Was your FIRST CAR your WORST CAR?








In this episode of the Behind the Wheel Podcast, we talk about our first cars and the questionable mods we did to them. Every car enthusiast has made some bad choices early on, and we’re no different. From cheap parts to wild ideas that didn’t age well, we look back and laugh at the mistakes that shaped how we see cars today.

Is your build too nice/expensive to drive?








When does a build become too nice to daily drive? Is just driving to your local corner store a risk these days? Do you live in fear when driving your pride and joy? This one’s for you!



In this episode of the Konig Behind the Wheel Podcast, we dive into the struggle many enthusiasts face: the balance between enjoying your project car and protecting it from damage, wear, theft, and most of all, other drivers on the road.



From pristine show builds and modified daily drivers to high-powered examples, we talk about the gray area where a car might be too clean, too valuable, or too risky to casually take out. Do you risk the potholes and door dings—or keep it tucked away in the garage? Great cars are MEANT to be driven, but where do you draw the line?



Whether you’re wrenching on your first project or protecting your dream build, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.



Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do you daily drive your build, or is it a garage queen?

The “R34 Tax”… Are these JDM Legends worth the $$$?








In this episode of KONIG’s “Behind the Wheel” Podcast, we get real about JDM legends and ask the question no one wants to answer out loud:



Are we paying for performance… or prestige?



We’re breaking down the hype vs reality of owning iconic cars like the Nissan R34 Skyline—the poster child of Gran Turismo dreams and Fast & Furious fame—versus the often-overlooked but crazy capable Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, a twin-turbo, AWD beast that never quite got the love it deserved.



We talk:




Build potential – Which platform gives you more bang for your buck?



Driving experience – Is one really more fun, or just more famous?



Value vs. hype – Are buyers chasing performance, or chasing clout?



Maintenance, tuning, and real-world ownership – What’s it actually like to live with these cars today?




We’re not here to hate—just here to have the conversations every car guy (and girl) is already having in the garage, the group chat, and at 2AM on car forums. Whether you’re Team Skyline, Team Underrated Sleeper, or just love all things JDM—this one’s for you.

Does California have it the WORST for enthusiasts?








Thinking about tuning your ride or doing an engine swap? Not all states are created equal when it comes to car mods. In this episode of the Behind the Wheel Podcast, we dive into the best—and worst—states in the U.S. for modifying your car.



From California’s strict CARB regulations and smog checks to New York’s laws on tinted windows, and even those wild states that don’t require any vehicle inspections, we cover it all. Whether you’re into performance upgrades, custom exhausts, or just want darker tints, this episode will help you figure out where gearheads have the most freedom—and where the laws might just kill your build.

Before the Algorithm: the Golden Age of Car Forums 💀








Remember when car enthusiasts lived on message boards, not Instagram? In this episode, we take a nostalgic ride back to the era of Internet forums — the OG hub for gearheads to share knowledge, source parts, document builds, and argue over engine swaps.



We talk about the charm and chaos of those early digital garages — from deciphering thread hierarchies and sketchy photobucket links to the legendary DIY write-ups and community drama that made forums more than just websites.



Now replaced by fast-scrolling feeds and short-form content, we ask: what did we lose when we traded forum culture for social media? And what, if anything, can modern car culture learn from the past?



🚗 Whether you were deep in the Honda-Tech trenches or lurking on NASIOC, this one’s for the old-school enthusiasts.

Why do Americans love SUVs so much?








I think all of us can agree that when you pull into pretty much any grocery store parking lot, you’re bound to be met with a sea of SUVs, usually all either white, silver, or black in color…. what is going on? Are the soccer moms taking over officially now, or do Americans just feel safer driving bigger cars? Do we really need all that space?



Sure… maybe you’ve got kids whom you take to soccer practice! But when you drop them off, you still want a bit of spirited driving. That’s where the HEMI comes in! Is it ridiculous or totally necessary that the 2025 Dodge Durango Hellcat comes stock with 710 HP? Ask most and they’ll say “Unneccesary”, but you ask our guy Nick and he’ll give you a HECK YEA!



Why not wagons? The rest of the world, primarily Europe and Asia LOVE THEIR WAGONS. Does a wagon really not provide enough space for everything we want to do with our cars?



Weigh in below! DO YOU HAVE A SPORTY SUV? Let us know what you got in the comments.

From Formula 1 & Military Tech to making the BEST SHIFTER EVER… w/ Russell  ACUiTY Instruments ​








Ever wonder how some of these aftermarket companies in motorsports get their start? You’d think most of them start with an idea… maybe a potential opportunity to fill a niche gap in the market…



Here we are with Russell Garehan from  @ACUiTYinstruments  . In the case of Acuity, you could make the argument that the company is the culmination of an interesting and twisting journey that the founder, Russell, has endured to get here. Whether it’s his background working in Formula 1 for the likes of Ferrari or Williams, to his time working in Military Defense Technology. Russell has taken his engineering experience gained throughout his life and applied it to automotive in the form of Acuity Instruments.



Acuity specializes in developing high-performance aftermarket components designed to enhance the driving experience of Honda and Acura vehicles. Being founded by engineers with backgrounds in F1 and Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1), their product lineup includes precision-engineered gear shifters, throttle pedal spacers, shift linkage bushings, air intake systems, and wiring harnesses. These components are crafted to meet the rigorous demands of motorsport while offering the refinement desired by street enthusiasts. Acuity’s mission is to help drivers reconnect with their vehicles by improving performance and driving enjoyment.



In the podcast episode, we chat with Russell about Acuity’s beginnings, how the company came to be, and the new advancements in automotive tech that they’re bringing to the table currently. Truly a brilliant guy, our convo with Russell highlights the journey and insights that someone like him can bring to this industry – pushing us forward with critical thinking, problem solving, and testing… A LOT OF TESTING.

Discontinued Wheels…. meant to stay in the past?


Ever wonder why we discontinue wheel designs? We’ve gotten the question a lot, so let’s dive into some of the reasons why we discontinue wheel designs in general, the challenges of making a new wheel, and why a “re-introduced” design never really works.

Thanks for joining Daut x Nick on the podcast today! COMMENT below with a discontinued wheel we should bring back and MAYBE… just MAYBE, we will! (But, probably not).

ZF 8HP is the BEST auto transmission ever made… w/ Turbo Lamik


the 8HP is ZF Friedrichshafen’s 8-speed automatic transmission, and it’s been making waves lately in the car community thanks to TurboLamik’s Transmission Control Unit (TCU) – an advanced transmission controller that allows you to control the ZF transmission in 8 modes, varying from basic automatic to race-style sequential.

We’ve got Greg Drozd from TurboLamik US on the show today to talk about the 8HP ZF Transmission, and how exactly the TurboLamik TCU works, and how it has the potential to fully unlock to potential of this gearbox.

TCU 2.0 was the first 8HP controller on the market and it has been in continual development for over 10 years and been successfully used in many cars from everyday cars to high HP drag cars. Also vary popular for track use and drift.

8 driving modes – From an OEM automatic feel to full race with a flip of a switch!!! Manual, auto, semi auto shifting mode using a shifter, sequential style shifter or paddles Transbrake option Automatic Adaptation Self diagnosis with error codes showing on external display.

This TCU also supports a digital clutch so you can drive it exactly like if you were driving a manual trans car. Clutch is digital but world and feels like a regular clutch.
