The shade at Tommy and his black couplers oh boy 😂😂
2:29 😂

Black couplers superior

Lol,that was too funny.
That black CRX has a dual cam ZC - D16A. Very rare motor nowadays.
Great Catch
Same as the d16z5✌🏻🇳🇱
Thank you! I was screaming the same thing at my phone. I'm not even a big Honda guy but knew what I was looking at
I’d rather pay 6k for the crx than that Ferio
The mini me great little motor
Notice the way matt listens when someone’s talking about something he doesn’t know. That’s why he knows the things he does. Blokes smart
Matt's the man he always gets roasted in the comments when something goes wrong or by the boys but he actually knows a lot he's always dropping random facts about random cars because like you said he soaks up that info when he gets the chance!
That dude sucks
a soarer is definitely not ugly. objectively.
It was even ahead of its time. But hey, if people don't like them, they'll be cheaper for people with good taste :)
@@i8yourDog bruh the second i can afford one, the old toyota lexus, had some of the fattest booty
ear end designs. supra having the fattest cakiest cake of em all tho.
I dunno, when they came out I found em kinda-ugly, kinda-charming. Sort of an odd retro-Euro vibe despite being popular with the tracksuits-and-pricey sneakers set.
@@OllamhDrab but dat 'yota booty u can sit a cup on thooooooooo
right a 1jz/r154 soarer is one my fav JDM's ever !
Sc300's were offered with manual trans in the US. Very rare but they do exist
I'm really hoping there's a follow-up called "My American Friend Swiped His Card And You Won't Believe What He Bought"
Crx has a ZC engine. Part of the d series engines
Cars are cheap in Japan, but import fees make them almost as pricey as a new car in America.
Same in germany 😢
@@gt86carlifeto bad that’s not what there talking about lmfao to get an amarican car over there cost more lmfao 😂😭
same in Asia…300% import duty
@@ameliamuraski2047 ur a weirdo
@@ameliamuraski2047 My answer is on the comment fron the guy and not on the video 🤔
The last gen celica to have pop up headlights was the st18x series. That wing is NOT an GT-Four wing unless it says it on the riser blocks. Otherwise its a SS-III wing
Don't show that boy any more cars!!! Americans tend to buy the first thing they see!!!! There are better options on that lot SAM!!!
Racist!
Guilty. I talk myself into shitty marketplace cars and trucks all the time. "Yeah but it has" "not that bad" "I've had worse" "looks sick though" "yeah but what if someone looked at it yesterday and is coming back to buy it" lol.
🔪💀
crx with the raised bit on the bonnet are a twin cam 1600 non vtec engine, ive got one, 135hp fully stripped out its fun on the twisties!
same goes with the EF civic with bonnet bump
The engine in the crx is a ZC engine it’s part of the D15 family
12:35 Dude $13k for a super clean black interior already manual swapped V300 Aristo is suuuuchh a good deal. I'm building a gs300 right now. Stateside for a V300 already here or a GTE swapped gs300 is usually $13k-20k depending on mileage n how clean it is
Awesome video as always Sammit. It’s always a party when all the boys are together in Japan.
20:09 that is a "zc" twin cam d series engine not a b series.
A good friend of mine in high school did a ZC swap on his CRX. It was actually a pretty preppy little car. One of the OG Honda guys in Colorado Springs had a shop “ZCSpeed”. He had a fully stripped civic hatch with a tuned N/A ZC that ran high 13’s at Pueblo. He was the guy to beat on the street back in the late 90’s-early 2000’s.
You and Rudnik are so funny together. Yall gotta meet up more
Only the SC400's came exclusively automatic in the sates.
SC300's came auto or manual.
They are fantastic cars lol
9:19 Those Super Volk wheels! OMG, those hit me right in the nostalgia right there! I used to have those my 88 CRX back in the mid 90s. Mine were the G1 with the valve stem on the outer lip.
GS300 sold in uk spec was definitely sold mainly in auto but certainly some manual.
9:43 don't forget the crystal ashtray.
22:07 why was this so wholesome 😂😂
8:36 well that was perfect timing. I hear "that's jdm wiring" I snap my head around to look at the screen and all I see is a Hercules circular saw on screen, I was so confused, then the commercial started.
that crx 25xt is a dohc d16 probably the rarest d series
The Aristo was the only other car to come with the 2JZGTE. If you're gonna get one, make sure it's a V300 (turbo) not the S300 (N/A) .
