Import Alliance Summer Meet 2026 - EP.190
2w ago00:39:53Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mailn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, Bobby recaps an unforgettable trip to Import Alliance in Nashville, Tennessee. From hauling two GT-Rs over 1,500 miles in a stacker trailer to navigating one of the biggest JDM gatherings in the country, we break down the entire experience—the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. A major highlight of the weekend was watching our friend Marq "Squirk" Drenon officially launch Roll Forged Wheels. What started as an idea at SEMA has quickly grown into a full lineup of forged wheel designs, and seeing them debut on everything from GT-Rs and Supras to Lamborghinis made the moment even more special. We also dive into the incredible Nashville car community, the packed pre-meets, drifting, vendor displays, and why Import Alliance continues to be one of the best enthusiast events in the country. We also share stories from the road, lessons learned towing a 74-foot RV and stacker setup, visiting some of our favorite Nashville shops and attractions, and catching up with many of the friends and guests we've met through the podcast over the years. If you've ever wondered what makes Import Alliance such a special event, this episode gives you a front-row seat.Find us on Facebook groups - RHDGUYS-JDMBOYSSocials - @RHDGUYS Merch - http://RHDGUYS.COMWant a discount on Nissan parts?Use code "RHDGUYS" athttps://nizmopartsplug.comNeed An ECU?

Some you'll agree with, some you'll absolutely hate—but that's what makes it fun.

We also discuss up-badging, why tire choice says more about a car owner than most people realize, whether K-trucks are actually overrated, and even question if most '90s cars were really as good-looking as we remember.It's a laid-back episode full of hot takes, nostalgia, and plenty of friendly debate as we challenge some of the beliefs that have become gospel in the automotive community.

What started as a shared passion for Japanese cars has grown into something much bigger—a network of veterans and enthusiasts using cars as a way to reconnect, heal, and support one another. We hear how both Alan and Lupe found their way into the automotive world, from deployments overseas and discovering Japanese car culture to building some of the cleanest, most well-known project cars in the community. They share the story behind the J Spec Project, the idea of "Boost Therapy," and how a simple cruise with friends can be just as valuable as any formal therapy session. The conversation also dives into the changing car scenes across the country, from Florida to Utah and Oklahoma, the friendships built through JDM culture, and why preserving the sense of community is just as important as building the cars themselves. Whether you're a veteran, an enthusiast, or both, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best therapy is a full tank of gas, a winding road, and good people beside you.

The Exhaust Episode - EP.186
Jun 2000:34:20Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tackle a topic that’s been at the heart of car culture for decades — exhaust systems. From the early days of bolt-on mufflers, Pep Boys fart cans, and local muffler shop specials to today’s high-end titanium systems, we discuss how exhausts have shaped the way we experience cars. We dive into the iconic exhaust brands that defined generations of enthusiasts, debate canisters versus oval mufflers, and share our thoughts on what makes an exhaust truly great. Along the way, we discuss everything from old-school HKS systems and Mugen classics to modern handcrafted titanium setups and the differences between mass-produced and custom-built exhausts. Of course, we also get into the age-old question: Is an exhaust about performance, sound, appearance, or all three? We share stories from our own builds, compare some of our favorite systems, and talk about why the sound of a car can be just as important as the horsepower it makes.
