We brought the EK9 Type R out to one of the best Honda events in Japan...

- Summer is here which means it's time to put the EK9 away for the season! Haha, yes that sounds strange considering most enthusiasts put their cars away for the winter but if you know Japan, you understand how harsh their summer season can be. It's just way too humid and hot to be outside which means I'm taking my ass back home to a slightly-less-hot Southern California. I've been here way too long so it's time for me to go back to catch-up on regular life...
With me being gone, there's no reason really to have my EK9 CTR outside so it's going to stay in a nice comfy warehouse in Osaka. Before we do that though, Yasu and I decided to load the car up on a tow rig so we could safely transport it 7 hours to the Kanto-side of Japan. If you've followed me for the last few years, hopefully long before that, you know that I usually end my spring journey in Japan by attending the Chan-Oka Honda Meet. It's a smaller event, but the quality definitely exceeds the quantity of Hondas inside this up and coing event. This small lot in Saitama holds some of the best Honda builds in Japan! There's a particular style that these enthusiasts follow and it's very much the more 'USDM', West Coast style of building Hondas from the early 2000s. These guys get all their inspiration from magazines like Super Street and Honda Tuning from back in the day. They execute the style faithfully and I can honestly say that they do their research. The Hondas here are legit.
Yasu and I joked around about how my EK9 wouldn't fit in at this event because it's almost too "JDM" in the way we put it together. It's very much a car styled faithfully to what I grew up understanding as a Japanese Honda build but with some of my own personal touches. Does that mean my car is USDM-styled or JDM? The lines definitely get a little blurred there...
Oh yeah, have you ever seen a Lancia 037 Stradale before just sitting on the street while its raining? Me neither. Until now of course...
Enjoy!!

Some people are addicted to drugs, gambling, etc.. but Joey is addicted to miniature cars 😂
Better than drugs 🤷🏻
Facts $300 a car 😳
The L2P line-up is always just so spectacular. The absolute epitome of taste and parts selection. Perfectly executed, every time.
Casually seeing that red lancia is crazy I’ll probably never see one in my life time
Imagine having unlimited funds for all of those diecast models! I would've snatched all of the EFs, EGs, and EKs.
Definitely but you’d also need unlimited space lol
@@THECHRONICLES lol very true as well 😄
WOOOWWW that white EG ,cali plates ... Bought me back, we did them like that on the east coast .. we still do . Jersey to NY
“Gives your integra eyeshadow.” 😂😂
"Drive safe. He doesn't know what I am saying." 😂
I absolutely love that Mugen CRX. Those builds are amazing. Worth the 7hr trip?
I’d say it’s worth it.
Not during summer, though, is what you mean. Haha!
Love that 037 Stradale tuned with all the rally car goodies. Would be nice to compare this one with the original Stradale you mentiones the owner has.
That grey Eg doe🔥🔥
Those model cars are amazing
its like you never left los angeles at that meet
EK LOOKIN SUPER DOPE ❤❤ , GOOD WORK FELLAS
Lancia were dope, I played with those on gran tourismo too .. rally name , cool shit ...
Wish they have some preludes there.
Thank you Joey. I enjoyed this vary much
Glad you enjoyed it
Man I'm glad I don't have easier access to Ignition Model, EBBRO, and Motor Helix over here in the states. I'd end up with a collection worth more than my FL5 lmao.
lol seriously it’s bad
Wow these are some beautiful cars really! ❤👍🏻
Hell yeah let's gooo!!💯🙌
@0:02 Street legal, factory built Rally Spec, so sick
More hotboy content from joey, my guy never disappoint.
¥43,730 was good money for those 1:18 scale Motorhelix models.
They will demand a much higher price once they sell out.
I like Japanese car culture. This meet is one of my favorites.
