Kaido Racers Take Over Canadian Streets!! | Summer Touring 2023 (4K)
the export company didn't send me my documents so I don't even know if I can register it yet the family road trip all right this is the spot that I stand at the beginning of touring videos uh we're at Rudeboy's place and it is the day before summer touring which means lots of the people from out of town and most of the really really cool cars that are going to be at summer touring are already at rudeboys property so it's a different vibe today because there's less people it's much more mellow and nobody's rushing to get anything done for the event that starts tomorrow night I'm sure tomorrow's going to be a totally different vibe but uh, for now, it's just really nice to see a bunch of our friends from out of town This is Cameron from London England and he's made it all the way out here to Canada for summer touring today what are you hoping to see tonight what people are producing across the border because obviously La has its own miniature kaido racer scene where a lot of it's like a Fukuoka and Hokkaido spec stuff right and then up here people are getting a lot more experimental yeah so we've got obviously the golf cart car and stuff like that it's cool to see something a bit different right yeah this is your first time seeing a lot of these cars I mean Skip's car I knew the orange car obviously was at non-story two right but I've never seen Keith's car even though you know we've known each other so long like um but seeing so many XXs in one place is crazy because we have like none oh cool so especially both faces yeah um but yeah everything here is just so sick already so we've still got people to come yeah no doubt there's still a lot of people coming why is your front end so long because uh you know I just made it that way that's just how they do do it you know it's for keeping it cool what are you what are you hoping to see at summer touring tonight I'm hoping to see some really bitching rides and some [ __ ] I'm excited for what the Cowboys have [ __ ] a lot of cool cars this year yeah this is every year it just keeps getting well not even every year every six months it just keeps getting a little better well no the car looks really good I'm excited to see it one color eventually but it looks excellent right now ride height is awesome it makes a great noise lots of cool parts and yeah the long nose looks fantastic thank you thank you it's Brian and we love him so www.kidoracer.com is a fantastic website for you to learn about this style of car culture and get an understanding of all the terminology and all the different things and Brian here is the man behind that website so Brian what do you want to see at summer touring tonight uh I'm already starting to see it but I'm seeing a lot more finished cars a lot more people here a lot more enthusiastic people we've got way more cars than just even last year even New Year's touring so I'm just excited to see everybody um just everyone having fun that's all that matters you know I I hope that everyone has fun and that they enjoy the cars but more than anything that they're being respectful to the culture where these cars came from and having an understanding a good understanding again that this isn't ours and you know even though these are our cars this is our interpretation of kaido races that were built in Japan and just being respectful of that that's really all what are you most excited about what are you hoping to see I mean like more of this yeah so far so good like the driveway looks crazy already yeah it's wild that we're probably seeing most of the cars right now yeah like I mean this car's here yeah this is like a milestone having this car out of California no kidding so it's it's really sick that John chose our event to bring this to out of first of anything yeah yeah which is which is crazy I mean you can see already that there's like so many new builds for this year that are like so much better than previous years yeah eggs eggs the special request by the Cowboys we got eggs and pepper pop the hood watch the hood squeeze there we go I have an egg with no pepper man that much we were doing great on the way over it wasn't overheating but yeah here we are every year man every year ah this is awesome man this is like probably the best drive that I've ever been on and the super has been fantastic it drove so well there's so many people so many new cars I can die now like it's all downhill it's all downhill from here my mind is blown uh it's a little overwhelming but very very excited that my car isn't broken down yet so we're doing good far it's not going to we're making it home manifest good things always always hell yeah look at this big sandwich consumer eat big dirty every day I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy uh yeah I'm stoked [ __ ] car turned out pretty mint I think it's going great I mean we have so many more cars here than last year uh people are very good at fitting the criteria uh I think the quality is a bit subpar the quality is great like everybody [ __ ] grinded for that can I say [ __ ] yeah you say whatever you want okay I'm stoked honestly I didn't think our car's gonna be ready we were like pissing out breaking news today like like up until the moment we left when you stomped on the brake pedal fluid just came squirting out dude sick and we haven't lost any so far [ __ ] yeah because we duct taped it so hell yeah yeah really good um yeah looking at this parking lot right now compared to last time there's not much stuff that shouldn't be here I feel like last touring there was like 50 50 cool cars and like cars that don't belong here and right now it looks good I'm happy dude the fantasy Works car dude it turned out so good so good Oso's car is great oh no so can I start now yeah [ __ ] that [ __ ] we'll start when I want to start okay we'll start