@@blu3dreaming996 you can get the servicing products it’ll cost around 50 bucks for the new oil filter, plug, the air engine filter, clean air filter, the oil it self lol
Learn as much as you can now, it’ll make it much easier later, I wish I had learned more before I turned 16, I’m 19 now but definitely went through that ricer phase cuz I genuinely didn’t know any better lmao
I have a subaru r sport n/a . Didn't realise when I first disconnected the battery for its first service that it relearns after a few miles or just let it run. Thought I'd done something wrong, not very good with car's, thank God for UA-cam lol.
Highschool car builds are the best, working your ass off for that next part, whatever it may be is so rewarding when its finally accomplished. As much as I would love to slap 30 different things on my car in one day, I prefer it much better having to work for the parts and build from the ground up over the years. Anyways, I love the way you've done up this BRZ, looks sick!
I’ll be the college student with a modded car that’s unfinished. I think I’m between the 240sx or an Integra type R. Rn 240 is pulling cause it’s RWD but the integra seems more common and is a bit younger looking at a 2001 likely. If I can still find parts for my 03 Altima than I can find parts for an 01 integra
"This is about a days worth of work" Ahh to be in a place that everything isn't completely rusted to crap. That's about five days, four busted bolts, three PB Blaster cans, two busted knuckles, and a lifetime of regret worth of work for anything older than a year here.
Based on the comments and the name, as someone who lived in Reno for 15 years, I know what you mean. Now I'm in Florida, where the paint bakes off and I have to clean my battery terminals every month or so.
That's the biggest thing I notice being from the UK. The MR2 was the closest thing I saw to what it's like to work on cars here. Everything is rusted and changing anything can easily result in snapped or rounded bolts.
Definitely agree. Gotta love exhaust bolts that have literally become one with the flanges due to corrosion. Either have to drill or melt them out of there. And that's a fairly easy scenario. Recently it took me 1 hour do do the front brakes and another month to do the rears as the calipers were all rusted and had to order new ones.
Yep, $700 for a cat-back for my 2019 Elantra GT NLine Turbo, and $1100 for downpipe plus a full custom exhaust system... Oh, and $350 for a custom K&N intake system. Finally $650 for a tune that provides an extra 50hp, and 50torque... Add in a downpipe, which is close to $650...yeah it's expensive but it's fun! And my dealer is fine with mods, so I still got the warranty :)
@@antonioakiki3716 Yep that the biggest difference any mod yet has made on my car...it now burns through tires throughout 1st and second gears, it completely changes everything. Plus with my Cat-Back system, I now have nice pops and bangs when downshifting and revving the engine. The only downside is the aftermarket for my car isn't that great so parts are rather expensive. But I love my Elantra GT N line, it looks sleek in black, and with the chrome-tipped exhaust and nice 18" custom black wheels, it looks really nice.
@@tincangarage5616 Yeah ikr? Hopefully, the aftermarket will pick up soon on our cars. I love mine, but it's so expensive to modify, but it's well worth it in the end.

"It's your car. Do what YOU want." Can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I know I'm not building my car the "cheap and easy way" but I'm building it the way I want and I want a car that will last. Yet for some reason whenever I tell people my game plan they always give me this look like I'm insane. I'm not building the car for the next guy or to make money from it and I don't want to have to rebuild the engine every 2 years. I'm building it to give me good times for decades to come with just general regular maintenance.

This was legit the best video I’ve seen for people wanting to try home modding , these guys make you want to watch more because they are so down to earth and explain things brilliant
I love the attitude of you gent's. Your wittyness is unparalleled, and how you explain actual facts with the way you deliver your jokes is so smooth plus the seamless editing, magnificent. I'm proud to be a subscriber. I had heard you guys split up recently I sincerely hope not because you guys seem like the best of friends. Please keep educating us viewers with your wisdom.
Man this takes me back. I love and missed this style from the earlier years. It makes me more enthused to pickup a wrench again. It's been half a year and I don't know why I can't do it anymore. But it does help some to see the two guys who started this channel with this video again, whom I'd call brothers. The help I've had and journey gone has been so much better because of it. I may not be able to say it's been because of this a life was saved or not. I can say I am nowhere near as hardened to life as I could have been, and have a vicarious experience of a hobby when going to and trying to meet new people once a month was too much out of my budget. I miss my manual everyday of the week and hope I can get back to repairing. Sometimes it's hard to even know what's ailing.
Just want to say as a first time viewer, this was a really well produced video. The pace of the presentation, the choice of mods, the actual installation, decent tunes for the times you weren't talking - this was just excellent. I might be a bit biased as I actually own a BRZ and have been considering some of the mods you chose to do, but I think the advice was generic enough to fit most any car. Well done lads.
Its amazing how far you've come! It´s great seeing your old footage on the new videos. I remember perfectly the day I found your channel I was in high school, just had gotten my first car and spent the whole night binge watching your videos figuring ways to tune my Renault Clio for cheap. Congratulations obviously your budget has increased but your channel maintains the same essence, and that's because of you guys. You both are awesome.
I just turned 18 last month and never really been into cars like modding or even messing with car parts, but now I want to learn and hopefully mod my own car
@@negativeindustrial "Working hard" is a meme, wages are stagnant, cost of living keep going up, jobs disappear. People can't afford superfluous things like modifying cars anymore. Even look at the new cars, declining sales for 25 consecutive months.

