We all fantasise about dream car builds, whether they’re elaborate masterpieces never done before or something stock standard we’ve seen a hundred times. Some people just have a knack for making things cool, and Ryan Tuerck from 411 Works is firmly in that category, with what might be the coolest collection of Toyota performance builds out there.

We had to get Ryan back for a second episode to unpack his latest creation—an insane ST205 Toyota Celica—and to find out more about his new business, 411 Works.

In this episode of Tuned In, we catch up with Ryan and see how things have been going in the Formula Drift world. We discuss the decision to move to a different engine combination in the search for more power, and how it hasn’t come without its challenges.

We dive into Ryan’s most recent build, his insanely cool Toyota Celica. We discuss the modernised running gear and the decision to go down in capacity from the original 2.0L 3S-GTE to Toyota’s new and popular G16E three-cylinder direct-injected engine. We also cover his anti-lag setup, ECU and electronics, plans for racing and driving the car, and how he comes up with these epic build ideas in the first place.

We then get into Ryan’s other big project at the moment, 411 Works. Through this new business, he’s begun supplying performance parts all around the world. We chat about the products they’re making and how they’re continuing to grow and develop exciting new parts.

This is another standout episode with Ryan. From a long and successful Formula Drift career to next-level builds and a growing business—if Ryan Tuerck is involved, it’s always worth a look.
