[@laurikoski1049]

Lauri Heinonen in DMEC European series has been running a supercharged Nascar engine for a few years now already 👍

[@petrihakkinen2336]

This is second season on supercharged that before was naturally aspirated 3 season

[@vid3tube]

Laauri heinonen lauri heinonen!

[@Aldarris]

This is the most I've ever heard Daigo talk while being filmed LOL

[@sparkytheskater461]

The altezza with the hks body kit and his wing just hits so different

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

100% agree, it goes hard!

[@Grevsnes]

In this episode of Sammit: Sam talks to the camera, Sam does skids, and Sam breakes something.

[@randydube1423]

Apologies for being that guy but it's "breaks" and not "brakes".

[@blvckskull7954]

​@@randydube1423understandable, have s great day!

[@Mr-cl2bh]

Great news!

[@Patrick-vc6zk]

Well, the original COULD apply to this situation, too. Lol!​@randydube1423

[@mujareeves9908]

It's better to break now than at the comp right

[@DolphinDivingChamp]

It's funny daigo understands English and sammit understands Japanese and they can have a conversation

[@85aw11]

your axles are binding. the cv joint ran out of movement inward as the car squats and the force pushes upwards which will crack the output stubs or the axles.

[@doggames10]

Damn that Pandem wide body S13 is stunning.

[@Jon64scale]

Sammit sick vid the OG FD looks amazing and sounds like an absolute beast what a tire shredder those few laps you were ripping nicely done 👌 and the rest of the cars insane keep up the great work 👍

[@harmannwoottun5988]

Very cool to see the shredding videos back, reminds me of the days you were sending the OG pink s15 hard 🔥

[@Jon64scale]

Sammit great job putting Oil in it this time don't need no more Dammit Sammit marks on the board 😂 keep up the great work 👍

[@venomshitting]

The 2jz: Hey Sam! glad you've chosen me to be your new motor, i will never break so... Ready to destroy all of your other car parts? I can help with that!

[@tamikadze134]

The Daigo's Altezza was built for the RDS ( Russian Drift Series). He still have the number sticker on his windshield from the RDS. And he was in the Aimol team. Miss these days😢.

[@JamieMcilreavy]

Originally the hks altezza I think he said to ❤

[@tamikadze134]

@@JamieMcilreavy yes, it was Taniguchi HKS red Altezza, but it was rebuilded up to modern standard, and he put an v8 nascar engine. I remember his nascar engine broke and people gave him an Lada Vesta for an event😂. Also, Daigo really loved RDS, he brought his first drift Supra for it.

[@JamieMcilreavy]

Yes I loved the red altezza growing up and to see daigo carry on the story is brilliant so much history in the car. It was crazy to see it go from Japan to Russia on another mission 😂

[@RAISEONER]

tanner foust used to drive a nascar engine scion tc in formula drift 2009

[@israelorozco4621]

dude, I haven't watched you in like a half a year you've gotten so much better

[@alastairdow4400]

Cole Armstrong had a NASCAR mooar engine in a g35 Nissan had alot of issues snd wrnt back to a RB

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Sammit. Damit Sammit you broke differential is Mae going to chase you with the broom again. Will at least you remember the transmission oil this time.

[@perrygoll6800]

I feel like a part of the Team...it is amazing LFGOOOOOO!!!!

[@OctavChelaru]

Distance between the strut towers and the firewall is likely why the Altezza is such an interesting chasis.

[@anthonytrail6990]

I appreciate the fact Sam hasn't put a gid awful spoiler on his fd car

[@C6_Karura]

Someone's been paying attention to drift masters :))

[@Rosso157]

first minigt with Fausto now pop race with Daigo? Damn I want to see more <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:6</a>4 die cast car models sponsor more drift drivers so we can get more models of their cars LOL. I love it as a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:6</a>4 model collector.

[@jarrodsilver6365]

Hey Sam good luck this weekend bro I will be cheering for ya I’m glad everything is good with the drift car ❤

[@collinkleinke487]

Love you channel been watching for years

[@Godzillajr-bi2xi]

Pop goes the axle😂😂😂

[@jaynvius1]

In other news: Sam break yet another part on his car...AGAIN! Glad it's sorted out even if it was costly

[@MoparPhil]

It's about time y'all found out that NASCAR V8s are the way to go. Fun fact,most of em are Hemis too because they have hemispherical cylinder heads 😎

[@aneuryalgarin2175]

Ohh hell yeah mopar baby 🇺🇸🦅🦅 we need a v8 on the channel Sam

[@CruisinCaprice]

Yea boy that be sick, maybe he should get a Aussie Holden and order in a creat engine from USA 🤤

[@jasonhowell9589]

Play here in the states the ls is pretty much the platform to go for for reliability and bang for buck for the motor wise, I'm really surprised that more people overseas aren't running the Toyota 5.7

[@ThatMlt]

IYKYK Lauri Heinonen

[@sidni100]

afaik Niko Määttälä (finnish drifter) did nascar swap before Lauri and lauri got the idea from him. But Lauri made it known 🇫🇮

[@FaridFauzan2405]

I remember the Altezza. This one is IS220 (2.2 Stroked 3S-GE engine powered) HKS old D1GP car.

