The Finale Of My Adventures In Japan...
Рет қаралды 49,704
Күн бұрынA month and a day in Japan. It's time for me to go home to Los Angeles. It's been fun but the summer is coming and Japan is not the place to be during those months. We pick up this final episode right where the last one left-off at the Chan-Oka Honda Meet. There were still many cars to go over and I provide some insight on how I feel about West Coast Honda style/culture being translated to Japanese Honda builds. After the meet, I head to the parking lot to give you guys a look at one of the coolest Mini builds ever before heading over to "Built By Legends". There, we get an in-depth look at their ongoing Spoon Sports concept EG6 Civic build and try to understand what the whole purpose of the project is for...

is amazing to see how the japanese car culture apreciate your job for the honda culture Joey. the amount of invitation to see many projects, private builds and shops that a small amount of people get to know. keep this amazing project. i think already have 10 years or more following your job. salute from panama.

@@Sevencastle I have a DND wheel on my car and I had a DND quick release. They’re just cheap Taiwan made parts. DND has great customer service, but horribly made parts. I’m ready for a new steering wheel, but I drive my eg once every 7 months so no need to switch up asap.

@@Sevencastle no worries! Their steering wheels aren’t horrible by any means. Just not the greatest. I stood on mine and jumped on it and I’m a heavy dude. Didn’t bend or flex. DND’s quick release on the other hand, was reaaaaallly bad. After a month of driving with it, it had a ton of play and would shake like crazy when driving. Thought my wheel was going to fall off. Switched it for a nrg quick release and my car felt smooth again which was weird. But no worried! Rather have you invest in something worth the money long term vs buying two times.

I found your channel and The Chronicles after buying my DC2 this past October and consuming a lot of Honda content on YT (the algorithm really funnels what it thinks you want to see until you retrain it). This series and your previous videos are such an inside look into Japanese shops and the people involved that it would be really hard for someone on a trip, or even myself living here, to replicate. It's a true testament to your years in the industry and experience. Very cool and earned. And I agree with what your girlfriend was saying about you showing the Built By Legends car - I've seen it featured here and there and as it progresses but it was cool to hear your take on it since your opinion has weight (Larry covers everything, you specialize in Hondas). Coming from Nissans and drifting and finally delving into Hondas, I really appreciate the extra details and explanations you include. Enjoyable watches without any extra drama. Keep up the good work!

as always love the video been a sub almost since the day you started the channel. it's great for us Honda guys to see it behind the world we wouldn't normally get to see if it wasn't brought to Us by you. you do fantastic work that's the whole reason spoon wanted you to cover that car. Larry Chen, while he takes great photos, his Honda game there's nowhere near the same. I don't know if you seen the Dogtown documentary but they were interviewing guys that said they lived the life through the skaters eyes even though they lived in the Midwest through the photographer stories and pictures that's how I feel I'm in the midwest myself and will probably never get to Japan so it's a treat seeing such great cars and stories
