@@futurenickel702 I love the paint scheme inside the engine bay you really made this car yours! I cant wait to see what Sammit does to this car, hopefully you can send him some photos and videos of the car drifting when you were running it.

[@mirrs]

"Rocket Bunny kit was technically stolen" No that's outright theft, when shops receive these cars to be worked on, they do not own any of the car, they are there to provide it a service. The dude chopped up their kit and sold it for a profit when he did not own the car it was on, nor the kit that was put onto it. It's outright theft.

[@Zqud]

was getting ready to say the same thing ended up reading some comments to see if someones said it lol..

[@penta7539]

they could get the kit back aswell, because the guy that has it now does not own it

[@officialTHREETWENTYdotcom]

I was going to say..."kind of" shady? "Kinda" theft? No, extremely shady and literal theft. Sheesh.

[@phlooke]

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but are the S-Chassis rocket bunny kits still being made/sold? (Or any new rocket bunny kits)

[@f-bodygarage]

@@phlooke they’re made to order usually, you can find them once in awhile if someone changes up their build but you can order them directly from rocket bunny it’s decently expensive though

[@billyj.williams2341]

This place was pretty popular with US service men for about 4-5yrs... it's a 15-30min drive from most of the bases. Unfortunately this story is not uncommon. Guys get orders off island or have to deploy and leave the car with a popular shop for work, its gonna be awesome when they get back..... when they do get orders back to Oki in 6 months to 3yrs.... come back and everything - Shop, car, parts, money - Long Gone. I enjoyed and miss the time I was there but I don't miss the many grifters involved in the car hobby there.

[@drakularz1243]

do you know where the place is?

[@billyj.williams2341]

@@drakularz1243 Yes, it's right up from Maribu Beach like your going to the Blue Cave. I'm not exactly sure when this became an auto shop. When I was on Oki in the 90s, it was a private residence. We found the place by accident as we turned onto the wrong road going diving.... I remember the place because I wanted to live there... lol. When I came back to Oki, few yrs ago, I was surprised when one of my Marines said that it was an Auto shop.... Anyway from what I remember there are a couple more homes and smaller businesses on the road leading where this property overlooks the cliffs and few more beyond it as the road loops around.

[@ronniesan9805]

yup! I lived/ stationed there too. Late 99'- 2007. We know all those old spots and in fact he's right down the street from my old apartment! lol I miss that place but you're right...so many grifters!

[@cpatters75]

@sammit Awesome car - and Jason's comment about video of the S15 drifting sent me down the rabbit hole to find it. This may be video taken the day that it was drifted and broke: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqfUmqKQgaeUe68 The car appears in the gas station clip at the beginning…again at 18:07…and can be seen sitting off track with the hood up at 28:02 (and sitting in the in-field a few other times, matching the events in the video that Jason described seeing). It appears again @ 36:49 in the parking area. Regardless, can’t wait to see it on the track again.

to be honest i hope sammit finds this comment because i was trying to find a clip on fb of that moment but couldnt find it so i hope sammit finds this comment

[@hurtfilms654]

Sammit caused hella problems on Okinawa. People saw this video and started stealing parts off these. Cars which have owners

[@XproRyguy]

The car looks amazing especially the way the other cars looked like, and if I had to choose one car to save in the video I'd probably go with the 180 or the 33.

[@shanechopko5523]

I’d choose the 86 if I didn’t have to spend 4 years doing body work to fix the rusty buckets

[@gateaccess818]

nah s15 for the win

[@tadej3556]

@@jmccarsnmore1025 I'd most likely pick the 180 lookin like there isn't much work to be done... but I will admit I've like 0.001% car knowledge compared to sammit. So let's say that's the primary reason I'd pick that xD.

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Man! That 180 looks like it was parked ten minutes ago. What a crazy place. Looking forward to seeing progress on the S15. 👍🔰

[@real2k7717]

Makes me so happy when I see these types of cars that are abandoned get driven again...gonna be an amazing project

[@fraided88]

Yeah, even with these covid prices these vehicles still sit and rot away in Japan. Glad to see them get back to life.

[@apeeric]

This video is eerily similar to the video you took a few months back of another abandoned shop that had all the graffiti painted on the walls and all the cars leftover! Almost identical layout which is crazy because it’s on a whole other island! Haha Nice scoop Sammit! Can’t wait to see her saved and back on the course rippin!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

it is a beautiful thing saving a cars life. Also great for the environment. The R33 would be my go-to restoration vehicle choice for sure.

Ayee I have those same ganador reps on my s14.5!! I personally love the way they look on an s15 front and have never seen anybody else rockin them ! Sick s15 dude !!

[@nickknee3515]

I'm gonna show some love to that first gen Tundra behind that 86, an American made Yota shipped to Okinawa to do work is a pretty cool thing. I've seen imported Tundras every once in a while when Sam or Alexi is like cruising down the road and a Japanese apartment on wheels passes them, and I also found someone on Instagram that lives in Japan with one, so its more common then I originally thought.

[@IchibanDoriRacing]

I think those Coilpacks came from my jzx90 🤣🤣 good times, I need to go back out there. Glad the S15 is going to a new home, that thing was in so many magazines a few years ago.

[@frszch]

i can't help but notice you've got a nav dash in your new s15. Stoked to see whether you're gonna return it to its original state and do what Tommy's doing with the gauges or do something else with it. nonetheless, stoked to see another car on the channel!

[@SecretTougeCult]

That was my old house back in 2013-2015 when I was stationed there on Oki. So it used to have a 32GTR outside of it. And it had an amazing concrete parking lot where the shop was. They destroyed it all to make that shop.

[@cd5sircoupe]

Wonder why the other owners of the cars couldn't just take their cars back after the owner of the shop ran off. You can definitely tell this was built by a US guy with the choice of parts. Surprised to see a Dakota Digital gps speed sensor on there, that's some boomer shit, but their products are quality. I used to be a dealer for those guys.

Hey all. So you’re not going to believe this. That same building right there where that shop was built was the former house of two of my close friends. We all lived in Okinawa and we would literally go to this house almost every weekend and on that same cliff where u daw the view of the ocean we would do bonfires. There’s a trail close by that goes down to the ocean.

Man the s15 is my dream car. I got a built up ecoboost as I finally got sick of waiting for an American s series car remake and bought the closest thing. The only other rwd 4 cylinder coupe options here in the us are a Miata with an weak motor, a Subaru with an unreliable motor or a bmw with an unreliable motor.

[@specter_6s611]

Hyped for this Projekt

[@thatguytj1938]

So the reason there is such a big hole in the dash is because the car might have come with something called "sat nav", you can search up photos and there's one video of it working. I own an s15 myself that has the sat nav option and its highly sought after in the market. I have heard that it definitely can work in japan with the stock sat nav system.
