ΛDRIΛNWΛVE - it's good to see you again!!
• ΛDRIΛNWΛVE - it's good...
China: Cars here are so expensive.
Denmark: Hold my beer...
Im a Chinese who really into cars, owing a 1jz IS and use it as a daily is probably the most courageous and coolest thing you can do with cars in China. Now I moved to Britain haha😂 it truly is hard to play with car in China. Either go with classic or vintage which polished to be a garage queen or just go get a supercar, you need to be rich, really rich..
try Switzerland! :D
Singapore: Bunch of pussies...
I here norway it's real expensive to own cars.
Junfei wu Do they have to scrap the supercars after 12 years also?
1- just buy a peace of junk and it'll be ok
2- yeah so this tuned lexus... Good choice
Sweet ride that Alteeza is. Some serious engine work there. Do you have water injection on it? Look into it if you don't. You can run higher boost without detonation, or the same boost while using lower octane fuel to save money. The Buick Grand National guys have had great success with that system. For both of you though, how come no tinted windows? They really would help keep the temps down inside the car and lighten the load on the AC system.
Fuck water injection, lost two engines with about 20k worth of blueprinting/cnc machining/balancing because no system on the market right now offers 100% consistent flow.
E85 is the future, no one ever goes back from E85 for a reason.
A car guy, mad props, car guys can always understand other car guys, that must smoke almost anything in china out there.
Altezza is really huge here in Botswana......because its a nice fast car
We don't really have this around here. That's one thing l miss about home. Even my wife asks "Why do people work on cars that aren't broken?" haha
+World Traveler东北 lol. thats too sad :(
+laowhy86 indeed! oh the part about super cars.. absolutely! a month or so ago near the edge of town at the stop light is a farmer with his horse cart, next to him at the light is a new 991 gen Porsche turbo. i really wish i had my camera with me :))
haha yeah. one time i saw a Lamborghini murcielago driving on a dirt road in the middle of Hunan next to farmers digging holes. I am pretty sure the village didn't even have electricity
on the video photo i can see a purple car is that a Ferrari and is it Stanley's? ha ha i used to teach that guy.
well i drive toyota corolla 1994 :). no power steeling. in china u should drive a heavy cheap jeep. no one will bump you..
Nice car! What's the retail on one of those?
+colinz12345 this cost about 48,000$ to build
After seeing this and the stolen video, it does sadden me a bit. I like China and Korea but their car culture just plain sucks.
I'm very curious about the HK / Japanese imports. I was under the impression RHD cars were just flat out illegal in China, apart from the HK dual licence plated cars. Being from the UK, such things are just second nature and I take it for granted. I have an imported Evo VI and paid 9k gbp. I imagine would be priced a lot higher than that with all the charges etc getting it into China and registered.
Figureight hey u must be one of rich people in UK who take cars for granted because half of uk can't afford cars
@@anjaneyagaming295 uk are all rich in comparison even homeless drug addicts make equal to 1000s of yuan per month
Can you get the VW GTI in china? I know VW/Audi are pretty popular in China.
PowerJuiceIam you are right.audi's market share is much bigger than benz or BMW. because audi is considered as a governmental car brand in china.
Nice
Wedding gift was shit ? I hope the person that gave it to you did not see this or shown this as you just made him lose face !
👍
aye got the same whip
did you change the stock turbo from the Soar engine
Winston You look like Moto-Man to me. I like making up names also.
Need some furry dice Winston ? Just joking.....well at leat c-milks is a boy racer ?
that's because you are laoway, ha, ha, ha
If you have a car in questionable legal status. Why would you show it on yourutbe, I think you even showed the plate. Seems like your looking to get caught.
Hilarious how Winston kept quietly zooming in on defects on Matt's car while Matt was pointing out the cool stuff about it. Passive aggressive much?
"Passive aggressive?" You mean he was being a dick? Nah, I didn't really notice.
Some people are just SHOCKINGLY [shocked the fuck out of me when I noticed it] self-conscious, and overly sensitive. Kind of sad really. I mean you could just be enjoying your life with zero intention of offending, or looking down on anyone, and some people take all sort's of offense, and feel your slighting them/hurting their feelings, while they feel inferior.
