There has always been Alexi lore, he's just revisiting it now.

Dude, making that road animation but in 2005 would've been hardcore. I struggled to model a fish in Maya for Uni last year 😂

[@noriyaro]

I started on Maya 3.0 on an SGI Irix box 😆

[@gav240z]

3D Studio max is what I learnt. Wouldn't have the patience for it now.

Still got this DVD dude, remember watching back as a 7 year old, let alone drifting at drift cadet with you, mad times

[@UltraProchy]

That signal sound triggered my muscle memory and i looked for my phone automatically, only to realize ive last heard that sound like 12 years ago. I havent even realized we stopped hearing that sound and now i need to know why.

[@tanksama27]

this man has been drifting longer than i’ve been alive cheers

[@Hysteria98]

Making ME feel old- god damn

[@Ake_zzz]

The video is as old as me 😅

[@mitsuracer87]

😮

[@svvitchio]

Damn, I remember watching this back in the day. I also remember attending one of the drift days at that same location and recognising you from this exact DVD. I also, also remember one of my mates at the time that borrowed that DVD, practised said techniques down in the 'Nasho' one night and subsequently backing his R33 into a tree. It wasnt too bad and we fixed it. I think his pride took most of the impact. Good times..

[@itranscendencei7964]

That interference noise is almost nostalgic at this point. lol I could be in an online game lobby, and know when I'm getting a phone call before it actually gets to my phone. xD

[@cesariojpn]

Oh wow, Noriyaro had a mullet back in the day.

[@s70driver2005]

[@victoriouspancake]

This oscillation between nods of approval and concerned looks is golden, great content as usual !

Wow. This was absolutely spectacular, amazing! One of your best episodes ever! Waiting for the modern version with the S15 :)

[@nanashi8686]

if anyone is curious this track does exist on assetto corsa!

[@6rnk]

Uau

[@guski1362]

name?

[@skyline5882]

I remember these. So many memories. You fitted up a sil80 with a diff and taught a guy to drift. And your trip to Japan in HPI 10. One of my faves

[@pattferraggi]

I was watching this on my phone using headphones and when I heard the cracking noise I thought I was gonna receive a call. Thanks for making me feel old 😂

[@wildzero7777]

We were really lucky to have HPI, Zoom and Drift Battle magazines back in the day. R.I.P Express Publications

[@peteanderson2533]

Subscriptions were the key. I still have my digital tyre gauge that I got from one of them.

[@stevethorne9605]

I also started getting emotional during this video, all those shots of Oran Park make me miss it more than anywhere. Best motorsport facility in Australia by a long way. I remember ducking debris from cars crashing many times because you could get so close to the track. Oran Park town can EAD

[@tunedcentral]

I just binged all the otomoto stuff last week, some real gems in there including Darren Appleton blowing up an RB20 box on his 2nd lap of Nikko

[@michaelchallen7458]

This is why Alexi is who he is, not an imitator & a total OG legend!!! I was right there with you, own every issue HPI & Drift Battle mag/DVD. I'd eat, sleep, & breath it! (still do😅) Listened to you religiously on this DVD, tried to set-up my own 180SX same as yours back then.

[@ogskeeta320]

Nostalgic edit: I never thought I'd call something from 2005 as nostalgic...

[@ivanleal4432]

Alexi you're an OG in so many ways. Just by watching this old tutorial we can appreciate the spirit of the original Noriyaro... it's just more polished and experienced these days. Loved this format of reviewing a video of yourself 😆 I think you did pretty well back then! I believe you were chosen to be an ambassador of drift and JDM car culture, nobody has your unique style. And yes, we need an modern version of this!

[@cd2936]

“Ya need pa’ar to keep ‘er goin’” About as Australian as The Chats😂😂

[@AnimarchyHistory]

This is a window for Americans into Australian Youth. More specifically the Ethnic Car Cult side, full of every Commodore ever made, from rotary conversions to cheap Berlina's all while getting defected every three weeks. I miss being a teenager... and I miss my old VT Commodore. It was a piece of junk... BUT IT WAS MY PIECE OF JUNK. So many good times in that car.

[@eighdreighanne]

Please find more archived videos, these are gold ^^

This one the actually one of the legit videos I used to learn how to drift.

Uncle alexi watching young alexi is a vibe 😅❤

[@getpaidmore_flips]

Boy is that ever how we all were back then. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[@cuconatparfour665]

My dad actually collect drift battle magazine, he is really into drifting back in the day.

[@st3v3nk3]

i was almost exactly half old than now :D (in 2005) These retro-style vids are very good. Feel nostalgic and feel a bit sad.. these was simplier times.. and the the 'electro cricket' (mobile aply bugging) is soo 2000's :D

[@tonyself6277]

This takes me back, I loved Drift battle and HPI! They were sold here in NZ and were way more JDM than other mags available here(although JDM wasn't really a thing then) I did the 180 too, r33 gtr wheels, nardi deep corn and a pair of brixs, perfection!

