The Finale Of My Adventures In Japan...

- A 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.
When Joey Lee said "oh no, DND wheel," I laughed!
You know when parts bother him and at times you want a vid on what brought him to that view
@@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.
@@Jjjjjjj750 Now that's a reply thanks for that heads up and the way you word it, much respect to you and your time to give me an answer✌️👍
@@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.
@@Jjjjjjj750 Works Bell × Nardi. You won't be sorry!
Im sure everybody loves your way of telling a story and details of every build. That’s why we’re all here😁
Just made dinner and threw this on. This is some content brotha. Look forward to more. Never stop!
That Mini is my favorite car in the video. Its so clean.
That Mini is stellar, and a great story too.
Thank you for a spectacular month of coverage. I know you have missed being there. Appreciate all you have done for the community over the last 12 years.
Thank you for everything Joey!
Amazing video again man. Can’t wait to see the ghosted livery on the EG.
Those last comments hit hard, keep making great content joey 👍🏼
Also 38:55 shot is amazing
Thank you sooo much for the time you spent giving this series to us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My pleasure!
Ngl this was probably one of my favorite Japan trips of yours.
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!
Loving the floral upholstered Recaro seats in the Dekotora truck
Brah damn awesome how you have all this access into these bad ass shops and to be able to show us how Japan does it in the race world brah thanks for sharing man damn awesome work you did
UA-cam stole my comment so here’s the short and skinny. Your time spent is paying off in numerous uncountable ways, your emotion/heart shows through your work. You’re a definition of “humble artist”. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
love it very much for this round of japan trip! Thank you
My fiancee and I are building an EG, and we got introduced to your channel. Your attention to detail got me hooked, and your laid-back tone for telling the story of cars and shops you cover got us hooked. I'm glad I follow you, Joey!
Thanks again for the video Joey! Loved the CRX feature. :D
Edit: I'm really happy for Mini Yasu. That must have been a dream come true for him to have you see his car after reading and watching your vids for years.
Also, what does carbon reinforced mean exactly? Is It just a layer of carbon over the original sheet metal?
Another amazing series Joey!! This one felt extra special! And i can see that it felt extra special to you too! Everything just flowed in this series!! Thankyou again for what you bring to the Honda Community, the community in general! Thankyou!! 🙏🙏
Always enjoy your japan stuff, the vibe you have given your vlogs in the recent years has been insanely relaxing, I really hope it is a reflection of where you are in life and that life is treating you well
I’d like to think so…
Thank you Joey 🥹🙏🏼❤️🤯👍🏼😳
My bro kiyo-San owns that blue integra! Started talking to him some time around last year and made really good friends with him (regardless of the language barrier) super chill dude! I’m hoping that there’s gonna be another Chanoka event next year so that I can have an excuse to go to Japan LOL
What an honor! Thank you for showing us the hidden treasures of Christmas past present and future Joey! ✌️
Thanks for all of the great content over the last month. Really appreciate it. Your vlogs have made the anticipation of my personal return to Japan (hopefully by this winter) very much palpable. Thanks again!
That truck is freaking sick
Though Larry and various others put out great content, the way you get into detail and story telling on builds is really what makes you a staple in the Honda and automotive community.
Oglądałem wszystkie filmy od samego początku Twojego kanału. Dzięki Tobie poznałem Japonię od innej strony.. pozdrawiam z Polski, dziękuję!
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
Great video you look like Rick from Rick & Morty when you had the microfiber towel on lol
"Oh sorry your car hit a house"
😂😂
The mini Cooper is dope 🔥
That yuta feature was awesome, real passion project
Great video. 👍 Lots of Gems. 💎
Can't wait for them Spoon Goodies.
Keep killing it with the content! Appreciate you for showcasing such awesome stuff..
Recaro on that truck..super comfy
Once again , Excellent content. Just being able to see builds like this, really brings a new depth of building cars. Thank you Joey!
I prefer the way you deliver content. I'm happy you got to show the car.
Bride seat alone already filled the interior of the Mini. Awesome
Thank you Joey for the amazing content … i can’t wait to finish my hatch and show you someday.. just to get some pointers
That Mini kid is going to go places, incredible build 👏
Amazing as always. We appreciate you and your taste in vlogs.
dude they appreciate you like all who follow and subscribe appreciate you. thank you for bringing California and Japan Honda scene to all of us and especially to me from Chicago.
keep doing you Joey as always bringing awesome videos.. maybe one day we'll meet in Chicago and have stuff pizza from Gino's east. lol i know u think its gross..
Thanks for breaking down the BBL (good acronym) car. That carbon floor is insane.
With the ITR restomod, let's not forget the tucked rad and AN rad hoses. Definitely not period correct either.
Oh man those cars are amazing!!Thanks Joey!😎👌🔥
Excellent execution on another video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻good to see chronicle stickers overseas.