It's not me who feel's superior to you, it's YOU who feel inferior to me!
Please stop using that background "noise"...
+olaru alex music?
I wouldn't go that far by calling that noise music... No disrespect, but the noise merges into your vocal recording and hearing them (noise + vocal) at the same time gets confusing. You shall try a more neutral music background... Anyway, the vlog is interesting even whithout any music background.:))
Take care!
P.S. : Im from Romania, wich was under comunism regim until the Revolution(1989)
so i tend to see a resemblance in some ways :)))
how you put jayz in you video with out getting some strike ?
The hell are you even talking about? Where'd this Nazi shit come from? What?
For a second I thought my heaphones just broke lol then I changed to an other video and tested the same video with an other pair and yup it just has lots of static noise in the background
did this video sound really washed out to anyone else?
probably 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds sounds about right for is HP figures, nice proper quick 1jz man. If you guys are ever on the west coast of the USA let me know.
Car sounds really good 👍
+Jack Lin thanks man!
From what i heard Laowhy86 a tuned up lamborghini one night in Shenzhen doing over 170 hit one of them blue electric taxi's, i think 4 people died and then the gov't cracked down on tuning cars, my fellow UK mate had a tune shop set up in Shenzhen and he's now back in the UK living. Which is a real shame cause there is a huge market for tuning cars, by the way guy's, 100% nailed it on Chinese wanting BMW's and the such as "status symbols" That side of Chinese culture really cracks me up, i had what i thought a really nice Chinese mate and i just started to get the feeling as being used as a status symbol, "Look at me, i'm friends with a white guy" while i seen the way he wouldn't even cheers one of the guy's that cooks BBQ street-food.. I really hate other's thinking they're some how better than some people, like as if they're s*** smells better.. anyway, good video guy's and well explained.
Very nice! Loved your Lexus.
Congratulations on your hard work.
But I have a question: what are all those gauges on the dashboard?
I know one if for the turbo boost, but what about the other ones?
In Portugal, if I modified my car that hard, specially with it being so visible, it would not pass the annual certification.
I am talking about a mandatory annual inspection to the all car, including brakes, engine, emissions, safety systems, suspension, etc...
I met a bloke in China and found out that he likes cars. So I showed him a picture of my Fiat Cinquecento modified with a 1.2 Punto engine with increased compression ratio etc. He looked so confused that anyone could like it. Then he showed me his cars, R8, AMG, Gallardo etc.
+Mediocre-Motorcycle-Modifications thats awesome!
Mediocre-Motorcycle-Modifications I thought he'd have a Volga or Zil.
Need more of the footage at the end but without the music :(
Awesome video :-) I love it... MORE Please :-) I grew up with Hot Rods and Muscle cars... I had a '23 Chevy Pick-up and later a '39 Merc Coupe... and a lot more... I went to British and European Sports Cars, Had 2 Austin-Healy - Bug-eyed Sprites that I restored and a couple of Austin-Healy 3000s then to Jags... Had an XKE convertible then, a XKE 2+2 and it goes on from there... In North America, cars are as much of a part of the culture as Apple Pie... Every kid was a back-yard mechanic and if we weren't souping it up, we were customizing it... Sheesh! I loved this video... :-) Keep them coming :-)
What I took away .
0 to 100 in 4s - that is really quick.
C-Milk with that car you would make a good "Dutchman" and that has nothing to do with the Netherlands , it' a South African euphemism that Winston can no doubt explain.
Now two things I disagree with.
China has some of the best roads that are empty for drag racing.
Many built for the future roads that are great and empty.
Then old muscle cars.
Winston , they are crap full stop.
Good to look at but really totally POS to drive.
Friend of mine deals in them so I have driven a few.
Any Golf 4 drives better , brakes 500% better and outperforms any 60's /70's muscle car by a country mile whatever that means.
Okay , you don't look as cool in a Golf but you can always wear a suit to compensate.
