Ep 10. Honey Bee Drift Car

In Monster Garage season 3 episode 10, titled Honey Bee Drift Car, the team takes on a new challenge of converting a 1990 Mazda RX7 into a drifting car that can be driven on the street as well as on the track.

The host, Jesse James, welcomes the team and explains the project to them. He wants them to transform the Mazda RX7 into a drifting car that looks like a honey bee. The team is excited about the challenge and sets to work immediately.

The team divides themselves into groups, with some working on the bodywork, while others working on the engine. The initial bodywork involves stripping the car down to its bare frame.

The team then begins to modify the frame by adding stiffeners and custom suspension. They also add a custom roll cage to ensure safety during high-speed drifting. The car is lowered to the ground, and the wheels and tires are changed to accommodate the car's new stance.

With the bodywork nearing completion, the team moves on to the engine. They decide to go with a rotary engine, which is known for its power and quick response time. The team members install a twin-turbo kit, increasing the engine's horsepower significantly.

The team tests the car's power by taking it to the track for an initial run. The car performs well and is able to drift easily. However, they realize that the honey bee bodywork has added significant weight, affecting the car's performance.

The team decides to remove some of the honey bee bodywork, reducing the car's weight. They also make some adjustments to the suspension, making the car more responsive during high-speed drifting.

With all the modifications completed, the team takes the car out for a final test drive. The car performs beautifully and is able to drift smoothly around corners, just as Jesse had envisioned.

The Honey Bee Drift Car is a fantastic example of what the Monster Garage team can create when they put their minds to it. With their exceptional skills and creativity, they've managed to transform a simple Mazda RX7 into a stunning drift car that's sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
