Right, he's had so much bad luck with his cars and trying to get them sorted back out there hadn't been much drifting in a while. His journalism skills are nearly on par with his drifting skills though.
For years this has been the only channel on TH-cam where I can click on a half an hour long video, and sit through the entire thing without taking my eyes off the screen. Alexi for me is the best automotive TH-camr out there! - Cheers from Poland. ( :
@AClockHead103 Does it run at all? Or did you just buy it to get an authentic body? Not into cars much, but that sounds a bit too cheap for a running car
AClockHead103 Now that's an emabarrassment. Seeing 4age an association with ae86 immediately jumped out. But I forgot that it's not a car model, but a part :D Makes much more sense this way. Good luck with reassembly!
Awesome vlog. Nice car meets at the start. Thinking about getting Volvo wagon or any wagon as the next daily or weekend travel car. The drifting event was great, nice to see a mix of different cars. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
I lived in Germany for a decade. Taking the Autobahn every day was a joy, even in my dad's AE86. We used to see Ferrari and Porsche, but the real rockets of the Bahn were Volvo 760R and 850R wagons. The supercars wouldn't mess with them. Truly a funny site to see a boxy wagon hitting 300 kph every morning on the way to school.
Really enjoyed the video! Haven't seen much drifting lately and finally got to see a Z drift on your channel,, you seem to always pass over them at meets and whatnot! Excited for your next video!
I built a chevy astro and put a 400hp v8 in it. Gave it custom grafix paint, lowered and rims. It was a wild little drag racing van that was really fun to drive race and carry friends around with.
No worries if you mistake trim levels.(I’m in the U.S) my dad used to have a 1985 Chevy Astro cherry red, curtains inside, even the cargo ladder in the back. Cool to see the vehicle diversity in Japan !!
For those of you who now want a backup alarm in the states, amazon sells a programmable 12v buzzer for about $30 that should hopefully do the same thing. all you'll have to do is get the audio for it, which shouldn't be hard if you look around. haven't done it yet myself but it shouldn't be too difficult
how much easier is it to drift a go kart? when i was a kid i drove go karts every now and then and i always drifted. the instructors yelled at me every time, but i didn't care, it was so much fun.
In the 1990's there were companies like California Custom USA customizing brand new Astros and shipping them direct to Japan. There are plenty of Astros over there.
Awesome video man, love tgo see you drifting, it seems so easy jumping on a car you dont know like that and being really good. Sadly it's too short, we need more content XD !!!
A lot of the Astro vans in the U.K. have come via Japan. It’s crazy how far around the world cars get shipped, I’m sure a fair few have circumnavigated the world more than once.
I drove a 1999 AWD Astrovan during the winter in college one year and was putting a couple hundred miles a week on it. It would get 14mpg on the highway!
7:30 yoooo that white t5r there were only like 2 made. all colors were cream yellow, black, and a forest green, if thats a factory white one its a unicorn. i think there were 2 white and a grey that went to dubai. i have a black t5r wagon that i manual swapped =)
Awesome to see some R31s getting some love. We don't get anywhere near enough. Any experience with them Alexi? I've gotta agree on the r32/c33 mix. I genuinely thought it was a z30 soarer until I saw the rear quarter panels.
What i enjoyed more in this video is that i have the japan etc tag in my Australian delivered subaru saying the same thing haha also loved the caption LOL
Good find! I bought my Volvo 850R from Japan (imported to Hong Kong); auto, near mint condition, British racing green, and pretty much a joy to drive & work on. Kinda wish I bought a manual but traffic here would make that a nightmare.
At 6:52 made me laugh. I worked in the auto industry in Cali as a detailer for about 6 years (before I moved up to parts). I put those things on every car I did. I find it funny that a guy put that on his vehicle. But awesome video Alexi!
Honestly I'd rock one of those vans, looks like the best vehicle to just go for a long roadtrip with your mates. The seats just look oddly comfortable..
Japan is truly an automotive heaven.

