture is so cool man, how awesome is it to be randomly challenged to a friendly race and then end up hanging out and they help you change tyres etc on the drift car, thats so cool! All the excitement they had while going sideways was making me smile so much

[@buss1205]

yep, and the culture we have over here in the states is full of gatekeepers and clout chasers

[@NomisChild1]

Giving locals a ride along is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. All of their reactions were priceless!!!

[@drizzify7850]

He was laughing like a little kid 🤣🤣

[@sarahdell4042]

So cool!!

[@VaderLand3]

It put a smile on my face just hearing his reaction like a child

i was smiling so much when they went out on ebisu, especially at the reverse entry corner

[@zorkimonyamamura3271]

The backies were sick

[@BrokeGambler]

The backies where def better than the reactions. Killin it bro.

[@KongraDNB]

The clips of the Local guy absolutely having the time of his life as a passenger were super wholesome and put me in a really good mood. Super cool of you to take them around the track, showing them how it's done!

[@martinramirez6050]

Adam really holding the torch for the next generation of car culture

[@Jimthajunk]

W comment 🎉

[@walahmelons5504]

The first dude's reaction was so wholesome. He was having the time of his life and it made me happy just from watching lol

[@JD_Evo_1le]

Dude I had the biggest smile on MY face watching you give them a ride in the drift car. Can’t imagine how you must have felt. Such a special moment. What an amazing video bro

[@michaelsanchez486]

SAMEEEE IT WAS A UNCONTROLLABLE SMILE😂😂😂😂

[@seendizle]

Same here

[@ammonsfabrication]

This is the most badass video you have done. I was smiling the entire time watching the ride alongs. Love these Japan videos.

[@tylermalm8943]

That was so unbelievably wholesome I couldn’t stop smiling the entire video

[@DxCBuG]

This was very wholesome and made me so happy. The race, the drifting, the passengers :)

[@dohcbag]

glad he's actually giving the subaru a chance and not just playing on the memes

[@ollyolyoxenfree]

sucks right

[@beefster1882]

@@ollyolyoxenfree this shit killed me lmfao you gotta drive a subie

[@lampat.8830]

HE ONCE IN HIS VIDEO SAID HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT SUBARU AS AN OWNER I WAS QUITE SAD AT THE MOMENT OT THEAR THIS KIND OF COMMENT HOPE HE FEEL DIFFERENT AFTER THIS

[@kevinfunk83]

That’s probably one of the coolest Subie’s ever made next to the B22.

[@gankieeyoutube7971]

@@lampat.8830 Subaru is easy to hate as a drifter. In the 90s, nothing in its class really matched it in grip driving.

[@bighomieJ5X]

The locals laughing like schoolgirls was priceless, Adam your awesome 😁😁

[@stevenrampersad3949]

The combination of track driving and drifting plus the reactions made this vid perfect 💯.

[@LoneWolf-479]

Those locals will be telling thier grandkids about those ride alongs. Such a freakin cool memory. Mad respect to Adam for making that a day that they will never forget.

[@Karaa_and_Nate]

👆Thanks for your support dear❣️ I really appreciate your efforts hit me up on my official website I have a gift for you 🎁

[@thewitt76]

That's one of the most enjoyable, just happy vids I've seen in a while. The reactions were priceless.

[@olijones350]

Why did I feel so emotional watching the locals reaction to your drift-a-longs? A combination of huge smiles and a tear in the eye. How awesome 👏🏻

[@Jackm117]

I love it when you travel like this lol we get spoiled with so much content!

[@richie973_]

Them backwards entry’s were 🔥🔥! You keep this style of drifting up I know next year FD is yours 🦾.

[@bg710]

🤣🤣

[@subiejayy]

i was gonna say.... no one gonna say it?? so dope

[@darksidetize5183]

Those ride alongs had me dyin🤣Their reactions were sooo good hahah and them backies dude holy shit you could literally see the rear wheels moving backwards... That last one looked like you had to have been at a good 150 + degrees😳

[@Ilikedrifting]

Hello this is my first time ever commenting on one of your videos but man that this video right here gave me the chills from start to finish the passion and happiness that you put out there is incredible!!! The Initial D moments you have been able to recreate in your own way is so beautiful !! Thank you for sharing your adventures and so much more !!! God bless

[@Faceplanttt]

Seeing them enjoy drifting put a big ol smile on my face

[@duganmcclanahan4132]

Bro, this was one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time! And Adam makes some really good content. Subie track battle and awesome ride alongs that looked like they had an absolute blast! Thanx for being awesome you guys, really appreciate the clean entertaining videos you make.

