TOKYO DRIFT EVO RESCUED!

[@dustiinw]

amazing video craig! SO stoked we were able to make this happen!

[@2FittedBW]

This is great. When you bought the car he is the first person I thought of 🙌🏾

[@ashleyabrahams4827]

Been waiting for this. Thank you Jesus.

Import scene in MS was way better by the time you got into it Dustin. Some of us old school guys had import meets in Biloxi before the first f&f movie ever came out!

[@AndreKlebleyev]

8:30 Craig just goes into a trance of just straight spitting out facts 🤣 Dustin’s brain is like waaayminnute

[@GianniDeBlauwe]

Dustin: "Wow, you can read the brochure."

8 people who disliked this are either from Universal Studios or are DK's crew members. I mean seriously how can anyone even dislike this🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nickolasabab5999]

Probably an unpopular opinion: This livery looks better than the one used in the movie.

[@AlexTsekot]

Agreed

[@grabsmicug7622]

Yep

[@eddie-nc8gu]

Exactly

[@clive8777]

Agree. When I saw this from Dustin's vlogs I even forgot that the ones in the movie weren't the same.

[@aakar1s]

This baby was called the APR Evil R, and was featured on a Hot Version DVD: American Touge, when they went to Willow Springs, and tested a bunch of us tuned cars, replicating the original Touge Showdown format. This Evo was highly praised, for its excellent behavior, and immense performance. High praise, from the Tsuchiya himself.

[@internetcutie]

Dustin's been a great owner to the Tokyo Drift EVO, lots of content out there of it now and it's been back to Japan

[@ShenmueAtheist]

Guy seems like a genuinely nice, humble dude. Glad he's the new owner of this legend.

[@BMWisTUDM]

It's his catalyst. Can't think of someone who'll appreciate as much because what it means to him

[@klayshotter]

Important information! For anyone who still doesn’t know or understand, this Apr evo was a prototype for what the movie cars would be based off, or for better word all the evos in Tokyo drift were replicas of this exact car.This specific evo was never in the movie but it was the car that did all the touring and promoting for Tokyo drift.

[@andydhillon1977]

Ah, I see. Very cool!

[@somedude4805]

I’m so glad this guy has this car now. He truly cares for it and is treating it properly, and that makes me happy.

[@HunterBritt0907]

Now Dustin brought the Evo to Japan and is gonna race it at scuba next month!

[@soun6589]

I always hear people talking about Tokyo Drift being the worst of the franchise, but no one is collecting or replicating cars from Fast 4 and above.

[@MiB94]

I would definitely replicate Brian's R34 from Fast 4. 🤣🤣

[@c3gfboy7]

and i'd be replicating the RX7 because the tokyo drift rx7 is my dream car. I love the veilside RX7

[@dominichills]

Seeing Dustins work with this is what led me to getting my own Evo 8 imported from Japan and starting my own channel. Such a great car!

[@DreamHachi]

Fr Tokyo drift was the one that I loved the most when I was a kid. Although the Monte carlo was my favorite car even back then when I was a kid. I was 7 when that movie came out

[@showd300]

That APR evolution immaculate condition I like the paint job vinyl layout and and the fact that that's a movie accurate car that is most likely properly tuned all round I will give it 10 out of 10 kudos brew

[@TheInamazu]

It's amazing to think that the Evo is now in Tokyo!!

[@andydhillon1977]

Is he still the owner?

[@juliandonato6133]

@@andydhillon1977 Yup, still with Dustin Williams

[@audimattro]

UGGGGGH I probably went to APR Racing's facility 2 or 3 times and had no idea this car was in their possession that whole time. Now my head hurts

[@Mondoboy22]

2F2F was my favorite Craig. Thank you for allowing us to see ur R34. U have inspired many

[@derekdreke4990]

Man i friggin love cars

[@darrensice1550]

I think the funniest thing of Tokyo drift is how the actual drift king of Japan had so much trouble trying to look like a bad drifter in the mountain shots at the beginning of Sean learning to drift

[@ObservationofLimits]

Can’t even respect Keiichi Tsuchiya with his name? Typical gaijin

[@ObservationofLimits]

Also, everyone forgets he won 24 hours of Le Mans twice.

