Sweet vid! Sounds just like a super bike.... at 4:36 when the lights changed for a sec I thought there was gonna be a little drag race 😂... Just love that little S600...! What a sweet awesome driving road btw
I had a s600 coupe, the thing I loved most about it was the way it tucked its backside down when you accelerated. They used to say the engine would run for a lot more than 100,000 miles or a lot less than 3000 never anything in between, it always depended on how good the work was done on it. Thanks for sharing, bought back a lot of good memories.
The video I’ve been waiting for for such a long time!! Looks like the car is working 100%! Funny how these cars work at such high rpms; great sound but you think you’re doing 120 mph when you’re going 40 mph...🤣
Great video man, thanks for sharing, finally we see the Honda rev up on a scenic sunny morning drive. What a nice little ride this S-600 is, and you certainly don't need a radio in that one. Thanks also for showing the rev counter, sure is impressive how this little engine spins. By the way, it always gives me the creeps when I see you overtaking from the right, complete no-go over here in Germany, you never do that. Also nice to see a car with a choke to pull before you start. Reminds me of the old days when I was a young driver.
Looks like a beautiful morning in PV! I miss living and driving on the coast. They take a while to warm up, don't they. Two words for you: Koni Classics. If you can find them, fronts are 80-1865 and rears are 80-1866. Thanks for the ride!
I just binge-watched the whole build. You did a great job! I got my drivers license in '75 and really wanted a British sports car. I went to the local dealer and tried them on. They didn't fit! I'm too big! I don't remember the Honda sports cars back then. The Honda dealerships were more interested in selling CVCCs. I bought a 280Z and didn't look back. But I've always wanted a little sports car like the S600. I probably couldn't fin in it either! But it really looks like fun! You have some perfect roads to drive. And great scenery for filming! The sound is just amazing (you repaired your muffler - I haven't heard of that in years!). And from a 1000cc engine! Thanks for the great videos and the road trip!
The Japanese sure do make their cars differently than we do in America. Many of the most memorable American classics featured large V8 engines and were so long that feet were only just barely useful to measure them, and that's a hilarious juxtaposition next to this two cylinder chain-driven tiny convertible.
It’s a 606cc 4 cylinder that is not chain driven (unless you mean timing chains?). It was made for the car and not a motorcycle engine. It was high technology for the time with roller bearing crankshaft, DOHC, etc. When it came out it beat out Lamborghini for highest specific output.
Although it is made to rev, the sound isn't really what it needs to be to invite you to go to the higher RPMs. It sounds like it's trying too hard. I think that is exactly what you also described yourself, in an earlier video. The newer HONDAs, equipped with VTEC (like CRX, Integra Type R, and so on), do really invite you to go towards the rev limiter. But nevertheless... it is an awesome car to drive around in. But I'd personally would really use it to cruise around, enjoy the scenery, at low(er) speed.
Roy Brueren I enjoy it the most between 4-7k rpm. It’s cool that it can go higher but it’s not necessary unless you need to drive at highway speeds. It does sound amazing even at lower RPMs 👍
@@Jerod_Helt the gearbox and the shifting action seems incredible for a car from the 60s’. I have never seen one in Europe. Not even in Japan in fact but then I m there only for business trips. Maybe at the Honda museum in Motegi. Really nice car! Used properly!
the sound
That little motor has some serious pep!
this is basically the '60s version of those hayabusa swapped matas, but factory from Honda with that legendary reliability. definitely a dream car.
That's a sweet little car! It sure could benefit with a 5th gear.
You can install an overdrive from an MG!
懐かしいHonda“S”😲❗️
朝のドライブに連れていってくれて、有難う🙋🎌
Great!
And I can hear the sound of the back chains
In just 8 months from a mess to a nice driver. Very good.

This video should have 1 million views!
Awesome sound! I kept thinking you’d try to find 5th gear at some point!!😂

Engine sounds so good

Thanks for the drive around Rancho Palos Verdes.....Driven that road many times. Pretty smooth ride for such a small car. (rough road.)
Thanks for sharing your drive with us!! What a nice machine ❤️🚗!!

Lovely drive!
That engine sounds GREAT.

Everything great about classics. Thank you for this 👌
Awesome video, i cant wait to put mine together.
Excellent stuff! All that hard work paid off and you have a great result.
Murray Edington thanks buddy!

Gas and Displacement Tax in Japan ain’t cheap that’s why
It sounds awesome. Although I’d be afraid of breaking it!
Very nice indeed.
Cool‼︎
wow man i remember when you first started on this car its come a looong way
great job!
Great driving video. After all your hard work , what a great reward. I love sport cars, especially this Honda S600! Love your work.
Teryl Madlem thanks buddy!
whining and screaming sounds familiar...great job you done.
coolest car i have ever seen！
Oh hey it palos verdes!!
Its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
Nice drive.
Напълни ми душата!
Има и друг момент! Шапката на шофьора показва аеродинамиката дори при дъжд!
Fabulous.
I saw you eyebalin that Excalibur. If you decide to do one of those, I’m gonna unsub 😂😂
LOL!
Great sound just like a 550 super sport!!
I love this car
Me too
"How high can it rev?"
Yes.
Redline is 9500 RPM👍
Amazing video and legend car. Where is this place?👀💯
Great!
Gracias por el hermoso paseo!!!, se lo enviaré a mis amigos fierreros!!!
92.4hp/liter in a road car in 1964 ❤❤👌👌
It sounds just like a stock CB750.
And accelerates like a 250 :)
Even Before VTEC this thing *kicks out of to 9K RPM with just under 1000cc Engine* ....
Precioso¡ que bien suena que gozada enhorabuena¡
Curious to know what spark plugs you use and the normal operating temperature you get running all out at 6-8000 rpm. Thanks!
short gear box for this road!! i like micro car, i have fiat 126! this s600 is the best for perf!! you know rovin d1 et d2? 300kg car
great stuff! what part of California is that? looks beautiful!
I’m in Southern California👍
are these really chain driven like a bike?
Yep... here’s a link to the video about the chain drive on this car th-cam.com/video/zM1wGeo9tOM/w-d-xo.html👍
amazing :D
Since when were left hand drive s600’s made?
It was originally sold in Canada 👍
