The weird part about this channel is that I enjoyed the TommyKaira videos more than your highest viewed videos. It would be cool to see a well researched video into other tuning shops but I feel like the algorithm wants the video to have a broader title based on the views of the TommyKaira videos. If anything is to change regarding your content I hope its the titles and not the information or the way you present it. You seem extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the stuff you're teaching in each video. I can tell it takes a lot of time and effort for one of these videos. You've got me hooked, thank you for this channel.
Funny thing is in the US, the Bose sound wave/ super woofer was a common option in the Touring FD RX-7's (Type X in Japan) and most people delete them as they're quite heavy. I currently have 2 in my parts pile while I rebuild me car lol.
My R32 has the “Cool Box” which is an insulated box that’s bolted in the glovebox that also routes air from the AC system to keep drinks and whatever else cold. One of my favorite obscure factory options and I love that mine has it. I do wish I could find a set of the light up quarter glass louvers for the R32. They scream peak 90s design.
The super woofer is so common in the BC sold Canadian spec RX7s I have seen at least 3 sets still in there and functional. Out of like 20 ish cars in the west coast rotary club.
@@clix7925 they were a good compromise when you have no trunk space. But the low MHz response is meh at best. The drivers in these are not going to make heart thumping bass no matter what.
@clix7925 there's a reason why car audio enthusiasts say "no highs no lows must be Bose". No matter how big they tried to make those little speakers sound they don't replace an actual subwoofer.
Those civic bumper corners are quite popular in the UK. In fact there are so many they must have been standard on certain models. Often fitted a bit wonky. I’ve had a pulsar GTiR with optional rear brace/rollover bar, and a JDM DC2 integra R with the optional rear brace.
I hope they are not wonky from being used! That’s so funny 🤣 And amazing! I’m such a fun of the GTiR… and the DC2 Integra is my favourite Integra, nice cars. Thanks for watching 👌
@ I think they are wonky because they were probably dealer fitted options rather than factory fitted. So depending on the quality of apprentice that fitted them the wonkier or straighter they are. I think they just have a sticky back and glue on. Thanks for the original content. Best optional extra I’ve found on a JDM import was a LSD on a Del Sol SiR.
While the JDM cars on the automotive side of the internet take all the place, no one seem to really know or care about the rest of the car which I think is sad because it makes the cars more fascinating which is why we need more of this kind of video.
Loving these vids so much, the production quality is so good. The Honda crx catalogue is well worth checking out for optional extras. Another cool one is the hilux surf, automatic rear spoiler mirror for visibility when reversing. I think the s13 also came with a ‘super woofer’ option and the Honda bumper protectors could also be optioned on Toyotas such as the soarer and supra
Here in Europe (Spain at least) the civic bumper protector were standard in almost all civic hatch pre face lift, they are even bigger than the one you showed, horrible decision, my ej9 has them, I'm already looking for an aftermarket option without them xDD great video, nice to see this kind of content
13:44 Nice! and Italvolanti! Never knew TK used them, they used that model for the Nismo Skylines and other Skylines like the R31. I believe the tri-colour triangle would be TK's old logo, though not sure entirely. Do a video on Italvolanti please! Or at least try, there's scant information out there.
Hii! My older brother have most of these part.his side job were always hoarding rare jdm parts.he is some kind of low profile collector.saw your channel and i'd love to share some pictures but he won't let me snap some pictures.he wanna kept it secret for now..i will try to convince him and keep updated!! Love your content bro.
Mazdaspeeds touring Spec-A stuff is so awesome! ive only managed to find the front bumper, steering wheel and gear knob so far for my MX-3. but, if all goes well, i should be able to get my hands on a set of skirts around january would be awesome to see if you could maybe find some obscure MX-3 optional parts, might be cool to see in a next video
That sounds amazing. Keep working on it! Mazda speed has some epic parts across the board. I’d love to add some more content in there, thanks for watching bro!
