I met the previous owner of the cat one day when she was jogging. She's mad cool, doesn't mind that the cat is under my care now, only cares that the cat is still alive. She had previously thought it was dead. I think the cat is about 10 years old now according to the vet estimates.
Sam should definitely take the kitten to the shop to live around drift cars and also be taken to every drift event repping the yashio one off cat outfit
These videos always send shivers down my spine knowing that these cars were once owned by young car guys and girls with big plans just to see them here now left to die. Also adopt that cat she's adorable
@@zacariasblanco9738 and that means he doesn't deserve someone to give him a loving home with care and attention? Nope you've just made a pointless comment. I didn't say anything about it not having food etc. I simply said give the cat a loving home that it deserves.
@sammit Ken Maeda was the driver, in the old option vids they would refer to him as Maeken. He drove the OG Up Garage Hachi, the bright yellow one from back in the mid 2000s D1 days. He eventually drove for Race Factory and Grenade. One of my favorite drivers for sure!
Love these videos even though they're hard to watch. The nostalgia is completely lost on these abandoned relics for the people that owned them and the rest of us are forced to "look but don't/can't touch"...
I'd love to see a restoration of the FD and whoever does this I hope the person will take it for a last round across a track where it belonged✌️ It's definitely sad to see all these cars rusting away even when they are crushed like the s15 🥺
Man seeing all those cars abandoned really breaks my heart. Id be trying to save as many as I could. Hopefully some day I can open a restomod shop for that purpose
Everyone shedding tears over the cars, im over here shedding a tear over the sad cries from that kitty. You should definitely save that kitty, poor thing is so affectionate. PS. Orange car at end is an Izuzi Gemini by the looks.
Finding such hidden gems in junkyards really catches my eye more than looking at the super cars or hyper cars that most young car enthusiasts would rather see today. I’m young myself and I’m really surprised by how many people don’t know what the “twerkstalion” (AKA Hert’s RX7 FC) is or what the rx7 fc or fd is in general. If there’s anything I would do to that FD rx7 I would take the time to restore it to its original state. I even heard news about the Haruguchi RX7 being restored along with knowing that they got it running. It’s sad to see these cars rot away and to make things worse, how much someone would want for them.
I would love to see you pick up the FD, even if you only store it in a dry place for the time being to later build it back into a drift car (or a street/drift car if registration can be done). Or even a grip car instead of drift 👀Could be a cool save, even if not for now. But damn. It hurts to see all those cool cars just rotting away... Cosmo/FC/FD/RX8/S2000 and all the others :(
Yeah that FD deserves to be saved, such a cool piece of history and its not even in bad shape, hell I would toss in a few grand just to help him store it!
@@eliasspeed5882 why from video the cat dosen't look unhealthy. The cat meowing had nothing to do with it wanting food just wanted attention obviously seeing as it moved on. Its probably their to do a job and that's to keep mice from completely destroying those cars.
You missed a nice volvo s60 with their second biggest engine, the T5. Good engine for drifting with lots of low end torque. Would be really cool to see someone do that in japan
I'm begging, literally anyone, in the universe that cares to save that RX-7. I've seen the footage of how that beauty used to drift on the Pro Circuit. I don't care if you're a nobody or someone who's gonna put her in a museum behind glass just save that car from its fate. The worst pain you can experience in this world is the pain of being Forgotten, no one deserves to be forgotten because that is when we truly die. there's a famous quote by George Elliott that explains why I'm asking for this car to be saved "Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them". so if that car dies we'll never know how this happened to her. I believe I know the best name for her, she should be called the Revengeance X-7. Named after the Raiden Metal Gear Solid Spin off where Raiden comes back from near death to right the wrongs inflicted on him and finally have closure in his life. it sounds just like the perfect story for this Drift Legend that was left for dead in a scrapyard and replaced with an RX-8.
The Storia is actually pretty cool It's Storia X4, 71xCC AWD turbo for some japan specific racing class It is developed from get go as a mootorsport homologation vehicle
That orange car I believe is a Isuzu Gemini sedan. It was sold here in the US as the Chevrolet/ Geo Spectrum. My mother had one of these in the late 80s - 94 before trading it for a Van. Never would have expected it to be worth tuning.
Cars like that were ten a penny back then, leaving them was no big deal, now we wouldn't because there's less of them. There plenty of cool abandoned cars in the UK too and across Europe.
I tried looking into the driver of that FD3S but his wiki page is used by a different Ken Maeda who was apparently a comedian/actor unfortunately. The only thing I found was that he placed 20th in 2005 D1GP at Fuji Speedway
8:35 that was actually a sti type r. so a 2 door coupe the little brother of the 22b very rare pretty much like the nismo s14 from tommy in the nissan world. the cut out rear quaters alone should be worth a couple grand!
You should try to get one of those FC's and definitely find out about the Silvia for the door's and strut towers. I love your content and believe in you! You're living the dream
the guy is called ken Maeda and he was a D1GP driver. found an old video of him drifting back in 2006 at Hawaii raceway park before it got shut down. link: ua-cam.com/video/SrHUUFmxgt8/v-deo.html
Their apartment doesn't allow cats. Good way to violate your lease. At minimum they'd be fined and the cat would go to an animal shelter. Cats are resilient. I'm sure there's plenty of mice around there to keep it's belly full.

