📌 Welcome to the General Discussion Hub
Whether you’re a club member, a guest, or just poking around… you’re in the right place.
This is the front porch of the Midnight Pretenders Motor Club — a place to hang out, talk cars, share your build, or just see what we’re all about before diving deeper.
Here’s what you can do in this space:
🔹
Introduce Yourself
I've had this car for a month now and 75% of the money I've spent on this car was for making the interior funner! Makes me smile everyday.
What are some interior mods you've done that make you smile?
New to the Crew thanks for having me! A level mechanic with performance background looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience specializing in Nissan and Dodge platforms feel free to reach out anytime! ~ Midnight ~
Just got my MP welcome package! Very much looking forward to getting to know the club and its members :)
Hey everyone I've recently joined the club! Hope everyone is having a good day and enjoying their ride! I am building a 2026 subaru wrx ts. Time will tell how far I can take my car. Only a few mods has been made so far. If you want you can follow me on Instagram himura.wrxts
It’s started as 1997 Honda Odyssey, my family had this since 2014 gifted from our grandpa, driven everywhere until it broke down and set backyard 2 years, goats been jumping on top of Odyssey, lots of spiders webs, snakes lived there and more creatures, until 2019 on New Year’s Eve, my friend and I were bored had nothing to do, then I had idea to start up Odyssey, so we charged the battery, add new fuel, topped up oil and it started up right away, the first thing we did was remove muffler 😂 oh boi that thing was rowdy. Few weeks went by, I decided to fix it up for my first car when I was only 16. First thing we did was fix the problems and maintenance the who Odyssey and get registered. Few months went by, painted whole odyssey red using rattle can paint, got cold air…
Dude this is EXACTLY the kind of story that makes people fall in love with car culture again.
Not because it’s the fastest thing on earth or because it cost a million dollars, but because there’s actual life behind it. The whole image of this abandoned Odyssey sitting with goats climbing on it and then you randomly deciding “yeah let’s bring this thing back” on New Year’s Eve is legendary already 😂
And honestly the fact you and your dad rebuilt the motor AND manual swapped it makes it so much cooler. That’s the stuff people remember forever. Most people would’ve sent that van straight to a junkyard and never thought twice about it.
Also the part where you said the best thing about shows was seeing other people smile at the build… that says a lot honestly. That’s the side of the scene that matters way more than trophies or internet points.
My name is Jason (Jdel) from Va Beach in the 757 and I drive a 1998 Honda Acty Street, imported from Japan. It’s been almost a three year process and getting closer to full restored, along with some personal tweaks to make it my own. A lot of guys go more of the tuner route with these, which is awesome. Living at the beach and this being my daily, I’ve opted to honor its island roots and merge that with my daily surfing to make the quintessential Japanese beach van. With nods to surf and skate culture, along with JDM sprinkled in, it’s been a labor of love.
Still a lot to do on my list of upgrades and mods, but it’s such a blast to stay connected to the scene while bringing something unique to meets & shows.
If you want to follow the build, feel free to give…
That thing is absolutely sick! And you picked a perfect color for it. Well done so far!
Hey everyone!
Just joined this club and checking things out! I’m located in Northern Nevada in a small town called Elko, NV. Moved here about 5 years ago from Southern California and the car scene here is unique. Nothing compared to our meets down in Cali. I used to have a 2017 Subaru WRX and then life happened with my little one so I had to trade it in for a more suitable vehicle.
With my daughter turning 4 this year I thought it was time to get back into the scene and build something her and I both can enjoy. So introducing my 2018 Honda Civic Si. We usually travel to SLC for shows or Idaho. Hopefully one day I’ll get to meet some of you!
What’s up guy’s! If any club members would like to show off their cars and help spread our online presence I’d love to feature them on my ig page @midnightraceworks. Drop some pics and ig handles and I’ll tag you and your photographer if they were taken professionally and you’d like to give them photo credit.

Hey everyone!
Thanks to Jarrad for the invite and Trevor and Chris for starting and operating this club! I've been wrenching as long as I can remember, and have grown up around race cars (C.A.R.T. - RIP, IndyCar and more recently IMSA). I'll always appreciate a good build that's got ones blood, sweet and tears into it. I'm from NJ and Charlotte, NC is my second home.
I have a 1992 Honda ACTY that I'm working on getting into tip-top shape to haul things around with. I have been on a 8 month journey of importing a 1995 R33 Skyline GTS-T from a used car lot in Osaka, it should finally be on the road, NJ legal in the next few weeks, and my DD is a Unitronic Stage 2 2016 VeeDub Jetta GLI!

I was born in Vestal, NY and moved to MD at the age of 12 when my mother remarried. I'll skip the years in between because it's boring lol. I've been married for coming on 14 yrs (8/13). I'm a former Police K9 handler, now Federal Government Security Officer for the DoD/Dept. of Army at Fort Detrick. Besides my car and human family, I have 2, 4 legged sons: Link, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Thor, a champion
bred Chihuahua. You can see Thor on the passenger rear bumper of my car. My daily vehicle is a 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 Hemi. It also tows the WRX to shows that are far away. In my…

everyone 👋👋
My name is Manuel, but I go by (Manny); that's what every friend calls me. I'M a Silver Tier member, and I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their rides.
I wanted to share the two projects that I'm rebuilding and bringing back to life. First, I have a 1964-1/2 Mustang, which I got last year in the summer of 2025. It was full of rust dents everywhere. It's been one year, and the progress has been amazing. And my 2nd ride and Daily is an EP3 ( 02 Civic Si HB), got it off the action for $800. Paint-wise, it's really bad; it has some rust, paint and clear coat are peeling. It has quite a few dents. The car wasn't running, but after two weeks I fixed and now it runs. Front suspension is new.
That's about it if I summarize it. 🤠🤪
Here are some pictures of both of them. 🔥👀
