In this episode of the datsun 510 build things are starting to take shape. Much to go but, I'm into the assemble phase and uncovering some new paths to take this retromod track tool!
Enjoy the Drive

Hello Hello! In this episode I sit back, crack a bottle of whiskey and break down the latest developments of the business. We will walk through some real time JDM auctions, and as always, ask questions.

The steady climb of JDM car value and will they plateau any time soon? I'll go in to some detail and thoughts regarding the influence of car prices and some sources that contribute. Detailing side of the business has surpassed expectations for year 1 at the brick and mortar and on the search for a new car to import.

Alright, here we go! As if there wasn't enough on the plate of this solo business owner, family man, enthusiast, loon.... I'm starting a major build. This is a car that has occupied my daydreams for multiple decades and now, inexplicably, I have one. This is not going to be a series of me bolting on parts and reporting back. This is a series of me exercising some old skills and mostly, learning as I go. Expect triumphs, that are over celebrated, fails, that are completely transparent, and hopefully an insightful listen. This will be a 10 part series covering the car in its current state (totally naked chassis and some boxes of parts most of which, won't be used) to completion. This goal is to make this my rolling business car with a track duty focus. Datsun...SR20...Racebits...lets go!

And Yes, I've changed up the intro due to feedback
Have some big news, maybe not the brightest but, it's a decision none the less. Should add to the content moving forward. Also, we get a little personal of a major...terrible event that recently happened in my life.

This is turning into a bad habit....Too long in between podcasts! So, a ton has happened since the last episode and I will be back on track. If you've been following me, this is a big one.
JDM talk of course, on the back half I get into one of my favs...the Toyota Soarer.

In episode 17 I uncover some realizations about starting this business....completely transparent realizations. And no, I'm not stopping. If anything stronger but, for anyone interested in the game, or in the game, this will be a good listen. Time to keep pushing!

Episode 15 dives into the point and value of getting my Customs Broker's license, why and where the 25yr rule came from for importing JDM rides to the states, and what JDM cars are good buys right now. Buying and importing a JDM car is like playing the stock market, one viral video will directly impact the market. I'll continue to try and keep you in the know, take you along for the ride as business develops. As always, let me know your thoughts.

In this episode, I talk 4x4s that are good buys, my son gets a gash on his forehead, what I consider my business to be, and some less common JDM cars to consider. Many topics as always, this is my real time brain dump of the importing business. Hopefully some good food for thought.
As always, keep the conversation going ask me anything:

What's up JDM heads?! Been too long since I've been on the mic and this episode is full of updates. Good AWD buys that are legal now for importing, business talk, and some parts importing ideas. If you're a fan of STIs, Evos, GTIRs, or AWD Celicas...I'm showing you some love. Also, some updates on importing policy changes....always something. Ever want to import JDM parts? Listen for some tips
As Always I'm Here to share. DM, Email, or Call with any questions.

In episode 12 I cover a topic that is often asked by prospecting JDM buyers. "Can I import a car that is non running for a project" Short answer is yes but, I share the full picture that might have the "value" negated completely. Also I ask you advice on names for the detailing subsidiary of my buisiness and cover what I think, are the best buy's for 15-20k.
Enjoy and as always, share your questions/opoinions

It's been too long since the last upload. Schedule is settling down and I'm back on it.

Episode 11 follows suit to my transparency mantra. I get on a bit of a tangent with more state registration hurtles, allowing others to do work for me, and my take away from recent experiences. Bit of a rant but, much can be learned.
Also, I talk about my first Vendor experience at a car show, Clean Culture Charlotte. Lessons learned, value added, etc.
As always ask any and all questions you have about this episode or general importing:

Keeping you in the complete know, as always. I've had another shake up this week which prompted an "all in" focus on the Company. My toes aren't in the water anymore, dove into the deep end. Also the RX7 FD and Nissan Cedric are officially on the market. Looking forward to new inventory! Lets do this!