My 1982 Celica Supra has the Foot Lamp on the driver side, it is green too, though it is just one small bulb. It was just called a courtesy light back then though, fades off a few seconds after closing the door.
The front hook on the ZZ looks to be on backwards as like a storage position? The hood opens up forward like a Corvette and looks to have the picture being taken from the driver's door looking in
Subscribed. Love this content my man, thank you for putting in the research, easy to follow and very well documented! Bonus points for showing a place to find said parts today. I never knew about the FC Louvers and those are pretty cool! I'd rock 'em, maybe paint them body color 🤔
Great work dude, loved the videos recently, some of the graphics can be a little goofy at times, and a lot of the fades/slide cuts are nice but not necessarily needed, that being said, you have an informative SOP and you know how to end the video. Keep up the great work !
Back in the 80s / 90s, Mazda’s engineering team was so creative and smart to invent lots of good and high end stuff, especially looking at today’s second used condition values.
Loving this series! One very JDM option I had on a SA60 Celica 1982 was a little scent diffuser that sat on the parcel tray. I wish I looked into it a little more at that time but I believe it used scented cartridges. I forget the name of it but have seen it on a couple of other toyota's from the era. Please look into the HB cosmo, they had some really cool features!
Oooh great video, this was super cool to see all these rare parts! thanks for sharing. I had an R32 Gts-t with factory gold badges, someone at the time told me it meant it was an m-spec. I never saw any evidence of that myself though, have you heard of this?
#10, the Bose system was also in the Eunos 800M (miller cycle supercharged). The large plastic front speaker pods house amplifiers that have an equaliser applied to make them sound damn good for the time. #9, the Nissan GTi-R also had an option for a factory installed umbrella ☔, and where its stored is pretty crazy!
Where do you find the part catalogs at? I recently purchased a low miles 1996 1jzgte non-vvti JZZ30 Soarer and was wondering what options it could have came with. Mine has the digital dash, I think the OEM green interior lighting, no trunk wing, and is a slick top. Thanks and I love your channel!
I’ve been collecting them for years digitally and physically, I thought I was the only one that found this stuff interesting haha I have a mate with the exact same car I’ll have to ask him 😁 he’s just manual swapped and is loving it! I know the SARD soarer 3000gt is a monster worth searching, he showed me the brochure the other day.
70's Mazda RX's deserve a full length video, I'm not sure where I've heard it but all Mazda sports models designs where outsourced by an Italian Automobile design house and Marcello Gandini co-designed them, until the RX-7 which was Mazda in house design. Beautiful cars and would love to see a video covering them (Cosmo, R100, RX2, RX3, RX4, and RX5).
I have an 02 Suzuki Vitara 3 door and its been so much fun hunting down worldwide Suzuki optional parts and finding the catalogs from that era, also there are Suzuki Sport goodies for that era Vitara just extremely hard to come by.
If I remember correctly there was an option for rollcages from Mugen for the EF and the EG civic hatches. Just not sure if they were an accessory you bought or can be factory fitted. I know because my dad had an EG hatch for about a decade, he also had an OEM EG specific rear strut bar.
I think the superwoofer was apart of the Touring package here in the U.S. My ‘93 has it as well as the Tonneau Cover and its a really interesting design. I dont think it works anymore though and as far as Im aware there is only one person in the U.S. that rebuilds them
Sound guy here, that Bose FDRx7 system might actually be pretty solid since giant Tube Organ builders use similar tactics to reach massive lengths of Tubing by bending the tubes and "compressing" them around the building/church they are built in.
When we were first looking at buying an fd we found one with the Bose system! It was very interesting and cool, I believe I still have photos. However we never noticed a audio difference between that and our one that we have now.
