In this thrilling episode, Larry Chen takes us on a wild ride through the world of automotive customization and high-performance vehicles. Starting off with his latest Nissan GTR project, Larry dives into the challenges of restoring this iconic car to its former glory, contemplating a unique TB48 engine swap to give it a new lease on life. Moving on to his workshop, 68, Larry showcases his passion for creating a one-stop shop for car enthusiasts, addressing the common issues faced in the industry with a hands-on approach.

As Larry walks us through some of his impressive builds, including a GT SR and a powerful Patrol Y61 pickup, we get a glimpse of his dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring unconventional engine swaps. From drag racing in the UAE to the sheer power of the GT2 and the twin-turbo Chevy Nova, Larry's world is a symphony of roaring engines and adrenaline-pumping speed. And let's not forget the Prodrift Academy's jaw-dropping Corvette Z06 and the record-breaking GTR, which redefine the limits of what these machines can achieve.

But the real highlight of the show is when Larry hops into the Chevy Nova, unleashing its raw power on the desert terrain, leaving a trail of burning rubber and high-octane excitement in his wake. And as he visits the Alarasi garage, home to the Prodrift Academy's prized possessions, including the legendary GTR that set the Guinness World Record for the fastest drift ever, we witness the true essence of automotive passion and performance. Larry Chen's world is a thrilling blend of craftsmanship, speed, and a relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