[@PeaJayYt]

Man this may be the best LZ content ever. From time attack to drifting, to seeing those locals so stoked to drift. Man this is just feel good content

[@bubbas_demon6686]

I cannot be the only one who loved how much joy that brought them!!! AMAZING!

[@shadowvuth]

Racing the Japanese locals gives me a Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift vibe. Especially them having 350z. DK vibes!!! “WABAKI!!”

[@466rudy6]

Slippers?

[@shadowvuth]

@@466rudy6 yea that’s what the Japanese teacher said to Sean

[@TriniRogue]

As someone who grew up watching best motoring and hot version, being able to get a rolling start and race like that is a huge win imo, taking them drifting after is a solid bonus what an enjoyable video :D

[@25thAnnv]

So happy that you found a great example of the STI. Those adjustable dampers have a small knob behind the shifter. My goodness that car is in great shape and has some rare bits on it. Not to mention just not missing a bunch of things is lovely to see. Give her a chance though, the engine has a VERY different center of gravity than vertical engines. It changes the feeling quite a bit

[@braedonem]

I believe he mentioned in a previous video that the electronic controller for the dampers is broken but I’m not 100% sure. That car is a gem, hope he keeps it

[@25thAnnv]

@@braedonem yeah, he said it was "broke or something idk" and said he hadnt found the way yet to change it if it is inside still

[@neilbradford4958]

The possibilities mingling with the locals is endless, loved it 🔥

[@DNASocial]

I've watched every single video you've posted in the last 4 years and this is absolutely my new favorite. The Japanese culture is so damn cool and seeing you experience it is amazing!

[@seanmc92]

It's not often i smile from start to finish of a KZbin video but this one made it happen. Amazing to see the Subaru on track and the locals having the time of their life 👌

[@25thAnnv]

@AdamLZ for the subaru on track/ high G load touge runs the most important thing is oil frothing. Hard cornering will fill the head with oil and leave the sump low in volume. A windage tray, and oil pan can solve the issues. For now though just don't go through corners at very high RPM.

[@This.Is.Jason.L]

This is amazing, seeing those guys so happy in the ride along really put a smile on my face

[@oneilbasdeo3286]

Adam never disappoints me

[@atm0706]

This was honestly such a great video. I like seeing you finally enjoy a proper Subaru, and then the racing and ride alongs with the locals was super cool and wholesome as well. It was a fun one for sure.

[@Jacob.Zonneveld]

Been a sub for around 6 years now, gotta say these last few videos of Adam back in Japan and then this video is icing on the cake. Bringing back some major OG vibes this trip adam, very grateful🙏

[@darrynjames]

This is one of your greatest videos! The energy from everyone and the experience you gave the locals was amazing. Looked like an awesome day at the track! 👌

[@VisionCityMayor]

damn- i didnt know adam was a fellow Best MOTORing enjoyer, but im glad to see those little homages with the editing and such lmao trip looked like a lotta fun, hope to do something similar later on in my life.

[@motivemotions5796]

I love the pure reactions the locals give. They are really something else! Please do more Japan trips! Love seeing all this content!

[@204_mod_shop]

Should definitely look into getting a killer Bee oil pan baffle if you do more track with the car, long heavy corners starve the oil pump on these cars

[@wak3oarder]

some catch cans for that blow-by as well

[@Weather_Nerd]

This!

[@tuckertrussell9820]

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS EVER! From tracking the sti to giving the locals a ride in the missile. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@turninburn1643]

such an Initial D moment 😂the reaction from the track guys were priceless, bet they already getting their Zs ready for drifting haha

[@marcremie4195]

Reminds me of when Bunta let Takumi experience the GC8 when all he knew was the AE86. Great buy, Adam. 🤙

[@tristanmeadows]

This video was so wholesome. You got great feels when challenged and got to grip battle, what an experience. Then the pure joy of them in the ride along drifting, makes me smile and beam from ear to ear just sitting watching. Soooo good :)

[@TacoDave19]

This video was awesome. From the challenge at the time attack to drifting for the locals. Pure nostalgia and happiness throughout. Definitely one of my favorite uploads.

[@gtiturbo85]

Well this definitely has taken the title for one of my all time favorite LZ video of all time!! Just phenomenal!!

