Not really. The rear end needs tuning. Way too much bounce. Needs about 10% more bump stiffness and about 15% slower rebound and maybe slightly more preload
If he is a record holding drag racer he should have went up against Blake Wilkey driving the Scumbug, the only reason he won was because the driver did not know how to launch a Bug or that you have to wind them out before you shift.
It's funny how we travle to places like this and think how beautiful it is there. And those people would come to America or the uk and think how beautiful it is here. Roads we can get form town to town in mins not days. It's so great to watch your videos and how amazing it is to see you convers with the locals . The people are always so nice and dressed so pretty. Thanks for the views.
The RAV4 is NOT STOCK, far from it he utilizes fully custom fabricated Bilstein Rally inverted coilovers in the front, and in the rear he's using Bilstein triple bypass coilovers. Without these modifications the rav could not even go over a 6-inch bump, without becoming unstable. Is 8 inches of suspension travel in the front and about 9 in the rear, he's losing out on 3 to 5 in of suspension travel vs the Baja Bug. Bulls are great fun cars!
That Rav4 is sick! Also, coaching someone to jump the arm drop is so lame, fortunately, the scumbug driver was noble. Also, he smoked that 3rd run! Love this series!
Man now that everyone has left hoonigan, I wonder what’s going to happen. It’s really about the people, not the content. Like top gear once the hosts left, so did the fans…
@@davidpugh8772 it’s more like who stayed? Everyone is gone. Of recent people still seen in videos, Ron, Vin and Scotto have left. I don’t think there’s any OG people left. Obviously the older people have already left like Dan, Hert, etc.

11:17 not Brad throwing his hand up in annoyance at the late leave like that wasn't the shittiest hand drop 🤣 Dunno who he's got dirt on to get to keep doing them
Holy shit he finally figured it out for the third race! Maybe the only time I've ever seen him put his hands up without snapping them down like something burned him before he could get them up. He does it like that more and he'll stop fucking up races
I love that rav 4 but could be him lettin off the gas to keep it close be anymore obvious? Ok watched second race. Yeah the rav 4 is way faster butcant take jumps so nvm race makes sense now
In the intro "stats" card you list the Rav4 as having an NA engine but at 6:05 it literally says on the engine Turbo as well as Steph saying so. Is there a delete that wasn't mentioned or is the intro card wrong? I thought I was tripping but I looked back and forth a few times now as well as looking up the 3S-GTE.
I wish Steph would have finished out his build videos on the rav4, he gave us a couple suspension build videos, teased the idea of an engine swap, then left us hanging.
That Rav4 coped so much better than I expected, dude put work into the simple but effective setup and it paid off. Bug's obviously made for it, and shouldn't of lost; but... Sorry guys that's skill issue through n' through. 🤣
Steph Papadakis Explaining Things is top-quality youtube. Loved watching this. Once the scumbug driver figured out the aj foyt technique though, it was in a different class than the rav4
They really dropped the race before the rebuild series with Zac has finished?? I didn't think it could get any worse than the Coalmaro video series ordering but this is it 😂
bring back build and battle
Dude the channels about to die vin and hurt left and alot of ppl are abandoning ship now kens gone and the company sold out
Enjoy watching the death throes of hoonigan man.
Dude, Scotto doesn't even work there anymore
I heard that but havent found nothing saying that scotto left but yeah the brands is silently on life support.
@@erikgrondin2253 it's on his IG and his LinkedIn account
I remember the original build series on scumbug, makes me happy to see it rippin’ again.
Remember when they forgot about the Baja 1000¿
BAJA UPDATE
Clearly coming to the end of an era.. Hope the departing guys will start something together
this is a great race! steph really knows exactly how to drive his rav4 and scumbug can really take those whoops.

