He was taken captive by Somalis for 11 days, they even tried to kill him **THREE TIMES** this was obviously not enough. The day Mike Durant was saved, The song “Hells Bells” by AC/DC was playing over where Mike Durant had been taken to. Little did the Somalis know, the US Military was searching for him, and they weren’t going down without a fight. On October 14th, 1993, nearly 11 days after Mike Durant was taken captive, he was saved, and in one hell of a way too.. As bullets reigned fire over the area, they saved Mike.. That goes to prove how badass America is lmfao. How’s that for badass? lol

The Honda S800 has some interesting and amusing history. 1 - The first car (in Europe) to have a sub liter engine and can break the 100 MPH barrier. 2 - When they were dyno testing the engine, and removed the limiter, it broke the engine dyno. 3 - The engine is very interesting. A Dual overhead cam, 8 valve, long stroke inline 4

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

@@rustedratchetgarage6788 I am not 100% on it, but I think the Honda S800 only has around 70 HP @ 8000 RPM. I think the S800 can rev up to 11,000 RPM without the Govner, and at that time I think it was the first car engine that could rev that high. I think the dyno shook apart from over revving, while the car engine didn't.

[@wowaddict71]

[@alexmartinez280]

JohnSmith FakeName The the car being under 800kg that 70bhp is proper quick. The energy transferred to the driver from engine speeds that this engine is capable of, ~12k rpm, is supercar levels of excitement. Add to that Italian style carburetors to add insane induction noise and the package as a whole is legendary to the few that know about this classic gem. Thanks for the added info!

[@VirtualGuth]

I'll preface my overly lengthy comments with a couple of things: I have never seen your channel before But at a quick glance it appears that most of the builds you feature seem to be far better executed than those I am personally aware of. I'm also not much of a movie guy and so I must admit to the fact that I do not know who Daniel Wu is. One thing that I apparently do have in common with Daniel is that I too am a Honda fan. In my case, for most of my life (literally). My first Honda, of the sort that that zips around on two wheels, came at around 9 years of age and now almost 50 years later I still own two, a motorcycle and a car - a CB1100 and a S2000. My approach, for the most part, has been to leave my Honda's (cars and motorcycles alike) almost completely stock. I imagine that there isn't a whole lot of crossover between our respective worlds other than the fact that if nothing else car guys always have a passion for cars in common. Yet when the thumbnail for this S800 video popped up in my KZbin feed I couldn't help but click 'n watch. Given my background, it shouldn't come as a surprise that when I see an incredibly rare and beautiful car like a S800 has been fairly extensively modified, my gut reaction is "God, no!". The reality is that the vast majority of "builds" that I've been exposed to are cars that have been butchered without any clear vision minus the funds, time, and effort spent to make them worthy of the cars that were consumed in the process. But through the course of watching this video it quickly became apparent that this particular build was an entirely different beast (and what an awesome little beast it is). When I learned that this build resulted from salvaging what would likely been two cars that eventually would have found their way to the crusher, I couldn't help but love it. Daniel's vision that exists at the very core of this build is incredible. That he was able to do justice to his vision by ensuring that the proper level of commitment was carried out (both in terms of the quality of the materials used and the quality of the work that was done) over every square inch of this car is truly what makes this build so wonderful. I honestly can't find any fault with this car. Every single choice Daniel made works in perfect harmony, both visually and functionally with every other choice. That is such a rare thing to see executed in this day and age of instant gratification. Not that Daniel would concern himself with what a random guy like me thinks, but in all honestly, the greatest compliment I can pay to this car, and to Daniel, is that even I - "Mr. Keep That Rare Honda Stock", can't help but be totally mesmerized by this amazing S800. It is truly a work of art that honors the craft of doing things the right way. I personally would not say that this car is "better" so much than it is "different" than say a well preserved or expertly restored original S800 (I've spent some time admiring an unbelievably clean original S600 Coupe up close and feel they are incredibly cool cars just as they left the factory). But in this case, "different" is a jaw-droppingly beautiful thing. I can honestly say I hope when the time comes that this car finds it's way into the hands of a new owner (hopefully far, far down the road), that they do not change a single thing. I thank Daniel Wu for sharing his car with the reset of us and I thank Hoonigan Auto Focus for making it happen. You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks as the saying goes, but when the circumstances are right you can open his eyes up to the beauty of this world in places where he would never expect to find it. With much respect, Peace

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Wow, thank you for watching.

[@skyb8687]

Word..

[@phila3884]

Great, honest post. In general I appreciate (and search for myself), the most original examples of whatever catches my fancy at the time, but I would love to have this car. I actually have an earlier S600- all original. What is a big turn-off, and not just in the car world BTW, are people who are so rigid in their opinion of what's right and wrong there is no flexibility whatsoever- it's almost a disease really. Sometimes it really is just a car.

[@KTCChan]

Daniel Wu is one of the biggest action stars in current Chinese cinema (Top 5 I'd say). He might not be as well known outside Asian markets as Donnie Yen (of Ip Man fame), but he is pretty well known in Asia, having starred in 50+ films, mostly action films and the occasional chick flick (chicks DIG his looks). Think of him as Chinese Tom Cruise. I never knew he was such a huge car guy. Saw his other builds and his collection only made me respect him even more. A lot of action stars drives fast cars outside of movies just for the looks and attention. Daniel Wu actually being a real car guy gets some mad respect from me.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

My story is very similar, with the exception of being a huge movie guy. I own an S2000CR, NT650, VFR800 and an XR650R supermotard. My daily driver is a WD21 Pathfinder, which also make me a bit of a Nissan nerd. My personal machines aside, I found this car's story very interesting as well. My originality nerd always goes off when mods are discussed, but in the case of saving tow cars to make one perfect example I couldn't agree more; especially when it's done this well. Cheers.

