Should I Trade my S15 for This

**A Dandelion Evo 5 from Australia: A Car with a Rich History**

As I stand here in front of my yellow Evo 5, I'm filled with a sense of nostalgia and gratitude. This car has been on an incredible journey, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to acquire it and bring it back to life. The story of how I got this car is one that I love sharing, as it involves a combination of chance encounters and careful planning.

The Evo 5 in question was originally owned by someone named Luke Fing, who has been kind enough to store the car for many years despite going through various changes in his life. My friend Jason from Keep It Real (KIR) helped me with transport, allowing me to enjoy this beautiful piece of Japanese automotive history before it left Australia.

**A Car with a History**

Looking at the Evo 5 now, I'm struck by its faded condition. The Australian sun has taken its toll on the paint and clear coat, leaving them looking dull and worn. However, as an enthusiast who loves to work on cars, I couldn't resist the opportunity to take a closer look.

I decided to test out my trusty Grio hybrid micro polisher on a small spot to see if the paint could be revived. And what happened next was nothing short of astonishing! The clear coat had oxidized from exposure to the sun, but with some careful polishing and buffing, I was able to restore its original luster. This was an incredible experience, and one that left me wondering how I ever thought this car wouldn't get a full respray.

**A Touch-up vs. Respray**

As I worked on my little test spot, I realized that the paint job wasn't as far gone as I initially thought. However, it's clear that the entire car would benefit from some level of correction and detailing. Unfortunately, this means that the car may need a full respray in order to look its best. While this is disappointing news, I'm also excited about the prospect of taking on this challenge.

**Shipping and Damage**

During shipping, unfortunately, the Evo 5 was damaged – specifically, the left side panel sustained some damage, which I'm still trying to determine how to fix. Despite this setback, my enthusiasm for the car remains undiminished. This is a beautiful piece of automotive history that I'm honored to have in my collection.

**Guitar Rehearsals and Future Plans**

As an aside, my guitar playing has been taking up more time lately. I've been trying to get into the swing of things with my Adam LZ guitar, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be! Despite this, I'm excited about the prospect of performing at future events and sharing my music with fellow enthusiasts.

**The Orange S15: A Long-term Project**

While I won't reveal too much just yet, I can say that there are plans in motion to restore my trusty Orange S15. The goal is to have it running smoothly by the time we get to FD Orlando, but for now, that's a long way off.

**FD Orlando Speed World: A Dream Come True**

One of my most anticipated events this year is the return to FD Orlando Speed World in my E36. I've never had the chance to drive on the famous bank at Clutch Kickers Bank track before, and I'm excited to experience it firsthand. With my little nitrous system at the ready, I know that we'll be putting on a show.

**The End of an Era**

As I stand here with my Evo 5, I'm filled with a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. This car has been on an incredible journey, and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to play a part in its story. Until next time, farewell!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entwo very exciting things happening in this video one is you guys are going to get to see the Spec R push to its limits around the compound to see what lap time it does and how it stacked UPS against the Spec s and you guys are going to get to see the new color for the S15 we are building I'll tell you right now I a sucker for OEM colors this time we took an oem color from a newer Nissan specifically the R35 GTR I love the green S15 I feel like the pearls and the metallics really pull out all the body lines that the S15 has so the r35's Blaze metallic orange seemed like a cool fit Ray and Josh have been absolutely killing the paint and body work process on this build and we've been capturing it for you guys to see enjoy you um so yeah it's been a lot of work as trying to go this to Orlando um for FB which is tomorrow yes yeah we've been uh that's where we're at right now so still need a lot more work to do but it's kind of a car yeah yeah yeah we're getting all the pieces together so hopefully tomorrow morning we assemble everything yeah it looks awesome dude really good job thank you dude the contrast of the orange to the black looks insane yeah like man that looks so good it's a shame that like you can't see it when the wheels are on the car but dude this is so good I kind of want to give away the green one I think the Orange is a little more my style God color is sick you have wet yet either have you dude right out of the that's pretty crazy did you do something differently we've been using the uh anti-static gun does it help a lot yeah it helps a lot to keep some of that dust off of it uh it just makes it so it's not static uh so nothing sticks to it uh we did have a little bit of dirt on the other uh corner window just cuz like we didn't remove it so it's just kind of a hit or miss sometimes but that'll wet 10 outs you this is insane it has so much depth to it I know I'm excited to see it in the sunlight yeah it pops this video that you guys are watching is sponsored by better help and they are one of our key partners that help make all the crazy stuff that we do possible in my life running a business and also being a professional driver and on top of that being someone who's heavily involved in social media you can imagine that mental health is as important as ever to me but no matter what you guys do what

