Hey, and welcome back to the right hand drive guys podcast the podcast for guys who like right hand drivesWhere your host Bobby and Aaron? Yeah, you know and this is episode 83 and we appreciate you coming along for the ride
So today we're gonna kind of rip through10 5 each ofPretty much like JDM badass dudes that we would just love to get like a couch session with and just like shoot the shitYeah, or like a ride along. Yeah, yeah, they have to try pretty much anything dude pretty much anything that they do we would shine
They're freaking shoes at thisKidding but no, not reallyBut yeah, so we just figured like hey, let's like talk about these dudes, but first we wanted toYou know introduce a little segment called what's up with us?
What's up with us? What's up with us kind of?
You know, we we get so into doing the episodes we forget to talk about what we're actually doingBehind the scenes whether it be with our cars or to further the brand in somewhere anotherAnd so I know you got the biggest I know you've accomplished the most like I you know, I may feel like I'm accomplishing something butI don't know if you can see the car behind this but it's back thereI think it might be able to see just the little corner bit of it, but yeah, I finally finished up the rap
Hell yeah, so how long did it take you?
So July 4th is you know right around the corner. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, and I've been working on this as Easter
No, but I mean if anybody out there's ever wrapped a car like you know or no actually if you haven't wrapped a carYeah, by yourself for the first time you're like dude. What do you mean it took you 18 months?
Dude well, I mean I was optimistic starting out. I was like yeah, you know, I got plenty of material
I can you know mess it up all I want andDude the material that got was just completely wrong. What's this material material?
The the particular brand that I got is called vivid and it just is not a goodGood, so I guess you could say it's not it. It's very hard to work with and me, you know first time car rapper over here
Yeah, yeah, itIt was very very challenging and stuff took way longer than it should have and it wasYeah, kind of a pain, but we're we're done with it now and we're moving on from it and so yeah like what I was gonna say is thatYou know a guy like me who hasn't done it maybe seen it on wherever you knowIt's like dude really like it but like then once I started watching you doing it and just seeing
You working with that material and yeah, I mean if you've looked around our garageWe have plenty of vinyl everywhere, but it's not wrapping a car. It's it's flat surfaces, you know
90 degree corners usually not like it's not like that soBut you did smart enough at the end here. Yeah, I did so I reached out to so a few people and basically got their opinion which I should have done in the first place and
got someother vinyl that was way easier to work with andEnded up ended up wrapping the hood and the roof drunk and wings a different color to do like a two-tone type thingYeah, it's so if you're wrapping a car for the first timeDefinitely spend the money on good material if you're saving on laborYou know from not taking it somewhere to have it done then spend aSpend a little bit extra on a good good vinyl that's ways it'll work with and
You know it won't take you from Easter toYeah, well, I hate to get it done and soYeah, I mean it's one of those things because if you did take it to a professionalHe's not using vivid right now, so you are probably for this material anyways, right?
So if you're doing it yourself, okay, like you're cheaping out on the labor, right? You're doing it yourself
Right dude more power to you. You're probably learning something
But you can't go with cheaper materials that way you're sayingYou're definitely shooting yourself in the foot. Yeah, so just right spend spend the money because if you took it somewhere
They're using that I once cry once they say by ones cry once by twice. You're a dink
So what's up with me? I have just sold the
S14 this sovia is gonebut you knowSomeone that I look up to told me don't marry the car man don't marry the car andFor a minute there we started getting engaged like I started getting engaged to the car and I got super cold feet and listed itYeah, I was like holy shit like I'm getting I'm starting to like this thing and and that's not really one of the carsThat was in my like end game, you know, I mean I would but I have other things to accomplish first so I
Freed up the space and so boom that went down to PennsylvaniaPennsylvania did they drive it back or what?
