Crazy how a lot of you, including myself, have been following Adam since his bmx career. I still remember watching the first videos of Adam learning how to drift and think it’s incredible how good you’ve gotten man. Never thought you’d be such a legend in the car community
100%, watching him go from BMX content to mentioning being interested in drifting was crazy. went from BMX content and working on the BMW and such to setting up the drift sim in his old house and introducing the S13. Every time i think of the S13 its around the time of it having the "just married" sticker on the rear glass.
Exactly. Also it's Adam doing the mods so it's not like it's destroying the nostalgia because it's still his car regardless so more power to him I guess
The improvements in Ecu and tcu tech since the early 2000s are night and day. Link seems to do everything he needs and then some at a much lower cost than cyvex and motec.
This car has contributed to so many financial mistakes in my life 😅 but so many memories from watching videos in the garage to buying my first s13. So much love for this car and the channel ❤
@CompressorSurge sadly not, I started saving for it when I was 11 and got it at 14, my mom hated it and said I was gunna die if I ever got hit ( I live in texas so everything on the road is a lot bigger than a little ol s13. ) so she made me sell it, but I'm going to pick up an all original 93 hatch next Monday, so I'm pretty stoked about that 😁
Ya I think he should make it as reliable and functional as possible but just keep it looking the same. Keep the same cream colour , same seats or seats that are red at least go back to the og cosmis wheels and slightly change the exhaust to not sticking out as much , or just cut circumcise the tip that’s on the car now.

Who else remembers Adam sellin merch out of his dorm room back in the day and ridin bmx around the campus? Back then I never would’ve imagined u would be where ur at now. Such a flex. Edit: Hell yea love to see the fellow OGs supportin in the comments still and talkin about old stuff. What are some of ur favorite OG webisode moments? I like the one where Adam bent a crank and the big buff dude used the fence to bend it back. Also #BringBackFroth
This cream s13 has such a special place in so many hearts. I learned about drifting through Adam and this car. The early days of the car content was so awesome. When they would take a break from the car and ride bmx in the back yard. It was awesome. I’d love to see him build another cream s13 with his today standards and be able to disregard nostalgia because this one will stay the way it is. It’d be interesting to see what would be different.
You know what’s crazy?! The timing of this video… I just bought a project drift car for my 11 yr old and I to start going to beginner days with. He wanted to start watching all your first videos (first donut, first drift event, first tandem, first crash, first time you won an event, all the way until your S15 and then this video comes out! My 10 year old thinks you’re the best thing ever, he’s gotten pictures with you and Colette at a few events (he said Colette made his knees weak lol). I’m from the area and know the compound (we looked at buying it from the old dude before you) and he says “can we stop in and say hi to him?”. He’s 11 so there’s never privacy but it’s insane this video came out today since we were literally watching the whole playlist with this car in it the last few weeks before bed. Love seeing it! PS improve everything you can with it! It doesn’t need to stay the same - let it progress with it all the way from the first donut through today.
when ever u talk about Martin with RS empathy i think of him telling u dont know how to drive your r32 after u got it tuned at his shop then he drives your car, in sandals and clutch kicks it roasting the tires with u in the passenger seat and the look u had was priceless and he was just still sitting there with no expression on his face. but then u built z-roy and that made martin the monotone emotion of a person smile with joy as flames shot out the stacks. just epic videos!
This is the car that taught me what drifting was, went from watching bmx videos then I learnt through you and this car and ever since been obsessed, the cream 240 surely has to be a lifetime car
If a car not running properly is a flex, keep the MAF. My input is, it's been on the sidelines long enough. Give the car the love it needs and deserves. It's a staple of the channel for those of us that have watched since the beginning.
it’s crazy how i started watching adam lz when he bmx and when he had his e46 and when he locked his keys in the trunk now he has every kid dream car he stuck to german car and japanese cars adam lz u carried my childhood for 11 years now
Hard to believe it's been 10's years since the webisode days. Always enjoyed watching the BMX content after class. Wild just how far you have come in just a decade. Mad props.
After all the year from watching I love how every year after year Adam always goes back to the main reliable that started the channel but we all love the small touches he does every year and always come back to every video that start with cream s13 that he always does small bits but over exaggerates to way more and can’t wait for every other year to come after, fan from Ireland 🇮🇪
dude.... I modeled my first and only S13 after your car. From the fitment industry bash bars to the Origin Stylish kit and all dude. Sadly she is totalled from theft... LOVE to see her again man. Brings back some fond memories of my own car. Keep killing it!
