I agree. Not a fan of those that swap in engines from other manufacturers, especially the cliche 2JZ or LS... I'll let this one slide though because he successfully converted it to LHD.
Super interesting and UNIQUE Hako. +Those last shots: a 1st person shot of a 3rd person shot of a magnificent machine. I DIG IT. Give great perspective of what it atakes to get those SWEET SWEET shutter-clicks 🤩
Definetley a 2jz Swapped Skyline. The Hakosuka is my favorite Skyline and I love the sound of a 2jz,a 2jz Swapped Skyline is all I ever wanted plus an RB30 Swapped Supra doesnt seem right to me.
Fun fact: the real LHD Hakosuka made for europe had the ignition on the left side of the steeringwheel instead of being on the right like on the RHD version.
Needs a hood. I know it's a fresh project but too many people are just giving up on trying to fit a hood. It's not a trend or style to not have one. It's just incomplete. Sweet suspension setup and car over all tho
A beautiful car, I get that it's a hot rod and the motor is proably abit larger than the motor that would normally sit in the engine bay. I know the intercooler in front of the bumper is a car style , but personally I would prefer to find another place for it, it looks like this intercooler is custom made and it looks like if it had anoter shape it could be placed between the radiator and the bumper. Still a beautiful car though.
Always love a Hako but that's not anti purist to me, it's a JDM purist car with the best JDM car of all time with the best JDM motor... And the Willies! I have a 54 Jeep sitting in my yard that I've been thinking of building since I saw that one
mmwosu honestly just personal preference. Growing up a lot of the builds I looked up to had non VVTI so it’s always been a dream engine of mine. Plus I’ve always heard good things about them
@@mmwosu I know they have several channels, I am pointing out that their other channels have been absent and probably due to filming another project or they needed a break is all.

Larry Chen has been a blessing to UA-cam. I admire all of his work, including his hard work. Great job and great success to you, brother.
Well done thank you very much for the mentions I feel fortunate to have collaborated in this project !!
Almost hate to say it, but this works. Hakosuka is my ultimate dream car, so I was a little sceptical, but this build is gorgeous. Well done.
When I hear his accent I think he's a filipino and then I saw his jacket. Confirmed he's a PINOY ❤🇵🇭
not only that when you see the video about the car they filmed before this you can easily tell he's pinoy
Me: *Sees thumbnail* thats a nice
Me: *Reads title* WHAT
This guy is awesome, third car on AutoFocus, unbelievable. Larry is always finding gems :)
All of JT's builds are insane and very well executed. The fact that he builds these in his backyard is even more impressive. Absolutely amazing work.
This guy is a real builder. Also love the gaffers tape on Larry’s lens, guys an amazing photographer.
That car in the back yard is a 1972 corolla
rest in peace JT
Although I wouldn't have this setup on my dream hakosuka, I still respect it alot.
My dream hakosuka would be an rb25de o rb26 made N/A
I agree. Not a fan of those that swap in engines from other manufacturers, especially the cliche 2JZ or LS... I'll let this one slide though because he successfully converted it to LHD.
What an awesome shoot! It must be such a great experience to photograph these unique vehicles in the way you did Larry. I love watching Autofocus!
If you prefer one power-band over another, I say let it fly!
This swap was done with the utmost respect for the Hakosuka.
Mad props.
I love this channel and all your work Larry. Amazing photos put nicely into a mini documentary on super unique cars.

I guess Larry is the only one still doing any work at Hoonigan?
FACTS
If you could only choose one: 2JZ Swapped Skyline or RB30 Swapped Supra?!
Square body supra
Are we talking Hako cause if so then I don't even have to think about it
Depends on the generation. Most of the model years (but not all!) I preferred the looks of the Skyline, so that would be my choice.
Definetley a 2jz Swapped Skyline. The Hakosuka is my favorite Skyline and I love the sound of a 2jz,a 2jz Swapped Skyline is all I ever wanted plus an RB30 Swapped Supra doesnt seem right to me.
rb celica supra
its awesome how you used the jeep as a camera car and still show how functional the jeep still is
Hands down the cleanest hakosuka I’ve ever seen
The 2JZ doesn't bother me, but the LHD does
it's funny seeing people complaining about the motor ain't a RB, SR20, v8, or the original motor. it's his build and he can do what he wants.
Thank you Larry :) love the opening scenes vibes. Keep up the excellent content! 😄
i love it when someone do their car the way they want and like to.. 🤟
I see Filipino car guy, a solid 👍
Best channel so far
Two of the most rad filipinos out there, Joel Tan and Micah Diaz. Much respect ✊🏻
Larry, you're a mad man! Laying out on the Jeep to get the money shots!
nice bulid sir JT. proud Filipino here. great shoot sir Larry
Glad to see the jeep being put to good use!
Anti-Purist but an absolute unit and a gorgeous build
What a nice car 😍
Nothing better than a fully built backyard project SEMA car! 🤘🏼
I love all his cars
That jeeps is awesome, love that older video you had of it.
What about a rb26 in one of these?
Fun fact: the real LHD Hakosuka made for europe had the ignition on the left side of the steeringwheel instead of being on the right like on the RHD version.
That is the cleanest skyline on the planet!!!!!!#A1 best of the best wow!!!!! So sick!!!!!
Auto like because of “ TANGINAMO “ jacket
Hahhahahaha Pilipinaaaas!
It’s absolutely perfect, wow.
can't wait to see larry chen , go to philliphines
Hello pare. Nice to meet you at the Toyo booth.
Is it me or is the harnesses not attached to the bar? I really hope it's not bolted to the floor.
*Larry "GOD" Chen back at it again in these fuccing shcreets, doing KINGS WERK*
Long live the Anti-purist
Exactly. Kill the sacred cows. Swap everything into everything
A true automotive enthusiast 👍
Truely Inspirational. Absolutely awesome 🤘
Nice one Oliver Baclay!!!
Saludo ako sau boss! Hehe.. At ang jacket oh "tanginamo" hahahahah
Napuna ko din boss..
🤣🤣 At 2:43 you show a Te27 mango (71-74 corolla coupe) instead of of a skyline. 👍❤️❤️
They did!
Skyline hakosuka in left hand drive?
Needs a hood. I know it's a fresh project but too many people are just giving up on trying to fit a hood. It's not a trend or style to not have one. It's just incomplete. Sweet suspension setup and car over all tho
dry january killed the hoonigan crew. XD
Looks like Azusa canyon! Great road to drive!
whats the song use at 9:14 ish. ?
Love this build ❤❤❤
Beautiful just Beautiful
THIS GUY DEFINITELY BELONGS AT SEMA!!! Freaking backyard build!? That MF clean AF!
A beautiful car, I get that it's a hot rod and the motor is proably abit larger than the motor that would normally sit in the engine bay.

