Ben wasn’t lying when he said this video will be coming out way after Dustins! But boy is it so worth the wait. Really great content! Love your channel G&G!
tbh I think Ben and them OVER-produce this channel with all the cinematics and stuff. Bit over the top if you ask me. Just my opinion of course. I prefer a more raw, quick upload like a Boostedbois style..
@@JonHop1 nah, they have a quality standard way above most automotive TH-camrs, and I think that helps stand them out from the crowd. It's what I love most about this channel, it's always a quality upload in terms of both content and visuals.
@@JonHop1 yeah unfortunately the "raw" low effort style of the boostedbois is a lot less fun to watch. I subscribe to this channel (and not to boostedbois) because I like and appreciate the professional editing and composition
@@Hawk7886 Its all opinion.. there a reason BB get way more views and has way more subs.. and so many car channels are WAY less cinematic and over-produced and are doing way better.. For me, its a complete waste of time and money.. Cinematics have their time and place.. this channel is super over-produced like 90% of the time, which is why it takes so long to release. There needs to be a better balance if you are doing this from a business perspective. More releases, more content and the cinematic production here and there equals more content, less money and more profit. And for me, its just as entertaining. These are cars we are talking about. I dont need lipstick on a pig.
@@SamDoesStuff Yeah and their quality standard means more time and money spent with much less profit and for what exactly? To show CARS and racing around a track in some beauty pageant. I appreciate their effort, but their a reason BB and Cleetus have way more subs and views. Its more raw and real to normal car enthusiasts. Ben makes this like a friggen documentary. I watch car channels for to see the real behind the scenes dirty raw experience. If I wanted cinemtatics and a big production, Id watch the Fast and Furious or some car documentary on the History Channel. Again, just my opinion. Their camera work and editing is great, but I think its kinda wasted doing so in a car YT channel.. Go into movie making or something.
Definitely top notch tier content and videography. Big-ups to the G&G team, please keep up the awesome work and content. Awesome driving there Ben and Dustin
Having moved from the west coast to Colorado 11 years ago, I laugh any time I hear someone from back east call Colorado the west coast. The coast is a good 16hr drive from us with 2 separate mountain ranges in between. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey! I am a Honda s2000 - 2001 owner. I've never rebuild the engine, only serviced the head, but tbh the SPOON s2k making 192 WHP is kinda low. Why? I am only comparing to my s2k (only mods are intake - single exhaust, stock ecu) which is kinda a beaten up s2k and it made 192 WHP on a mustang dyno. GREAT VIDEO guys, keep it up!
@Clay S. nice thought! Maybe earlier vtec + shorter diff gear ratio. I honestly dont know, maybe he hasnt rebuilt the engine yet or he didnt test it on a dyno or with an other s2k. I've tested mine with a low kilometer s2k , with a ecu/exhaust/intake + shorter ratio of 4.44 and the difference was chaotic. he could take the race 1/4 mile - 400m even with letting off the gas :P
I personally dont understand why he went all out spoon but has a stock engine... That makes no sense.. And if he is building a car to compete in Grid his HP numbers are pathetic.. I think the Spoon F22C makes like 275. It is like almost $20K for that engine though lol
@@JonHop1 exactly he’s basically a ricer I personally don’t like Dustin As much he just seems meh to me but this s2000 looks nice all for 200 hp it’s so dumb at least Kwap it or do something Bc all that aero and shit just makes that car slow for somebody who just started tracking
That Honda really is becoming a Icon, good on you Short Ben. I keep watching your gridlife videos and looking at the RX8 I got on the driveway, maybe one day.
Its awesome seeing how other teams are willing to help out each other in these series. I mean you all are out there just to have fun and bragging rights. But at the end of the day i think its just about the fun factor.
I'm from CA and thinking the same thing lol. I've been to the raceway and Colorado Spring (beautiful place btw), I'd consider them definitely West but I'm not sure about coast. Maybe he meant that since the event attracts people from the Western states, not entirely sure.
The content is very entertaining but I’m very impressed with the filming/editing. I don’t know what kind of backing you got but it looks very professional.
Went to Gridlife this year. The weather was amazing and I got a little sunburnt but def going back to see you all again soon! Hopefully I'll get my first lap in next year!
Serious question: Why would he prefer the dual exhaust setup on the s2000? Couldn’t he lose some weight/gain some balance by running a single out the passenger side? Or does it not equate to much of a difference?
Wow I really thought the s2k would smoke the civic tbh, the fact that they're so close is crazy, I knew they handled well but I didn't realize they'd keep up so well
Another nice Video to watch.. great Channel . Im just wondering, what Oil Viscosity, is used in Dustin's S2000?? And in ur K24 built? Looking forward for the next Honda battle⚡💪
I'm a huge classic car guy, and am building a 65 mustang from the ground up With that said, I love the civic. One day would like to build one like it or a Integra
@Gears and Gasoline - I don't know if you guys already do this, but you could try to do a "track walk" before you start each day of time attack. Even if it's the same track over consecutive days.
Dustin's S2000 makes 190-200hp? And it has Spoon bolt ons? That can't be right. Stock the S2000 had 240hp. Was Dustin saying that as "at-the-crank" hp or "at-the-wheel"?
@@az_3kgt714 i mean that's fine I always just felt like dynos are never really that accurate since it really matters what calibrations you use and what type of dyno. I look at it more like take a baseline and then see if with mods you get the number up. The number itself doesn't matter, but if you did mods and it went up 30hp then good you now have more than stock.
@UCoG8tudR_ePN5SuVLmTYc3A Did you see what he did to that Mugen SI? He butchered it and turned it into just another cookie-cutter, riced out, stance trash piece of junk. You don't do that to limited edition vehicle.
Remember when this car was supossed to be a ek9 replica and Ben said that he only wanted to do a 5 lug conversion and oem wheels? Well almost 3 years later and those 5 lug nuts were expensive 😂
DUDE SO MUCH FUN!! Cant wait till next weekend! Thanks for all the help at PPIR!
cant wait :)
SPOON S2000 FTW ❣️
"We'll be back, we'll be back..." yea with hopefully more hp
KSWAP YOUR S2K XD
Really enjoyed the video between you guys, both really good dudes coming together to just race it out

