So much fun and such an honor to collab with you guys!
@ALBO It was awesome to see your S2000 being featured on Hoonigan, wish I could see it myself in person one day!
Happy to see you in a new video with the s2k! Hope you doing good Albo💪🇯🇵
@Albo you mentioned that you have an AP2 Gearbox on your AP1 engine. What needs to be considered when switching the Gearbox? I also have an AP1 and would like to throw an AP2 Gearbox in
Many thanks in advance.
everyone complaining about all the ogs leaving but gary and micah have been around since the og burn yard days🤷🏻♂️ im all for this kinda content
People move on. The guys needed to take their careers to the next level and I can’t blame them. It’s cool that DDE now is based at their old burn yard/warehouse though. More fuckery at “The Block”.
ogs got their fame now they do their own thing,
these two where guests that took over and thats great,
this content i like becuz it shows what works,
They're the reason I'm still watching. Ones the undisputed King of the Man Line, and the other of the funniest MFs out there.
This was cool
I think alot of guys lost interest in where hoonigan was heading and wanted to do their own stuff cuz Vin even said the craziness just ain't apart of hoonigan anymore like what DDE is doing now he wants to keep with it! So yes I don't blame them moving on either specially if you lost interest! People miss the old content the fun! Not saying some might not find this fun It's boring plus Hoonigan had kept people in the dark about stuff I'm sure there are reasons why but sucks for the fans
We need more of this type of content, car culture! And Uncle Gary 👏🏽👏🏽
They need to bring back the s2000
Im sure they will bring a fwd version because thats what the world wants.
They need to make the S2000 R
They’d make it electric 😞
Nah they would make it look like the new integra 😂
Just buy one
That windy road overhead at 0:30 sure put a smile on my face
Nice to see @Albo in a Hoonigan video. This is awesome!
Hoonigan isn’t even hoonigan anymore lmao 🤣
Absolutely love everything about my s2000! From how it looks, how it drives to how it sounds!
So glad to see you guys collabing with Albo!
Gary and Mica are rocking it, people need to calm down about Hoonigan not being this or that anymore! I do miss Scotto buying five cars he doesn’t need because they all have different side mirrors
😂 accurate
The lil'tire squeek out of that cute Honda chase van made this entire video.
bro got the Spoon philosophy and I love it. What a great build, all parts working in harmony
Good to see ya Mr Diaz, and I knew Gary was a keeper when he did the Zulu dance during a burnout involving an RB. “It’s the song of my people”. Now that’s og.
Nice crossover with Albo🎉
I like how you moved to this style of content, I will miss old burnyard but this is pure vibe!
Glad Hoonigan still making content! Might not be the full crew but you can still feel the love for the cars!
Gary and Micah holding it down
Love Albo's S2000, ive beeen following his build since he got it.
Man I love the Japan content that’s been posted these past few days. I know everyone’s been saying they’re tired of the TvT stuff and here is some content that’s feels like a genuine breath of fresh air. But what do I see? I see these videos trail behind in views compared to TvT videos uploaded before AND after this.
It’s frustrating to see y’all put some quality content out and not see it rake in the same numbers of the content all the naysayers are saying they’re tired of. I can’t help but feel that all these folks who’re saying Hoonigan is dying (or died) aren’t giving you boys a fighting chance when this series is clearly showing that you are still dedicated to providing interesting car culture content. I may not watch all your stuff nowadays, but know that I still support you guys nonetheless. ✊
For USDM cars, the AP2 actually makes 10-15 more HP than the AP1 across most of the rev range, as confirmed many times on the same dyno. Honda started using a different HP measurement standard when the AP2 was introduced so its stated HP is not apples to apples.
ALBO doesn't know wtf he's talking about.. just like majority of the ap1 community, they think that the higher rev's give them the extra advantage. Just an FYI.. I can teach "English" in Japan if I wanted to.. ROFL!
I’ve owned a stock s2000 for ten years now, every winter I say I’m going to mod it but it’s so reliable I talk myself out of it by spring.
Get it supercharged you won’t regret it
It's way, way more fun with mods. Even just suspension mods and a square tire setup drastically improves it. But obviously a supercharger or turbo setup is on another level of enjoyment if you like speed.