Wow someone else commented that they had it too and that they noticed very little difference to the sound. It’s such a huge amount of effort that Mazda, Efini and Bose put in to the project. Thanks for the info 👌
I have the strutbar for the ek. It looks gorgeous with Civic type R lettering and crome look. Only thing bothering me is that you have to cut into the plastic trim to get it to fit. Makes me wonder if the plastic had holes from factory when you chose this back in the day
Regarding the Type R strut bars, my buddy had a mint VK(the lightened gas efficiency trim with the B15) that I was going to buy a few years ago before his "vehicles are just another appliance" type dad he was living with traded it in for a Camry on whim one afternoon without informing anyone that he planned to do so even though he knew I was looking to buy for like twice what the dealership gave him.... Anyways, before it got traded in my buddy had loaned it to me for a week for a long term test drive and I discovered it had both front and rear "Type R" strut bars, I and my buddy figured the previous owner had just gotten them out of a JC Whitney catalog or something since there was no shortage of "Type R" branded parts from no name brands floating around but after seeing this video, based on the images you showed and doing a tiny bit of digging they were the factory JDM Type R bars. Crazy, that I just now discovered this, and that someone threw them in the bare bones commuter trim. I'm also very sad now that it's not in my driveway. Oh well, I got my 98 Impreza 2 door manual to keep me happy.
*_Is there any for Nissans?! Specifically the 240s?! Im just curious 😅 im a new subscriber (watching all your videos now) & im getting a 1989 240sx. It'll be my first S chassis so im a bit excited about it & trying to learn more about the history or modifications and what not 👌🏽_*
Oh, I’m so jealous. I absolutely love a good Z. I have a close friend who had a 260Z from new! and loved it, so I’ll ask him because he’s right into OEM plus style mods.
oem footlamps were offered across almost all toyotas. i retrofitted the oem kit to my zzw30, its a very subtle glow and fades out 8 seconds after door closes. also you missed the ek9 also having a factory roll cage and dry carbon rear seat delete by way of mugen.
Nice, it must be a Toyota thing. I really like it and think it’s pretty underrated. 😮😮 that’s why I love JDM so much, you think you’ve found everything just to realise you haven’t scratched the surface!
Interesting fact: the EK/EJ civic in Europe came with built in bumper protects prior to facelift and they are huge spanning half the length of the bumpers (front and back) from each corner, only the coupe model didn't come with those prior to the facelift. So, it's pretty common for people to either remove them and fill in the bumper and paint it or find an EK/EJ coupe front bumper. One more: the EP civic again in Europe could be optioned with massive rubber bumper protectors and side protects that completely ruin the car.
From the comments section pretty much the only people reporting they have it are US. The Luxury parts from Mazda Efini etc. sell better in the US. Hence as well Toyotas ‘LU’xury ‘EX’port’S’ or… LEXUS. Thanks for watching legend!
I have an NA MX5. I've seen them with a rear bootlid rack but not sure if factory. There was a set of Miata MS01 for sale recently, 3 grand the set plus shipping. Love those tri-spokes, they look good on cars of this era.
For the 0.00000043% of the population who will find this interesting: Those Civic Type R optional bars were a front and rear set. OEM Civic Type R had a red tube type front bar and no rear. That optional set is the same (other than the rear brackets) as the Integra Type R bars, BUT they also had a Civic Type R decal. PS: I have a set PPS: x2 on more Honda chat!
Would love if you created a guide to JDM auctions for us Americans. I know of yahoo auctions but have never had the confidence to buy anything. What are the best sites, what to look for, any scams that are known, recommended payment options, etc. Watching your videos makes me want to find some unique parts for my Z32 ❤
13:56 Civic EK Bumper Protectors, though not the exact same part number, but similar idea, they are very common on Civic 6th gen in Europe except the facelift. They were sold like that new in Europe and you can still buy bumpers with slots where the bumper protectors go..
