If you're hunting cheap parts like Marty is with the CASH vs TRASH series, then you'll wind up buying second-hand bits. Side note, if you need to catch up check out the COILOVERS EPISODE (CLICK HERE), the POD FILTERS (CLICK HERE), and the latest, greatest episode on MAKING EXHAUSTS (CLICK HERE).  Sometimes it is actually preferable to buy used high-quality parts instead of simply picking up the cheapest brand new parts you can, as these can be nasty low-quality junk. There can be some pitfalls to buying used parts, so this week I'll give you tips on how to buy used car parts, as this...

 THIS WEEK'S Mighty Car Mods EPISODE (Click Here) sees the mods commence for MOOG's Suzuki and Marty's Poo-Goat, but one overriding debate has been burning in the comments on social media and YouTube. "Who Makes The Best GTI?"  Is it the Japanese with the Suzuki or the French with the Peugeot 205? Both are front-drive three-door sports icons which have rich motorsport and tuner heritage.

By now you should have WATCHED THE LATEST EPISODE (CLICK HERE) where Marty goes rogue and buys the most chewed-up, taint-stained Peugeot 206 in Australia. While his dreams of building a track beast to slay MOOG's Suzuki Swift (CLICK HERE) might be... bold at best... that isn't to say the French marque hasn't given us some of the most legendary race cars of all time.    Right from the start, way back in 1895, a Peugeot won the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris races. This was considered by many to be the first car race of all time, and they took more wins in...

If you've seen the latest episodes of the Universe's Greatest 4x4 Channel, then you'll have seen we brought back our Cheapest Hilux (CLICK: fixing it, CLICK: dyno tuning a diesel, CLICK: bushdoof adventure) and we are into both modding and fixing. Because this was the cheapest Hilux for sale on the internet in Australia, and it's travelled around the planet (and past the moons of Jupiter) several times, this thing has heaps of dirty or rusty bolts, so we have some tips on making your life easier if you've got a car with lots of dirty, rusty bits that you...

If you've seen THIS epic 50-minute video on doing a cheap turbo kit on a non-VTEC Honda Civic then you may have questions about what we used and what it cost. While we did a cost breakdown in THIS VIDEO on our second channel, MCMTV2, what about the parts we used?  Read on below and we'll take you through all the stuff we used to take our Civic from stock to choo-chooing like MOOG walking through a pepper market with a strong head cold. Our Civic made 113.3kW at the wheels on 9PSI and 98 Octane premium unleaded fuel, but that...
