Heeltoe Corner Club

Marcus gives some preview info on upcoming Fastline Performance products as well as a quick history of how CT Icebox Intakes landed under the Heeltoe umbrella of products.

Getting back into the swing of things with the podcast, Marcus has a solo session to discuss the Heeltoe brand a little and how we are planning to use media of YouTube and Podcast going forward. Also, we discuss the merits of a 1g NSX as a road trip vehicle. It's a high-performance car but surprisingly good for 24 hours of driving. A few little modern conveniences aside, it's a great road warrior....

Unbelievably, Heeltoe's Facebook page was hacked in Sept 2022 and Facebook has yet to do a thing about it! Hear more about the details of what happened and where we are to date with this ongoing, annoying saga.

Clutches and flywheels are frequently over-bought. The idea that more clutch is better, combined with the fear of not buying enough clutch often drives people to over-do it when it comes to clutch selection. The clutch industry has done nobody any favors, either, as each of them has their own secret sauce when it comes to specs, performance, drivability, and naming convention. This episode of Heel...

In this episode, Graham does a terrible job of talking me out of buying another car. Faced with a Hot Rodded 1987 Civic Si, Marcus is working out the logic in buying yet another car. Fearful of the consequence of swelling the HT Garage and the inevitable spousal backlash, he's just a little gun-shy. But let's face it, this car is going to get bought by someone who doesn't need it. Might as well be...

Graham and Marcus tackle the difficult situation when you've laid out thousands of dollars on a supercharger kit and have waited for 2, 3, 6, 7 or more months for it to ship! What the heck is going on? It could be many things. If you have bought from a reputable seller, like Heeltoe, you will get your kit. But it could take some time! Then our chat sort of segued to other general car build chatter...

Black Friday always brings some great sales, but this year was a massive learning opportunity for Heeltoe. We did well, and actually stabilized pretty well in the aftermath. But the sights are set firmly on 2022 and how we will maximize our potential! The 2022 Civic Si is released! Graham and Marcus chat a little about this car and what impact modern Hondas are having on the public. Lastly, a disc...

This is our first part-focused episode. We explore blow-off valves. What do they do, how do they work, what different kinds are there, and why and how you would upgrade one. I've tried to answer Graham's question directly but there are some tricky things behind how BOVs work in conjunction with the rest of the fuel injection system. Especially with Mass Air Flow applications, venting intake air to...

We recorded this somewhat free-form conversation before Black Friday 2021, but didn't give enough time to launch it before we got slammed for the actual Black Friday sales! Still learning here. But here it is, some chats about what makes up Cyber Turkey Days at Heeltoe. Some insights and peeves about Black Friday. Some of what goes into our strategies and what we have learned about these promotion...

Few people are thoroughly thrilled with the new Integra. The look doesn't "feel" Integra. But here is the thing, your disappointment was totally expected. I predicted it in episode 3. The 5 door profile, for sure, was going to turn off a lot of the DC2/DC5 fanboys. Acura is pretty proud of it, and honestly, they should be. They are making a more stylish version of a Civic Si, right down to the man...

The somewhat cliche, yet somewhat requisite show on knock-off, "fake," replica, or otherwise cheap parts. Who buys them? Why? Who should buy them? There is clearly a market for replica or cheaper production parts. But there is also a proper place for them. Maybe best to call them "practice parts." Listen as Graham and I discuss the ups, downs, lefts, and rights of cheaper parts and hoping you gain...

Marcus was on the ground for the #Gridlife GLTC Finale and shares some thoughts on that whole event, being a sponsor, and more. I get into a dive into the exploits of Heeltoe Sponsored Drivers Tom O'Gorman and Eric Kutil. But the big news here is the NEW Integra from Acura! There is soooo much buzz about this car; wild predictions, hopes and dreams... Sadly many of you will be disappointed, but th...

Here we are, episode 2, still getting our chops figured out. Sorry for the somewhat abrupt cutoff at the end, our camera died! Anyhow, Graham had posed a question about getting some paintwork done on his Evo X, and wanted some advice. Now I can't claim to be any kind of expert on this topic. I'm really just like you and he is in the enthusiast space. I don't have a go-to guy for many things like t...

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Heeltoe Corner Club podcast! Listen...we're newbs at this. We are much more accustomed to making YouTube videos, so if you want the visual angle all these pods will show up on YouTube @Heeltoe. Indeed, a viral video we posted on YouTube is what kicks off this podcast adventure! Marcus was at the private reveal of the NSX Type-S at Monterey Car Week August of 2021, and c...
