Great vid quality. Need a better host, he's so campy/dorky. Love this all though. Even the Kaido stuff. Its old school car tuning culture. I wouldnt call it dumb, just how they used to mod to stand out back in the day, Bosozoku style! There's a bunch of people that still do this today.

This Kaido stuff is ridiculous though. Those old race cars had functional bodywork that actually served a purpose. The stuff on those street cars on the other hand probably saps power (giant exhaust pipes) and completely ruins any sense of handling. Here I was thinking the idiots in front wheel drive Civics with huge rear spoilers driving around here are dumb . . . guess it could be worse.
Excellent segment... but I wished more time was spent to see more of the details and specifications for each of the modifications. For example, in the last portion of the program, mention the number of speakers, amplifiers, and total wattage used. Things like that.
Otherwise, keep up the good work.
Being brand new to Translogic,I went to the first episode,then watched them all in order. After episode 3.4 it skips to episode 4.1 and Caitlin Thompsom was no longer on the show. What happened to her as I thought she added a bit of flair to the show.

I'm not sure how much the add-ons are legal here but there would be a market if gas was a high as it is there. Leave it to the Japanese to make something cool out of an old Toyota.