The Pulsar GTi-R is such a quirky and awesome car it deserves more love and attention, but while it doesnt get all that I'll enjoy the considerably low prices asked for it ehehehe
I feel that people who go for that JDM look for their Civics here in the US often has those bumper protectors. Idk i think they look kinda neat. Keep up the good work btw! Im a huge nut for JDM optional parts. I have a couple in my possession for my Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (GTO).
Hey there, great video. I have a Mazda brochure from the 1980s that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the internet. Do you have a business email I can send an image of it to?
When I added the Veilside Honda Civic photo in the EK section I was thinking of you 🤣 I’ve got some individual cars coming next but I am thinking about it! Thanks so much for continuing to watch.
Got some TommyKaira R parts for my R33, if you ever need any pics or close-up of em (Tach, rear wing, rear bumper) just let me know. Additionally some nismo LCD clusters and the optional GT Auto spoiler for the R33 GTST.
I had a '99 RX7 Type RS which came with those woofers stock. However when I purchased it back in 2022 the woofer has been taken out already so I couldn't try the system. One thing I would say is that once it is removed, if you want to use the OEM speakers with a new head unit, the amount of electrical work would be annoying since the BOSE system sucks. They require special wiring to bypass the system in order to power the OEM speakers, which are quite terrible.
waveguide bass extension speakers still are a thing! it's the same idea as bass reflex speaker boxes or the ported variant, if you make the back air volume of a speaker resonate at the right frequency, it will enhance the speaker's response to lower frequencies and give you more bass response.
@@JDMArchives I believe that deep down you prefer the bumper protectors to the Mazdaspeed seats! (I would actually love to have the super woofere though)
@@JDMArchives indeed. Although with my bad habit of listening to music WAY louder than I should (already have tinnitus at 20) I'd just be deaf by the time I'm 30.
I have an options catalog for the mazda lantis, it has some pretty werid things in there haha. I actually own a lantis type r with every interior option.

just by you being here and the fear and loathing pfp, you’re definitely a chill ass dude that id drink with
Theres more to popularity than just algorithm.
The tommy kaira vids work as funnel to get subs being a subject people look for.

Cant put into words how much i love these videos
I’m loving sharing this content with you guys. Thank you so much!
Im glad im not the only one who is madly down the rabbit hole of car options. Keep it up mate loving the vids.
You have no idea how far down the rabbit hole I am with this stuff. Some could call me lost down here 🤣 thanks for watching 👌
Funny thing is in the US, the Bose sound wave/ super woofer was a common option in the Touring FD RX-7's (Type X in Japan) and most people delete them as they're quite heavy. I currently have 2 in my parts pile while I rebuild me car lol.
Yup. Goes to show that some of these parts are only cool looking back through rose colored lenses.
could you do like a comparison between the 2?(one with and one without)
kinda curious how much different it would sounds
Maybe sell me one?
They definitely don't seem rare at all on us touring trim.
Yeh my rx7 has that aswell, I’m in N.Z and I don’t think they’re rare, but it’s rare for people to not rip them out haha
Yooo this is right up my alley ! I'm the kind of guy who asked "Which one of these options would you prefer?" anwers "YES!"
That would make an epic title name for a video haha
my Supra actually has the green lights, was always wondering whats up with them:D
niceeeeee
You're just colorblind
My R32 has the “Cool Box” which is an insulated box that’s bolted in the glovebox that also routes air from the AC system to keep drinks and whatever else cold. One of my favorite obscure factory options and I love that mine has it. I do wish I could find a set of the light up quarter glass louvers for the R32. They scream peak 90s design.
Who asked? Go away nerd
Soo glad the mugen 3rd gen prelude got mentioned. Preludes are very slept on.
I love preludes. They have so many cool parts and so much potential. They deserve wayyy more attention!
I don't think I'll ever tire of nerding out over JDM options, specifications and general niche models etc. Best time ever.
The super woofer is so common in the BC sold Canadian spec RX7s I have seen at least 3 sets still in there and functional. Out of like 20 ish cars in the west coast rotary club.