No, they had sometype of manand get it yeah, and like it was those are always fun like those areThe guy either knows what he's doing or he absolutely has no clueThere's no in between with those guys I feel and you know, that was very like closeThe the shifting was very close like short. Yeah, and then the clutch pedal was extremely stiff because of that clutch
That was it. Yeah, and so yeah and and the seat didn't
Yes, so he was like oh my goshHe was bucking and juking and all kinds of stuff dude, but he got it out of thereAnd yeah, I mean otherwise we've just been prepping forImport alliance that is our bigEvent this year at Nashville Super Speedway July 19th and 20th if you're gonna be in the area definitely stop inDon and those boys put on an awesome show. Yeah, they do and it's a night me
Under the lights at the speedway which cuts down on the heat yeah, and I think just gives it a whole different vibeYeah, for sure. Can't wait. I could be drifting for the first time and
Yeah, and this guy right this guy registered for drifting andSo yeah, I'm like, you know, I'm like he tell me that and I'm like onlineI'm like looking at winches and things we can put on the trailer to get this car backBack up here, you know, I'm like so how are we gonna do this once this month? Yeah
But yeah, no, I'm sure that'll be a blast and you can look next weekWe will be live from my a so we will recordYou know live and then publish so that within minutes, you know, you're kind of hearing our takeOn the 2024 summer me. Yeah
So okay cool that that concludes what's going on with usSo I'll let you lead off you tell me tell me who's the first first JapaneseYou know, I don't know what to call him Japanese. What hero hero? Yeah, I guess is it would use the first
Japanese hero that you would take some culture whatever time withIndomura the monkey the monkey magicRight monkey magic. Yes, he is you have a hard time. Yeah looking all those names like back
And you know any time during those early as drift daysYou have a hard time looking at anything and not seeing him doing something foolish. Yeah, I know it's so awesome dude and like just
Any old option video you can find on YouTubeThere's probably gonna be a little segment of him and they're goofing off. Yeah more times than not
Dude, those are the best and like that guy as much as he's aged like he looks the same. He still acts the same like
We've seen him we saw him in Tokyo. I lost a lot. Yeah, so we did get to meet him, but not like you know
I mean we're there and he's giving us his attentionHowever, he is like kind of like speaking in Japanese and everything and we're like we're just like smiling real big likeYeah, he's like tearing apart the booth to give us stuff autographed. It was really cool. Yes, dude. It was sick. Yeah took one of the flags right off
But so what would you what would you want to do with him like what's it do dude?
anythingAnythingDrive around in a cool car dudeYou know see the whole Uris you're is set up. I guess you could say yeah, that would be dope
It's in his car collection and see his son's car in there and right for sure, but yeah, just seeing all ofEverything he has going on always a big fan of his styleYeah, he'sdefinitely likeVery animated like he's very like when we saw him like he's just like I don't know and it's weird, but likeHe has just this thing about him. Yeah, that you're just like
So cool dude on his Instagram. He he post all the time, you know, but like
It's rarelyLike car stuff. It's like him going and having drinks and having food, but then like you know a little bit of drifting here a car here
Yeah, yeah, but then like just a lot of lifestyle stuff and it's fun to see it. Yeah
Whatever that what he does dude. It's so funny. He's just like
Good ball, but seems like it'd be a good time to hang around. Yeah, I mean I can only imagine it he would I mean, but
I don't know how old he is. Yeah, 50 I
Would I don't know he's he's 50 something. I tried to look it up on Google, but it's blocked me
He's like it's a mystery, you know, he looks good, but all those dudes do so like I because if you look at his sonRight like if his son's even 30 right he's 50. I don't think his son's 30. You don't think so? No
So you think no because he's a lot older than us dude. Yeah, I'm 38 and I was watching him in 2004 on
D1 GP or whatever and he was he was young, but he wasn'tLike 18. Yeah, I know I would think he's in his 50s early like 52 51. Yeah, but it's yeah
soAll right, cool the monkey magic man. Yeah
What's up with yours who you hanging out with who am I gonna hang out with well, you know, okay, so I'll start offwe've talked about him andheDude, yeah, I want to start off with him because he is justGot so much swag dude his vibe is just likeHard on dude. He is like the man like like
Diagocytote dude likeOut of the guys on my list, you know like there's another one that's close, but like this dude just has so much likevibe about him and like of course we've been to fat five landSo we know what he's into and it's all awesome. Yeah, you know like it's all the coolest shit
It really is, you know like it's like yeah, he like definitely made it, you know, and you can tell and soYeah, if I could I would love toWhat I would love to do is go to fat five land have a meal with him alone inside of the like cafe that he builtYeah, you know the Americana cafe and then I wouldhopefully ifHe wantedIf Mr. Cytote would be cool enough to take me
Drifting at fat five land. Yeah in something high horse power. Yeah, that that would be sick because
