Using Dubai scrapyards to build a CHEAP JDM show car...

In this video we are attempting to use scrap yards in Dubai and local resources to build an LS engine swapped Toyota JZX in the Middle East in just 3 days. We explore the many scrapyards and try to find some JDM bargains and build our JDM show car super cheap and fast. Dubai hasn't the largest JDM car scene, so LS swap in our JZX90 was the fastest option we had. Can we do it?

[@mikewright84]

Love the drama in Dubai...with the daily episodes its almost Middle-Eastenders!

[@driftgames_life]

Brilliant 😂

[@alanobrien1817]

That Ian is a very talented guy, what a great job he's done in a few days 👌👏👏

[@driftgames_life]

We agree!

[@UrbanMenace0187]

Blardy magician 👊

[@brocks555]

Wand Wizard, Weld Wizard, Mic Wizard…. Been really refreshing to see Ian away from commentary and active on the DG channel. Recent episodes have been superb, well edited and informative…. Pure shed mechanics, in a slightly warmer location!! Great work guys ❤

[@Tezzablade]

Sultan sledging dave for spraying the cap black is hilarious. I love how sultan acts and treats everyone around him like one of the homies.

[@zigmundo]

Weird comment! How would you expect him to treat the people around him hes known for years? Like dirt??? because hes some sort of royalty / giga rich?

[@k1c1ak]

I dont know but Sultan rocking that monster cap, looks alike Ken Block fully sun tanned just back from holiday. It warms my heart.

[@tituskoreman1565]

Haha was thinking the same!

[@fiilly9223]

The rasta music kicking in with the shot of 420 on the welding mask, ok lucas i see you lol

[@alfredalfred8631]

Ian deserves many pints. What a pro. Absolutely no messing. Needs fabrication. Get it fabbed! Legend.

[@joetambasco1904]

Anyone who says they can do it better, faster. Seriously ego check just stop. This is also a swap without ready kits to make it faster

[@goneforwin3002]

Could have been done faster they where missing the Asian they would have been set

[@theplaystationimmortal8805]

Maybe you shouldn’t tell people to doubt their self maybe they know they’re capabilities so they know they can do it faster and better you should believe in yourself more

[@SWATA27]

Ian is your Johan/Spoon , Legend 🔥🔥🔥

[@Shane_Mc88]

What a wealth of knowledge & talent Ian possesses! One man band killed it 🤙🏻

[@technology42069]

Theres been a couple of LS JZX90's in Australia. Red Cresta & a grey Mark ii currently.

[@progressive_rc]

Your faces don't lie! Damn.... What a week! You guys killed it in this mini series/build! Get some rest guys, you need it!

[@davidroberts8760]

Dave I Saw a Viper...Dodge looked yellow with Racing stripe check it out That would be a Great drift car, Hemi times V10 lol 😮🎉😅 Thanks again Dave Roberts Inverness Florida

[@driting2]

Dubai content was awesome , what an effort 👌

[@jimbob5589]

Ah, Dubai scrap yards. Home to stolen cars from across the globe

[@philipwilliams3427]

Time to start stripping nissan patrols, g-wagens, nissan hard bodies, and various rwd cars you can find😂 it's time to make a stew of random car parts to work in harmony of drifting goodness

[@denisteets0818]

Cars name should be "the mutt".. because ford,chevy,Toyota ect.... lol

[@Pats-Shed]

What an amazing team 👏, Sultan is a pure gentleman and is morphing into an honorary Irishman with his "I'll have to love you and leave you"😂 . Ian's musical talents on the TIG sounds like an old "Tomorrows World" episode demonstrating a Theramin 🤔

[@B.B.R.E]

I have a question but ive been wondering if making a drift Mitsubishi Eclipse 2g would be a bad or good idea and thought why not ask Yall

[@tristanviola]

It's a good idea because it would be cool, but unless you get a gsx, they we're all fwd, so it's a lot of custom work, but it's definitely possible

[@MHPDRIFTING]

Its a good idea, if you are either rich or very skilled fabricator 😅

[@tristanviola]

​@@MHPDRIFTINGexactly 😂

[@TWCAAO]

gsx would be the easiest course, already have a 4g63, rwd trans options are easy enough to source . drop a ford 8.8 in the rear cause the factory diff wont last long all rwd and drifting. cut the front stubs off the okdnfront axels and bolt those back in to hold the hubs together and start angle mods.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

All of you that are saying gsx, it won’t work. They are front drive biased like Hondas Sh-awd was, not rear biased like bmw’s x-drive.

