How To Fix a Broken MOON BUGGY ($10,000 Rear Engine Challenge)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 бер 2020
- After picking up this abandoned 1970's beetle for $8,000, it' time to get it working so it can chop Martys MR2 in our $10,000 rear engine challenge. But this car has been in storage for over 5 years and is unlike anything that's ever been on the show. Being so old and strange, it's going to need a unique set of skills to make it skid all the way to victory...

15:39 hello Cheryl I spotted it 1st 😂
When you're so poor you can't even afford the free calendar. :(
Here's the story of the car www.evolutioncustomindustries.com/moonbuggy.html
Replace that Carb with a HOLLY CARB!!!!!
Btw... I bet you don't even know what cowl injection is....
I'm 33.... I know how to build carbs... Cowl injections and TBI...
FUCK EFI.....
Carb and TBI is where the power is at....
Btw... You can run TBI without a computer... Run the injectors to your coil wire.... Simple. Oooor wire them on ignition.
Need this !
I like this guy. He's genuinely passionate about these things, and it shows.
He is definitely a true VW guy!
True
Thomas Foley yea. I had a kelhin carb for my drz and had to rebuild it. Couldnt imagine rebuilding one of these its crazy
@Thomas Foley if the Bug = Monkey on the back then Squareback = 800lb gorilla beat down. Despite my better judgement I am on my third one now. Found some 40mm DCNF webbers, then found out only Berg's manifold would fit and had to run a different (but very nice) linkage. Way too much $/hp but when she gets on cam it's all worth it. Don't know the SPG yet as I just got the new engine back in last week but I suspect sore cheeks.
MCM has a knack for finding these true enthusiast guys 👌

He likes old vag..lol
The rear engine challenge was an excuse to get this old beast out...
I was expecting the lad to be literally tied to a chair when his coworker said hes tied up..
Agreed....Moog tie the guy up first next time.
Please feature a car Isaac owns, he's so passionate and I'd love to see what he's built!
He's brilliant, I agree!
This dudes cool. It's like he's tuning forks long lost brother.
Thought exactly the same. Higher pitch voice with similar mannerisms.
@@DonPablo2011 definitely of the same seed anyways.
tuning......spoon?.....
@@ASRA177 hahaha that's perfect!
@@ASRA177 That's tuning fork's long lost Japanese brother who is into Hondas
The Foot gets me everytime 😂😂
To be honest I was expecting the soundtrack from the Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movie with their dune buggy
I'm waiting for the day when a hand slaps the foot or tickles it.....
"Absolute Boss on the g string" :D
This helps get over the loss of Yaris Hilton.
Nothing will ever fill that void. Just kidding.
I was scared the next project would be Keeping with the Cardashians. Lol lol
Personally I'd like to see Yaris Hilton get a heart transplant (Marty's 3S GTE from the mr2 if he looses that would be my choice)
Loss is relative, losing yaris Hilton may have been more like breaking up with a toxic girlfriend :o
@@johnnickerson9632 Don't talk about her like that! lol
More Isaac! He seems like a good bloke, knows his stuff and fits in well with the MCM crew!
MinTieS cant agree more
Buddies like your man Isaac there are absolutely golden. People with that level of interest and eye for detail cannot be valued highly enough for projects like this, you chose well Moog! I'm a little worried for Marty now :o
"Are mommy and dad getting divorced?"
"Is Issac gonna be our new dad?"
"I'm not calling him dad!"
I really hope that's not happening
He can be my daddy 👉🏻🦵🏻😮😫🥺
Instead of calling it the moon buggy you should call it the "Moog Buggy"
Moog Bunny
Such a Moog Unit.
Moog Boogy
Mooggy
What, like they did at the beginning of the last video, you mean?
I can tell just by listening to Isaac that he’s absolutely MINT as a guitar tech, too.
I just picked up an RG and im loving the neck feel
Legend says If he found he couldn't make it as a guitar tech his back up profession was rocket scientist
Super stoked you guys are keeping the VW engine.
My dad was a Vw mechanic here in Aus who ran a very successful hillclimb beetle (Haltech EFI, 2L, ~180rwhp) for most of my life until cancer got him. Brings a tear to my eye seeing an engine I know very well torn apart on this channel.
Everyone needs a friend like Isaac! What a legend.....
We absolutely love the fact that you are finally working on it old air-cooled Volkswagen! Your friend Isaac is a legend and he deserves a big pat on the back!. We would love to send your boy Isaac a free VW Life sticker If you would like one. We love seeing these old things get back on the road that's where they belong and they need to be driven! You're going to destroy that Toyota MR2! VW life forever!
PSSSSSTTT I heard something about that motor being a 2110.....that MrPOO
is chopped!