You would get a personal side of him at the meal and then you would get the animal out of himYou know out on the tar and that that would be sick. Yeah, I mean
So yes with him that's what I would want to do because heHe is an amazing drifter, but again like his whole just like attitude and like the smoothness about him is just likeAll right, this dude is right. It's it's weird like he has he has a style like and he has a very like particular style
And like look to everything and it's like and whenever you visit his shop and you see all the cars and then you visitFive five that five land and you see all the cars you're like, okay this guyHe has this guy has this okay. That's that's what he's into obvious. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and he does it like he does it very well
It's very cool. It's very cool. So okay, I'd save to say you'd probably come along for that one
Yeah, I'd hope so dude. Yeah, just hit me up
Yeah, he'll be around you who's nextnext up for me isNari Yaro andthis guy heI don't know he's lived in Japan for a whileHe's Australian, but like I said he's beenHe's been in Japan and in the drift scene thereSince like the blogging days. I guess you know like the
Probably 2008 2009 was when I started like seeing that name pop up and like he would always post all the grass roots likeType drifting events in Japan. So you would get to see all these
Cool looking cars that weren't like the pro level, butstill very coolVery cool to see that style and you know you didn't get to see that a lot unlessYou went over there and you knew people or you knew of his blogThere wasn't a lot of that back then and he was one of the only sources of itSo yeah, and he's still over there doing it and he's since moved from blogs to vlogsYeah, you know he stayed up natural transition. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so he's doing YouTube now and he has a YouTube channel that's very
Very very cool and I I enjoy watching all of this stuffYeah, and he does a good job at like explaining events and you knowexplaining his builds and explaining what's going on andHe can speak Japanese and English very well. So it's like yeah, that's legit that helps yeah, he can kind of
Translate back and forth like what's going on? I guess you could say mm-hmm. He's also a commentator for like the
The D1 live stream. Oh, he's like the English
He's the other commentator for that. So that'd be a cool job. Yeah, he I mean dude. He seems like he lives a very cool life
You know just beingBeing over there and doing doing all the stuff that he gets to do with all the car scene stuff that you would ever want to doRight, it seems like we're like yeah, come on check this out. Yeah, he's just this big giant Australian dude
That's cool. Yeah, I mean when you think about it. I'll show you is a lot closer to here than America
Where I'm sorry? I'm talking like we're in Japan because like that's where my mind is
Yeah, you know, I mean I'm still I've been in Japan for a while now Australia is close to Japan. Yes, then America
Yeah, so like those dudes kind of had more of an opportunity. That's why you'll see him up there right like yeah and the cars could come in there
Earlier so that whole love and drive for it was kind ofBefore us, you know and into an extentAll right, soSo what would you do with him dude?
Go driftingYeah, absolutely. Why not what else would you do what else would you want to do yeah, right?
Go drifting boom. Oh, yeah
All right, so my next person isYou know somebody you know most of you have heard of it's Manabu AritoAKA Max the man Max Arito. Yeah, and so you know he was he was also on
You know a lot of these early Japanese video like best mode. Yes, best motor. Yeah, he he was like one of you know the special host type things right and then he
After his drifting career, you'd also see him, you know on theDoing the commentary for the drifting as well. So you know, you've probably seen this face. I mean
The dude definitely has done some racing. He has done like a lot of racing from he's done a lot
Yeah, but from Lamon's he's done super tycoon D1 GP. He's one of those dudes that just
Yeah, he's just give him anything. He'll drive it
Yeah, and it seems like he really has in the sense of justYou know his because a lot of these guys you know drifters. They love drifting. They drift yeah like but when you start getting into like
Lamon's yeah, and and finishing 12th not yeah, no, it's not first but like you're taking you're finishingYes, and you're taking this guy putting it in this car and he's finishing and he's not even really that type of driverYou know, soBut one thing I really admire about him, you know, he's well, what's really cool is he's kind of kept up withEverything right like he didn't reallyFall off so to speak he really kept it going and so even now, you know his brand um
Like orito. I think it's like
Yeah, 959 you know he is continuing to do these things, you know, he's likeKeeping up with it. Yeah, you know, whereas like a lot of these older guys, you know like it kind of falls off a little right
you know evenYou know, let's just say monkey magic, right? Like he's you know still doing his thing he's Sun's doing's thing
But there's a clear difference betweenLike the year-est presentation and like the way that orito does things like he's still kind of in it in that senseI don't know if I'm explaining it correctly, but likeYou know, let's just say the year-est stuff is still kind of likemid-2000s styled like all their branding and everything and like the way they operate whereas likeOrito and like his whole brand like the orito styleYeah, even the red ox, you know, yeah parts those
