For Christmas, Edwin and Jack gave Ethan the surprise treat of a Honda SM-X. However, it's not one you'd exactly call 'tidy' - and certainly arrived with its fair share of rust issues. This week, Ethan and Jack are taking the Honda to specialists AutoMatrix UK to have a deep-dive into its issues. They'll determine if this is the rustiest car we've ever owned, and if Ethan has any chance of saving it from the scrapheap.

This week, Ethan has been tasked by Jack and Edwin to take an engine out in just 24 hours. It's not just any ordinary engine he's dealing with, though, rather the legendary 2JZ currently sitting under the bonnet of our Lexus GS300. There'll be no helping hand for Ethan, so he'll have to come up with some creative ways to manage pulling the six-cylinder out from its bay. However, if he can manage it, there's a reward waiting for him - a few mods for his new project car, the Honda SMX.
