One of the main reasons why I’ve been a fan of yours for quite some time now is the incredible quality of your content, it feels as much professional as it feels personal, nothing is unnecessary in your videos, from the pure car content, the laughs, the helpful tips to the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji at the end. Truly the type of content I would gladly pay to watch on Amazon prime !
Fuji looks frightening when you actually get to drive in it, specially with all those quick cars passing by. That was the state of racing there in the early 80s, when multiclass grids could consist of +300 km/h capable Group C cars, and Sunny B310s or Starlets under 1.3L sharing the track. Awesome vid.
Alright Alexi, we're going to need a pedal cam and some live circuit maps if you're doing grip, it's only fair. Can't wait to see the probox at Bathurst.
'This is Mt Fuji, it is the pride of Japanese natural beauty. This is Fuji Speedway, it is the pride of Japanese motorsport. And this is my Probox, which is...uh, a car.' Iconic intro, Noriyaro xD Incredible! And what a way to live out our Gran Turismo dreams! Also, anyone else getting throwbacks to that Top Gear episode where they took three knackered old Alfa Romeos to a trackday and got passed by EVERYONE? Yeah, definitely getting that kind of energy from this xD And to make another Top Gear reference, 'WE WEREN'T BOTTOM!!' *points at the last place team* 'LET'S GO DOWN THERE AND MOCK' :')
Super RAPs and no more roof rack means WEIGHT REDUCTION! Though, it would be nice to see a full detailing session of the ProBox... Even just a pressure wash of the roof 😂
once you said stock brakes I knew the outcome haha, I tried a track day with almost new stock rear brake pads on my s15 and they wore out to almost nothing after 4 hard brakings at 150km/h
Everything about this is so MEGA. Full marks for creativity and purity. Not to mention that it reminds me of track days gone by that I intentionally took “underwhelming cars“ to… Thank you for this content!
I know that having cool looking cars is impressive, but for me, having something that you can make memories with is so much better. The Probox might just be your bog standard utility vehicle, but you can do so much with it, and not only racing/drifting/showcar stuff. It's not always you can take your trackday toy to a roadside parking spot and simply chill with some food.
Looks like you got super lucky with the weather. Such a good view of Mt Fuji! Really impressed at how well the probox did and how long the brakes lasted
Man what a genuinely perfect video, and so appreciative of the side things you film, as simple as an ice latte by a lake is it has the special Alexi charm. keep up the amazing work ❤
Every Aussie knows that guy with steelies on a Commodore/Falcon that tells everyone they're pursuit rims, Alexi's living the dream chucking em on the Probox 😂
I'm not only here for the ProSucc content, I swear. Love the idea of taking something so extraordinarily mundane, fitting sticky rubber on it and just flogging it around a track! A minor brake upgrade seems wise though. Can't wait to see how this car develops over time!
Here's hoping you get to turn it into sleeper car at some point! Also gotta love the practicality of being able to bring both your gear and buddies in the same car if you wanted to.
Honestly I find spiritedly driving everyday cars much more fun than track monsters. There is a certain esoteric quality to driving slow cars fast. Also it's quite funny when a tiny, bone-stock 1.2L rustbucket from the 90s can go head-to-head with more powerful modern cars. Hope you can get the most fun out of your Probox, Alexi!
Best video yet, well done. Those are killer tyres for the car and had to laugh at 'I'll let these guys go past". However, you probably had as much fun as all the others.
Probox is an interesting car. Never knew about them until I saw them in Yangon, Myanmar as their regular taxis. Tonnes of them got shipped directly from Japan, with the Navi screen still pointing somewhere in Japan.
Great driving, this is how you start every project car 😅 Lovely scenery too, reminding me every time I still have to visit Japan for once. And thank you for the ending, I always get a good laugh out of it 🤣
Man, you got some cajones driving that thing around a track, well done dude. Hope the Probox gets some mods and can start showing up some of those super cars! Thanks for the vids dude. 🤘
Testing the brakes is definitely important on the faster straights. I found that out after suffering from a worn wheel bearing during a race at a local circuit. I was leading the race by a good bit, however my front had a failing wheel bearing allowing knockback. Needless to say the next big straight, go for the brakes and nothing! Nice long trip trough the grass, got passed by 2nd and 3rd. Fought my way back to 2nd place to finish the race. I have been testing brakes on the straights since!
Nice chill video, taking out the prosucc for a little track action, very cool. And the scene at the end was quite cool aswell, with the nice clear view of Mt Fuji. Lets see how good the Prosucc can get with some upgrades.
Cars like these are hilarious to drive around in because the cost to operate and maintain are so low and the fun factor so high. All a track car really needs is tires, pads, fluid and suspension Probox induction sounds awesome
I had a 2002 toyota echo as my first car and seeing this made me miss the thing. It was small, struggled going up hills, so much body roll, and it had good millage.
In Japan for the next month, hoping to hit some of the north tokyo area tracks and haruna. Already went around all of Kyushu in a Kei RV. Thanks for showcasing all these awesome places
Man that closure: trunk door open, out with the toolbox aaaaannd let's sit down and enjoy a nice latte (or whatever 🤣)..... Just nailed it!!!!!👍👍👍 That was a killer view! Just the right amount of clouds for me👍
That must be a somewhat scary experience to drive the box next to those sport cars. Also I’m still laughing, wasn’t expecting that German at the end of the vid XD
The wheels are a perfect fit, Mitsumori-san was right. If you get better brakes and basic suspension it should be great fun and look even better. Also, you can shift by ear. Once you get used to the car you don't even need the tach since the engine doesn't rev that fast and you'll hear the tone of the engine "asking" for the next gear. Rev matching does take more practice though Hope to see more of the Prosucc xD, this is S tier content
I honestly think the Probox is my favorite car of yours. Would love to see it turned into a proper sleeper for grip driving with a few engine mods and some proper brakes and maybe suspension, or at least some anti roll bars.
You could easily turbo this car there are alot of turbo kits from the Vitz RS in Japan. The Vitz RS had a turbo version with the same 1NZ- FE engine but came with an turbo wich put out 150 HP.
I just did an engine overhaul on that 1NZ motor on Toyota Vitz/Vios SEA market sedan today,valve springs really not too stiffer like any other motor that I worked it on
I know this is primarily car-related content but man I'm a sucker for all that extracurricular stuff you do like restaurants relaxation scenery.
Same fr
It would be nice to see more of a vlog feel to it. Wined, dined , and 69ed ya know.
his side quests are rad for sure
They are honestly my favourite bits of Noriyaro videos and I am here for the car content.
yes! by far my favourite video is still the rainy tyre shop 86 drift with the dinner at stamina taro. perfect mix.
Man, love seeing Alexi having fun and chilling in the box, dude is living that good life
he is really living the dream of many, love his content, every video of his is like a small celebration
what is yo name
Going full Prosucc at the end.

