Mechanical Stig takes his freshly wide-bodied, all wheel drive, V8, Turbocharged Nissan Stagea out onto the skid pan to see if he can get a quicker time than our MX5's/
Oskar Holmström Yes I did, but maybe I don't understand what a playpen is since I'm not a native english speaker. Mythbusters put a bull in a normal rodeo arena with shelves full if "fine china". The bulls did not hit any shelves or drop any china. Stagea did hit a few cones so it fared worse than bulls.
Double Unicorn is like the Perfect car. V8, turbo, 4WD, R34 nose, Enkei RPF1's, and "sleeper" wagon look. I'd literally piss rainbow colored tofu if I had the skills and money to build one.
Jordan Pence you realize the weight of the v8 would be lighter than the rb25det that was in it, right. The VH41 is an alloy block, and the RB is iron, and heavy as fuck
Always had a soft spot for Stageas, but damn, Double Unicorn takes it to a whole new level. Especially with the flares on the back. Now it really does look like an R34 GTR wagon.
when Benny loses the back end and hits a cone, the correct technique to resolve that issue is left foot braking. it is similar to trailing braking on a motorbike however the reason is different. the braking while maintaining throttle allows grip to the front wheels in a similar way that weight transfer into the corner operates but in a mini version. lfb improves cornering speed anywhere weight transfer is interrupted and grip is reduced such as one slow corner into another (can't brake hard) or double apex corners (not appropriate to brake mid corner). the feeling is that the front end is floating and you can't reel it in, lfb gives the feel and grip back straight away (press down essentially on both pedals until the floating goes away)....
Jokkeri yea but it's more important to be able to ride comfy on the street than being able to save off couple millisecond going from McD ordering window to launching then taking a sharp 90degree turn to get to the picking up window.
That Stagea looked like a Bull in a playpen trying to avoid the fine china.
Mythbusters tested that. The bulls did not break any china :)
did you read his comment?

why would you keep fine china in your playpen?
Pedro Rivera Wow, such an original insult. Did you just learn that in school? That is straight up 10-12 year old stuff right there.
the epic ness in this wagon is amazing, the sounds, the looks, the skids, just everything
I wish they'd left in that false start, that would have been hilarious : )
Indeed...
Double Unicorn is like the Perfect car. V8, turbo, 4WD, R34 nose, Enkei RPF1's, and "sleeper" wagon look. I'd literally piss rainbow colored tofu if I had the skills and money to build one.
i know, that thing is awesome. where do you go from here? if you go supercar you loose all that utility and street cred.
'I'll edit that bit out'...'No you won't!'.... he's right - lmao
i usualy dont like vagons, but d-unicorn is the game changer. such a beautiful car
That's gotta be the sickest car I've seen.
That launch at the start was amazing. And then when he put it in gear - even better.
Look at the way that gigantic thing moves. It's so bizarre.
Adam Drumonde Yeah, its size really shows, especially with how hard the front end was digging. The weight of that V8 has taken its toll on handling.
It has always been a big station wagon, not exactly what anyone would choose for an autocross build...
Jordan Pence you realize the weight of the v8 would be lighter than the rb25det that was in it, right. The VH41 is an alloy block, and the RB is iron, and heavy as fuck
and it's awd
Even in the rain that thing launches like a beast. Love that car.
can we have some more double unicorn skids?
PLEASE
god damn that launch 😍😩
Talk about being out of your element. I'm impressed it handled it that well after all. Cool!
Bennys Stagea looks even better wide bodied, an awesome car made even more stunning............this is my all time favourite MCM styled motor.
Always had a soft spot for Stageas, but damn, Double Unicorn takes it to a whole new level. Especially with the flares on the back. Now it really does look like an R34 GTR wagon.
Those wheels really compliment the colour of the car! Uuuuuuuuuunicorn!
that thing launched so hard but is so rediculously long I love it
The way that car took off the line, its a beast
Oh my god! The sound, the look, everything is spot on! I'm jealous!!!
When will there be another project build like the Stagea on your main channel? Those are my favourite videos!
that has to be one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard
God I love that wagon. Awesome build guys.
the way it grips and goes on a wet surface. sweet
did he ever upgrade the fuel pump?
Not yet
bsmusic good to see someone else watching the episodes still
@@ryonwastaken Did you end up rewatching the whole build as well? Classic
The launch was awesome. Maybe a harder suspension could help with cornering.
Well done, mates.
