Honda Heaven! Kanjo & Race Spec Civics at Zero Fighter | Japan in a Van Ep. 5

One of the coolest Honda shops in Japan, Zero Fighter is packed with Race and Kanjozoku spec Civics. We head to the hills stopping in Osaka JDM and Full Stage along the way before receiving a very warm welcome from the staff at Zero Fighter in Nara.
In 2019 we went back to Japan. Hungry for more after "Japan Without a Plan", we aimed to seek out AE86's, Street drifting, Kanjo culture, tuning shops and much more.
In this twelve-part special, we buy another van and travel up the east coast, documenting as much as we could, getting ourselves into some hilarious situations.
Enjoy our journey through Japanese car culture over the next few weeks. This one has been a long time coming.

Dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown =)

[@jimmyrandy8251]

@Luis Roland Yea, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

[@Primenumber19]

You should make a pilgrimage to Japan once every couple years to make one of these. Best content on KZbin.

[@slimzy1990]

💯

[@baronvonricer]

Without a doubt

[@Shtillmatic]

Be great if a few of the Japanese lads came over to Ireland!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Thats the plan! Would love to do this once a year, I think we could make it happen

[@oesoy]

@@juiceboxforyou i'll totally subscribe and support your patreon if you have one! Especially for content like this!

[@baronvonricer]

I feel like KZbin isn’t promoting these videos like they should. Probably due to some weird localization algorithm. There’s no reason these videos shouldn’t have millions of views. They’re just too damn good.

[@The.Gavin.T]

I've only just found the series and all I watch on KZbin is cars. Definitely a underrated series!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I love how that night with those kanjo racers has won Ruben over

[@juiceboxforyou]

Funny how that happens

[@JoaoCABJ]

Imagine being in a honda tuner shop and talking about scanias and volvos

[@wahpanda1520]

yeah cause there's more to tuning cars then just hondas.

[@JoaoCABJ]

@@wahpanda1520 i know it was sarcasm about how weird is to talk about trucks and buses in a honda tuning shop

[@c_tatsu5525]

ying and yang man.. thats it.... cant be stoned all day.. get drunk

[@AlexTsekot]

And you had to travel to the other side of the world to japan just for them to ask you about Scanias xD To be fair though I'd imagine Japanese car enthusiasts long for things they can't have/don't see just as much as us in the west long for GTRs etc.

[@JoaoCABJ]

@@AlexTsekot for me was kinda weird but thats why japanese people are importing us cars and making lowriders , hot rods and drag cars

[@AlexTsekot]

"Everyone in Japan has no legs" haha that came out of nowhere, I'm dying xD

[@juiceboxforyou]

😂

[@elecktr1]

Glad you added the part with deers, it was so heartwarming.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I can't believe how close they got without startling them

[@TheJDMPhil]

@@Matty.Hill_87 you don't walk up to the deer in Nara, they come to you! 😂

[@Matty.Hill_87]

@@TheJDMPhil it's crazy man, I never knew this place existed but my bucket list of Japanese places to visit is growing fast because of these episodes 😂

[@TheJDMPhil]

@@Matty.Hill_87 It's an incredible place! Can't wait to go back 🙏🏻 lets just hope it's soon haha!

[@davidmullett2340]

The only reason to look forward to mondays

[@Eire247]

The production quality is unreal but the content is even better again!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers

[@MTP_CHANNEL_]

I love how chill some of these shops are

[@juiceboxforyou]

Yeah man! We never knew what way it would go tbh but I'm glad it worked out.

[@BeardedCollectables]

Japan is such a beautiful place! Those Honda's were incredible! Especially the EF civics! 😍 I'm so pleased I found your channel. I've been on a little binge watch and I'm loving it. I could watch your videos all day! 😂

[@ThatGreyAvant]

I never want this series to end, honestly lads this is pure gold. The atmosphere and feel of these videos is something else, as someone who's never been on holiday or even got a car yet, this series gives me the lust for life Ive needed since lockdown. Thank you to all the lads at juicebox!

[@stevekeogh7825]

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EACH EPISODE NEIL !

[@juiceboxforyou]

Nice one Steve, cheers 🍻

[@SHERMA.]

[@11metalfan]

Yeah, would love to have it on dvd

[@juiceboxforyou]

@@11metalfan That could deffo happen down the line ill see if I can purchase the bits.

[@DanStap]

24:00 Reuben looks like a 3rd year student who hasn't finished his woodwork project and is still trying to justify it.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Hahahahahahahaha

[@suomynonaanonymous9646]

all kinds of deer, "big deer, small deer..." what a lad

[@juiceboxforyou]

Its looking like another six weeks of it so far

[@DKTAz00]

Lapping up the culture, that bit had me dying xD

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers!

[@DannyZiegler86]

Thank you so much for these videos. I was feeling pretty jaded about the car scene lately, but this series has instantly reminded me of how much this stuff means to me. You single-handedly re-ignited a passion in me that I forgot I still had.

