If you've watched the LATEST EPISODE (CLICK HERE) you'll see MOOG has picked up a crazy new (tiny) JDM project. While everyone froths GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s and the well-known hero cars get the glory online, we've been blown away by the love for some lesser-known models, including the Daihatsu Midget. These tiny one- and two-seater Kei trucks are the opposite of a performance car, but they became a quirky anti-hero of Gran Turismo thanks to their tiny size and complete absense of horsepower. In short, they're loved because they're the single silliest car to take on a race track this side of...

If you've watched THE LATEST EPISODE of MCM (CLICK HERE), you'll know exactly where this post is going. If you haven't watched it, I heartily suggest you put aside 30minutes of your day and catch up on MOOG's latest Marketplace Mistake.  As car enthusiasts we tend to see a car, get all giddy about the 4000 ways we could potentially build it, see the vision come together in our mind, and then race into a rushed purchase without thinking through all the potential ramifications or work ahead of us.

If you've seen the LATEST EPISODE (CLICK HERE) you'll have seen Marty brought back one of his most-beloved little nuggets for another round of work. However, while the honkiest of tonks has been tucked away safely in dry, indoor storage, that doesn't mean it hasn't needed a fair bit of work to bring it back to a useable condition.

Marty has...

 If you've seen the latest episode, where the 180SX hits the Haltech dyno (CLICK HERE) then you will have heard Tuning Fork talk about why peak power isn't as important as having a good amount of llamathrusts "under the curve". We don't want to harsh anyone's vibe, so here is your MAHOOSIVE SPOILER ALERT!!11onejuan When it comes to race cars, peak power is very important. If you're new to dyno-babble, "peak power" is the maximum power a car can produce at or near the top of the rev-range in a gear.  However, street cars don't actually spend much time at that magical point; you're more...

Seeing your project car gleaming with brand new, fresh paint is one of the best times in our car enthusiast life. MOOG knows this all too well with the crisp white paint now resplendent on his 180SX project, as you can see in THIS EPISODE.   Getting the car painted is just the start of a new phase of the project, as we then have to put the car back together. It is an exciting time and it is important to take a little bit of a breather to calm down as you can reassembling the car and end up...
