In the latest episode of Car Throttle, the team embarks on a daring mission to extract the legendary 2JZ engine from an old Lexus. But there's a twist - the task falls upon the shoulders of Ethan, the resident non-car guy. With a ticking clock and the promise of parts for his Honda SMX project car, Ethan must prove his worth in the automotive world.
From the get-go, it's clear that Ethan is in for a wild ride. The challenges begin with a rat-infested engine bay and electrical gremlins. Undeterred, Ethan soldiers on, armed with power-ups and guidance from the team. He tackles the engine removal with a mix of determination and cluelessness, taking apart various components and learning on the go.
As the hours tick by, Ethan faces setbacks and moments of triumph. He wrestles with stubborn bolts, inadvertently removes the wrong parts, and even has a close encounter with a massive rat. But through it all, he perseveres. With the team's support and a little bit of luck, Ethan manages to disconnect the engine's wiring harness and make significant progress.
The clock is still ticking, and the pressure is on. Will Ethan successfully remove the 2JZ engine within the given time frame? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure - this episode of Car Throttle is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with laughter, frustration, and a whole lot of automotive chaos.