At first it looks like its poking out but a couple of minutes in into the suspension mod that looks okay probably because it might be steering to the left abit previously
@@JacobHolmes747 Not even close, there are several rules. You can't have the wheels outside the body, and you must not be able to see any part of the wheel when viewed from above, so you can't stance the hell out of it just to get the top of the wheel flush. You can have big flares to allower wider wheels and I don't think they mention a limit on the size of them. But there's a pretty serious limitation on width and offset from only being able to widen the track by 25mm, measured from the centre of the rim, meaning you can only decrease the offset by 12.5mm. You can have wider rims, but with only 12mm lower offset, you'll be hitting the inside of the car before you can get too wide. Can't use spacers. Can't increase the overall diameter of the tire by more than 15mm. Tires can't be more than 30% wider than manufacturer's widest for the car. Can't have the tire scrubbing on anything at any point, while 'fully laden' and going over speed bumps and driveways. I think basically all stock cars would fail that. There's minimum tire widths for rim widths, basically square sidewall is the minimum. Then there's another dozen or more rules for suspension.
EDITING : on point ! Audio : perfect. Content : awesome !!! Too good to be free !!! Please keep it like that 4 ever ( just bought some Michelin pilots for my ride ) you guys rock !
I just got a Chrysler 200 s for my first car at 16 and I see all these modded 200s that are just insane and it makes me want to take my car to its max potential but I don’t know much about cars so hopefully this video gets me started
I'd say better safe than sorry, because if I'm in a 5k car with 25k worth of mods, and I don't tell the insurance company about it, if I get in an accident they're only gonna cover the 5k car, not the 25k worth of mods.
@@kevink397 lool you'd never get the money back regardless, unless you part it out. Putting more money doesn't always mean its worth more. Especially after and accident
Depending on the insurer, you can negotiate an agreed value that covers the cost of the mods (generally not including consumables like tyres). The greater the agreed value the more your insurance costs though and they might have upper value limits.
@@nathanreimer1296 Pro tip: your insurance doesn't care. Value is a number plugged into an algorithm that determines your premium. "Oh, you say you car is worth 10k more than we think it is? K, I guess you like paying more each month for insurance then lol" is basically the only determining factor. Seriously, unless you make a claim immediately after acquiring a new policy, they don't even look your way twice. Try to get cheap insurance, you'll get basically nothing if you have an accident. Try to plan for "covering ALL my costs!" if you get into an accident? you'll pay out the ass each month. It's up to you to approximate your cars worth. They don't care. They just plug the numbers.
Heard lots of good and bad things about re003's on BRZ's. A tyre centre mechanic here in Australia told me that the cars are just too light for them to warm up and generate the grip you'd expect from a re003 but the Michelins are an all-round favourite and suits this car well.
@@Raph2D I've got RE003s on my 2009 Lancer, work great. I've used them for about 2 years now and still got loads of grip, more than my car will ever need. I've also been on 2 interstate road trips totalling some 20,000km with them on all sorts of roads including a little bit of dirt, Never an issue, will be getting them again when they are needed.
They are the facelift model taillights. If you want the BRZ concept lights look at the Tom's V1 taillights. I have them on mine. 86speed.com/toms-led-tail-light-usdm-spec-dot-approved-scion-fr-s-subaru-brz-red-tm-81500-tzn61
Classy set of mods, the result looks sweet. My brother had an AE86 with a Cosworth Supercharger fitted (along with wider wheels and boots to get the power down), definitely made it into the car it was supposed to be.
I'm only 15 years old but my dad wants me to learn this stuff because he wants me to help modify his e36. I've been in love with cars since I first saw one. Something about them makes them so appealing and cool. I eventually want to have my own Impreza that I can mod. The thought of upgrading cars is another thing I love. It's something I see my dad doing when he's not at the office working from early morning to late at night. He's a very kind guy who introduced me to all the different cars you could think of, He loves cars and probably will for the rest of his life.
2 yrs later and this video is still relevant lol I've been a gear head for years but am finally getting a car that I can modify, and it's actually a 2016 brz lol can't wait to do a transformation video of it!
I've been turning wrenches for about 15 years now, still an enjoyable video. Two things come to mind: -It's not absolutely necessary that you mod a car. If you enjoy it as is, that's perfectly ok too! I have spent a lot over the years on mods that I ended up regretting, because I thought they would be "cool" or improve the car somehow. Not always the case, unfortunately. -Wasn't mentioned in the video, but when jacking up the car, always be sure the car can be raised from the point you're choosing. I can easily see a beginner jacking up their car from the oil pan...
Anyone who says a car is "perfect as it is from factory and shouldn't be modified" isn't a "car person". Those are the people who see a car/SUV/truck as a tool to get from point A to B. Nothing wrong with that because everyone is entitled to their opinion and should do what works for them. I've owned 15 cars and performed SOME kind of modification on every one.
I may buy that model myself. Only thing better is PS2s, yet those wear quickly and aren't good in the rain. So overall PS 4 and PS4s a good choice. In the USA PS4 not available in the size they chose OR stock Brz size tires either.
Had my Chevy cobalt 2010 since 2017 and It’s still running nicely i just would love to finally put my own personal touches on it and make it mine after all this time

