READ THIS PEOPLE - The individuals that are hating on Hoonigan lately regarding advertising and product placement and overall content…Everyone of you have no idea how difficult it is to survive as a niche business in California. You obviously have no idea how close our economy is to collapsing. Not to mention the entire company is mourning the loss of their founder all the while all you can do is hate and turn on said Company like uninformed rabid dogs. We as citizens of the United States, are going through a major recession pricing for all soft and hard goods are up across the board BY ALOT! Including payroll / insurance / credit interest, etc. The Dunning - Kruger effect is out of control. If you want Hoonigan to survive you are seeing them live week by week trying to do so. Everyone is so quick to turn on each other. This is when you need to support your fellow man and women. Never forget this fact, the current climate in this country has shown its face that it wants nothing but for us to turn on each other. Let’s support each other through this dark time.
Well said mate, california is an ever increasing shitshow and the hoonigan boys and girls are doing well to keep everything hoing an continuing to give us content! Fuck the haters and keep doing your thing!
Taking my 305 out and putting it back in was fun, we left the 700r4 in the car and we had a winch mounted in the rafters. Lifted the engine straight up and rolled the car backwards lol
@@slorbonmyknorb777 I don’t think the content is bad, I think it’s just a lot have changed since the OG era, yk DT buil biology, it was a lot more content but with less production, and i get it, it’s mainly a business but now it’s more like a tv show and not a youtube chanel, and we’re missing that
Well, before it was primarily overall approved by Ken Block, and had videos of him alongside. But since he passed, they've been left to run with their own ideas and lack the professionalism Ken brought to the channel. So it's understandable everyone is getting frustrated with them.
Anyone watching this with just basic/mild car repair knowledge, don't cut the front end off your car, you'll never get it back on correctly nor safely, it'll never pass an inspection again once you've done this
Hert posted about this on his channel. He's moved on to other projects. There's nothing to say he won't be back now and again but I doubt we'll see him as a regular any more.
Hoonigan is a relatively small company. There usually isn’t a lot of room for advancement and raises in small companies. So folks usually don’t stick around for long, they need to go where the money is. Hoonigan has always had a rotating cast and crew for that reason. Not a knock on the company or employees, just how it goes.
@HOONIGAN KEEP MAKING CONTENT LIKE THIS. I feel like we just watched something out of the old donut garage, but with different characters. I miss the builds. I'm tired of the TvT. I see you heard about the camera shakiness, and you killed the response with Gary. Keep doing awesome stuff ❤ I'm watching everything but TvT rn.
It would be a hassel to try and build a plexy back glass but I bet that back hatch weighs a ton, of course this helped in the weight distribution but could be a good weight loss area to focus on.
Considering I couldn't watch the 1st two episodes past a minute without feeling sick, there's not enough time to keep this build successful if enough people also get sick and stop watching it.
7 minutes before car even got touched. 45 seconds later a eBay ad. Then later a 58 second welding ad plus the two 15 second ads I got right after that I got this was a minus 10 minute video. Nice, y'all are getting good at this 😅 Edit: love seeing that civic you built for such a "good friend" go to waste on that 4 post. I bet he would have been wasting it away in his ownership as well 👌
Given that you have a lift….Given that you completely re placed the entire front suspension. YOU COULD HAVE installed the engine trans…..from under neith the car since you have that lift
Correction: Water is not conductive. It is the salts in the water that are conductive. At all times it is not the water conducting electricity. Water, LIKE AIR; is an insulator. (in terms of electrical conductivity) Fucks sake. I get this channel is just an advertisement vehicle for wheelpro but damn.
@@KyleClarkk Again an incorrect statement. Also "minerals" lol. Salts. Electrolytes. These are conductive when solute. The H20 is not and can never be conductive. But hey. Most of the people today can barely read at a 6th grade level so I probably shouldn't care that people run around thinking water is conductive. Have at it yall.
Hey uhm. So you could mount the rad in the back, get a little more weight out there.......... And uhm, make plenty of room for a crank mount procharger ;)
Solid axle is NOT a disadvantage for drifting. The only disadvantage it has is that irs is more adjustable. Some of the most famous/popular drift cars are solid axle. Ae86 much?
Gotta remember this is an offroad guy who knows nothing about cars. And it's the leftovers of Hoonigan. The key mechanics and builders are gone too, Dan and Suppy.
@@tinystar3010 I know lol. Been pretty disappointed lately as I’m sure a lot of us have, but people like Scotto and Gary should know that lol. I actually just met Dan at drift Appalachia, was pretty cool after watching him on here for so long😂
@@naufalkusumah2192 solid axle is superior for putting the power to the ground which is why drag racing used them so heavily, for drifting they work great. The only reason you don’t see them too much in professional drifting any more is sponsors want new builds and the only new cars with them are trucks lol. But look 5-10 years ago… Vaughan and rtr were dominating in mustangs, and they were all solid axle. Then in Japan, 86’s were pretty much the go to drift car aside from 240’s(180’s/Silvia’s), and to this day are still considered one of the best drift cars to drive. Hell there’s still one being ran in either fd japan or d1, it’s a blue and white levin with a jz if I recall. Also having done a bit of grip driving myself, the only real reason a solid axle is a disadvantage is the lack of adjustability in comparison to irs. Well, that and packaging lol. Plenty of solid axle cars handle really well lol it’s all in the setup
@@naufalkusumah2192 if it was such a disadvantage these 3rd gens wouldn't have out handled everything in their class like they did when they were new and wouldn't have had the road racing success that they earned. They're still commonly used competitively as road race and autocross cars because they handle so well. As for how solid axles are for drifting, current FD champion Chelsea DeNofa has a good video on his YT channel talking about the live axle set up in his personal Fox Body Mustang comp car that I recommend watching.
I genuinely hate watching every single third gen build get botched just because y'all know NOTHING ABOUT THEM. They make premade EVERYTHING for these just gotta look. Even a full IRS swap is out there. Y'all drive me entirely ballistic.
Hey now you have to find replacement genders you should have just remove some bolts and the front clip would have come loose then you could have kept the look but with a tubular from end.
Dude, all of these build series are so good, everyone has a different car they built and I'm super pumped to see the main event!

