Such a fun time!!Thank you guys!!!

Very nice driving, Arisa.

[@marvelfanalliance7725]

Hoonigan needs to have a segment where they go to Japan to hit up racing events, do traditional Japanese drifting like up in the mountains, hit up the car meet scenes around Japan like Daikoku Parking Area, go visit Nakai San at RWB, stuff like that. 🤔

[@dominickw5993]

Last time it was documented it was the animal style team wgen they shipped all their cars over

[@mightydeku]

This!

[@Daphoid]

Add in some carcaine purchasing, that'd be a hell of a series.

[@meest03]

They should meet up with Noriyaro/Alexi

[@RockSolitude]

Y'all realise "traditional Japanese drifting up in the mountains" is drifting on public roads (in other words illegal), right? Unless they're just going to document the underground scene, I'm pretty sure Hoonigan as a media entity want to remain clean.

[@UncleManuel]

I don't know what's better: the car or the fact that Suppy & Gary & Hert absolutely roasted the sh*t out of each other... 😂😂😂

[@neckbonejones1097]

She is just adorable! Also refreshing to see someone not talking a bunch of mess and just throwing it down.

[@Metalstr8jacket]

Fantastic! I'm in such agreement!

[@igoralcantara3727]

Japanese people are so polite. It's crazy how she was apologizing for car the getting that little on fire. Beautiful car by the way

only a little on fire

[@600wheel]

US Americans could definitely take a few lessons from Japanese people on being polite

[@mashedt8rs290]

@@600wheel Its a completely different culture over there, not like America at all.

[@jinxtacy]

​@@mashedt8rs290 There's definitely somewhere between being considerate of others and ultra-self-centric which seems a lot more healthy.

I can barely read this comment. Damn.

[@longtime239]

Man she makes a lot of people look bad I freakin love it🤩🤩

[@mousiee7]

Love the Japanese style of drifting. No need for big power to get the job done. Bring this back to the sport.

[@btownballer27]

I love how they use little power and push the car harder apposed to having a 5.3 and barely throttling it.

[@troythetinkerer]

That paint is wild! The way it changes while in motion is GORGEOUS.

[@MultiTravellingman]

Chameleon paint job, usually 3 color fade and is a $15-20k+ paint job. I've only seen 3 vehicles in person that have had that type of paint process and they were all head turners. One of the best examples of this process is showcased by the tv show Counting cars. They are well known for their black cherry paint job and to say it's stunning is an understatement, it's also a 30-40k+ paint job.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Same, so lit 🔥

[@ergopropterhoc]

@@MultiTravellingman am i missing something or is that not basically just nismo midnight purple though?

[@speedracerzero]

I've seen some Ford f150 with something similar as a factory color

[@amr1t_]

@@ergopropterhoc it looked pretty similar, there were like 3 different nissan versions of midnight purple though so I could be thinking of a different one

[@jnieto490]

Love how this car is clean but still has the right amount of flair Also this girl's English is REALLY freakin good she also got barz to be whippin the Silvia like that on 275s with only 300hp

[@riothero313]

I'm triggered by the crease on the air filter being visible. I keep wanting to reach through the screen and rotate it around 180 degrees.

[@Fpvpilot928]

When most people use those spools to do slow smokey donuts around, she uses them as high speed inside clipping points, 🙌🙌. Well done!

[@Vgk36]

This is why I love hoonigan, they straight up offered her to drive the V8 car she jumps in it does a little rip and then she gets a cool ride with hert. Such an awesome video.

[@TWCAAO]

Hert putting down a solid run👏

[@djviciousballz]

Hert, Gary, and Suppy together is the best combo... I love these guys.

[@davenandalall]

I always have an appreciation for people who can speak multiple languages and speak well. Wicked drift skills too

[@yony52]

Always refreshing to see Hert sending it, its been a while, we needed this. Also a bit of peer pressure always helps. Arisa rips too!

@@fourthpandado you know me bro? NO, so that's a WILD assumption you have made 😂😂😂 I've visited many times. In the big cities I've found pretty much anyone under 30 speaks english. I've never had an issue champ

[@fourthpanda]

@@h34evr As someone who lives in Tokyo and interacts with locals on a daily basis, I can without a doubt say that most people can't speak good English. Everyone learns it in school but few learn it well enough to actually hold a conversation. It very much depends on what you are doing. If you go to some place where there's alot of chance to interact with forigners then their English will be better. But that is the exception not the rule.

[@h34evr]

@@fourthpanda I find it hilarious that you're liking you're own comments as some form of self validation for the dispersion of false information. Ffs even the signs are written using the Latin alphabet 😂 I can tell you aren't from Japan. They're a wonderful and well mannered, regimented people. You should broaden you mind and you could really benefit and learn a lot from them. It really is an incredible part of the world.

That Silvia looks better than a lot of modern sports cars.

Amen to that, and the experience of driving it without all the modern technology dulling down the car must be awesome.

I love how she changed to business face when she was ripping around the lot. And her skills with her car are excellent. As someone else said, maybe show some Japanese events? I still love what you are making for us, thank you Hoonigans!

That is a beautiful build. Crazy fancy builds are neat and all, but there's nothing I love more than purpose built practical vehicles and this is an amazing example of that. She is very beautiful and one hell of a driver. It was funny to see her ripping that v8 as well as she did while sliding all over the place in that seat. As someone who is 5'2" I felt her pain there.

Love this, felt like the old days in the yard. She drove so confidently and great. Hert, for not driving the BMW in awhile you drove the shit outta that thing!! Hert and Gary together is my favorite, the two compliment eachother so well as cohosts