home I want to give a massive thank you to betterhelp for sponsoring this video and I look forward to hearing you guys success stories of working with them in the video where we revealed the Spec s that is now our giveaway car I wanted to do a lap with this to be able to compare the time of a Spec R around the compound with a Spec s but it downpours we didn't get to now the sad but exciting truth of what is about to happen is this is the first and the last time I will drive this car for a while it sucks that I'm basically pulling the drivetrain out of this car that I've waited 2 years for but it's also a good thing because that's going to kind of push me to build the car faster so once this comes out we'll tear this engine bay down this engine bay will get painted and then this car is going to get my vvl SR20 that I've been sitting on for mzworks forever I got that engine originally intended to put it in the Shell that I wound up selling to Jimmy but the engine wound up being finished after I'd already sold the car so it's been waiting for this and I'm really excited the SR20 being one of my favorite engines in the world this is like the ultimate edition most badass version of any SR20 you can do and it's going to go in this car so we'll enjoy it with this setup and then we're going to pull it out because we know this is a good working setup refresh it put it in the giveaway car but let's see what it can do first what's banana I got banana on my chin go away banana got my Heatwave vices on we're ready to have some fun ice cold AC let's go Spec R yellow S15 some say it's faster when it's yellow I say it's mellow when it's jell hello all right she seems a little lazy old turbo how will it feel the world may never know you guys will though all right o the tires don't have a lot of grip car is decently fast though kind of py it definitely feels stickier than the Spec s that's for sure oh there's a tool hanging around in the trunk open diff or the diff just opened a little bit I don't need to down shift to first so that's a huge win oh that was not expected it's nice not having a downshift into um first gear there or up shift to third I mean overall felt like a pretty good lap that diff opening up though was kind of annoying but carrying a lot more speed a lot more power throttle uh I wonder what that is sliding around in the trunk I should probably figure that out sounds like a spare tool very rich it's Rich yeah you know what that means it's probably I a boost leak really yeah yeah MAF car dude when you have a boost leak on a MAF car it means that it thinks that it's getting more air than it is so it adds more fuel than it should right it's like black smoke yeah yeah it's kind of a pain to boost Le test I mean if it if it's Rich it's probably not that bad the tires are going to be the limiting factor more than the power so yeah it looks cool yeah feels good all right new challenge while I do my fastest lap I also need to Freestyle wrap 3 2 1 all right let's go you already know chilling in a yellow S15 oh ho ho ho ho I'm Santa Claus catch me pulling up in your hood Breaking All the laws I got no cause I'm full of drawers and in my drawers I got drawers and socks and lots of rocks you can't catch me and I can't stop good news is my brakes are big and my pants are small catch me pulling up to your world with all my friends till the end of Eternity uh pregnant girl call eternity whoa that's really really hard to try to do that while focusing on driving but it's a good challenge keeps things exciting let the record hold I don't think that's a great rap that was more of a a poetry slam if you will all right three two 1 let's go pull it up in an S15 y'all know oh that was a little boggy kind of little a little bit slow catch me doing my fast lap with a crap wrap pulling up with a trash bag full of bad sad decisions pulling up with my instruments like Precision you should listen while I'm drifting catch me going third year shifting it's not necessary and back to two coming around the corner what am I going to do the tires are getting greasy oh no oh no Santa Claus is coming ho ho ho Watch Me Go real fast real slow and that La time was not the best I think not it's pretty challenging to try to do that while I'm driving but it's a it's a new fun thing for me I think 3 2 1 let's go hopefully this lap is fast and not slow uh the turbo felt like it bogged a little pulling up uh my dog went p on my rug shoulder shrug it's got a yellow spot now man what the you know I just bleeped out the swear word by saying nothing you pulling up to the compound you better not be fronting I'm drifting around tree you see me always stunting putting tires in the drops I can't stop you see me I got Bops my wraps clean my whips mean see me pulling up with a smile like Charlie Sheen calling two and 1 half stepdad Step Brothers catch me pulling up getting reactions from your mother bars as I under steer into the side of Mars even if that wasn't the fastest lap we taking it cuz I just tried to Freestyle while I was driving and I think it actually came out half decent and I don't want to do do it again cuz it's not going to be that good okay Slim Shady they call me Lightning yellow fellow okay that's my new rap name catch me on Soundcloud I'm a YouTuber of course I'm going to drift the car I don't