Seriously the quality video and editing is really noticed G&G gang!
Got a bit of Forza Horizon vibes when they showed artist performing on stage
That was the inspiration for the Alpine Horizon festival lol

just bolt ons he said. so not much different from yours engine wise.
@@5PYZ3R oh, ok!
SPOON does nothing to the engine.. they tune a lot of other stuff but never touched the engine (at least for the S2000)
i believe dustins ap1 had an ap2 swap at the time
The wrap on your car Ben is looking killer. It makes me want to wrap my daily driver
"Full SPOON car"
Missing the most important part, the engine
“Coming out to the west coast…” nearest coast is the Gulf of Mexico.
Which is... West.
@@caileanhamilton9932 the west coast is absolutely not Colorado. The west and west coast are two different things.
wow you're so smart
Dustin's s2000 looks really good. I am not a big fan of headlight covers/deletes but gotta say looks dope on that s2000.

@@FredricMccubrey what u mean Ben's is modified..
@@JonHop1 different class
Love that S2000! (Dustins 😎) - Taz.
Getting distracted is never fun but it helps you regroup. And get to where you need to be. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊 Ben.
4:03 is that the vette from the hoonigan video that dropped the other day?
Edit: went back to check and YES IT IS! 1200hp twin turbo
i noticed that too, super cool
Hell yea it is lol I noticed it right away
How does this channel not have a million subscribers? The content is amazing
That Honda really is becoming a Icon, good on you Short Ben. I keep watching your gridlife videos and looking at the RX8 I got on the driveway, maybe one day.
sell the rx8 and get something else lol. an Rx8 is not gonna do anything but blow up on the track lol
@@kuya_mike7813 and I care about your opinion on my car because?
@@jayharris5460 just a suggestion....
@@kuya_mike7813 just a reply.
The RX8 still alive?

I follow dustins channel as well he also makes great content. It’s awesome you guys are competing against each other.
Yeah.....I am liking the Gridlife content.
Love this channel and being paired with Dustin is a great co-lab 👌🏼
10:13 you should try blasting Eurobeat- I hear it adds an extra 50hp!
cant wait for the sti contents! nice vid as always
This is one of the best produced youtube channels for car racing. Love it!
Ben: *puts wheel inside curb*
Dustin: "NANI?!?"
this video was so fun to watch! hoping for the future vids to come sooner than later!
The trash talk between Ben and Dustin is funny 😂
As always, this channel never disappoints.
Keep it up guys.
Awesome video. I really love watching the slo mo corners
Guy's I can't get enough of your videos. Keep it up
Man love the videos great work
The collab we didnt know we needed
I've been waiting for a new vid keen to watch it
Patrick is a awesome driver... Did wonders with his stock S2000 and now with his FK8 CTR.
If Colorado is considered the “west coast” then I must be living in the Pacific Ocean 💀
I'm from CA and thinking the same thing lol. I've been to the raceway and Colorado Spring (beautiful place btw), I'd consider them definitely West but I'm not sure about coast. Maybe he meant that since the event attracts people from the Western states, not entirely sure.
i feel like colorado is mid west
this is awesome content, props to valvoline for putting $$$ into this kinda stuff. will run val for now on
Damn. Really solid story telling. Great great work as always!
These videos are always so awesome guys! I knew you would dust Dustin 😂 your civic is insanely fast, but an S2000 still got you! 😜
You guys are awesome, thanks for the new vid Ben! Been watching Dustins eg build, sooo good!
Man I'm in a country and in a financial situation where I can't even get moped but these videos really cheer me up.
Nice collaboration w/ Dustin. Love this channel
Very nice video's guys, well done. Love to watch them all.
Been waiting for your upload. It sure did not disappoint.
Loved Dustin in this video!
Finalllllllyyyyyyyy I love this series, I can't wait for every episode to come out.
A bit late but what a pleasant surprise. Love the content G&G.
I look forward to the weekly uploads. Keep up the great work guys!