Stay awesome and I see nothing wrong with your eyebrows C-Milk.
There isn't really a "car culture" in China. Mostly because China didn't really start proper industrialization until like 1950s, plus the whole communism deal, we were left behind during the post-war surge of car culture around the world. We didn't get to see the thrive of classic American muscles in the 70s, the group-B rally mania in the 80s or the European supercars and Japanese street cars in the 90s. The scrap laws definitely aren't helping - and sadly those laws aren't going away anytime soon, because there're already too bloody many cars in the streets and the air quality is screwed as it is.
So yeah, cars aren't gonna be anything more than household investment or luxury gadget in China for a while. Guess I'm never gonna see a Lancia Stratos or Pontiac GTO rolling down the street of Shanghai....
+Helmstif, the Sarcastic Asianman great insight! thanks!
+laowhy86 btw, dude, that's some serious firepower under the hood :D
yeah, but now i want more :(
+Helmstif, the Sarcastic Asianman Well said!
+Helmstif, the Sarcastic Asianman There was no such thing as private cars before the 1980s, and Chinese car industry started development at the very beginning of 21st century. So there is no classic car culture nor car modification culture untill the recent years. And there is a huge tax on big engine cars, which was considered as more pollution and exaust from the Chinese government.
That is why many luxury brand only import small engined models of their cars into China. This tax rate can reach 140% of the origninal price, which is ridiculus but as I can see the luxury cars costs the wealth people a lot more so it is somehow reasonable. So the international brands need to build their plants inside China instead of Import in order to decrease their prices.
The modification of cars can be done under strict rules and after that you need to register your car to the police office, even if you put only a not so small sticker on your car ( bigger than 22% of the area of surface of car body if I was not wrong). And engine change is not legal no matter how you have done that.
"Illegal to mod cars in china..."
-Here look at my modded altezza LoL
what a life boys. killing it
Your video lacks how to buy and maintain a car in china, can u explain more about the rules in china how to, get your car and number plate? how to change registration name, if you want to sell your car from person to person.
Yearly vehicle safety / emissions inspection?
Thanks Guys
SH is dominated by a much greater percentage of UPscale Audis. BMWs. Cadillac & Mercedes SUVs, than in the US, with a relatively small percentage of Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris - which is not to say the later are absent by any means - just fewer as a percentage. And few if any 'boy racers'. Why should they when they can buy an upscale car stock that will outperform them?...
Watching the parade at the schools where parents wait to pick up their children is like observing a State Department function or Mob funeral given the upscale cars that literally dominate.
Damn Winston must be loaded to be driving a Rentley.
Hi Winston and CMilk, you mentioned that an individual selling a car usually gets nothing for it, cos the dealers will pay pittance and then mark it up in a flip sale. But do you see a rise in individual-to-individual sales? Do you think this article is accurate and reflective of the Chinese car market now? www.scmp.com/news/china/money-wealth/article/1910050/good-steer-why-chinas-second-hand-car-market-booming
you should interview black people in china on their view points & life style.
+antking1117 they lives very well ,i think
many Chinese don't earn high income at all, but they still drive a decent car all because its their "face"面子, I hate those vain people
Arthur J. Maybe in the past, but now everthing is changing..it's quite common to see young people buy bba all by themselves. in beijing, i saw a lot of examples including me.
your personalities go very well together. It's quite entertaining to watch. I can tell you guys have a strong bond.
We Americans have to work hard to protect are car culture.
I heard it used to be quite toxic in the beginning.
...
Car scene 0-gen.
wow it seems you have your is200 deeply modified , including engine swap and gearbox reset, with respect to the used car market in china i believe there has to be some good car with good engine and nice value for instance mazda mx5 or vw golf r, but unfortunately they are not easy to find because the majority of cheap 2nd hand cars are rubbish .
Could I reasonably import a 5-10 year old 4x4 Chevy 1500 pickup truck and drive it there or am I barking up the wrong tree?
In desert climates you can find perfectly preserved examples for reasonable prices, except the shipping. Maybe sneak it into an e-waste container...
