I really do love the Japanese culture. I've been fortunate enough to have visited both the mainland and Ishigaki island and I must say even in the hustle and bustle of big mainland cities like Osaka and Kyoto the people there are super nice! Their English may be non-existent but if they sense you need help they will do their best using sign language or even google translate on their phones to get you on your way. Experiences with strangers like this leave a forever last memory. Japan has always been a place I would love to go and visit more. Ettique over there is so nice that in U.K where I'm from if you want to give way or thank someone you flash your high beams, but in Japan they turn their head lights off to the side lights and then turn them back to dipped beams so that they ensure not to blind the other driver! How considerate is that!! I only learnt that when I hired a car and drove out at night.
Kanayama-san struck me as an awesome guy. I think his general S2K buying advice is spot on and will become more so as time goes by. I sometimes forget that Japan did not get the AP2v1 cars with the cable-based throttle. My favorite thing about the mat design you went with is that they actually cover the molded cross brace area, helping to prevent the excessive carpet wear that inevitably occurs there.
I love how he can nerd out about floor mats of all things. The attention to detail the Japanese have is insane in the best ways possible. Also super friendly and clearly a major car guy that just wants to chill and talk car stuff all day. Best kind of person.
Albo I love your videos, but all I have to complain about is the camera shake! I'm not sure if you've tried using gimbals before but if you haven't you should give some a try.
Thanks! I’m sorry I have a gimball and a better camera but this was a spur of the moment shoot and I brought an older camera with me. It actually has good in built stabilization but it was turned off for some reason. Definitely will reduce the shakiness next time 🙏
@@ALBO Oh okay! Yeah the stabilization bring turned off makes sense, doesn't really matter though cause I still loved the video! Congrats on the floor mats, they look brilliant!
JDM floormats are pure ribbed joy and satisfaction! Lol When I had a modified EP3, I couldn't wait to replace my new non Honda mats with new JDM Honda Type R mats! Maybe not as cool as ASMs but satisfying all the same.
I love the mats. I want a set of black and red for my CR. Only a few problems, one being the price and the fact that I’d have to take a razor knife to them to make it contour and lay flat around the roll cage floor support bar. One of those problems with a full cage setup. Even the premium access mats or any mats I have to cut them.
@@Thenormalguy_real_one I bought the P2M floor mats and to have a leather pedal box reinforcement on the drivers side, and to cut and bind the passenger floor mat around the cut to accommodate the roll cage bar reenforcement was pretty expensive for someone to run an industrial sewing machine for 5-10 minutes. $150 on top of cost of the mats.
I'm sitting in my sim rig at the moment with checkered black and white eunos roadster limited edition mats only available on a special edition in 96 i think, don't know if they were made by Karo or not but are still in remarkably good condition for there age and have some great engrish on a cool metal badge ''Contemporary Automobile Advance And Traditional Sports Car ROADSTER EUNOS''
Leave the front yellow tape on the chin spoiler. It would look really clean if you do yellow tape at the bottom of the side skirts and rear diffuser as well.
Any good brands for 80s Toyota floor mats to order in from Japan? I have floor mats driving me crazy in my AW11, they slide around a ton, something that sits as long as your new mats would be awesome
Ended up going with CocoMats, pricy but wow are they great quality and look great, they typically are spec'd for Porsches and other Euro marques but they do custom sizing for just about everything now!
yo does anybody know where i can get these oem checker mats for the is300? please let me know- i know about the p2M brand but i’m looking for different colors not the black/gray
I hate those standard checkered floor mats here in Japan with a passion, mostly because they change over to them on cars who already have nice OEM floor mats. I just bought my first car here in Japan yesterday, a Golf 6 GTI and what’s inside? Checkered floor mats. And what is missing? The original GTI floor mats… I could go crazy. Ps: if anyone is saying I should have bought a Japanese Car then my answer is as simple as this: I looked at them , but I will not pay 20k for a Japanese “Sports” car with over 150-200k on the clock, an almost F’ed up interior and questionable exterior, when I was able to get the GTI for under 9grand with less than 24000km.
Really cool cars as well as nice mats, if there wasn't another reason for liking the mats well just cause they look cool is enough for me 😁 don't forget to check out our latest video friend
Interior mods are the best mods!!
Karo floor mats for the eg?
Dustin is a REAL ONE for taking the time to drop comments on other creators videos. #jdmfamily
The ASM manager seems like a very cool dude 💪🏼

I love Albos mask sliding down every 5 secs lmaoo
a full minute of hai starting at 13:20 🤣
ikr
I counted 36 until 14:15 that should be a world record lol
Sup, can we translate your videos?
Couldn't sleep so decided to check up with ALBO adventures. Love it! Want to be back in Japan so bad.

