VIDEO: Mighty Car Mods Feature Length Movies: Kei to the City and Turbos and Temples

The two head to Japan where they browse through a used car lot, after checking out a stunning R32 GTR that was heavily modded, they settle on a "scrapped" all wheel drive turbo Daihatsu... from 1989.

They head to Up Garage to source some upgrades for the little kei car. Then its on to The 88's drift car builders yard where they get schooled in everything you ever wanted to know about drift culture, remember;

It's more important how the car functions, than how it looks! But the appearance is still considered one of the three important factors; the cars need to look good, it has to look good while driving it, and it has to have the power to win.

With this in mind, many of the cars do look quite rough, but that should be expected when you're throwing a machine like these around a track at breakneck speed, sideways.


This is a follow up to their previously released Turbos and Temples, another great video.

You don't give up 'till literally the wheels are off the car, that's just the way life is in Rally - Ken Block

Ken Block's Ford Fiesta Rally Crash

Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino's Rally America Hoonigan Racing Division experienced a devestating crash, after a reportedly rough patch of trouble in the first three rounds, they managed to dominate the next three rounds, which meant they had to win the Lake Superior Rally for the grand finalé. 

The race was going well for Block and Gelsomino, he explains they were 7 seconds behind the lead time, had won the first two stages of the morning already - they were Driving flat out for the win (FTW). Heading into a stage twelve, w.o.t. Going about 95 mph and it tightens...

the car is sideways as Block was expecting to slide through the otherwise normal looking corner when suddenly it narrowed and a small clump of dirt hidden by some weeds caught the car, sending the Ford Fiesta Rally car into a five time roll over through the forest. The team attributes the lack of the word "IN" on the pace notes to the Championship ending crash.

"The fastest and the biggest wreck I've ever had in my career"

After which Block proceeds to re-start the car seemingly unaware there isn't much left of the car, the engine does fire up and he puts it into gear... but he wouldn't be getting anywhere without the wheels, and suspension, and drive axles which are strewn across a 50 ft radius around the woods.

"You don't give up 'till literally the wheels are off the car... it is what is, that's rally and life goes on"

Ken Block is known for this type of Hooniganism though, remember when his gearbox caught fire and he just ain't care?

Watch as this 4.7L V8 Dodge Dakota pickup truck rescues a stuck oil rig 18-wheeler, that four-low makes all the difference because at first it seems doubtful the little (relative to the big rig) truck would ever be able to move it... Low and behold, freedom.

Check out Chris O's video below of the whole event, his channel has a lot of really cool videos actually, so here's a link to Chris O's Channel.


That's a strong truck! Full video description story below:

"Leaving the gym I came across a tanker truck which was stuck in some deep snow. He swung the cab over into an unplowed area with about 6" of hard snow and his super single drive tires just weren't getting traction. I was in my S4 at the time and told him I only lived about 10 minutes away and would come back with my truck. The truck driver was thankful but made it clear he didn't think a pickup would be able to pull him...
