The team is finalizing budgets and mechanical setups for the "Cheap Car Challenge" vehicles, heavily debating the fair market value of sourced parts while acquiring junkyard engines and planning turbo installations.

• Budget audit — The group is reviewing all invoices, debating whether the heavily discounted "scratch and dent" prices claimed for suspension and engine components reflect true market value [06:54].

• S10 build — The crew visited a junkyard to acquire a $250 engine and a Ford Explorer rear end to replace missing drivetrain components [34:46].

• Safety rules — The host reaffirmed that while all parts must be accounted for, safety-critical items like brakes and fuel lines are exempt from budget caps and can be upgraded to higher-quality gear [15:47].

• New daily driver — Tye acquired a 1998 Nissan 240SX with functional air conditioning to serve as his new primary transportation [02:46].
