Larry is carrying the hoonigans during quarantine

If you are good at what you do, you need no advertising. Word of mouth is all you need. Awesome guy with awesome cars

Filipinos and Puerto Rican’s have similar car taste!

been here before this channel was created, in the hoonigan channel that was a lot of fun. and then this channel was created so Honored to be a Filipino seeing this kind of builds in the US . Number 1 Fan here in the Philippines Larry Looking forward to see you here! More Power!

This is why I can't find a classic corolla. This guy has most of them

Filipino here, it's nice to see this kind of car culture🇵🇭

Very Nice! My dad had a Mitsubishi Lancer that he built to full Rally spec for an ASEAN Rally in 1983. I have fond memories of riding with my dad for test drives

Back in the Philippines where I used to live in Laoag city, there are few of them running around the street whether stock or riced. Good times 😌

This is awesome bro...I had a 77 Mitsubishi Celeste (basically a Lancer Hatchback) back in the early 80's and I can tell you that Dennis's Lancer sounds exactly like my old car...Thanks for bringing back good memories Larry...

As someone wrenching on their DSM daily, I can tell this car is the culmination of many years of love, dedication, and skill. These guys love what they do.

Love these old smog freedom builds! These look amazing and are so unique! Great job as usual Larry! ✌😎

“Back in 1977, someone was driving this”...on their way to see Star Wars!

Wheels on the Starlet are Advan A3A's for anyone wondering

Sad they didn’t even acknowledge the 2nd gen Toyota pickup

We appreciate you Larry Chen and Hoonigan AutoFocus , i hope you can feature my car one day in the Philippines

Had this exact ‘77 model lancer, blue. Lowered, watanabes, 1600cc carb’ed goodness and a stainless exhaust. Awesome little car, drifted like crazy in the wet. Still miss that car to this day.. that kp61 is super clean btw!

I am proud of my countrymen, grinding there asses to earn a living that to them it is a hobby and passion in cars. 🇵🇭

Larry with the stockpiles of content 👏thanks guys

I miss my 87 dodge Lancer. Wonderful 300hp 350lb/ft Tq, 2.2T FWD disaster. But it was so much fun to drive.

OMG. This video totally made my day. Thanks very much for shooting this vid. Much respect to those who do this. Yes, what's not to love about speed. But, to have a JDM restored and built properly at the same time --- man. Never realized how awesome it would be, being part of this "subculture", until I picked up a resto myself. Much love and mo' powah! :D

My very first car was a 78 Mitsubishi Lancer just like this featured car. I even had the same Pioneer head unit in mine.

proud Filipino here. can't wait to see you here in Philippines larry.

MUCH LOVE FR THE PH! 🇵🇭

Cool, the Colt was my first car in high school. I bought it for 500 dollars to learn how to drive manual transmission, tons of fun memories. Thanks for the video.

More of these, please. Thank you so much, Larry.

ive had a 4 door 1200cc 1978 mitsubishi colt lancer for about two years and they are so fun!!! alot of people turn there heads when i drive past!! and very cool to see that people like him are still doing up older cars !!!!

I bought one of these with blown engine for $50 and put a japanese stock replacement engine in it and new clutch, tires, radiator, wheel bearings, etc. It got 40-45 mpg on the highway. Unreal gas mileage. Drove from San Fran to Tahoe on 1/2 a tank of gas. The manufacture claimed highway mpg was only 28-30 mpg, which I always thought was weird that it was so underrated.

Proud be Filipino because I my self restored my Dads 1972 Toyota Corona w/ 2R 1200cc engine. Nice video & looking forward to see more old school JDM.

About 15 years ago I had a four door '78 Dodge Colt that I bought from the sketchiest dude for $300. I never registered it, we used it to drive around the back alleys every now and then for a laugh, and eventually I sold it on to cover rent a few months later. It was pretty fun, the PO put long spring shackles on the rear to lift it, he said otherwise it would bottom out on bumps if people sat in the back seat. It had an old school fiberglass racing seat for the driver for some reason, despite being otherwise stock so far as I can remember. I kind of wonder who has it now.

Is 90 hp the new 1000 hp? "I can put my foot to the floor every time"

0:48 Hey guys Larry Chan here, welcome to Hoonigan AutoFocus we are focusing on... Autos

Thanks Larry very cool post love these old lancers takes me back to my teens and they have big rallying history here in Australia

This episode reminded me of my '73 Dodge colt I used to own back then. With a 1.6 lt.Saturn engine and I installed a 5 speed trans from a Lambda car. It runs so good and I missed that car. However, this lancer has a 1.4 lt. Astron engine here in PI. Remembered driving one when I was a teenager. This episode brought fond memories during my teenage years and my old 2 dr. Dodge colt. Thank you Hoonigan for this great episode!

Amazing car!!! I used to own one with a 4g63 turbo from a 1986 Starion Turbo . It was a lot fun!!! Greetings from Puerto Rico 👊🏻

What a humble and happy guy, was a pleasure to watch.

