Getting To Know "Top Secret RTP" JDM Dealership

[@TopSecretRTP]

It was really nice meeting you. We appreciate you and Jun and Rodrigo making time to come by. Great video!! Thanks for featuring us like this!

[@Waybeforethefame]

You bet, it was a pleasure!

[@heychadwick]

I will have to make an effort to stop by when I am in RTP next.

[@SpecialKeiz]

I'm going to have to come out that way someday....

[@wvbonbonqueen]

Love those Mini-trucks. Have had one for over 20 years. LOVE it. Bought it when they first came to USA in WV as Farm Implement's and did use it for that, still do. We now haul our Firewood in one. LOVE IT.

[@jkk244]

At 6:02 that’s a first generation Civic. The OG of the whole Civic line made from from 1973 to 1979.

[@Jaie-lo]

Dude! The Subaru Van with Subaru speakers at time stamp 4:52. is sold! she's all mine driving down from Massachusetts next Friday to pick it up! I'm super excited to pick it up. Jorge has been great.

[@TopSecretRTP]

@Jaie-lo haha, congrats again man! It was getting the last few things taken care of today to make sure it's 100% for you when you arrive!

[@Jaie-lo]

@TopSecretRTP Sweet! thanks man I can't stop thinking about it. I could have never waited the 3 months for one to arrive from Japan. I'm so impatient...

[@ZUKME]

Dang that is amazing! I didnt know you were so far :)

[@Waybeforethefame]

Very cool!

[@TopSecretRTP]

We've been telling everyone we have a Supercharged Subie destined for the Harvard campus!! As a MA native that grew up in Bristol County i can say you've made a Wicked Smaht decision to get a Subaru 😂

[@oneauthenticman]

I stopped in there a couple days before thanksgiving, looking for a brother for my Mitsu J54, Diesel Jeep. The owner was extremely helpful. Absolutely recomend these people

[@Waybeforethefame]

🙏

[@sebastienl.5230]

That's the coolest dealership you've been to yet!!!! I wish I lived in the US!!! Those modded Kei's are off the hook!

[@Waybeforethefame]

It's a special place, for sure!

[@ralphbuschman3364]

People are showing skills and huge attention to detail !!!

[@Waybeforethefame]

Its all in the detail

[@TerraMagnus]

That was my Hijet with the ham radio sticker in the back window in the first few seconds. The thing on the roof with the antenna is a solar powered Meshtastic node for off-grid text messaging!

[@Waybeforethefame]

SWEET

[@DaihatsuMiraWalk-Through]

It was great seeing you again at such an awesome JDM location like Top Secret RTP in Durham, NC‼️🙂

[@Waybeforethefame]

Yeah, it's a good one! Next time in the mira

[@ssaxmanful]

This place looks nuts. Those windows on the sambar vw style is just a cover. You can still roll the window down

[@Waybeforethefame]

Ahhh I was always curious

[@compo308]

A lot of cool kei cars there to choose from. Would probably be one of the Honda Acty's if I was choosing one.

[@Dakotaro]

I really like the first gen Civic, and even without any modifications it would good enough for me.😆

[@Waybeforethefame]

The classic look is hard to beat.

[@corollaae8645]

Loved the content! Subbed! I have been thinking about a a Kei Truck!

[@Waybeforethefame]

Appreciate it!

[@arthurs7299]

[@ralphbuschman3364]

I love that closed solid flat wheels

[@ZUKME]

Glad you got to stop ❤ :)

[@Jaie-lo]

I commented above about buying the white KV4 and it was actually one of your videos that I saw that let me know about this place , so thanks I had been looking for a van glass top with 4wd manual , supercharged and here is where I found it!

[@ZUKME]

@Jaie-lo super awesome! Glad I could help :)

[@johngrant1337]

[@danrussell3439]

How did you find the place if it’s top secret

[@Waybeforethefame]

👀👀

[@MomberyPrivate]

That Acty is just waiting for a donated GXSR engine so they can burn up the track hehe

[@anthonyhunt701]

Wbtf… lovin this road trip❤🤘🏻

[@richienotsorich4303]

My goodness! What a great inventory.

[@Waybeforethefame]

100%

[@stevekraynik2991]

Any recommendations for a JDM import to buy to use for a 50 mile a day round trip commute? 40 miles on highways where speeds of 65 are likely required to avoid getting tailgated by semi trucks. Must be stick shift as well and would prefer 4WD or AWD. Likely want to keep it under $15k. Just throwing this out into the universe.

[@Waybeforethefame]

You want it to be cool or reliable.

[@stevekraynik2991]

@Waybeforethefame more reliable I guess.

[@markamd1]

0:53 What is Type R - Yellow now? 😂🤣🤣🤣 My Acura type-R came in a red color, does that make it's a Type R Red color?

[@Waybeforethefame]

It’s a honda acty hype R lol

Sadly Maine just banned registration of any non compliant import greater than 25 years new yet you can register a golf cart now as a SMV.

[@buddies8757]

Hmm ironic huh, back then i see a lot of american make fun of Japanese vehicle, now they import over 24 years old jdm like a pop corn..

[@tyb5647]

Durham

[@Vstrom650klr]

What's the price range on these vehicles come on man just spill it wtf

[@Waybeforethefame]

How about you checkout the website 🤗

[@tobyihli9470]

A buyer could probably get trucks and vans finished with left side driving, nice bucket seats, automatic transmission, and ship them here new!

[@Waybeforethefame]

No

[@KauaiSeeHorse4]

Nope. They have to be at least 25 yrs. old.

[@richardschneider4775]

Non reg in several states now and more will opt to make them off road private road use only.

[@Waybeforethefame]

Hey Richard, can you explain the point of this comment?

[@alexwest4362]

Key reason why there are multiple JDM dealerships in NC. Law passed they’re street legal and sold with titles in NC..

[@rickreese5794]

Too funny, sold Nissan for years, The mini trucks have a max capacity of about 600 pounds, Their 3 cylinder engines are smaller than a 17 year old Yamaha Rhino ! Is this America’s future ? 🤷🏿‍♂️ 🤔🤔

[@Waybeforethefame]

Do some more research

[@KauaiSeeHorse4]

You can't have them on PUBLIC ROADS. Their engineering put us to shame.

[@timatwell3728]

​@@KauaiSeeHorse4 sure you can just have to do all the paperwork to get it legal guy in Mount Airy Nc sells them with titles that can be run on the roads

[@Greenjagsurf]

Sad thing. People need to make a dealership of these cars because they don't exist in 2024 here. Basic small strong... Where is that in 2025?

[@Waybeforethefame]

Its becoming more popular

[@s.porter8646]

Hahahaha now come to japan and PURCHASE A BRAND NEW KEI HAHAHAHAHAH

Sorry

[@jeffmullinix7916]

I just wish these little trucks and vans could be Lic here in the states . They cant . Not in IL anyway . I also wish they can stay at a study speed of 85 MPH also .
