DUDE SO MUCH FUN!! Cant wait till next weekend! Thanks for all the help at PPIR!
cant wait :)
SPOON S2000 FTW ❣️
"We'll be back, we'll be back..." yea with hopefully more hp
KSWAP YOUR S2K XD
Really enjoyed the video between you guys, both really good dudes coming together to just race it out
Ben wasn’t lying when he said this video will be coming out way after Dustins! But boy is it so worth the wait. Really great content! Love your channel G&G!
tbh I think Ben and them OVER-produce this channel with all the cinematics and stuff. Bit over the top if you ask me. Just my opinion of course. I prefer a more raw, quick upload like a Boostedbois style..
@@JonHop1 nah, they have a quality standard way above most automotive UA-camrs, and I think that helps stand them out from the crowd. It's what I love most about this channel, it's always a quality upload in terms of both content and visuals.
@@JonHop1 yeah unfortunately the "raw" low effort style of the boostedbois is a lot less fun to watch. I subscribe to this channel (and not to boostedbois) because I like and appreciate the professional editing and composition
@@Hawk7886 Its all opinion.. there a reason BB get way more views and has way more subs.. and so many car channels are WAY less cinematic and over-produced and are doing way better.. For me, its a complete waste of time and money.. Cinematics have their time and place.. this channel is super over-produced like 90% of the time, which is why it takes so long to release. There needs to be a better balance if you are doing this from a business perspective. More releases, more content and the cinematic production here and there equals more content, less money and more profit. And for me, its just as entertaining. These are cars we are talking about. I dont need lipstick on a pig.
@@SamDoesStuff Yeah and their quality standard means more time and money spent with much less profit and for what exactly? To show CARS and racing around a track in some beauty pageant. I appreciate their effort, but their a reason BB and Cleetus have way more subs and views. Its more raw and real to normal car enthusiasts. Ben makes this like a friggen documentary. I watch car channels for to see the real behind the scenes dirty raw experience. If I wanted cinemtatics and a big production, Id watch the Fast and Furious or some car documentary on the History Channel. Again, just my opinion. Their camera work and editing is great, but I think its kinda wasted doing so in a car YT channel.. Go into movie making or something.
man, it hurts every time a GG episode is shorter than 55 minutes
True!
Definitely top notch tier content and videography. Big-ups to the G&G team, please keep up the awesome work and content.
Awesome driving there Ben and Dustin
Seriously the quality video and editing is really noticed G&G gang!
Got a bit of Forza Horizon vibes when they showed artist performing on stage
That was the inspiration for the Alpine Horizon festival lol
"Pulled a Takumi on that curb" DUDE LEGENDARY
Dustin's s2000 looks really good. I am not a big fan of headlight covers/deletes but gotta say looks dope on that s2000.
I personally dont understand why he went all out spoon but has a stock engine... That makes no sense.. And if he is building a car to compete in Grid his HP numbers are pathetic.. I think the Spoon F22C makes like 275. It is like almost $20K for that engine though lol
@@JonHop1 exactly he’s basically a ricer I personally don’t like Dustin As much he just seems meh to me but this s2000 looks nice all for 200 hp it’s so dumb at least Kwap it or do something Bc all that aero and shit just makes that car slow for somebody who just started tracking
@@JonHop1 you cant have a modified engine in the class thy are competing in
@@FredricMccubrey what u mean Ben's is modified..
@@JonHop1 different class
Hey! I am a Honda s2000 - 2001 owner. I've never rebuild the engine, only serviced the head, but tbh the SPOON s2k making 192 WHP is kinda low. Why? I am only comparing to my s2k (only mods are intake - single exhaust, stock ecu) which is kinda a beaten up s2k and it made 192 WHP on a mustang dyno. GREAT VIDEO guys, keep it up!
@Clay S. nice thought! Maybe earlier vtec + shorter diff gear ratio. I honestly dont know, maybe he hasnt rebuilt the engine yet or he didnt test it on a dyno or with an other s2k. I've tested mine with a low kilometer s2k , with a ecu/exhaust/intake + shorter ratio of 4.44 and the difference was chaotic. he could take the race 1/4 mile - 400m even with letting off the gas :P
just bolt ons he said. so not much different from yours engine wise.
@@5PYZ3R oh, ok!
SPOON does nothing to the engine.. they tune a lot of other stuff but never touched the engine (at least for the S2000)
i believe dustins ap1 had an ap2 swap at the time
"Full SPOON car"
Missing the most important part, the engine
The wrap on your car Ben is looking killer. It makes me want to wrap my daily driver
Having moved from the west coast to Colorado 11 years ago, I laugh any time I hear someone from back east call Colorado the west coast. The coast is a good 16hr drive from us with 2 separate mountain ranges in between. 🤷🏼♂️
Love that S2000! (Dustins 😎) - Taz.
“Coming out to the west coast…” nearest coast is the Gulf of Mexico.
Which is... West.
