Rip hoonigan to the end of an era

[@kevinmenard6792]

Rip hoonigan. It was falling apart a long time before we lost Ken but now it’s just sad.

[@brandon-hyde]

Given that this is on Hoonigan Project Garage, It's sad the boys are not in it. Suppy, Grim and the crew

[@jameswilde6713]

Just saw a vid of DDE moving in to the studio, now called “The Block” in honor of Ken. Sad to see Hoonigan die like it did.

[@Thrillrider10]

As much as I love the over-the-top expensive builds (IndyTruck, for example) this one just has so much character. It's a lot more attainable for the budget builder too, and I think that's my favorite part of it.

[@toddbrown4185]

This thing is seriously the best car to come out of Hoonigan. The expensive builds are cool, but this thing has so much presence to it

[@nateevink7237]

7:04 The guy from EMPI on the phone while elbow deep in the bug is a man doing business like I’ve never seen! 😂💼🤳😎

[@dallasbishop7929]

Start a hoonigan add channel For all the bloody promotions .

[@wildvandee1079]

I'm so glad that scumbug is finally Fixed and can't wait to see more

[@walterlarson5709]

That bug is one of my favorite vehicles of your fleet. It's just going to keep being awesome!!

[@frankmcnally996]

This is why you dont let people borrow your vehicle

[@maxwellclark2494]

I thought 💭 the guy in the grey shirt 👕 was nads for a second I miss nads 😂

[@philbarbato]

Man, I want to hang out with Jack. I want to hear more about that old lady who built motors and taught him how to make his own moly lube.

[@jcedeno117]

This right here. I love the scumbug and hoonigan is great, but we're completely glossing over the fact that there's an old lady who builds engines in her garage and makes her own lube. I need the story on this.

[@scf1jeffrey]

Scumbug needs a supercharger 👌👏

[@Junkpusher77]

His last run was sick. Blake Wkily’d right through those whoops. Foot hard down boys 🤘

[@BurntSwiss]

5:15 that one civic owner at 2:00 AM

[@undetermined_user]

That "it touched my butt" gave me "listen to the stream on this guy" vibes

[@pgmurray76]

11:08 Haaaaaaaaaa!

[@slade-runner6773]

You guys should of hit up CB Performance for their turbo fuel injection kit.

[@baloalpar4149]

I love Scumbug.

[@djneedles000]

That thing is really dope

[@jvepps]

100hp @ 2000 lbs is very whelming.

[@bigdfitness5020]

It's really not that much. 20 pounds per horsepower. My stock 06 330i is 13.5 pounds per horsepower and it's still "slow"

[@R.J._Lewis]

Pretty sure it's illegal to be just whelmed in America. You can only do that in Europe.

[@mattruth778]

We built a Plymouth arrow with a small block Mopar around 2300 lbs and 500 hp

[@violinmiata]

Every Miata driver agrees

[@carpNcoffee]

100 crank hp, so .....what....80 wheel? Full empi catalogue on a 2l. Hmmm.

[@wellandsfinest4766]

Watching this v that I get the usual opinion of what Brad and Blake said . Just remember those guys originally built that whole rig in a short amount of time , then this performance shop fixed it . They did still do most of that work so please don't discredit them . Busting knuckles is busting knuckles at the end of the day . Even if it isn't my rig, if I built some of it I'm gunna want some cred . Cheers brothers . The channel may not be totally the same but i believe it can still thrive . Mopar guy here saying love the crazy shit keep going

[@Berm_Blaster]

Man i miss riding around with my brother as a little boy in his baja bug. So many fun times

[@MrLincoln87]

"Wasnt our fault this time" Also "We didn't do any maintenance after Baja"

[@PigeonLaughter01]

Kody too nice to jump the tree, yall gotta teach him the ways of the scumbag! Haha

[@jasonhowell9589]

I need that work bench

[@Erik_mit_K]

Still like the video, but the funny thing in the past was that hoonigan built it, and alk that went on in the shop. I guess that times are gone. Feels sad a bit, but it's good for you that you can get sponsorship like that.

[@knight838_]

The build just makes me want to plan a New Beetle Baja project

[@TheTripledracingteam]

Same

[@bearrett50kal17]

Dude Cody is a wheelman, Hoonigans need to film him driving more, he just figured put the rhythm for those whoops third try in a car he's never driven

[@jamesweldon8118]

Scumbug is like the ship of theseus

[@tygrames5661]

Wow. 99.5 horsepower is actually less than my motorcycle lol

[@Taintlessdisc]

Can we hear how that motor blew from who did it?😂

[@krillonusa]

they mentioned it in ep1. not exactly who but enough to get the messsage

[@lukassonntag3956]

Being air cooled and in a hot climate why not run e85 to help keep temps down

[@taylorredlinger9878]

Okay now Zach's Jimmy on this vs that.

[@kens8903]

Every time I see this, it makes me want Baja bug so bad

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

11:35 oh those cheeks... Bug is cool too! :)

[@calebbrown2983]

Yo scumbug ate up those whoops!

[@1ton_mayhem]

I recognize 2 people in this whole video, what happened to the good old days

[@alexismerced2981]

Scumbug 💪💪💪yeaaaahhh

[@turboboy0]

if he hadn't totally blown the start every time he could have gotten the overall victory.

[@KHALABEEB]

Joe Blow supercharger kits are designed specifically for aircooled VWs and are available in a variety of performance levels...you're welcome

[@codyjohnson5674]

Did the bahja originally come from AZ? Green with a peace sign in top?

[@fatceaserdagreat241]

BAJA UPDATE!!!!! SCUMBUG ALERT!!!!

[@doktorzasinuse]

What music video was it featured in ?

