as a car nerd, and also a GTA car nerd, I appreciate this content so much. I'd like to think that this is how I would have done it. excellent production quality. keep up the good work!
I like to think of these videos like actual documentaries in the gta universe you see on tv in game lol I love the lore in the videos and the quality too
Just so y'all know, it was reported that a few weeks back, Tony McTony himself had a modified Kanjo SJ stolen from his private submarine. Whether or not you believe it actually happened is up to you, but it undoubtedly gave more unnecessary fuel to the Dinka fanbois who already wouldn't shut up about asking "if the Futo was so great why did they stop making it???"
yo i heard about that. latest rumors are it was spotted driving out of some scrap yard and ended up at the LS Port so who knows where it is at this point? i almost couldn't believe the footage of a submarine pulled onto the beach in Paleto Bay surrounded by a bunch of police. just as crazy as the time the military got involved in some bank robbery up there 10 years ago.
@@cheefukeefu so it was true, that's crazy. If it was at the port it's probably halfway to Liberty State or Vice City by now. Can't think of anyone rich and stupid enough to pull this off but I guess someone wanted a 20-year-old LSC special Dinka that badly.
Living in Southern San Andreas really isn't worth it when there's shit like this happening every day, crazy to think Liberty City is safer than this shithole, its been a decade since we peaked in homicides and carjackings and it still hasnt dropped!!!
I swear i remember on the news there was something about 2 dinka blista kanjos were also found abandoned outside paleto bay after being used in a robbery at the diamond casino but that was a long time ago
Fun fact, last year saw a guy get hit by a 2011 Blista, fucking turned him into ground beef (No really this is something I actually saw like in real life)
I actually had the luck of owning a 1996 Kanjo SJ in that insanely rare teal colour they did, with a sunroof! It was obviously too tempting to keep it stock, but except for some lowering springs, a set of wheels and some colour coded parts it largely stayed stock. I think that was the appeal of that car - I've never been a fan of the Kanjo hatch styling, but as a coupe it worked wonderfully. Sold it because rust became an issue and because a great deal came up on a '97 Previon with the 6 cyl so it had to go. Learned recently that the Previon's engine is shared with the Dinka Jester: isn't it crazy Karin had to borrow a Dinka engine for their flagship coupe?
Man, this feels straight out of Rockstar Games themselves. Your writing style is 100% on point. If they don't hire you soon it's their loss tbh. Amazing work. I am gonna go binge watch your channel now.
I'm surprised you haven't done the Vapid Dominator yet - It recently received the the actual accurate design by the name of 'Dominator GT', you should definitely do it!
The blista and the sugoi has been my dream car for quite awhile now. Some people might find that lame since most people want a sultan or a jester but I just love these little cars. I've seen so many posts of people on Life Invader about them and how they're so slow but fun to drive. Can't wait to get one some day!
I liked that you said that the V8 is a Engine Cover, These are virtual Cars anyway, we dont have to Stick to the Engine Textures since they are Washy anyway.

This got recommended to me today and went into it not knowing what to expect. I like the "tog gear car review" style for these online vehicles! Great video, you gained a sub!
please bro keep up with this content i love it its original and really well put together i wait everyday for u to drop another review on another gta v car
Ah yeah, my brother owns an SJ, sweet little car. sat parked outside facing the same direction so long the clear coat failed only on the one side. Sunroof still works but as another owner mentioned, the sunroof shade gets stuck a lot. But the aircon works, the stereo was swapped for an aftermarket unit. a Kakagawa I think? and a big subwoofer was added. It's just a great little runabout with good mileage. Definitely quite the departure from my Rebel. Comparable to our dad's Sultan though. (In universe jokes aside, my brother really does own a 2003 honda civic coupe. And our dad owns an 04' Impreza and I've got an 82' Hilux. A very strange collection of cars. I do find it pretty funny that they've all got GTA counterparts though.)
I always loved the Blista, and Kanjo, the Kanjo SJ more so, I got one in a nice deep blue with all of the OEM goodies, factory fog lights, optional spoiler, sunroof, polished alloy rims and body colored trim (based on the EM1 Si) unfortunately the sunroof shade gets stuck shut, and the 3rd brake light in the spoiler has a loose connector so both don't really work right now.. other than that, it's a great car. (For real though, who decided it was a good idea to have a permanently closed sunroof shade on the SJ?.. and the 3rd brake light in the spoiler is missing an inside texture so you can see straight through it and the spoiler, those issues bug me way more than they probably should.) Plus it would've been nice if the spoiler that's close to the Si spoiler had a 3rd brake light too, like the real one.
I was super disappointed when I found out they went the length of adding third brake lights to the SJ spoilers but didn't bother making them work (missing textures and not adding them to OEM looking spoilers sucks too). However, the extra antenna and grill options (to somewhat change the year) were great options.
@@virtualcarchive yeah I'm curious how the third brake light issue slipped through when the SM722 has a working one for example, also agreed, I'd say a lot of the other options make up for it in the long run, I'm still a sucker for OEM stuff no matter what

I love my 3rd gen blista, small zippy little dude, handles like a dream…. gaunlets and dominators driving on the canyons should watch out… I still don’t understand why the other dinka fanatics hate it.
@@virtualcarchive I could be wrong, but I think that while the SJ says it's from the early 2000s, nothing suggests that the regular Kanjo is older. So, I'd assume it follows the real life order even if the years are a bit off.
That's a fair point. My understanding was that the naming conventions would also make more sense if the SJ was a spinoff of the Blista K, though the opposite could be argued as well.
There is one glaring error with this video. The Blista Kanjo would have came out AFTER the Blista Kanjo SJ. The SJ is based on the 5th gen Civic EJ1 coupe, while the hatchback Kanjo came out after, representing the 6th generation EK9. The SJ would have been for the 1992-1995 model years, while the standard hatch Kanjo would have been for the 96-00 model years. Rockstar just messed up the naming. Honestly, the Kanjo SJ needs to drop the Kanjo nameplate for it to be somewhat acurrate to real life. Hopefully R* drops the weird trim names and just moves over to model years. Oh, and you also called the SJ a sedan. It's a coupe. Good video, but the writing could use a touch more research.
I used to have a 2009 Dinka Bilsta it was red in color until some guy in a Fathom FQ2 ran a red light and sideswiped my car it was totaled I replaced it with a Obey Tailgater
I kinda disagree on the engine, it is a FENOMENAL engine, and yes while you have to be precise with the throttle while cornering due to FWD problems, it still a BEAUTIFULLY built engine that revs up to 10k, for me that’s the best of FWD you can possibly desire