@@caileanhamilton9932 the west coast is absolutely not Colorado. The west and west coast are two different things.
wow you're so smart
How does this channel not have a million subscribers? The content is amazing
That Honda really is becoming a Icon, good on you Short Ben. I keep watching your gridlife videos and looking at the RX8 I got on the driveway, maybe one day.
sell the rx8 and get something else lol. an Rx8 is not gonna do anything but blow up on the track lol
@@kuya_mike7813 and I care about your opinion on my car because?
@@jayharris5460 just a suggestion....
@@kuya_mike7813 just a reply.
The RX8 still alive?
Its awesome seeing how other teams are willing to help out each other in these series. I mean you all are out there just to have fun and bragging rights. But at the end of the day i think its just about the fun factor.
If Colorado is considered the “west coast” then I must be living in the Pacific Ocean 💀
I'm from CA and thinking the same thing lol. I've been to the raceway and Colorado Spring (beautiful place btw), I'd consider them definitely West but I'm not sure about coast. Maybe he meant that since the event attracts people from the Western states, not entirely sure.
i feel like colorado is mid west
Getting distracted is never fun but it helps you regroup. And get to where you need to be. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊 Ben.
This is one of the best produced youtube channels for car racing. Love it!
Man I'm in a country and in a financial situation where I can't even get moped but these videos really cheer me up.
The trash talk between Ben and Dustin is funny 😂
Love this channel and being paired with Dustin is a great co-lab 👌🏼
These videos are always so awesome guys! I knew you would dust Dustin 😂 your civic is insanely fast, but an S2000 still got you! 😜
The collab we didnt know we needed
4:03 is that the vette from the hoonigan video that dropped the other day?
Edit: went back to check and YES IT IS! 1200hp twin turbo
i noticed that too, super cool
Hell yea it is lol I noticed it right away
Ben: *puts wheel inside curb*
Dustin: "NANI?!?"
I follow dustins channel as well he also makes great content. It’s awesome you guys are competing against each other.
this video was so fun to watch! hoping for the future vids to come sooner than later!
The content is very entertaining but I’m very impressed with the filming/editing. I don’t know what kind of backing you got but it looks very professional.
this is awesome content, props to valvoline for putting $$$ into this kinda stuff. will run val for now on
Yeah.....I am liking the Gridlife content.
Patrick is a awesome driver... Did wonders with his stock S2000 and now with his FK8 CTR.
Dustin is so underrated! He really puts everything into his work! His editing skills are out of this world. His heart is so big and kind!
I can't stand him. After he straight up _BUTCHERED_ a Mugen SI, I was done with him. He's just another spoiled ricer, imo.
You are wrong. What a shame you are missing out.
@UCoG8tudR_ePN5SuVLmTYc3A Did you see what he did to that Mugen SI? He butchered it and turned it into just another cookie-cutter, riced out, stance trash piece of junk. You don't do that to limited edition vehicle.
I actually love what he did. We will just have to agree to disagree on that.
As always, this channel never disappoints.
Keep it up guys.
So is this the really reason Dustin is building a civic.
Thanks, I haven't seen this yet but now you've ruined the video.
@@michaeljames191 Don't read comments before watching a video, Internet knowledge 101
It was the top comment smart ass
No, hes a youtuber, hes doing all of this for fucking content.
@@fredericoespinoza weird...
Awesome video. I really love watching the slo mo corners
holy shit Ben, i dont think you said K-swapped once in this video. well done
Man love the videos great work
Went to Gridlife this year. The weather was amazing and I got a little sunburnt but def going back to see you all again soon! Hopefully I'll get my first lap in next year!
what was that stutter when dustin was saying his hp numbers? is he around 190-210hp?
Another nice Video to watch.. great Channel . Im just wondering,
what Oil Viscosity, is used in Dustin's S2000?? And in ur K24 built?
Looking forward for the next Honda battle⚡💪
10:13 you should try blasting Eurobeat- I hear it adds an extra 50hp!
Very nice video's guys, well done. Love to watch them all.
Damn. Really solid story telling. Great great work as always!
Nice collaboration w/ Dustin. Love this channel
A bit late but what a pleasant surprise. Love the content G&G.
Wow I really thought the s2k would smoke the civic tbh, the fact that they're so close is crazy, I knew they handled well but I didn't realize they'd keep up so well
You guys are awesome, thanks for the new vid Ben! Been watching Dustins eg build, sooo good!
Been waiting for your upload. It sure did not disappoint.
A properly built civic beat a spoon parts bin S2000 is an A++ in my book. Awesome job my guy.
Guy's I can't get enough of your videos. Keep it up
Man, you took so long to release new video but it's definitely worth it!!!
Awesome vid guys, keep it up! Just wondering what kind of speed you reach on the banking? Cheers!
Loved Dustin in this video!
