That wagon looks SOLID! I would recommend changing that oil fill cap since Japanese Hercules overtightened it! But I thank you guys for recommending that Valvoline restore and protect! Makes a HUGE difference on my wifes Lexus and my Mustang 🤝
Proof that 2 middle aged guys can build a better car than any of the younger generation out there. Growing up in the right era and carrying on the blend of style, performance, and being different.
You have a broad blank statement that’s very incorrect. The thought that someone younger is incapable of doing something as easy as lowering a car and adding a grill is unreasonable. It’s a matter of taste and capability. You sound very close minded
Back in the late 90's when Tein was first hitting the Americas, they had a little fine print at the bottom of their magazine advertisements that said: "TEIN, like RAIN" So thats the official pronunciation straight from the source 👍
9:51 - what is this song playing? 🤔 "Do you love cars?" Or "Do you love parts?"🤔 15:01 -MOOOOOSE!💪 21:56 - i disagree, you can have a little noise come out of a cruiser like this if the exhaust is built correctly. Do this by keeping the pipe diameter the same as OEM. Then replace all the mufflers and resonators with free'er flowing units that are the same physical size as OEM. Or if you just want the van quiet, change nothing. 💪 33:42 - i would be concerned with the ride height once it's loaded with passengers and gear. Load it up with the maximum expected load and adjust the coils with 2 fingers gap between the tire and fender. That JDM Odyssey is a good look🏆
Ok, if I may…this is a really cool van. Y’all put AdVan wheels on it, you have the front lip, side skirts, coilovers, the extended rear wing, really nice stance?! You have to do the exhaust. It’s not complete! It can’t look that aggressive and not have SOME sound. It doesn’t need to be loud and obnoxious but something to raise an eyebrow or two, get the folks saying “oh, this van is DIFFERENT!” 🤙🏾
I sold my RB2 AWD absolute spec a few years ago. Best car for stealth / low profile. You can also make them sound good - ditch the Pioneer junk and go full Alpine, sounds are essential for a daily. Not fast, but a great car.
I’m looking forward to your next non-Honda builds. After riding in a few of these Odyssey vans in Japan, I can understand some of the appeal. The top spec models aren’t that common, so you guys got a nice one.
Just replaced the pcv valve on my FD Civic. DP, it took me 3hrs & I'm a mechanic! Lost screw, lost clip, took 3 goes to refit the tower brace & the cowling on top, no room to get the pcv hose spring clamp off (obviously I don't have the special tool at home) so don't feel ba buddy!
I had an RB1 before and I changed the audio panel same as your factory option for 2 din. The wirings are a bit tricky. You cant find an adapter or connector for that. You must splice it one by one. The car has a speaker amp under the front passenger seat. I will look for the English diagram for that. Then I can send it to you. Good luck. You have a beautiful. Ody.
That odyssey really reminds of a 8th gen civic si from the front end I’m not gonna lie the only generation odyssey van that I have always wanted prior to seeing this one now is the i believe first gen ( which ever gen had the suv style doors lol)
This car is pretty cool. Very slept on in Australia. Please put some performance mods into it. Start with an intake manifold swap and change over the intake pipe. Then give it a tune. She'd be the best soccer mums mini van a guy would appreciate.
I want this so bad! I have to wait like 3/5 more years till it’s legal in states. Y’all did a great job with odyssey!! Throw a Mugen intake on it for the noise and few extra ponies.
1/2 - full inch lift and a little less camber so the tires don't wear out too fast and this thing is golden. A Kei truck or a Kei car would be really cool. Check out an 03 Daihatsu Gino. I'd love to see the Speed Academy treatment to a Gino.
I was painting some plastic trim w black gloss wheel paint, aerosol can. It turned out great actually, but when I sprayed a clear coat it caused the dry paint to crack like dry lake bed.
You're lowering your RB...while I'm about to put the OE springs back in my RB2 to raise it up. The unknown brand/rate lowering springs are just too stiff for the factory dampers. Thanks for the motivation!
The RB Odyssey looks awesome! Side note: have you considered importing from China? I mean these vans are available in China as well, and they’re left hand drive, plus tons of aftermarket support for modifications, and they dash actually shows English words. Overall sounds like an easier option to drive around in Canada.
That is such a nice car and looks stunning. I would keep the stock headlights. If you want a touch of blue, go with Osram Diadem Blinker Bulbs (I hope they are legal in Canada but hey, they are here in germany and that means quite a lot :D )
Realy wish we coudl import these in the states. I'd drive one 100%. I've wanted one for so long, since seeing some slammed ones in Japan about 10 years ago.
Rb1 is fwd. rb2 is awd. The blue tint headlight came on the prefacelift version of the Rb1/2 absolute pre 06. The post facelift absolute lost that blue tint.
Duplicolor sells premixed touch up cans of Nighthawk Black Pearl, I've used it before and it turned out surprisingly ok. Edit: commented this before I saw that you ended up using that hah
Fellas great work! I’m in Barrie and have a DC5 Jdm Integra type R if you wanted to make some content with I’m sure we could come up with a plan. Keep up the great work!
I'm pretty sure the US has/had Odysseys. Back when I used to work at Honda we every now and then received US Honda models for the army guys stationed in Germany. Together with Civic Si's, Pilot's, Accord Coupé's there sometimes also was an Odyssey.