It's so cool to see Volvo's getting some love from Japan!
Seeing the Volvo´s, especially the 855 estates, makes me so proud as a swede. Seeing a 745 container drifting in Japan would be so rad.
Jonas Larsson :’)
Makes me proud as an American Volvo lover
Woah! Was definitely not expecting Volvo content from Noriyaro, but I'm more than happy to see it!
You have an interesting name
@@thekodok8039 I enjoy coming up with very mature usernames :D
Same bro!!! Family of Volvos here.
I always love how friendly everyone is in Alexi's videos
19:04 that is the most convenient thing ive ever seen
Only in japan
Nissin also sold instant ramen in overseas countries, and some of their product have those holes as well. Well, at least in my country

Hi kids, could you explain to a Boomer why being “early” is a thing?
@@JDMism hard to explain.. but it's just a "TH-cam joke"
Angami Accent I understand people used to write “First” so I guessed it was just an evolution of that. Thanks for the response
JDM ism
It’s similar to the “First,” but these jokes are significantly funnier than the “First” comments which were quite annoying
A lot of Finnish people like Volvos and are interested in them. Theres a lot of history, for example they used to be built in Finland
yes
chrisu my summer car is a game like that

Quite interesting to see an Astro van in Japan
They’re quite cool actually 🇯🇵
only if 4x4
Perfect time to buy an 86 because with the virus situation the prices are lower. Plus in the future the nice ones will only appreciate.

3:25 Every older astro looks like that here, or worse, just so you know. Totally authentic.
Facts
I love the Astro van. Comfortable reliable and tons of room. I've never seen an Astro done up like this but I'm glad I did.
I love little things that get changed. Visor,gas tank label,etc. 💜
I'm always happy seeing you uploaded
I love how your videos are really a mix of Japanese and English, where you have both English AND Japanese fans watching. Feels really cool
I think this channel is a big reason why I really want to get into drifting, childish dream to some, but tons of fun to me
I could easily watch a hour vid from you
I don’t know why but I love your steering work!!Its so delicate and calm haha ❤️❤️
10:42 Alexi re-evaluating his life choices
Awesome to see some Volvo love on the channel, stay safe out there!
11:15 dear god it’s obunga
Thank you for showing of the Volvo s .
greatly apreciated
8:24 That sums up modern day life pretty well.
New noriyaro videos during this boring quarantine? HELL YEAH BABY!!!!
Such a brilliant video. 850 Volvos and a drift 240Z. Perfection!
That backup melody is neat lol. Japan always modding thats in such interesting ways
ITS 1:30AM! YOU KNOW I NEED TO WATCH THIS BEFORE I SLEEP ❤
Thanks for explaining the s13 silvia badging. Never seen anything other than Q's & K's, didn't know they were tiered off playing cards, really cool!
Great vlog, as always. The track is fast and flowing. Huge variety of cars too.
Oh my god those VOLVOS! I love all of them!
Yooooooooo! @7:30 is the first time I've seen any videos of in Japan with a 2gen Integra!! Thats awesome and would love to see more of them!!!
This was a great video ~ interesting from start to finish. Thanks as always
thank you alexi for bringing us along for the cool stuffs
Man that R33 is well built! Sounds amazing and drives smooth!
Man RWD vans do need to come back especially the Astro!
"Once you go wagon, you never go back..." is so true

Wow! 4:46 I'm from Sweden and we have a lot of Volvos here, but these are very mint looking 850R's! Awesome to see our cars in Japan!
I built a chevy astro and put a 400hp v8 in it. Gave it custom grafix paint, lowered and rims. It was a wild little drag racing van that was really fun to drive race and carry friends around with.
Great video as usual, I really love the pitwalk, so many rare and quirky cars around in japan.
The R32 with front swapped from a laurel looks awesome imo
My favorite late night content. Alexi with the 12am uploads! Hell yeah! Yee yee!
I’ve been following you for 5 years 🤙 keep the content going bro 🤙🤙🤙 much appreciated for the hard work you put in bro 🤙
No worries if you mistake trim levels.(I’m in the U.S) my dad used to have a 1985 Chevy Astro cherry red, curtains inside, even the cargo ladder in the back. Cool to see the vehicle diversity in Japan !!
LOVE you checking out the Volvos!!!
Finally Volvos!!! 😍 And yes, once you get a wagon, you can't go back!
Glad to see the car you were talking about on the Hoonigan live stream with the US specific parts!
The Volvo Polestar from the beginning of the vid is like a rare prototype of Volvo excelling at making a sports car and then abandoning it.