That was edited??
Semi-slickest

For real
Love the b roll at the end, makes for a really satisfying ending to the day.
This (channel) is, no joke, some of the best content on youtube. Thanks for making videos.
That's one nice view of Mt. Fuji. Super chill after a quick trackday.
Sliding into that light vlog feel at the end really made this an episode, very nice
10/10 car
I cant wait to see the Probox conquer the big 3 circuits. So awesome.
What's the 3rd after Suzuka? Motegi?
6:25 the scenery from the track is just magnificent
Right from the Toyopet 100R corner
Believe it or not, but this series is the one I am most hyped for. Absolutely legendary
9:05 yes! More of these explanations with visual cues. So helpful! Good idea.

Your videos are like hanging out with a friend who's a total car guy. And we get to see some of Japan's scenic beauty. Thanks for a fun ride!
Absoloutely loving the Probox content! would love to see more, keep up the great work man!
I had a Probox & i used to hate it.. But now i feel sometimes we just need ”The Car" thing 🙌🏼🔥
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Front engine, front wheel drive, manual. lightweight plastic interior from factory. truly a factory beginner circuit car.
hope to see more grip racing in the future, and can't wait to see the progress on the Probox.

That was a fun time. It's always great to see cars that aren't meant to go fast, go as fast as it can!
Man what a genuinely perfect video, and so appreciative of the side things you film, as simple as an ice latte by a lake is it has the special Alexi charm. keep up the amazing work ❤
approve of the half cabs as a shoe choice, also i like the small touch of using the straight bar lacing
Every Aussie knows that guy with steelies on a Commodore/Falcon that tells everyone they're pursuit rims, Alexi's living the dream chucking em on the Probox 😂
Loving the Probox content! Thanks dude!
hell yeah brother ive been impatiently waiting for some probox content to drop
now I just need to see the cresta in action and i'll be a happy boy
I'm not only here for the ProSucc content, I swear.
Love the idea of taking something so extraordinarily mundane, fitting sticky rubber on it and just flogging it around a track!
A minor brake upgrade seems wise though. Can't wait to see how this car develops over time!
Great video. Love the video series with the Prosuck. Please do more. Love a track day like this. Awesome cars at the track. Keep up the good work.
The clearest shot of Fuji I have seen on a show in a long time, usually it's all clouds
The intro NEVER gets old. Every video feels like I’m watching the latest episode of my favorite anime. Good fuckin stuff
Here's hoping you get to turn it into sleeper car at some point!
Also gotta love the practicality of being able to bring both your gear and buddies in the same car if you wanted to.
That view of fuji just chilling with a coffee is a dream come true 😌
I agree and the stunning beauty I thought I was there for a second nearly teared up
I don't know how you do it, but every single video of yours feels so incredibly wholesome!
Honestly I find spiritedly driving everyday cars much more fun than track monsters. There is a certain esoteric quality to driving slow cars fast. Also it's quite funny when a tiny, bone-stock 1.2L rustbucket from the 90s can go head-to-head with more powerful modern cars. Hope you can get the most fun out of your Probox, Alexi!
WORLDS FASTEST VAN ANY% WR
"that is a porschE...it is from DEUTSCHLAND!!!" hahahahah, the last seconds of your vids never fail xD
Best video yet, well done. Those are killer tyres for the car and had to laugh at 'I'll let these guys go past". However, you probably had as much fun as all the others.
This was a very enjoyable video. Would definitely want to see some more grip content!