now it's [ __ ] great so amazing just here in Canada best Kaido Racers right here we brought one from LA hopefully we bring more yeah maybe next year we'll have a special car um yeah I guess summer touring is a wrap for 2023 that was an amazing event I'm so glad to have been there after missing New Year's touring and being in Japan uh amazing like turnout of cars I can't believe how many cars there were how many like actual completed builds there were um yeah it's exciting to see that each time we go to one of these touring events just more and more people are picking up this culture and actually running with it learning about it and building these exciting cars and uh even when we did the the public part of the event it was cool to see that like there are so many people that came out even though we delayed it was like 11 p.m and we were so late there's a huge community of people that were just excited to see these cars on the street were waiting for us as they as we pulled up so yeah if you were a part of Summer touring this year thank you so much and uh if you're from out of town and you weren't able to be here thanks for watching the video make sure you hit like and leave a comment we really do appreciate all the positive comments that we receive on these videos and uh do yourself a favor and go to kydoracer.com and learn a little bit more about this culture tell me a little bit about why you made kaidoracer.com and what you're hoping that
website accomplishes I felt like kaido racer is like I couldn't sell a magazine or like make a magazine it'd make more sense as a website it needs to be free public information for everybody to access because there's too much misinformation out there right now so the first thing was I need to make a website and hopefully get all the Help from My Friends and like if anybody else is watching this that feels like they contribute at all like hit me up in the emails like I'd love to have more contributors for it but I felt like if we get more information out there it's like a couple steps ahead of like nothing so you can get started you can learn a little bit more before you like fully dive in and jump into kite erasers totally and it's not to be like a gatekeeper or to be like an elitist of any means it's just lots of people call this stuff the wrong stuff and lots of people build these things really really wrong and if so if you are interested in this culture and you want to build one of these cars and you don't want to make all of the bonehead beginner mistakes going to eraser.com is probably going to save you a bunch of time and give you kind of you know like two or three steps ahead yeah as your starting spot uh I first got into it maybe 10 years ago and like back then like I was doing some cringy stuff too like I fully didn't know and like I dove down and started looking up stuff in Japanese and then having friends here teach me stuff and like it slowly built up to that so it takes time but hopefully this will get you a good starting point to to skip all the mistakes that we've made in the past yeah well Brian thank you so much for that website though for sure like for myself I've learned tons and I know so many people just in this 100 feet around me have learned tons from it as well and I'm still learning too like I don't know everything we'll get that out there but like I'm always learning new things but I always want to make sure that information is spread out yeah and I think that's actually a great point it's like sometimes people will see somebody that has a brand or has a website or even just sees like me on a camera or Dylan filming and they think like oh these guys know it all or have all the answers we don't like we do not at all we're still learning to we know a lot but we don't know everything yeah and uh yeah it's just it's just part of growing like yeah make you can make mistakes and learn from them just don't be afraid when somebody calls you out on it because that's just part of becoming better at something well why did you go from London to Los Angeles then up to here uh that's a long story um a few years ago maybe five six years ago I think I saw a Moonlight Runners post just come up because there was a few hashtags I was following I didn't really understand at the time so I was following like buzzazoku and stuff like that right and I think someone reshared their stuff with that and then I saw their stuff so I started watching them and then I started inboxing them like asking questions and their stories and eventually it became like an actual dialogue so after talking for a few years I saw the first non-suri I couldn't make out for that but I was like right I have to be there for the next one right and I flew out for the next year and I was with them kind of prepping all the cars helping run the event and after that it kind of just solidified the friendship and it's gotten to the point where now I'm in my third year of knowing them in person decided to fly up for this one because again I can't go to non-suri right um just watching the checkpoint videos seeing what was happening up in Canada as an extension from like yeah the LA introduction to the Canada scene um yeah I just I had to be here sweet I couldn't miss it uh this is Mason and Connor from after hours and behind me is their Mazda that they've built and I'm just going to get them to uh tell us a little bit about the car as well as about what after hours is yeah 1985 GLC cardo racer that we've built just for summer touring it's just our original style for it yeah there was no real inspiration honestly it's just kind like our ideas colors original the green is like a 3M Green Envy wrap color and then the pink is a bubble gum Pink by 3M I did like the whole Library design this was our original rendition of the car yeah we made that back in like January as like the starting Vision yeah I built everything