It the style is like 2024, right? So you know, um, I think it's cool that he's kept in it and then
Why I what I would do with him is I would actually just kick it with him and his daughterBecause that's something I can relate to having two daughters. He
Was really able to integrate his daughter Maya into what he's doing and she reps it all day every dayYou know, that's their brand. I think you know and
So you know when he first started racing he didn't have a child and he had a child and then he kept that child involved and nowThe child's racing, you know, and she she racesYou know, I don't know what but she's definitely doing it. Yeah, and so yeah, I would kick it with him and his daughter for sure
NiceCool next up for me dudeumThis guy is kind of long the same lines as uhOrito here as far as you put him in anything and don't drive it no matter what the discipline isUh, it's no Berturu Tana GucciNo, Berturu Tana Gucci. Yeah, no beat no one better
Whoa, yeah, dude, that's hard. He is yeah, dude
Not only is it the first three letters of his name. It means no one better. He's the man. Yeah
This dude, I meanlately you'd probably know him from like uhHe'sHe's sponsored by hks pretty sure he is uh his supra his a80 over a 90 whatever the newest one at a 90 is in uh the Fuji speedway hotelYeah, that the the whole hks one. Yeah, that's sick
But yeah, dude, I mean he's raced in super cheaty, you know, he had 18 wins and d1 gpHe had a championship with five wins. He raced in super tycoon with eight championships like dude's a beast
Yeah, that's legit. He's definitely made his rounds to say the least yeah and
You know like like I said drifting grip racingLike he does it all and he also was on umWhat was it the like all the option videos the best motorings he was also you know one of the co-hosts for all that as wellSo it's like a lot of these dudes kind ofShare a similar background as far as you know being on these tv shows andYou know being able to be at the top of their game and all of these disciplines. Yeah, that's through you know decades
Yeah, I mean likeYeah, that that really shows their true skill and their willingness to learnBecause you know like you said when you start in one area or discipline and you're able to kind of migrate through multiplesLike I mean that's pretty big deal right because a lot of times you knowOver here, right like yes people crossoverBut like a lot of times they stick to one, you know what I mean if they're drifter they're drifting right if they're a NASCAR driver
They're they're driving in circles, right? You know whatever it may be right. They're not necessarily crossing over so much
So right that's coolYeah, I mean yeah, he's the man uh and due to as far as like what do it what to do with himLet's go to any track, dude. Let's go to scuba and
Rip rip some grip driving do some time attack. I hope you do some drifting like hands probably
He's like do why are you pissing on the floor?
Dude you made me do itThat would be a blast though. Yeah, 100%
So okay who you got next?
my next one isNakayama from mines. He is the
official engine builder of mines. Oh wow. Yes, big responsibility on that guy. Yeah, and so supposedly
I can neither confirm nor deny this but supposedly he has built the most RBS in the worldSupposedly he has it's well over 2000 RBSHoly cow2000 and his hands are still clean. His hands are still clean. Yeah, so
Wow, I wonder I mean I was just trying to figure out the number likeObviously, there's more than 2000 RBS that Nissan pumped out in the 90s, but those obviously weren't hand builtThis guy hand built with his own two hands. Yes. Yeah, he yes. He hand built RBS
more than 2000And in that number the 2000 number was in 2020Oh, wow, so it's probably definitely more than I know. Yeah, he probably has 23 more blocks. Yeah, I mean
That's a lot and so I have met him uhI met him at mines andIt's kind of funny right like I mean my daughter go to mines and we're just like oh this place is sweetWell, I'm like this place is sweetYeah, and uhShe know she thought it was cool, butSo there's a guy at the counter. I don't know. He could have been the CEO for all I know. Yeah, like
but heWhat I was trying to do is because we were at R's meeting and they had these carbon fiber sunglassesBut they only had like the mirror lenses and I was not really for that like I like black lensesAnd so that's all they had so thenWe know when we meant to mines. I'm like, oh maybe they got the black ones here
They have black displays. They won't sell them to you. They won't sell them to you. They don't sell you for a Japan
Yeah, and soThis guy couldn't talk to me and not and so he goes back into the engine room and gets knocky on himHe comes out and he figures out what I'm trying to do and he sells me all the stuff and the dude isHe speaks great English and he's in you know like most of the Japanese he's insanely politeLike makes you you know feel good about what you're buying like it's cool, right? And so
I could just tell by his demeanor that he's like the type of guy thatYou could ask him questions and he would genuinely give you the answers and he would show you thingsYeah, so he would stop you know being elbow deep in an RB26 to sell you sunglasses that you know thatSo what I would do with him is I would uhI would reassemble an RB with him if I could that'd be sick. Got one right there. Can you imagine if if you got the opportunity to
