Yeah but you have to actually pay mechanics and that hurts the shareholders bottom line. No can do. Line must go up. Cheap content only. This Vs That forever because it costs them nothing to produce .
Scotto talked on Matt Farah's podcast about why they dropped the build shop, the sort of projects they had suppy and grim working on just wasnt what they wanted to be doing with their time post the death of Ken
I get what you're saying but the scumbug isn't the best example lol. Remember all the finger tight bolts and that one nut that was on backwards after bad daddy brad built it?
I'm so deeply saddened that we will never get the hoonigan we all grew to love. I understand the boys have to move on with their lives and careers but man, daily transmission really made the bad times good. Thank you guys for everything, god speed
This entire video is the embodiment of what Vin was saying. No real content, just Ads. The content requiring any investment is clearly done for. Shame, I’m glad I got to watch daily transmissions back in the day. RIP Hoonigan.
To be completely fair, I don't want anyone to leave yet because I still want signatures from them I want to see what they're like in person But some have left to pursue their own passions But gary and zach have that fire Is energy all the time
Hopefully the OG crew is reading all these comments and they get back together under their own brand that no one else owns or has authority over. They know it’ll succeed and not have to answer to anyone.
When I lived in Cali when I was 17 I had a 2180 CC in a 57 oval window rag top. It was yellow and it was so bad ass. Wish I had it now. Porsche alloys on it also. Absolutely loved that car.
Cant beat aircooled VDUB content. Brings everyone back to their youth and 1st afforadable car which we were forced to learn how to fix cars with... Valve adjustments, timing and carb tuning. The good old days
@@1slotmech Hoonigan was about doing sketchy things for fun and finding a way to get paid. Now its about a parent owning company outsourcing all work to sell & promote products. Tell me I'm wrong.
13:06 don't move on we have something to talk about here, I noticed that they bored out the top of the cylinder heads to where the head studs are in the combustion chamber. Wouldn't that cause a sealing problem, you would have to put sealant on the studs and even then you might have a compression leak
No compression leaks here. ACVWs seal by pressure, aluminiun head against cast iron cylinder. It sounds weird, but it is made since the 70s and they don't leak
Not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but I get the sentiment. Escapist fucked up by firing Nick, it just happened to work out in the way that the entire video production team really rallied behind him and threw their middle fingers up as a unit and created Second Wind. It was swift and targeted. The downfall of hoonigan is slow and as far as I know, they haven't "forced" anyone out, and the OGs don't seem to have any plans to reunite under their own independent banner, atleast not for the time being. If WheelPros had canned Scotto after Ken's death, they probably would have all rallied together and done the same, but that's not how it's gone down.
"Can we please have more rigged races where we can literally hear the hosts saying things like 'just keep it close' or 'it would be more entertaining this way' instead of actual races"
I absolutely love the scumbag. It's one of my favorite cars that They've built and I just wish I could have a scumbag t shirt and have everyone from Hoonigan Sign it. I would die to see this car Go to the Baja 1000 race.
I'm cracking into rebuilding the engine for a decade (+) old 56 oval window Baja project my son & I were supposed to do 😊 At this point just going to do it on my own, High hopes low budget 😂
Got excited when I saw a video that wasn't a "TVT" from Hoonigan, but this was kind of a let down. I miss the days of Danger Dan, Suppy and Grim doing builds.
I remember when Hoonigan built and worked on cars in house. Letting all the good mechanics go was a mistake.

I thought it was cool. A way of featuring other guys in the car world.
I'm sure they can still work on "regular" stuff- but why do that with an Air Cooled VW, when you have EMPI right around the corner?

If Zac leaves Hoonigan, I’m going to be seriously concerned about Hoonigan’s future
from the OGs, on camera, Zak and Ron are still left (Scotto will be even less on camera)
To be completely fair, I don't want anyone to leave yet because I still want signatures from them I want to see what they're like in person But some have left to pursue their own passions But gary and zach have that fire Is energy all the time
I’m just waiting for it to drop. I did hear Ron is helping Vin with his new project so I’m not sure if he will be around still.