[@Jon64scale]

Drift games another epic vid and those cars so many sick options and congrats on the JZX running she's gonna be a ripper and as always keep up the great work 👍

[@meticulous_rc]

Your lives are so hectic!!! You guys are doing so many things at once right now it’s insane. Straight up killing too!!

[@CFHJohnny]

long days....different vibe on this one. ITS SICK!!!!

[@RYP_RYPNYOVSKI91]

Luke is my homie from Chicago what can we all do as fans to get him in a 240 or a 350!

[@skipday5580]

I love how he says 'we' got 3 days 😆

[@Curious_carp-motocrosser]

That Ferrari 812 super fast is now a Ferrari 406 super slow 😂😭😭

[@danieljackson443]

[@D-divilMadeMe]

[@driftgames_life]

You're the best!

[@chrisrichardson2919]

Ian! Legend mate! Dave you guys need to bring him on full time 💯!

[@jdswayne3173]

Ian would be a good addition to the team!

[@driftgames_life]

We’d steal him from his own workshop if we could 😆 but more to come

[@deanharris-h1c]

Boys!! TOP JOB Challenge on I say 😂 No man is gonna take that challenge.. Another country, build a car, And get to said event 🤣😂🤣 1 J, 2J?? No LS And still trying Love it 💯💯 👌

[@UrbanMenace0187]

[@shaunknysh3330]

I did that swap in my JZX drag car

[@mikepadelford2585]

This makes me wanna visit Dubai so bad. Sultan ur team is awesome. What a build can't wait till it's done and Ian ur one crazy hard workin guy

[@BkSMedia]

Great job lads, very cool to see UAE breaker yards as well.

[@riptwan]

Ian is a wizz, Sultan's quiet main mech there also clearly knows more stuff than a garage full of techs

[@adelittle4099]

Top work from all the guys involved 🫡enjoyed all the content so far on these crazy ass builds🤙

[@mixerm93]

Ian is the man for the job 💪 would be great to see him more often, but I don't think Baggsy would be happy with that 🤣 he needs him

[@4q2raceteam80]

been a while since i've seen true raw content under a proper time crunch! awesome work from all the team and hat off to Ian what a machine! good work :)

[@ambitiosus1079]

Amazing content as usual, but can you please stop doing those jump cuts when people are speaking to the camera?

[@taco_drift]

what offset show are you talking about? the cornwall show in april?

[@driftgames_life]

It’s in DUBAI

[@R34Sumo]

Loving this series, Its awesome to see how things are in Dubai, having Saltan as a your guide would also be amazing :)

[@kevinbutler9786]

I'm a dumb American that never gets the cool JDM stuff so forgive my ignorance but I thought the only cool thing about the JZX was the 2J in it. Am I missing something here?

[@driftgames_life]

We are the opposite 😆 we have JDM but no American

[@kevinbutler9786]

@@driftgames_life That makes sense I guess.

[@joeym2675]

Ian done a Awesome Job working on Both Cars!!! But put the LS in the Chaser and not having to Modify the car really at all is Amazing!!! It definitely doesn’t sound like it’s stock! 😂 But a exhaust will help that! What A Awesome Build!!! I Love It!! Can’t wait to see it with some BCs, Stroms, hopefully a body kit or some aero kit and a wing! It’s gonna be sick!!! And a Hell Of A Drift Car!!! Great Job Dave, Bandanna and Especially Ian!!! 🇮🇪☘️🫶

[@georgef1176]

With LS You always wanna use a factory type oil pan that bolts to the transmission (sikky is only aftermarket pan that does) because on the Ls engine the oil pan is a structural part.

