Thanks for coming along on this euro/v8 journey with us! Next episode we're revealing Moog's brand new car... brace yourselves...
Should have put a jz in
It's a pleasure guys! Can't wait till you'll put super gramps and the E30 together 😂
No challenges vs Bennys Lexus?
I had a great time.
Next up.. Rallying a Peugeot GTI?
I'm really glad you guys went back and properly sorted this car out! The original Activision vid felt rushed and tacky with all the "gadgets", but now the car looks mad!
The Activision ad 100% would have paid for the car to be finished. So a no-brainer really.
Yeah it was a let down on the first build - though we all realized what it was and why. Happy to see it get some proper attention. I hope they do a proper 16V Mk2 GTI some time.
So just like the game it was built for to promote, it was released unfinished and fixed later.
Really enjoyed the dark lighting when having a chat - you should use this more often.
FACTS
Quality was also very crisp on that segment. 👌
And rockin’ Aussie milk crate seats is waaaay cool 😎
@@tonybennett3332 Did you see the cutting board style on the seat pad? Very slick. Kinda like the car, posh and usable at the same time.
If they did little bits like that at the end of the video and talked about conspiracies related to the car or work they did, that could replace unicorn circuit too, cool idea
I was going to give you guys props for actually finishing your projects, but then I saw the brake light out hahahahaha! JK, love the car, looks amazing!
It fell out when we did skids. Fixed now.
That's HECTIC👀
And the interior door handle not working and rear side window trim chrome is showing...needs black touch up paint ha
Late 80s early 90s BMWs have such an iconic cool look. Its odd that that car has parts from car manufacturers all over the world, but its also interesting that it came out as a "worldly" car.
Always loved the look of the black and gold JPS touring car in the 80s.
Holy crap I just looked it up thank you
One of my all time favourite liveries as well!
forgetting the jps f1 cars.
E24s are cool as hell, I may be biased though as my dad has one.
@@Sk1m_Beeble i love the old bimmers, it's an absolute treat seeing an old 6er. what I6 is in your dad's one?
Thank you guys for always making my days a little brighter
Love it guys. I’ve been subscribed since the garage sub woofer days and have grown out of cars now that I’m a mom, but I still watch you guys and still love it!
It’s 1am. Of course I’m gonna watch McM before bed
We NEED a race of the MCM LS E30 vs Benny's LS IS"600"! 😂
Agreed. This is a race that has to happen. Drag or circuit
@@davidt3196 Drag & circuit IMO.
Plus Moog's BRZ.
And Woody`s V8, I don`t know if Al has any v8.
Watching this while my house is about to burn down in AZ Definitely worth it
Prescott?
@@afa304 is a
Benson ?
@@afa304 out side verde lakes
I hope it was not as bad as you was thinking 2 days ago, just remember to stay positive 👍🏼
I'm an 80's kid. I have many fond memories of seeing these cars, I've always loved the shape. What you lads have done here is to me, probably the most wonderful thing you have ever done. It's absolutely gorgeous with the perfect donk to suit.
It may not be as original, or quirky as an ITB orbital K-series electric steam hybrid, but it just works.
The "Black-Chops" song still gives me goosebumps when you're showing that maaad mad car! It's just so new millennium 80's menacing & it's such a great setup so far. Great work guys!
E30s are some of the best looking cars of all time, hands down.
Also 70s 911's.
Where I live they pretty much equals "Turkish 2nd generation immigrants". Especially if they're black, rimmed and with mirror foiled windows.
@@andersjjensen Did you mean a debadged 523 from 2001 with rust?
facts
@@andersjjensen your point of view is pretty narrow...
You are two awesome Blokes. Your work gives me the chills.
The Beemer looked PERFECT in the Tunnel Shot at the 7:50 mark.
The Music is ON POINT.
Deep inside my chest something yearns for more of this.
You guys finalised my decision to ls swap my e30, already got the ls t56 ready to go just need to get brintech kit and I'm good
They also finalised my decision to B18 swap my Mini. Starting to finally get the parts together...
Good luck with the Brintech kit, have seen their mounts not line up at all with where they should.
@@fellowship_of_the_goat oh, damn
@@ashleysharkey6406 would be mad man
That E30 is utterly beautiful now. I hope it goes to a classic restomod enthusiast that takes it to shows and cherishes it. I had one in the UK they were still in production, and my young kids (who are about your ages) called it “Daddy’s Hyperthrust” 😊🇬🇧
Saw Marty in super gramps leaving luddenham raceway this week, looking forward to that video 😍
Love the skids! Nothing like the feeling of having the rear end come out and catching it. Moog, you'll get it dialed man! Love the enthusiasm! With that much power and a short wheelbase, definitely a handful!
