This channel is critically under-rated tbh.

[@CheckpointJapan]

Slow and steady, your comments/likes help and we really appreciate it when people share the videos with their friends. ♥️

[@AgentZ7]

Turning your personal car gradually into a full blown race car is rite of passage.

[@CheckpointJapan]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@Kc_Zeno]

Checkpoint never fails to make great content

[@CheckpointJapan]

Thank you ♥️

[@chriistiinaaaa]

coffee and seeing what checkpoint has uploaded for us during this rainy weekend ❤ thankyou for always having great content!

[@Aminmotors]

I really want an FC just like the black one at 9:53, but unfortunately it might be that when I arrive in Japan I won't be able to afford more than a bicycle... がんばります！Time to work hard and save up haha

[@goodnightmediaintl]

Another banger! I gotta get myself out there at some point haha

[@CheckpointJapan]

It’s definitely worth it!

[@Premiumzest]

ASM time trial clip was critical

[@vikaskapil7182]

Checkpoint on a rainy Saturday morning hits different 👌

[@DavidVidaurri]

I knew it was a good idea to watch ❤

[@SHELBYGT645]

was waiting for you to fishtail the rear in the rain ;OOO

[@Revolution_Collective]

beautiful content!

[@chrisg7488]

I just got back from my first Japan trip last week (where I also went to Omoren, got an r33) and this makes me want to go back... Not that I didn't want to already.

[@paulgetsowned]

I enjoyed that Evo WAY more than I thought I would and idk how to feel about that 😵‍💫

[@retrophil8241]

I would have loved a few of those 1:18 scale ignition models from the Di Racing Garage

[@AnotherMotorist]

Dude that georgia gold is good and so cheap $. I drank so many of those lol good choice. Those wavy bumps on haruna threw me off when I was there but didn't stop me from running multiple up and down laps. Surprisingly pretty wide road compared to all those small ass roads nearby and especially the back side (the side with the nets on the rocks ) holy shit... you have to hit a micro turn out when a big o truck comes through. Damn I miss driving and chilling around japan

[@MisumiMotors]

Hey! that's my neighborhood! I live down the road from ASM in China Town!

[@CheckpointJapan]

Right on! Small world.

[@williammememan6002]

I can't believe I missed you at daikoku AND haruna by a day 😭

[@CheckpointJapan]

Damn! Next time!

[@willotoole4118]

More checkpoint japan in japan content 🔥

[@ToxicaLBraiN]

Omoren cars seem always to be quite rough 🤣 had an Rx7 and an R34 GT R and both had seen much better days… but was super fun to drive them!

[@FajriSiddiq]

i love how you film this entire trip! if you dont mind what lenses did you used ?

[@CheckpointJapan]

@@FajriSiddiq Sigma 24-35 F2.0 Art

[@FajriSiddiq]

@@CheckpointJapan thank you!

[@a.aezriz5682]

Think I might take the EK9 on my january trip

[@theFojty]

Hey, nice video! Would you mind to share where did you rent the cars?

[@jzxcto184]

Which cam u shooting?

[@indyfernandez9073]

How’s the g build coming along ?

[@CheckpointJapan]

Lots of plans but not a ton of action currently. We’ve gathered a few parts (fans, aluminum rad, etc) to get some better cooling for next summer and we still need to figure out a long term solution for the fuel slosh issue.

[@indyfernandez9073]

@@CheckpointJapan nice ! Can’t wait to see it ! 🤙

[@Barton_Motors_Ltd]

Awesome rental cars Any supras? Whats pricing like?

[@CheckpointJapan]

I believe they had an A80 and an A90, grail cars like GTR and Supra can be a bit pricier. We were surprised that the Evo and the EK were as cheap as they were. For more info checkout www.omoren.com/en/

[@canteatsoup]

nice

[@thundernfm]

can't escape yvr weather even from japan :P

[@CheckpointJapan]

😂😂 real

[@neronjoseph4737]

What camera + lens combo did you use to film this?

[@CheckpointJapan]

This whole series was filmed using a Canon R5 with a Sigma Art 24-35 F2. We picked this lens because it’s small, fast and decent in low light. At the drift event in the previous video in this series I had wished for a longer lens, but other than that this setup was perfect for everything we did on this trip. 👍👍
