JARA STOJANOVIC / MILKCHICKENWriterOwner of the title ‘too many cars to remember’, Jara is happy to lend a helping hand to those who demand. However, don’t let her kind exterior fool you, she has no problem putting the boys in their place when it comes to Honda tuning.The tool I use the most when modding is:A hammer. No matter what I’m doing, a hammer is never too far away. If you can’t fix it with duct tape, hit it with a hammer.
JAMES KINGHAM / JENGAWriterJames is a rather late bloomer in the car modding world. Before buying his first project car 2 years ago he knew little more than how to change oil, but today he is fabricating turbo and ECU setups from scratch. When he isn’t studying, he’s often found tinkering in the garage on his current project cars; the ex-MCM Mighty Mira and a Mitsubishi RVR.The tool I use the most when modding is:10mm or 3/8” Socket. Simple.
GARTH IVERSArt Direction & DesignMeticulous designer, obsessive music addict & AE86 die-hard pretty much defines our one-man art department. If not at his desk buried in pixels, Garth can normally be found under the hood of his AE86 ‘hachiroku’ Trueno or through digging stacks of vinyl records. He also runs the AE86 community, Hachiroku.com.auThe tool I use the most when modding is:The Internet. Knowledge is the best tool.
NICHOLAS RAMALHO / BLADE888EditorNick’s love of cars, driving and mechanical skills, came from his father, a Touring Car driver in the 1970s. When not tinkering with IT Tech, or instructing a Cadet Squadron in aviation, you will find him in his car or under it. On a cruise, a race track or a driveway, he’ll be having good times with mates helping out where he can and enjoying the company.The tool I use the most when modding is:Laptop with USB Workshop manual.
JOSH NEALE / JMACMAN12WriterJosh is a certified Canadian, general car nut and rather opinionated but in a kind (Canadian) manner. He’s also an avid Audi and Mazda enthusiast, often seen working on either two.
The tool I use the most when modding is:Isn’t a tool at all, it’s my mechanics suit that I always put on regardless of the mod!
VINCENT TANNAHIL / MAUSWERKSWriterVincent is a photographer, former aircraft mechanic, mechatronics engineering student, and an electric car nut. His first project car was a 1988 Audi 80 Quattro and he’s been a lover of european imports ever since. His current car is a 1992 BMW 318is which he plans to convert to run on batteries.
The tool I use the most when modding is:An auto-ranging Multimeter

ISSUE07. COLUMNISTS & CONTRIBUTORS
MARTY MOOGMIGHTY CAR MODS IS..
Moddius Expertus Presentusius Undercover Soccer MumMarty’s favourite shirt reads “no tofu” but despite this, he and Moog still manage to stay great friends while creating the hit show Mighty Car Mods. Since he was a teenager he’s been modifying anything that moves, and some things that don’t. He feels most at home in a spare parts shop or wreckers yard scouring for parts to put to use on the driveway and believes that a mod worth doing, is a mod worth doing yourself.
The tool I use the most when modding is:A 30cm long shaft Phillips No.2 screw driver I got from the USA. It’s so good I bought 3 more as backups.
Moog is host, and co-creator of the hit YouTube series Mighty Car Mods which started in 2008. He has owned many cars ranging from his Mini, VL Commodore and three-wheeled Camira, through to a range of S13’s, modified Golf GTI’s and his defeated JDM S15. He has filmed over 100 episodes of Mighty Car Mods in locations including USA, Japan and Hong Kong. He dislikes eggplant immensely.
The tool I use the most when modding is:My phone. I’m always on there checking for diagrams and useful info, and when all else fails, using it to call Mechanical Stig.
IRONGAVSee more of IRONGAV @ www.irongav.comDespite having a degree in industrial design, Gavin’s real interest in cars really only came after he was able to afford to buy them - never settling for anything average, this took quite a bit of time working his way up from intern slave through to feature film art department and then finally head designer of his own and other companies involved with film / video production. Decidedly biased towards anything “made in Germany” he is currently trying to find a pair of long pants that fit like his shorts you will see him in 365 days a year.The tool I use the most when modding is:Marty... or my credit card