They'll all dip out eventually. Big corpa now
He is kind of the only reason im still watching tbh
No Kikawa, no Nads, no John Chase, no Danger Dan, no Suppy, no Grim, no Hert, no Vinny, less Scotto... look what they've done to my boy😢
no y2k
Hopefully the OG crew is reading all these comments and they get back together under their own brand that no one else owns or has authority over. They know it’ll succeed and not have to answer to anyone.
Everybody is off doing their own thing. Things will never be the same again. Just how it is
@@palmtree476 yeah I know this already I’m just saying they know if they ever wanna reconnect under their own brand they can.
they probably have non-compete clauses that prohibit them to do something similar
BAJA UPDATE!!! Hell yeah. Those were some of my favorite videos. Y'all were having such a good time. I loved seeing it.
crazy that the scumbug is one of the few Hoonigan cars they made into a hotwheel considering all the options they had.
That was just an 18 minute advert for EMPI with zero work done on the car.
As a Bug owner in Europe this shop tour was awesome! Always wondered where EMPI came from. Now I know! ⚡️👏
Scum bug is going to be a beast again. Can't wait to see it rip that off road course.
Visiting iconic shops in SoCal and bringing projects along with is one of my favorite parts of Hoonigan!
When I lived in Cali when I was 17 I had a 2180 CC in a 57 oval window rag top. It was yellow and it was so bad ass. Wish I had it now. Porsche alloys on it also. Absolutely loved that car.
Had no idea that 034 was owned by them! Love in depth dives into vendors like this, and love scumbug content ❤️🔥
Great to see EMPI still doin their thing after all these years. I remember feeling special cause I had the only EMPI wheels in town.
I never thought I would hear BAJA UPDATE again! THANK YOU!!!!!
Scumbug is the car that got me into Hoonigan. This makes me happy.
RIP HOON
Gary had that Mr T energy while saying RED lolol
The constant Timmy memes warm my cold dead heart. I grew up with him and so they just makes me smile.
not a scumbug video, more like an update. video is a shop tour of EMPI.... def losing hope for the ''Company"
"Heart hurt" that make me laugh so hard 😂😂🤣🤣
Cant beat aircooled VDUB content. Brings everyone back to their youth and 1st afforadable car which we were forced to learn how to fix cars with... Valve adjustments, timing and carb tuning. The good old days
Been waiting for the "BAJA UPDATE!!!" for a long time.
Time to say goodbye. It was a lot of fun while it lasted. Thank you!
❤this is, by far, my favorite shytbox build. I even own the hot wheels truck and bahabug combo set.
It’s good to hear Baja update again!
Seeing Scum bug get the love after this time is dope. Cannot wait to see how it rips.
Ahhh, been waiting for that from Zac, feeling that BAJA UPDATE in my soul, I had to rewind it and crank the volume, neighbors prolly heard it.
Permatex and Miller Welders are made by the same company.
The more you know 💫
Loved the vid, I've still got my first car ('69 bug) which I've had 25+ years now
SCUM BUG IS THE GOAT OF PROJECT VEHICLES
5:59 dude looks like jack from from The Santa Clause 😂
My favourite project by far. Heen waiting for ages to see more on the skumbug
This video is further proof that the Hoonigan spirit is dead.
Sketchy unsafe slapped together cars are a thing of the past. And the guys are 10 years older and Ken is dead, things were going to change.
Correct

It's starting to suck that everyone is leaving Hoonigan. I think scotto and Zak are the only ones left?
when the exhaust on my impreza rotted off I had a stainless one put on header back, its been solid and beautiful regardless of weather and salt
love seeing Yokohama Geolander G015 All Terrains on that Dune Buggy around @10:25

Good to see EMPI is still doing it
BAJA UPDATE ! never gets old
Zac has no clue how much i needed that baja update
SCUMBUG!!!!! Thanks for the BAAAAAJJJJAAAAAAA UPDATE!!
Need to make block industries with all the og’s and have the old stuff back, with some of the new like this vs that
1st head is a mild tuning head too, stock valve sizes are 35,5/32mm
how long be for more of the OG are gone?
I've been waiting for Scumbug's triumphant return!!!!
The OG’s should create what they want together and basically classic hoonigan but under a different name.
Just feels like I’m watching one long advertisement
Hoonigan sold there soul !
Hoonigan is on the way to become The Escapist of automotive youtube. All of the talent got driven out by the corpo side, and the channel is dead.
