[@Fix-It-Jeff]

Key to KZbin success with a car channel. 1. Buy cheap car thats fun. 2. Absolutely destroy it. 3. Fix car and make it look crazy. 4. Repeat steps 2 + 3. 5. Becomes an Icon. HOONIGAN

[@joshjablonicky171]

Yeah but to bad hoonigan has jumped the shark an milking all they can now. Old content crap content to may side channels.its sad hoonigan was once a great channel.

[@imnota]

Not really tho. Sadly the most popular car channels on KZbin are like this : 1. Buy expensive car (even better if you hate it but bought it because your subs like it) 2. Spend twice what the car is worth on aftermarket parts 3. Never drive it 4. Start again with another car

[@Raleiigh]

Well better than ricing my car in 10 minutes videos.

[@bryantb3391]

Or money would work too

[@cadenmcdonald5085]

@@joshjablonicky171 you still watched the video. Don’t complain.

[@MacktasticSlick_]

The gains and losses on Dan’s beard throughout the video was great lol

[@huszaratraktor]

6:55 Tools needed to torque a flywheel properly: - 24v milwaukee impact gun - nothing else

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

huszaratraktor Yeah, that's 100% correct.

[@Chukijay]

With a super long extension that’s definitely not torque rated lolol

[@TheNevada666]

if it works it works :V

[@TheAdatto]

Just tighten just before it snaps. It's no cilinder head

[@AnthonyBowman]

Two ugga-duggas is all it take. Three if you're headed out for a track day.

[@xcixera9998]

Watching y’all since late 2016, crazy how time flies.

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@reggiexp69]

im here since youtube recommanded me it to me.. i used to watch all the gymkana :) but my first video of them was at the spot they are now. might even be the first video of them.. i dont remember could be i was already subbed for gymkana

[@TheHoonigans]

Next Monday kicks off Garage Garage double Sh#tweek (10 back to back episodes of $hitCar becoming a sick car). After that 621 Golden returns. Until then we figured we’d hit you with some extra content! Who remembers when we first bought the $200 Miata?

[@1970HondaCL100]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@hillbillyhippie597]

With all this wonderful shitness I’m gonna have to stock up on peppto 💩🤣

[@Cosm1cCream]

HAPPY FRIDAY PEOPLE!! Perfect content for the day!! Thanks ya hoons

[@milochothia]

i miss Kikawa

[@Talex-td6xf]

That and Zac having his first Hoon in it...

[@ChivalryE34]

Here's to Kikawa making it rain wherever his Tesla has taken him.

[@gatlincasey1]

ChivalryE34 I miss Kikawa!!!

[@djmips]

:`(

[@biggerboostksa6831]

Where did he go ?

[@MrBlockoh]

5.3 Supercharged he got a job elsewhere, as far as I know according to the video, they left on good terms

[@reggiexp69]

we all miss him.. he disapeared.. curious if hert still talks to him... like where they really friends... they still hang?

[@aviberkovichhhh]

Let’s not forget Dan notched every tube by hand with an angle grinder

[@Ohdsko]

1. Dan is a badass 2. I can't believe I've been watching you guys for years and 3. Kikawa :(

[@jorgemendizabal6596]

I love how they took all these old clips and made one of the sickest time lapse . Props for digging out this rare footage.

[@ryboodle]

Who was here when they bought this?

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

🤘🏼

[@legodude19999]

Yuuuurrrt

[@fiercenet]

Kikawa sent me

[@JMNTN]

i was here before shitcar lol

[@looneyhoonsvietnam8911]

Yoza 🤟

[@TheTsunamijuan]

Man I have missed seeing/listening to Dan build cars. He does a great job of explaining what hes doing, and including people in his thought process. Plus hes just an awesome dude!

[@tricore6408]

the best X min build on YT! you can actualy see the build, and not a spead up timelapse

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

👌🏼

[@mkknnnzzzz]

Can't believe I've been here since before the very first episode of daily transmission. Oh the good ol days

[@izzdin6228]

Time flies man. I found out about Hoonigan around mid 2018 when a friend of mine sent me a link to Ken Block's gymkhana. I saw "Hoonigan" all over that mustang & went on to find the Hoonigan yt channel. Subbed since then.

[@kennynakato3109]

Same Jabby! It’s been cool to see how far it’s come!

[@ROBERT-ws8py]

this just reminded me of the old videos....I loved them so much...I was hyped every day....I just waited all day to watch them

[@leonpresta394]

Watching Dan make the exo skeleton taught me so much! It was what made me feel confident to try new things! Thanks Danger Dan! 😜

[@stevedwong1346]

This is the "slickest" time lapsed vid out there, Period. Cheers's from East-Van B.C, Canada.