Would it even be a good idea to drive such a huge unwieldy vehicle there? Some of the maneuvers you've done seem like they require better brakes than exist in America. I'm gonna completely ignore the fuel cost part of it. Just seems so dang useful and DURABLE! :D
i wish my lexus was that colour! mines the boring dark grey :( and its got the severely restrained 150 bhp 1G-FE 2.0 engine (to meet emissions standards here in the UK) . very well built cars! SUPER RELIABLE they well ahead of their time in terms of styling and engineering and they dont look outdated even to this day even though they were first produced in 1998! if your in the UK you can buy a tidy example for around £1000 or even less and it will put up with all the abuse you throw at it and still work they just dont break :D the premium sound system version is a must even at stock the sound quality is just brilliant .
Jiang Ping: +laowhy86 Dude there's a reason why the CCP makes even old car expensive but cause I got a meeting right now I can't explain it. However in China we aim big and we don't do it landlord style we do it corporate style, if you want to remodel expensive cars and drive them we have a Formula Car Racing Sports Organization here to gain access to it and the benefits,1.) you need to contribute to the industry like be a good mechanic2.) you have to be a businessman deemed necessary by the state3.) you have to be a precious Formula raising driver. We don't allow expensive cars spawning everywhere because of the tendency of normal Chinese to rebel when they see something is wrong in fact party members themselves encourage do encourage scratching cars, this is a good thing because it keeps the CCP be at their best unlike in the US, ....to be continued... Shinzo Abe just arrive for a meeting.
I thought the cars would be Eastern Bloc items like Lada, Skoda, Volga, Moskovich, FSO, ZAZ, OKA, Tatra, Polish Fiat, Zavasta or Dacia. Maybe Zil, Trabant or Watburg too.
I'm from the muscle car era and we had a category that your car reminds me of. It was called a < SLEEPER >. Which is what I drove. A sleeper was a car that look like nothing but could and most of the time would blow the doors off the muscle cars of the day. I enjoyed it very much.
Altezza is not a Lexus is200 (2.0L 153 bhp). Or an is300 (3.0L 215 bhp). Altezza is a 2.0L pushing out 210 bhp best for fuel economy and performance.
Damn. I didn't know you were a car guy. Last summer I went to China, the "car culture" were all diy stuff like self cut hoods and ricey body kits. Fake badging too is hilarious. This guy had a tuned and turboed gt86 with a rocket bunny kit and stuck an Audi s badge on it. This other dude stuck a lambo SV sticker upside down on the side of his Chevy Cruze.
I will give China full credit where credit is due.
I've seen quite the number of examples (proof) that China is well vested in improving their infrastructure. Look at the construction going on everywhere - especially the roads and public transportation system.
Here in america les me start off with a local example. The Pittsburgh region has about one million residents in general, yet... There are at least two million registered vehicles - no joke. The infrastructure is terrible, as is the public transportation system.
The same goes for the rest of america. The infrastructure in america is second rate at best, so bad that it is ranked the worst out of ANY G20 country. Not much has been done with infrastructure in america since the early 1950's, the water system is even worse - that a majority of the water supply system in the entire eastern half of america is about one hundred years old.
When I get there I won't be able to buy or own a car or motorcycle legally, right? So, what options do I have then ? A mountain bike?
you can buy any car you want in china. Basically do you want to buy the car off shore or from another country, then import it, pay the taxers on top and then make sure it applies to all their legislation and rules.... good luck, not impossible but really...good luck
is it easy to find LRG and other "non-supreme" skate stuff in china. Like popular brands that are known beyond the core culture like maybe spitfire or independent?
What is the process of obtaining a Chinese driver's license? Any links? Love your programs!!!
did you buy the IS in China, or the whole thing is imported? Was it tuned in China? Sounds awesome, mate!! Nice IS!
In the USA....that Lexus would be called a 'sleeper'....stock looking with a huge engine.
I like nice cars.Not to show off,but to enjoy!I couldn't live with a corolla or a hyundai!
If anyone wants to mod cars us or canada is the place to do it!
still cheaper. i know a country where u can get a car for 500,000RMB only for 10years.
