Jeremy

I'm Jeremy, and my journey in the world of automobiles has been nothing short of a lifelong passion. From a young age, I was drawn to the art of car modification, a fascination that found its roots in high school when the Honda Civic craze was in full swing. Back then, the ultimate goal was building a 9-second b18C1 EG coupe, and I was determined to make it happen despite having limited experience. Unfortunately, the rampant car thefts in Chicago were steering the direction of Honda Civics in a worrying direction.

That's when I ventured into the world of Toyotas, and it was here that I discovered my true niche. In the early 2000s, I gained the confidence to explore the realm of motor swaps. My very first swap was a 3vzfe, which marked the beginning of a journey that would fuel my passion for the Toyota MR2.

Today, I'm proficient in swapping engines like the 3vzfe, 1mzfe, and 3sgte (4/5Gens), and I'm currently working on the 2gr and newer platforms as they integrate with the Sw20 Chassis. My objective is clear: I aim to take these two-decade-old cars and make them stand out in a sea of newer vehicles, all while adding a unique restoration twist to each project.

Through documenting this incredible journey, I've found a way to share my experiences with a deep and supportive fan base on YouTube. And now, the journey continues as I embark on developing a website where I can share my niche, offer the cars I've meticulously built, sell merchandise, and provide access to parts produced by Nasty Addiction Garage, LLC. It's an exciting new chapter in my lifelong automotive adventure.
