Why Drifters Love Ebisu and Miss The Old Minami
Whether you know about drifting or not, Ebisu Circuit in Nihonmatsu, Japan, is the ultimate mecca for going sideways.
Comprising North Course, School Course, and Nishi (long and short) drift tracks, two skidpans dubbed Kurukuru Land 1 and 2, a race track called Higashi, and an epic Touge modelled on the traditional Japanese mountain pass, it's no wonder Ebisu Circuit is THE PLACE to go for drifters.
But what drifters from around the world miss the most, is the original D1 Grand Prix icon, Minami - with its famous and infamous jump...

    It's so funny that the Ford Escort has such a different reputation in the rest of the world. In the United States, it is an underpowered, cheap, absolute trashcar. So unfortunate for us that we've largely missed out on the hot hatch eras of the 80's and 90's.

    So good! Hugh's passion for cars (and most things in his life, it seems) is great, and I could listen to you both talk for days. Josh posted in a skateboard forum we both used to frequent that his brother had bought a 911 and it wasn't until maybe 15 years later that all the dots were connected! I agree with the comment about the sale of the 996 GT3RS, that is THE DREAM car and it was great to see Hugh enjoy it as it should be.

    • @DaveZalstein
      @DaveZalstein 3 місяці тому

      Hi @SuperShotgun300, glad you liked the vid. When it comes to GC8s, it very much depends on what you're after, why you're buying one, and what you want to do with it. If you're looking for an investment-type purchase, the rarer variants and special editions or early '94 cars are probably the go. But if you're just hunting for an occasional road or track car, you can afford to be a little less picky and that'll help widen the web a little. For me, drive what you can, see if you bond with it, and whatever needs fixing can probably get sorted for the right price. Best of luck and let me know how you get on. Cheers :D

    Lovely car mate. I just picked up a gc8 wrx wagon. What brand and style of exhaust are you running? Sounds great

      Cheers @MrMechanic45, not sure where you're located but this was a custom exhaust made up by the legends at Dandy Exhaust here in Melbourne. Enjoy your new car and have a ball driving it :D

      So many good turbo and supercharger kits for these engines these days, people are spoiled for choice. I'm weird though and I like the engine (mostly) as is. Also the new 2.4-litre in the GR86 and new BRZ is waaaaaay better again. Cheers.

      Non-STI. In Australia we didn't get GTs, Imprezas came in LX, GX, RX, and WRX. Cheers.

    Great review of the best golf in my opinion I always wanted one in my early 20s I bought a 2006 model black manual in 2022 and bringing it back to its showroom shine Absolutely love it so unique and sounds unreal for a practical hatch back. Great video thank you
