Im starting to realise James in the crowd is meant to represent us, the audience
Yeah, he's like the one who got the tickety to a show and tells us the story right after when he gets home.
Starting? 😂
@@munirjanakat2301 yeah, that is what he said.
Its a process
He's really mocking our intellectuality
HKS, ADVAN, Spoon, Mugen, Weil Side... etc.. such legends.
JUN, MINE'S, Top Secret, Tomei, Blitz... etc..
Is it weird that I almost produced tears at the end when he said thank you?
it's not weird. it's normal
Donut Media Thank you. I’ll continue then.
@@Donut up to speed on the fiat 124 spider abarth,AKA the Fiatta
nope. donut has a profound effect on all of us bro. let it out.
Lol same happened to me. James always gets me right in the feels 😂
I always slap an HKS part and stickers on my project cars
well, the ones in NFSU2 that is
If you ever want to take it to the next level, look for an HKS Towel. The one with the 90s Stripe livery! (Drying will be three times the normal speed.)
I always slap HKS turbo on Skyline in NFSU2
@@unproductiveworkshop no
Come on man mr Nascar.
Imagine slapping an HKS turbo on the Corsa... Haha, jk, but what if...?
They should do an UP to Speed on Gran Turismo.
yeah!!!
Nah
I'm fine with them making the most iconic car or gt. What else? The mother effin escudo pikes peak beybehhh
Defo
i just saw this comment and then saw the video they uploaded it to their podcast
Not to mention, Smokey-san left HKS to start his own tuning shop TOP SECRET after he was furious for getting rejected in joining Mid Night Club
this mid night club story is insane!
Nice tidbit, thanks. I like Top Secret. Didn’t know that was Smokey-san’s. They make sick EGs.
Are you stating that as fact or merely parroting other unsubstantiated, nonsensical rumors from the internet?

You seem pointlessly angry...

D LIST of the most reliable cars ever made
Volvo Honda Toyota. Boom done
Jack Van Epps He means exact models
You ain’t gonna see anything American
@@sebz7248 no shit. I was making a joke
@@jackvanepps7301 Volvo is reliable until you need to fix it.
From personal experience HKS CustSvc is one of the best I’ve ever dealt with. I had an issue with a turbo kit and they not only helped me diagnose the issue but overnight shipped me a new kit from Japan at their expense and had me keep the original. I wish more companies took customer service so seriously. Yes their parts are expensive but the ownership experience is worth every dollar imo
I have always loved anything HKS!!! I never thought to look up any history on this company. So seeing this video has given me a higher respect for the company and especially for Mr. Hasegawa!!! His vision is what has helped to evolve aftermarket tuning for the world!!! I want to give a huge Shout Out to the entire Donut Team for this video!!! Thank you all for your continued hard work on bringing us content to enjoy during these weird times!!!
Who here remembers the HKS S15 as a reward vehicle in Gran Turismo 4?
Edit: It was also in 5, 6, and PSP
Not to mention it in tokyo xtreme racer drift 2. Fucking legendary
Man the psp version. Damn I wasn't ready for these memories.
My go to gt4 drift car back in the day!
What about HKS 180SX on Gran Turismo 2? I'm a 90s kid
It was a reward vehicle? I beat the game several times and I don't remember getting it as a reward. You could buy it from the aftermarket parts dealer though.
We should made a go fund me page for James so he can make the pumphrey 502
Lukas Beblow you mean the Pumphrey 502