so happy to see moose again😊 16:06
It? Who's it? Like cousin It? It the clown???
God I've missed moose's heavy breathing, brings me back to the celica build days. Odyssey looks great!
Proof that 2 middle aged guys can build a better car than any of the younger generation out there. Growing up in the right era and carrying on the blend of style, performance, and being different.
I mean all they did was wheels lowering that wing and a different grill not really even a build tbh
@@devinculbertson9928yes but their choices that matters. very immaculate taste.
You have a broad blank statement that’s very incorrect. The thought that someone younger is incapable of doing something as easy as lowering a car and adding a grill is unreasonable. It’s a matter of taste and capability. You sound very close minded
Middle aged rocks, we are the best. Best generation currently alive.
What a bold and silly statement.
Back in the late 90's when Tein was first hitting the Americas, they had a little fine print at the bottom of their magazine advertisements that said: "TEIN, like RAIN" So thats the official pronunciation straight from the source 👍
yeah! tein is japanese, so "ei" is pronounced as it is in kei-car
i get to live my former honda life vicariously through you guys. thanks!
Love this dad enthusiast mechanic channel.😅. Everything I would do to an odyssey if I had one. Looks so clean
As a family guy with a wife and two kids, this ride is fricking awesome. 👏 thank you

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All your builds have the right amount of Mods.
Holy crap that van looks so sick!!!!! That reveal blew me away 👌👌👌
So many honda's have been on this channel. Think you guys have found the formula. Let's see a turbo K next
And manual swap

And get some louder induction too with a better intake pipe and maybe a shorter intake manifold off a type R
Love my rb1-, my 7th row is electrical which is awesome. Love seeing mods on these. Watching from New Zealand
Sick build. My boys from the Bronx, NY in the 90s would be proud and very jealous of this ride. Love it.
33:11 Thank you for those outside shots 🙏
PERFECT choice of wheels! And the rest of the mods were also spot on!
I sold my RB2 AWD absolute spec a few years ago. Best car for stealth / low profile. You can also make them sound good - ditch the Pioneer junk and go full Alpine, sounds are essential for a daily. Not fast, but a great car.
If I was in Canada I’d pick this up for the family. So cool!
There's a ton of them in the country now. Odyssey RBs and Honda Fit RSes. So much supply had their cost around 10,000 Cad. Quite the bargain imo!
Wanted to buy this in Singapore this video help me 100% thank you!

I've always wanted to have a JDM Honda Odyssey. They look awesome pimped. Great work !
Keep the eyes looks like that, RB2 being RB2 that's beauty

Loving this series guys. Bringing back memories of my RB1 (Australia). But it wasn’t as nice as yours. Fantastic cars.
More of these! Love the basic cars build (ie crv)
We love our RB1 Honda Odyssey Absolute! Ours came with full Mugen aero and factory Recaros 😎 We've done a lot of work on ours also!
The carrozzeria subwoofer are very famous in malaysia and the price is going up n up everyday so keep it man❤❤
I've a FN2 Type R in this colour. It looks so good when clean in the sun
This thing is clean! Never wanted a minivan so bad 😭
This car is pretty cool. Very slept on in Australia. Please put some performance mods into it. Start with an intake manifold swap and change over the intake pipe. Then give it a tune. She'd be the best soccer mums mini van a guy would appreciate.
Polish the blue headlights and tint the fog lights yellow 👌🏼
I want this so bad! I have to wait like 3/5 more years till it’s legal in states. Y’all did a great job with odyssey!! Throw a Mugen intake on it for the noise and few extra ponies.
1/2 - full inch lift and a little less camber so the tires don't wear out too fast and this thing is golden.
A Kei truck or a Kei car would be really cool. Check out an 03 Daihatsu Gino. I'd love to see the Speed Academy treatment to a Gino.
This has become one of my realistic attainable dream cars for when I'm a dad.
Love the look of the van and wheels ! Great video guys keep up the great work!
Looks so good but for DD purposes (people and cargo), I’m sure it needs to be raised a bit. JDM Odyssey is such a cool platform
I was painting some plastic trim w black gloss wheel paint, aerosol can. It turned out great actually, but when I sprayed a clear coat it caused the dry paint to crack like dry lake bed.
Agreed. I now lay the clear on wet when it’s DIY. That’s what those paint society guys suggested and it worked great when I redid my hood.
Love your job guys. Great movies, great cars, great mods ❤😎
Nice. Been waiting for this eversince you got this van. Dang I really want one now. Y’all did a very nice job!!
Man, I wish I didn’t have to wait for these to be available in the states. It’s the ultimate dad whip.
I've had one of those Milltek exhaust tips sitting around for years. Haven't found anything to use it on yet.
Van is looking great.
OEM grill match the wheels and looks a lot better to me, Nice Odyssey
Been waiting for this episode for a long time 🫶🏻
You're lowering your RB...while I'm about to put the OE springs back in my RB2 to raise it up. The unknown brand/rate lowering springs are just too stiff for the factory dampers. Thanks for the motivation!
The Spray Max 2K aerosol cans are absolutely the way to go.
Crown Athlete wagon for next build! The more wagons the better!
Thumbs up for Crowns! -171 owner here.
amazing looking retro wagon
i wish i could like this a thousand times danggg sooooo freaking good!!!!!!
Not big Honda guy.. but that looks sick... a good looking car is a good looking car..
An NSX would be epic! Only jdm legend you guys haven't done yet
This is such a sick build! I honestly can't believe you all haven't gotten ahold of a mk7 fiesta st
I want this thing! Too bad US import laws suck.
Agreed🤦🏻♂️
Love seeing Moose return

