Redline Republic | Automotive and Car Culture Talk

Donegal Rally weekend is unlike anything else in Ireland.
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. From first experiences of Donegal Rally weekend to CB radio stories, favourite memories, survival tips for first timers and plenty of completely unplanned tangents along the way, this episode captures what makes Donegal so special.
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.
Thanks for listening and we'll see you all in Donegal.

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?

In Episode 20 of the Redline Republic Podcast, we discuss the rising prices of Japanese cars and try to figure out what could become the next Toyota Chaser.
We chat about future classics, whether it's better to buy or build a project car, oversized wheels, dream builds, SR20-swapped Micras, CB aerials, and some of the worst trends to ever hit the Irish car scene.
As always, we finish up with listener comments and a few questionable ideas along the way.

In Episode 19 of the Redline Republic Podcast, Dan and Badger tackle one of the biggest debates in the car scene: would you rather own a spotless show car or a rougher car with real character?
We discuss why some enthusiasts spend years chasing perfect paint, spotless engine bays and show trophies, while others would rather drive, modify and enjoy their cars without worrying about every stone chip and scratch. From EK9 Civics and Kanjo-style builds to track cars, drift cars and daily drivers, we break down what makes a car truly special.
We also talk about the unbelievable moment Drift Games mentioned the podcast, the ongoing Corolla saga, NCT struggles, upcoming events, listener questions and some of the automotive stories that could only happen in Ireland.
Whether you're into JDM cars, drifting, track days, car shows, Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, Irish car culture or just enjoy two lads talking absolute shite about cars, there's something in this episode for you.
Topics covered:
Show cars vs track cars

JDM car culture

Episode 18 is here.
This week started with a debate on whether underglow should make a comeback and somehow turned into E11 Corollas, Bora prices, raffle cars, insurance stories and complete chaos.
In this episode we got into:
Should every modified car have underglow?

E11 Corolla vs Bora

Why Bora prices have gone completely mental

Raffle wins and car scene stories

Why people insist on doing 60 in an 80

Somehow ending up talking about catching chickens

As usual, it started as a car podcast and ended up going completely off the rails.
Listen now and let us know what side you're on — underglow or no underglow?
Available now on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