[@telecomwiz2004]

My favorite dude on the channel and my favorite build.

[@ViperDemonWright]

Was just looking, wow hard to believe DT has been up for almost 3 years, now we have multiple channels and more content than ever, it's truly awesome! Everything from rat rods to exotics... now a frakin monster truck, and it was one my fav drivers, so always something for everyone, thanks. BTW more rc cam stuff that was cool, I can't believe that thing lived after that love tap, I thought it was pancaked for sure! Thanks for the entertainment, can't wait to see what the future brings!

[@thejacksonmurphy]

Kikawa throwback! Yes!!!!

[@SamDallison]

We definitely need this in Forza!

[@amberionik]

Yes we do

[@makingmark818]

Probably my favorite build from the hoonigans! Dan is a madman

[@RyanMcIntyre]

I followed Shartcart every episode! Dan, you're an incredible fabricator and you built a fun and bulletproof car!

[@isaacberry5023]

My favourite Hoonigan creation by farrrr!!! Such an awesome little weapon of a car 🔥🔥 hats off to Dan and the team for doing such a good job on it

[@Josh-db8rf]

These sharkcart vids actually made sitting at home in bad weather so much more enjoyable cause your learning stuff and its fun

[@misery13666]

I believe I was already subscribed, but this was the build that got me hooked on Hoonigan.

[@jasonmuratore219]

One of my favorite build series

[@a.jameskurlyandskaya-galea7724]

One of Hoonigans most beloved project cars

[@jamesborst8383]

One of the best builds you guys have done

[@hapyharyhard0n581]

One of the best videos yall have put out. full stop

[@joealex65]

ShartKart is the OG of the real OG's, one of the best transformations EVER!

[@johnmoser2689]

Nice job recapping the build Excellent ending

[@Fallyn2911]

This just shows that Dan's fab work is over 9000! #Respect

[@WhereverHugo]

Wow, time really flies! Didn't feel like you guys owned the Miata for that long!

[@brianseymour4233]

Damn I can't believe its been three years when you guys bought that thing! Time flies when your having fun!

[@callsign._onyx]

1:44 that was a loud high five

[@theogagentnate]

I would love to do things like this. I get so excited watching these types of videos

[@wotchnloern13]

really love that crazy miata and dan's one of the best! awesome to see that change of shartkart ✌

[@82leone]

So sick Dan put in so much wrench time and just kept making it RAD 😎👍

[@johnvonmartin7501]

The technicality and creativity is really crazy. Hats off to your dedication.

[@Chaswitdacatfishmouf]

@hoonigan I watch your videos in my truck so I get proper bass slaps with these awesome b-roll beats

[@ruidiasbraga]

very good editing and footage, congrats!

[@jeepcollector91]

Dan should be proud. *SHARTKART* turned out amazing!

[@Kalandaari]

Damn, feels like a long time ago ! I remember being sad to see this little Miata getting abused, and also being overjoyed when they decided to save it ! All cars should be loved, not abused ! Or at least "abused" the right way, like burnouts, or on track ;)

[@vest0079]

I remember being sad seeing Darnall leave Hoonigan, he was great, but karma gave us Dan, who is now my favourite hoonigan 🤙

[@BLVCKFLAGD]

Love this build...We also have a $200 Miata (and another $300 Miata) and watched the whole series before building our kart

[@chandlereberhard5183]

Hands down, the sickest Hoonigan vehicle.

[@lightscrafts]

Insanely cool! 🏎

[@bigpolska6085]

I know the video doesnt do the ACTUAL man hours justice but,,, this video is just friggin dope. I love the footage of the boya doin work. I can appreciate being a fellow tech and all

[@tylervanorman492]

Great evolution of the crew at the DG too!!!

[@clayfranche9173]

When the guy who was supposed to fix your junk becomes your main content contributor. Danger Dan ladies and gentlemen.

[@killiankearney9740]

flashback to when ken brought the fiesta to the lot and said he must come back to finish. Still waiting.

[@junkpusha]

Can’t believe how far this came considering what you’ve done to it

[@hillbillyhippie597]

So sick!! Such a badass cart 👍🏻

[@Tech-bv9oj]

I miss these days of hoonigan! Bring back the builds!!!!!

[@joshhardin666]

holy crap! that miata kart is f'n fresh, son! - you guys have managed to free the essence of the miata from it's practicality and turn it into rad little racer.

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

DAN THE MAN! :D Awesome work boyz!

[@sneaky022]

literally the sickest car ever

[@2cawks]

I love Shartkart, it's so rad.

[@cablessleeping]

Best Hoonigan video since the last Gymkhana.

