I bought the DVD of series two the other day (we don't have C4) and yes, its a pretty damn good series. Only covers the build of Rosie the rotor KE30 though, not Initial X which is what I was hoping for, but that was cool to watch anyway. Also has some great coverage of events and some real class (heh) vehicles featured. Good buy at $25 too :D

is just a rust bucket and auto AE85.. they did a good job saving one! I'll sure many will forgive them about chopping the wirewall etc.
at the end, they did a bloody good job i think... actually firewall not needed to be cut to fit it.. oh well..

Yea I agree, also actually showing some cars driving would be good rather than just looking at the shiney bits, and asking "how much boost you running bro?"

Atleast theyre trying... Its better than not having Import X. I know it isnt the most technical of car shows but its catering more for the people that dont know dick squat about cars. Give em a break!!

So sorry for voicing different opinions.. At least they could of got some technical minded people that know what they talking about instead of "it's got a big turbo, shiney intercooler pipe's" etc etc..

I didnt mean to come off hard but yea its better than nothing. I guess they couldve gotten some more car orientated presenters.

Are there any car shows you actually like EVL GSXR?

It's not the most informed of programs but at least it's something.


Those two are pretty stoopid though.

Yeah Ridez on Sky isn't to bad and American Hot Rods pretty good not really a Hot Rod fan but the build process from start to finish is pretty kool.. More into the dvd's and stuff from Japan/USA they tend to give you a good view into the technical side aswell as Car Show's etc etc..
