Billy Billano - PartsPro GM and PartsPro Racing Manager - is back for an episode dedicated to prepping for an endurance race. PartsPro Racing might have not participated in the latest one but nonetheless, the knowledge the team has is definitely worth sharing. If you're a casual fan wanting to know the intricacies of different build types for different race categories, this is an episode for you.

Join Au and Jake as they try to get into and dissect Billy's racing mind. Join us for the build stories, the experiences; stay for the camaraderie. Thank you for listening as always! See you on the race track! 

The long-awaited Gran Turismo 7 is finally out, and we got Elysse and Quatro GT Academy Philippine representatives and finalists, along with PartsPro resident expert, Au, as they dive into the full simulation experience. Join us as they tackle the nuances, the intricacies of the game, had their impressions, and their personal reviews. 

There are a lot of game-specific reviews out there but no one does it like how Elysse, Quatro and Au did it. You get the full history of the Gran Turismo franchise, bridging the real life car culture into the conversation. 

Jump in, enjoy, maybe you get a couple of cheat codes to bolster, both your simulation and real-life skill on the track.

We all know sneakers, streetwear and cars have similarities with regards to their cultures. The common denominator? Hype, therefore the proliferation of hypebeasts.

Come join us tonight with our resident hype connoisseur, Kevin Dayleg, as we dive in and expose the idiots of the industry. The usual crew talks about Kevin's rich history with sneakers and streetwear, his interpretation of the automotive/sneaker hype intersection, and Raffy's / PartsPro's influence in his car build direction.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! Don't forget to rate and share the pod!

Guess what? Your favorite automotive aftermarket pod is back! Join the crew as we do a quick recap of the 2021 aftermarket scene. We jump into, what we think would be the upcoming trends on wheels, underglows 🤔 among others; discuss the shift away from racing focused setups into something more retro. In this era of hyper-personalization, it's critical to understand your build direction, and how one wrong part installed can drive you off a metaphorical cliff and killing the vibe.

Raff and Au also gave their first impressions on the Toyota Raize (Daihatsu Rocky?) and how it's a perfect modification platform! Could this be the new Suzuki Jimny in terms of people going to town in terms of aftermarket customization?

Furthering down the Toyota rabbit hole, the crew discusses and scores each of the Toyota GR Sport performance models - from the Vios, to the Corolla Cross, the Fortuner, the Hilux, to the LC300 (You didn't know this noh?) and the classic performance models like the 86, Supra and arguably the best in the lineup - the coveted GR Yaris.

Join the crew as we dive in head first into Subarus! Our first ever sponsored episode! With the usual crew, we jump into a conversation with an automotive marketing veteran, Uzzi Asuncion. 13 solid years of experience in strategic planning, product marketing and brand management specifically in the automotive vertical, Uzzi has lent its talents to MotorImage PIlipinas - Subaru. We explore the history of the brand, the culture it cultivated here in the Philippines, their next steps, and the new releases.

Quick warning: if you can't handle brutal truths and hard hurtful facts, you might want to stay away from this episode! 

Join Raffy, Au, and Direk as they help Jake answer the age-old question: Should you join a car club? Would joining a car club do any good, or just eat up a chunk of your life?

We jump in head first into discussing the advantages and disadvantages of joining a car club, how to become a responsible member, and most importantly how to sniff out 'car clubs' who are just in it for the money, not the community. Listen in as the Raffy and Au take us down memory lane in the golden years of the car clubs, the friendships forged along the way, and of course their experiences - the good, the bad, and the UGLY. 

Whether you're a hardcore petrolhead, a casual fan, a spectator, or just want to be part of a community that has an aligned automotive interest, there's going to be a car club that's right for you. Enjoy the show! 

It's Friday and it's time for a new episode! Au, Raff and Jake would like to thank you for your awesomeness and being a loyal listener to the pod! You're incredible!

Tonight we continue with Au's Q&A session - we, again, extracted the best questions to discuss; a massive thank you to everyone who sent in their questions! Bonus topics: We put in our two cents on overrated, crazy expensive old school cars and how they came to be. We also started an impromptu lightning round discussing which cars would you purchase on every price bracket - from P1M, at 1-1.5M intervals up to P10. Check out Raff's and Au's choices for each bracket, maybe you'll get an idea on what your next car's going to be!

Aurick Go got bored and started a Q&A on his Instagram - lo and behold, it exploded! And now due to popular demand, we're going in deep with some of those questions with Au further elaborating his takes on cars who are dying for bodykits, which cars are best to have suspensions installed, how to build a decent #DailyDriven car, and many more! We had to chop the episode again into two cause as always we just couldn't contain ourselves, and believe us - we can go on and on and on...