11secghia so if it is your fabled 2110, it will have about as many horsepower as the 3S-GTE has kilowatts stock, on a good day, but with far less torque as there isn’t any turbocharger involved. I admire you guys having passion, and we will have to see the outcome, but if it is isn’t a totally rotten SW20 and is done right it should be too much for this here VW custom. We shall see.
@@rsoul7282 yeh you're right, but just let them have their moment haha.
Issac: "It brings me fine joy to work on small car parts and make them work properly."
Moog: "Awesome."
MORE ISSAC please. He seems like a quite humble bloke with a stack of passion and knowledge. Would love to see one of his race cars or builds. Awesome addition to the MCM crew and knowledge pool.
Isaac talking about carburettors gave off the same infectious enthusiasm that I absorbed watching Steve Irwin when I was 8. What a legend.
Killer music this episode too Moog, love the drums on the track @7:20.
awesome old school super tech Isaac !! you can tell he is a perfectionist in his chosen fields of interest....just look at the way he laid out those disassembled Webers 👌
the guitar and Weber god has entered the building 😇
The String Superman does his job
MCN know the coolest people. I would have to put Isaac in that group.
You can see his enthusiasm from the start.
Moog is starting to look like a middle eastern owner of a Crossfit gym. Can't wait to see this get smashed by MR. POO!
Oddly specific comparison.
Oddly accurate comparison.
I love how Isaac didn't want to stop working on that carb at the end. He would look at you like, "right on, an outro.." and then get right back into looking at his carb. love it, true parts nerd. real recognize real!
Moog: *makes space pun*
Moog: *apologizes*
Moog: *makes space pun in narration*
While the build is fantastic, the music recently has been incredible. Loving Moogs' sound design at the moment!
Thanks mate!
Modestas 03 its on spotify if im not mistaken. Just search for moog or mcm
its 2020 and yall are still doing cheryl jokes? 11/10 love it
Aha ha ha.
I like when you add in a tow to help as well, shows very big determination.
Isaac talking technical
Moog: dOeS iT skId
15:39 hello Cheryl 😉
I caught that one, too! :-D
i saw something pop up for a second and went back to see hi Cheryl haha
Coincidence that Moog had just said "old vag"...? I think not.
This is going to end up like Skid Factory having those little details whenever Alan says "Old Cock." **
**Not a VW aficionado
14:15 need a hand? don't have one?
the mystery foot is here for you.
Isaac needs to make more appearances! Loved it. I honestly prefer the episodes where it's just a couple of fellas passionately getting stuck in to each other's automobiles. The marty-moog banter can get old but this is educational entertainment.
It’s a long time since I worked on a Weber carburettor almost 35 years (OMG how am I still alive? ) but I have never forgotten the sense of accomplishment in stripping and rebuilding AND the utter joy when it actually works again afterwards! Nice to see a man who knows his stuff just getting it done, no mean feat - kudos bro!
Isaac: goes on crazy rant about engine
moog: will it do a skid?"
10:50
I lost my shit to that comment 🤣🤣
Funny how he sounds like scotty from haltech he s like him but with vw 😅
Nerds gonna nerd
I had the exact same thought! Glad I wasnt the only one to notice it!
Isaac is on it, he looks like a perfectionist, great vibe about him. The Moog Bug’s going to be a little space rocket at this rate. Cool!
Isaac really knows his stuff. Great vid guys
15:35 hi Cheryl 😂😂😂😂
So relieved you found someone who appreciated the work and cost put into that engine.
The music that starts when moog is replacing the fuel system is absolutely amazing. So fitting for the moon buggy!
Pure mechanical engineering in that engine... it's amazing
I mean, you just have to feature electric space wizard somewhere along this series cuz moon buggy, space, stuff like that.
The sand has special properties to polish the intake on the way through 🦄🦄
They mentioned the heads were 'ported'.
There is a process called " Extrude Hone " that pushes an abrasive mixed with putty through ports.
@@bobroberts2371 best way to port and polish large cast manifolds.
Does wonders for the ring pack too 🤣
Is that like when you eat too many peanuts?
Man that jungle tune at about 8:00 was smooth as fuck.
Love the tunes, love the car, love the passion. Isaac seems like a ripper of a bloke.
Love a good Weber IDA setup! Such good induction noise!
Just a quick note at how beautiful some of the sequences in this was shot.
Thanks mate. We try out best!
The car was built by evolution custom industries you can see the whole build on their website
just went and watch the moon bug vid, damn that thing looks fast, not sure if fast enough to catch an mr2 but definitely fast
Was wondering why he hadn't looked into the original builders to contact them. Thing like this would be easy to find and sure enough it obviously was.