Double Unicorn has got to be in the top 10 coolest cars in the world. Supergramps is also on that list.
that stagia is a thing of beauty
great show ! what a beast the double unicorn is . pretty savage with the edit on mechanical stig lol
Stunning car , my favourite build featured on here.
Jesus the stagea is an amazing machine.
Wish there was more footage of this getting around. One of my favourite cars ever
Good to see the wide bodykit in action!
Such a clean wagon and not even riced out!
Love that wastegate sound :D
I need to see more videos of this car in action. It's majestic AF.
That Nissan stagea Double Unicorn with V8 engine it goes really fast 👏👏👏👏
That thing makes an AWESOME noise!
Love the atmosphere waste gate sound😍

i dislike fuckin tease vids, but still watch with eye's wide open.
This wasn't a tease, just some extra footage.
i watched this uincorn built from the ground up. were both fans😎
Me too. Awesome build.
I've liked this more then the official skid pan video :')
dat widebody tho
2 mcmtv2 episodes in 2 days - that's a double unicorn for me! What was the MX-5 time again?
I think it was about the same as the Stagea.
Ceazar Carr it was low 50s but Bennie said on his Facebook that this was one of his messier runs so could've been about the same
49.32
Mojo Thanks!
moog: I'll edit that out!
mechanical stig: no you won't.
that launch was amazeballs!!!! madd
Shit shower shave then mcm uploads? What a night
that thing sounds amazing
that launch was insane! !
That take off was insane haha!
For when you absolutely need to get the groceries as fast as possible.
Such a lovely car that one!
wow that still launched like a bat out of hell in the wet
what a monster of a car!
That's one fast wagon!!
Fuck... that thing sounds amazing! More double unicorn please
Such an amazing build!!!
It sounds dirty, I love it!
Sweeeeeet. What a car. I love it.
Holy guacamole that thing is cool!
Mech Stig still such a stance kid.
i'm just gonna say it, the rear end is straight from a Honda Odyssey
The lack of skids disappoints me
MORE SKIDS
Well, at least it's fast in a straight line...
I mean it didn't corner badly at all for how big it is.
My comment probably sounds more "hater" than I meant it to be...
UndergroundTrev It's all good.
No kidding, that launch was intense. A big car to throw around though.
cool start!
That thing is a monster
Double unicorn POWER
That is the coolest freakin' car.
that was real fast off the starting line with wet tires.
That is a great Looking Car!
so sad we don't see stagea's in the netherlands :(
Stagea is very rare on Europe :(
ercxzz espicially turbo ones
Fabian van den Bussche There are a few imported ones ;)
nonexistent in america.
there are at least two for sale right now
He needs better shocks for autocross but im sure its not what he built it for anyways. I love that car.
Well that was pointless without a frame of reference. Ah well it's always good to see mech stig get outta the shop for chop.
Sounds amazing
Mcm needs to put out exhaust videos for everyone of their builds like when they did it for the 240sx drift car.
That thing is so sweet
love that car
Man I wish I had money and a big garage
his time was way worse with those penalties from hitting the cones
yay now i get to watch this before turoring
Imagine it on a dry track.
Or better yet, snow.
Nice boat you got there :p
Sounds amazing :D
i wish we had that car in the states
wow that thing is fast!
Dat launch!
Love that wagon but those tail lights scream Honda Odyssey
Cone killer!
NEED MORE SKIDS😭😭😭😭
Holy crap that widebody is sexual. I want this car more than I want my next breath.
R33Racer there is no widebody...
BRAV0 TWO ZER0 Obviously you didn't watch the video (or read the thumbnail).
R33Racer I did.... there is not a single car with a widebody kit in the video, you must've been watching another video.
BRAV0 TWO ZER0 Whatever you say man.
R33Racer yeah... whatever...
that thing looks mean! you don't cross the road on red with that beast around! ahahaha
Master Of Puppets t shirt. Kudos.
Super gramps next?
wow that suspension is loose, the front bumper almost hit the ground under braking.
Jokkeri yea but it's more important to be able to ride comfy on the street than being able to save off couple millisecond going from McD ordering window to launching then taking a sharp 90degree turn to get to the picking up window.
I reckon supergramps would be a tad faster round the skid pan, not hating on the corns but that thing looks heavy as heck.
That fuckin launch..
Will the Nissan Silvia model ever get Finnish?
its my dream car
More episodes!!!
Damn....that is menacing as shit
