180SX VS 2SEXY Battle

**The Epic Battle: 2SEXY vs Saab**

In this episode of Mighty Car Mods, an epic battle is about to take place that will shake the very foundations of the universe's existence. The two cars competing against each other are 2SEXY and a Saab, and it's clear that 2SEXY in its current form would have decimated the Saab. Marty notes that this would be a perfect opportunity for a race, but instead, they've decided to put the cars through a series of challenges.

**A Tale of Two Cars**

The two cars are similar in terms of their budget, with both costing around $5,000 plus a few mods. This means they're sitting in the same place as far as the wallet is concerned. However, it's clear that 2SEXY has some serious advantages over the Saab. Marty points out that yours is obviously much lighter, and we'll be putting the cars through a series of challenges to see how they stack up.

**A World of Difference: FWD vs RW**

The main difference between the two cars is their drivetrain. The Saab is designed as a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) car, while 2SEXY is a Rear-Wheel Drive (RW) vehicle. This means that the Saab has been designed to have grip, whereas 2SEXY's design focuses on not having too much grip. Marty notes that this is partly true - any good drift car requires some level of grip.

**Suspension and Tires: The Keys to Success**

Marty points out that the Saab has proper tires and suspension, which will likely give it an advantage in terms of grip and handling. He compares 2SEXY's tires to something called "Bridge-bone" or a similar brand name, implying that they may not be as reliable as the Saab's tires.

**The Battle Begins**

As Marty says, he's really interested to see how your car will perform in some of the same challenges that were done with Wasaabi. This implies that we'll be seeing a series of tests and trials designed to push both cars to their limits. The outcome is far from certain, but one thing is clear: this battle is going to be epic.

**The Stage is Set**

As the episode begins, Marty explains that they're about to embark on an adventure that will shake the very foundations of the universe's existence. This means that we're in for a wild ride, full of excitement and unpredictability. The question is, which car will come out on top?

But over all it is fastIt is way faster than it used to beMOOG: Oh man, both carsMOOG: Usually the cars we get are stinky and slowMARTY: YeahMOOG: These are stinky and kinda fast. At least yours is. And we are only half way thoughThis was not a big finale like Wasabi versus 2SEXY.This was literally...Sydney Motorsport Park said we can use the figure-8So we decided to take the carsdown there and have a thrashBut this is not the end. We are only partof the way through the journeyFor me it was the first time driving the 180. Literally the first time I put the key in and it actually startsSo there were a few challenges thereWhat was interesting was that both carsDid better what they were designed to doMARTY: Yeah, exactly. And the figure-8 is not a graded circuit. Kinda like what 2SEXY hopeful ends up onSo my suspension seemed a bit stiff on that trackIt would be interesting to seehow it goes on a proper circuitBut, before it goes anywhere near oneof those it needs some more safety gearAnd to be tidied up even moreMOOG: How did it feel though? Because...Certainly when I drove it on the day after the go-to-woe and you completely smashed meAnd I was reversing back. Even in reverse it feels fastMARTY: Even with 100kw it feels likeit has too much powerBut, then again...We drove it around a circuit and put into reverse to try and do dough nuts, but yeah there'sThere are still heaps more and possibilities and lots things I can doMARTY: But that is kinda the fun of it... YeahMOOG: The grip is awesomeMOOG: Like my tires, I was making excuses. And I wasMOOG: But my grip was rubbish. RubbishMARTY: You had noneMOOG: Some grip on the front would have been goodand... ah... some more experience for meand probably skill up as wellBut it was a freaking awesome dayAnd ah, what's next for you Martin?What's next for 2SEXY?MARTY: Safety gear. More safety gearI gotta get a seat situation that worksI am gonna try and get either somefixed back stuff or some EVO thingsMOOG: And your horn...MARTY: That will bolt in so that I canput a harness through itMARTY: Umm, yeah. Safety really is kinda what is nextMOOG: We are actually gonna have toleave these cars for a little bitbecause I got lots of stuff that is plannedfor the 180... for Tay-TayBut I have actually order somestuff from Japan which is likeweeks if not a month or two awayAnd so rather than waiting another month until we do something elseI think we are just gonna put thesetwo cars on ice for a little bitWhile I wait for all my 'overnight parts'that take a month from JapanAnd then we got to get onto some other projects manAnd so we'll get onto some other stuffDo some other bits and pieces.Like this car that is right next to us right nowThat nobody has seen yetMARTY: Excited about that oneMOOG: That is freaking awesomeAnd then, meanwhile when all the parts arriveWe can start doing stuff hereMARTY: Pick it up again. I've got... The safety things I need to do take a bit of timeAnd a bit of doing but they aregoing to be so so worth itMOOG: Yeah, It is going to be awesomeMOOG: So there it is. Of course you can followour balls on the FaceballsFaceballs.com/yourballsAnd we do have long sleeve tees now as wellWhich is like Might Mods long sleeve garage teesSo if you are going to the track,to the drag and need long sleevesWe now have Mighty Mods MAD new teesMARTY: Check them out on our websiteMOOG: There is is everybody.