Vertex edition just had some trim updates, like 17" wheels instead of 16".
Also they only came in auto.
TOMS released some as well with a custom gauge cluster and were tuned for more power.
19:10 That S12 was up on BeForward a while back for under $10K. It's sold now. Somebody got a nice 1.8 turbo Silvia.
The crx isn't b series it's a zc series
In the US jobs out of highschool paid more. So they lowered horsepower and called it "emissions" because kids would walk out of highschool into a high paying factory job and then buy some muscle car, only to wrap themselves around a tree on the weekend drunk driving.
That sticker price at dealer typically includes Japanese buyers tax. The export price is lower.
Sammit great vid always enjoy the out of the shop exploration vids especially car lot vids so many great choices I'd be like a kid in a candy store 😂 great work 👍
The civic 4 door is probably a d15b engine it's a jdm engine and arguably the best dseries single cam engine to tune
And has te most horsepower I thought out off the dseries
I love a eg 4 door
The eg is just so good in any form
6:54 😂 they shoulda made you say “HK” lol
hatech k😂
Aristos are so slept on here in the states. My friend in San Diego picked one up for $3k . He got a deal!!
in america the a70 supras we got the 7mge and 7mgte motor it's not that bad of an engine but it's not the same as a 2j. I also don't think there was a lot of aftermarket support for it
@@PDNW 7mge were ehhh reliable but slow, 7mgte had head gasket issues but made jam when they worked 😂
15:50 I like that Atlas back there.
If that 86 had a 4age in it they made at most around 115-120hp stock they aren’t fast at all but they handle well and have nearly 50/50 weight distribution once you drive one it’s just sm fun
The aristo is the most underrated one there tbh....the 1st or 2nd gen was great and they have all wheel steering as well and you can deactivate the AWS....I've had many aristos 1st and 2nd gen toyota aristos
"This makes me want to smoke boges" is the most New England shit ive heard this entire trip
20:06 - That's an 88/89 EF7 Si... They were powered by the 1.6L non-VTEC ZC engine. The valve cover looks kinda similar to the non-VTEC B series from the Integra.
EDIT: $9000 USD - wow, my EF8 SiR was $5500USD landed in Canada back in 2005... prices sure have gone up! Damn
The silver silver RX7 has a VeilSide kit:RX-7 FD3S VSD1-GT MODEL. The Honda CRX has a zc motor in it. 1500cc DOHC non VTEC with 130hp
Sammit you need to come to the caribbean
Hell yhea he should come see the car culture in Puerto Rico 🔥🔥
Fr, in trinidad we got laurels for dayyyyys😂 everything rhd
St Lucia 🇱🇨
yeah. no. lmao
Aruba got some gems too
19:05 right behind the white s15 is a s12 hatch with rose clear corners 🤤😍 has the body kit on it too agh go back and film it pleaseeeee
😂 just said the same thing how do over look something like that idk how rare they are there?
@ there are 3 I know of at auction over there for far too much asking price
That CRX is money... 10k for a Glass Top Rex... The motor has to be a DOHC ZC motor
That crx hood is for the zc motor,
Its basically a dual cam d16 series. I have one in my car nice for a different motor but its kind of a P.I.A. to deal with parts
@20:11 that’s a ZC. It’s a dual over head cam D series
as for the black CRX, yes we got the dual cam zc honda motors in the states. mostly came in early model integras with pop-ups
12:00 1jzgte is not obd2 compliant until jzx110, so that is why it's a no go.
Also mid 90s. You see what they sold back then in USA!?
Could roll the dice at the Auction, but like you said they get them running to a decent extent which is a nice little bump.
Thank god we don't have any restrictions in the uk so many of the cars in the video have been here well over 20 years so we don't get milked robbed buying cars from Japan.
6k usd is just over 10k nzd now i know why cars are getting more pricey to buy in New Zealand
They also made a toms racing aristo alongside the vertex edition! Cool motors that nobody really knows about, especially when the aristo is the whole reason the 2jz was created!
Currently own a mica blue gs300 with the n/a 2j and I couldn’t be happier when I drive it!
Only downside is they share a lot with the supra mk4 so for an lsd or whatever ends up being big money here in the uk
Anyone else still waiting for the Sammit order from early September?
Hey guys just so you know that CRX does not have a b series in it that's a dual overhead cam zc motor they did come with a b16 but that is definitely a dual cam zcbasically a dual cam d-series motor overhead cam ZZ
Did the MK3 Supra turbo come with a 1jz in North America?