LHD!! I love that considering RHD feels so wrong to me, like skating switch stance.
beobe99
Was most likely a necessity driven by the swap.
Awesome shoot Larry great cars he's super cool love that jeep willys too
youre pic are sick...super nice ..keep up the good work....thanks
i want to life like larry
damn why filipino's jdm builds are so perfect?
Where in North Dakota did this come from?! In Grand Forks, never seen this one yet!
Thought he had a bogo on for a split second and then realized it wasnt and got bummed out
Legit pinoy with that owner jeep and tanginamo hoodie lol nice
A left hand drive Hako??
California built with ND pioneer plates...it is way easier to license cars up here.
Do you guys till have the idx3?
Tanginamo lifestyle.. awesome seeing pinoys build from ground up
proud 🇵🇭
Always love a Hako but that's not anti purist to me, it's a JDM purist car with the best JDM car of all time with the best JDM motor... And the Willies! I have a 54 Jeep sitting in my yard that I've been thinking of building since I saw that one
This is a collection of everything we appreciate about the JDM culture. Modern day Hot Roding.
Is that the 2j swapped willys
Is300 transmission? So w58?
The car in the backyard is a Corolla, isn’t it? 🤔
YES! 👍🏻
those wheels
AZUSA CANYONS DOPE!
Home Town!
My dream setup would basically be this car but with a non VVTI 1JZ and black. Amazing build though
Why non VVTI if you don’t mind me asking? I’m always interested in people’s reasons for this
mmwosu honestly just personal preference. Growing up a lot of the builds I looked up to had non VVTI so it’s always been a dream engine of mine. Plus I’ve always heard good things about them
Larry when are you putting a 2j in the Z
What’s with the Corolla pics in the back yard?
Fire the interns
Where are people finding all these 2JZ's?
I'm not sure there's any shortage when you include the ones that came in Lexus' if you want one. .you will find one
Theyre not hard to find, just expensive.
Very Nice mix👆👌
That fixed seat would kill my back
That's a sweet ride 👍
really wanna cop that sweater though...
My inspiration build
Masterpiece👌
I'd 13B or 20B swap it.
Then again, I'd swap 13B's in just about anything.
Oh my Gulay! It's Jokoy's uncle, complete with the filipino Elvis accent! :0)
Why no rb?
Background music?
Galing mo talaga paps Joel
カッコいい車に乗ってるね👍 これを買って大正解だよ! 日本人は恋人、家族の様に大切にして来た貴重なクルマだから。
Crazy awesome!
Is this guy a pinoy? Love the ownerjeep!
Interesting how he turned a corolla into a skyline hmm
Filipino pride right here 💯 🇵🇭🔥 Filipino stance at it's best, tangina mo tol ganda ng Auto mo👌🔥
This car is so clean. Unbelievable build, different parts that made it possible. Even his sweater is fire asf too... means Fuc* you btw 🤣
You forgot to add your endscreen elements. Awesome car and video though.
Nani??!
Edit: Perfection.
Did Hoonigan quit and become a JDM channel?
Well this is Larry's channel and not the regular 7 honnigan channels
Garison Hoovestol have you even looked at what they recently posted on this channel? A Porsche, bmw, and camaro don’t scream jdm to me.
hedlund88
I don’t think a lot of people realize how many channels they have
@@mmwosu I know they have several channels, I am pointing out that their other channels have been absent and probably due to filming another project or they needed a break is all.
Garison Hoovestol
Well your wish is granted, the Daily Transmission channel just posted this morning
Im pretty sure the owner of tgat csr is a filipino