[@Secretsquirrel724]

failing on so many points surrounding trans and diff shows it needs to be reinforced to max as a plan.

[@user-rt9oh3je3d]

The guy behind the camera sounds like Dustin Williams! Lol

[@johnmclaughlin7633]

Sam's hand work had become so much more intentional over time. It looks so much less chaotic.

[@MoparPhil]

Daigo sez "MOPOWAH BABEH!!"

[@PaulsensGarage]

Random Question? @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="292">4:52</a> seconds what type of truck is that your using to tow your drift car? I have not seen anything like that in the US but have seen them alot in Japan and the EU.

[@allanwells5112]

Daiki got muscles :D

[@issa2j]

Hell yeah more Altezza content !!

[@Kurzawaa]

Least popular car in Japan :(

[@issa2j]

@@Kurzawaa sadly ):

[@radicaljey]

Daigo's car sounds wicked, but I really love Echo's new S13!

[@kanenstuff]

You need a set of SA made PPG gear set or gearbox with thdt and the new diff you wille loving it.

[@TheTillman18]

"this is sorrrrrr kewl" haha

[@riddlemethis01]

So can you feel the difference with the refreshed engine and having it pushing 1,000hp?

[@OllamhDrab]

Man, I don't have much focus this evening, but I hope FD JApan doesn't just turn into a burnout and braking things competition like the US.

[@carlos0228]

u need a shirt saying "that is the first time I ever see that"

[@Hiro_____]

dammit sammit moments 😆

[@Yernaritsbarry]

Chris forsberg put out a video on YT explaining that in 2019 winters changed casting/ foundries in 2019 and they have perosity in the casting .... thats why everyone is breaking cases and all the US guys are changing to Bulldogs

[@nickalderman5943]

you need a titanium exhaust on the 33.4 too. Let the rb sing the song of its people too

[@lelandlee9648]

Was it really Nobuteru’s Altezza before?

[@sniccers7218]

"This does not look good."

[@nicklindsey3872]

Dude he v8 Mopar swapped his altezza? Insane, awesome but insane

[@NyghtOwl13]

Let Goooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck this weekend !!

[@raymndcraNFS]

This vehicle was used in the Russian Drift Series

[@ardennielsen3761]

nice that it broke where it did, because the ford 8.8's brake at the wheel hubs... and it's a meme.

[@ryanworthen6618]

Nastiest altezza I ha e ever seen ha da down...and it sounds insane !

[@Evangelical.]

I was surprised to see an sx with an lsx

[@garlenseong38]

Sound like driveshaft or axle shaft

[@ryanworthen6618]

That altezza is NASTY!

[@pollyskirt1]

That V8 Nascar engined car is a beast.

[@P4FElton]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1200">20:00</a> he didnt forget... he didnt forget... ufff...

[@SammyRavage]

I just played the penguin in my headthat says not good when he broke something on the car

[@AlbrechtsenDrifting]

How are the Price on a stock 2j in Japan? Here in sweden it its between 2500 US dollar to 14000 US dollar its depends if its GE or GTE😁

[@Gu1tarZer0]

I am so confused by the fuel pump setup lol

[@jonplayle6954]

Daigo always the innovator with drift cars awesome 👌

[@Unown275]

who else, but daigo? I love v8 noises too, tis why i daily an 89 gmc turd pickup xD

[@Watusao1]

If its just upgraded internals why not repair it and use it as a backup?

[@williamng144]

u should build a same s15 for D1GP

[@mht525]

Go Sam Aussie Aussie Aussie . What a diff. Wow.....🙏✌️🤘🇦🇺🇯🇵

[@SquirrelsNuts646]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought nascar engines were Small Block Chevy 350s

[@williamthewerewolf2157]

Love seeing Echo. 😍🥰💜💜

[@ovosenpai4621]

Your s15 looks like it has no side bite

[@kentw6596]

comp car definitely slayed better than last year 🔥🔥🔥

[@Yeptturbo6969]

Not titanium u want to go with inconel exhaust! Titanium was never made to used for exhaust…inconel was made for exhaust

[@saizero0433]

my gosh, this altezza soooo cool

[@Secretsquirrel526]

You dont want to chase drive train durability mid-season. Lets hope this is a fix.

[@thebadman0035]

check your axle angle son. that kinda breakage is odd

[@teaddict-]

Echo is such a badass!

[@mycool5281]

4/6 of those hand brake pulls were unnecessary

[@SasG8726]

I love it sammit but why 😢 couldn't it be a TRD Nascar engine daigo 😢

[@lb9770]

So that mopar nascar engine swapped drift car is no longer reliable.

[@tinyfossil]

holly both brok at teh same time the hell >.

[@jeankemp8198]

If there is no wood to touch just tap your head it is a south African thing
