1992 Autozam AZ-1 My Super Tiny Sports Car! Part 7 

Can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that he hasn't turned his channel into a video factory like most mainstream youtubers. Keep it up dude we freaking love the content, I've been watching you for sheesh I think 4 years now.

Tom, you really have to give Mitch a raise; that guy works his but off maintaining your fleet, maybe look into a space heater for the shop too, that poor guy works in some rough conditions.

The Fuel Injector goes: *TICATICATICATICATICATICATICATICATICATICATICA* 😂

Little bitty injectors clicking away. 😁

I think the fuel injection is louder than the exhaust hehe Very rewarding to do this yourself... Another Job Well Done👍👍👍👍

I saw one of these at Cars & Coffee about 2 weeks ago. Thanks to you I knew what it was so I could appreciate it =)

Great video! 33 degrees! A decent oil filled heater (safest IMHO ) set up in the corner with that fan blowing it around.... 10-degree difference in an hour or so. Cheap warmth. Ask me how I know.

Wow I think it's the first time I see someone wear ear plugs properly... I like those vids, I have to do T-belt clutch and all that other maintenance on my Cappuccino in the next couple of months. Great reference for me.

I thought to myself, 'jeez, this car is quite huge inside! Look at his headroom when he's testing it out!' - only to figure out you haven't reinstalled the driver seat yet lol

You have made the Exciting Micro Coupe even more exciting-er!

Might I recommend perhaps... an insulated garage door? lol. I just got my hands on a couple of EdenPure 120V IR heaters. These things are no joke. One of the little miniature units I got can easily heat 750 square feet. I plugged them in in my house and my power bill dropped $110/mo through this winter. They're fairly quiet, but boy do they work. There's also one model called the "Comfort Deluxe 1500", and it will efficiently heat 1000 square feet.

what a beaut, glad to see it back out on the road!

Hats off to Tom. Its a colossal effort to work on the cars, film and edit, and all with his own style, flare, and class. Its incredible what one man can do. Thank you Tom.

Man I'm very glad there is people like you out there giving love and care to these automotive history gems! It looks better than my 2012 car. I just believe that cars belong on the road rather than on museums.

I actually saw an AZ1 this morning, it drove right past me on my way to work!!

This is just makes me smile, in a very strange neutral way. Your enthusiasm, and this little joymachine is great!

This thing is so cool!!

i absolutely love these episodes!

I don't know why I watch a bunch of car related videos for years but never found your awesome channel until now!

This is the sweetest AZ-1 I have seen to date. Kei sports cars are humorously tiny for Americans, and make more sense when you are on the streets in Japan, but it is cool to see people get their hands on the "exotic" stuff. I don't think I could ever own one, but I think it would be super sweet to drive, and play around with.

I almost had a mini heart attack at the end when you backed it out with the doors up!! Great video as usual Tom!!

Heck yeah that exhaust sounds great! Awesome job Tom. That beat you chose for the exhaust installation is siiiick

Loved the video! Excited to see that teeny car back in action! I appreciate that you make these awesome videos, and keep your style

You’re an inspiration my friend, keep up the awesome work!

Thank you Tom, this was a superb birthday gift.

one of my favorite cars ever! keep it up

Great! Tom's Turbo Garage, perfect with my tea break in my workshop. ;)

What a beaut car! Thanks Tom.

Can't wait to see the drive, and the coilover install.

Another great film Tom, the Pocket Rocket sounds awesome!

Idle Air Control rattle, very common in Suzuki cappuccino same engine

sweet baby jesus. I thought this was never going to be done. But it is! Great job and I can't wait to see more updates on this AZ-1.

Great to see her about to be back on the road, looks like a fun car to drive.

I've been binging on several other youtubers who work on cars lately; Gingium, AdamLZ, and Rob Dahm to name a few. Those channels are all awesome and I eagerly wait for their videos to be released, but it is so satisfying to watch your video and see a spotless garage, well organized tool preparation, pride in your work, and attention to every small detail. Keep it up!

Cool car. Very interesting project, enjoyed watching the videos!

It's so much fun to watch your videos. Nice that you're back with new material. I wish that we do not separate so much water. Then you could meet at Cars and coffee. Thanks for sharing.

Wanting to become a car enthusiast, i'm glad i found your channel 😊

This was a perfect lunch break watch!! Great video!!

Man, your playlist on this car makes me want to get one so bad! It sounds great, and hopefully drives great.

All the way from denmark i appreciate your videos... Allways seeing forward to Them 😊

Nice one Tom. Thanks.

I love this little car, keep em coming!

Well done, Tom! I got a chuckle out of the last scene of the video when the AZ-1 pulled out of the garage, revealing its tires stacked up next to all of the other, more normal sized, car tires. Man, those things are small!

Yay! I just did this job, so this was a trip down memory lane . I really like these cars.

such a neat little car... I really enjoy your eclectic taste in automobiles... your videos are fantastic and really fun way to burn alittle time for a car nut. thanks for sharing and doing such a class job..

Great work on this and all of the other videos Tom. You are a great guy!

Glad to see a notification pop up from the Turbo Garage, these videos are always a treat. I'll be interested to hear the new exhaust under load, the engine note with stock exhaust was not too melodious.

