I didn't know that the Hoonipig was going to be on display at the inaugural Arizona RADwood show last October. I was so shocked and delighted to see it in person. It's just incredible.
Man, such great content for only 17 eps in. You're on your way to the top Vin, so sick, particularly the driving content at the end. That Mitsubishi is on fire.
Larry Schumacher’s purple and white GT2 Porsche 911. One of the greatest race cars in the 90s. Plus how about that sick Lexus ES350 in the background, lol looks just like mine 😂, yeah Ron evo is kinda cool.
Killer as always, you tell a great story and every episode I'm learning something new without wasting our time with "so, after you watch me eat breakfast" filler. All my toys are slow, old, or old and slow - but you have gotten the wheels turning about setting up another car!
Your talent was being wasted at Hoonigan. I am really enjoying your vids. Also glad to see Ron too. All the best to the old Hoonigan crew and glad to see all of you doing other things.
I literally laughed out loud when you were talking about the 997 engine access/view. My 991 requires the bumper, electric spoiler, and probably airbox to come out to see what you see hahaha.
One of my favorite things about the NSX is the way the engine sounds, and how it completely changes tone once you reach the VTEC changeover (I got to drive a 93 NSX back in 08 or 09)
@@vin_tra it was more of the tone of the engine that changed, it went from a normal V6 growl to almost a shriek. Mind you, this was also about 15 years ago, and I’ve suffered a few head injuries since then.
Sounds like you really dodged a bullet with the GT3RS. Glad it wasn't anything worse. You've got some proper nice driving roads round your ends 🤩 looks like they're a whole lotta fun! It was great to see Ron hanging out with you in this vid. I do miss hearing from the guy, top geezer! Thanks for another cool ep of your V-log Vin, Big Ups man!
Hahaha damnnn I thought that I cut the right coolant line so that he could “ take care of it “ don’t worry I will be back ha ha 😂 Stroker heaven 😂 Love it
The algorithm has brought me to a few of your videos. I don’t have a fancy car myself (yet) but I really like the way you put your videos together. You’re doing awesome. Just subscribed today.
Dang Vin, showing off that command of the English language like a frickin orator! Also, the scenery with the fog.. aesthetic af, great time to get pictures.
25 years ago we used to meet at the in n out off Harvey before going up ACH (we watched them build that CHP station!) now it’s the home goods off foothill.
I’ve had tow drivers that good but maybe ONCE - this video makes me wanna go drive my buddies 7.23RS one last time before he sells it if I can - great car
Very great job man! For your next videos, it could be possible to include a pedal cam to watch your footwork please when you're driving? You have done this for a precedent video with the BMW on track. ;)
Hey Vin Love your content. You’re definitely the coolest guy on TH-cam. I saw you struggling to get inside your car because the door hits the wall. Put a pool noodle on the wall so your door doesn’t get damaged.
I've been trying to figure out where the instrumental that starts at 8:21 is from, that you've been using in most of your videos. Finally came to me it's Cool Calm Pete - Wishes and Luck. Haven't listened to him in a minute. Thanks for the reminder. Has been driving me crazy trying to pin it down. Revising Lost and Two A.M. 🎶🎶🎶🌌🌌🌌
Having driven dozens (maybe over 100?) cars worth six figures, which ones would you say are the best driver cars. Maybe pick three. If you wanted one street car, one track car, and one show car, which three would you choose? Another question, do you ever get super uneasy driving other peoples’ cars? I’m ALWAYS anxious, be it a car worth $10k or $80k. My cars are my babies and I think of everyone else’s cars the same way. I’d feel terrible if it got destroyed. Thanks for another great video! Here for the long term. 😁
This car is easily the best to me. It is so solid and robust. When i drive other peoples cars im like 10000% on edge and pretty careful but always thankful.
@@vin_tra yet another reason to desire a M6 GT3 RS. Haha. A buddy of mine let me take his M6 Jungle Green VF (Chevy) SS to PowerCruize in 2021, and it was one of the most nerve racking experiences at first. I expressed that to him, and he told me that it’s just a car and worrying about crashing it would most likely result in doing so. To focus on driving it and have fun. That’s what I did, and that weekend is to this day one of the best experiences of my life. Being towed around the campgrounds in sex swings (aka hitch hammocks) hanging from the back of an atomic green VE Ute was icing on the cake.
@AmeerAli-ex6ms OOOOOOH that's actually sick, did not know you could get that! But yea, man, that looked NOTHING like the numerous POV vidoes I've seen of these cars. Sick
The NSX is SICK!!! But Ron’s EVO is the BEST Car In The Whole Pack In My Opinion!!! Just has EVERYTHING done Right And Sounds Awesome!!! Glad you got lucky with the GT3!!! The Upgrade would’ve been sick tho!
Great bunch off friends, nice to see all the trouble shouting and the happy ending. Thanks @vin_tra for sharing that. Where is Brian?? Love to see @ron
Soooo nice when a car breaks it turns into a super easy fix. Not a sole goes through "repair anxiety", when a car breaks, is it major? Is it minor? Immediate stress relief when a repair is super easy.
I like Zach’s stuff and he seems like a cool dude, but by comparison his content feels like rich dude doing rich dude things, whereas Vin’s stuff feels more down to earth, car guys doing things we do or wish we could do.
I know your coolant hoses are pinned, but this is a great time to remind 996/7 GT3 & RS owners of why you need to do this. Betim is right - well worth getting these things on a ramp every now and again to have a check. They all old cars these days.
14:30 You dont have to race your cars Ron, especially if you're not the most experienced driver. You can still build the fuck out of the car even if you don't race it, all you my man Ron
tow driver is a legend stoned off his mind putting on a clinic hahhaha
Good ole tic tac tow
I miss Ron man
Same!...
We need a collab with them, like a once a month video kinda channel. I think I just miss the old dynamic of the hoonigan guys😅
Absolutely! He needs a TH-cam channel.
we love Ron + him casually driving that RS
What’s his TH-cam channel?
Ron’s evo sounds insane 😂😂😂glad it was a simple fix for the gt3rs🙏🏻🙏🏻
Some of the Hoonigan content was great, but what you're making is better than MOST of what Hoonigan put out.
thank you!
I agree, most of the Hoonigan stuff was a bit too... hectic for me. Whereas this just has a nice vibe.

