Gears And Beers: The Unashamedly Unprofessional Automotive Podcast

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.