Thanks for all the amazing content Joey, enjoy your well earned rest ❤️
This trip brought such cool content, loved it all
You've done a fantastic job! Inspiring! Thank you!
Just started following you not long ago and realized I’ve seen your “name/nickname” on a few magazines and stuff before and it hit me like wow lol, but just wanted to say you always have great content and thanks for sharing your trip to Japan with us it inspires me to continue a “build” that I just started this year, thanks again 👍🏼.
Thanks!
Fake mugen valve cover in Japan never thought I would see the day. Great content from Japan 😍😍😍
Love your videos Joey, please try and keep pushing to shoot more stateside. Would love to see more videos from the Cali area. Well done though 👏 beautiful trip to Japan. Take care and Much love brother ❤️ 🙏
Been out of the honda game for a spell but recently bought a Honda Acty HA4 stateside. For a guy stateside where do you look nowadays for sweet used parts? 14x5.5 wheels are not the easiest to find. Loving to content and all the good cinematography.
You’d prob have to find parts overseas and have an importing service get it stateside. Some things haven’t changed at all lol.
super sick mini!!
Awesome video man
That truck is super sickkk!!🔥🔥💯🤙
Appreciate the videos bro.
Glad you like them!
We ALL can agree that Joey Lee needs to build a “Golden Era “ Honda in Homage to his O.G. Honda roots.
I’m going to have to order me a chronicles sticker for good taste ya
Just ordered 2 stickers wanted the top fuel one but all sold out I have taste
A Texas flag in Japan , wow never thought I'd see that 😳
that’s a Chile flag you posted
@@_el_louie_213 😂😂😂 took it off reeeallll quick
17:52 red EG in the back rocking the Jollibee license plate frame! hella pinoy. lol
Aluminum eg door handles! Wouldve saved me quite a few replacements back in the day
Love the Texas flag in their shop!!!
If Naďs from hoonigan only see them Hondas he would lose his Shit😂😂😂
Man that resto DC2 ITR is almost perfect but I agree - needs different wheels…
There's a kit for a k swap brz, hopefully you come by it in the future
Very well said about type r!
What tuner doesnt have access to a dyno tho? So sad to see the damage - hope the tuner paid him for that
I have never seen a broken EG door handle but that is a cool piece!
Just Google “Broken EG door handle” lol
Awesome video, as always!
Which video camera/gimbal setup are you using here? Saw it a few times in the reflections.
The ef and crx chassis is the most expensive hondas thats out there other then the nsx
No,s2k
@@ArtVandelayOfficial a well legit no dents crx is worth more then a s2k (stock with scratches and small dents)
@@DJV94022 no not at the moment
S2k minimum 50k
@@ArtVandelayOfficial maybe a roadster
Hey Joey, were you a part of Team SC3 back in the 2000's? Just randomly came across your videos on UA-cam and you seem so familiar.
Yup I sure was
😎👍👍
I wish i asked earlier but it's too late now í think but I'll ask anyway.
How are the ep3 and dc5 guys correcting their geometry when they lower them?
I didn’t know k masa has so much cars
Any more info on the blue bb6?
I just wanna know how they ran the top radiator hose on the other side
Can i ask what little camera are you using to film in the beginning? Also what was that shop name? I didn't catch it if you said it.
It's a GoPro Hero 11
love ur vids
Is that midori hatch the EK9 that was fully converted ?
No different car
There's a cat in Huntington Park off gage that has a whole lot of those little cars but they could be imports from Europe I'm not that knowledgeable on those cars...
Hmm, no vid of your impromptu meet though? Or are you going to post pics of that?
Nah didn’t really shoot anything there. It was a bit too dark.
32:29 what purpose do the springs on the manifold serve?
Slip-on design.

how much setup car
The valve cover on the CR-X is 100% fake. The N is too centered to the spark plug cover bolt. The E and the N are supposed to be centered to the SPC bolt.
Yeah, you can also tell from the side of it too.
8:33 Fake MUGEN valve cover the N gives it away it’s in the wrong spot
4:20 did anybody else recognize that?
Formula 1 cars is fully Carbon fiber and i seen them bus in half....
I mean, what isn't going to break in half at those types of speeds. This isn't really comparable lol.
@@THECHRONICLES i mean am sure if that civic hit something on the track the owner will feel sick,but it's cool not bad mouthing the build..or an i love your video they volcanic😂😂
@@tommy_kaira733 F1 cars are designed to break in half, it’s disperses energy and stops the driver getting hurt.
@@JackPayne91 i know that,my point was he said that carbon fiber is very strong,but as we can see it doesn't take much for it to get damage...
I wanna go to japan, japan so hot i wanna go home to california even tho I’m already going home. Entitled
Yeah I’m so entitled to pay for my own trip, make content and come and go as I please. How entitled of me.
Dumb ass comment. This the type of shit that makes YOU sound entitled.