Steph was a record-holding drag racer back in the day and it shows.
If he is a record holding drag racer he should have went up against Blake Wilkey driving the Scumbug, the only reason he won was because the driver did not know how to launch a Bug or that you have to wind them out before you shift.
I love his youtube channel so much tbh.
@@Meccanico208it’s almost like it’s only RWD going against an AWD with a locked center differential. Yeah must be that he “can’t launch it”.
@@1216jimmyz Look at his starts, wheel spin isn't the issue. He just has zero reaction time. Its like he's starting from neutral or something.
Facts. These kids don't even know their history.
I love that Rav4 way more than I should!!
Such a cool build. The perfect balance between weight, power, cost, suspension travel, and parts availability. Sort of like a rally car.
I have a 18’ Rav 4 and I like it a lot real good vehicle!!
This makes me miss the old 99’ 5 door RAV4 that I had, they really are great little vehicles
Love that wing on the Scumbug. What a great-looking car!
I love the 3SGTE sound "Former SW20 Mr2 Owner but damn that buggy does sound great.
Played the Hoonigan Playlist in the crew motorfest and absolutely loved it. You guys are incredible 🙂
Steph is such a drag racing icon. Awesome to see him do this. 16:09
wow! that rav4 did very well with so few mods! ill like to see it upgraded to be a little more crazier.
I mean it was engine swapped.
Few mods? It has a ton of mods. Go back to the part where they were discussing it, even the shocks were custom valved.
@@sepg5084 Bypass shocks on a RAV4 is wild, that thing probably has $5k worth of shock/strut lol.

As a 97 rav4 owner, this fills my soul
Steph. What a legend! Glad to see that man in a Hoonigan video
This was fantastic. Love that Rav4 guy asking for the hit after winning.
i think he was nervous cause that last part of the track forced him to slow down, and that's the only reason the scumbug caught up
"that Rav4 guy", that's an insult to Papadakis! Have some respect on that man!
@@joealex65 yeah, he is a legend after all
He knew they were telling the Scumbug to cheat haha
“RAV4 with big turbos” bro did you even listen to anything Steph said about that car
Toyoda ftw! Stoc suspension egometry and still moving throug those monster truck jamps! One of the best cars ever!

Kody is gonna take some work, gotta break him of that whole "rule following" thing. But there's potential here. That last pass was killer!
“I’ve never driven a bug” “I had a 66” - “I’ve never jumped anything” “I jumped my silverado”
As a Rav 4 owner, I'd never thought I'd see a Rav on this channel.
Steph is an icon and I love his love for that little RAV4.
I remember Papadakis drag racing a focus back in the day now drifting and now this vs that damn let's goooooooooooooo
What an epic day. The build I was most excited about. Still being used to put smiles of faces. Racing an old friend A absolutely beast builder!!!
That Rav4 is sick! Also, coaching someone to jump the arm drop is so lame, fortunately, the scumbug driver was noble. Also, he smoked that 3rd run! Love this series!
Should of waited for the other video after it was put back together to show this. The rav video with Larry and padakis was fun

