In this Larry Chen video, we dive into the world of the Tokyo R long car, a machine with a Fighter 1 front lip designed to conquer Scuba in under 59 seconds. Weighing in at 1,200 kilos, this street car is no slouch on the track, boasting a unique design inspired by the iconic Skyline. The owner's meticulous tuning of the 3.2 L Series engine, complete with a custom cooling fan system, sets this car apart in the performance scene. The attention to detail is evident, with every engine component meticulously developed and available for sale post-testing.

As Larry explores the owner's workshop, we catch a glimpse of the thriving classic car market, where prices are soaring for these once overlooked gems. The owner's 30 years of experience shine through in his clean and high-quality builds, with a waiting list stretching three to four years for his expert touch. Delving deeper, Larry uncovers a rare Japanese sports car with a two-stroke engine, a true testament to the owner's diverse expertise and passion for unique automotive creations.

The video culminates in an exhilarating test drive by Larry, who is left in awe of the lightweight yet powerful machine's speed and handling. The owner's collection of one-owner cars awaiting restoration showcases a dedication to preserving automotive history while pushing the boundaries of performance. Larry's drive encapsulates the essence of this workshop, where classic meets cutting-edge in a symphony of power, precision, and pure driving pleasure.