This car is so sentimental to me just as much as every one else. This is the car the I remember watching you slide when I was thirteen and is what sparked my love for Jdm cars. Getting to see it in Orlando like 4 years ago now was an amazing experience. Thank you for having such an impact in my automotive journey, keep up the great content
Dude I have followed you for quite awhile now. I’d love to have that alignment paper. Such a cool piece of history. So happy with the progress you’ve made.
I've been a subscriber since probably around 2015 or so. The days where he used to live in the apartments, only had the S13 and 335i. I've wanted an E92 since then, now I've graduated towards wanting an F80 but that's besides the point. Those nostalgic days were so good.
what keeps the nostalgia of the car would have to be the body, paint and interior. all the mechanical bits that are old and crusty should be updated imo. i love this car and am always stoked to see it on the channel. just do a sick resto-mod and keep the look the same and call it a day🤙100% add the Link!
i think keeping the car with as much nostalgia as possible would be the play, because in 10 more years or beyond you'll get to look back even further back to see how far things have come! came for the bikes and stayed for the cars. always good to see the cream s13 be the star of a video. #HighHopsLowCars
I love this car! It’s the reason I fell in love with your channel what feels like 10 years ago😲 any and all content with this car is awesome to me and makes me feel nostalgic even as a viewer ❤
I remember watching the first s13 videos with my bros in highschool and watching you learn to drift, 9 years later and i havnt missed a video. Time fkn flys man love your vids adam
I haven’t watched an Adam Lz video since prob pre 2020, but man I clicked on this video so fast and it’s like I never left. Same good vibes, same silly jokes, same goofy personality from Adam.
This brought back so much nostalgia, I’m so glad you’re deciding to bring back the S13 back. Please continue with phase 2 and 3 but with keeping the nostalgia alive
Man i love seeing this car, every time it comes out is an instant smile on my face. grew up watching you build this at your old house, and every time something went wrong you learned something new, This car has so much character and history. Its definitely your mono Lisa, and has to be the most iconic youtuber car ever. I Get what you mean with not knowing what to keep and change, Like i love the rasp it has (In my opinion is very iconic to this car). but link ecu would be sick, but stock ecu and maf is a flex, i think make most things modern. but keep the base character the same if that makes sense. (rough idle/start, raspy-ness) could even make it start rough with a new ecu and hollow out the maf so it looks like its still there so its still has that character trait but with much more tuning capabilities Just my two cents, love your videos have been a big fan for so long, and cant wait for part 2!!
I’ve genuinely been watching for about 8 or 9 years now, imo do as you wish with the cream S13, as long as you’re happy with the end result I’m confident enough to say we’ll all be happy with it too!
fully agree, The cream color and the engine (besides forged/upgraded parts but that thing is already loaded) is really the only thing that cant be changed to keep the nostalgia and spirit to it. Oh and don't forget the frowny face steering wheel cap :)
I miss seeing you drive this. I remember when you rebuilt it about 6 years ago and where so excited about it. I'm glad to see how excited you are about having it back.
Honestly I unsubbed awhile ago just do to differing interests, but I come back occasionally to see how you're doing. So nice to see this car again. I remember when you originally bought it, and how it really inspired me as a young (17?) teen. It's so hard to believe it's been almost 10 years now. Oh and the throwback outro was a really lovely touch. I still listen to that song frequently. Side note, that Polaroid looks like it was next to Matt Shulman's S13. Could be wrong.
I've been watching you from your college days. Pretty please keep the changes to a minimum. There's a million cars you can make "2024 Adam perfect". This car is seriously OG, and she needs to stay that way. Clean her up, fix needed flaws, but leave the imperfections. Don't cover up where you came from. It has taken a lot of work to get to where you are today, and that car, just as it is, has been with you through it all. Don't change her too much.... please.
This car is literally the inspiration for my kouki s14 that i'm forging. It's the little things like the basketball in the rear 1/4 and your first donuts with Jimmy and drifting at Hoonigan that makes this car one of if not the most special car to most long time viewers
Trevor is one of my favorites on youtube... super cool dude and that receipt fir the alignment for ur original s13 with his name on it is awesome... 2 of my favorite youtube personalities.. love this car!...
seeing this car again brought me so much joy man, i remember obsessing about it back in the day. the s13 will forever hold a special spot in my heart, mainly because this cream beauty:)
I think the nostalgia will live on just by keeping the car . In my opinion You upgrading it and just cleaning it up is providing it more longevity. I say full send it honestly
Seeing videos of your s13 way back in the day is what inspired me to get one. Unfortunately i was a broke kid from the hood who never had enough funds to get it going lol.