think the Boost leaks are helping this thing but I'll admit I think it was almost more fun to slide the Spec s than it was the specr really yeah dude the Spec s was like a handful and I was really working it this one was uh it's kind of weirdly laggy I want to I want to smoke test it before we pull the engine but we didn't have time to do it before the lap either way I got to have some fun probably will be one of the only times I drift it cuz when we're done with it this is going to be like a show car I'll probably still drift it who am I kidding surprisingly it barely beat the Spec s so if you're on the fence about buying a Spec R or a Spec s and you have a compound where you're looking to set quick lap times it might not be worth the extra spend for the Spec s because the Spec R came in at a 3339 not even a tenth of a second faster so obviously as we've learned TIR is probably the biggest determining factor of whether it car is faster or not around here cuz if it's loose it ain't fast and um all the top cars up here had pretty sticky tires so in the perfect world we would have put the same tires on both cars but we're YouTubers what do you expect all right so we've actually got two sets of Wheels we're going to do a quick unboxing on one is for my personal S15 and one is for the giveaway orange S15 both wheels are pretty spicy I'm let you guys guess which are for which at first and then I'll tell you also at this point this is a great time for me to subtly remind you to hit that little thumbs up button on the video I know you hate when I ask it but I hate when I forget to ask it all right check what we got I want to give a shout out to threepiece us on these as well they made it very easy they sent me all the specs that were in stock and gave me pretty good deal on these this is none other than a workmeister I kind of like the black Hardware yeah that's actually pretty cool at first I wanted to do gold so essentially I wanted the same wheels that I used to run on my green S15 and that I've also had on my cream s13 this is just a little bit less aggressive Spec stock body s15s I was a little bit overzealous I was hoping I fit 10 and 1 halfs 9 and 1 half is the way to go so this is a 9 1/2 22 squared allaround and then we have these ones that actually got used in Japan these are a set of SSR SP 1s which ironically look extremely similar to the Meister both Wheels uh I think I like Meers look a little bit better but ssr's still cool the reason why I got these they're actually really cheap they're still in really good shape and they're pretty high offset so this is actually a 10 plus yoikes this is actually a 10 plus 40 so this is a little bit more stancy and this will go on the giveaway orange S15 because that car it's probably only make like 400 horsepower whereas my vvl Sr is probably going to be making like 600 so I'm hoping with a 10 plus 40 I'll be able to fit a bigger tire instead of like a 225 or 235 like a 250 5 or 265 still under stock fenders because I'm not going to widebody that thing so not crazy about the face but we can always change that pretty cool that's engraved and everything um but uh yeah we'll mock these up see how they're going to look the idea was um to kind of go with a little bit of a cream cool dream you know I think they'll look good yeah see what we're working with oh yeah is it going to work oh yeah and the black Hardware on it's really cool too the fitment is perfect really yeah I think once the the wheel goes in oh yeah dang this thing is going to look so cool this is I know I I say this every time but I think the signal green f80 was really good but this car I think is going to be I don't say the most built car we've ever done but the most car I would really want to keep sounds strange it's basically going to be a nicer version of my green S15 street car stock body yeah you guys are going to have to pry this giveaway out of this guy's hands I did I did think about that so ethically I think it's bad but this is one of the those cars where like if someone W it I would really want to persuade them to take the cash instead of the car yeah so I could keep it but then it would it would always be like I was that that weird guy that kept the giveaway car yeah you know and I don't want to do that so maybe I should make it less nice I haven't even shown the interior yet you guys will see it at FD Orlando this is what happens when I have mental space to think about a build and actually like try to make it really cool it's going to be really good one of the convenient things about building S15 is I have plentiful spares especially when it comes to tail lights from this car over here these are not OE Tails which is weird because I feel like I would only like OE Tails but the red clear dmax Tails my favorite on s15s I feel like this is almost like what a stock S15 should look like to me yeah man I cannot wait to show the material Ary wants to put a teaser on the screen but I want to like show it all together at once yeah um but you guys will see it at FD I feel like need to mention this you guys have seen it in the background I think this might be one of the oldest cars that I've bought and waited to ship over uh this is my yellow evo5 from Australia I want to give a massive thank you to Luke fing for storing this car for many years through all