I mean even stand beside him and even if he didn't let you touch nothing like yeah, you just get to see that process and howI'm short delicate and thorough. He is like with everything that he's doing right yeah
So yeah, that's a lot man. I can't imagine don't that many they you know
uh, so okay, I'm gonna throw in the last thing that I'm saving for the end here okayHe can build an RB blindfolded. I believe it. Yeah, it because think about it. You've done it over two thousand times. Yeah, like yeah like I'm trying to do the math
If you did one every day forHow many years how many that'd be roughly5000 years for me to two and two years and some change of a building an engine every single dayThat would beYeah, that's crazy. I think that's more like six years and some change in it. Oh, yeah, I guess so I was doing a thousand
Yeah, holy cow. I know dude six years. Yeah, so I would kick it with Naki Yama. We would go ahead and just
We would just get it and reassemble the blindfold. Yeah, for sure. I wouldn't care. I'd feed him fruit while he's doing that shit
All right, go aheadWow, all right cool next one up for me is uh, Niochi Nakamura professional drifter. Yeah, you're like a
Yeah, I know. Yeah, all these dudes I know they're most of my
JDM heroes areFrom the the driftingYeah, yeah, I get it. That's
This dudeI remember first seeing him way backWhenever the whole team burst thing kind of broke out whereThey had purple and pink faded cars. Well, they still kind of do but it was back when they first started doing that and
Their style was just loud and crazy and just do their driving was insaneThey're always banging doors are super close to each otherDragon wallsDragon walls. Hell yeah, first interest dude like whatever like they were very exciting to watch and
That's what always sucked me in is likeWatching them is excitingNot saying that likeThe others aren't exciting. They're just not as exciting to watch like those dudes seeing them. It's like oh wow
Like dude you know how it is you know when you're standing on the wallYeah, you just smack it in you just likeFires you right. It's it's a different thing for sure. It is
I can't say that yeah, there's a lot of other things that can like get youJust that adrenaline pumping like without being in the car. Yeah, you know, yeah for sure
So what would you do with them? Let me guess
Dude hang out no soccer dude and all the street riffs spots. Oh, yeah, yeah or
You know since a lot of people can't do that anymore due to sponsorships andLegalities and things like thatgo to Mayhahn andHit that track that would be dope because that's likeThat's like where all the infamous videos come from I feel like with team burstThat's where they really like yeah rip it upOkay, hit there at mayhahn catch me in mayhahn. Yeah with the burst boys. Yeah. Yeah
Um, so okay my next oneumIs missumi shibaMissumi shiba he is the CEO of raise engineering and raise wheels. Oh wow. Yeah, and so
The reason so he's beenThe CEO the whole time since that's what I was calling. Yeah, dude that guy has seen some stuff
Yeah, you know, and I think he's actually supposed to be coming to the end because he's real old. Yeah, I'm gonna say
So yeah, I mean basically everybody knows the te37 if you don't know the te37 hit the button and just turn this off because it's like itDon't even make sense if you don'tbut umYou know raises come out with a ton of awesome wheels they've worked with manufacturers and put outYou know wheels like the LMGT4 and you know wheels we don't even realize right yeah manufactured, you knowum andThe te37 or the LMGT4 or whatever these are like my favorite style wheels. They're a lot of people's favorite style wheels
I can't imagine how manyThousands of sets that they have delivered like I can't so you knowMissumi shiba I would sit down with him and I would really I wouldn't say nothingI would just listen to history. Yeah him. I would just listen to any stories or any
Any bit of the process that you would want to tell me yeah, I would I wouldn't ask any questionsI would just let him lead it and tell me the things that stuck out in his head about you know the 51 years of runningOne of definitelyJapan's most successful wheel companies right like what all they've had to deal with as far as like adversityYeah, it's like dealing with all the counterfeits like I wonder if that's even on their roaders like you knowYeah, yeah, you gotta be in one of the biggest knocked off companiesYeah, really oh for sure with with wheels for sure
I mean, so yeah, I mean I would sit down. I would chat with him and and just
Well listen and that's I feel like all you'd need to do and you'd come out of there with a smileI'm sure yeah, that would be sick. All right, you got one more. I got one more. All right, let's hear it
All rightMitsuru Haraguchi. Haraguchi. Yeah dude, he's uh
And then on the internet is the OG hot boy back in the day hehad a yellow fcr7fatty chrome wheels I think I remember lambed be in sports kit with like a crazy likecheckered flag livery type. Yeah stripe going on

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's what always because he had the the yellow fdSo it was like fc or then then he ended up being an fd uh that hadSimilar someone looked at yeah, the fc was the killer. Yeah those were those were like
We heard because they didn'tGarner the attention of the fd but they were still a turbo rotary. Yeah, yeah like it was still like just that like
Those like sharp edges and like it was like it was a late 80s car man like especially in the USI feel like they didn't catch on as much for sure, but yeah, this dude's cool. A shit man. I would just hang out with them
