Can we all take a second to appreciate how well Jimmy put together his crew. They all seem to be good friends, get their shit done and all pretty good on camera. Especially Austin, he came in and assimilated to the group almost immediately. Props Papa Jim😂

[@pinecone1811]

Agree %100! The quality and quantity of the builds from that shop is incredible. 👍

I was stationed in Japan for 10yrs. I got to experience the car culture that you all are very much involved in. Thank you for being like minded humans JimmyO and Co.

[@CotyDube]

Why is this the best Jimmy Oakes video I've seen in forever? Its for sure the squad. Spoon, Austin, Dj, Rj, Stevie, they all bring so much to the vibe of the videos. Such good vibes

[@colinjackson2465]

For real, the quality was top notch on this one.

[@angrys13]

My sister was stationed in Japan and I had the lifelong blessing of being able to visit her, a few years prior to Covid. Let me tell you. It was EVERY THING I dreamed of. The culture, the people, the scenery, the satisfaction. You're going to love it, every second of it. I hope you soak up every moment!

[@Jbzy3000]

Spoon makes it look easy. Dude is an artist.

[@Lexz_is300]

I love this team so much man everyone out here showing up everyday with a positive attitude in life and the mechanic/internet world work is cool to see from Oakes garage.

Make sure Austin records his new car we want to see it he also part of the team. Stay blessed one love y’all!!!

Hyped for Japan !!!! Much deserved 🙌🏻 The spoon idea in the intercooler is a must do, titanium teaspoon 👌🏻😅 also can’t wait to see what spoon come up with when it comes to the shrouds/ducting , will he go simple or spoon over the top , happy to see either 🙌🏻

[@jeremyleverette6750]

It's crazy to see Jimmy an spoons mentality to cars. Jimmy is carefully keep it together no cutting. Spoon is "this Sparta " about it all an I love it. It's a car. Cut it

I can't believe you still don't have 500k followers yet man. You and the DPT are more entertaining channel that most of your youtube friends.

[@N3MAID3S]

I can't wait for Jimmy to drift in the matsuri. Every single youtuber i have seen drift in the matsuri or Japan in general, have improved tenfold. There's just something about Japan.

[@evanhajder]

Japan is amazing, I’ve been out here for almost three years now and haven’t regretted it yet.

[@fader2701]

Just returned from japan. Here are some tips: if you are going to be using the train system while you are there, especially if you are using the bullet trains; you need to get the JR rail pass. take mostly cash with you, as many places only accept cash. and especially any rural areas, cash only. use a small backpack, and always carry with you a gallon sized ziploc, as trashcans are not common....unless you use one at a convenience store. Dont sleep on the food at the convenience stores, it is cheap and really good. take insoles in your shoes if you are going to be walking around a lot. its not uncommong to do 25k-40k steps a day. make sure to take the yamanote line (green train) to akihabara and just explore all the buildings. have fun. and be polite. dont talk on the trains. and be respectful.

[@Tom-uk6jg]

As someone who has been to Japan a few times, It's fun seeing someone enjoy it for the first time. Excited for you

[@anthonyvillalobos5553]

You can make small tabs and put carbon fiber plates to cover the gaps on the intercooler

[@ClaytonF10]

Its crazy they’re still fully masked up in Japan. Very obedient people

[@selfmademike649]

Spoon from oakes garage n johan from lz are the 2 best fabricators around period. I am a welder myself n to watch these 2 just pushes me more. Also im so hyped for japan vlogs. I have seen the gram n fb posts n can't wait! Keep it up bois n austin you are doing an exceptional job too.

[@PennywiseM3]

Great team at Oakes Garage!!!

[@roninnattomorera3766]

I had just subbed to you yesterday. And I saw episodes of you and your crew working on this car. I was searching all over for some pretty knowledgeable stuff because I took interest into the fc rx-7s. I myself is planning to get one myself so I've been at it with a lot of vids all about this specific vehicle. And so far I never thought I'd get so hooked into seeing how much of a progress you all made with this vehicle. Sadly I had just got into the car game. But I've learned a lot and hopefully I get to own this Dream Car.

[@nzuncovered1845]

If you plan on drifting one, be sure to study the rear end in FCs. They aren't setup the best and have a weird progressive toe in, kind of like a budget 4WS setup that needs to be addressed to make them controllable while drifting

[@SMUDESS]

Post Japan drift jimmy is gonna go wild

I’m in Japan right now in the southern part. It’s good the people are nice. You’ll love it

[@SteveTheBeardedWonder]

Lol this video was a blast. Y'all seemed to have a blast together. Looking forward to Japan content.

[@myurcek05]

That low of an angle fir the radiator I think the intercooler is going to take priority when you want the radiator to take priority (especially with rotary) that's part of the reason why almost all Rx7's the intercooler is basically mounted horizontal.

[@A70Josh]

Excited for Japan content! Happy you finally get to go!

[@noelaquino9139]

Spoon... IN JAPAN!? Very Hyped!

[@Djdrok]

Spoons Welding signature should be a tiny spoon tacked on somewhere on all his fab work like exhaust etc. If he does the whole car then he can leave a easter egg or two somewhere.

[@HexyTech]

Sweet v mount, loving the rod bracket combo! Maybe moving the inlet/outlet on the radiator to the end (would be sticking straight up out the top if you imagined the rad in standard upright fitment) might make the hose routing and air bleeding a bit smoother than having them facing downward off what is now the bottom face of the rad?

[@negativeindustrial]

Exactly what I was thinking. I’m sure Spoon is already making it happen.

[@RishMedia]

Love out of country, hope to experience personally some day! Always good vibes with the CT boys.

[@LuckyFruitRacing]

You may want/need to put a couple bleed ports on the top tank of the radiator. With the inlet/outlets on the underside, there's potential for an air lock right across the top of the rad

[@jay-tk2go]

Great job spoon nailed it

[@jgreenMedia420]

[@PhantmZero]