the changes he's had in life and to Jason from keep it re for organizing transport and helping me enjoy it for one last time in Australia during the last LZ World Tour stop what the plans are for this car originally was just to kind of enjoy unfortunately looking at it now I'm uh I'm a stickler for paint and it looks like the Australian Sun probably did a number on this thing the hood looks very faded basically all the panels up onto even the roof look crazy faded I don't know if it's the clear I don't know if it's the paint maybe it's the clear that's a technique right yeah kind of kind of cuz it looks a little bit better when you do that yeah that was kind of gross I probably shouldn't have done that I'm going to do what I like to do when I get a car it's not the best thing to do cuz you should really C a whole car I grab my little Grio hybrid micro polisher I hit a spot and I see okay is the paint going to come back or doesn't need a respray and I really hope this car doesn't need a respray I knew that it needed a touch up here and I knew that down here was not Blended well but will the whole car need a respray I'll be very sad if so but it's still a dandelion Evo which makes me happy I should really be clay baring the car and I should be like correcting the whole thing so this is just non ideal test spot bro yeah I've never seen that before it's like the it's like the top layer of the clear oxidize from the Australian Sun it I mean it makes sense to me that's this is going to be the most incredible paint correction I've never done holy guacamole that's insane yeah dude look take a step back and look at the difference oh I know well I turned the iso down on the camera you can see it clear as day wow my goodness yeah that's pretty wild I'm going to say now this car will actually be pretty Min it looks like in shipping this got a little damaged here I don't know how I'm going to necessarily fix that that's a little oh a little sad but other than that oh I just want to see this is this is I did this with one of my FC's because I was like is the paint going to come back and it started coming back and I was just like oo I want to do the whole thing yeah but then I realized I don't have time for anything except I've been making time for guitar lately we trying to we'll uh we'll see if we can do an Adam LZ guitar reveal in a couple months once I get a little bit better I'm still trying to figure out how to play Iron Man I'm almost there I'm like you know like the that's where I'm at right now okay yeah I haven't figured the you're getting there you're getting I got the first three notes um dude that makes me so much happier I've been so sad staring at this car yeah that's that's a pretty crazy difference that's incredible happy Adam very happy very sad that I uh been struggling finding some packages I'm been trying to get some stuff done on the orange S15 today's not been been the day with some packages yeah we we'll get together but unfortunately I don't think in this video you guys are going to see it on the ground on the wheels like I really wanted to um but it still looks pretty incredible on the left it does we got a long night ahead of us getting that S15 back together and making it look like a complete car originally the goal was to have it running uh for FD Orlando or at least have an engine in it but see as we didn't pull the engine from the yellow car yet that's not going to happen but you'll still get to see kind of what it's going to look like in final form which I'm super excited about but not as excited as I am to rip FD Orlando Speed World in my E36 I don't think I've ever driven that bank with E36 but I've driven it at the clutch kickers Bank track over at the freedom Factory was super fun so I'm looking forward to a good weekend we're going to put on a show I stoked I got my little nitrous now and uh I hope you guys are excited and I'll see some of you there thank youtwo very exciting things happening in this video one is you guys are going to get to see the Spec R push to its limits around the compound to see what lap time it does and how it stacked UPS against the Spec s and you guys are going to get to see the new color for the S15 we are building I'll tell you right now I a sucker for OEM colors this time we took an oem color from a newer Nissan specifically the R35 GTR I love the green S15 I feel like the pearls and the metallics really pull out all the body lines that the S15 has so the r35's Blaze metallic orange seemed like a cool fit Ray and Josh have been absolutely killing the paint and body work process on this build and we've been capturing it for you guys to see enjoy you um so yeah it's been a lot of work as trying to go this to Orlando um for FB which is tomorrow yes yeah we've been uh that's where we're at right now so still need a lot more work to do but it's kind of a car yeah yeah yeah we're getting all the pieces together so hopefully tomorrow morning we assemble everything yeah it looks awesome dude really good job thank you dude the contrast of the orange to the black looks insane yeah like man that looks so good it's a shame that like you can't see it when the wheels are on the car but dude this is so good I kind of want to give away the green one I think the Orange is a little more my style God color is sick you have wet