That car was shaping up sick. Carbon doors and sequential trans make me so hard.
Definitely gotta feature it on here… might have something in the works!
I approve of Subaru content. Also you can't go anywhere with an Evo owner and not pop an intercooler hose. It's just the rules. I don't make them.
Shout out the tow truck guy🤙🤙the good ones who understand stuff are definitely hard to come by😂😂
"wow you are such a sweet boy" is wild 💀

HAhaha real recognize real
Sweet recognize sweet
No Diddy 😖
Vin: "raving about how reliable a GT3RS is"
RX-8 in the background: HEHEHEHEHE
Hahaha he had his moment last summer…
No better way to test a cooling system repair then go sit in LA rush hour traffic the day after the repair!! Lol

This channel makes me want to scrap what I'm currently working on and take my car out for a drive with the homies. Every dang time.
"The fact that it's leaking immediately after driving, I think it's a good sign"
When that's a good sign you know things are rough lol.
😂🙃

Yeah, the NSX was, and still is the underrated Sportscar. Not because of it's performance, but it's longevity and the focus it has on the experience.

Really love the content you're putting out man. Exactly what I love to watch and gets me excited to go drive and build my own stuff. Keep it up
Great to see Betim back to himself after his near death health scare.
It was so quick too he’s a super human
what happened to him?
Had a major health issue. But he bounced back and has been crushing. Life is scary

Nice bullet dodge on the coolant leak.

“ take care of it “
don’t worry I will be back ha ha 😂
Stroker heaven 😂
Love it
My 987.1 cayman s has a single mass flywheel and love how the idle sounds!

