Runs Good - Episode Guide

Will we be America's next best drag team, or did we just buy a lemon? In the series premiere of Runs Good, Dan, Shea, and Aaron buy a Fox Body Mustang drag project that was halfway through a turbocharged LS heart transplant. With their eyes set on 700-plus hp, they attempt to finish it within five days for a local run-what-ya-brung event.

If you can't beat 'em, cheat! Dan, Shea and Aaron buy a completely stripped-out Mini off Facebook Marketplace, with a goal to completely transform it into a fully fledged spec car in only four days. Because the boys don't like to lose, they scheme to add an illegal nitrous bottle and disguise it as a fire extinguisher.

Dan, Shea and Aaron drive an hour north of Albuquerque to investigate an intriguing listing about a $3,250 Jeep Comanche. It's already been lifted, has an impressive back cage, and allegedly "runs good." They're just going to have to trust the previous owner because the car doesn't have a gas tank and can't be turned over.

In this episode of Runs Good, the boys buy yet another non-running car, sight unseen. This project is a Subaru Legacy that was listed for $2,000. It already had a lift kit, roof rack, and bash bar installed, but the original owner couldn't sort out why it wouldn't turn over after some at-home maintenance. Once something has been taken apart, does it ever truly go back together? With slight trepidation, the guys press onward and attempt to resuscitate this stalled project and add a bunch of other overlanding goodies to this Legacy.

Dan, Shea and Aaron take a short train ride to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to take a look at a Chevy Silverado 2500 that has had an LS transplant. The previous owner originally wanted to turn it into a Sunday cruiser, but couldn't sort out why the car would randomly shift into neutral. Undeterred, the guys press forward and set out to complete what he started.

Never meet your hero's kids, especially when that hero is a 30-year-old Import. In the season finale of Runs Good, Dan, Shea, and Aaron fly to Grand Junction, Colorado, to investigate a listing about a Nissan Skyline GTS-t drift project. In only three days the guys completely transform this stalled project into a legendary drift missile.

Dan, Shea and Aaron try to bring an LS-swapped 944 back to life. This stalled Porsche project sat untouched in the previous owner's side yard for years. They're going to complete what its last owner couldn't, building the ultimate high-revving, tight-handling racing machine that will turn heads on and off the track.

Dan and Shea drive out to Clovis, New Mexico, to rescue the holy grail of JDM imports, a 40-year-old Toyota AE86 sitting neglected in a driveway. When they get it back to the shop, Aaron is quick to point out everything literally falling off the car. With a bunch of new parts, they try to get this car looking and running better than it has in four decades.

It's immediately apparent why the previous owner couldn't finish this Mustang Cobra project -- it's got issues. Despite the '99's reputation as the worst of the bunch, Dan, Shea and Aaron hope to turn this flailing, failed project into a race-ready 2000 Cobra SVT tribute.

Thanks to a blown turbo, this engine-swapped Ford Ranger project has been gathering dust. To rescue this "Urban Assault Vehicle," Dave Chappelle (Dirt Everyday) helps Dan, Shea and Aaron fix and fabricate to create an intimidating Ranger that can handle any terrain.

Shea, Dan and guest host Wiley Stevens get less than they bargained for when a mess of a project car turns up and doesn't look anything like its photos. Undeterred, they tackle the original owner's plan of creating the ultimate engine-swapped JDM grocery-getter and photo-worthy, five-speed, boosted power wagon.

With the help of Amir Bentatou (Superstreet Garage), Shea, Aaron and Dan rescue this rust-riddled 1989 Honda CRX from what would ultimately be the scrap pile. The previous owners wanted to thrash it on track, but with problem after problem, no one ever got any seat time in this unit. Can the guys complete this car and do what no other owner could? Tune in to find out!

With an always packed schedule, it turns out that Dan is no better than any other project car owner. He let his C5 Corvette project fall to the wayside, but all the while he's been acquiring parts for performance and looks. Shea and Aaron give him the final push to get his Corvette out of his side yard and into a car show.

Aaron thinks a stalled RX-7 drift project checks all the boxes. The car has the makings to be a powerhouse drift car, with a surprise under the hood that makes this candidate all the more enticing.

Dan found a Miata with shoddy welds and big ambition that led to this project grinding to a halt. Shea, Aaron and Dan take inspiration from the original owner's plan to complete the ultimate version of what he intended. It won't be long till this over-the-top build is ripping rooster tails in the dunes!

Shea, Aaron and Dan tackle a car that holds a special spot in their hearts. This V-8-powered Subaru STI looks good on the surface, but needed a complete mechanical overhaul, with some extra little touches. Given Subaru's pedigree, the guys get the build sorted and put it through its paces on the tarmac and the dirt.