[@Unclesteve16]

That was really cool to watch!! Bad ass content!!

[@justinl2458]

Dan is so damn good. Love his fab work 🤘🤘🤘

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome thanks guys will be doing this if I can get one cheap but it will be for a street car and put a classic car body on top but will do my homework first to see what it needs to be legal in New Zealand 👍🏾👍🏾

[@GoGetterGarage]

I remember when you guys jumped this thing off of the ramp!! Lol

[@yelruta]

Holy shit Dan said "a few years ago" and I immediately realized just how much time I've invested into the channel (s). What a trip.

[@camflies9105]

Rad!!! Now it's time for a turbo!

[@hugeot1182]

still the goat hoonigan build

[@growintux9304]

Cool timelapse work

[@nolimitjay6269]

The drift at the and was sick

[@cazus_m2863]

absolutely rad shartkart. Like it🚗🚀

[@MacktasticSlick_]

This is the content I wanna see!

[@MrRX75]

U guys stepped it up. Amazing vid

[@walterespinoza2235]

I remember and loved the shark cart vids... I gotta miata and thus gave me the ambition to do something to it😁🤣

[@j4n814]

Bro those timelapse shots are fire

[@adrianwelgemoed9562]

I remember the 1st into reverse burnouts that were done in it before it was sharted. That was probably the only fun thing you could do with it then

[@demitrisolvinski]

Dan's Miata is SICK!

[@tombrenes2411]

That's why Dan's the Man ! ! !

[@lelouch1990itachi]

Damn... Seeing kikawa and brad in one video almost made me tear up.. Crazy how much the hoonigans have gone thru

[@doloresberry3144]

YESS FINALLY MORE SHART

[@philippehebert6483]

3 years already! Wow they grow up so fast!

[@DudaZachary]

Do more of these time lapse builds. I dont know shit about cars except change oil and brake pads and rotors. But super awesome to watch.

[@mottoloveurlala]

Yo that bumper is dope

[@RussellKirstein]

I like this style of video

[@mistreku]

sick moves at the end!

[@ajrcraftgames1134]

just reminding me of how good the miata 1.8L engine is, and how much i love it

[@dr.geraldyaya3203]

if you registered it in Florida it'd still be road legal 🤣

[@JuanGarcia-oi8ci]

They should Have cleetus get it registered for them over there haha

[@MullnerFab]

Dr. Gerald Ya Ya Indiana too with proper brake and turn signals

[@HackFeSt1]

TheJeepKitchen how long do you have love there?

[@Jeremeytickle27]

Same with NC! Just need headlights, tail lights, turn signals and a horn lmao

[@Ricky-1]

And if you registered it in one state in America you'd go to jail I'm not gonna which one because you probably know where I'm talking about

[@codyserr7331]

Love the shart cart

[@Gerald.69]

skeletonizing non sporty cars makes them look better 10/10 times. I did this to a few mini quads and regular quads by removing all plastics and doing stage 3 mods, and i loved them

[@gmartineza8775]

Damn this took me back to the good old times

[@aserta]

Hoonigan Time Train. Choochoo motherlovers, get in!!!

[@upbypnw]

Oh man, I want a go kart styled drift missile like this!

[@danielkee6994]

Glad brad off the show

[@jcgarage7889]

Love everything about this..

[@dacugna567]

nostalgia right here ahahah

[@srtphantom7029]

i thought about doing this before seeing this video that’s wild , now i wana do it even more

[@David-nl3il]

Damn, I would love an opportunity to build something like this, this is so dope.

[@onsight2822]

Great video guys 😎👍

[@Chris.Davies]

I'm only 2 minutes in, and already I am concerned. What's gonna keep the rear wheels on the ground??? Are you gonna put some concrete blocks in the back? (Edit: 11:30 - I guess not! 🤣) One of the things I love about my 928, is the fact that it weighs 1,500 kilos wet and sits on 225 wide tyres. With 42 lbs (hot) in the tyres, the amount of traction obtained from the small contact patch is incredible. I love the supercharger. For a road car they are terribly inefficient, and my supercharged 911 road legal race car was a gas monster, because of the constant drag on the engine when not boosting. But for the track? OMG - it's so much better than a turbo, because the power delivery is absolutely smooth throughout the rev range: And the more revs you pour on, the more boost you get! What's not to love?? :)

[@oscarvillarreal8951]

I'm not going to lie, this kart looks Freaking COOL 👍!

[@ModMotorsBR]

Rad Dan is a mad man!

[@macauleydecostsa]

It's a GO-CAR!!

[@jeff_the_panda9034]

Everyone: ya the miata is like a go cart. The Hoonigans: Like?