This is exactly the type of content that hoonigan fans love. Me as an initial D fan loves it even more. Micah Diaz is keeping hoonigan alive 🤙🤙🤙
No, we loved to see how Hert broke someone's car, how Scotto buys another broken car that he will never repair, how Suppy and Brad built something rad, how Kikawa got mocked in every possible moment, Ron, Vin, and all the OG's that I didn't mention. How many many people got scumbaged into trashing their belongings in the backyard, and the list goes on and on. And of course how all of those people helped Ken make amazing movies!
That was a different time my friend that won't be repeated, time moves on and this feels like the old times with the chill vibes and a deep dive into the car and landscape@@romka_ind
@LEGITMISTER69 No, it doesn't even remotely feel that way, sad that you don't feel the difference.
I want to hear Gary's thought of driving on Hakone. But who's driving the third car at 11:22? 😂
lol wasn't expecting the Keijo clip at 0:53 !
Lol that anime was a unique one
I love this episode. Two of my favorite content creators collaborating together. Always like hearing more about Albo's car.
that Honda Freed casually following the S2000 11:21
This video makes me feel so justified in owning an S2k 🥲 it's crazy to me the amount of people that say it's overrated. I think those people haven't driven it in the correct environment and experienced it in its purest form while on twisty roads!
Sheesh albo didn’t expect to see you here sir! Love this collab!
Great to see Albo on Hoonigan! Such a beautiful build.
Small note, the AP1 makes more horsepower than the AP2 only paper ;) . SAE changed the standard of horsepower in 2005. Right during production years of the S2000, so when you compare a well running AP1 vs AP2 on a dynometer, the AP2 will make more whp and wtq.
expects in europe, where the ap2 engine is the same 2l ....
p.s.
f20c are not really bulletproof. they brake on the autobahn and honestly a prefer a domestic bmw. just works, once you ignore the oem service intervals. there is a reason why most people here in germany drive bmw's on the track.
whaaaaaat good to see you here @ALBO whaat and Gary @kinganytime out here .. whaaaaat
I would love to see you guys collaborate with Noriyaro and Sammit maybe hit up some shops too.
I got to take my R32 to Hakone pass with my friends in a Chaser and SC Alteza. Was such an amazing and fun day. Could've spent the whole day going up and down.
08:25 IS OFFICIALLY A MEME.
Wait, is wheel pros, wait. I mean, hoonigan actually listening to to viewers and putting out real content again!
Yes
So sick,knew you guys would come back strong!!!
Had my s2000 for 14 years now. Big wing with big Hoonigan sticker on 😍😍😍 2002 yellow ap1
I'll have had mine for 15yrs next month, it's definitely a forever car.
I've just spent the last year getting it track ready, mostly stripped interior with a half cage, no passenger seat, no AC, I've pulled well over 100kgs out of it over the years, still got way more I wanna do to it!
People who don't get them just aren't used to a car that doesn't have torque, which I get, torque makes things more streetable. But it's when you use an s2k for what it's made for, that you'll truly appreciate it.
2nd part of Hoonigan Gang trio to Japan continue.
Part 3 today! 3 more to come next week
God, I wish I were as good of a driver as that. Also, pinned by the official Hoonigan channel is such a bragging right
Finally something that isn't "this vs that"
We’re working hard to bring variety to the channel. 3 more Japan videos then Ice Race content coming soon.
@@TheHoonigans badass! Happy to hear it.
Best looking convertible sports car ever made by humans, the Honda S2000 Rocks !
Smooth Steering 101, Look at your horizon. Not the land/sky horizon but the furthest possible horizon on the road. Rough Steering means the driver is reacting instead of acting. Effing Great vid.
nice touch on the extra headlight like a FD3s
11:20 unexpected Honda Freed 🤣
Let's go for Gary getting to live out a dream! Hell yeah bud!
This was a great wee episode. Looking forward to the Bosozoku/Shakotan cars next episode!
Kaido racer* not bosozoku
@@alterior8869 Two sides of the same coin lol
I was lucky enough to drive an fd down this pass, amazing experience!!
Love S2K content!
This was fully a great episode 😊
I love the fact you guys rented the R34 from Omoshiro. I rented it a year ago, hopefully it treated you guys well.
