    A massive thank you to everyone who created the content I used in this video, years of old photos and hard drive footage; I hope you enjoy PT 2 of the import boom top 40; sorry again for being late on this. I keep underestimating how long it takes to sort everything onto a timeline. Regardless, cheers for watching; feel free to add some info on cars here if I've messed up; always keen to see or hear of various machines I have limited knowledge on. Thanks ❤

    The final Kazama S15 is now located in Sweden. It still had the livery when it arrived but has since been removed. The guy who imported the car said on a forum post that "the car will get a cooler look and truly be one of a kind when he's done". Thank god he didn't get to tearing it appart before selling it. It’s been to the last two Vicious Delicious events that I've hosted, still red, has some Kiwamis now but other than that it's a true time capsule.
    Bonus story: One of the Mona Lisa stunt cars were at one point painted flat military green and used as a drift somewhere in the world. The car later made it's way to Sweden where the owner started sanding down the green paint to repaint the car, only to realize that the original Mona Lisa paintjob was still fairly intact underneath. The car is completely rebuilt with no connection what so ever to it's Mona Lisa prime. The car was labeled "#55, VIN000091, Han/Sean, Turbo."

    Great video! So many cars I remember over the years and funny how many of them I still have parts of from buying off forums and donedeal 😂 The orange s14.5 in part 1 of the video was my holy grail car growing up and I purchased all of the panels off it when it came up for breaking when I was 13 years old with my confirmation money and I still have the full Uras monkey magic bodykit, Masa motorsport wings and carbon fibre bonnet, some of which still have the crazy orange pearl flip paint. Also have URAS tail lights which I believe came from the same car but I could never find any photos of the rear of the car.
    Another honourable mention for RYO-D cars would’ve been their PS13 which landed in Ireland I believe, there’s a good thread on the old driftireland forum of different cars that came during the boom with lots of photos from the docks.

    It looks like the Mona Lisa S15 was one of the stunt cars? One of them ended up in Sweden, and got built into a full blown drift car with carbon kevlar body parts etc. I was lucky enough to see it outside of work once, and luckily I’d driven my own S15 to work the same day. It was cool to see the difference between them!

    I've got a fair few photos of that 180sx that Strang had before it was painted black. I also remember Danny's Green Machine S14 very well, my girlfriend at the time loved that car so much. Simon Perry's pink Lassa Tyres R33 was also really high profile at that time. Maybe you can try and find out some more information about what happened to the S.T. Garage Lexus IS350! The last information I know about that car is that Daigo Saito bought it, but I don't think it's been seen since then. It was supposedly going to be his next big D1 chassis before he went mental with the JZX100 and started competing in FD US. Around that time he also bought Sam Hubinette's Dodge Challenger too, but information is scarce about what happened to that machine too. Last I seen it was sitting on top of a container in a DriftGames video at Daigo's complex.

    The vanning is something that I’ve never seen or heard of. We did a US custom van in 2000 and thought we went over the top, nothing even close to those wild looking machines. So much time, effort and money. Certainly not road friendly, we had enough problems because the top of the roof was 9”. Just hard or impossible to park, I can’t imagine adding feet of wings to the roof.

We got LOTS of cars with c-west, 5zigen and Vielside parts. It was rare to find an import (at least in the early days before everyone jumped on board and started mass importing) that didn't have something Trust, GReddy, Blitz or Apex-i.