They are probably wondering why there is a sudden spike in traffic to their moonbuggy page.
www.evolutioncustomindustries.com/moonbuggy.html
Still in business ?? I think not
@@kruleworld Thanks for the link. Fun little video as well. Didn't expect the "AweMe / Man at arms reveal" music though
I love a good Carby rebuild. The intricacy is astounding .
8:03 The Ghost is back - The Tool Trolley
Great attention to detail 👏🏽👏🏽😂
That has to be staged,
8:03 moving cart....more ghost stuff again.
Followthelemming obviously it wasn’t related Yaris Hilton, weird actually
Missed that till i saw your comment .. thanking you brother
Within reach of cameraman.
Also look at 15:57 upward motion from Isaac. What was that..
Rob S looked like dust
As someone who has rebuilt alot of Carburetors over the years get yourself a cheap ultra Sonic cleaner you won't be disappointed they work amazing
Good suggestion!
Yeah same here Its great for parts cleaning but I don't think its much use to moog just because he does a carbi build once a year wont get much use so it won't earn his money back on the new gizmo
DatBoiOrly You know, you can use an ultrasonic cleaner on more than just a carburetor.
Work pretty good for injectors too
Yep, bought one for 150 bucks on Amazon - best decision I've made especially for this restauration - it's a god send.
I love guest appearances. As specially people with talent and involved with music production
Music selection was killer!! Classic MCM sounds and even some acid thrown in? What a time to be alive
"Hi Cheryl" 😂 Cheeky! Man, I LOVE that you guys are musicians and worked in recording studios before this! 🤘🏻
I remember learning about venturis when I was a kid, thanks for making me feel old.
Zombie, I'm 63 and have rebuilt as Moog says "carbies"...lol. It takes skill (which I lacked, but got help...lol).
@@MrJoebiz24 yeah, my dad helped me rebuild my first mikuni "carbie" off a dirt bike. Learning about primary and secondaries. When everything was apart spread out over some paper towels I remembered thinking "there's no way in hell this thing is going to run if I try and put it back together myself"
Loved that ambient DnB song, absolute tune! Issac is a genius of the intricate arts! And can't wait till next week to see the moon buggy do some skids
I Just love these old school engines. Great to see a young man into all these things. He needs to get his own channel repairing carburetors.
funny how Carbs are now complicated and FI is simple, get a 76 bug with the FIand no electric tools to figure it out.....not fun in the beginning but educational none the less
14:14 we just gonna let the random foot slide then?
Mighty car memes
How the hell did I not see that until I went back to 14:14?!!!
PAGE UP PAGE UP
Was wondering if anyone else picked up on that
"The goal for today is to make it start." ....... Why do I fall for this every damn time?
Isaac is amazing. Young guy into carbs and dub dubs. Brilliant!
that guy looks so exited, even got his favorite bettle shirt 😄
Air cooled engine. You fools, there is no air on the moon!
El Casho there is but no oxygen. Can be cooled by air still.
@@adamesham9800 wft dude no. There is literally no atmosphere on the moon
@@adamesham9800 wat
@@eikuz its cold there anyway, and the fans can push the heat away or not?
@@JimMcBeam its only cold when you are not in the sun, but you really don't need to worry about overheating an engine that won't run
"We're probably targeting that upper range of 140 hp, 100 kw..."
"At the wheels."
"No."
Moog immediately displays his "ha-ha, oh shit, wtf am I gonna do?" grin
@ChrisHallett83 NAAAAAAAA! as a VW drag racer my bet is if this thing has a 2110cc motor thats PLENTY to beat on a boat of a mr2 think weight per hp......
NOS
@@11secghia I wouldn't have thought the MR2 is going to remain totally standard. Getting 300bhp+ from a 3S-GTE isn't hard, and much more is possible with suitable tuning. The 3S-GTE in the Pikes Peak Tacoma made around 800bhp.
That thing has 160HP and weights 655kg. Marty already lost. It's a bored out vw, it WILL start. Also, it was really well made.

I love when they use break beats in their music. Drum and Bass is the shit and so is Mighty Car Mods ❤️
They are so good I moved from England to their country

@@yuricorrea2491 Good info in those links man, I wonder if it still has the blue underglow!!
@@yuricorrea2491 Great info man. I'm not sure it's going to be enough to chop Mr Poo though. The Moog Buggy engine is very likely at it's limits without some major work, while Mr Poo has plenty of room to extract extra power. All Marty needs to do is bump up the boost, and either upgrade the intercooler, or fit a cheeky water/meth injection system.
@@yuricorrea2491/videos That's best case scenario. You're still talking about a 40-year old air-cooled boxer with carburetors.
