I really like the Best Motoring series.

There is also 360 Video (more of an Import Scene video), Grip Video, I can't seem to think of any others at the moment. These are probably not what you are looking for, though.

If you can find Video Option or Hot Version, you'll be very happy

Choku Dori, I have seen a couple of Hot Versions and I'd LOVE to get some, but I need to get smarter on NTSC region 3 format. I posted a couple of days ago about that, but since I don't have a laptop that is fast enough for DVDs (mine skips and lags), I've got to watch them on the TV in our room...there're 6 dudes we share among. None are import car nor racing enthusiasts.

Shrieden, you're the MAN! I ordered 4.

Damn, that sucks! Hot Version and Video Option are available on VHS too, if that helps

Shuuto Kosoku Trial series are usually pretty good too. They're kinda older, and they're movies with thin plots that are in reality just an excuse to take high-powered Japanese sports cars onto the highways of Japan haha. You can find them on VCD format, so region and speed shouldn't be an issue.

Pat, the upcoming Speed Gear video's will be pretty good!!
the "Tarzan" Yamada & friends DVD, and then the Saisoku video. Farid is getting really good at filming. Check out the Trailers on the link from http://speedhawaii.com on the right side.

Just a suggestion since you Know the people making the video. Of course I've watched all the video uncut in the shop.

Hey Choku, the Shuuto Kosuku Trial series, is it the same as the Megalopolis Highway series? I did see them on DVD at Tower. I remember seeing one where Tsuchiya was teaching this guy on ice in a Skyline GTR is that the one? Currently, I believe the Best Motoring series to be the best, as far as US region DVDs are concerned.

This is what I've gotten for now:

Order Details
-----------------------------------------------
14664 x 1, Best Motoring 10 - GTR The Prodigy DVD @ $ 42.95ea. = $ 42.95


12241 x 1, Nissan Skyline GTR Video @ $ 39.95ea. = $ 39.95


2463 x 1, Modern Engine Tuning @ $ 49.95ea. = $ 49.95
That's Aussie dollars. The last is a book by Bell that I was having a difficult time finding.

I'm gonna look into some of the others y'all have posted.

Edit: Sean, you know I'll want that when it becomes available. Right before I left, Dan & I had dinner with Farid at the Ala Moana Food court and he told us all about it.

Thanks a bazzillion.

GTR: The Prodigy DVD is waaay kewl. In that one, you get to see the Spec C catch and pass the EVO not to mention seeing Solberg run the Touge in the WRC Impreza. Speedgear @ Ala Moana had adjusted the prices of their Best MOtoring DVDs. They are now selling at a more reasonable $24.95 (used to be over $30). However, Tower & Suncoast now carries them @ $19.95.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the same series or not. Tsuchiya Keiichi is the producer of Shuuto Kosoku Trial I know though, and it is an older series (from the early to mid 90s I think). That's interesting... I think I'll try to find out if they're the same