"First jack up your car"
Im so happy
I just got my 370z Nismo, and this was super helpful , I've never felt more broadly educated about a wide range of stuff. Thanks my guys
I’m saving this video for when I buy my first car 🙂
heres a tip: first learn to drive, be comfortable with your new car and after you saved up some money -> do some mods.. Believe me you'll thank me ;) Driving a car aint cheap. I

ya im getting my first car in less than a month, a used 2005 civic with 300k km. I definitely want to go over the basic service stuff and then I'll do some minor mods later down the line
@@ikeworkman4449 of course its a civic, aint judging what ever makes you happy!
@@dieter2889 haha I kind of wanna rice it out :) Straight pipe, painted rims, spoiler and countless stickers on the window and back bumper
This was legit the best video I’ve seen for people wanting to try home modding , these guys make you want to watch more because they are so down to earth and explain things brilliant
2:33 "the first step is to jack up your car and make sure it is secured on some jack stands" **Big jack stands recall intensifies**

I love the attitude of you gent's. Your wittyness is unparalleled, and how you explain actual facts with the way you deliver your jokes is so smooth plus the seamless editing, magnificent. I'm proud to be a subscriber. I had heard you guys split up recently I sincerely hope not because you guys seem like the best of friends. Please keep educating us viewers with your wisdom.
That feeling when guys from MCM do in 30 mins all the mods i'm trying to do in a year 😄😄🤦♂️
That moment when the Mods MCM does in one Video is worth more money than your whole car.
Ask them to borrow some editing magic, makes the whole process much easier...
I feel your pain
I love how you started with the OG tunes then ramped up to the recent stuff through the vid. You guys are ace
Man this takes me back. I love and missed this style from the earlier years. It makes me more enthused to pickup a wrench again. It's been half a year and I don't know why I can't do it anymore. But it does help some to see the two guys who started this channel with this video again, whom I'd call brothers. The help I've had and journey gone has been so much better because of it. I may not be able to say it's been because of this a life was saved or not. I can say I am nowhere near as hardened to life as I could have been, and have a vicarious experience of a hobby when going to and trying to meet new people once a month was too much out of my budget. I miss my manual everyday of the week and hope I can get back to repairing. Sometimes it's hard to even know what's ailing.
Just want to say as a first time viewer, this was a really well produced video. The pace of the presentation, the choice of mods, the actual installation, decent tunes for the times you weren't talking - this was just excellent. I might be a bit biased as I actually own a BRZ and have been considering some of the mods you chose to do, but I think the advice was generic enough to fit most any car. Well done lads.
8:33 here we go Bridgestone Potenza RE003's... "In this case we've got a Michelin pilot sport 4"... wait what?!?
Considering all the other sponsored parts on this, I'm willing to bet those tires are too. I'm upset too, I'm all about Bridgestone
it's good to see them getting it right!
There a new sponsor it’s on there website
@@octane613 Pilot Sport 4 s > Potenzas
In the long run, the pilot sports 4 maintain their performance better.
Its amazing how far you've come! It´s great seeing your old footage on the new videos. I remember perfectly the day I found your channel I was in high school, just had gotten my first car and spent the whole night binge watching your videos figuring ways to tune my Renault Clio for cheap. Congratulations obviously your budget has increased but your channel maintains the same essence, and that's because of you guys. You both are awesome.
I just turned 18 last month and never really been into cars like modding or even messing with car parts, but now I want to learn and hopefully mod my own car
Them: Sky is the limit!
Me: My wallet is the limit lol
true that mate, I'd love to replace the wheels and tyres on my car, but, cost.....hmmm
Work harder
Or your Wife.