The 3S-GTE can easily and reliably make 300+ HP with stock internals.
Y'all gotta start putting more in these build vids. Like I love seeing a carb get rebuilt, but damn... The whole video?
Isaac seems like a very interesting guy. I’m someone who has to know how everything works, especially super small details. Carbys like this are way beyond my skills but I’d love to learn one day. I remember spending many hours playing around with the adjustments on the carby of my mate’s motorised esky, then my own. Always tried it on his first, just in case I buggered it up!
This guy is my spirit animal. I love tiny detailed stuff like that too.
Mcm: "It's engineered!"
Also mcm: "Wonder what size engine it has."
arrrgh, moog hammering on that cast ally carb body :o ive done that before with not so great results 🤦♂️ loving this ep, Isaac is a clear enthusiast .✔
I like that there are young guys that know about old things.
Isac to the crew! Alsop cant wait to see this buggy skidding around. Cheers!
"Brake and parts cleaner", looks under shop bench where a 2 gallon can with basket of carb cleaner sits. Yeah, I'm that old! I remember rebuilding and altering more than a few of those carbs (Rochester, Carter, Holley, Weber, and Solex). Bucket still good for small engine carbs.
All us old guy had one of those in the garage. Usually used WAY to many times.
I used to love stripping down my old Weber carbs. A couple of 48IDA carbs on different rotaries and 45 DCOE on Cooper S. Experimenting with different idle jets, main jets, air corrector jets and emulsion tubes, all part of the fun growing up in the 70's! A great design carburetor.
Isaac is a legend. seems like a cool guy. lucky to have him on your side. I'm getting excited 🐒
That liquid drum and bass tracks tho 🥰
Sorry Moog, I’m team Marty/team MR2 this contest. That said been playing your music like crazy! Wish the shop had a physical box set!
If i ever had a space ship, and needed 2 crew mates, it would be you guys! we'd travel space and turbo any ship and bring JDM goodness to the masses of the universe !
Isaac is one cool dude! Looks like he can tune anything.
Finally, I can fix my one-off Moon Buggy.
should have bought a supra then, they've never been done on youtube, especially the last 12 months and you can do something different

I always clean fuel filters with two hands and a foot.
10:31 the best part of the carb theory starts, and you can see the Moog is all in it after 15 seconds.
You can tell he was expecting a clapped out slapped together stock rocker, and is pleasantly surprised to be working on a complete well-built engine. His face lit up when they got the throttle bodies apart haha
But will Moog be releasing the sick DNB track at 8:04?
It's so good, just want to cruise around with that banger going
Moog, please see this. It’s so good 😭👌🏼
1994 old school vibes lol
+1 on this one. It's awesome! :D
The bit that starts at 8:26 just has summer evening cruising tune written ALL OVER IT !
Me, 14 minutes into video: “How did all that sand get in there? OH, RIGHT!” Dune buggies...
I hope they plan on flushing out the fuel tank too, I am sure a child could build a castle with the sand in the tank
getting sand in your VAG is never a pleasant experience
I know it's tv and everything but they know exactly what this car is and exactly what it was used for. Just Google lynx Apollo moon buggy and their are plenty of vids and news articles about its development. There are vids of it thrashing around the dunes
Moon dust. Not sand.
Nah, it's moon dust.
A new MCM star is born. More Isaac please.
Awesome project! The carbs bring back memories of a dude tapping on his mustang II's quadrajunk with what he called his "ford wrench" (hammer) to get it to start. I had several cars pre-fuel injection, then bought one TBI 350 and the difference was amazing. Now owning a 2.0T just shows the progress even more.
Fingers crossed you still have good compression. That was a lot of sand.
Yo isaac is one cool guy , would love to see more of him on mcm 👌🤙
Jamie I call paid comment
Haha I wish dude!!!
Been waiting for this one....
Awesome guest guys. He obviously loves what he does 👍
Great Vid guys, really enjoying this series. Love to learn stuff about cars I've never worked on. Cheers.

Yup. Scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else noticed too
He was talking about "the old VAG", ofc Cheryl popped up.
I totally missed that! that's just so good.
Being a U.S. Carburetor expert (Holley, Carter, Rochester, Autolite mainly), I appreciate Isaac's work. One day, I'll learn Webers, SUs, and maybe older Japanese Carbs - if I'm feeling INSANE!!
7:53 - Gots to love a slow Amen intro - Such a great track guys, thanks for the continued musical gold.
Is that a song I can find?
@@SubliminalFilmandPhotography hey, I've not checked the MCM web shop, not sure if it's a track they've released (if it is I'll be grabbing it), but for info on the Amen break, watch "Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop" on UA-cam