I love how cleanliness of cars is big in Japanese culture. It seems like they truly take care of their cars! So cool
the fact that you did a 30 minute video on floormats is amazing

It’s a blessing and a joy to live life the way you choose. Enjoy yourself and all that comes to you my friend. Life truly is precious.
This channel is so underrated, I've been watching Albo's videos ever since I was in high school.
Only albo could trick us into watching a 30 minute about floor mats and us enjoy it
I feel like Japanese people will be really good at reversing. If there is a reverse comp the Japanese will win for sure
Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai
Love how hyped you got during the ASM visit, I'd be stoked as hell too!
Love these kind of mods. And yes i have to catch up with 1 year of videos . Love the Channel!
Karo floormats > J's Racing floormats
"Normal" ASM floormats 😄...they are quite crispy, I'll give them that 😎
0:00 - 0:45 is all it took to make me subscribe. glad i found you!
Albo I love your videos, but all I have to complain about is the camera shake! I'm not sure if you've tried using gimbals before but if you haven't you should give some a try.

I was just looking at interior mods and saw these type of style mats and you just released this lol. I might just get some myself
I just found this channel. That's so rad you picked up those mats. Great content! I dig your passion in JDM.
this is such a quality vid man love it
Man i love so much watch your videos, love you
I’d love a set for my Fk8 but it’s LHD and I’m in the US :( The quality looks top notch.
Anyway, great video Albo! Really enjoyed it.

Could you not take it some where to get it professionally cut and embroidered on the edge or sm like that?

@@TradingTendies oh damn
Just discovered this channel, where have you been? Spot on content that we like!
I'm here Albo, right on time
Looks so good, solid upgrade.
bro i actually love these vids
Damn ur s2k looks so good.. def will hit up ASM when borders opening
Take a shot everytime Albo says 'Hai' xD

Those S2000s outside look amazing but we all know that silver Prius 4 is the real deal
Throw back to when albo spilled his drink at a restaurant 🤣
I have them on my ND Miata. I just like the look lol.
ASM customer service is next level.
Nice ones! You also need a larger mask so that you don't always fidget with it, lol.
Those some amazing sport car floor mats. The fact it was designed by a ex race car driver makes them worth the cost
FLOOR MATS ARE THE FLEX!
honestly, I really didn't like the wing at first but it's growing on me.
Awesome s2k albo, may I ask any reason u didn't go with ASM gt wing and went with J's racing ?
I love your content man
Sick video!
My man reached 300k very recently. He is already at 320k he deserves it and he shouldn't have to get 300k to get himself floor mats...
From 13:17-14:17 how many times does he say "Hai" Lmao. I counted 28
Keep the tape fs you put it on for a reason 😀👍🏼
Where can I find in the internet of the stock AP1 for sale?
Hey man can you fit those CE28 rims without having to roll the fenders?
Man anywhere over there have some jdm headlights for sale . ?
Or ap2 bumper.?
mr albo when he was showing you the floor mats you kept saying “hai” what does this mean if you don’t mind me asking
"yes"
はい can be said as “yes,” “ok,” or generally as mmhmm when following in conversation
I want a set of those too! And I don't even have an S2000.
Where can I see the details of the stock S2K ap1 white?
What is it like having the handbrake on the far side of the driver seat?
Any good brands for 80s Toyota floor mats to order in from Japan? I have floor mats driving me crazy in my AW11, they slide around a ton, something that sits as long as your new mats would be awesome

It look nice Albo!
What fog lights are those? link?
i found really tastefully done 2003 s2k for 11k euros, but im 16 and i have to be 18 to drive in france, i hope the new owner will take care of it.
AP2 Bumper ALL DAY
You completely ignored the Prius and the Civic FK8 (this one looked worthy to notice and well that Lexus SUV ) :p
Its funny how Albo is an English teacher and often gets stuck trying to find the word he's thinking of lol
*Was*, I’ve forgotten all my English, uh, what’s the word, now
yo does anybody know where i can get these oem checker mats for the is300? please let me know- i know about the p2M brand but i’m looking for different colors not the black/gray
Length good to stop debris in other areas.
This is ASM ASMR
5:10 casually ignores the type R ☠️
is it just me or ALBO is filiming next to a Mart every video LOL
Albo where's the best place in Japan to buy cheap in tacked jdm cars. I want to import one to South Africa

Wait … this isn’t a video of a Japanese car girl 😾 .
Can’t go wrong with that
love it
Id love a set for my dc2 but i cant justify the pricetag right now 😂 so sick though
Lets gooo!!
lets goooooo!!!!!
So it's technically the same, but actually limited just because it's got a 40th anniversary badge?
Pity that I'm an SE-3P fan, so I'm kind of ignored by the aftermarket.... :'(
Really cool cars as well as nice mats, if there wasn't another reason for liking the mats well just cause they look cool is enough for me 😁 don't forget to check out our latest video friend
Sick af

S2k looking amazing as always. Not a fan of the tape though
