I don't know anyting about Hoonigan.

 

These days (locally), I see LOTS of hoonigan stickers on mustangs. Which to me made me think its some American car thing. Didn't realize Hoonigan is import related. 

I generally like hoonigan videos, but they shout too much. 

I think they just get real excited sometimes. I mean, I think I'd be yelling too if I watched a twin-engined MX3 do burnouts while chained to a pickup truck.

Make sure to check out their Build & Battle series. They pick 2 teams of 2 people, give them $10k and 15 days to build a vehicle for a certain discipline. There is actual in-depth tech and there is no manufactured drama. A little bit of smack talk, but no screaming and yelling and throwing tools and fake arguments. They've done off-road and drag-racing so far, and right now they are doing season 3 with Gymkhana Grid cars.

Aweosme. Thank you sir. Will check it out today

Still living this one real time, never gave up. Should have gotten a Honda but whatever... I'm always two seconds behind.

Crazy how far things have come...

All motor record is in the low 9s on a "stock suspension" and high 8s on a nitro blend

SFWD is in the barely 7s

Outlaw FWD is in the mid 7s

RWD guys have gone insane both piston and rotary

I thought I was quick with a mid 13 sec car, but that was so, so long ago.

My Civic HF hatch (67HP 4MT), ran a 17.88  1/4 at LACR.  Took me two years to get that car to 14.9.  My fastest turbo CRX at LACR was 12.7.  Never ran faster than that with an import. Used to be fast. 

One of the best videos from Hoonigan is on the bonus channel and it's just a solid hour of Nads geeking out over classic Hondas at the Honda museum.