[@Anespian1]

Daniel have made some cool 'gangsterish' movies back in Hong Kong. This car is such a reflection on him. One of Larry's pic of Daniel walking off with the car just scream bad ass. Fantastic built!

[@colkelley]

In 1968 my father spent a few months on Guam working for Lockheed on the fleet ballistic missile submarines. His rental car was a Honda S800 and he loved it. Flash forward to 1974 and I reported to VQ-1 (Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron ONE) as a Navy Airborne Electronic Warfare Officer. One of the first things I did was start searching for a Honda S800 since, after all, I had learned to drive and had taken my driving test in a 1960 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite. I found an S800 hatchback in a dirty, rusty color with an engine that had been modified for autocross so it was pumping out 135 HP at 12,000 RPM. Rev it to 8000 RPM and dump the clutch and you left 75-100 feet of black rubber stripes. Drove it, started working on the body and the interior and noticed that the clutch was starting to show wear. Took it to the local (and only) Honda dealership for a new clutch. When I got it back two weeks later it would barely move and the dealership would not talk to me or look at my S800. Took it to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the engine had been severely over-revved and it had swallowed a piston ring. I contacted the Honda dealership and told them they had to fix it because they readily admitted that their Chief Mechanic had gone to test drive, had missed a shift and revved it to an estimated 14,000 RPM. They told me to F-off. They refused to fix it and refused to order the parts for me from Honda. When I threatened to call the Better Business Bureau they wished me a happy trip to Hawaii and the nearest BBB. I deployed regularly to Japan and found out that Honda had a policy in Japan at the time that they would only provide parts to dealerships and the Japanese dealerships would not then sell the parts to me. My S800 became a permanent paperweight and I had no choice but to scrap it. I still have a few pictures and some great memories. Now I drive a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX that has beaten a Ferrari California in a 0-60 head-to-head. Not bad for age 71.

Edward Okeyo Obala isn’t Wu also known as the carpet pisser in the big Lebowski ?

[@Joe11Blue]

@@DxModel219 helps that the car is basically designed like a rolling work of art.

Great taste in women too. Lisa S is a smoke show!

Daniel Wu: hahahaha gangster

[@patireland9408]

Thanks for bringing this car back. It's a very nice period sports car that is rarely seen. The project is well finished all around. Well done.

[@brenden8783]

Loved this car from the moment I saw a snippet of it at sema, very well executed. Also i have been obsessed with S800's since Phill Pennys JESUS hit the scene about 10 yrs ago, give that one a goog if you havent seen it.

[@reinori8322]

Chapeau to Daniel Wu. He did right by this car - I love it. Not to short change you Larry, that was a satisfying video, I was enthralled.

[@DIGPLatinodriftking1]

What a legend! I admire this guy even more! Having watched Into the Badlands I recognized his name immediately!

[@Wildicon19]

This '68 Honda S800 is a nice classic! You sure brought it back to life! I once owned a Datson 510, and I miss it! It was one of my favorite cars!

[@ruhelmiah880]

Honestly this car made me emotional I teared up is so beautiful

Back in 1973 I had the privilege of driving the S800 regularly because I worked as a director of a Honda Car Dealer/Garage. It made the Mini Cooper look like a Morris Minor on the start block. I loved it's motorbike power. Incredible for the 1970's. Even today I can remember some of the part numbers...

"I don't like to put radios in my cars cause I like to listen to the motor" 1000 salutes to you sir. On an another note I am a fan of your acting work since New Police Story. Currently waiting for S04 of Into The Badlands. Keep up the great work and of course stay safe during this pandemic.

[@scramblendan]

So much to say. I am really impressed with Daniel's depth of knowledge and commitment to this project. I'm just going to leave it at Sweet car, cool guy, great video...Wow

[@maxthrust976]

Car is gorgeous, and the wheels are fantastic!

[@Trevorcraft71]

i come back to this video from time to time because its honestly just my favorite car.

[@bathwaterbuffalo]

The s quattro is staring at me... I live in the bay area. I can feel it calling me from his garage 😂

[@Panthercholo]

If it ever gets stolen they'll know who to contact...

[@yamza8415]

lmao, yessir

[@DrCh0ngo]

Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever. I love it.

[@sam_s_]

I am so glad it isn't slammed with stretched tires and a bunch of camber. It looks so good.

[@dvtc8u]

could do with an inch drop i reckon. it just sits slightly high for its size.

[@cheesymoi]

@@dvtc8u so glad he did it and not you

[@danishjifren3570]

That car is one of the luckiest of its kind! Great Job Mr Wu!

[@xozindustries7451]

That really is a beautiful car. I’m even more impressed that he turned wrenches on it himself

[@AustinSchargorodski]

This is one of the greatest builds I’ve ever seen, no question.

[@qk28]

Gosh, Daniel got taste and passion on this dope! Gorgeous masterpiece!

[@jasonschoenmann2308]

Iv'e been lucky enough to see this thing in person and no photo or comparison does justice to how comically small and awesome this thing is.

[@dinosoup]

wow, didn't know this car existed until this video and now i MUST own one...

[@PatHaskell]

I had a 1972 Honda 600 Coupe and it was microscopic!!! 2 cylinder engine, 13” wheels, full size spare, FWD, shifter came out from under the dash and was able to shoe horn 4 of us in it when I was in high school.

[@T-o-m-s]

Was waiting on this vid since last video you did with his datsun and we saw this sweet honda in the back! Cool content! Keep up the great work
