In a thrilling return to Malaysia after a decade, Larry Chen delves into the country's vibrant car culture, spotlighting the love for JDM cars and a rare historic JDM gem brought in by a passionate boss. The process of acquiring such a legendary vehicle involves intricate networking and strategic maneuvers, a far cry from a simple phone call. This pristine piece of automotive history, straight from Japan and featured in iconic Hot Version videos, now roams the Malaysian streets in its original untouched state, a true relic of the past.
The team's showroom boasts an impressive lineup, including a top-secret Smoky Nagata special, an R35 Nismo, and a rare GRMN, each with its own fascinating backstory. Delving into Malaysia's unique car import regulations, the discussion touches on the intriguing 5-year restriction, shedding light on the complexities of bringing in coveted vehicles. Among the standout collection is a right-hand drive Mustang Eleanor replica, meticulously crafted and personally signed by none other than the legendary Carol Shelby, a true testament to automotive craftsmanship.
As Larry takes the wheel of the historic JDM car for a spin with a friend, the nostalgia of watching it tear up the roads in Hot Version videos comes rushing back, amplified by the sheer joy of experiencing it firsthand outside the borders of Japan. The showroom's ambiance exudes a sense of reverence for automotive excellence, with each vehicle carefully curated to tell a unique story. From locally built specials to upcoming Malaysian RWB builds, the passion for cars reigns supreme, creating a haven for enthusiasts and collectors alike in the heart of Malaysia's bustling car scene.
