In this episode of Hoonigan, the team immerses themselves in a vibrant car show where automotive enthusiasts gather to flaunt their prized possessions. Among the standout vehicles is a striking FBR RX7 adorned with a group C body kit inspired by the iconic 24-hour Pepsi challenge livery. The owner passionately walks the team through the intricacies of the 1985 Mazda RX7 Series 3, boasting a potent 12A Bridgeport rotary engine churning out a respectable 220 horsepower. What's truly remarkable is the preservation of the car's original interior, a time capsule harking back to its 1985 roots.
As the team delves deeper into the Australian car scene, they uncover fascinating differences compared to the American automotive culture. From the prevalence of street racing stateside to the meticulous car modifications in Australia, each locale offers a unique flavor of automotive enthusiasm. One intriguing aspect discussed is the concept of being "defected" in Australia, where modifying cars can lead to reverting them to factory settings to comply with regulations. This contrasts sharply with the freedom of customization often seen in the American car scene.
Throughout their exploration, the Hoonigan team encounters a diverse array of vehicles, each with its own story to tell. From a turbo LS1-powered R31 Skyline to a rare blue S15 sporting minimal modifications, the passion for automotive excellence shines through. Noteworthy mentions include a Ford Falcon XY GS with a 393 engine, a 454 Big Block Chevy, and a supercharged 347 stroker Mustang, each representing a different facet of the automotive world. Despite the event being cut short by the authorities due to noise concerns, the team eagerly anticipates another day of uncovering automotive gems and sharing the thrill of car culture with their audience.
