You may be wondering why we bought a wrecked JDM Toyota Altezza!

Watch this video to find out why we think this engine is the perfect JDM heart for our GT86 project!

We're finally sharing an update on the project car that's been in the background for months.

This video explains our approach to creating meaningful automotive content, focusing on genuine progress rather than just making videos for the sake of it.

We're excited to show you the new parts car we purchased and what that means for this project!

Here’s a link for the coilovers we installed in TJ’s BMW:
