Modify with TrickFactory Customs

We're back for season 2 and on this episode we talk about car shows and if they are still important in 2023 or if they are dying or already dead. 

Lots of people have thought about modifying their cars, but should you? Also, what exactly is a modified car and why would you modify it? In this episode, we answer these questions.

In this episode, we discuss how anyone without experience can become an automotive fabricator or a car builder, we list steps and talk about how we started out in the custom automotive world and building cool cars 

Ringbrothers’ latest builds, especially Octavia, have pushed custom car fabrication into a whole new league. In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Fielding, their lead fabricator, to break down what really goes into building cars at this level — from CAD and 3D printing to long nights, tight timelines, and the teamwork behind it all.   Follow Ryan: @fabguy_ryan Follow us: @trickfactorycustoms   If you enjoy the episode, hit like and subscribe! #ringbrothers #automotivepodcast #modifywithtfc #trickfactorycustoms

We’ve all seen the viral builds — a W12 in a WRX, a jet engine in a Civic, or some crazy exotic swap that looks amazing on paper. But here’s the reality: most of those projects end up unfinished, stuck in the shop, or burning way more time and money than anyone expected. In this episode, we’re breaking down why exotic swaps and wild setups usually aren’t worth it. From impossible-to-find parts, endless wiring nightmares, custom fabrication, and tuning headaches, to the resale value that vanishes the second you cut the first mount — we cover it all. If you actually want a car you can drive (and not just park for Instagram likes), proven platforms like LS, JZ, and K-series swaps are the way to go. They’re reliable, supported, and you’ll actually get to enjoy the build instead of fighting it forever. 👉 Tune in as we talk social media hype vs. real-world reliability, share shop stories, and explain why exotic swaps are more trouble than they’re worth Email us at media@trickfactory.com for any questions, inquiries or sponsorship opportunities HPA Academy Discount Code: TRICK50 HPA Academy Affiliate links:  Homepage: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc EFI Tuning: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-efi Engine Building: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-engine Wiring: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-wiring Suspension & Car Setup: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-setup Fabrication & Design: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-fab  Diesel Tuning: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-diesel Driver Training: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-driver Electric Vehicles: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-ev VIP: https://hpcdmy.co/tfc-vip You can check out our Youtube channels here:  https://youtube.com/@TrickFactory https://youtube.com/@ModifywithTFC   Follow us on Social Media:  https://www.instagram.com/trickfactory_customs https://www.facebook.com/trickfactorycustoms/ https://www.tiktok.com/@trickfactorycustoms #modifywithTFC #automotivepodcast #westcoastdreammachines
