Like I said, I dig the chill vibe and I can’t wait to see new episodes. Other personalities are solid for the most part, but I hope that the unique substance is enough to carry what is overall a pretty low key and slow paced show. Eric is personable, and obviously very knowledgeable. For a non-enthusiast, or perhaps even an enthusiast who isn’t into JDM cars, it might be considered a little slow and low energy. For someone like me, it’s fantastic to see the older JDM stuff get brought back to life and I love seeing how it’s done. The initial episode is probably more Wheeler Dealers than anything else, with fairly technical bits showing exactly how the work gets done in the shop. It made me want one by the end, mission accomplished. They do a once-over and give the audience a decent overview of why the ’86 is important to Japanese car culture. We get some sideline story diversions like the guys taking in a LHD Toyota Levin import that was already modded for a customer while it was resident in Japan. That includes a wonderful 3-carb engine mod, the addition of a new 5-speed, some Fairlady Z touches on the outside with cool fender flares by their body and paint guy Mauricio Rosales, and finally some great looking modernizations to the classic interior. It’s complete with the addition of a good bit of JDM parts, likely overnighted from Japan. The series premiere delivers a solid episode with shop manager Eric Bizek leading a customer build on a white Datsun 240Z at his shop in Salt Lake City. But as a sucker for 90s Japanese cars, so when I saw a title like “ JDM Legends“, I had to tune in. From the obvious, and epic, productions like Top Gear and Grand Tour, to more technical stuff like Wheeler Dealers and even brash Americana like Fast N’ Loud, I like it all. I’ll watch just about any car show on TV.