[@jonathanwilson1672]

I don’t fully understand putting that much time and money into a brand new motor to make 100 hp. But it still is sick!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Whats the engine size? 1914cc?

[@chrisbunch226]

Why does he sound so proud of 100 hp? 😅

[@Mattyhacks71]

Because its a Volkswagen? The stock engine probably had like 55hp

[@piesareround]

Okay, cool, now get back to the godzilla Tahoe.

[@brettsimon2268]

Where is the new project vids, I miss them

[@tianiable]

Why the steering wheel its always on a wrong way in USA ????

[@mortenhansen7908]

All that for 100 hp damn 😅

[@charlieheath4345]

Bro 100hp 😢

[@alexpetro240sx]

Wazz up , gonna miss Vinni

[@anthonyscaglione8916]

wonder what it cost to make that 99.5hp? might have cost less to subaru swap it and make more horsepower reliably.

[@GasCapECBOK]

Probably $8,000 - 8,500 turnkey motor

[@rotgusiness7421]

Where the tank?

[@toddprickette8356]

will we be going back to BAJA ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@krisbuck2165]

Cherish this people as hoonigan is fucked now everyone has left the sinking ship

[@cliffp73]

2:19 can’t tell you how to make the Molly lube… it’s a secret.

[@benhoffman6606]

Under whelming!! Scumbug needs a 200hp/12,000rmp Ducati

[@matttheobald1224]

Music video said they got Scum Bug it was already prebroke

[@MorkEmperor]

Just don’t let reggaeton artists near this one again xD

[@MickeyD100]

That ad read for Permatex from Gary was perfect. I always skip the ads but that was too good. 😂

[@alphamajor0195]

Is the new engine still considered a “ Pancake 4 “ ?

[@cbloss8888]

Yup

[@doctorsatansrobot]

Sorry to be that guy... What vw people call a 'pancake' engine is what came in the type3, type4 and late buses where the cooling system is flat rather than having an upright fanshroud. What's in scumbug is still an 'upright' or 'type 1' engine.

[@alphamajor0195]

@@doctorsatansrobot oohh, okay, thank you for the clarification.

[@downhillchris2809]

BAJA UPDATE!

[@DapperGapper]

One loss and it needs an entire overhaul? 😭😭

[@Berm_Blaster]

What?

[@DapperGapper]

@@Berm_Blaster why are you questioning me?

[@Berm_Blaster]

@@DapperGapper cause your comment doesn't make sense?

[@DapperGapper]

@@Berm_Blaster ok so why question something if you assume it doesn’t make sense? Seems like a complete waste of time. Enjoy your day.

[@marshal7376]

Uses old oil cooler and lines? How long will this engine last with all that junk running in it?

[@bigdfitness5020]

Lol I'm sure they flushed it out good... I still would have replaced them though 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@marshal7376]

@bigdfitness5020 can flush forever and still not get everything, definitely should have replaced them.

[@ArneMandell]

Hilarious watching Blake and Brad take credit for this refresh in This v That 😅🤣😂

[@ryanhunter7365]

They took credit for the original build, that they did

[@Boogity100]

The bug didn’t exist till they built it you silly billy

[@dallasbishop7929]

They did the og build. Pay attention.

[@sjv6598]

How dare they take credit for a build they built 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mitsumike714]

Scumbug is now scambug It all feels cheap and forced now with the merger

[@user-neo71665]

There are very few young guys that know about enigines that were around before they were born. The young guys that do know chrge for it and the rest of us are grey beards.

[@russellsouza6077]

All that to get beat by a rav 4 send it back and give it some real power

[@somebodyelse5820]

Who are these people?

[@mrcurtis3714]

911 engine com'on what are you doing get ride of that..

[@harleywarin7923]

Subaru engine?

[@spewp]

Is this what Hoonigan is now? Just sending things out for others to build, no more wrenching themselves? What a sad place to end up. :(

[@user-jj5zh1is6v]

100 hp that suck for the about it would be to build this engine I'd do a swap I'll be higher hp stock

[@SteenslandMedia]

BAAAAAAAJJJJJJAAAAA UPDATE

[@AMS611]

I need a new scumbug shirt Please

[@lancehowe6046]

Scum bug needs an LS 😂

[@carlosvejar3938]

Adieu Mon Ami Scotto

[@sjv6598]

100hp from a 2 litre? Zzzzzz

[@Matty_dunne_94]

So is this just dead now.....? no more Hoonigan garage????

[@michaelbrisbane7508]

More scumbag content please. Give it like 250HP and I bet that thing is an absolute blast.

[@LJenkinsEsqIII]

Bruh. My 2 y/o has more than 100hp

[@YoungDolphh]

All that and it still got spanked by a lifted Rav4... WTFarfignugen?

[@campervanbug7658]

Bug was sandbaggin due to new driver, smoked him last run after some driver coaching

[@keithrindt7488]

All that $ for 100hp, coulda swapped anything even an s&s v twin and make more power

[@KapteinFruit]

The buggy won in style points for sure. The other car, I don't remember what it is, but it was very good as well.

[@bigdfitness5020]

The other car was built by Steph Papadakis 🤙🏼

[@Sebastian-zf7di]

scumbug only lost cus of the driver

[@rle4806]

Bring back s*** car bringing back s*** car bringing back s*** car. Bring back shit card bring back shit car

[@Don_Johnson521]

Dude hoonigan is done they’re not bringing back anything

[@Harleybobber]

I cannot stand Gary! He never could replace Hert!

[@WH17Y]

Nice to see your sponsors still providing you with free stuff while the rest of us pay a premium so they can. 🙄

[@ryanstuve]

Content. Rip.

[@drfranks1158]

too bad scumbug got beat by a rav4 on it's rebirth... but glad to see it ripping again.