Very cool video! The win was well deserved against Dustin. Too bad for the class 2nd place, pretty sure you could have pulled it off 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Civic looks good Brotha... good to see you guys living life.... the DREAM!
Man I love these videos
Serious question: Why would he prefer the dual exhaust setup on the s2000? Couldn’t he lose some weight/gain some balance by running a single out the passenger side? Or does it not equate to much of a difference?
rare parts clout lol
Sound limits maybe
Never disappoints with the quality you guys put out. One of my inspirations for filming
what was that stutter when dustin was saying his hp numbers? is he around 190-210hp?
Stellar editing as always guys!
Awesome video as always. Keep it up guys.
Looks really fun there, party and all
the new livery is sick!!
Man, you took so long to release new video but it's definitely worth it!!!
Great production.
Ahhhhhh i see a MK5 GTI going at it on 4:00 !!
Wow I really thought the s2k would smoke the civic tbh, the fact that they're so close is crazy, I knew they handled well but I didn't realize they'd keep up so well
Another nice Video to watch.. great Channel . Im just wondering,
what Oil Viscosity, is used in Dustin's S2000?? And in ur K24 built?
Looking forward for the next Honda battle⚡💪
I'm a huge classic car guy, and am building a 65 mustang from the ground up

It‘s at the wheels ✌️
It's whp but that's still way off what he should have. Literally bone stock S2000s has around that at the wheels.
@@Programentalist And that's exactly why I find that weird that his car, for all its mods, is THAT far down on power.
So is this the really reason Dustin is building a civic.
Thanks, I haven't seen this yet but now you've ruined the video.
@@michaeljames191 Don't read comments before watching a video, Internet knowledge 101
It was the top comment smart ass
No, hes a youtuber, hes doing all of this for fucking content.
@@fredericoespinoza weird...
holy shit Ben, i dont think you said K-swapped once in this video. well done
Amazing quality with amazing people
Great content G&G fan for life
Stock car, a Grand national, S13, that spoon S2000 with that amazing bumper, mia. What is this? Amazing cars.
This was an unexpectedly good collab
I love this series!!!!
A properly built civic beat a spoon parts bin S2000 is an A++ in my book. Awesome job my guy.
As always. Great content!
5:11 It really just blew o's out the exhaust-
Burned fuel in form of the smoke... The fuck else gonna come out of exhaust
@@CL9k24a3 it blew circles out the exhaust. ofc smoke is gonna come out...
Civic needs working back diffuser real bad and also another rims that has better aero :)
love how there's also a NASCAR stock car that's going around the track
190-200hp? stock dino at like 210? did his bolt ons take away power or did he dino it in a higher gear im really confused.
Hes probably talking wheel horsepower and Honda goes from the crank which would give you a higher number than from the wheel.
@@az_3kgt714 no im also talking wheel. At the crank its more like 240. I guess it depends on the type of dino
@@AdonisGaming93 yea that has a part to play to. I know mustang dynos are called heartbreakers for a reason.

Good stuff champ, racing is life
Pause at 4:48
That is exactly Ayrton Senna's time on Branch Hatch once!
The Civic looks SO good out on the track in its new livery.
At the end of the day as long as you have fun and gain new friends, that's the essence of car life (plus get more powah and go faster 🤣)
Dustin is so underrated! He really puts everything into his work! His editing skills are out of this world. His heart is so big and kind!
I can't stand him. After he straight up _BUTCHERED_ a Mugen SI, I was done with him. He's just another spoiled ricer, imo.
You are wrong. What a shame you are missing out.

I actually love what he did. We will just have to agree to disagree on that.
I like Spoon Racing but Love J's Racing
I wish I could meet these guys. They seem like genuinely super nice people
Ben Focus on winning your class!! Win your class=beating Dustin. Team Civic here.
Lmfao the part where Dustin in thr stock vs that bucket seat, big difference.
i love these videos keep it up!
Early squad reporting for duty
Let's go
Awesome vid guys, keep it up! Just wondering what kind of speed you reach on the banking? Cheers!
nothing quite like a little friendly competition

7:14 Hol Up, is that a NASCAR Stock Car? Are those even allowed? If so what classes?
i liked before watching it because i know its gonna be good
Great content! Its really inspiring!

the civic looks so good out on track now that it has a proper livery!!!
