Her closing statement really got to me. I sold my FN2 Type-R two years ago and I got cancer 6 months after that. Now I'm rehabilitating because I can't walk anymore and the only thing I think about is how much I miss driving. As soon as I can walk again I'll get a new car to have fun again. The one thing I learned in my fight in the last 1,5 years is that you should enjoy your life and pursue your passions because your life might be shorter than you think. Thanks Yu-Chan and Albo. (:

[@zan1971]

Damn I didn't know Japan still had this going for it. It's crazy to think that real life drift battles can actually happen and people can do 200 km/hr runs at night. Really makes me happy that they are keeping it alive.

[@hajimarigarage9861]

Yeah, hopefully it’ll never disappear

[@neometalx9]

it won't go away i think.

[@TampaxVortex.666]

A lot of OG guys from back in the day say that it's dying off pretty hard with newer generations, and that's for cars in general. The topic has been talked about a lot with daigo saito and his friends/employees.

[@ryosuke.takahashi]

@@kaeptnkrunch9212 yeah, well that's because they do it in a straight line not a touge

[@idgaf4184]

@@kaeptnkrunch9212 bruh. We’re talking about touge here. Its a narrow downhill road with a lot of corners. Hitting 200km/h in touge is nearly impossible. Like they said in the video, it’s insane

[@kiokuprojects1778]

The car culture in Japan seems so kind and supportive, I've seen so many toxic people in the communities in America and it makes me feel like I don't want to start really getting into cars. You're living the dream and you deserve it for your hard work

That last part of what she said made me tear up no joke. I'm at that very point in my life to decide between my passion and letting it go because of other life situations... and it made me so deeply sad to let go of this passion and now I have my answer. I won't give up :') thx 🙏

Japanese car culture stands out from the rest because of its highly encouraging and friendly atmosphere. Everyone is in it together for the passion and dedication. There is no prejudice or preconceptions anywhere, which has allowed it to grow into the worldwide spectacle we know it today. Thanks for capturing part of these moments, very well done.

"working on your own car is fun, but fixing other people's car is not" is very true statement i studied motor mechanics and got my qualification, but after a while i didnt enjoy being mechanic anymore, but however i really enjoy working on my car. Now i left that field looking to do something else and on the side i work on my cars as a hobby luckily it wasnt to late for me cuz im still young. im still proud of motor vehicle engineering qualification, i enjoyed a lot and learned very much

She’s right about it getting hot. The transmission and the catalytic convertor are tucked close to one another, with the cat on the right side of the transmission, so it’s worse for her. Upside: warm beverages stay warm longer in the cup holders.

The nature of the tires can vastly change this car’s personality. Grippier tires and suddenly this car drives like it’s on rails. Slightly less grip tires and you’re drifting. Very beautiful chassis.

Rx8's are so underappreciated man, people assume theyre unreliable when actually its like anything, if you look aftee it, itll look after you. And you cant forget those dynamics man, awesome gearbox, perfect weight and weight distribution, perfect sound from the renesis 6 port. And theyre attainable. So cheap compared to an rx7 for an arguably better car