My friend from chilliwack had it i believe, looks sweet
Did they actually sound better?
@@clix7925 they were a good compromise when you have no trunk space. But the low MHz response is meh at best. The drivers in these are not going to make heart thumping bass no matter what.
@clix7925 there's a reason why car audio enthusiasts say "no highs no lows must be Bose". No matter how big they tried to make those little speakers sound they don't replace an actual subwoofer.
Same in uk loads of jdm imported rx7 s have it
Your content has brought together all the fellow nerds, including me, and it's just overwhelming. More videos please!
I love this comment so much haha thanks 😁
Those civic bumper corners are quite popular in the UK. In fact there are so many they must have been standard on certain models. Often fitted a bit wonky.
I’ve had a pulsar GTiR with optional rear brace/rollover bar, and a JDM DC2 integra R with the optional rear brace.
I hope they are not wonky from being used! That’s so funny 🤣
And amazing! I’m such a fun of the GTiR… and the DC2 Integra is my favourite Integra, nice cars. Thanks for watching 👌
@ I think they are wonky because they were probably dealer fitted options rather than factory fitted. So depending on the quality of apprentice that fitted them the wonkier or straighter they are. I think they just have a sticky back and glue on. Thanks for the original content. Best optional extra I’ve found on a JDM import was a LSD on a Del Sol SiR.
@@JDMArchives in other eu country the only bumper you could get is with the bumper corners and on my dark grey civic they dont look so bad xd
Damn what a small gem of a channel! Loving this super nerdy content 🤓😄
Thanks legend! I’m loving this comment haha
I remember that super woofer system. I saw a demo model at a dealer when I was a young teen geeking out while my mom shopped
I would have freaked out seeing that as a kid… actually I would still geek out if I saw it now hahaha
My lexus sc400 also had the green interior light package, gotta say definitely one of my favorite parts.
That is so cool. There’s been a couple of Toyota and Lexus people comment saying they have it too. It must be a Toyota and Lexus thing!
While the JDM cars on the automotive side of the internet take all the place, no one seem to really know or care about the rest of the car which I think is sad because it makes the cars more fascinating which is why we need more of this kind of video.
I’m really glad people are enjoying this content with me. Thank you. 🙏
Man those scooby wheels are stunning!! I'm glad it isn't just me who parks miles away from everything.
They look amazing 🤤
I know right. Straight to the back corner park for me. See you there haha
Loving these vids so much, the production quality is so good. The Honda crx catalogue is well worth checking out for optional extras. Another cool one is the hilux surf, automatic rear spoiler mirror for visibility when reversing.

I’ve had a few comments for some interesting parts in the CRX. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks bro!
stuff like this really peaks my interest lol
Sick videos keep up the good work I mentioned in one of the previous videos to add the nismo gtir too 👍
I did have you in mind when I added the GTiR in, but couldn’t find the comment. Thanks! And I’m glad you’re still here to see it 😁
I love your videos so much, every second is worth watching

Awesome! So it goes back in time further than the mk4, great to know 👌
Some top content bro I hope to see you blow up. These videos deserve it!
You have captivated me with a JDM topic I would have never thought of! Great presentation also. Hope you get more subscribers!
I love this content! You just put me on those type F's and MS-01s for my 3
Awesome! They are one of my favourite seats 👌
The ae86 and ae85 Levin/trueno had the option a shoe box in the trunk
No way!! I have to see that
Civic SiR bumper corners are dope especially with the matching front SiR chin spoiler
The front hook on the ZZ looks to be on backwards as like a storage position? The hood opens up forward like a Corvette and looks to have the picture being taken from the driver's door looking in
That makes sense. It just seems so unusual to have it in such a hard to reach location. Thanks for watching legend!

Should also add to this list the optional navigation for skyline r30
in high school we found a smoke shop that sold 555. This was like 1998, in wisconsin and we were obsessed with the sti.
