We love to joke around, putting our heads down and concentrating on building maaaad nuggets in the shed (or overseas building and driving with our mates), so it was wild for us to be told the Australian government were putting us into a special archive representing Aussie culture.  On Monday, 17 August, Mighty Car Mods has been officially inducted into the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) with a selection of their automotive films and videos to become part of Australia's official national audiovisual collection. This means that, having begun on a suburban Sydney driveway in 2008, Mighty Car...

The engine choice for Marty's Monaro has certainly drawn plenty of comment online (you can see what he's doing for yourself HERE, if you haven't already). If you haven't watched it and don't want any more spoilers than the title of this post gave you, maybe go make a cuppa tea, sit down with a tasty snack, and clap your vision-orbs onto that episode, so we're all on the same page. Okay Pookie? (It is ok if I call you Pookie, isn't it? Thanks Pooks!)  Right, so now we're all up to date on the future DOHC turbocharged six-cylinder future...

Marty and MOOG have caused quite a lot of online commentary with their Monaro and XR8 projects (if you need a refresher try CLICKING HERE).

Have you watched MOOG's latest video on his XR8 Falcon engine swap? It's RIGHT HERE for your eyeballs' pleasure in case you haven't, BTW, but in that video MOOG gets on with making fuel lines with AN fittings.  Now, maybe you've never played with fuel systems before so before you go reading on below it might pay to read THIS STORY on AN fuel fittings and lines to work out what is going on. This is because we're going to dive into the next phase of custom car plumbing: hardlines. If you hang around high-end car shows or motorsport events...

This past week we dropped a BRAND NEW PROJECT CAR on the channel (CLICK HERE), which we then used as part of Supercheap Auto's latest BEST PERFORMING OILS ad campaign (CLICK HERE). Some younger viewers may be confused why we're racing around a big dirt lot full of junk cars, because they've never experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with going Wrecker Diving, and that makes me sad.  Car enthusiasts of a certain age know of a special place that was a challenge to navigate, a test of your patience to interact with, but always an amazing adventure.