That is one minivan I would not mind driving around town lol. Might have to look into the DWS tour54 for my civic si.
Hell yeah finally a true JDM legend!. Hi Moose!.
Honda Odyssey Absolute is one of my favorites and would love to take this off your hands but I am in the U.S.
Favorite build since the flexus!
Leave the grill black and put it on, it will probably tie in great with the black on the headlights
one of my favorite builds, still waiting on that eg sedan content!
That is such a nice car and looks stunning. I would keep the stock headlights. If you want a touch of blue, go with Osram Diadem Blinker Bulbs (I hope they are legal in Canada but hey, they are here in germany and that means quite a lot :D )
Nighthawk Black Pearl! My favorite color for honda that's what my 99 accord is resprayed in!
CGP is pretty sick too, beautiful gold tones in the sun. A lot of great honda colors in the 90s. But pearls are so expensive to spray
Man it doesn't have to be loud at all but PUT AN EXHAUST ON THAT THANG!
Perfect dad wagon! The headlights need to stay!
OMG did I not expect the Moose cameo at that moment. What an unexpected turn in the plot.
Great wheel choice! I have some RSIIIs i use for a "winter set"
Pretty cool ride, it does look like a 2011 accord extended hatchback if there were such a thing.
there is in the UK
Omfg!!! That thing is sooooo cooool.
I'd like to see a track max myself.
Realy wish we coudl import these in the states. I'd drive one 100%. I've wanted one for so long, since seeing some slammed ones in Japan about 10 years ago.
Moose, master of mechanics and the most powerful farter of speed academy
I’d like to see a Suzuki Jimny build. Van looks great
Love the content with JDM cars we can’t get in the US… yet. Would love something with a DC5 vs DC2. Or Y34 Gloria vs the Flexus.
14:45 : Pronounced "Tayn" :)
I would drive that thing everyday all day exactly how yall did it.
Build and ST205 Celica with the big wing.
Any Celica GT4 would be great!
TEIN is pronounced “tain” (or “tane” if you prefer!)
Thank you for pronouncing MUGEN correctly!
Rb1 is fwd. rb2 is awd. The blue tint headlight came on the prefacelift version of the Rb1/2 absolute pre 06. The post facelift absolute lost that blue tint.
Car looks great. I would love to own one someday.
Next challenge should be battle of the Kei cars! Or if you can find an autozam!
Ooo as for next project recommendations: 5th gen Prelude, 80s or 90s land cruiser, an older
VW.
Moooooossseeee. Glad to see you again!!!
Duplicolor sells premixed touch up cans of Nighthawk Black Pearl, I've used it before and it turned out surprisingly ok.
Edit: commented this before I saw that you ended up using that hah
Man that oddly looks amazing
Yea I love when I finD these kind of builds…🤔 let’s See you should try a CRV next - with typeR specs would be helLa fun 😅😅😅
The KW blower on the van would be insane
Fellas great work! I’m in Barrie and have a DC5 Jdm Integra type R if you wanted to make some content with I’m sure we could come up with a plan. Keep up the great work!
Something about former HADA boys working on a 90 Honda with Teins takes me back to when I had hair. 😅
That thing is so cool! I hate the we have to wait so long for imports in the U.S. they need to update it already
This looks hella clean!
I'm pretty sure the US has/had Odysseys. Back when I used to work at Honda we every now and then received US Honda models for the army guys stationed in Germany. Together with Civic Si's, Pilot's, Accord Coupé's there sometimes also was an Odyssey.
If you're repainting the grille, maybe consider the handles? Unless you're into them as they are of course.
This things dope need more content of this thing
I have those coilovers on my 99 civic coupe and I love them
Looks mint 👌🏻 I so want one now haha . Needs boost though .
i'm a big fan for sure n never thought i'd say that about a van
Feel like you guys need a FK8 Type R build for the channel
A lowered odyssey is something I didn’t expect I needed to see lol
Definitely need to buy some LHT Performance oil cap tools.