You’re a legend Tom. 😀👍

Your license plate still makes me smile every time I see it. I lived in Kasukabe for five years. It's a charming town. :)

I love that you always think "performance" improvement in any vehicle you own. Awesome work amigo, dope little car 👍🏼

I had a 88 MR2 and loved it. Wish i never got rid of it. But this car is AWESOMENESS!!! Great representation!! And i like how you keep all original as possible too.

awesome video. thanks for taking the time to film and edit this.

There is nothing more satisfying than the click of Tom's torque wrench

Woohoo! Been antsy waiting for another episode 👍

Love the little “woosh” sound effects, keep it fun dude!!

Sounds lovely with that new exhaust!

90 degree magnetic laser pointer fixed to any of the supports of the engine bay flashing down to the engine on the cart, multiple reads from multiple points = precision. For future reference.

Thanks for the Video, these are great :-)

Great work, I love your AZ[ED] 1 & the steering wheel is correctly positioned too.

That coffee break had me. :D

Nice!! Great sound!!

you should do some "Lets get to work!" Merchanize. teespring or such. I would buy a hat or a t shirt for sure.

great work dude! also, you in the car with the doors up, looks like the 80's cartoon M.A.S.K.

I probably couldn't fit in the thing but its a cool little car with the gull-wing doors. Another nice assembly video.

The PPE montage gave me a fizzy feeling in my tummy.

Awesome video! Love that car

Love it! Nice work.

Cant wait for the next episode

Love the old Kasukabe Kei car plates, Just up the road from my old house.

Looks like you need to make a customised seat like the formua 1 drivers do! What a great video as per usual, glad to see you practicing what you preach with labelling everything :D

You're the best Tom!

Ok..little tips on installing coilover... 1-get the spring pre-load adjustment collar to zero mm height (means the collar just touching the spring fully seated) 2-adjust ride height using the coilover body adjustment... 3-if it came with pillowball top mount at front, try rotating the top mount with correct holes to gain higher caster (if possible) will greatly improves handling and steering feedback

I appreciate that Japan would have had some pretty crazy AZ-1 builds in its time, but I must admit I am really enjoying yours. The zorst sounds great. Looking forward to some drive by shots to hear it in action. Hope there isn't too much cabin drone for you though. Keep up the great work and loving the channel as always!

Over the years...I’ve tore apart my share of my personal GM, Toyota and Datsun’s. I’ve found the overall quality of fasteners (bolts) out of my Japanese cars was much higher than my GM cars. The Japanese bolts have a yellowish coating that seem to resist corrosion better. Since we here in Michigan receive copious amounts of road salt...corrosion resistance of any sort is a quite welcomed quality we can never get enough of.

Yaaaay I'm smilin', sweet little thing she is!

Tom you leveled up your music game haha. Should have slapped those coilovers on, nexens and that light car wouldn't have minded. Love your videos as always. Hope to see you at MATG this year.

I've watched all your LS miata videos. Very very awesome video btw!

Whoooo new video from Tom lets go!

That sound design at 6:05 - niiiice.

The car that got me to subscribe is alive again!

Warm weather driving in the future again I hope to see

Thanks Tom 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ages ago i watched episode 1,2 and 3 and i didnt realise there was all these other episodes now im happy

Tom the only restrictions you only have is the cateletic converter if you replace to a much free flowing cateletic converter it will improve your az1's power

yaeas...the car is back and running, binging the series to learn more about the car #hooviecity

I love the exhaust sound! It's similar to the one on my car (minus the rumble from unequal length headers). That deep drone without excessive raspiness or popping gives it a refined authority that seems to say, "I'm letting you know I'm here, but I'm not trying to show off." Of course the drone can be a bit monotonous on long highway trips, but the majority of the time it puts an evil grin on your face. It's hard to resist the temptation to drive around with the windows down all year long, including in the dead of winter.

Good work Tom!

That lifter tick sounds just like our beloved DSM's. Wonder if mitsu made those lifters LoL. Good work.

Great video, keep it up :-)

New video from Tom Turbo garage happy birthday to me!!!

Oh man, that Fujitsubo muffler looks BEAUTIFUL. I have a Fujitsubo rear muffler on my JDM twin turbo Subaru Legacy wagon, too; I got it basically brand new from UpGarage a couple years ago. It is SUCH a nice, high quality piece that looks and sounds great. The car has been through a lot of hard driving and abuse (no more winter driving for it though), and that muffler is still looking fresh as ever. Best part is, it was dirt cheap...before shipping, lol. I bought and installed an HKS mid-pipe to go with it, and will eventually do headers and downpipes to hopefully make it sound and perform even better! There's a short little video of it on my channel.

Geez dude, get a space heater or something. No need to suffer lol.

It's a wonderful job! :)

:) yea! she's back together once more! that thing is still wonderful to look at! between this and the Nissan Figaro i dunno which one i like more!

Great job, as cars and under the hood space gets tighter would be nice if new car designers would engineer an easy to remove and repair the engine.

I just might have to make my own Tom's Turbo Garage shirt to wear myself. Nice faded look, add in a Thunderbolt, and a "Let's get to work". Keep up the great work!

Finally saw an az1 in person here in Okinawa and man they are even smaller looking than I thought Haha but they look like so much fun.

At 2:35 in, You started talking soft and it made me think you were doing a Bob Ross impression for a second. :) Another Great video.

haha tom this thing sounds like my vacuum, we will have to hear it at 11k rpms ;)

Geez...I love that little thing...I'd love to find one to take for a cruise, looks like it's handle like a slot car being so small and light weight.