[@anthonyestevez118]

That was awesome! Love the throwback vid review!

[@nx-xne334]

Alexi giving good tips and amazing explanation. and me here taking notes as if it would change the fact that my car has less than 100 hp and a open diff.

[@momanmirul]

omg the concept of DVDs being sold alongside magazines is certainly an unlocked childhood memory of mine

[@TomiVuori]

I was 5 when you made this.

[@NoClassic]

I am just here to see those un-cracked dashboards, oh what a time to be alive

[@n00dles79]

I actually thought I was getting a text as that noise happened ... hahaha. is it just me, or does this still happen in certain instances? I swear it still happens to me with certain electronics / speaker combos. edit: any time i need to laugh, I watch those "leaving a car show" videos. amazing stuff.

[@noriyaro]

I think phones can still cause interference, but that sound was from the GSM network phones everyone had back then before 3G came out.

[@tony2shoes982]

nice gunna try this on my drive to work

Thanks for the Manji down memory lane! 👍

[@Olabruh]

bro young alexi is so cool, his accent to his get up to his style is so outdated yet so goddamn cool

[@FerdinandReisch]

Like the sands through the hourglass, so does nostalgia of noriyaro

[@CamArias]

I actually learned how to drift from this old video on my CA18 powered S13. Thank you very much for creating this back then!

[@tones7287]

Oh man! the nostalgia! When I was 17 I stumbled on this video.. at the time I had a NA 180sx, two other friends had 180sx's DET and another mate with a Honda civic who was the camera car. We would constantly watch this video over and over and head out and learn off this video! every weekend we go out and find a traffic cone on the road and take it and head off to industrial areas to practice. the amount of trouble we got into though, it was so worth it. You and Jesse were absolute gods to us ahahaha. Those late night kebab runs after a street sesh, you were the only prime topic we would talk about the entire night.. unfortunately since then the boys have parted and gone their own ways but the most important thing was we were so happy. we believed damaging our cars during street practice was a rite of passage and we kept them that way, it gave our cars 'character' we're in our 30s now and every few months we would catch up and still talk about you and the times we did some really questionable things with our cars. I'm so happy you're still doin what you're doin man! hopefully you'll make another tutorial for the new gens who will share the happiness we did. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Pepss86]

Best era in my opinion. I had all the magazines and DVDs.

[@Eternity909]

14:36 A modern lesson from Alexi on how to drift would be awesome !

[@Colt45hatchback]

Hell yeah, i remember this haha, i remember taking that dvd to school and watching it on the tv trolley one rainy lunchtime 😂 there were only 3 of us out of the whole year level watching it, everyone else was talking, mostly about phones 😂

[@Heartsprovide]

4:59 lmao I grabbed my phone, expecting a phone call or a message in reflex at first, really brings back the memories.

[@sinfulhappiness]

@4:56 That speaker interference noise I am so familiar with it. I am so happy you stopped to bring it up and I was not the only one to remember it. 🤣🤣

[@VETR1CK]

THIS is a pure gem bro

[@SwitchFBproductions]

The power of finding stuff when you clean up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Knwrdd]

[@Beserkssv]

I had this dvd, I remember watching it when getting into drifting in my s13 all those years ago. Man I feel old!

[@lordzedd9453]

The background while your talking of Japan and the car meet spot is epic. Love the info you bring about the culture over there ❤

[@timeanspace]

Oran Park was a sweeeet track for a track day. That exit of the final turn against the concrete wall was real

[@slpery86]

Bring back stock knuckle drifting

[@WaffleDragon]

That track is so cool. I love the sort of figure-eight with the bridge.

[@steeliewheelies]

I thought I’d never find that cellphone interference sound again! Brings back memories of playing RuneScape all day in the summer while the parents were at work. They’d leave an extra beater cellphone at home to keep in touch with me throughout the day. I always left it right next to the computer speakers

[@chrisaranega7661]

I had this back in the day. such a good magazine. good memories!

[@largetarp]

i am LOVING all these uploads!!!!

[@BADDTIMES]

I remember watching this 10 years ago when first getting into drifting, actually helped!

That was my Purple SR20 AE86 on the Drift Battle, sooo awesome

[@reaprr]

OP North is still my favourite out of all the tracks. So many track days with Initial Drift that we took for granted at the time. Such a shame what happened to it.

[@cjcook3914]

for an old guy who started drifting in 2004 in the US< this is very nostalgic. Great Vid Mate

[@mulishapatrol]

Yes would love a modern version of this Alexi! I'm Aussie and remember watching the original when it come out, good times!

[@JeffBilkins]

5:11 I was genuinely glancing at my phone waiting for it to start ringing even though it is new and doesn't even use that radio system aymore.