This style of content is sick! Really liking the videos
soo nice to see ron !! i missed him for real...
chill vibes, cool cars. best part of my Thursday mornings
19:03 that carbon is looking so f'n good. Can't believe he went that crazy with it.
Also we all know subie drivers favorite vape flavor is banana and coconuts. lol
Just a whole new experience with every video, dude, thanks for the cool vibes.
Dang Vin, showing off that command of the English language like a frickin orator! Also, the scenery with the fog.. aesthetic af, great time to get pictures.
25:07 Missing the sound effects at the fist bump that Ive become acustomed to hearing Vin!
Rons car is insane! Still sad about the gymkhana grid series. I am not up to date on the 86 but the Evo and E36 are really top notch builds!
25 years ago we used to meet at the in n out off Harvey before going up ACH (we watched them build that CHP station!) now it’s the home goods off foothill.
woah. was not expecting to see ilia's face in this video. always good to see a familiar face in random places... even if it's YT.
I’ve had tow drivers that good but maybe ONCE - this video makes me wanna go drive my buddies 7.23RS one last time before he sells it if I can - great car
Love the relaxed paste and the awesome content. Another Ace video. Compliments! 🏆⚡️
I'd be more worried if The Pig was literally anywhere else... She's in good hands.
Guess it's time for some higher compression.
I have a 997.2 S and just had a coolant leak fixed. Yes they did drop the engine.
Good to see Ron!
some smoking tire vibes from nsx drive.
dope content!
Your videos are killing it Vin!!! Please keep it up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good storytelling as usual !
Great stuff Vin !!
Ron should keep the Evo for life... It's a menace, it's perfect
As a dealer tech…I’d rather work on a late 997 engine than a 991 or 2. They just get progressively more buried😭😭😭
Good morning Vin. Have a great week bud. The vlog is killing it bud! 🤘🤘
The universe doesn't want us to have nice things.
its nice to see ron again in one of your vids. miss the old crew.
Love the law and order vibe

Nothing better than the top floor target parking at Angeles crest.
love seeing the boys hit the canyons together
That NSX looked like it had steering feel for days! Curious what did that.
Sounded amazing as well. But I'm gonna say it--the 360 is just...better.
Made a HUGGGEEEE difference. Unfortunately there is no definitive “better” in most cars, they are all fun and just provide a different experience
@AmeerAli-ex6ms OOOOOOH that's actually sick, did not know you could get that! But yea, man, that looked NOTHING like the numerous POV vidoes I've seen of these cars. Sick
I had the same reaction when I first seen one of those hose clamp tools😂

I read this comment and was like what? Then at that moment the question was asked on the video lmao 😂
I’ve been a BMW guy for a long time so it’s nice to have another group to take the heat, ya know.
Wow. Than evo looks insanely fast! Cool vid altogether
Solid vid! Makes me want to get into the canyons. Super impressed by that tow truck driver. Could tell he’s not from NY
Man your gt3rs is one of my favorites Porsche ever since i seen it in nfs hot pursuit lol
What a line up of whips!!... And an RX8.
More Sunday drives please 😁😁😁

That meets you have in that mountain is like the Daikoku of LA
You really need to try a gen 2/3 raptor on a Goosetune. Not for the power but for the trans tune more than anything. Game changer
I had one. I loved it. But it was so unreliable.
Happened to mine on Father's day a few years ago too. Such a bummer.
I didn’t know Bud Bundy owned an NSX 😂 Seriously though, love the content.
Flatbed put so much effort not to damage anything. Vin loads the car, sccrraaaaappppeee........ LOL
I saw that RX8 with Narita dogfight sticker! 😍
I feel blessed that I don't have a GT3RS to break 🤣
Just a few dozen other cars to worry about 🙃🙃
Ask Mister Zachary why he didn’t release an episode today. Yours and his are always a 2 for 1 special
Ill give him shit for missing a day for sure

Always insist that tow truck drivers pull from the factory tow hook and NOT the control arms!
Dude Ron's evo is fucking wild holy hell that's fast
That MR2 and exige needed some screen time.
Glad to see that Betim is looking healthy. Still can’t believe his heart attack story he explained on @thesmokingtirepodcast
Still reliable the car is 15 years old and probably is at redline as much as it's idled.