Wow that is so cool!
Great video, very enjoyable watch
You just earned a sub, love the video 🙏🙏

I used to have a set of those Mugen CF48s on my JDM 88 CR-X. My favorite wheels. Weighed almost nothing being a 14" rim.
I think the superwoofer was apart of the Touring package here in the U.S. My ‘93 has it as well as the Tonneau Cover and its a really interesting design. I dont think it works anymore though and as far as Im aware there is only one person in the U.S. that rebuilds them
Is there any brochures with cool parts for the Integra/ RSX?
Every JDM has cool optional parts 👌 it’s why I love JDM so much!

Pretty cool you should do brand specific videos for each model. Of 80s/90’s imports.
That’s an awesome idea. I’ve been planning some specific car videos too. Thanks for watching 😊
@ I’ve got a R33 gtst so I’d be keen for that video 😍

*_Is there any for Nissans?! Specifically the 240s?! Im just curious 😅 im a new subscriber (watching all your videos now) & im getting a 1989 240sx. It'll be my first S chassis so im a bit excited about it & trying to learn more about the history or modifications and what not 👌🏽_*
Oh, I’m so jealous. I absolutely love a good Z. I have a close friend who had a 260Z from new! and loved it, so I’ll ask him because he’s right into OEM plus style mods.
oem footlamps were offered across almost all toyotas. i retrofitted the oem kit to my zzw30, its a very subtle glow and fades out 8 seconds after door closes.
also you missed the ek9 also having a factory roll cage and dry carbon rear seat delete by way of mugen.
Nice, it must be a Toyota thing. I really like it and think it’s pretty underrated.
😮😮 that’s why I love JDM so much, you think you’ve found everything just to realise you haven’t scratched the surface!
love these vids
Love these comments 😁👌
Interesting fact: the EK/EJ civic in Europe came with built in bumper protects prior to facelift and they are huge spanning half the length of the bumpers (front and back) from each corner, only the coupe model didn't come with those prior to the facelift. So, it's pretty common for people to either remove them and fill in the bumper and paint it or find an EK/EJ coupe front bumper.
One more: the EP civic again in Europe could be optioned with massive rubber bumper protectors and side protects that completely ruin the car.
Thanks for the info! I’ll have to look up some pictures of that
That bose speaker system was a stock option in the usa rz7. Part of the bose sound system. Or am i wrong?
From the comments section pretty much the only people reporting they have it are US. The Luxury parts from Mazda Efini etc. sell better in the US. Hence as well Toyotas ‘LU’xury ‘EX’port’S’ or… LEXUS. Thanks for watching legend!
I have an NA MX5. I've seen them with a rear bootlid rack but not sure if factory. There was a set of Miata MS01 for sale recently, 3 grand the set plus shipping. Love those tri-spokes, they look good on cars of this era.
For the 0.00000043% of the population who will find this interesting: Those Civic Type R optional bars were a front and rear set. OEM Civic Type R had a red tube type front bar and no rear. That optional set is the same (other than the rear brackets) as the Integra Type R bars, BUT they also had a Civic Type R decal.
PS: I have a set
PPS: x2 on more Honda chat!
That’s awesome! Thanks for the info 👌
Would love if you created a guide to JDM auctions for us Americans. I know of yahoo auctions but have never had the confidence to buy anything. What are the best sites, what to look for, any scams that are known, recommended payment options, etc.
Watching your videos makes me want to find some unique parts for my Z32 ❤
9:58 my 1986.5 A70 Supra (MK3) had the green foot lamp glow as a factory option!
So cool 👌, thanks for watching 😁
13:56 Civic EK Bumper Protectors, though not the exact same part number, but similar idea, they are very common on Civic 6th gen in Europe except the facelift. They were sold like that new in Europe and you can still buy bumpers with slots where the bumper protectors go..
