If you live for high-revving Hondas, budget garage builds, or just love seeing the battle of grassroots motors, Hyperbole: Road to Honda Nationals is the grassroots YouTube series firing up the Aussie car scene – and it’s got a whole lot of heart.
Powered by Just Cars and fronted by the ever-resourceful Shaun – host, builder, and eventually the driver of the beast – this underdog Honda Civic project is turning spanners and heads. With Famous Insurance backing the build, it’s a must-watch for fans of DIY motorsport and homegrown hustle.
It all kicked off with a question every Honda tragic has asked:
Can you turn a marketplace purchase of a tired stock Civic into a legit track weapon – on a budget – and then get it to Australia’s premiere Honda event?
Shaun, armed with a camera in one hand and a spanner in the other, said “why not?” and got building. What followed was part mechanical madness, part road trip adventure, and 100% unfiltered Aussie car culture.
Here’s a taste of what’s already gone down:
- Buying a $3,000 sedan that most people would’ve parted out on a whim
- Nearly cooked the engine running laps in 42°C heat at The Bend
- Blew the motor (RIP)
- Rebuilt everything with limited time and limited budget
- Getting carried away as we all do
- All while filming it for the world to see
And that’s just the first few episodes.
While other channels throw $50 or $100k at a build, Shaun keeps it real. This is as grassroots as it gets – scouring second-hand parts, dealing with dodgy sensors, praying to the VTEC gods, and showing the truth of all grassroots motorsport enthusiasts.
And thanks to Famous Insurance, who proudly support this raw, relatable content, Shaun’s not just dreaming – he’s driving.
In case you didn’t know, Honda Nationals is the grassroots time attack event for Aussie Honda fans – a battleground for the best NA screamers, boosted beasts, and everything in between. It’s where front-wheel-drive legends are made.