As someone who’s been watching since I was 13 ( I’m now 21) the cream s13 pretty much solidified my love for cars. I think you should make the s13 perfect and how you want it assuming it still stays cream.
The car will always be nostalgic no matter what you do. If it was my car though I’d freshen up the engine and the drivetrain and just keep everything like the interior ,paint and body the way it is.
Of all the cars on the channel this one's still my favourite. It inspired to buy and build my own S13 almost 8 years ago. Please do more content with the cream car!
It is absolutely crazy to me watching Adam growing up I got my first BMX bike because of him. He taught me how to bunny hop watching him ride through Walmart for the BMX challenges watching him learn how to drift and get into FD truly inspired me into cars and forever be my favorite RU-vidr
Man its been a while since ive been in this channel until i saw that car. crazy how far adam lz have become. from BMXer to professional drifter. What a legend
Adam the best 6 speed option is gonna be an N54 335i trans. The ZF GS6-53BZ. Will take 850hp and similar torque, a ton of variety and quality in clutch options, they are cheaper and lighter than T56’s, and shift so much nicer. And you are well aware you can flat foot shift it at high rpm high HP no issues
That was nearly 10 years ago you got this thing?? Holy shit, this is the car made me fall in love with cars before I had my license, I never got around to being a car guy but can appreciate the hell out of it. I remember the Aaron Ross bike check and jumping off the diving board. Inspirational to say the least
Recipe for fixing CD009 miss shifts is a longer shifter. I cut the end of a pair of S&M BMX handlebars and welded a VQ exhaust manifold nut inside and put a nice comfy grip on it. It's my favorite shift knob ever 🤣
Been a long time since I've watched Adam, I've been here since his BMX career, but it really nice seeing the Cream S13 alive again, good on adam fir keeping it around and making sure its always in working order
I suggest exterior wise, keeping it all the way it is, including interior because it's a sign it must say the way it is if the dash is not cracked, just fix the body kit a little, fix the alignment and fitting of the tyres, and keep the stock ECU but tidy up the engine bay to make it more workable and cleaner. This is a blast from the past, a car you'll look at 10 years from now and see how drifting was so different for you back in 2015. This is such a cool video, hats off to you
I honestly would love to own that paper from the rear fender. My friend and I have been watching for a couple of years, and to have a piece from the actual car would allow me to win the flex competition 😂 especially if it’s signed!
i remember when you first got the cream s13 ids honestly what brought me in as a fan and i’m so happy and proud to see how far you’ve come! i love you adam
I feel like you should compete more grassroots event like clutchkickers with the cream since the e36 was already build for the pro event & to keep the heritage of the cream s13 😁👍🏼
It’s definitely worth making the car more enjoyable and reliable other nostalgic. As long as you keep the seats and bodywork/colour etc, the nostalgia is still there. Like a standalone, new exhaust and reliable/tasteful upgrades is much better, makes you enjoy the car and doesn’t take away from the aura of the car, just evolves it
I think the S13 needs a Full make over - You guys have came along way and know so much more about cars to make this into a car you want to drive. Keep the old little sentimental parts of the car but the rest do a full restore on.
this is my favorite car on the channel. i love how it looks so used and im sure the way it drives with the drift stand nice is amazing. Reactions of it street driving would be dope imo ‼️
This car is awesome!! Would be so cool to see you and the guys do another s13 with everything you have learnt over the years so you have the old and new version of the ‘same’ car. That would be sick 🙌🏼! Keep up the amazing work guys
literally remember watching this car with roof racks and bmx bikes on it back when i was a kid and wanting an sr20. now i’m still watching this car wanting a sr20 😂. Missed this car man, bring it back.
its crazy to see that you cant remember what you did to your trans tunnel. for me, its as clear as day and as far as i remember you did use a grinder and folded that thing so that you can accomodate the throw for your shifter (not sure if it was a stock one though). nice to see that this car is getting some love. lotta nostalgia came outta that exhaust note.
