Gears and Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

We are back for episode 160!

This week, Mitch kicks off some news about the new Toyota/Gazoo Racing Yaris with Toyota Australia now caving and will bring the 'Performance Pack' variant to the Australian market. The pricing of the 'base' model GR Yaris is estimated to be about $40,000 (before on-roads), and add about $4,000 for the Performance Pack.

Matt and Mitch then talk about Mitch needing to get some-sort of locker for the Hilux.

Joseph then has news about the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota GT86 dropping to dealer-stock only; no more factory orders in preparation for the next-gen twins, and Matt talks about how his brain is breaking over the fact the BRZ is quicker around a track than the two-door GC8 WRX STI.

Mitch then tells a story of the journey around the Honed Developments solid bushings for the steering rack on the the #Shitegra, and Matt talks about Honda S2000's and OG V6 Accords.

Joseph then talks about the barn-find 'Chicken Coop Coup' which recently sold at auction for just over $300,000 AUD, and we end by talking absolute bollocks as per usual.

We're back for episode 159! This week, we manage to find some news to talk about despite it being a pretty slow news week.

Mitch kicks off the news with Porsche developing 3D-printed pistons for the GT2RS which allow the engine to produce 22kw more power, while being lighter, stronger, and more resistant to heat, AND increase the redline of the engine; all good stuff, from there Joseph talks about the Michelin Cup 2 tyres that were developed for the GT2RS and how incredible they are for a 'street tyre'.

Mitch then talks about the Cosworth-developed engine specs of Gordon Murray's T.50 Supercar, which redlines to 12,100RPM, and that the new Nissan 400Z should be in showrooms next year.

Joseph then has news about Mercedes recalling the G-Wagen 63 over a 'misleading' child lock symbol, of all things.

Joel talks about a recent drive with 2 of his other mates, one of whom had an old XJS V12 Jaguar which (predictably) broke down.

Matt then plays a game with us to guess a car, which then turns into a bit of news, before talking about Segway producing an electric dirt bike.

Mitch then talks about his first time learning to weld, and then we talk about the Porsche Taycan.

Joseph then talks about the absolute battle he had to remove the transmission fill-plug on his 86, and how his tyres were losing pressure with a simple fix.

Then Mitch and Joel talk about the progress made on their project cars.

We are back for episode 157! This week we talk a bit of news, Joel and Mitch of what have we done to our cars this week, and Matt and Mitch talk about some simracing stuff.

Mitch then kicks off news about Hyundai India producing a manual gearbox WITHOUT a clutch, we then go on to talking about how some cars have great clutch feel, and others have basically no feel at all.

Joseph then talks about a factory-fresh EK Civic Si Coupe selling for $50,000 USD in the States, which is unbelievable for an econo-box to now be a collector's car.

Matt then talks about how he thinks that Toyota Australia is potentially struggling to sell the new A90 Supra, offering 1.8% finance.

Matt then transitions onto how he and Mitch have been getting more serious about SimRacing (Assetto Corsa on PC).

Joseph then continues on with news that Ford's new Ranger Raptor will be getting a twin-turbo V6 petrol producing 300kw and 560nm, as well as news about the V8 SuperCars actually being back to actual racing, from which we then debate the best SuperCar drivers of all time, and Hugh Jackman might be playing Enzo Ferrari in a biopic.

Here's the second of this week's drops to make up for us missing an entire week of content last week, a day later than planned, but still, here it is.

We start off with ribbing Joseph a bit for being slack on posting any content to our Facebook page.

We properly kick off this week's episode with Mitch responding to Matt's ignorance regarding Porsche's model codes (930, 964, 992, etc).

We then play some games; in fact, this whole episode is us playing games; what about this car, show me what you got, the cool wall, etc.

We're back, sorry for missing a week; Mitch and Matt went camping, and Mitch got crook, anyway, we're back now!

We crack straight in with Mitch talking about how he fixed his Hilux's overheating issues.

Matt then talks about what he's doing to his Landcruiser, also to do with overheating, and Joseph greased the rear slider pins on his brakes, and Matt caves and says he's turboing the LandCrusier; from which he goes on to talk about the science of turbocharging a diesel engine.

Matt and Mitch then talk about their camping trip at Kinkuna (just south of Bundaberg, Qld).

Joseph then breaks into a bit of news with Mercedes bringing their electric-hybrid turbocharger technology from Formula 1 to their consumer vehicles.

Matt then talks about someone doing a retro-render of the original Volvo 240 in the style of Volvo's current design language, before talking about the Mazda refreshing the BT-50 ute; going from a Ford Ranger 5-banger to an Isuzu DMAX (and Holden Colorado) 4-banger, as well as a styling refresh.

Joseph then talks about the Jeep Gladiator's pricing and model specs being officially announced for the Australian market.

Mitch then talks about some of the cars that are yet to sell 25 units this year, and the Mighty Car Mods (TV2) video of Moog taking his BRZ on track, and how much we enjoyed watching him finally enjoy his BRZ.

Yep, late again. Our bad. Anyway, Mitch couldn't do this week's episode, so it's just Matt, Joseph, and The Short One this week.

The boys this week start off with a bit of news, and the first bit of news is about the minor refresh to the Toyota Hilux including new lights and a bit of a tune.

The guys then argue about the pig-fronted new BMW's, and then argue about design changes being historically hated no matter the make, and the Porsche Taycan.

Then the Short One asks the guys a question; what car would you buy to be suitable in a 'Mad Max' dystopia.

The the lads start talking about cooking meats, for some reason.

Then the guys end off in a couple games of 'Would You Rather' and a few arguments for good measure.

Once again, sorry this week's episode is late, we hope it's worth the wait!

This week, we kick off with talking about the weirdly awesome 2020 Mahindra 'Pik-Up', and Joseph talks about the Nissan 400Z briefly appearing in silhouette form in a Nissan Japan company video presentation.

Mitch then goes on a rant about the new BMW X5, before we answer a couple listener questions.

We then play Matt's new game where he pits Mitch and Joseph against each other; one fighting the affirmative, one fighting the negative, on cars they haven't seen.

We then end on a bit of 'The Cool Wall'