I think everyone is sad when projects end, but also elated that soon there'll be a new crusty car ready for decrustification for maximum creaminess!
This is 100% the best car you have ever done to date, amazing. Hope to see this on the streets of Sydney sometime!
Hook the angel eyes up to an accessory wire or something that comes on with the ignition and they'll run all the time and will look fantastic with the black paint!
Im so glad you guys really finished this car. I love BMWs, and i know people would pay an insane amount for this car (at least in the US right now lol)...
Moog: Clickity clickity front and back
Me: Are you modding a horse?!
mustang?! lol
Bronco?
I've got an e30 aswell, we put a half build k24a2 in, and lightened it a little, it makes 600 on high boost, and 400 on everyday use, i Love this car... Greetings from Germany
I love this car, beautiful body style and an LS swap. Hope to see more of it
Marty I have been doing that scanns for over a year now and never thought of adding a ruler, GENIUS MAN!
Just remember the metric side goes down....
This is the best looking MCM car, by far. Might be the quickest too........
I think the Cresta would smoke this.
This car looks great. I am glad you brought it back to wrap it up. E30s looks so cool and now "it just works".
Never have I clicked so fast. Greetings from TEXAS
Right!!!!
What u doin up at 11?
Same. We should all wear car stuff on Mondays mcm Mondays.
Don't mess with Texas.
Me too 😂
Glad to see you figured out what an E30 with powerful engine is all about! They are one of the funniest cars to drive around, and very good looking and sounding as well if done properly.
One of the greatest builds pham keep up the amazing work 👍
this is one nice E30... really appreciate it since E30s and E24s are my favorite cars ever. The chassis styling is just out of this world
And they never mentioned Call Of Duty again
Good job Marty and Moog work on the BLACK CH-OPS it goes really fast on the race track and road looks amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can't wait to see it with the cold air intake through the headlight hole.
I’m glad you gents really enjoyed the E30 build. Those cars tend to put big smiles on faces when they aren’t causing you problems
It’s all about the smiles per hour.
The car turned out great. Looks very nice cruising down the road. Thanks for the MCM Badges in my last package. Very Cool. I haven't gotten around to putting the Honda Poster in a frame as yet, but I'm sure it'll look sweet-as when I do. Looking forward to your next project. Moog definitely seems happy about it, which probably means some great music he will make for that build series. Keep Up The Great Work Boys.
ModMax sitting in the paddock "Am I a joke to you Martin?"
I know he means roadcar...
In soviet Russia, everything is road car.
@@WeldinMike27 in Florida, you can tow a meth lab in a wheel barrow behind a motorized shopping cart, and still get it registered. They will give a plate to anything with wheels
@@arcadiagreen150 sounds like a plan!!
Love the feel goodness from the reflections of the journey with the vehicles, always brings joy to my day. Look forward to the next one lads! :D
Can’t wait for you boys to come back to Perth to host another event
love black chops was such a killer build. can't wait to see it on the track now
I like the Nats what I reckon shirt ,2 legendary Aussie channels
"fuck jar sauce"
Have seen him wear an mcm shirt just recently too!
Love it
You normally love turbo engines but I have to say that having been a convert to cubic inches NA, this is great to see how you have found this. Loved this series.
Instead of those blanking plates, why not connect them to create an H pipe?
I forgot about the song you played while talking about the diff and i will HAVE to go listen to it again after this video. I really really like Moog's music. It always hits me in a good place of my soul.
you should open up a hidden air flow canal from the inside of the wheel arch, directly to the air intake. That way you don't destroy the appearance and get some proper air flow
Thats how you suck water into the intake
@@shawngebo697 you mean extra compression? because water injection is a thing ;)
@@shawngebo697 yeah if you just take a hole saw to your wheel well. If you do it properly and make a splash guard and put a rain sock on your filter then it will be fine
Real nice to see that you guys have finally leveled up and got enough badges to unlock the euro-cars XD really love it!!
Does it feel like the interior DIY segment was cut short?
Yes!
Next up: FD RX-7 full out restomod. You guys are at that level now. You've been tinkering and toying with cars for more than 10 years and you have the support network to do it. And it's the next natural progression after mad turbo nuggets and V8 swaps. Go rotary with mad braaaaps! :D
Welcome to the world of v8s. Same same but different. No replacement for displacement
Well done guys. Aside from the 240 this is probably my favourite car you guys have done so far. Can't wait for the Gemini too
“For some reason they have tons of parts for e30s and they’re cheap” I WISH!