like the uh front splitter Hood the hood the flares thingies yeah I built all that with a little bit of help and uh it turned out pretty good for my first ever time whipping it together after hours is just basically a Lifestyle brand that I created we make clothing it's like a fashion Focus sort of bridge between cars and art and like music it's all a bunch of things it it's basically pursuing your like Hobbies you know after hours I would say and then yeah it's basically a Lifestyle brand but we focus on fashion no suspension obviously hockey pucks we did like a build video on more skids of it and then the wheels are SSR formula mesh and 13x9 negative one no spacers they like actually fit the car perfectly obviously we connected onto the roof too but all of the checkers and everything go through just to carry the live redesign turned out really good and then the mystify light looks cool we've got like lights underneath uh yeah Austin made it oh one of those duck house wood pies shouts out oh we also have a musical horde too we haven't yeah hold up it's not very loud right now but sounds good you could hear it we have like a product line on after hours of uh mystify products we do like a few different things but yeah too much to talk about so perfect one okay okay so this is John from Moonlight Runners based out of Southern California and he was here at Summer touring last year just to see how it went and uh get an overall Vibe for it but this year he's actually brought up his budame which is essentially the face of the Moonlight Runners brand probably one of the most Rec actually not one of probably the most recognizable kaido racer built in North America and uh it's super exciting to see it here in Canada um yeah John tell us a little bit about Moonlight Runners a little bit about the car and maybe just about kind of the journey getting it up here and uh what you hope to see tonight at summer touring um so this car and this journey began in 2013 for us it was me and my wife uh working out of a one-car garage basically and we had zero skill but 100 enthusiasm we knew we wanted to build a kite eraser but we just didn't know how we were going to get from A to Z so what we did is we started pretty much just building uh putting things together slapping Bondo on the car and like the wing itself is all handmade it's fiberglass foam and Bondo not the ideal way to do it but yeah it's uh how we could do it at the time the flares are uh Works flares that we make ourselves we made the side step it's a square tubing all the way across with fiberglass uh paste it on top it's a one and a half inch exhaust 10 feet back um let's see uh the paint we did it's a true candy so it's three coats of that purple on top of the silver and the silver itself is also a fine metallic that we mixed um this car has had about four different iterations this is the final one so far and this was completed in 2018. and um yeah my wife this is her car this is her baby um and again since 2013 till now we've just been pushing grinding as much as we can um early in the years we just didn't know well we didn't understand why there weren't no full tubidagi style builds outside of Japan so pretty much we just said yeah we're gonna do it and we did in the beginning there was a lot of opposition there were a lot of people that weren't giving us uh pretty much um any pointers anyone that did know even an inkling of what this was they weren't sharing that information with us so it was very difficult in the beginning and um the thing about that though is When someone tells me I can't do something that just motivates me even more and luckily for me I have a wonderful wife who also has the same tenacity so as soon as anyone is like oh no that's not going to look good or oh you can't do that guess what we're going to show you that we can and so that's the this is the byproduct of that mentality um and like I said one car garage we have friends that have come put hands on it sanding and helping us out as well we have a really solid team back in SoCal that you know I love those guys they they are our support you know when it comes to the business or building cars anything like that you know we really rely on them a lot and uh we'll do anything for them and I feel that's vice versa when it comes to coming up to uh summer touring uh Reed and Keith love them we support them 110 I've known Reid for years met Keith before I even know who knew who Keith was you know which was funny this you know coming here last year I knew it was a big deal for them for you know me to be here and I'm sure they would love Astra to be here as well but um this year you know we had to bring the car out and I feel like this event is something unique it's very cool no one else is doing that besides us and SoCal when we throw our non-sodi events but besides that no one else is trying to help bring this community together so seeing this we have to be a part of it we want to meet the people we want to talk to everyone talk to the builders and we want to understand exactly where everyone one else has gained their inspiration I feel like how to Racers also can be sometimes like misjudged and a sense of thinking they have to look goofy they have to look wacky that's not the case you know everything is premeditated everything is planned you need to understand the sub genres each sub-genre to be able to mix the style and I feel like as Americans or Canadians a lot of times we miss that because we're trying to mix the Styles without understanding what these styles are so that's where we miss it so um so with this car being here I'm hoping it inspires some people I hope that uh they're able to look at it take something away and I hope that you know they ask us questions and that you know we're always willing to answer and we're always willing to help and in any way we can you know we're here to support
