S1 Ep 208More Ethanol In Gas Is Coming. Is It Good or Bad? (Tuner Explains)
With increasing gas prices, is flex fuel the way to go? I talk with mechanic and automotive tuner Brian Conrad about tuning engines for E85, ethanol fuel blends, and why more ethanol is being mixed into gasoline at the pump. This isn’t just about project cars. Ethanol fuel impacts daily drivers, fuel economy, and performance across many modern vehicles. We also discuss standalone ECUs, engine tuning, performance mods, flex fuel systems, and the real-world pros and cons of running E85. Whether you enjoy wrenching on cars, optimizing performance, or just want to understand what’s going into your fuel tank, this episode explains how ethanol affects horsepower, efficiency, and engine tuning.Get your GPS tracker now and protect your car!

S1 Ep 206Volkswagen Has Been Blocking Repair for YEARS (Now it's Backfiring)
Volkswagen has been blocking your right to repair for years with systems like "Component Protection" and after nearly two decades, a new bill has been introduced to stop this. Without that, it's only a matter of time until other manufacturers like Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan do the same (assuming they haven't already). If you like working on cars, or just don't want to pay out the nose for repairs, this is the automotive podcast you can't miss.

It doesn't matter if you like trucks, muscle cars, or JDMs, we all need to fill up at the pump and you've certainly noticed the major spike in fuel prices. I explain the situation in the middle east and break down why it matters whether your a car guy or not.

S1 Ep 204Self Driving AI Hacked In The STUPIDEST Way & The Olympics Need Motorsports ASAP
Forget, Toyota, Honda, Chevy, Dodge, BMW, or any of the automakers, self driving tech is barreling toward us with an insane vulnerability. I also talk about how Chevy now lets you build your own motor, with a catch or two, and why your car's tire pressure monitoring system can be used to track you. That AND I make the case for entering Spec Miata into the Olympics in a bid to save the games.

S1 Ep 203When are replica cars okay? Is the Alibaba AE86 just SLOP? My thoughts as an original 86 owner
I love my old JDMs and there will always be a rusted away soft spot in my heart for a crusty Corolla. The Toyota AE86 is a great chassis, but existing examples are worn with decades of drifting and abuse. When the Chinese made Alibaba replica body was announced I had hopes that this could be a good for track-rats and driving enthusiasts, but now after the first example has landed in the US, I'm less sold than ever.If you like classic JDM cars, this is the automotive podcast for you!

S1 Ep 202Time to Boycott New Cars as "Kill-Switch" Mandate Stands & Will Toyota's New CEO Axe Sports Cars?
In a short amount of time, it won't matter whether you buy a Chevy, Ford, Toyota, or BMW, the automotive kill-switch mandate stands. Congressman Thomas Massie proposed a bill which would eliminate federal funding from being used to implement it, and it was shot down. I discuss the major ramifications of this and how your car will now contribute to the looming surveillance state. On a lighter note, I also discuss Toyota's new CEO pick and what it means for enthusiasts. That and your car sounds on this edition of the show!

I spent some time firsthand at the Tokyo Auto Salon drooling over the Toyota GR GT, as well as various AE86s, a classy Nissan 280Z racecar, a widebody Autozam AZ1, and so much more JDM goodness. I also managed to drag along YouTuber Wesley Kagan where he mysteriously fell in love with the Suzuki Jimny.
