V8 Swapped Toyota Pickup – Walk Around and Street Hits

April 16th, 2025

My favorite street ride is anything compact with a big V8 motor. This Toyota Mini Pickup build fits the bill. At a curb weight of only 2,400 pounds, the Toyota pickup is a perfect vessel for a rowdy V8 swap. Up front, the suspension is from Stabfab. The Stabfab coilover conversion kit features tubular control arms. The rear is a four-link setup enhanced with a set of bootleg CalTrac bars to reduce wheel hop. QA1 21-way adjustable shocks adorn all four corners. There’s also a beefy anti-sway bar from a Toyota Motor Home in the rear. The brakes are a Read More

V8 Swapped 1977 Toyota Celica GT

November 6th, 2024

Here we go again. This time, we are checking out Emilee’s 1UZ swapped 1977 Toyota Celica GT. There’s nothing I appreciate more than a small, rear-wheel drive car that has been upgraded with a big V8 engine. The most common – and economical – method is to go with an LS V8 from GM. This time Emilee chose a different route. I think you will like the results. Far from the moist confines of the East Coast, Emilee located a suitable old Celica in the dry climate of Texas. In a major stroke of luck, it had already been V8 Read More

Spicy Mode Nissan 370Z vs. The World – Street Hits

October 11th, 2024

Never will you see a more rambunctious and capable group of street machines as we came across in the Sunshine State after hours of FL2K. These cars are looking good and flying high as they get down on the streets – of Mexico. Get a load of this street iron. The Nissan 370Z is a work in progress. Tonight, he will be looked upon as a sacrificial lamb. It’s not that the Z car is particularly slow. It is that the rest of the cars are very fast. On the low end of the totem pole; there’s an LS powered Read More

Houston Streets – Import vs. Domestic Shootout

April 27th, 2023

We are taking it down south – to Houston Town in old Mexico – for an evening of off-the-chain street racing. Let’s drop-in on the action – already in progress. We’ve got a throwdown between a Nissan GT-R with full bolt-ons (running E85 fuel) and a C7 Corvette Z06 with a camshaft upgrade and other aftermarket goodies. The ‘Vette must be running a FLEX tune because he just flexed up on Godzilla and left him in his dust. Godzilla is taking on a 900hp Cadillac CTS-V in the next race. Caddy jumps on the throttle and sucks the GT-R up Read More

Dodge Challenger SRT8 vs. The World – Street Hits Part 2

June 8th, 2022

Not a Hellcat, not a Redeye, not even a Demon, this Dodge Challenger SRT8 owner ain’t letting it get him down. Tonight, he’s riding out loud and proud to do some roll racing on the interstate (of Mexico). Has this naturally aspirated (N/A) HEMI bit off more than he can chew? We are about to find out. The Dodge Challenger SRT8 is often called a poor man’s Hellcat. Under the hood is a N/A 6.4-liter HEMI engine capable of producing 470hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. This rear-wheel drive Mopar is a heavy load at 4,170-pounds but this guy has Read More

LS Swapped Nitrous Mazda vs. Corvettes, BMWs, Street Bikes and More

April 15th, 2022

An itty-bitty rear-wheel drive import body with a big ol’ beefy American V8 is one of my favorite combinations. Add some nitrous and you really have my attention. That’s precisely what we have in this clip. A tiny Mazda Miata has been enhanced with a loud growling GM LS V8 engine. It has been treated to a kit of go-go juice and it’s taking on all comers – in the streets (of Mexico, of course). So, the evening begins with out little Mazda trotting out against a C6 Corvette Z06 with a Magnuson blower upgrade. Much to my chagrin, the Read More