But, Joey did not get sunburned? WTF?? 😅
I stayed in the shade most of the time
SO GOOD ❤
It's always so fascinating when I see LHD and USDM DC2 front ends in Japan, we be importing each others "unwanted" cosmetics haha. Love your content it brings me back to the best honda era and vibes
the Lancia may look familiar if it had the Martini racing livery. 👍
Street car version is way cooler
@@THECHRONICLES 🤭
Ride height on your type r is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks 💯
You should check out the car scene at the Philippines
Coolest honda event
"For Fuckboi Purposes Only"..i will never not laugh at this
To see a Lancia in person is a once in a lifetime type of thing…. That is a group b rally car that ruined group b cause it was so fast
group b didnt die from being too fast...it died from killing spectators, as well as being too fast.
Are 92-95 civic coupes a big deal in Japan and the rest of asia? How about lhd?
Only to a small group of enthusiasts. People that love coupes REALLY love them. LHD is not too special to them.
That yellow integra I I believe had a js racing hood. I enjoy the channel great. Hope 1 day I'll be able to visit Tokyo, Japan. Also, what are those rare front integra headlight covers called?
It’s a Mugen replica hood from a U.S. company.
The headlight shrouds are from Honda Access. There really isn’t a specific name for them.
@@THECHRONICLES oh okay. Js racing sells a similar hood.
@@THECHRONICLES thank you appreciate you.
@2:20 the Motul
after all your time in japan, that was the first time you had a toilet and shower in same room? our first room in tokyo was the tiniest bathroom toilet, with rubber floor and you had the shower head right behind you. you take the TP out and anything you dont want wet then giver a go. i feel like it was something close to that in a few places we stayed just not quite all toilet + shower in same room
Nah man I’ve never had a room where the toilet is in the shower lol. I’ve been in capsule bathrooms but it’s still separate technically cuz of the tub.
The Honda meet had a really well-mannered feel to it. Where the crazy drivers at? 😁
In America
"Crazy drivers"? You mean the immature manchildren?
Is the yellow type R a different color code than what we got in the US?
No just different names
@@THECHRONICLES OK that makes sense. I thought there was two different color codes and I went to look to see if it was actually true. Thanks for clearing it up.
What rear cross bar is that on the white integ type R at 31min. Do you guys make front lips for the DC2. And when are your chronicle stickers coming back on stock
It’s a Next Miracle X Bar.
Exceed does have a front lip coming for the Integra.
Decals are coming back soon.
@@THECHRONICLES take my $$ where can I preorder
@@civic2323 If you're in North America it will be available through Battlecraft Parts probably towards the end of summer.
Hey do you guys have that lip for sale?
It’s coming soon, probably by end of summer
I’ll take that lip! 🤣
You wish haha
Who actually built the car ?
Watch the videos and find out
Bro, skip over the cb7 accord 😢
It was K-swapped too
Can I have the old lip 😇
no lol
how come you dont go to the phillipines and check out your cultures car content???
I’m not even Filipino lol.
You're not Japanese either 🤷♂️
@@THECHRONICLES this is so damn funny man. Im half filipino tbh I thought you were filipino. It is annoying that filipino people go up to you and be like "ARE YOU FILIPINO". You gotta understand tho man, that the philippines is so god damn poor and exploited, the people there have very little to be proud of (why do you think Manny Paquio is so popular there), so if someone who has an inkling of Filipino in them (or looks filipino, lets be honest man you kinda do, I have a cousin who you straight up look like) is doing something big or cool outside of the Philippines, they will hassle you unfortunately. You probs wont read this. If you do, you should sell a shirt that says "Im not Filipino" in the Chronicles font, at least profit off of it. ok Im done, I said the F word too many times.
@@imtiredbosss I’m a F and couldn’t agree with you more. Haha. F’s love to be globally recognized/relevant all the time.
@@africagelomfs will say they Filipino but have 1/16 blood, like bruh you either carry a name or don’t. Stop playing the “i’m half asian” card, foh with that bs just to relate.
HADIR
32:20 @yooitzjohn-san
Do Japan have AWD turbo civics?
Not really, it’s not something they’re really interested in