EXACTLY!!! i couldn't of said it better!!!
Darren and Gary, the duo i didn’t know i needed.
This Vs That garage cars would actually be a great idea.
Super stoked that DP is on the build channel love his work!!!! Can't wait for the next episode!!!!
Let’s go Darren love the build bud. I see you as a dark horse winning the grid events. Good luck bud keep rocking! 🤘🤘
2:19 I appreciate the editors continuing with the hit maker on clap/hi5 tradition 😂
Idk why, but I love the hit marker sounds so much 😂😂😂
Thank you guys for sending help to film this series 🙏🏻❤
As a fellow 3rd gen owner with a LS swap.... it's actually amazing how well a ls fits in a 3rd gen camaro
LS is tiny man they fit in Miata’s all day
great choice in body and style. i love a irock as well father had a white one. back in the 90

Hope they're paying you by the word bro
The meat riding is crazy😭
Careful, you may choke if you deepthroat too hard.
Nice to see a quality 3rd gen build. Give me inspiration for mine
Still waiting for you guys to properly build some group b inspired rally cars, the kind that block dreamed of as a kid
This is turning out to be obe of my fav build. Its looking great Darren !
this is the duo we didn't know we needed
I love how Gary’s messing w/ stuff in the yard 😂
Taking my 305 out and putting it back in was fun, we left the 700r4 in the car and we had a winch mounted in the rafters. Lifted the engine straight up and rolled the car backwards lol
Darren knows WTF he’s doin, great job. 🤘 edit plz do this vs that on these builds!
Love these builds
Thats a well calibrated eyecrometer
Ron's ordering a "differantial" on eBay at 8:13
Dude this is fuckin awesome! this guy is NOT fucikin around with the build holey shit!
Wasn’t grid on sema? That was last week i saw this car finished in Travis pastranas chanel
They've been slacking maaaassively on their videos, channel as a whole has gone downhill for the past 2 years

Gary and Darren Makin big moves to be be grid leader's 😅
Gary should be a requirement for each of these builds
Uncle Gary be eerrrrwhereee
Great series
Great vid guys
Darren is a badass and so is this 3rd gen. Y’all just find anything to complain about. 440 tsp is gonna be rowdy
Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't the rotors be swapped, Driver side to Passenger side? Based on slotted design
I notice that too. Or is the camera mirrored. 😂.
Cooling vein direction is what you go by. Bear has their slots going in the opposite direction of the veins. These rotors are on the correct side.
" I don't know shit about cars." GD I love some King Gary content!
The real question is: did Daren or Scotto do it first? 7:10
Dope I use to live in Ridgecrest
My favorite build besides Vins ls bmw
Why is Darens left arm considerably smaller than his right arm?
Coming along much faster than Scotto
Tectonic plates move faster than Scotto's builds 😂
Did you drift a semi or did you drift with a semi? I'm confused.
The fan base seems to be turning on Hoonigan. Scary.

man i got here quick lol
Is hert going to be in another who hoonigan video or is he gone completely? and what happened to Jon Chase?
Hert posted about this on his channel. He's moved on to other projects. There's nothing to say he won't be back now and again but I doubt we'll see him as a regular any more.
Hert quit Hoonigan and doing his own thing. Jon quit a while back like 3-5 years ago. It’s been a minute

everybody wants to diss bmw til they want their front end like a bmw lmfao

Finally an episode of this without that nauseating shakey camera work.

Kinda funny seeing an expensive version of a build and battle drift Camaro lol. Maybe next year they can do an even more expensive drift Camaro.
Next year will be a this vs that off road Camaro

"you know what's not frustrating? ebay motors" lies bro lol they got nothin unless you're looking for OEM parts lol

Remember when this company was actually good.
Now it's just another corporate money grab garbanzo
How do you think they get money to pay for all these projects?
@@adamjulian_drifts the point when right over your head. Yes money is needed for projects, duh.
Selling out to corporate greed isn't though.
Sir..what do you think funds bigger projects unicorns and dust?
Hey now you have to find replacement genders you should have just remove some bolts and the front clip would have come loose then you could have kept the look but with a tubular from end.
Didn’t they already build two of these. Build and battle and the 632 Chevy crate motor. BORING
I know it's trivial but...if the Camaro ISN'T an IROC, then it's not a Z-28. It would be an RS model which came with the 305 rather than the 350.
Every trim level had at least one 305 option.
First
The dude has as much charisma as a soggy cardboard box. Glad Gary this there to make this watchable.

LFG parson said I can’t record this shit and work at the shit time so hoonigan said , say less! 🫡 Gary to the rescue