Very cool video! The win was well deserved against Dustin. Too bad for the class 2nd place, pretty sure you could have pulled it off 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@Gears and Gasoline - I don't know if you guys already do this, but you could try to do a "track walk" before you start each day of time attack. Even if it's the same track over consecutive days.
I've been waiting for a new vid keen to watch it
Never disappoints with the quality you guys put out. One of my inspirations for filming
Stellar editing as always guys!
Serious question: Why would he prefer the dual exhaust setup on the s2000? Couldn’t he lose some weight/gain some balance by running a single out the passenger side? Or does it not equate to much of a difference?
rare parts clout lol
Sound limits maybe
cant wait for the sti contents! nice vid as always
Civic looks good Brotha... good to see you guys living life.... the DREAM!
I look forward to the weekly uploads. Keep up the great work guys!
Ahhhhhh i see a MK5 GTI going at it on 4:00 !!
the new livery is sick!!
Awesome video as always. Keep it up guys.
Ben Focus on winning your class!! Win your class=beating Dustin. Team Civic here.
Finalllllllyyyyyyyy I love this series, I can't wait for every episode to come out.
I stopped watching Dustin's videos a year ago. He's the only car UA-camr that knows nothing about cars but has a huge following because of what cars he owns
hahaha same to me...
I agreed. No disrespect to Dustin though, as I think he is a nice guy and stuff. But he is just not that knowledgeable.
@@peterretep1010 sure he's probably nice, but his content is him fumbling through installing brakes or Coilovers and dropping his car at a shop for anything else. Meanwhile guys like Jimmy Oakes and Taylor Ray have less of a following but they can wrench and fab circles around him. And they're just as nice
Agree, i stopped half way during his s2000 build.
@@SLOWF20CAP1 Him saying how amazing his free spoon parts were every 30 seconds made it unwatchable
Remember when this car was supossed to be a ek9 replica and Ben said that he only wanted to do a 5 lug conversion and oem wheels? Well almost 3 years later and those 5 lug nuts were expensive 😂
This was an unexpectedly good collab
Ben always has a wheel off the ground in corners, seems like you would have a lot better traction using 4 tires instead of 3? Maybe something to look into...
All fast fwd cars do that, even full on factory team race cars, it's not an issue. That wheel has zero weight on it in the corner and having it one the ground would to nothing useful for grip or corner speed.
Dustin's S2000 makes 190-200hp? And it has Spoon bolt ons? That can't be right. Stock the S2000 had 240hp. Was Dustin saying that as "at-the-crank" hp or "at-the-wheel"?
It‘s at the wheels ✌️
It's whp but that's still way off what he should have. Literally bone stock S2000s has around that at the wheels.
@@Programentalist And that's exactly why I find that weird that his car, for all its mods, is THAT far down on power.
7:14 Hol Up, is that a NASCAR Stock Car? Are those even allowed? If so what classes?
190-200hp? stock dino at like 210? did his bolt ons take away power or did he dino it in a higher gear im really confused.
Hes probably talking wheel horsepower and Honda goes from the crank which would give you a higher number than from the wheel.
@@az_3kgt714 no im also talking wheel. At the crank its more like 240. I guess it depends on the type of dino
@@AdonisGaming93 yea that has a part to play to. I know mustang dynos are called heartbreakers for a reason.
@@az_3kgt714 i mean that's fine I always just felt like dynos are never really that accurate since it really matters what calibrations you use and what type of dyno. I look at it more like take a baseline and then see if with mods you get the number up. The number itself doesn't matter, but if you did mods and it went up 30hp then good you now have more than stock.
Great video dudes!
One day , both Dustin and Ben will be champion !
I'm a huge classic car guy, and am building a 65 mustang from the ground up
With that said, I love the civic. One day would like to build one like it or a Integra
The Civic looks SO good out on the track in its new livery.
Early squad reporting for duty
Let's go
Couldn't wait early squad were we at!!!
Man I love these videos
Great content G&G fan for life
love how there's also a NASCAR stock car that's going around the track
Stock car, a Grand national, S13, that spoon S2000 with that amazing bumper, mia. What is this? Amazing cars.
i liked before watching it because i know its gonna be good
Great production.
If theres one constant in the universe, its that no one at the track uses Valvoline.
At the end of the day as long as you have fun and gain new friends, that's the essence of car life (plus get more powah and go faster 🤣)
Looks as though you guys had a great time out there.👍🏼
As always. Great content!
Looks really fun there, party and all
I hope both ben talks about their driving techniques, i wonder if you do heel and toe and if you do how did you learn to do it? Thanks for answering this, i hope i can soon see a video on this, goodluck!!
Always love a good rivalry!!
i love these videos keep it up!
Civic needs working back diffuser real bad and also another rims that has better aero :)
Why go to so much trouble with the aero and keep the windows down?
I wish I could meet these guys. They seem like genuinely super nice people
rooting for the ek all the way from hawaii!!!
Pause at 4:48
That is exactly Ayrton Senna's time on Branch Hatch once!
