  • I've been to Hawaii a few times but every single time I go, I seem to be bombarded with some of my favorite cars, specifically those originating from Japan. Grab your popcorn because this is a long one. Sorry if this is taking you away from your homework. Use this video as an excuse when you get your test back with an F.

    Car culture is so underated in Hawaii. You got guys that build cars they got handed down from their family members. Its pretty crazy! Sick video and thanks for showing the car culture there!

    I have mad respect for Hawaiian core culture. It’s so expensive to modify and I know that they are strict with which modifications you can do. And everything has to be shipped to you… a pain in the ass! But these cars were all amazing 🤘🔥 these guys need a track

      $hipping is ridiculous... but when you love building cars, you buy it anyways. i see "Free Shipping" promotions, but i know im paying shipping to hawaii.

    • @rideintel9960
      @rideintel9960 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @kentbeitel9966 there are no emissions restrictions in Hawaii, (unlike California), so in that respect it's a bit easier. Yes, its more expensive to buy almost anything in Hawaii due to shipping costs, but the real challenge to having a heavily modded car is finding competent mechanics if you're not trained to do the work yourself. In the 10+ years I lived there, I only found 1 shop on the entire island of Oahu that was confident enough in their skills to replace the subframe bushings in my 350z...I sunk about $3k into a different shop to replace my clutch, install tein basic coilovers/transmission mounts, and fix my slave cylinder, but even after taking my money and holding onto my z for an entire month, they weren't honest or competent enough to actually fix my slave cylinder even though I paid them quite a bit of cash. Keep in mind, i brought all my own parts to the shop, so 3k just for labor to me was quite expensive. I'm not sure I would trust any of the shops out there whatsoever to install forced induction kits let alone replace more basic items like concentric slave cylinders. Bottom line, if you live in Hawaii and want to own and enjoy a heavily modded car, be prepared to do all the wrenching yourself🤙

    Living in Hi my whole life .. unfortunately not on Oahu ( where you are sure to find parts you need thru your network of friends) so just modding cars costs a shit ton more due to shipping. Oahu got the goods but the best roads ( with corners) are on the other islands. Def good to see my gen of peeps still going strong tho.

    • @kenS87

      Drift Session was first US drift event before anything on the mainland. Sadly the track closed and many drivers lost opportunities to progress in the new motorsport.

Just like the RX7 FC compared to the FD! More square bodied flip up lights just a unique look!!! But the Blue Civic and the Black 180SX were both Beautiful Cars and I love those too!!!
