Garage Therapy Check-In 🚗


Sometimes you just need to vent to people who get it.

What’s currently driving you insane with your build?


Could be waiting on parts, chasing an electrical gremlin, a project that’s been sitting too long, a blown motor, a snapped bolt, or just trying to find the motivation to get back out in the garage.

Drop it below.


Maybe someone here has been through it already, maybe somebody can point you in the right direction, or maybe we all just complain together for a minute.

What's bothering me is trying to find a discounted part I wanna say it's my water pump kit or water pump is discontinued something with it is discontinued

Tell me about a time your car almost broke you.


Not a small issue — I’m talking:

The moment you considered selling it, quitting, or walking away completely.


What happened… and why didn’t you quit?

This was several years ago now,but... bo less painful....


I was doing a new car audio competition build in my MK1 focus and between my best friend and I we spent 100 hours in one week on this rebuild.


We cut the spair tire well out and welded in a battery box to hold 4 90lb group 31 agm batteries. Re-wired the entire vehicle..

Installed 100 square feet more of sound deadener..

Filled every crevas with expanded foam..

Redesigned my false floor..

Designed and welded a new amplifier rack...

Re apolstered all of the buety panels..


Then spend 2 days running every wire, every panel, every screw so it would be absolutely perfect in every way..


At 1am the first day of the largest car audio comp of the year I turn the key to test the entire system and my 2800 dollar sub amplifier promptly catches on fire....


I put the fire out and sat in a lawn chair crying..


If it were not for my best friend I was absolutely going to abandon the car and never touch it again..


Cherish your real friends folks!

Be honest…

What’s your car teaching you right now?


Patience?

Discipline?

Humility?

How to walk away before you throw a wrench? 😅

After comparing myself to other people’s builds from Integras to skylines, and after getting rid of both of them I realized that I should’ve been more grateful/appreciative with the work, time, and money I’ve spent and done with the cars. And that I should’ve stop telling myself in the past “You’re at a good state and good area, where you have these cars at a young age”

What are a couple must play garage songs that are therapeutic for you? Something that makes you either feel big feelings or makes all your feelings fake away. Whatever calms the storm in your mind as it drowns out in the background.

I love punk and hardcore, but for me it's a nostalgia thing of having classic rock on, as that's what always plays when I'm at my dad's wrenching away

A lil therapy right now.....listening to an r32 gtr midnight run around the streets of japan! I'll probably gopro a lil running around some streets with my fc, soon.