I have Probox too! I love my car. NCP51 1NZ-FE, 2008.
Glad to see the Proscucc in action! That looked like you had a blast!
T1 after that first hot lap would have been terrifying, that's a lot of trust in a stock set of toyota brakes.
I spent the night before looking at T1 crash videos on TH-cam and seeing what part of the fence had the most runoff 😅
Absolutely loving the Probox content
Cant wait to see the probox getting more performance upgrades
Nice chill video, taking out the prosucc for a little track action, very cool. And the scene at the end was quite cool aswell, with the nice clear view of Mt Fuji. Lets see how good the Prosucc can get with some upgrades.
Driving a slow car fast is much more fun than driving a fast car slow. Seems you have taken this to heart
its a happy day again. I see a new noriyaro video, just immediately brightens my day
The ending bit there was super relaxing, it makes me wish there's more stuff like that. Just Alexi chilling and sippin'

If nothing else it will be interesting to see if the wind deflectors add horsepower. I envy that view of Mt Fuji @11:25 bud. Great stuff as always.
I have fell in love with the probox, please make this into a track sleeper beast!
I love how the gps screen on the top of the dash moves around from the Incredible G’s of the Probox
was waiting for this one! it was amazing, cant wait for the further updates on the prosucc!
Prayers for the people the giant swan ate. Hope they catch it soon.
Definitely keep the Probox content coming, I'd love to see a slow progression of a few reasonable mods to improve it on the track 👌
the rap wheels are perfect!
Gawd damn the view. I would watch the heck out of a series that consists of the "best driving roads" of japan type of series
Hey Alexi I like the little detours! I hope you keep them because I enjoy them as much as the car content.
Hi Alex Much love from the UK You’re right it is a delivery vehicle because it’s going to be delivering great content lol
fun game, take a shot every time alexi gets lapped 🥃
That's a death sentence
Nice video!! Its a dream came true for me, to make a few laps on my car on the legendary fuji speedway.
Saludos desde Argentina!
This was a fun video ! Loved the relaxed ending too
In Japan for the next month, hoping to hit some of the north tokyo area tracks and haruna. Already went around all of Kyushu in a Kei RV. Thanks for showcasing all these awesome places
A whole month!?!?!
@@s70driver2005 yep, managed to get it off work
Enjoy!
2 videos in a week! Am I dreaming?
Love all your videos!
Awesome to see that you got the Toyota Probox Nori thats really cool next you need to get yourself a drift van ! LoL
Would absolutely love to see more grip driving content!
Love the vid, love the edit, the word play and the probox way in life 😂
great video alexi! loved the ending, visiting mount fuji someday is on my bucket list :)
Man that closure: trunk door open, out with the toolbox aaaaannd let's sit down and enjoy a nice latte (or whatever 🤣)..... Just nailed it!!!!!👍👍👍
That was a killer view! Just the right amount of clouds for me👍
Alexi, that's chilling with a first class view.. great content as always..
Well done! I actually raced an Rx8 up a hill in my modified Probox and won!
finally a new probox video after 8 months of waiting....
Great to see some grip! Hell yeah. Seriously awesome and fun to watch.
You have just single handedly increased the price of those wheels on the current market, STONKS! =D
That must be a somewhat scary experience to drive the box next to those sport cars. Also I’m still laughing, wasn’t expecting that German at the end of the vid XD

Hard disagree. Say "pro laps" at every opportunity.

12:48 i always wait for this bits when the video ends 😂
Alexi tells the last two drivers: get rekt. XD Made my entire day.
It looked fun either way! Can't wait to see more handling upgrades :)
This is the type of motorsports I live for, vehicles that were never meant for track blasting around at full send.
Great vid, love to see a Probox sleeper build series
