Car Mods That Should Be Illegal | Episode 17

Episode 17 of the Redline Republic Podcast is here. This week we go down an absolute rabbit hole talking about the worst car mods we’ve ever seen, fake bonnet vents, massive wings, green brake calipers, OEM wheels, raffle cars, and some of the things that should genuinely be banned from the car scene. We also debate who makes the best OEM wheels, discuss strange convertible choices, and somehow end up talking about tractor raffles… because the podcast never stays on track for long. If you're into the Irish car scene, drifting, modified cars, JDM, German cars, funny stories and two lads talking complete shite in a shed, you’re in the right place.

Japfest Nearly Broke Me | Redline Republic EP15

Welcome back to the 15th episode of the Redline Republic Podcast. This one nearly didn’t happen… and neither did the Corolla. In this episode we get into one of the most frustrating weeks we’ve had with a car. From fighting seized parts, chasing tyres and batteries all over the country, nearly giving up the night before, and questioning why we even bother… to somehow ending up at Japfest anyway. Dan was genuinely on the edge of selling the Corolla after this week. If you’ve ever had a car test your patience, drain your time, and still somehow make you love it again 5 minutes later — you’ll understand this one. We also talk about Japfest, the level of builds in Ireland right now, the difference between show cars and track cars, and why some cars just feel impossible to let go of no matter how much they fight you. If you’re into cars, builds, drifting, or just the reality of owning something that constantly tries to break you… this episode will hit home. New episodes every week.

No Plan, Pure Chaos ft. Walshunit | EP14

https://holdonwegotyou.com/ The first guest is finally here… and we had absolutely no plan. Walshunit joins us for a completely unfiltered episode that goes from mic checks and setup chaos to pure nonsense within minutes. What starts as a simple recording turns into one of the messiest (and funniest) episodes we’ve done so far. There’s no structure, no script — just three lads in a shed talking shite, telling stories, and going off on tangents that probably shouldn’t have made it into the episode… but did anyway. If you’ve been listening from the start, this is a big one. And if you’re new, this is probably the most accurate introduction to what this podcast actually is. New episodes every week. #redlinerepublicpodcast #irishpodcast #carpodcast #automotivepodcast #podcastclips #irishcarscene #cartalk #carculture #podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/5rR87r9AAMbawVaw9fnkj5 https://www.youtube.com/@walshunit

Did TikTok Ruin the Car Scene? | Episode 13

In this episode of the Redline Republic Podcast (Episode 13), we ask the question a lot of people in the Irish car scene have been thinking — has TikTok ruined car culture?We dive into how the car scene has changed over the last few years, from JDM builds and unique project cars to modern trends where everything is starting to look the same. We talk about modified cars in Ireland, Volkswagen builds, JDM cars like Silvia and Chasers, and why “stage 2” and “stage 3” builds don’t really mean anything anymore.There’s also a discussion around the best first cars under €5K, cheap fast and reliable cars, and whether cars like the Toyota Corolla (E12), VW Golf, and Jetta are still the best options for new drivers. We also get into window tinting, running a small business, dealing with customers, and the reality of trying to make money in the car scene.As always, this episode is heavily based on your comments, so expect a mix of car talk, Irish humour, random tangents, and real opinions on everything from TikTok trends to the future of the modified car scene.If you’re into cars, the Irish car community, JDM builds, German cars, or just enjoy a proper unfiltered car podcast, this is the episode for you.