Yeah Louisville are code.
Damco Entertainment your right

Me: talks about the zero r to my friends on May 6th
Donut: “y’all smell that? That’s mo powah”
Mo pawah bb
Lukia The Dino yeah!
Ram chargers!
I kind of had a heart meltdown seeing HK as a kid became a legend 17:27, and now he passed away and left us.
This made me recall a qoute, "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die."
Thannk you Mr. Hiroyuki Hasegawa!
Do an episode of "Up to speed on my dad" I'd like to get to know him please
PaganiGaming would like to know your location
@@RNKel1 😂😂🤭🤭you beat me to it.
Stop looking for me... son ,I'm here.Now send some money to ur dad so we can schedule an encounter
BRO UR NOT PAGANI
Kyel Marius god dammit I feel weird since both paganigaming and I have similar names idk
13:26 "Noooo it's such a good car, you can't completely gut the perfect thing"
HKS: "Haha Skyline go Brrrrrrrrr"
What?! Not even a mention of the HKS drag R33 which held the 4WD record for a good time.
I believe it didn't get broken till somewhere around 06 07, they set their 7sec record in 2000, it was broken by gtr700(r33 from aus) then again by Reece McGregor from nz a few months later at 7.55 in his r32, 12 yrs later there are r32 rb26 gtrs here in oz going 6.7s 😳👌
I remember watching all the battles through the early 2000s of people trying to crack 8s ,so many broken engines, so many broken drivelines, 😂 but oh so many broken records too 👌 was a great time to be a spectator 👌
180sx and Celica dragster
that HKS race car @13:01 is just super subtle and rad looking. . .
and revving to 13k, is just insane
And them taking a pivot towards the Skyline.
as well as also making bolt on catalog parts for so many lines was such a GREAT idea
I left *Doug* *Demoro* and came for James
Same
Same here but will surely go back to check out his new car
Smart man
Doug can wait, James is more important
Lol I watch every car channel
I love waking up to James’ sweet sweet voice in my ear holes
I can see this in a very romantic and special way
Ram chargers
You wake up very late
@@sethhuber25 not everyone is in the same time zone
We need more "Up to Speed" episodes on aftermarket parts manufacturers.
Good stuff guys! Appreciate all the background on these cars and companies that helped to define a generation.
Brings back memories, you guys forgot to mention the entirely raw carbon Evo 8, the one before the red one. They crashed it at Tsukuba i think but that thing was an icon at the time. It was prettier than the red one and was considered the fastest time attack car in the world after beating the green and yellow Subaru GC8 from Jun Auto Mechanic. Everything they used to make that car fast could be purchased from their shop, which was not the case for the Altezza which was unofficially "disqualified" because of it's racing only nature. honestly, I would have liked to see this video a bit longer and more in depth, these guys are the reason why cars like the Supra, Evo and WRX are so popular in the United States, without HKS they would still be good cars but not legendary like they are now.
Favorite part of Thursdays is receiving a UA-cam noti' and see James on the thumbnail 💛 Much Love James! 🙏🏽
Hes so cute
Tuesday?
Tuesday???
True bruh
Haha sorry guys Quarantine makes me forget about the days 😂
First aftermarket part I put on my '93 Civic Coupe back with my first paycheck in the Summer of 1994:
*HKS Super Power Flow*
No one was showing the 5th gen Civic ANY love...except for HKS. Big-ups to you, Hasegawa! You made my Civic THE sport compact car icon.
And I still have it, in Aztec Green Pearl. ☺ (240k miles!)
This was an Awesome episode! Can't believe what they could accomplish so long ago with the limited resources they had!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 this episode got me in the feels!
That last comment " Thank you" had me teary eyed
Man the memories....soon as I saw HKS I remembered my RSX with a Hi-Power exhaust on it. Man I miss that car.
Yeah, Acura shouldn't have discontinued the RSX/Integra. Of course, it didn't have the sales volume of a Civic, but Honda/Acura never promoted their cool cars beyond enthusiasts, which if they did maybe they'd have the sames numbers to keep producing them. Same with Mitsu and the Evo.
Lol slaps a down pipe in a car now its high output. Your the 90's tuner meme. Why we cant buy civics today
Lol hi power is the model of the exhaust home boy
@@milestucker9744 irrelevant home boy good job with the tube bender maybe Emanuel will let you change tires today
@@milestucker9744 did you think I was confused because of all the lo power mods
So happy you guys made this video. Was gonna comment about up to speeds on famous/popular performance brand history. Nice. You guys rock socks 🧦💪🏻
Nice video, thank you !!
Thank you Hiroyuki Hasegawa. You were a legend and you gave us so many amazing products and races over the years. RIP. Amazing episode guys!
Hey James, can you do a up to speed on "Isuzu".Also love the vids.
All the car are crap .
Mikey garcia ever heard of the 4jj1 ?
@@mikeygarcia8663 but the engines are strong
My dad had an izusu 4x4 midsize and he really liked it

I don't care what the topic is, James gets me pumped up every freaking video. Just wanted to say how awesome you are and thank you for all your enthusiasm in your work.
Excellent episode
Day 157 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad

Such good energy with you always. We love you James
r.i.p Hiroyuki Hasegawa thanks for the great memories
8:48 He turned Japanese on the second "Supra!"
13:03
An open-wheel race car with Advan 3-spokes? Can we bring this look back?
Yeah how classy it is 👍
YES PLEASE
Watching this while someone is revving with skyline not even kidding, it gave me goosebumps :O great video!!
Loved this video
Had some HKS parts on an old Mirage project, good to see they're still around
Lol
They are but the parts aren't technically even made by them anymore. They are all outsourced by other companies and you can't even call HKS directly anymore. You get some random place called Detroit motorsport or something. I tried when I wanted to get the Hipermax coilovers and found out they aren't even made by HKS
lmao you bought performance parts for a mirage
For SCCA Autocross, yes.
@@norgepalm7315 ever heard of the Mirage RS? Basically Mitsubishi's Civic Si

Lookin good man keep up the healthy grind
This was an amazing episode I was wanting for James to explain HKS in the proper order and their contribution to the Motorsport world.
"Nolan's Cream Dream* let's get that on a t-shirt, shall we?