Awwwww I like Gary. Sorta.
who all left?
@@davidpugh8772 Hert, Suppy, Nads, Vin

Dude driving the bug finally didn't chicken out going into the whoops in the 3rd race.
I always ff past the wheel and interior section but when Steph is talking I listen.
BRAAAADDDD!!! So good to see him back on the channel
That rav 4 is perfectly balanced car!!
We love to see Brad back for these original builds
BAJA UPDATE!!!!!!
One of the best series you guys ever did
Was not expecting to see Steph and the Rav. That little Rav is a dream machine!
Never mind scumbug, that little RAV is punching up big time.
Guys keep doing this race, especially with scumbug, well done Cudy🎉
That Rav4 is fun to watch! Who knew 😆
May i review Kens Hoonigan Mustang guys? I just saw your ad. Bros I would make hella videos with that baddie
congratulations cody!!! just grew into them big boy pants so kool man
Steph is a good guy.In the last race he let him pass cause they will be there until today and racing.Facts.
Man that boy misunderstood "tree him" to the very last
Steph killed it 🔥
Them: Jump the light
Him: Okay totally
*doesn't jump the light*
I love that rav 4 but could be him lettin off the gas to keep it close be anymore obvious? Ok watched second race. Yeah the rav 4 is way faster butcant take jumps so nvm race makes sense now
Papdakis racing is an OG in the motorsport world. Love the guy!
Papadakis the legend!!!
Never thought I'd look at a Rav4 and be like "wow, that's rad."
I totally forgot that those two built Scumbug 🤯 So happy to see it back.
That RAV4 got some Juevos!
way to go Scumbug! EMPI is happy to help Hoonigans in need for air cooled speed!
In the intro "stats" card you list the Rav4 as having an NA engine but at 6:05 it literally says on the engine Turbo as well as Steph saying so. Is there a delete that wasn't mentioned or is the intro card wrong? I thought I was tripping but I looked back and forth a few times now as well as looking up the 3S-GTE.
It also mentioned a 4 gear manual is better than a 5 gear manual😮
@00:26 rav4 is 2.0L turbo. Not n/a
This was the driest This vs That I have seen. Kinda feels like theyre getting tired of doing this.
that final scumbug run through the whoops was the best run of the season!
Steph papadakis definitely showing his wrecker holding drag racing experience on that request for the hit lmao
Hell yeah the Rav4 is sick!!!
#HHIC loved every one of these guys and I can’t wait to follow them on their own channels.
I think Wilkey was driving on that bonus race
May God Bless all of us who loved Hoonigan. Goodbye Hoonigan.
Blake is smart as hell when it comes to off road builds.
I love PapaDa I got hang out with him at AEM back in like 2006 , Such a good dude. Awesome! PAPA busting the street racing moves
I'd love to see a serious called "This vs. Cleet" where Cleetus McFarland brings some of his cars and races people XD
Lmao Brad! “Lasted 5 years” - then you watch the rebuild episode. Hahahahaha!
This RAV4 looks clean
It’s so crazy how small the 1st generation RAV4 is compared to the current generation.
The regent! NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH Club.
As a 3rd generation rav4 owner, great to see a victory
bring back daily transmission
I find it hilarious they graded independent suspension better than long travel suspension for an offroad race.
I wish Steph would have finished out his build videos on the rav4, he gave us a couple suspension build videos, teased the idea of an engine swap, then left us hanging.
3am in Australia coming off a straight 17 hr drive thankFRIK For the hoonies.
done mess with Pappa !! Papadakis Racing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so this is why we got the Scumbug resurrection video!
Nice match-up. Smooth Vid 🤙
past 5 video's feels like now hoonigan is some privleged kids top gear.
Sees guy crash his jeep -> Hires young guy to drive…..the new hoonigan😂😂😂
When Blake is already there, why not have him drive?
that reaction to the center lock diff was gold lmao
Joy brought to my day! Great to see Steph there also. Good racing Cody. 👍🏼👍🏼
Scumbug needs a driver mod lol😂
That off road beatle though. No joke
id love to watch a series of kody and scumbug racing offroad
I can't wait for the next " Why x-person left Hoonigan" its a becoming a trend in my feed
That Rav4 coped so much better than I expected, dude put work into the simple but effective setup and it paid off.
Bug's obviously made for it, and shouldn't of lost; but... Sorry guys that's skill issue through n' through. 🤣
Y’all gotta get me on this show I’ll talk like jay leno at 9pm . I work and don’t stop working . I’m getting in there to commentate
That little Toyota launches!
oh dope the bug is done? no reason to watch the project garage videos when the finished product is right here lmao
Steph Papadakis Explaining Things is top-quality youtube. Loved watching this. Once the scumbug driver figured out the aj foyt technique though, it was in a different class than the rav4
WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT IN THE BEGINNING CODY?! JEEEEEEEZUS he was Sunday driving in them whoops. I just knew cody had this in the bag but noooope.😂😂😂
That good race 😅😂
They really dropped the race before the rebuild series with Zac has finished?? I didn't think it could get any worse than the Coalmaro video series ordering but this is it 😂
Think everyone can agree, it's good to see Scumbug back in action after it's long hiatus.
#makehoonigancarsrunagain 😂
The real MVP is the FPV quad pilot
The 3rd race was wild, scum bug passed him while in the air 😮🎉🎉
The RAV4 definitely doesn’t have an NA 4cyl like the spec comparison says lol
I think hoonigan needs a revamp :)
Mbring back the og vibes
Sad to see Hert and Vin part ways, now Scott-O needs to find a good race driver.
Scotto is busy doing non hoonigan things now too
Thank you Steph for building the only interesting vehicle I've seen in this entire series haha
Epic race, Papadakis a true legend!
LMAO the fact that Papadakis is a legendary drag racer by default Scumbag shouldve at least gotten the hit every race.
Scum bug needs a driver mod 🤣
