I imported a Yakuza Diablo SV from Japan!

[@maxcar8148]

It may be controversial, the modified diablo actually had some cool Japanese mods going for it. I liked the state it was in, a yakuza relic.

[@johnnyg9804]

Team Anija is legendary. They push boundaries.!

[@slow26gtr]

It genuinely looked cool, and had the story to go with it.. bit of a pity to undo the wing, bumper delete and the crazy exhaust

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

I had no expectations of working on a Diablo in the parking lot of the Portofina Inn, but when you are around Ed Bolian you never know what’s going to happen.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

well its kinda always been like that, as that's the same place where they filmed the cannonball run, well gumball rally, where they brought two geniune ferrari daytona spiders and a proper shelby cobra one of which was driven by Raul Julia, so the spirt of crazyness lives on

[@6DAMMK9]

The most yakuza detail is the licence plate. There is no reservation for licence plate number in Japan. Any repeating numbers / spaces are mostly yakuza cars.

[@100missedcalls]

License plates with 3's are HIGHLY desirable aswell. To the point when the number comes up they will cut in line and TAKE the plate from whoever might be checking out and allow them the plate.

[@InvestorBen]

I had a 88-88 plate for my Ferrari in Japan. Not Yakuza related.

[@kingcountrytowing]

Thanks to everyone for taking me along on the roadtrip to Vegas, I had an absolutely awesome time hanging out in Gloss it and helping out on the Diablo, it's a stunning car and went through an even more stunning transformation while there. I can't honestly put into words how much I love going on car adventures with my friends.

[@VINwiki]

Some of the Anija bits will have to stay. What should the end result of this project be?

[@dertythegrower]

I have a really good collab marketing project that could help you in more ways than one... collab with DrDisrespect. He could get a lot of subscribers over here, he is famous for THIS exact car 😆 Any gamer will know his work, even mtdew sponsors his 3d work.

[@Vermontguy87]

Keep the wing!!!!

Stock SV

[@fordmanfinis]

Redoing your mobile app would be a nice finish

[@Daedje]

Definitely keep the wing, maybe update the underglow for some RGB fun.

[@EdBolian]

This might be the craziest car I have ever bought but I love it WAY more than I expected to.

[@MrPypro]

Enjoy it how you want it, it's your joy, but have you given any thought to a period correct, genuine Anija build being worth a lot more someday?

[@charliejohnson4037]

Keep up the sublime purchases!

[@masondegaulle5731]

There's just something badass about a Diablo. More civil than a Countach, but not yet tamed. 👍

[@TheSmallmoney]

I liked how it looked from japan , why go back to stock and look like every other Diablo ? We are about the same age I really would like to know

[@peterfoxwell5198]

[@bobmcl2406]

Clearly Ed and Jarrod need a collaboration with The Lock Picking Lawyer. "Drill the lock out?!? Let me grab my kit .... and, it's open!" 😂

[@Danoliveira3]

Just like me testing the compression in an old diesel, nothing on one... Nothing on two... Oh. We got something on three

[@ryurc3033]

So a guy I knew had shaved door handles on his body dropped, extended cab s10. Locked the key fob in it... I grabbed the antenna off my own Chevy Silverado, and started fishing. The truck was sitting there running so he was starting to get antsy, and he walked off to the edge of the parking lot. About the time I was able to push the button on the key fob I looked up and he was throwing a rock through the passenger side window. The rock smashed the window , hit the dash and smashed the head unit too...... And he looks up as I opened the driver side door..... Sometimes people don't think effectively in a stressful situation.

[@deandupont5503]

*Finally!* Someone who admits they don't fit inside a supercar! Even if I had the money I'd never own one, for that exact reason.

[@augustinf]

I’ve seen so many people telling how they don’t fit in certain super/hypercars, how is that remotely true?

[@johnnyg9804]

Just do the Clarkson method... fit in something if you WANT to fit in something!

Ahh, someone that commented before watching the video. Ed says he fit in it just fine

[@danielseelye6005]

@@jasonconrad4314 Ahh, someone who failed comprehension. Ed mentioned he couldn't fit in the first Diablo, (hence one of the reasons to sell it) but thankfully he was able to fit in the "new" one for the drive from Long Beach to Vegas.

[@clifbradley]

Ed is loving so ma y people's dreams. I'm glad this channel is turning back around tomwhat it used to be.

[@Auto.Anorak]

Was lucky enough to meet the head of team Anija and some of his family. Incredibly hospitable people who have created some of the wildest supercars out there. Even let me sit in their Mclaren P1!

[@4g1vn]

1) I love the provenance stories of these cars 2) Ed casually talks about buying exotic cars like I talk about getting lunch from a fast food place 3) 7000 is an awesome tag to have, perhaps he they wanted 007, but someone with a higher status in the “org” had that one 😉

[@thecultivatedcollector]

So excited to help you find your Diablo, and excited to have you in the Diablo crew, @edbolian @vinwiki! Excited to see this car’s evolution!

[@mariodesmo]

Wait till the Yakuza show up at your house wanting their car back... lol

Idk what you're basing this on? Dougs channel has way more subs and views and he is the owner of Cars and Bids which is making him millions.

[@j_mars_cars]

Mentioned around 8:05 is Cameron Davis of DC motor works(?) and their Mercedes 6.9? My friend Alexander used to own one and we did a crazy trip from Wisconsin to South Dakota and back in one diesel 80’s Mercedes to pick up that 70’s (or late 60’s) gasser 6.9 450sel. Memories 😇

[@henrymorgan3982]

Only Ed can get a car like this! Great video great memories!

[@reptilez13]

Diablo may be my favorite Lambo. I know it was a rough example, but the only thing cooler is a Japanese modified one. You should do a collab with a Japanese tuner to now bring the stock Diablo back to Japanese tuner spec lol. Nowadays some of those lights would be diffused LEDs and look a lot better anyway. Cool car either way.

[@chadandersen2774]

I love the Japanese Lamborghini style. Such a fun look.

I was out in Arizona back in 1999 and bought an original '73 Chevy orange/white Heavy Half square body at an auction for $1,500. Got in it and drove it ALL the way back to Pflugerville, Texas, aka home. My only issue was a pin hole in the upper radiator hose at the hose clamp that I simply got out of the way by cutting the hose end off and kept on my merry way. . . . LOVED that damn truck!
