These things are siiiccckkkkk. Yes, I love the EG hatch a bit more than the S13, but that’s because I have one at home. This one here looks absolutely insane and I love it. But so does the S13 and both come from a show that might surprise some. This show is called the Elite Showcase, in Jakarta Indonesia, and it has become tradition for Larry to feature the top cars from the show. This EG Hatch won best of show, and when you see what is done to it you’ll understand why. This show is really somet

In Part 3 of the series, this beast went for its first test drive. Now it’s actually being put through its paces! Here’s the Part 4 video in the series, and that means actual testing! Yes, this thing is going down the road in this one with the body on it, and showing what it is made of on track as well. I love donor vehicle builds like this one. What I mean by that is when you buy a car, or parts from the wrecking yard, to build something new and exciting in a way it never was before. My 1956 Ch

Here’s the Rocky Mountain Race Week 2026 Day Four video and boy is it a fun one. We’re talking on the road, on the track and more! Day Three AND Four are both at Pueblo Motorsports Park and I can tell you that the action is hot, the drive was epic fun, and there are a lot of folks who have some catching up to do. The route was awesome, and once we got into the mountains the temps were in the mid 70’s instead of the mid 90’s and that meant everyone was having fun and in a good mood. The drive was

We’ve shared War in the Woods coverage for years, but over the past couple of years the racing at Brown County has gotten more and more famous and sketchier than ever. With some of the quickest and fastest small tire cars on the planet attending, it’s no wonder the limits of this race track are being tested each and every event. 2026 was no different, with our friends from 1320Video on site to capture all the action. We shared the livestream, but if you want just the best highlights and action t

In the mini truckin’ world, air suspension is king. While static drops and hydraulics certainly suspend a huge portion of the custom trucks you see at shows, the preferred adjustable suspension has been air ride for several decades. We won’t get into which is better, hydros or air, because we’re going to let Marcel and Jason discuss the history of air ride first. I currently own two vehicles on air ride, and have owned several others over the years, and I love it. If you want to make your vehicl

It’s time for more from Mecum, but this time instead of showing their video feed or highlights from the auction, we’re sharing video from our friend Chad Ehrlich at Nobody Else’s Auto and Nobody’s Show on YouTube.

If you aren’t familiar, Chad’s wrecking yard in Great Bend Kansas is one of the finest classic car and truck junkyards in the world. We were there just last week for Rocky Mo

Here’s a livestream replay from the Southeast Gassers Association’s third race of 2026 at Brainerd Motorsports Park. If you like traditional nose high gassers that still row the gears, still have names on the side, and still have backup girls, then this is the racing for you. Their whole mantra is to race like it’s 1967 and if you haven’t seen their races yet, you are going to want to grab a snack and a drink and click play. This is some awesome racing action. Video Description: Race three of

While Mike Finnegan has gotten famous over the past few years for his turbocharged Jet Boats, the truth is that Mike’s history in jet boat racing revolves around nitrous combos. His first really bad ass boat, built nearly entirely by himself in his little shop space in SoCal, featured a Pro Stock style Chevrolet with a nice toot of nitrous for good measure. This thing was fast. Way faster than most people will want to go on the water, that’s for sure. So when Mike decided that the 711 cubic inch

The request was simple enough: I needed a distributor ignition pickup for a small-block, Duraspark-era Ford. For you counter folks, that would be a Dorman F107. Should be a non-event: just go to the store, either buy the part or place the order and buy the part when it shows up. It shouldn’t warrant writing a story about at all, right? You must be new here. Welcome. Enjoy your stay and be sure to look around a bit. After working with the green-and-white guys and getting nowhere fast, I placed