with it this is going to be like a show car I'll probably still drift it who am I kidding surprisingly it barely beat the Spec s so if you're on the fence about buying a Spec R or a Spec s and you have a compound where you're looking to set quick lap times it might not be worth the extra spend for the Spec s because the Spec R came in at a 3339 not even a tenth of a second faster so obviously as we've learned TIR is probably the biggest determining factor of whether it car is faster or not around here cuz if it's loose it ain't fast and um all the top cars up here had pretty sticky tires so in the perfect world we would have put the same tires on both cars but we're YouTubers what do you expect all right so we've actually got two sets of Wheels we're going to do a quick unboxing on one is for my personal S15 and one is for the giveaway orange S15 both wheels are pretty spicy I'm let you guys guess which are for which at first and then I'll tell you also at this point this is a great time for me to subtly remind you to hit that little thumbs up button on the video I know you hate when I ask it but I hate when I forget to ask it all right check what we got I want to give a shout out to threepiece us on these as well they made it very easy they sent me all the specs that were in stock and gave me pretty good deal on these this is none other than a workmeister I kind of like the black Hardware yeah that's actually pretty cool at first I wanted to do gold so essentially I wanted the same wheels that I used to run on my green S15 and that I've also had on my cream s13 this is just a little bit less aggressive Spec stock body s15s I was a little bit overzealous I was hoping I fit 10 and 1 halfs 9 and 1 half is the way to go so this is a 9 1/2 22 squared allaround and then we have these ones that actually got used in Japan these are a set of SSR SP 1s which ironically look extremely similar to the Meister both Wheels uh I think I like Meers look a little bit better but ssr's still cool the reason why I got these they're actually really cheap they're still in really good shape and they're pretty high offset so this is actually a 10 plus yoikes this is actually a 10 plus 40 so this is a little bit more stancy and this will go on the giveaway orange S15 because that car it's probably only make like 400 horsepower whereas my vvl Sr is probably going to be making like 600 so I'm hoping with a 10 plus 40 I'll be able to fit a bigger tire instead of like a 225 or 235 like a 250 5 or 265 still under stock fenders because I'm not going to widebody that thing so not crazy about the face but we can always change that pretty cool that's engraved and everything um but uh yeah we'll mock these up see how they're going to look the idea was um to kind of go with a little bit of a cream cool dream you know I think they'll look good yeah see what we're working with oh yeah is it going to work oh yeah and the black Hardware on it's really cool too the fitment is perfect really yeah I think once the the wheel goes in oh yeah dang this thing is going to look so cool this is I know I I say this every time but I think the signal green f80 was really good but this car I think is going to be I don't say the most built car we've ever done but the most car I would really want to keep sounds strange it's basically going to be a nicer version of my green S15 street car stock body yeah you guys are going to have to pry this giveaway out of this guy's hands I did I did think about that so ethically I think it's bad but this is one of the those cars where like if someone W it I would really want to persuade them to take the cash instead of the car yeah so I could keep it but then it would it would always be like I was that that weird guy that kept the giveaway car yeah you know and I don't want to do that so maybe I should make it less nice I haven't even shown the interior yet you guys will see it at FD Orlando this is what happens when I have mental space to think about a build and actually like try to make it really cool it's going to be really good one of the convenient things about building S15 is I have plentiful spares especially when it comes to tail lights from this car over here these are not OE Tails which is weird because I feel like I would only like OE Tails but the red clear dmax Tails my favorite on s15s I feel like this is almost like what a stock S15 should look like