Not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but I get the sentiment. Escapist fucked up by firing Nick, it just happened to work out in the way that the entire video production team really rallied behind him and threw their middle fingers up as a unit and created Second Wind. It was swift and targeted. The downfall of hoonigan is slow and as far as I know, they haven't "forced" anyone out, and the OGs don't seem to have any plans to reunite under their own independent banner, atleast not for the time being.
If WheelPros had canned Scotto after Ken's death, they probably would have all rallied together and done the same, but that's not how it's gone down.
Wasn't the original "BaHaa UpDatE!" Zac's first Hoonigan road trip?
Bro Zac got the best whips 😂 that chop fire boyyyy 🔥🔥🔥
Can we PLEASE get a This vs That special with all the Hoonigan project cars?!
Can we get something other than this vs that for once
No, hoonigan sucks now since they sold out
@@Don_Johnson521 I just want to see the Donk, Kei truck, Duramax Camaro, etc in any form!
"Can we please have more rigged races where we can literally hear the hosts saying things like 'just keep it close' or 'it would be more entertaining this way' instead of actual races"
what even happened to kei truck, there was a video not too long ago about working on it. Then NOTHING.@@gamblerspec
I absolutely love the scumbag. It's one of my favorite cars that They've built and I just wish I could have a scumbag t shirt and have everyone from Hoonigan Sign it. I would die to see this car Go to the Baja 1000 race.
I'VE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR MORE SCUMBUG CONTENT
I'm cracking into rebuilding the engine for a decade (+) old 56 oval window Baja project my son & I were supposed to do 😊
At this point just going to do it on my own,
High hopes low budget 😂
Lol, you need to let Forza know that you are doing an engine swap 😂
KB43VER but HOONIGAN is RIP!
BAJA Bugs!!! Love the scum-bug content
That red Variant in the background!
I would love to be able to afford one of these nice vw bugs. Very nice black one.
Woooo hoooo new shirt new shirt new shirt!!! My old one is getting really chatty
I love loosely disguised infomercials. This is the content that the internet lacks.
Is it possible to build a bug now without EMPI? I wish I still had either of my bugs or another one now. Life just says nope, cannot afford it.
God I love Zac
WOOOOOO! BAJA UPDATE!!!!!!
Well this was a bit of a nothing burger..
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A BAJA UPDATE OH MY GOD
Rip Hoonigan
Bro honestly I'm just waiting for another video of someone leaving hoonigan 😔
I wish they wouldn't have sold. Rip to og hoonigan
Best build on the channel.
SCUMBUG is a classic!!!!!!!Shitcar and SCUMBUG are the best car's in the fleet!!!!!!
Holy shit just a single one of those PMOs on my 13b 6port NA build would be perfect lol
Today is Hoonigan Day bruh
An old beetle is one of those cars you cant loan to just anyone. Not suprised they siezed the engine in it
Might as well change the name of the channel to “zac’s garage”
I’m focused on that OBS dually in the back at the start of the video 🤌🏽😮💨 that’s a gem
As a vw lover and owner i fucking luv this episode
Want Scumbug in my driveway
McFarland is going to race his rail in TVT off road
I did not realize that the Scumbug was this famous, at least 500 million people have seen it!
Dude I been waiting sooo long for this video.
the more people that leave the sadder it gets. just not the same.
Will wheel pros be the end of og hoonigan. Lets hope Zack aka Dr chop will not be letting us all down and go soon.
09:54 Hat tip to the audio engineer ;)
Long live the SCUMBUG!!!
80% commercial 10% hoonigan.
idk who chooses the music but they always nail it
I hope JP will be next year often by you guys . Like his Beetle is still by the corner ❤
RIP Hoonigan :(
Yes they are really good parts at empi but so difficult to order from..😢 took me ages to get my pmos for my 911
Finally scum bug is back
Garage garaaaaaaage
Slap a subie engine in it XD
17:10 Bearings? We need bearings?!
This would have been better as two videos. One for the shop tour and one that ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU WORKING ON THE CAR.
Got excited when I saw a video that wasn't a "TVT" from Hoonigan, but this was kind of a let down. I miss the days of Danger Dan, Suppy and Grim doing builds.
Only a matter of time before Zach and Ron move on… wouldn’t be surprised if it’s within the year. #RIPHoonigan