[@juiceboxforyou]

I feel you there, there were so many moments on this trip that reminded us why we love this stuff.

[@mironovaes8650]

These episodes are unreal. So much work have clearly gone into it, fair play man and cheers for the free content. Keep it up

[@willitohernandez1094]

I would have loved to be there in Japan @ Honda Tuning Shop and experience seeing not only JDM Hondas, Krazy 1 of a kind builds & of course I'd love to see all the other JDM Legends we all love, desire, want & crave. To experience Japan's raw car culture , amongst other things. I hope to 1 day have the pleasure to experience.

[@motoroulette2333]

Gowan the Ladds, culchies lappin up the culture, nothing better. Dont let Ruben nara the phoenix park back home lol, he seemed to like thems deers a bit too much. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us, we are the lucky ones getting a first hand glimpse into the real Japanese lifestyle. Wow! Honda heaven is on the money. I could live at ZeroFightR for the rest of my days like a stray dog and be as happy as Ruben around deer. Lookin forward to next weeks episode. Ooooh drift day is here guys and I can only hope one of u try to buy one of those GTIR's. Ive always said to myself if I get there I wont be leaving without one if not the two of those "MINT" Pulsars. Keep her lit Lads..

[@juiceboxforyou]

I was half expecting reubens face to pop out of the toilet when you zoomed in.. somebody’s gotta make an edit of that

[@G_Ozare]

That Intro edit + Music is PERFECTION.

[@sidewaysfoxbody]

just the thought of knowing there are people as excited about cars as you is neat.. not something i've ever experienced in real life yet and i'm almost 30.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Its a sickness

[@ezwr3kz420]

Also glad to see Reuben has caught the Honda bug! That Kanjo experience has changed him and I'm not surprised, fear can do some funny things 😄

[@juiceboxforyou]

@@ezwr3kz420 Hahaha big time!

[@Roughsmoke]

Haha - The weird machine as you say guys is a rice maker. I'll tell the Hayashi-Sama and the Zerofighter guys you thought it was for coffee lol.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Hahaha no way! Yeah we were proper confused.

[@Roughsmoke]

@@juiceboxforyou Yep, just bang the rice in there with appropriate amount of water and in 40 minutes you’ve got yourself so you f the good stuff 👍

[@MentleGan]

Once again with the sweet SWEET content! This penthouse is dreams come true right there. A rainy night in Japan, just enjoying the sound of rain taps on the wooden structure🤩

[@juiceboxforyou]

What id give to be back there now

[@tegboy]

Could a bank holiday Monday get any better??... yes, juicebox Monday!

[@SlowlysModels]

Just what the doctor ordered, 100cc's of pure automotive passion on display! Also 4:39 ... Model cars, hell yeah! I have that same blue Ballade kit!

[@Imrickjamesbitches1]

Love these videos. Quality content.

[@5hu7o]

aussie accent was spot on!

[@troutvisionllc]

i bought Vinyl online from the Osaka jdm guys and they were nice to me and stoked that I wanted to represent their brand in the US. even asked about my cars.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Thats pretty cool, the lads are very genuine

[@ChinzoPhoto]

living the best life. I miss japan and can't wait to revisit.

[@juiceboxforyou]

I hear ye!

[@multipurposepaperbox]

amazing series so far. Choice of music is on point, so is the commentary and editing. Interview mic might be needed for the next one. There will be another series, right?

[@juiceboxforyou]

Hopefully another series down the line, we used a cheap mic for the interviews and paid the price in post. No filter can really save the quality but its another lesson learned

[@FeeeshEP3]

Keeps getting better!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Thanks 🍻

[@besa200]

Very good video. Good job. Thanks

[@TheJDMPhil]

Nara is awesome!

[@juiceboxforyou]

It really is! Looking forward to going back

[@slimzy1990]

Lads lucked out with that hotel! That’s one of them day/nights that you will always remember. Bet you want to get working on the EK after going to street fighter. 😎

[@juiceboxforyou]

100% man, what a night!

[@baronvonricer]

If anyone hasn’t watched this series on their TV instead of their phone or tablet, I would highly recommend it. Makes it even better.

[@blitzep70]

I agree with you Baron. I have to watch it in the TV its way better than watching on the phone.🦌

[@juiceboxforyou]

I must re watch these when we are finished. Hopefully the audio isnt a shit show on the TV

[@baronvonricer]

@@juiceboxforyou Nah, it actually sounds pretty good most of the time. Sometimes the dialogue gets quiet or sounds “flat”, but I imagine that mastering the audio is super difficult and requires some crazy microphone setups.

[@DeeJayCoolio]

This is such a killer series. The pacing of it is perfect, the insights you're giving from back in Ireland. It's all great and I know I'm gonna be watching them all back in years to come. But just enjoying first time for now. Fair play the lads!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Glad you've enjoyed this format, wasn't sure if it would work out

[@mitchnyhuis4976]

This is easily the best video series I’ve ever watched.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Cheers man!
