Why I Extended My Stay In Japan...

Though I was originally schedule to leave Japan on the 26th, I changed my flight itinerary when I realized that there was an event I must attend. The plan was always to leave from the Tokyo-side and with a few extra days in Japan, I definitely made the most of it...

falling back in love with Hondas all over again. Thanks joey!

[@damcleandetailing]

7:17 that EK on mint CPRs had me saying out loud, “oh fu**” 12:57 Del Sol just looks so mid 2000’s, it’s perfect nostalgia 18:14 I owned an ej1 many years ago and these coupes brought me way back, brought a little envy too 25:53 aye! 30:10 huge fan of DAs thank you for showing us this one

[@miixfixxgarage]

Love the overall aesthetics as one clip fades into the next. Excellent coverage!!

[@steffenflindt8670]

Yes I have been waiting for you to show the Upstart coupes !! 😄 The LHD JDM EJ1 was a 1994 Honda Primo 10th anniversary edition. Avalible in Horizon Grey, a year prior to US. The normal JDM coupe don't have a moonroof.

[@jacobherrman]

i love how joe knows almost every honda at this meet and every part on every car, goes to show you he knows his stuff and that is why he is the honda judge for wekfest. if you win a honda award at wekfest with joe as the judge you should be very proud that you have one of the best show car hondas in the world

[@My_kulll]

west coast style in japan. very nostalgic. I can definitely appreciate it.

[@djbriantalbot]

this is so up my alley. I still have my eh2 that had bolt-ons in '02, a b16a swap in '03, boost in maybe '05 and it's third and best resto-mod in '09. my inspiration was Super Street, SCC, h-t, HMT, and a few work trips to Japan. to see that shout out for the ffsquad sticker truly is full circle. thanks for this, Joey! Still bringing us the best of the best of the best!

[@f31roger]

When you were talking about how they are kinda going after the Cali style of the 2000s.. I found that really cool. I remember in the 2000s when people would get Wings West or Xenon lip kits and say "clean jdm style". I do miss the Honda Golden era for sure! It was so unique back then, but glad to see it alive and appreciated.

[@PTight]

Man I love the super chill vibe in your Vlogs, straight quality as usual.

[@CoverManMan]

LOVE the Coupe/EJ1 content. Currently working on a Cameila Red Pearl EJ1 restomod that I’ve owned for nearly 11 years. These cars dont get as much love as the hatches

[@emersonviana6539]

love the Brian McKnight background song at 19:49! LOL! true 90's feel!

[@TheFK8Life]

That silver EK9 ...sheeesh....miss my EK more now lol VSM with 01 c5 swap ....thanks again for another solid vid!

Extends, always workin its magic somehow. Longer, stronger, etc etc. No matter the reason the insight and connections you have are a worth while watch. Edit: yo that cat was staring into my soul at the end lol. Sick little Honda meet, hella nice cars overall.

[@damcleandetailing]

0:00 resident evil vibes anyone? Loving the Japan content Joey!

[@Thewatson77]

So damn cool that you were there to see this. I agree with you 100% with the fact that if it weren’t for you …. What would this show actually look like???🤔 do most of the younger guys even know your history?? Thanks again for another sweet video!

[@matteugenio]

It’s so interesting seeing how the Japanese consider West Coast California style of tuning. Nice to see how they interpret it from the other side of the world. Love the content as always Joey!

[@NoypiTexan]

You can thank Paul Walkers movies on that

[@THECHRONICLES]

This type of styling has absolutely nothing to do with The Fast and the Furious lol

[@matteugenio]

@@NoypiTexan Please tell me you’re joking.

[@NoypiTexan]

@@THECHRONICLES I probably didn’t said it right but you can’t convince me that we didn’t develop the type of influence between US and Japanese audience when it comes to USDM or JDM car, heck if it wasn’t for the F&F I wouldn’t know about Japanese Cars that a lot of our generation grew up on

[@THECHRONICLES]

@@NoypiTexan I wouldn’t be able to convince you because you don’t know what being a car enthusiast was before F&F came along. This style and the connection between the US and Japan has little to do with anything those movies promoted. They created a completely different style independent of whatever you’re seeing here. You’d be doing car enthusiasts before you a terrible injustice if you just assumed a Hollywood movie created this influence. Actually you’d be doing your own generation of enthusiasts the same by believing that.

[@yootubenig]

That Akira/ Kenada bike though!!!

[@GeoDudeCollects]

Super Dope meet! Had no idea Japan would do USDM look ❤

Makes me miss my 1994 "Camelia Red" EJ1 (Civic Coupe) that I built a B18A Block(bored out 0.030) with B16B Head and 1998 Type-R Transmission with LS Final Drive! This car SCARED me because of the Torque and Horsepower...

[@sheaewart7618]

Thanks for the video Joey!

They always play r&b and slow music at events on Japan lol

[@harryx6968]

wearing a towel on your head because it's too hot is such a Joey Move.

[@carlm8821]

This is great! Is it just me, or does everyone (Japan & US) have so much contempt and disdain for the ES Civics, they literally NEVER include them in any meets, events, etc.? Kudos to Thailand for being one of the only regions that loves and mods ES Civics....and damn nice at that! Also notice the lack of EP type R's as well. C'mon Japan, if you're gonna represent the later Civics, do it right and be more inclusive!

[@herbosmoker848]

Are parts cheaper to source in japan?

[@THECHRONICLES]

It really depends on what it is. Generally some stuff is more readily available and the Yen isn’t as strong as the U.S dollar so yeah, you can say it’s cheaper.
