In this riveting episode of Donut, we witness a transformation like no other as Joe's neglected 1984 Nissan Z31300 ZX undergoes a much-needed makeover. With the birth of his child hindering his car tinkering time, the team steps in to impart automotive wisdom upon Joe, the new dad in distress. From basic maintenance tips to installing jaw-dropping upgrades, they breathe new life into Joe's beloved Z, fueling his passion for the four-wheeled beauty.

Amidst the grease and gears, Joe recounts the struggles with his V6 engine running rough, sparking a quest to address the spark plug and fuel system woes. The team dives headfirst into brake repairs and a thorough engine bay cleaning, setting the stage for a heart-pounding journey of car restoration. With a touch of humor and camaraderie, they navigate the treacherous waters of spark plug replacement, ultimately boosting Joe's confidence in his mechanical prowess.

Sponsored by WD40, the team embarks on a mission to access forbidden tools in Zach's office, showcasing the power of lubrication and ingenuity in the world of car enthusiasts. As Joe's Z undergoes a visual and performance transformation with new wheels and coilovers, the team's dedication to the project shines through. From the installation of rear coilovers to the meticulous replacement of the fuel filter, each step brings Joe closer to rediscovering his love for his once-neglected automotive gem.

The crescendo of this automotive symphony reaches its peak as Joe is blindsided with a surprise track day at Willow Springs Raceway, a baptism of fire to hone his driving skills. Through braking exercises and tire tests, Joe is pushed to the limit, aiming for faster lap times and a newfound understanding of his car's capabilities. With each twist and turn on the track, Joe's journey from overwhelmed new dad to confident car enthusiast unfolds, painting a vivid picture of growth, camaraderie, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his machine.