I’ve had a few comments from Europe saying a similiar thing. It’s such an usual manufacturing decision. Thanks for the info 👌
We always need more Honda ;)
We absolutely do!
Hell yeah, another obscure parts video. I wanna see some obscure cars next..
The Pulsar GTi-R is such a quirky and awesome car it deserves more love and attention, but while it doesnt get all that I'll enjoy the considerably low prices asked for it ehehehe
Hahaha that’s funny. Sometimes I think to myself, I shouldn’t mention this car and part because I want to keep it to myself and not expensive haha
Really good video
I feel that people who go for that JDM look for their Civics here in the US often has those bumper protectors. Idk i think they look kinda neat.
Keep up the good work btw! Im a huge nut for JDM optional parts. I have a couple in my possession for my Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (GTO).
I'm just now noticing that you had S tier labeled as F near the end.
I hope not! I checked the video so many times 🤣
15:55 well then I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but...
@@JDMArchivesNOOOOO MATE HES RIGHT
Power up the bass cannon. Fire.😁
Sooo good!!! 🔊 🔊 🔊
@@JDMArchives Yeah, it’s a classic banger. 😁
Hey there, great video. I have a Mazda brochure from the 1980s that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the internet. Do you have a business email I can send an image of it to?
Let the bass cannon kick it
So goooodd! 📣📢🚗
day 4 of asking for a VeilSide car list video please bro please 😭🙏
When I added the Veilside Honda Civic photo in the EK section I was thinking of you 🤣 I’ve got some individual cars coming next but I am thinking about it! Thanks so much for continuing to watch.
Green interior lights on a Supra can only mean… GO!
That’s probably why they only had green!
Got some TommyKaira R parts for my R33, if you ever need any pics or close-up of em (Tach, rear wing, rear bumper) just let me know. Additionally some nismo LCD clusters and the optional GT Auto spoiler for the R33 GTST.
I had a '99 RX7 Type RS which came with those woofers stock. However when I purchased it back in 2022 the woofer has been taken out already so I couldn't try the system. One thing I would say is that once it is removed, if you want to use the OEM speakers with a new head unit, the amount of electrical work would be annoying since the BOSE system sucks. They require special wiring to bypass the system in order to power the OEM speakers, which are quite terrible.
Thanks for sharing! That’s crazy that it was that much effort for something that doesn’t even work that well lol
@@JDMArchives yeah certainly. I now have a '02 RX7 and the OEM speaker systems that came with it are better than the BOSE ones.
great vid!
Which auction site do you search on
I am looking for OEM optional extra for my EE90 toyota corolla.
yahoo auctions/buyee is usually the way to go
you have to do the eunos roadster
Thats such a good idea 👌
waveguide bass extension speakers still are a thing!
it's the same idea as bass reflex speaker boxes or the ported variant, if you make the back air volume of a speaker resonate at the right frequency, it will enhance the speaker's response to lower frequencies and give you more bass response.
DANKPOD! call ya boy! he is a good audio reviewer. +10
I like how the S tier became the F tier, after the bumper protectors
It’s funny cause I had so many problems with that bit of the recording… it’s like the bumper protectors spited my decision 🤣
@@JDMArchives I believe that deep down you prefer the bumper protectors to the Mazdaspeed seats! (I would actually love to have the super woofere though)
14:01 shingo needs this
What's better than a sub woofer? A dom woofer!
It’s Epic isn’t it!
@@JDMArchives indeed. Although with my bad habit of listening to music WAY louder than I should (already have tinnitus at 20) I'd just be deaf by the time I'm 30.
I NEED MOREEEEEEE
The bose sound wave is super common here in US spec FD's
I have an options catalog for the mazda lantis, it has some pretty werid things in there haha. I actually own a lantis type r with every interior option.
That’s so cool. I’m so jealous haha
yoo you have an insta account or anything? would love to see some photos
@@roguemimikyu4061 yeah bro, @_bailey.jpeg