One of the coolest colabs ever
Fantastic episode, wonderful convo.
Driving the roads from Initial D is one of my bucket list dreams
We have a musical road like that in Palmdale off of ave G
It's a shame the price of these scars sky rocketed. I wanted to buy one to out a 2J in it and after seeing the cost of them used theyre not worth it to me anymore.
Wow a car video good work guys
Yes it has long held the Touge Maou title but don't tell anyone prices are already insane & has only recently finally just started to ever so slightly shift back towards somewhat realistic price points.
Always interesting ro see how well the Honda S2000 V-Tec performs under 300hp. That 9000 RPM is impressive.
I feel like Hoonigan has lost its soul a little. I’ve been a fan since day one, and I’ll be a Hoonigan until I die. But the beautiful production and such just seems like all of the other automotive channels.
Let’s go!!!! More Japan videos! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
11:18 that van tho!
Haha i own a s2000 and everytime i give someone a ride they say the same thing “it feels like a go kart” 😂😂
does heat from the engine compartment damage/wear out the carbon hood without a liner?
GARY KING JR is baddest man around town an now hes moppin the streats of Japanese lets hear it for him
Albo on Hoonigan! Go Albo!
Thank you Micah and Uncle Gary ❤️👍🫶
Hoonigan touched japan 💛🖤
They have a song road in Lancaster and Palmdale California.
FUJIMI KAIDO ❤🤙
I hope to make S2000 video like albo
We really do need song roads here or whatever they're called. Especially for long ass drives.
Awesome to see the Albo collabs!
Sounded like Micah was doing a segment for Top Gear!
Amazing S2K 💛
Beautiful build
Northern California is beautiful. Shasta has snow year round 😂
Micah should look into destroked ls7s, they're regularly 8k+ RPM all day.
Why did hoonigan leave the Compton warehouse?
Hoonigan is no longer Hoonigan 🤷♂️ DDE THE NEW HOONIGAN
They just wanted space to do more stuff
Was wondering when this mashup would happen.
Vid idea this vs that the RB19 vs the hoonigan
Just realized the voodoo in my gt350 sounds identical to a Honda 4 cylinder 😂
1:45 can someone please please tell me the name of that beat?!
Sandstorm by Darude
not without first putting thousands of $ in parts. being in stock it has many shortcomings, this unit have around 15000$ invested. If you add the 25-30000, that ask the owners, for example in spain, you go near of 45000€ car
The guy correcting someone on pronunciation then immediately says "where we're at..." Lolol
"The S2000 is perfect for Touge", meanwhile Gary in an R34 GTR is glued to his bumper.
Albo needs more driver mod, he is pretty slow.
He literally just said it’s not all about power goofy 😭
@JippaJ. Ever watch Hot Version? If not, you should. The top two times are held by an s2000 and an FD with both posting the exact same time, the s2000 having less power.
@@danielbarajas7291It's not just the power though. Like Albo's mods on the car, his driving is very conservative. He isn't pushing the car hard at all.
I want the GTR Gary is driving!
Do they cross yellow in Japan like here in the US?
Hoonigan is cooking once again. But different
@11:54 Initial G
Between 200 to 300 HP is just the sweet spot to train us to be a better driver.. especially when the car only weights 1 ton..
This car is closer to 1.5 tons stock. about 2750-2800 lbs
Grassroots HOONIGAN let’s go!!!!!
Yes s2000 r the best hand down not biased because I own one I swear 😅
Guys, I’m off topic of course, but I still want to ask. What happened to Ken’s cars in the end?
More touge or drift content in Japan?
If the US installed one of those singing roads with the national anthem, I would avoid it like the plague 💀
F@%king awesome. "UNC" was on that azz of that 2k.
There is nothing like a S2K.
yeah the s2000 is the best, everytime on the arcade cab you just follow whoever the whole time, then just pass them on the last turn and take the dub
Let me hold those CE28s for research purposes
Cool video but also a lot of crossing the center line on public roads
I really dig Micah and Gary, bootyhustlers 4 life, but new hoonigan content seems really donuty. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, I like donut, but I go to donut for donut. I go to hoonigan for absolute tomfoolery and loud/fast/sick nasty cars.
That's like saying is hoonigan still relevant.