Reminds me of the chinese students that were in my American college, they all had either non descript cars or gtr's, G wagons or mclarens.
man i really have to appreciate american for allowing all these older japanese cars to be legal, and old muscle cars. everywhere else in the world doesn't seem like like both of these.
More videos like this please!! I really like it! Good job on the camera man, got the action very well!
I should try to bring some GTOs and some firebirds to china that would be fun.
Its the same status symbol cars & shitty neighbourhood thingy going on in korea from what Ive heard
2015, back when Winston had non-formal clothes in the wardrobe
C-5WL83 >> 8+3 = 11 or K so It's C-MLK. Damn!
Cmilk's car is awesome!!!
Complete opposite of Japan. You can get so many great used cars for cheap.
Wait...then if you want repairs to your car it's gotta be freakin expensive since you can only have a car for 12 years, yes? And I assume you can't just go to some mechanic in town to get it fixed? You have to go to the manufacturer?
Also, since there's not really a presence of car culture in China how do you explain car models? Are they just for the super cars? I'm getting to know this one girl from Hunan who says she's a car model :)
+Gerardo Garza García (匡瑞) That was the law before. Now, you just have to get your car checked 2 times per year if it is over 12 years old.
There are car models. I dated one actually. But she worked for BMW. So they will have hot girls draped over luxury cars and the like. Supercars for sure.
i don't believe people see cars as investments, just to show off or pretend to be wealthy
I got a heavy clutch on my car, too, and even the mechanic when driving it into the garage, having had all kinds of cars there, said it's unusually heavy. I suspect the engine might have been a spare from a racing team, with an aftermarket clutch pre-fitted. I actually like it, because it feels more direct. I like precise and sensitive inputs, and a mushy friction point is awful. And while it takes more force to operate, it never felt tedious to me.
Sweet car. I love tuner vehicles and the whole culture. It is sad you can't enjoy it as much in China. That's all we wasted our money on in college was our cars. So much fun.
I got some car questions for you guys.
What's the driver training like in China? How hard is it to get a license? For example, it's challenging to get licensed in Japan or Germany because the training standards and requirements are so high and the test is actually difficult. In the US, it's pretty easy, just pass the simple test and drive around the block.
In the US for the most part laws are well respected and followed. When I went to southern Greece it was more like a free for all and everyone did whatever they wanted (like 4 across on a 2 lane road, passing on blind corners, etc. Crazy stuff). From your videos it seems people drive slow and stupid so I was wondering about their training, and also the general populations inclination to follow road rules.
Also, how are the traffic cops. Traffic enforcement varies wildly based on country from my experience. Here in the US the traffic cops are no joke and drive powerful police cars (lots of speed raps, enforcement, patrols). In Greece they were a joke, sat in little shacks waiting around with 50cc police scooters, and I never saw them chase or ticket anyone (that's why everyone drove crazy).
+HandgripsRaise Thanks man!
To answer your questions:
Driver training is really easy, but for most people in China, they will sign up for 3 months of training for about 1000$US and sit through boring driving in 80's VW Jettas, slowly. For the rest of us that know how to drive, we need to go sit an exam of 100 questions taken from a pool of 1000 questions. Many of the questions are nonsensical, though the English exam has gotten easier to decipher over the years. After that, there is a driving test. It is fairly easy. I'd say the written test is much harder than the practical, although there are some reallllly stupid rules during the drivers test (depending on your instructor) like always pulling the e-brake at a stop light.
Traffic cops 90% of the time do ABSOLUTELY nothing. However, if there are leaders or government officials in town for a visit, you can guarantee they will be out in huge force with their white hats and white gloves. At this time they will make road blocks and stops to check cars and bikes for legality. You will see a lot of vehicles being towed away at this time. I've never seen a Chinese police car, or bike chase. We don't do chases here. Speed cameras on the other hand... man... the bane of our existence.
Used cars market is much better now, since car is way affordable than before
C-Milk, which American car is most popular in China?
