In this special bonus episode of the Redline Republic Podcast, we're joined by Walshunit and Tinelli to talk about the cars, the crowds, the stories and the absolute madness that takes over Letterkenny every June.

Whether you're already on your way to Donegal, watching from home, or you've never experienced rally weekend before, this is a glimpse into the atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.

Slab Days, Snap-On & The State Of Modern Cars | Redline Republic Podcast #21

Episode 21

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 01:05:02

In Episode 21 of the Redline Republic Podcast, we get into the state of modern cars and ask the question: what happened to car design?

We discuss whether new cars are actually getting uglier, the rise of slab days, the future of the Irish drift scene, and whether there will ever be a true replacement for the Lexus IS200. We also talk about buying your first car, building vs buying modified cars, Snap-On tool debt, CB radios, and plenty more along the way.

As always, expect plenty of opinions, questionable takes, and the usual automotive tangents.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments:

Are modern cars getting worse?
What car could replace the IS200?
Are slab days worth it?
Would you build your first car or buy one already modified?

EP12 Shafts, Strikes & Shed Talk

Episode 12

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 58:34

This week’s episode kicks off exactly how you’d expect from two lads recording in a shed in Ireland — one of us drove over in sunshine, the other walked into a full-blown storm, and the rain hammering off the roof nearly becomes the third co-host. From there it only gets more chaotic as we try (and fail) to briefly touch on what’s going on around the country right now before quickly realising we’re better off sticking to what we know… cars, bad decisions, and even worse timing.Dan’s Corolla is back on the agenda with the NCT looming next week and absolutely nothing going to plan. What starts as a simple fix turns into a full-on saga involving mismatched driveshafts, Jap import headaches, and the very real possibility of the car not making it to the test at all. If you’ve ever left your car until the last minute before an NCT, you’ll feel this one.We get into first car debates, questionable buying advice, and whether you’d take an E90 over an E12 Corolla, which somehow turns into a full argument. There’s also a deep dive into random and underrated cars, from Toyota Sera’s that look like spaceships to dream builds for a Donegal spin, and the usual mix of strong opinions that probably won’t sit well with everyone.As always, the listeners come through with some of the best parts of the episode — from absolute horror stories in first cars to us trying to figure out what the hell “backslang” is after making a very questionable phone call mid-recording. It goes about as well as you’d expect.We also cover everything from L plates and N plates to the most ridiculous places people put tax disc holders, and somehow end up trying to get sponsored by Red Bull along the way.It’s another chaotic one, full of tangents, laughs, and the kind of conversations you’d expect from two lads talking shite in a shed — with a bit of rain for good measure.

Episode 11 Near Misses, Crashes & Tangents

Episode 11

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 01:02:35

Most of us think we’re decent drivers… until something nearly goes very, very wrong.

This week we’re getting into the stupidest near-misses, close calls, and moments that should’ve ended way worse than they did — from quad bike chaos to cars nearly ending up in ditches (and sometimes actually doing it).

We’re talking:

near crashes that still don’t make sense
accidental street races
dodgy decisions behind the wheel
and how some of us genuinely shouldn’t have a licence

We also get into underrated cars like the Legnum, the K11 Micra, MX-5s, and the reality of buying cheap cars that somehow stay alive out of pure spite.

It’s chaos, it’s questionable decision-making, and it’s painfully relatable if you’ve ever tried to look cool behind the wheel and nearly binned it instead.

Hit play — you’ll either feel better about your own driving… or worse.

We only meant to talk about cars… but it got heated fast.

In this episode, Jake and Dan dive into the chaos behind Episode 10 — from missed uploads and technical disasters to broken hands and last-minute scrambles just to get the podcast out.

What starts as a catch-up quickly turns into debates on fuel prices, government decisions, and how the car scene has completely changed since COVID.

In this episode:

Technical failures, missed uploads & real-life setbacks
How car meets have changed in Ireland
Fuel prices, tax frustration & heated opinions
The reality of trying to stay consistent every week

EP 9 Jap Cars, Crash Stories & The Donegal Rally Campsite

Episode 9

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 • Duration 01:22:59

Would you trade a nearly-new, fully loaded Jeep for a turbocharged Japanese project car?

In this episode of Redline Republic, we debate whether chasing your dream build is worth giving up modern reliability.

Dan talks about the idea of selling his Jeep to buy a PS13 Silvia project, and whether it’s a brilliant move or absolute madness.

Along the way we dive into some of the wildest crash stories and car mishaps from the Irish car scene — from six-hour scrappings to field repairs that probably should never have worked.

We also talk about:

Why Glanza’s, SR20s and old turbo Jap cars are rising in value

The strange world of “stager” cars and questionable legality

Coilovers vs springs and the eternal suspension debate

Donegal Rally campsite stories and the chaos that comes with it

If you’re into Jap cars, project builds, rally stories and Irish car culture, this one is packed with the kind of stories you only hear in the shed.

When DIY Nearly Cost a Finger l Episode 5

Episode 5

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 • Duration 01:11:22

Most car enthusiasts have made at least one terrible modification — but not many are willing to admit how bad those ideas really were. Until now.

In this episode, Daniel and Jake share their funniest and most foolish stories from years of tinkering with cars, from straight-piping rust buckets to gearbox “repairs” that dragged on for weeks. It’s a no-filter look at the dumb decisions made in the name of speed, style, and saving money.

They break down the worst car advice they’ve ever followed — and the expensive lessons that came with it. From cheap coilovers that ruin ride quality, to DIY fixes that spiral into absolute chaos, this episode proves that some mods sound brilliant at the time… and ridiculous in hindsight. Expect stories involving flying springs, mismatched wheels, and questionable choices that could only happen in a shed.

The conversation also dives into the obsession with budget mods, the debate around electric cars like the electric AE86, and why so many modern cars share parts — to the point where everything starts looking suspiciously similar.

If you love cars but don’t take yourself too seriously, this episode is for you. It’s packed with banter, hard-earned lessons, and the kind of car chaos that’s painfully relatable. Sometimes the worst decisions make the best stories.

Hit play for a no-holds-barred chat about how not to ruin your car — or your weekend.

Daniel brings years of hands-on experience in tuning and repair with a no-nonsense approach, while Jake delivers fresh perspectives and relentless humour. Together, they deliver the reckless, relatable energy every gearhead knows all too well.