You can literally find any car make and type in Japan. Really want to go back once again in my life
astro vans are super dope, also they can pull some mean burnouts even when stock
It's so crazy how so many people in japan love usdm
how much easier is it to drift a go kart? when i was a kid i drove go karts every now and then and i always drifted. the instructors yelled at me every time, but i didn't care, it was so much fun.
I remember old tomi from his epic endless s13, such a iconic car from back in the day
Man...! Tk you so much for everything you make !!! :)
That R32+Laurel combo looks so sick!
Absolutely loved this one. Thanks Alexi 👍🏽
What’s up man! Great video as always. When everything clears up make the trip to Okinawa! I’d love to show you the island 🇯🇵
In the 1990's there were companies like California Custom USA customizing brand new Astros and shipping them direct to Japan. There are plenty of Astros over there.
Man that van is decked out
And I love that sticker 😝
That drifting looked like a lot fun, Alexi!!! 👍🏻
Awesome video man, love tgo see you drifting, it seems so easy jumping on a car you dont know like that and being really good. Sadly it's too short, we need more content XD !!!
Didnt expect a new noriyaro video this april. Keepsafe alexi!
that track looks so fun!
I absolutely love your videos man

I drove a 1999 AWD Astrovan during the winter in college one year and was putting a couple hundred miles a week on it. It would get 14mpg on the highway!
This video was very much appreciated, keep it up!
oh man the DA6 Integra at 7:35 , very rare in Japan and nice to see one out and about!
7:30 yoooo that white t5r there were only like 2 made. all colors were cream yellow, black, and a forest green, if thats a factory white one its a unicorn. i think there were 2 white and a grey that went to dubai. i have a black t5r wagon that i manual swapped =)
Awesome to see some R31s getting some love. We don't get anywhere near enough. Any experience with them Alexi?
I've gotta agree on the r32/c33 mix. I genuinely thought it was a z30 soarer until I saw the rear quarter panels.
I thought it was a cosmo at first but i was like wtf
What i enjoyed more in this video is that i have the japan etc tag in my Australian delivered subaru saying the same thing haha also loved the caption LOL
19:50 same like my onevia :). Nice, greetings from Poland
Fantastic video man!
Reverse melody is my new obsession. Thank you
Man, watching those classic nissans drifting together had me stressing
I had a astro van that I put a V8 in. Custom grafics paint job and lowered. It was a monster!
13:24 hiroshi fukuda 180sx in the back, sick
Love these small circuits, it looks like such a good time!
Good find! I bought my Volvo 850R from Japan (imported to Hong Kong); auto, near mint condition, British racing green, and pretty much a joy to drive & work on. Kinda wish I bought a manual but traffic here would make that a nightmare.
Your videos are a true constant of quality
Stay safe Alexi
Great content! that track had an epic flow to it.
At 6:52 made me laugh. I worked in the auto industry in Cali as a detailer for about 6 years (before I moved up to parts). I put those things on every car I did. I find it funny that a guy put that on his vehicle. But awesome video Alexi!
Dude your driving style is so fucking smooth 🤩🤘💪🏾💪
As always awesome content alexi. Btw that corolla at 21:35 reminds me of audi quattro. Maybe its just me. Stay safe out there!
It looks so fun and satisfying
Cool vid. Shame that no love for that sweet Renault Sport Megane sitting next to the Volvos :(
lowered Volvo estate - always surprised how creative they are in Japan in customization! 22:05 epic
Honestly I'd rock one of those vans, looks like the best vehicle to just go for a long roadtrip with your mates. The seats just look oddly comfortable..
