@@fabrb26 me drifting an electric car. The Scene might be almost dead in many countrys, but thats an even better reason to make a new version. To keep the scene alive!
That signal sound triggered my muscle memory and i looked for my phone automatically, only to realize ive last heard that sound like 12 years ago. I havent even realized we stopped hearing that sound and now i need to know why.
Damn, I remember watching this back in the day. I also remember attending one of the drift days at that same location and recognising you from this exact DVD. I also, also remember one of my mates at the time that borrowed that DVD, practised said techniques down in the 'Nasho' one night and subsequently backing his R33 into a tree. It wasnt too bad and we fixed it. I think his pride took most of the impact. Good times..
That interference noise is almost nostalgic at this point. lol I could be in an online game lobby, and know when I'm getting a phone call before it actually gets to my phone. xD
I also started getting emotional during this video, all those shots of Oran Park make me miss it more than anywhere. Best motorsport facility in Australia by a long way. I remember ducking debris from cars crashing many times because you could get so close to the track. Oran Park town can EAD
One of the better explanations for how to handbrake entry that i’ve seen. Glad you are sharing this with us and breaking it down! Maybe a remake with the beans at Tsukuruma? Remind the kids that they dont need horsepower to get sliding haha
I was watching this on my phone using headphones and when I heard the cracking noise I thought I was gonna receive a call. Thanks for making me feel old 😂
Hey Alexi, I'm really enjoying this retrospective type content. Love seeing the extended Noriyaro lore. As someone on the cusp of being financially capable of getting into drifting it's stuff like this that keeps me motivated to do so despite the whole financial aspect, especially given the state of the US used car market (oof) ((and epic upcoming recession)). How dare you inspire me to get into such a money pit. The fun better be worth it. Much love, can't wait to see where your videos go
I actually thought I was getting a text as that noise happened ... hahaha. is it just me, or does this still happen in certain instances? I swear it still happens to me with certain electronics / speaker combos. edit: any time i need to laugh, I watch those "leaving a car show" videos. amazing stuff.
Alexi you're an OG in so many ways. Just by watching this old tutorial we can appreciate the spirit of the original Noriyaro... it's just more polished and experienced these days. Loved this format of reviewing a video of yourself 😆 I think you did pretty well back then! I believe you were chosen to be an ambassador of drift and JDM car culture, nobody has your unique style. And yes, we need an modern version of this!
i was almost exactly half old than now :D (in 2005) These retro-style vids are very good. Feel nostalgic and feel a bit sad.. these was simplier times.. and the the 'electro cricket' (mobile aply bugging) is soo 2000's :D
This is a window for Americans into Australian Youth. More specifically the Ethnic Car Cult side, full of every Commodore ever made, from rotary conversions to cheap Berlina's all while getting defected every three weeks. I miss being a teenager... and I miss my old VT Commodore. It was a piece of junk... BUT IT WAS MY PIECE OF JUNK. So many good times in that car.
This takes me back, I loved Drift battle and HPI! They were sold here in NZ and were way more JDM than other mags available here(although JDM wasn't really a thing then) I did the 180 too, r33 gtr wheels, nardi deep corn and a pair of brixs, perfection!
This is why Alexi is who he is, not an imitator & a total OG legend!!! I was right there with you, own every issue HPI & Drift Battle mag/DVD. I'd eat, sleep, & breath it! (still do😅) Listened to you religiously on this DVD, tried to set-up my own 180SX same as yours back then.
This was really cool to see thank you for sharing it with us. An updated one would also be very cool, not to mention very beneficial to someone like me who still doesn’t have a manual RWD car yet
Damn im 34 and this was a trip to the past thank you so much for uploading this old ones. Amazing how good old advice is just good advice in general . PS please make a garage update soon.
Really enjoyed this video and the recent work you're doing, hopefully once I can afford to spare some money for the patreon I'll remember to actually do it. Stay safe Alexi!
I hope this is the prologue to the new version of the video. I'm looking forward to seeing it! I believe that it will be very useful, considering all your experience that you have gained over the years! also, it is so fun to see a smile on your face as you see your old self! it brings so much joy 'cause of nostalgia I think, and for us it brings so much joy because of how cute you are haha! we need a modern version of a drifting lesson video! (especially, if it is possible, using a low-powered cars)
Hell yeah, i remember this haha, i remember taking that dvd to school and watching it on the tv trolley one rainy lunchtime 😂 there were only 3 of us out of the whole year level watching it, everyone else was talking, mostly about phones 😂
This was so rad I bought a heap of drift battle mags back in the day I remember I watch this video about 10x in my young teenage years lol really cool blast from the past the drift battle budget builds were the sickest!!
What funny timing seeing this video after I have just done a beginner session night at Archerfield drift park. I was struggling to grasp the basics and was instructed to enter with a clutch kick which although very effective didn’t seem like the correct way to learn how to initiate a drift. I hope you do a revised video and I’ll be watching the inertial/Scandinavia flick drift entry guide which just seems like both the most stylish and mechanically friendly technique on what’s already a very violent style of Motorsport ! Multiple thumbs up for this video also
Oh man, I have a very large collection of HPI magazines still. Driftbattle, auto salon magazine etc. Thanks 🙏 for this upload, really cool nostalgic vibes 🎉❤
Alexi giving good tips and amazing explanation. and me here taking notes as if it would change the fact that my car has less than 100 hp and a open diff.
Really good content, it's refreshing from the batshit crazy car stuff (don't get me wrong we still love those vids) but these sit down chill videos are really fun to watch
I been subbed since 2013/14…havnt been watching vids I got back into em when I seen you had decals on NFS in 2015/16 then fell off…your so underrated bro! Keep up the videos !!!
Oh man! the nostalgia! When I was 17 I stumbled on this video.. at the time I had a NA 180sx, two other friends had 180sx's DET and another mate with a Honda civic who was the camera car. We would constantly watch this video over and over and head out and learn off this video! every weekend we go out and find a traffic cone on the road and take it and head off to industrial areas to practice. the amount of trouble we got into though, it was so worth it. You and Jesse were absolute gods to us ahahaha. Those late night kebab runs after a street sesh, you were the only prime topic we would talk about the entire night.. unfortunately since then the boys have parted and gone their own ways but the most important thing was we were so happy. we believed damaging our cars during street practice was a rite of passage and we kept them that way, it gave our cars 'character' we're in our 30s now and every few months we would catch up and still talk about you and the times we did some really questionable things with our cars. I'm so happy you're still doin what you're doin man! hopefully you'll make another tutorial for the new gens who will share the happiness we did. Keep up the awesome work!
I was a big HPI and Drift Battle mag fan, I actually had this DVD (I might actually still have it). I had a 180 at the time and thought your 180 was so damn cool, fun times.
