32:43 LS swap it gang tf you doinnnnggg
Justin has a twin!? Wtf
old cars just look better!
Holden sold Piazza in Australia…
strangely this was badged as a holden in australia
Any plans tp convert it to independent rear suspension? Maybe put all wheel drive in it???
My grandfather had one of these. I think it replaced his merkur xr4ti. Cool guy with weird cars
I wanted one of these growing up. I read somewhere in Car & Driver magazine when paper magazines were a thing that VW looked at this design for the Scirroco. Their loss for passing on it if it’s true.
Showing it next to a delorean was smoove lol
JUSTIN SHOULD ATLAS 4200 TURBO SWAP THE IMPULSE AND TURN IT INTO A DRIFT CAR WITH ZACH IT WOULD BE GOOD CONTENT HELP THIS MAN DO A HOONIGAN STYLE SCOPE CREEP BUILD.
PAY FOR HIS BUILD AND LET HIM KEEP IT
4200 TURBO, TALK TO CALVIN (NIVLAC57)
BOLTED TO T56
SWAP IN A REAR AXLE FROM A SUNBIRD V8 AND I FORGET THE FRONT HUBS BUT THEN YOU CAN WEAR CAMARO WHEELS TOO… MORE OFFSET MORE BETTER
DO A 944/DTM RADWOOD STYLE WIDEBODY
Really looks a lot similar to a Cordia at the front end…or a Starion….
The car looks really 👍 good
This car is incredible – I want to see what it’s been up to since this video!!!
looks similar to a saab
Why all the headaches finding parts ever heard of a Chevy spectrum or dodge Shadow all 3 cars are pretty much the exact same car
I’m a simple person, I see Justin on the thumbnail, I click
Sandro is like a mad scientist yo! so much knowledge in that man
oh my god
bro is that Sandro?!
its a strange car but i dunno, it's kinda neat.
Damn, I’ve always loved this car since I was a Kid
Why didnt you get a GEO STORM, as a parts car, I think the Impulse and Storm are brother cars.
Respectfully:
Piazza. Like Pizza.
Not Piazzzah.
Brilliant work. Kudos on your taste for wonky cars.
God, California is so awful
fun engine swap idea, Swap in the 2.6L from the isuzu pup
The true spirit of donut is slowly coming back after the corporate takeover but seriously can i we chill out with the ads man? im getting like 10 every video, plus the commercials yall make too. its making your videos pretty annoying to watch.
It seems like a bunch of the issues y'all have on these old cars is the state of California, either parts availability or smog test. Why stay in that god-awful state? Y'all aren't from there, and can literally film and post content from anywhere. Why not move the operation to a more car-friendly state?
I want episodes and seasons of Justin and Zach building their cars. They’re crazy rally builds their unique old card builds their Land Cruiser build everything I want to see it happen and I want Justin to get a Toyota or a jeep and go on hell of these trails with Zach.
We bought this car new and I learned to drive on it. It broke down all the time and nobody wanted to fix it but it was fun to rally around in. Great memories.
I support this project!!
its just such a cute car tho
my VW Scirocco 1987 model ate thos for breakfast before fast and Furious my VW was fast only things keep beating me was a Honda CRX that had a bigger Turbo 🙂
I would have put a temp tank in the trunk area and just rocked that for a while
This would have made an awesome swap candidate, you’ve already done some of the common ones (k series, ls, 2jz, etc) so putting something in unexpected in a car that rare would be pretty cool. Maybe a cobalt ss or srt4 swap, or go way left field an put a vw tdi in it and make it roll coal🤷♂️
WHY would California be like that? They can't enter the State?
With the gas tank, is there any reason you can't get one fully fabricated if the original is unusable? Idk a lot please be gentle
How is the first time I'm seeing the Isuzu? Those wheels are slick. I hope there's more
There was an Impulse in the Cannonball Run. A black one, driven by a couple Asian guys. Had a bunch of high tech stuff, for the time, and could drive at night with NO headlights, using infrared!
They were cool back then!
I hope you kept the penny, and if so. Make it into a keychain.