@@negativeindustrial "Working hard" is a meme, wages are stagnant, cost of living keep going up, jobs disappear. People can't afford superfluous things like modifying cars anymore. Even look at the new cars, declining sales for 25 consecutive months.
I really love how you're using your older videos on this, that takes anyone on a trip down the memory lane and shows how things hasn't change over the time, MCM will always be MCM! 😁
The older music in this episode is a trip down memory lane, loved it 🤘
Ive been watching you when I was 17. Working on my 90s cars ( Civics, acuras, chevrelet s10, mazda protege, etc ) . Still watching today at 30s old! Great content as always! Thanks for the last 13 years! Thanks for giving me ideas yet again with my new blue BRZ 2020!
"I mean I could jam it in there..."
"Nothing good cames out of that"

UNLESS both parties consent to it.Then you can even jam it up the ears. Please, jam responsibly. 👌🏻😊
I never seen a full tutorial video on modify a car on youtube. Damn that was full knowledge right there
Should've told em to put a little layer of oil on the seal for the new filter before putting it on!
Also "you'll need an oil removal tool" as opposed to an oil filter removal tool. Suppose we can cut them some slack. It's not as if they're mechanics.

They used a lot of cool, apropos music in this episode.

"offset looks great"
i bet the cops have something different to say with that much poke haha
Had similar offset wheel for about 4 years now and cops havent said anything about it
Yeah straight up that's a massive defect... tyres cannot protrude from the body which is why people get ebay flares...
At first it looks like its poking out but a couple of minutes in into the suspension mod that looks okay probably because it might be steering to the left abit previously
As Project Binky would say "It's going past taking the piss"..
@@JacobHolmes747 Not even close, there are several rules. You can't have the wheels outside the body, and you must not be able to see any part of the wheel when viewed from above, so you can't stance the hell out of it just to get the top of the wheel flush. You can have big flares to allower wider wheels and I don't think they mention a limit on the size of them. But there's a pretty serious limitation on width and offset from only being able to widen the track by 25mm, measured from the centre of the rim, meaning you can only decrease the offset by 12.5mm. You can have wider rims, but with only 12mm lower offset, you'll be hitting the inside of the car before you can get too wide. Can't use spacers. Can't increase the overall diameter of the tire by more than 15mm. Tires can't be more than 30% wider than manufacturer's widest for the car. Can't have the tire scrubbing on anything at any point, while 'fully laden' and going over speed bumps and driveways. I think basically all stock cars would fail that. There's minimum tire widths for rim widths, basically square sidewall is the minimum. Then there's another dozen or more rules for suspension.
EDITING : on point ! Audio : perfect. Content : awesome !!! Too good to be free !!! Please keep it like that 4 ever ( just bought some Michelin pilots for my ride ) you guys rock !
I just got a Chrysler 200 s for my first car at 16 and I see all these modded 200s that are just insane and it makes me want to take my car to its max potential but I don’t know much about cars so hopefully this video gets me started
I’m happy y’all actually showed us how to install everything
"I'm sure I could jam it in there." "Nothing good ever comes from doing that." Man, where were you guys when i was 16 and struggling?!?!?
They were probably here. They've been making dirty ass jokes for 10 years or so. Lol.
They were there. They've always been there.
They were holding you from behind, silly.
I prefer a more "don't ask, don't tell" approach when it comes to talking about car mods to my auto insurance :P
I'd say better safe than sorry, because if I'm in a 5k car with 25k worth of mods, and I don't tell the insurance company about it, if I get in an accident they're only gonna cover the 5k car, not the 25k worth of mods.
@@kevink397 lool you'd never get the money back regardless, unless you part it out. Putting more money doesn't always mean its worth more. Especially after and accident
Depending on the insurer, you can negotiate an agreed value that covers the cost of the mods (generally not including consumables like tyres). The greater the agreed value the more your insurance costs though and they might have upper value limits.
@@nathanreimer1296 Pro tip: your insurance doesn't care. Value is a number plugged into an algorithm that determines your premium. "Oh, you say you car is worth 10k more than we think it is? K, I guess you like paying more each month for insurance then lol" is basically the only determining factor.
Seriously, unless you make a claim immediately after acquiring a new policy, they don't even look your way twice. Try to get cheap insurance, you'll get basically nothing if you have an accident. Try to plan for "covering ALL my costs!" if you get into an accident? you'll pay out the ass each month. It's up to you to approximate your cars worth. They don't care. They just plug the numbers.
@@OvoJeGovno so do we tell insurance if we mod or dont tell them?
This is a really, really informative video. You guys did a great video and there's so much chemistry between both of you!
“Offset looks great”
As the camera pans round and reveals the fronts stick out the side of the arches a good 10mm 😂
dazgreen lol saw that too, would be surprised if the tyres don’t rub sometimes.
😂😂
Funny how they talk about how important it is to get wheels that fit right and then order ones with the wrong offset 😂
Yeah the wheel fitment is absolute garbage along with the stretched tires.
Great if you like mud on the sides of your car after every puddle driven through...
"In this episode of Mighty Car Mods, we take you on a nostalgia trip"

