Two Hondas enter, but only one will remain in the MCM shed. It's turbo pssh-pssh versus naturally aspirated ting-ting VTEC purity as the show car battles the JDM icon, and an MCM fan will get to OWN ONE OF THESE CARS! NOTE: In case you haven't clued-on, you're about to get Major Spoilers dropped on your face if you haven't seen THE LATEST EPISODE of MCM, and I'm not talking about T-wings and fibreglass!       Are you ready? Really ready, Pookie? Do you mind if I call you Pookie? Thanks Pookie!   Ok so now prepare your interballs to find...

MOOG's new car (seen HERE) caused a lot of people to question the drugs car-builders were taking during the 1990s and early 2000s. However, this era of "show cars" is, arguably, no different to fads that previous generations went through as well. Thumping subs rattling brains (check MOOG's out HERE), gaudy paint work, crazy body kit modifications and questionably engineered mechanical upgrades - these are pretty much the foundation for any generation of show car, as these types of cars have always aimed to bring in attention from the wider public.

One of the most popular questions we get asked is, "why do MOOG's feet smell like lollies?" I can't answer that, but I can answer the 2nd most popular question: "how the heck do I turbo my maaad car?" For the sake of this article I'm going to keep the theories very simple.

At the end of May 2020 MOOG dropped a new video on the MCM channel showcasing a car he'd wanted to buy for many years: a stock 180SX. You can watch the full reveal HERE but basically the thing is a complete unicorn today, being almost factory-fresh. However, since then one question the boys are smashed with is "what's happening with MOOG's 180SX?" Well, he still owns it and plans to feature it on the show, so we sat down with Mr MOOG to find out a bit more...  After your history with Taylor Drift, what led you to pick up your Museum...

Getting your project car running is mad, as Marty found out IN THE LATEST EPISODE. So how do you do that?  If you've put an aftermarket ECU in your car, then download the tuning software and watch a few tutorials on how to use it. At bare minimum you should have a look around it to familiarise yourself with it, so you can download a base map and do basic diagnostics on your car once you get it running. You'll also need to do some set-up so the ECU knows what engine it's meant to run. Telling the brain box the...
