[@alixs_life]

So sad to see this channel has gone down in views by thousands. The amount of knowledge and quality you bring to the honda community is incredibly appreciated. This should easily be some of the best content.

[@1anre]

Why did it go down

[@thefoatmedia]

I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏

[@preslavpavlov7188]

Love Honda

[@thefoatmedia]

Thank you for watching. We appreciate it.

[@fastminivan]

Holy cow never realized the history of Hondata wow😮

[@thefoatmedia]

A lot of motorsports history with hondata.

[@josephp7347]

I like how the how the new FlashPro mini and sleek and stealthy and hidden away!

[@thefoatmedia]

Yes it’s awesome to see that change.

[@Auto_Xer]

This is what the CR-Z, GK Fit/Jazz, and GM City needs!

[@thefoatmedia]

Yes it’s a great swap for these cars to give more power.

[@Brohnson]

As a amateur engine builder, I’ve always been excited and interested in building a Honda engine. With these new advancements in L Swaps, truly anything is possible. I have a K Swapped Toyota MR2 and would love to drop an L15 in it for a rear track queen. My favorite part of this is seeing how Doug talk about how although Hondata is a small company, they’re making massive waves in the new age of hot rod builders.

[@thefoatmedia]

Well said!

[@chinglee3710]

Love the reliability of Honda. Was debating if I want to tune my Integra Type S but this video make me believed I'm able to run a custom tune while stay reliable!

[@thefoatmedia]

Glad I could help! We appreciate you watching our Behind The Ride video

[@James-bm5jh]

My favorite thing in this is that they came make a stock Honda motor get 50 percent more power with just the flash pro and all stock parts. I have a 1996 Honda Civic Ex Coupe and wish I could afford a Hondata flash pro mini this giveaway makes that possible!

[@thefoatmedia]

That awesome isn’t it. Thank you for watching.

[@ghostdeinidagr8462]

7:45 227 MPH./ QUALIFYING WOW! 9:04 “Only running about 750-800🐎 power” 😂 5:10 “Between me and my wife we have about 50 land speed records” -Relationship goals🥹 You’re one lucky man Doug. 10:48 “What Hondata is very dedicated to is, green solutions because you have clean, and green, and fast”. I love this😍 12:32 I need this Hondata Flash Pro mini for my Liquid carbon De5 😩 Good luck and God bless 😬

That sounds like an awesome build. Thank you for watching our Behind The Ride Episode.

Awesome video🤘🏽love my 13 9thgen si with hondata

[@thefoatmedia]

Right on! What else do you have done to your civic? Thank you for watching our video

[@9thgensi13]

Not to much just a dc Sri and fullrace exhaust!!

[@markvincentchua]

Definitely like the part where Doug said about the crZ that you don't need to remove the cat converter to make more power. Reducing carbon emissions at the same time. Imo, this route with the crZ is going to be present in future car events if Honda decides to apply the same technology of the nsx to the Type R.

[@thefoatmedia]

Couldn't agree more! It’s a real game changer.

[@JdmDarkness]

It was interesting when you guys were talking about the new generation engine swap. Builts are gonna be crazy when that hits. I'm sure will be seeing some EG's, EK's with L15 engine swaps soon

[@thefoatmedia]

Yes the L15 swap will be a game changer. The future will have some amazing builds.

I have had the pleasure to meet both Nick from the foat & Doug from Hondata. What they do for the Honda community is amazing. Thank you both and much success in 2024 and beyond. Now I have only used Hondata n will never use any other tune software. Must say definitely the best available. Excited about the new flashpro mini since it is smaller n eliminates the cord. From multitune, Bluetooth and many other features & products Hondata you are #1. Thanks again

[@thefoatmedia]

You and me both! Thank you for watching our video.

[@bearlucidity]

Cool to see l15s being swapped into the crz. That’s my favorite part because in the future if my engine blows up I’ll be able to replace it. I hope I am lucky enough to win the FlashPro mini. Thank you for the Honda and l15 content Edit: grammar, be8ng == being

Dang that’s pretty cool how he got up to 300mpg 😳

Right! Another fun fact is that their CRX that’s gone over 200 mph was done with a K20 engine that was de-stroked to a 1.5L.