[@blueskyfield]

I love your videos but 🙏🙏🙏🙏 can you please make the videos less shaky? (aka video stabilization) I get so dizzy sometimes. Thanks!

[@driftgames_life]

Blame Dave for that 😆

[@Bandana_street]

Ask dave to hold the camera with some respect 😂

[@brocks555]

Simply superb content… the Bandana edits are on point!!

[@driftgames_life]

Glad you like them!

[@angeloah]

Sic work boys, all of ya. This was tense, way to break through though.

[@clancy4freeswag562]

You can't complain about being without the shit you need... you planned the damn trip!!!! It's all good tho... also, every episode doesn't have to be the craziest, fastest, most exclusive, never before seen amazingness... just solid car related content from across the world..

[@clancy4freeswag562]

Who's in charge of this yt comment section? You ever get any screen time?

[@dongonzulman6478]

As DJ would say, "exciting stuff"!

Fair play guy you knocked it out the park once again hats off to all you guys

[@liamphelan6794]

[@benburne9265]

Wow is all I have to say, not only about the build but all you guys do to keep the car community alive. These videos give inspiration to me and so many others to keep moving forward and spread positivity out there. Cheers guys

[@alienfac32]

give me a year and i wouldnt be able to do thhat.

[@rossblackmer537]

Look like you've ruined ian pmsl

[@driftgames_life]

RIP 🪦

[@shaynedose4443]

One question, changing the shape of the sump makes it have less oil, do you have to change the oil earlier bc of it having less oil?

[@ExV1rUS]

Tea is always the answer

[@neukin]

Be careful with tig welding rod around open electrical boxes... dont ask me... but its magical lol

[@elite6876]

It blows my mind how many amazing cars are just sitting in kots rotting away getting buried in sand. Is it hard or expensive to buy one and import it or why are so many not getting bought or anything?

[@gradycooper7416]

love drift games content always fire

[@TimFlagg-r9y]

So u built the car just to start it?wtfis the point of the build? Seems kinda stupid to just build it in another country and start it once and then leave episode over dam that's lame as f

[@jasonhowell9589]

Most people can't even get together to agree on simple things like world Peace but we can get together and build a car.awsome

[@miketech2]

🤔 Call me crazy but here in America we have “chop shops” where stolen cars are chopped up for the parts market….

[@_wallnutz_]

Hard to understand what's happening with the mumbling accents and constant cuts Mish mash.

[@travisstamp7428]

I'm convinced that every country needs drifters and car people, to handle their international relations 😂

[@CORNERSUNDERATTACK]

Can you just stop calling it a JZX Dave, its only a GX90 FFS!

[@garlenseong38]

Crazy seeing a scrap yard for exotic cars!!! Never seen one in the usa...

[@bradcross2]

good way to decrease the oil capacity of the sump and the life of your engine

[@davidroberts8760]

I just realized he was English...😮well chap.🎉😅

[@ShazU-lr4mf]

A wise choice to go to dubai since they got a lot of scrap supers and sorry for your loss on the burnt cars

[@deandobson4815]

So don't buy this skyline random trailer pack

[@davidnilsson-n2w]

problem with this is that most of the stolen cars from the europe ends up in places like this

[@B-skidz]

Ian is a beast 🙌 mans got my respect

[@Bustedknucklegarage83]

Sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders n hopes n dreams 😂

[@kj5671]

mann the first start up was sexy

[@jeremyclose705]

What trans and bellhousing did you pair with that LS?

[@slaDB]

Painful to see dream cars just crashed and in scrapyards

[@MohamedAhmed-yo4dw]

As a local in Abu Dhabi, This is very interesting

[@sdrawssakcabfrog13]

Awful lot of nice rides 😢