[@mrmanson]

following you for 7 years and still didn't stop to be amazed by the content :) this was a particularly special one though!

[@jessebecool1189]

Super cool to see their reactions to sending it 100% in the JZX

[@IronAxeGaming1]

Best Japan video yet! Such good vibes and I love seeing the Subaru it is truly a great and beautiful car.

[@Jeremy-bc2sz]

you made that guys life man!!! i know it was a dream for him, props to you adam!

[@DeadVibe_]

Not sure why the ride alongs made me emotional. I loved every minute of it and so did all of them. It's so awesome to see someone so successful be so humble and personable. Possibly one of my favorite videos I've watched on this channel Adam. 👌🏻✌🏻

[@projectmedianz]

Careful with those hard right handers! Subie's love to starve cylinder 4 of oil under high G force corners - baffled sumps are a must when tracking them! There's an infamous corner at the local track, Hampton Down's which is a hard uphill, banked, right hand corner named "Subie Corner" due to how many EJ's have been lost to it

[@2fast4u288]

Couldn’t stop smiling this video, the race and the ride alongs were so wholesome 🥺

[@BLanczak]

Grip driving content is killer. That start near 17:00 was insane. Then the drifting and blowing the dudes mind, man this video has it all.

[@Brian.Gregorio]

That backie point of view with the passenger reaction! Never realized how crazy that perspective is to see the track you just went blasting through! Such a great - wholesome video! LOVE IT!!!

[@tannershanksftw]

Yeah, it's insane to ride along with someone doing it. I rode with JTP at gridlife a few years ago, and he was literally having to look backwards like he was reversing to drive when doing the reverse entries. Was scary and amazing at the same time 😂

[@adamvin]

Love the gc content as a gc8 owner. Good luck and enjoy ❤️

[@lowdermanc]

Same!

[@Pitti_Piotr]

BEST EPISODE EVER. SO MUCH SMILES. THAT BACKWARD ENTRY DUUUUDE.

[@fondfarewell2]

These are my favorite videos, love the grip track driving videos.

[@Greg_Richardson]

The pure joy in those rode alongs puts a smile on my face, so awesome ha ha

[@Nath4200]

"Did it look backwards?" Bro, your reverse entries in this video are on another level! 🤣 You're killing it. To think that when you first started drifting in your cream 240 I could say I could drift better in my 180... I remember those days 😅

[@HenryDarr]

First dudes reaction was pure ! Wish you could stay in Japan 💯 I grew up in the 90s and I still have all the Hot Option, Best Motoring and High performance imports magazines. Keep living the dream brother 🤙🏽

[@AhmadAli-zj9wh]

The grip driving with the STI is sooo gooood! Adam never misses!!

[@kcyberrs2638]

Best content of the year by far! Adams a legend doing backies for them.

[@brianrobinson9979]

The Japanese seem like an authentic people. When you (maybe not just me?) typically think of the Japanese you envision calm, quiet,, polite, not very overly emotional (happy or angry) people. But then they step into a high energy atmosphere like one of Adam's drift cars, and the pure excitement and adrenaline, mixed with a touch of fear just pours out with joy and enthusiasm with laughs, giggles and some "I just pee'd a little" screams 🤣👍

[@dzld9]

Greatest video! I smiled from ear to ear almost the whole video. From adam’s excitement of driving the STI on a legendary track for his own enjoyment, the awesome 3 deep start racing the locals, the camaraderie amongst drivers and the awesome backies while giving the ride alongs. All of it was amazing. Best upload!

The smile on my face during the grip race and ride alongs was insane. So wholesome 🥹

Imagine just hanging out with mates and challenging a legend to a friendly grip battle and then being asked if you want to do backies with LZ. What a time to be alive for those locals. That's so cool of you to hang out for the day with some new friends. Safe travels!

best video in japan by far, dont feel limited to just drifiting content.

[@jackkrupka3024]

Right at the beginning my first thought was best motoring, and then when you brought it up in the video and then the fun race that had to have felt like a dream come true! Awesome video! Loved the backies

[@dannykolat8536]

I’ve been watching Adam for the past 3 years or so and this is by far my favorite video! Seeing how genuinely happy those guys were made my day!

Man, epic video. Those ride along reactions had me smiling ear to ear. And the battle part was epic too, I'm typically just casuallly playing the videos but I was glued to that part. Something to keep in mind going forward for sure