to me yeah man I cannot wait to show the material Ary wants to put a teaser on the screen but I want to like show it all together at once yeah um but you guys will see it at FD I feel like need to mention this you guys have seen it in the background I think this might be one of the oldest cars that I've bought and waited to ship over uh this is my yellow evo5 from Australia I want to give a massive thank you to Luke fing for storing this car for many years through all the changes he's had in life and to Jason from keep it re for organizing transport and helping me enjoy it for one last time in Australia during the last LZ World Tour stop what the plans are for this car originally was just to kind of enjoy unfortunately looking at it now I'm uh I'm a stickler for paint and it looks like the Australian Sun probably did a number on this thing the hood looks very faded basically all the panels up onto even the roof look crazy faded I don't know if it's the clear I don't know if it's the paint maybe it's the clear that's a technique right yeah kind of kind of cuz it looks a little bit better when you do that yeah that was kind of gross I probably shouldn't have done that I'm going to do what I like to do when I get a car it's not the best thing to do cuz you should really C a whole car I grab my little Grio hybrid micro polisher I hit a spot and I see okay is the paint going to come back or doesn't need a respray and I really hope this car doesn't need a respray I knew that it needed a touch up here and I knew that down here was not Blended well but will the whole car need a respray I'll be very sad if so but it's still a dandelion Evo which makes me happy I should really be clay baring the car and I should be like correcting the whole thing so this is just non ideal test spot bro yeah I've never seen that before it's like the it's like the top layer of the clear oxidize from the Australian Sun it I mean it makes sense to me that's this is going to be the most incredible paint correction I've never done holy guacamole that's insane yeah dude look take a step back and look at the difference oh I know well I turned the iso down on the camera you can see it clear as day wow my goodness yeah that's pretty wild I'm going to say now this car will actually be pretty Min it looks like in shipping this got a little damaged here I don't know how I'm going to necessarily fix that that's a little oh a little sad but other than that oh I just want to see this is this is I did this with one of my FC's because I was like is the paint going to come back and it started coming back and I was just like oo I want to do the whole thing yeah but then I realized I don't have time for anything except I've been making time for guitar lately we trying to we'll uh we'll see if we can do an Adam LZ guitar reveal in a couple months once I get a little bit better I'm still trying to figure out how to play Iron Man I'm almost there I'm like you know like the that's where I'm at right now okay yeah I haven't figured the you're getting there you're getting I got the first three notes um dude that makes me so much happier I've been so sad staring at this car yeah that's that's a pretty crazy difference that's incredible happy Adam very happy very sad that I uh been struggling finding some packages I'm been trying to get some stuff done on the orange S15 today's not been been the day with some packages yeah we we'll get together but unfortunately I don't think in this video you guys are going to see it on the ground on the wheels like I really wanted to um but it still looks pretty incredible on the left it does we got a long night ahead of us getting that S15 back together and making it look like a complete car originally the goal was to have it running uh for FD Orlando or at least have an engine in it but see as we didn't pull the engine from the yellow car yet that's not going to happen but you'll still get to see kind of what it's going to look like in final form which I'm super excited about but not as excited as I am to rip FD Orlando Speed World in my E36 I don't think I've ever driven that bank with E36 but I've driven it at the clutch kickers Bank track over at the freedom Factory was super fun so I'm looking forward to a good weekend we're going to put on a show I stoked I got my little nitrous now and uh I hope you guys are excited and I'll see some of you there thank you\n"