Unfortunately, we didn't UA-cam it. But I got the chance to restore an Abflug FD RX7. We restored the paint (without respraying ) and some decals. We actually drove it to Hot Import Nights @ Mohegan Sun in CT. Was a great time!
Reminds me of the Muscle car junkyard I went to get my 1970 Dodge Charger. There was 300 muscle cars GTX, Road Runners, Chevelles, Novas Oldsmobile 442s etc.. I own a 1998 Eclipse and just bought a 1997 FD right hand drive before anyone makes a comment wth is a domestic car guy watching this lol.
i grew up on that RX-7 FD when i was kid i was looking how he was drifting that rx-7 fd and if i own it i would restore it to that glory if i has mo much money i would fly to japan and rescue this legends old drift cars save them, restore them to there glory days and keep them and never sold them.
In a heartbeat I would snatch the D1 car and restore it as good as it could be to it's D1 glory days and the S15 for the parts.... Love this videos keep up the awesomeness Sam. CHEERS!
Love to see old racecars love to see old mugen civics. I would restore the FD back to it's former glory just to add to the collection of other former race cars
Gave a like for the cat maybe name him Alto. Also I'm always surprised every time you do videos of these junk yards or auctions I never see z31 fairlady z cars. You should do a trip down to sasebo area some real unique finds when I was stationed there years ago I remember seeing a GMC typhoon in someone's driveway as well as a 64 Impala that was so massive it stuck out into the street from the guy's house lol that one was in a neighboring town of sasebo by an arcade heading towards Nagasaki if I remember.
@19:37 That's an Isuzu Gemini!! Yeah, ask me, the canadian Isuzu guy who want to move to Japan!!! What a dream yard!!! There's definitely something to do with most of the cars!!! Obviously I'd save that Isuzu obviously... Otherwise the Cosmo is kinda rare, and the R34....
Great, got fired today and was looking for a nice video to watch and now I see these abandoned cars. Iam nearly crying again But still nice video Keep up the good work
@SAMMIT the orange little sedan is called an Isuzu Gemini, they usually have a little badge on the side that said (handling by lotus) it's late 80's early 90's car. They had a dual overhead cam and there were some other models that came turbo.
Considering you found the cat in a Suzuki, next to another Suzuki, how about "Suki"? EDIT: As for the orange four door, that is a Isuzu I-Mark. A buddy of mine had one back in high school and my mom had a hatchback version when I was little.
Can’t believe the front bumper of the FD is still there! The car wore Grenade aero which is really rare apparently. Someone should at least buy the bumper if car isn’t saveable
I think the orange car was an Isuzu, they were the last of the Holden Gemini here in Australia.. That old drift car should be reassembled and displayed somewhere... not restored just cleaned up gently like an historic artifact.. Great video Sam , much respect from Paul in South Australia.
That orange car close to the Miata may be a 1982 Toyota Tercel saloon. The tail lights may make it a bit newer, but the body shape is very, very similar from the images I've found on Google. Hope that helps your query
It's doesn't rain when your sad it rains because your sad. Gems like those will break your heart as a car lover. Definitely snatch the blue one for parts that old racecar needs a full race spec revival livery is pretty damn cool too
your video made me actually cry... In czechia theres no place like this *happily*, but sadly no place where to buy cars like these... you was talking about r34, yeah, have any option to buy it, I've already done it, maybe in the future will visit japan...
look what I found on Ken maeda Of course, many Japanese drivers flew out to Los Angeles for D1. Believe it or not, many of the Japanese drivers have to qualify for the competition just like everyone else. Here's Ken Maeda in the Grenade RX-7.
I’d love restore the FD’s and and the FC. 4 Rotor FD is probably every Rotary Car lovers dream. As I am a Rotary fan I’d love to see a rotary on the channel!
![Customer States & Mechanical Fails [The Best of 2023]](/img/n.gif)
Bring the kitty home and call it Suzuki, it's meant to be!
Good name😊
Suki would be better
Thats exactly what i thought to call it
He can be a shop cat
Yo it would be cool but their apartment doesn’t accept cats
Take the cat home Sam. The apartment people don't need to know... or it could be the shop cat.
Edit: Several years ago my friend & I saved two tiny kittens from a 300z we found at our local junkyard. They were so young they couldn't even go to the bathroom themselves. They went on to live well. I haven't followed up with who received them but they should still be kickin'.

That cat has adopted you. Best friend for life if you save him from there. Don't pass that opportunity up bro...
I’d also really appreciate you taking that cat home :( I feel so bad for him
Sam should definitely take the kitten to the shop to live around drift cars and also be taken to every drift event repping the yashio one off cat outfit

Ken Maeda was a super popular driver for many years. I'd honestly forgotten he drove that FD, he was more known for driving AE86s.

whoever put this legendary cars in the junkyard f@#$ you
Junk yards rely on a income of money they don’t care where it comes from as long as it ends up in there hands
Drift HQ Australia did restore Haraguchi’s RX-7 FC, I really want them to restore Maeda’s RX-7 FD, it’s hard to let it rot more
Yeah, its sad to see. It was on the auto salon carpet back in 2006.
Ken Maeda was known for driving the famous Up Garage orange/yellow AE86 with his insane full-send drift initiations. Always wowed the judges.
Is he the same person that made the impressions, or is it another person.