Really good job dude
Day 8 of me asking for Science Garage (and Bart) to come back with: How Methanol Injection Works

Day 1 of me wanting this
Sadly Bart is no longer part of donut and it doesn't seem like he will be again
@@penguindoctor7873 whyyyyyy
MO Bart baby
I absolutely LOVED my HKS PS3 controller,, well thought out design.
Got the HKS Hi-flo exhaust on my S2K, Gorgeous resonance.
You are right James in saying "thank you" to him. He did A LOT for the Japanese tuning community.
The HKS parts always fit nicely on everything that I worked on over there. One of my favorites was the turbo kit for the 4AGZ-E in the Levin. Making it twin charged.
I still have my P-FCON, FCD, and Turbo timer on my FC that I brought back 25 years ago.
Maybe do one on APEXi or Trust (Greddy) sometime down the road?
Bro the HKS R32 is like one of my favorite cars of all time! Was stoked to see this in my sub box! Love you Donut guys 🍩👊
Thanks for always posting during quarantine!
Love these episodes 😎😎😎
James showers these companies with praise and the love is appreciated. Mo Powa Babeh!!! #theworldiswatching
Thank you donut! Im from argentina! Im a very big fan! I was wondering if u could make a video about Juan Manuel Fangio. He was a huge influence on many drivers all over this year. Sorry if a i made a mistake writting this haha. MO POWA BABEH!

Mentions DeTomaso without an UTS
*sad Italian noises*
At least they gave it a B2B.
I got chills in the ending
The speed that James is loosing weight is insane and it’s really showing keep it up James we all love you
Last time I was this early, James still had a dad.
*My dad's manual Xb has **_HKS Suspension_** I'm glad I watched this video. I need to buy HKS stuff asap*
This is one of the best videos you’ve done to date. That goes to the whole team. Editor. Sound guy. James. All y’all. Thank you.
Audience James is my favourite UA-camr for real.
Up to speed ideas. Sticking to the JDM tip, how about doing one on Rims? I mean, SSR, Work, Mugen, Rays, all legacy brands.
I think they already did a Mugen video
just watch fitment industries lol
theres a channel for it called fitment industries
Pressing "F" - I even get the HKS Oil for my STI :)
T6 or gtfo
I'm not crying at a year old video!!! You are
I had HKS boost, oil pressure and oil temp guages mounted on the drivers piller of my tuned Volvo V40 wagon. They looked good, performed well and were simple to install.
The first time I herd about HKS was in grand turismo 2 on PS1.
Oh man the nastalga love the HKS drag R33 and 180SX from GT2.
@@bloodsupremking some of the coolest cars of all time. I'd trade the sophisticated engine noises and online competition and graphics of today for the raw feeling of GT-GT3. Remember the Pikes Peak Isuzu Escudo?
@@kbbl102.5 Oh man how could I bro lol the amount of times I did the hillclimb in that car cant even count, how about the Castrol Supra or the Penzol R34 member those bad bois? Lol.
I discovered them watching fast & furious
Finally a hks episode now im just waiting on on a veilside or mines episode
Both of those are amazing ideas! They gotta do it. Def get that Mines R34 GTR, that thing is a work of art.
Back in 1990, a buddy of mine built an '87/'88 Turbo Supra Targa Top out of two wrecked cars. He fitted it out with an HKS turbo boost kit, and Kaminari ground effects. It was one of the slickest cars in Indianapolis at the time.
Wow...really enjoyed this look back at HKS. Awesome business story, driven by a passion for cool cars and engine mods!

I remember when the speed channel came out in the early 90's, my neighbor used to race in scca and had just gotten it. I remember him loaning me vhs after vhs of recorded racing. I watched rally, touring and laying my eyes on hks's beautiful r32 gtr and the sexy cosworth sierra. I've lusted for them both since and prices keep skyrocketing for the r32 and hard to fond left hand drive sierra cosworth. To quote Wayne from Wayne's world, " oh yes she will be mines, oh yes."

This is a name I have known since I was 5 years old playing Gran Turismo 2 in 2000
Love that Initial D reference!
Guy in the audience is my spirit animal.
I used to deliver and pick up from them when I worked at FedEx. Got to see them tune on the dyno and the tuner from Japan took me for a ride in the STI wagon when it dropped in the US.. and got a pair of racing gloves as a gift for hooking them up with last minute shipping..