Those car mats reminded me of my dad's mitsubishi's mirage colt. We had those on it as well. Too bad he's not here anymore and so is the car. Greetings from the Philippines!

My father had one, I remembered we were having this roadtrip and it was raining heavily. there was flood and we just blazed through it with the lancer. Thats where my passion on lancers started and i bought a 1994 lancer (mirage) and slowly upgraded it , maintained it and its still runs like a 90s lancer and i love it

Kumusta ng mga Pinoy sa shop na!! Great video Larry!!

Please Film more video's of the older school JDM coupes. :) Thanks for the the hard work.

as someone currently doing a build series on an on 77 Lb lancer (nope, i don't know what im doing...) pretty much a 4 door of this... this is a very, very satisfying video ahaha

Larry Chen, videos of even the most tame builds are worth watching thanks to your superior camera work. And this owner/builder/shop owner is rad...not only funny but no b.s. when it came to discussing the (albeit low) power figures (e.g., the turbo engine being built of the green 'Yota, it sounded like he wanted to say something in the 'four' range but then reeled it in to the threes. No bull.) As always, thanks for the killer content & cheers.

I love old school JDM cars from the 70's and 80's...I love the Lancer and the Corolla SR-S is sweet ...awesome footage...the garage owner Dennis Aquino is a mad scientist!

Had a 1980 Dodge Colt RS hatchback that I just loved, right up until my sister-in-law blew the engine. Manual, very fun, handled great.

I'm proud of you. These old vehicles will be happy to be restored as clean. I'm real Japanese man lives in Japan. Thanks for JDM lovers all over the world.

In the Philippines we call that model lancer bar type because of tail light and there is also L-type tail light

I don’t know why but it’s a Filipino thing to own a 70s JDM. Especially in HI and CA. All well kept and performed.

My dad has had his Colt Galant since 86. One thing I gotta say about the car is it's bulletproof. Its been running forever the odometer even stopped working.

Dennis is AWESOME!! Such a 'Bundle of JOY!!... most 'Pino's' i know in Canada always FRIENDLY!! Old CARS Are Great! I Still Have my Original '99 Honda Civic Hatchback!!...nice Job Larry!!

In 1976 i bought a new lancer ,the same year i was involved with local young farmers club one night we had organised a talk by a local farmer ,Andrew Cowan who won the east african rally for mitshibusi in a Lancer

please do visit the Philippines Larry, will be waiting for you to see the car culture here.

In 1989, my brother and I won the 24 hours of the Pan Americasn game Rally in my country. We used this same car. Camshaft, Rear end, Webers, Hella lights 900. 4.72 rear end with a 4 speed. BTW, we won in our category inexperienced novice

Yo this guys shop is nuts. OG ultra

I like that kp61, the white Tacoma looks nice too 👀

Larry your videos are ruling. Interesting content and pretty photography. I love the old cars.

I had 2 76 Dodge Colts in 85, 86. I drove from Mn to San Diego. It got 35 mpg. You could drive 40 MPH in a snowstorm and pull the ebrake, get it spinning and gas it to pull of a 360 never leaving your lane. I love that car.

Super nice guy, its always awesome to see the old stuff looking so good

I love this car. It was branded a chrysler lancer in Australia. A friend of mine owned one in the 90s that was an ex rally car. It had a 2.6 astron fed by twin side draft weber carbs. It was never driven on the road but he had a farm to drive it on. It was amazing.

I used to have a red Lancer L-type and drove it around Manila in the early 80's. I miss that fun car.

Jewel, complete jewel.. Man that's craig.. Always giving us the best..

This brought a lot of memories of my dad. Buying a 1974 Dodge Colt. Because his MG was getting up there. And it was hard start in the cold. So plus his Ford Galaxy was too much on gas. So he sold them both. And went to Brookfield Dodge. And bought a brand new 1974 Dodge Colt. In 1976. We moved from Massachusetts. To Texas from Texas to Hawaii. And I was watching sports car racing. On the World Wide of Sports. And they had the race from road Atlanta. And they had a Dodge Colt. In the GTU class she ran well. But she lost her engine. Then about a week later they had the East African Safari Rally. And they had the Lancer. And my dad was watching with me. And I said Daddy. There is our car. Sadly the car lost the reverse. And she began to rust. And daddy sold her. To a body man. And he fixed her. I dont know if survived. But in 1977 I became a rally fan. And a sports car fan. Sadly Daddy is gone. And I am a man of a certain age. And a dad and a grandad too. And still a rally car fan. And Sports car fan. Not only of the IMSA Sports Cars Series. But also the Michelin Pilot Series. I hope you do a video. On the Meyer-Shank Acura GTD. And L.A Honda World cars. Thanks for the video Sven Thanks for the memories.