I would love to see you restore that FD to its glory days, and keep it in storage for a later project.
bringing back the og times when you use to go to undisclosed locations to look at abandoned race cars luv the vids
Probably not got time during drift season
Maeda's FD still has a ton of goodies on it! You can see a white cluster which if from mazda is like $1.8k USD or if it's an re one $3k+.
You should fix that FD that race car would be awesome and then you could show it off to the people that used to race it I bet they would be stoked
It would be nice
That intro B-roll almost brings a tear to my eye. Such a sad ending for such epic cars
I actually cried
For the FD I would clean and rebuild it but keep the abandoned look with the old paint and livery.
patina

it might be the junk yard ownners cat, and its also an old kitty, taking it out of its territory into a stange location might do more harm then good
That was one of the most gut wrenching videos. My heart just aches for that FD and the owner and what they might have gone through. 💔

Unfortunately, we didn't UA-cam it. But I got the chance to restore an Abflug FD RX7. We restored the paint (without respraying ) and some decals. We actually drove it to Hot Import Nights @ Mohegan Sun in CT. Was a great time!
Fd has, and always will be, my favorite JDM car. The lines are just perfect, imho.
Okachan would know ken maeda, hes still drifting to this day :) awesome guy. So many gems there, I would walk out broke
so the goal is to have 15 S15s? seems like a fitting number. the cosmo is nice.
Reminds me of the Muscle car junkyard I went to get my 1970 Dodge Charger. There was 300 muscle cars GTX, Road Runners, Chevelles, Novas Oldsmobile 442s etc.. I own a 1998 Eclipse and just bought a 1997 FD right hand drive before anyone makes a comment wth is a domestic car guy watching this lol.
Where is that junkyard
That Renault Clio 182 has got to be a rare sight over there! The orange car is an Isuzu Gemini
i grew up on that RX-7 FD when i was kid i was looking how he was drifting that rx-7 fd and if i own it i would restore it to that glory if i has mo much money i would fly to japan and rescue this legends old drift cars save them, restore them to there glory days and keep them and never sold them.
Well if you fixed that FD that would be epic.. the car would be like a phoenix rising from the ashes 😁
You should rescue that lil guy. He’s too sweet!!
If at all possible, bringing the FD to the channel would be crazy
WOW so many good JDM car's. That FD RX-7 definitely has a story.
AE86 too..... "Name the cat Suzuki"
In a heartbeat I would snatch the D1 car and restore it as good as it could be to it's D1 glory days and the S15 for the parts....
Love this videos keep up the awesomeness Sam.

The orange car at the end was a Isuzu Gemini, branded as a Holden in AU and Imark in the US.

it's so sad to see these cars left rotting away. I'd love to see them restored
I agree to the T I am doing a full restoration of a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse race car myself that used to be drag raced in the early 2000s
for the RX7 id carefully remove the livery and frame it. then fully restore it with an N/A 26B and an LTO widebody or just stock
Honestly I would restore it like it is supposed to be because that is one a lifetime chance to doing that
Gave a like for the cat maybe name him Alto. Also I'm always surprised every time you do videos of these junk yards or auctions I never see z31 fairlady z cars.

Its so painfull to see all this legends are left to rust to death. They can be restored.😢
So sad to see all of these amazing cars just rotting away, the amount of money still in parts on a lot of those cars is insane

bro your b-role footage at the beginin of your videos are allways amazing
sheeeeesh
That FD drift car needs to be saved and just put back together. Not restored. Just left the way it sits for nostalgia
Wish there was an english speaking channel that just bought up cars like this and restored them. Would be such fun content to watch.
The owners don't release them most of the times
Save the kitty Sammit!! He deserves a wonderful loving home :)
your video made me actually cry... In czechia theres no place like this *happily*, but sadly no place where to buy cars like these... you was talking about r34, yeah, have any option to buy it, I've already done it, maybe in the future will visit japan...
Great vid Sam! Keep up the good work! Love the channel 👍👍👍
if u can for cheap buy the fc or FD would both make really cool restorations even if u dont get to work on them soon
This place.. Is this the place where JDM cars come to rest? Wow
That kitty seems to like the company too!
That FD is so awesome! Remember it from PS2 in Grand Turisimo. You could pay and get to see D1 rounds. I would Rather fix that FD than the rs lancer…
look what I found on Ken maeda
Of course, many Japanese drivers flew out to Los Angeles for D1. Believe it or not, many of the Japanese drivers have to qualify for the competition just like everyone else. Here's Ken Maeda in the Grenade RX-7.
I’d love restore the FD’s and and the FC. 4 Rotor FD is probably every Rotary Car lovers dream. As I am a Rotary fan I’d love to see a rotary on the channel!
You should try an pull the fd out and resurrect it but keep its livery as a practice car or playing around just for its history alone