@@Fabulousprofound168 nope came with a 7m-gte
So mad you skipped the CRZ at the end I have one and would have loved to see the gauges
Americans drooling over shite car is comedy gold.
20 to 30 percent mark up for dealerships in Australia and the rest. Add another 0 onto that. It's 200 to 300 percent. Dealerships will rob you blind.
My 180SX back in 2000 was 3k all up delivered to Australia and complied was 9k and I still own it.
So many good JDM cars 🤤 I'm freaking out over the gs300 and how clean it is
Its certainly Celica in the uk just as you said it Sam & its been pronounced that way here since launch in the 70s & many generations.
19:00 I’m lookin at that Nissan s12 👀👀
The Celica actually had an "SS III" model that had the GT4 kit/look from factory.
19:30 RE amemiya rx7 mirrors, maybe reps but RE amemiya style if reps. I like them.
15:49 now I needa see mark do a j turn
The 1991 Soarer GT was the only car that i can think of the came with the 1jz for the us market.
18:29 they either always have the same nardi junk or that one same cheap gold momo with the top stripes
The crx is a d16 dohc engine not a b series
Yep dohc d16zc
We got 1jzs in the 91-92 mk3s in the us the only ones
That MKII Grande just needs the VIP tray table and its sorted
XD i love the energy you and ruddy have! you guys are fkn awesome!
celica is correct not cel ee ca
yessss the pop ups one is the best one
Not me looking at the Mazda6 wagon chilling behind the purple Soarer
boa of woa is the funniest existing thing. never gets old
JZA70s came with either 1JZ's or the 7mgte. The later being trash compared to the 1J. But America being America I wouldn't be surprised if the 70s came with a totally different motor that is worse than the 7M.
Makes me glad i grew up in NZ in the 90s, we had alll the japanese imports, i remember soo many of these and all soo cheap back then
My first car was a 180sx 300 dollar shitebox
Cars are cheap in the UK too. Can't believe the prices of cars over there AND they have a much better selection of cars then here in the US. The US sucks when it comes to the automotive market. 😔
Loving this hanging with the homies video
You could have told that wasnt a GT4 Celica (starting S :) ) The GT4 has a vent on the bonnet
dude, duuuuude, dude, dude, duuddeeee, duuddee, I know, duuuuuude.
@@RCJPOP WHERES MY CAR??? SAMMIT EDITION!!!
say it in caps your not over reacting enough DUUUUDDDDEE
@stevomax??? Sounds like wannabe jackass characters, right? Left??? Broken
I’ve seen soarers for 11k in the U.S so that dealership definitely has a big markup imo, I remember I used to see sc300’s go for like 2k 😅 oh well
that little eg 4 door manual rare af over here in the states
The crx is a d16zc sammit before the b-series
I saw that crx hood and immediately knew it had a dual cam d16zc
celica is pronounced both ways depending on if you're british or american. Its just one of those words.
When you bring your car friends that dont work on there own stuff😂😂 oh look at the blue
Google "toyot celica commercial" and how it's pronounced in those commercials is different than how Sam pronounces it.
Price+shipping+taxes etc. I guess the US doesn't have import taxes?
That murdered MKII is LUSH now you got me frothing over here in Perth
Its like AA meeting at a bar on penny pitcher nite hahaha
Sam for the next season of FD or for a future one you should look at driving a JZX like Daigo Saito back in the day
😳 how did you over look the Silvia s12! Make a video on that! They are pretty rare in the US.
What store is this and do they have a website?
The aristo clean what’s the cost to import
as an st183 owner, yes it is the peak generation.
Wasn't the jzx 90 ruddys free or am i wrong i remember he was in a drift event and he got it free or he might got a good deal on it
the 4 door r32 is the exact car ive been looking at on be forward probably wont be able to get it but still cool to see and the good price
(Oh, for the record, 'Sellicka' is how it's pronounced (and how it was marketed) in the US for whatever reason.)
No it's not. USA doesn't decide how Japanese cars names are pronounced!! You can't even say aluminium 😂😂
@@knifethrower9733 How it is in the US is how it is in the US. And that's how the commercials said it. Why would anyone look further?
Also I like so say 'Aluminiuminum' just to cover all my bases. :)
only the 1uz came auto but the 1j had a manual option in aus
Can't believe you took no notice of the original s chassis the white s12 silvia.
I'd love to get one of those CR-Xes