Memories! My first car was a 318 E30 I got for about 1200 dollars/euros in awesome nick, even with no power it was super fun to drive!
Hell yeah
Great video.Anyone that hates on a LS swap has never owned a LS swapped car.i have a 1967 LS swapped Mercedes and love it.
yo just wanted to say your conematography is getting so dope :)
why do i love this show so much!? thank you roadkill for sending me this way .... i still watch you every now & then i promise. but youve never done a road trip in japan have you
Hey Guys.
How about a real Ute on the show?
Bart
Hands down the best build you guys have done so far !!!
Love the end result
VLSD will definitely struggle keeping it sideways, even more so in the rain
Yep we sure learned that! Fun though
@@mightycarmods are you guys looking to sell the E30? Please let.me know if you do, thanks
Paused @7:23 That's a proper man love look...Great build fellas & enjoy your massive skids...E30 to win btw...
I so want to buy this off them.
Great video guys ,COULD SEE YOU FALLING IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR
Y’all should have made a “H” pipe exhaust nested of blocking off the cut outs.
The exhaust ends on a single exit anyways, X and H pipes are cool for dual exhausts, won't change much with a single exhaust
@@joealex65 Would still help with scavenging connecting that early, wouldn´t it?
@@joealex65 I think that car has a true duel exhaust. That’s the only reason why suggested it. At a minute 1:07 you can see the complete exhaust system
Long live Black Chops! You can tell Marty is very proud of this ride as he talks at length about it.
Finger Guns at the end of the episode gave me Hope.
Stunning car fellas. The E30 3 series here in the UK and Europe have a huge following and are an Iconic car and just cool as fuck.
Maybe the 2nd time ive caught MCM in under 10min from the post...
I used to have one of those..
Billstein b8 shocks, with h&r sway bars and springs do wonders to the handling
all these years and the shop still doesnt have a lift lol
Pretty sure it has something to do with the concrete
Just another excuse to make more friends and use theirs haha
Marty has one, but it's probably better this way.
Yeah, that's the story.
And they say that it would take too much room.
Top tip for the car for skid pans and track days or just a skid with a friend put a set of windscreen wipes and wash controls on the passenger side so you can do skid with out worrying about your view 😂
This is by far my favorite car on this entire series. Easily.
Well done guys..great to see an old one get the love..it's a beautiful car..GILF
So keen to see the finished product!
Was not disappointed
This is my favorite car you guys have ever had on the channel. So nicely done
I've always wanted to do a LS swap in my E30 but never did because cost. Ended up doing a M30B35 in mine for free by selling everything else off the donor car! Can't beat that!
Great E30 project, I've always wanted to drive a E30 V8. I just got the little 4 banger 2.3l
Thanks for throwing me a bone this week guys. Between plumbing issues at home and dealing with a terrible ticket volume at work this week I really needed some FAT SKIDS
Time to get this back on the channel and revisit some of the other recently forgotten builds. i didn't even know about this, or a 240z!
Great looking build guys! It was great watching the evolution, and the shenanigans!
Hell jeah! Bought a e30 for fun rides and now i'm driving it daily with a m52b28 swap. Awsome fun with this car!
One E30 that was near death has been recover and looks quite good ... more that good.😍
Fantastic fellas. Great series.
This IS a awesome BMW!! Hope you keep this one.
I miss my old grey E30 325i SE... she handled and went well enough (from factory was about 190Bhp - but i guess she had lost a little by time i got her), but even so, well built, balanced chassis/handling... Loved her.... Well... until a job came up i just couldn't afford to have repaired... a snapped cam belt whilst driving... Whish I had kept her and saved up... They fetch silly money here in he UK...
Bloody great looking BMW, thanks for this awesome series
One of the best looking 3 series now with epic performance
A subtle hood scoop (the type that sets into the hood) would look cool and feed that intake cooler air,
digging this build man. Next BMW build - E34 with an S85 and manual box?
TY for doing what you do guys, my mate had one of these M3 and they're nuts.
Ah yes the scanner trick. Did the same on all of my bikes, except I scanned the part and then made the gasket. Works really well
Of all the cars ever featured on Mighty Car Mods, this is the one I covet the most!
Show carpet or didn't happen!
This has been a fascinating and new kind of content, love it, love you, thank you!
I love it. My father had an E30 back in the days.
solid content as always, anything BMW is just pure awesome 💘
Moog's got that touch of gray going on. Man that E30 looks good, great job!
From an old Haynes workshop manual to here! Great trip