Why don't I see any Jeeps or Trucks like we have here in TX?
you 2 needs to setup your business as partnership as a tourist tents in some non developing county
Nice car dude.. Stay awesome
I'm guessing that there's probably not a lot of Supras, Skylines, or Silvias in China then, eh? Considering the 12 year rule and the fact that car mods are illegal(don't see too many people leaving their Supra, Skyline, or S15 in stock form, lol).
+Corey Burton the rule changed now, if your car could pass the check, it could be used constantly
What about the hyundai with the 4g63 can you find it there
Just out of curiosity, what's up with the name Churchill Customs? Love all your videos from your respective channels, by the way.
Churchill is Winston's last name (the guy on the left)
Im surprised their even allowed to have a car culture
Definitely not a Nissan Sunny with gear shit on steering column. LOL Taxis in Beijing use to be Peugot sedans in mid 80s.
Cscratchy I assumed that they'd be Lada, Volga or Moskovich.
You should have blurred you license number...
I only like pre computer automobiles.
Paintless dent removal will sort that car nicely.
i'm sorry but that Rilch m1 is one ugly ass car
Car culture in China: laowhy86
hope you got rid of that audio recording device yeesh
How do you get performance parts if modifications are illegal? Do you have a local store or do you have to buy exclusively online?
+omega162 There is some way to modicate the car under rules.
This was 7 years ago.. so now rent must be insane
You guys can star second hand car business, you guys can buy the second hand car from American which is very cheap and sell it to china.
I was going to do that when i arrived here, the import tax is insane and as you've just heard, they scrap older cars, you'd have to be deeply connected within the Chinese Gov't to get away with it.
Do you still produce car content? Do you plan to?
was the lexus later stolen, or a different car?
I Think here in the usa they may not want to show the money you have for crime. So a question does there seem to be more crime or kidnapping of the rich?
+Michael S no idea. there definitely is crime, but my city is fairly safe.
what's the law on bike engined cars ?
When I saw this video I was wondering.. do you really want to tune Chinese cars? I am kinda worried about China buying Jeep.. the Buick Acclaim didn't go over very well here.. if they ruin Jeep I'll be kinda ticked off.. Although it might be a good thing since they'll most likely do some more retro designs.. I'd love to see them bring back the eagle and become a Subaru competitor
go get a CF hood for that lexus.....geez
if you guys are now doing cars also you should tell us how shit the chinese copy of other makes are. copys of toyota mercs jaguars bmw,,,, even rolls royce. and how the hell they get away with the copy rights.
+userwl2850 yeah, we should do a Chinese car review series. The thing is, they are ALL shit
+userwl2850 the model of Land Rover be copied much , people really love it, others seems no, and now the china brand car produce a lot unique models . they are improving. The best selling car model on the market now is a china local brand SUV car.
+Will Zhao type in "china land of the fakes"
+userwl2850 you seems a little old fashion ,china i think more than the land of fakes, a lot innovation happens, also the electric car industry develop quite well, if you interested pls check out. also china is the paradise of the car maker you said.
+Will Zhao i love china and it's people. my wife is from chengdu. my work is to cut steel. 10 years ago alot of cutting tool came to england and they were very poor but now almost as good as ours. i also believe china will put man back on the moon before NASSA maybe even mars.
Nice Altezza..Used classic JDMs are hard to come by in China..for 2JZ parts and most JDM engine parts better luck in finding them in Hongkong or Taiwan where the JDM/tuner scene is more popular
I'm a long time watcher and this is the video that brought me to your channels as I'm a passionate car enthusiast who's going to get into motorcycling now since living in Asia, watching your adv videos and renting scooters. Thanks for the great videos.
60000RMB for Sh$t??? But in your other vid laowhy86 your buddy picked up that VW for like 700 usd right? So how could he get that car cheap? BTW how much are the IS200 and IS 300s going for over there? I always liked them since they are RWD and basically a 4 door supra that can have all the supra stuff swapped on the motor.
I don't think that car can be legally registered. that why its cheap.
+Taipei Ryan i paid 180,000 with 1jz vvt engine swap