[@elizabetharas5748]

I wasnt around in 2005 but I do remember seeing this dvd when I was younger for some reason I dont know if it was just reposted ALOT online back in 2012 or what

[@AdventureChalet]

This is my first season drifting and I ABSOLUTELY would buy an updated version

[@bruchett4799]

Young Alexi is very dare devil with each drift. Alexi now take precautions and get comfortable before going hard.

[@Miggy2j]

I was a HUGE fan on the HPI magazines and DVDs back in the day. I never missed a publication and was sad to see it go. Thanks for the memories.

I still have all the drift battle mags, fantastic publications.

I straight laughed when I heard the mobile phone interference! Teachers in class would always know someone had their phones on when the boxy PC speakers would start making that noise in the middle of lecture.

[@flossinross]

Hahaha I remember religiously studying this video! It helped me out so much when I was learning to drift. Thank you for all that you have done, Alexi!

[@davey_projects2977]

Very enjoyable. I cant believe how long ago 2005 is, feels like yesterday.

Dai koku's background is dope

[@xianarekell]

I hope this is the prologue to the new version of the video. I'm looking forward to seeing it! I believe that it will be very useful, considering all your experience that you have gained over the years! also, it is so fun to see a smile on your face as you see your old self! it brings so much joy 'cause of nostalgia I think, and for us it brings so much joy because of how cute you are haha! we need a modern version of a drifting lesson video! (especially, if it is possible, using a low-powered cars)

[@scottex.]

your driving was really good for the time. Would love to see a modern version, you're probably one of the most indicated people for that!

[@bigdrippy4104]

the mobile phone interference i had to hear ALLLLL throughout my childhood, basically til i was 18 because mum and dad always drove older cars where our phones would interfere with the speakers

[@skarr0w765]

My god i love old videos i can't belive i was only 2 years old when that vid was made

[@jayj023]

Loved HPI when I was a kid! Still have that exact issue!

[@Soranlbrahim]

Young Alexi's drift looks so smooth for some reason

[@WHOOLKAN]

Been drifting on the simulator for a couple years now, letting the steering wheel self align and catch it is the most natural way i found when learning drifting. When i started learning i never let go of the wheel entirely but i let it instead slip it through my fingers while still keeping a light amount of hand grip on it so i could feel when it's the right time to gently clench my hands and catch it. After a bit of practice and getting used to it, you can be smoother and smoother by just adjusting your hands pressure on the wheel as it spins and self aligns during the drift. This is the kind of technique that comes most natural on drift cars and tight mountain roads, while if i were racing on faster but still twisty roads i would instead keep a good hold of the wheel and feel the tire grip that way, using throttle and brake to move the car weight around and initiate the 4 wheel drift that way instead of going for max angle, so one technique per kind of driving. i'm no pro by any means and so far i have experience only in the sim but man that's fun, my favourite combo is the good old 86 for angle and something like a 70's mustang for faster and longer slides but with less angle on the Targa Florio map on AC. 70+km of twisty roads, no worries for fuel, crashing or the sorts, just pure fun, i highly recommend it.

[@darksenshi1337]

what game would you recommend to someone who has done sim racing on ACC or the F1 games, but is an absolute drift noob?

[@yungshull]

​@@darksenshi1337 only sim game ive really played is assetto corsa modded but its great ive gotten pretty good at drifting and i think you should give it a try

[@WHOOLKAN]

@@darksenshi1337 assetto corsa is the go to for drifting but also CarX, BeamNG are very good. Just know that direct drive wheels don't work properly on CarX but if you have a Logitech or thrust master, you're golden. Try different cars, the Toyota ae86 with the drift tune that comes as default in AC is a great place to start learning, jump into the drift map and practice there. BeamNG is significantly more difficult because you have also extensive damage simulation but it can be very rewarding once you start getting how the cars behave and it's super fun even when you end up wrapping your car around a tree. Look for ctoretto drifting tutorials, the dude explains pretty well the basics. Another one worth watching is TheSimRacingBloke (TSB) for expainations of the car dynamics. If you've raced F1 you might know how do drive to the limit of grip and how to rotate the car in corners with brake and throttle control, the next step would be intentionally brake traction and send it sideways and learn how to countersteer to hold angle. Effectively what you're doing with drifting is steering the cars with brake and throttle to shift weight while the steering is for direction and adjusting the trajectory. Low powered cars like the AE86 are the best to start learning, then once you get the hang of it you can try higher powered cars (300+ hp) for bigger angle, quicker transitions etc.

[@starstencahl8985]

I completely forgot about the 2000s phone interference sound, but when I heard it I felt right at home and I was so happy when Alexi mentioned it

[@adamslim4937]

Taking a moment to appreciate the old rego sticker on top left windscreen