[@darrensice1550]

@@ObservationofLimits I wasn’t being disrespectful towards Keichi Tsuchiya in any way. I watched a small documentary about the parts he played in Tokyo drift and he said that he found it hard to look and drive bad. So don’t be rude towards me with your stupid name for non Japanese people and simple minded attitude and realise that I was saying how good he could drift that he found it difficult to drive bad and sorry that I didn’t write his name and used DK nothing better to do than these shit messages????

[@mattbush3201]

its good that this car didnt go to someone who doesnt appreciate the history of it. its great that it went to someone who owned an evo and can take care of it.

[@NorgGrimm]

During Tokyo Drift "era" I often tried replicating this Evo's graphics in a few Need For Speed games.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

It's crazy that Dustin took this car all the way to Japan now.

[@purpskurp8737]

Man havent seen dustin in a fat min dudes been doing stuff good for him!

[@basithph8958]

Never knew that Craig and Dustin would do a video together but I can see why because it’s the Tokyo Drift Evo 8!

[@LonewolfWRX]

I was waiting for Craig to make a video of this car soon and glad he did finally

[@initialvat4226]

It is an 8. Check the front end

[@Zesserie]

Love hearing the two of them talking about how they got into JDM cars. Great stuff! I've been into JDM cars for as long as i can remember, but I've mostly owned volvos and small french shitboxes(I do recommend getting a Peugeot 206 hatch for anyone seeing the prices of civics on the rise. Really fun cars, very simple to work on and dirt cheap)

[@jamesshirrell3677]

Hard to believe its been 16 years

Hard to believe FF is fuckin 20 years old

[@racingcafe5286]

Craig as I always say you're sooo cool to make this kind of videos!

[@LonewolfWRX]

I was waiting for Craig to say something about this car. And bam finally! Awesome video!

[@carsonday7283]

I'm so glad someone out there sees these cars and just cars in general as more than just a hunk of metal...and I can totally relate to this guy with my RA in east texas, nothing but trucks

[@egealtun3545]

Thank you for making this video. This red Evo is basicially what sparked my interest in cars when I was a child. And now you are showing me the very first No:1 version of it? No man, I don't deserve to see this :D

[@johncarrillo518]

This guy deserves to have this car. I hope he doesn’t ever sell it. And passes it down to his family in the future. It’s a piece of automotive history. Not sure if it can do a few laps on the track though

[@psgraya2]

Such a beautiful car. Definitely one of my Top 5 cars from the franchise, the real franchise F&F1-F&F4.

[@s70driver2005]

Tokyo drift is my favorite movie of all. It hits on more of the reason WHY we love cars and what they can give us beyond point A to point B.

[@angrymater13la]

Thank you for all the awesome hard work you have done for us Mr. Craig.

[@dukecityR]

This is amazing. I was actually already following Dustin before he picked up this evo. So great that you were able to coordinate an interview with him. I love to see collaboration content.

[@DFisk75]

This was one of my favorite cars. I don't know why I just love it.

[@ABHAYK722]

You can tell they love cars since both of then were out of focus.. the cars in background looked much sharper..

[@hashrulsubzero]

This brings back memories when I used to watch Hot Version's American Touge 2 (that was held in Willow Springs Raceway), this car appeared in that video. Yasuyuki Kazama (Keiichi Tsuchiya's disciple who's now a former D1 Grand Prix driver) drove this car during its time runs.

[@4g63_Everything]

I've saw that also but cant find it on youtube. maybe you have a link of it

[@MrShadyss]

“I assume you’re gonna put a plate on this before we go out” 🤣 Craig is such a dad

[@MM12684]

I was on mushrooms the first time I saw Tokyo Drift... that very brief scene in the pachinko palace was incredible. Thanks for the flashback, Craig 👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnnybraccia452]

I always thought the “free Tibet” sticker was part of Leon’s character. Leon chimed in on Jesse’s “prayer” to say “heavenly spirit” instead of “heavenly father” so it struck me that Leon had some deep held beliefs about spirituality. And with that the Tibet v China issue is a great conflict of freedom of spiritual belief, it seemed reasonable that Leon would know about the issue and side with the people of Tibet.

[@atmosphericdump4997]

I’m jealous but glad it’s going to a good home 😊

Being on a sick leave for the last few days and binging on F&F movies, its so good to see this video. We want more :) by the way, you are mentioning about an event in June. Would you be prepared to talk about this more over e-mail. Being an automotive journalist (like for real, paper magazine and web site and all) this would be a great thing to talk about
