Rob Dahm joined by David Donner, a racing veteran and 3 time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb overall winner. Join them for a shakedown run in an 'almost stock' Porsche 911 Turbo S and a tour around Donners eclectic workshop.
Believe it or not, this car started life as a bog-standard 1995 BMW 325. Owner Carl Balzer turned it into a street legal 1200bhp E36 go kart packing a massively turbocharged LS engine under its lack of bonnet.
Sure, this looks like any other1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE. Until TG Tuning Correspondent Rob Dahm gets it out on track, and discovers a modern AMG V8 powerplant. Next, it's onto a similarly upgraded 280 CE widebody.
A Frenchman from the Normandy coast who came to California to shape surfboards, ended up hand-building one of the coolest widebody, S14-powered 1602s we've ever seen, It's a flawless, extremely lightweight detail-oriented restomod.
Meet Long Beach Lloyd, whose bright yellow 1961 Chevrolet Impala lowrider once starred in a Tupac video. Rob "hops" for the first time on a tour of Long Beach, and "works the switches" to find out how hydraulics make a lowrider dance.
TG Tuning Correspondent Rob Dahm tests out two heavily-tuned Mitsubishi legends: a home-built, Evo-swapped, AWD conversion Eclipse, and a rare, 917-horsepower Lancer Evo IX Wagon
Rob may not have been the first builder to put a rotary engine in a Corvette; that goes to Chevrolet itself in the late 1960s. But he's finally got his two-rotor-swapped Corvette dialed in, and he can't wait to show off the build.
Instead of an LS swap for reliability, the original XJS V12 was traded for Toyota's famed 2JZ. Rob takes the XJS for a proper midnight cruise on the empty streets of Los Angeles to learn about this unique build.
This drag-prepped Supra looks a lot like the original F&F hero, but has a ton of modern tech that didn't exist during Y2K. What happened when Rob and the guys took it to a drag strip to shake it down? More than you can afford, pal.
Built by SpeedKore, what started life as a rusty barn find is now a completely custom restomod powered by a 7-litre 'Hellephant' V8 pumping out that headline horsepower figure and a staggering 950lb ft of torque. Yeesh.