My very first car was a 1978 Mitsubishi Lancer 2 door just like this one. It had a 1400cc engine though. Mine even had those 2 big Cibie lights in front. I also had a Pioneer KP500 in one of my cars back in the day.

LOVE IT!!! My First car was a 73 Corolla Coupe.

I used to work for Denz. Lots of cool cars go through his shop.

Actually in love with that carolla wagon, haven't actually seen one until now! 🤯

The old 70s and early 80s jdm cars are the best looking Japanese cars looks like i need to hit up the Philippine homies like this guy when i do a older Japanese build this guy is awesome thank you again larry with bringing the best content as usual

the edit is so good. the owl cuts and all of it really. well done bros

Larry Chen obliviously needs to go to Puerto Rico it's definitely old school JDM heaven out there.

I’ve got a 1976 Mitsubishi/dodge colt that has a 3sge BEAMS motor/trans in it! Great to see these beauties being recognized finally 👌

My gosh, that shop is heaven on earth.

My favorite hooligan series and also my favorite outro song

I love the style and quality of cars you find! Keep up the good work

I am from Arkansas and have a 1978 dodge colt!!! Awesome to see another one!!!😁😁

Dennis there was a 4G32 dual carb down-draft set-up available in the 70’s, I had it on my Galant.

I love love love little late 70s Japanese runners like these

I already love this place ❤️

Love the Pioneer KP5 streo cassette player and that is period correct upgrade !

My buddy used to have a Mitsu Mirage from the 80s a hatch with the eagle talon (then) motor in it . Was a good time. I remember these cars. I love all the old JDM stuff

The first car i raced here in the US on Dirt track was a 78-83 Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Saparo. RWD 2.6l Mitsubishi engine. All worked up, headers etc.. Was the best car i ever raced. Wish i had kept the motor. I have pics if interested.

What a great attitude, and a ton of sick cars. Thanks for sharing!

Damn I love the engine bay. i wish i could build mine as well.. so clean..

Oh, I always loved those little Mitsubishi Colts as a kid, they rusted out so fast where I lived, though. :)

I love the quality you guys put into all your videos it really drives me to soak up every second will you guys spread about your knowledge however the 4g63 is one of the most underrated engines of all time it was in production for over 30 years a lot of these new Millennials if you might say that are learning about this stuff now I think it would be beneficial if you guys would educate you're very good at your videos

Yes sir, Larry definitely come to the Philippines, you'll be surprised of what culture we have here AND you'll see very unique builds here trust me.

Also i live in the UK its ultra rare to see any Corolla's left here due to it being such a wet environment but the other day i saw a 1989 Toyota Corlloa GTI-16 and it still goes faster than a lot of New Hot Hatches in the UK lol

OG LA A70 Lancer, absoloutely magic bro, makes me miss the LC Lancer I had 20 years ago!

Love these old Mitsubishi's :) made my day

🔥🔥🔥 work of art bro ! Love it bro

Love rally cars

My first car was a 78 dodge colt, in red and white and red interior, I miss that car so much, living in Wisconsin you don't see these anymore they all just got used up. It was a great little car, unfortunately I got T-bone coming home from work one night, the car was totaled. Too sad.

So cool to see old school jdms. Had a te72 as my first car with a 2tg engine and a host of mods. Miss all my Corollas. So much soul compared to my gti...lol.

I have the same blue point box. I have nothing else to share thank you for your time

Wao love this we used to own one in Puerto Rico back in 89

Those Rally fogs look like Cibie and the bottom ones look like the MMC fogs both rare finds.Kudos to the owner he looks super cool

the last dodge colt I ever saw was one a friend of mine had he turned in to a drag car with a full tube frame and a blown 440 big block . it did low 9's and dipped in to the 8 second range but he had to load it with Nos to get it there . I have always wanted one but not many of them survive. I want to stuff a 3 rotor in one and make it a drag car there so small even a factory 3 rotor would get one in to the 9's .

i like this guy ... hes gonna put his heart and soul into an 82 carolla wagon. i doff my cap to you sir.

The Pioneer radio is awesome too..

I'm loving these cars. Reminds of the car scene growing up in the Philippines. The players on the street back in the day were Toyota and Mitsubishi. Mazda only had the Familia and none of the rotary cars. Datsun only had luxury/family cars. Honda didn't enter the Philippine market until late 90's-2000's. The real rebels would tune their Ford Escort Mk 1 (aka Mexico) , Opel Ascona, or Holden Torana.

Cool, my first car was a 71 Dodge Colt with that same engine. I eventually swapped out the 4spd with a 5 spd from a later model Mitsubishi with the larger engine(2.6L 1979/1980 Dodge Challenger). It bolted right up to the 1.6L with no mods.

A heap of people I know had these in Australia. My best mate had a rally car version. Full cage, webers, big suspension. He used to send it on big speed humps! Then he'd drive it to gigs with our band. Kurtsweil keyboard hanging out the window coz the car was too small to fit it inside. LOL