First time in a long time they havent used re003 tyres :O
They were sponsored by Bridgestone weren't they, but those are Michelin so might have changed sponsor
@@ollierobo3681 Yeah, Bridgestone have been a sponsor for a long time.
Heard lots of good and bad things about re003's on BRZ's. A tyre centre mechanic here in Australia told me that the cars are just too light for them to warm up and generate the grip you'd expect from a re003 but the Michelins are an all-round favourite and suits this car well.
@@Raph2D I've got RE003s on my 2009 Lancer, work great. I've used them for about 2 years now and still got loads of grip, more than my car will ever need. I've also been on 2 interstate road trips totalling some 20,000km with them on all sorts of roads including a little bit of dirt, Never an issue, will be getting them again when they are needed.
Looking at their website they are now sponsored by Michelin instead of Bridgestone
these guys did what took me a year in a day lol, thanks for the video!! That car looks really clean
I learned something today. Definitely doing the tires and the exhaust, if nothing else.
21:35 Yes! He's gone with the BRZ Concept taillights! Love those, they're so mad
They look heaps better, too much chrome going on otherwise!
They are the facelift model taillights. If you want the BRZ concept lights look at the Tom's V1 taillights. I have them on mine.

Classy set of mods, the result looks sweet. My brother had an AE86 with a Cosworth Supercharger fitted (along with wider wheels and boots to get the power down), definitely made it into the car it was supposed to be.
2:30 the good ol' MCM montage music
OMG, I used to watch you guys at my teenage JDM stages 15 years ago. It's still fantastic!
Cool vid, thanks guys. Wish there was a bit of footage driving off at the end, I wanted to hear it
Love it boys, inspiring the next generation of mighty modders! And taking all the OG's back to the early MCM days too.
"In this episode, we're gonna show you how to modify your car"
Wait, so what have you been doing all these years?
Think of it as an updated version for the modern generation.
@@KuroRyuu86 The modern generation couldn't even change a tyre.
I'm only 15 years old but my dad wants me to learn this stuff because he wants me to help modify his e36. I've been in love with cars since I first saw one. Something about them makes them so appealing and cool. I eventually want to have my own Impreza that I can mod. The thought of upgrading cars is another thing I love. It's something I see my dad doing when he's not at the office working from early morning to late at night. He's a very kind guy who introduced me to all the different cars you could think of, He loves cars and probably will for the rest of his life.
I started watching you guy since the drive way days. So many memories ❤️
Taking a poo at 7:30 in the morning and a MCM video. Best start to the day ever ?
First mod: Stickers
Second mod: Fart can exhaust
Third mod: E-bay no brand coilovers
You're the reason I can't find a good Honda to save my life. Lol
Can't complain, that makes the car fun. It's better than awful bodykits and wheels like they did in the 2000s

5:45. Mighty Car Mods notification. Well I’m awake now
2 yrs later and this video is still relevant lol I've been a gear head for years but am finally getting a car that I can modify, and it's actually a 2016 brz lol can't wait to do a transformation video of it!
MOOG:"Our last mod is the sound system"
STEERING WHEEL:"AM I A JOKE TO YOU!"
doesn't make sense for a modern car like this that has airbags and buttons controlling the infotaintment system.
"It's your car. Do what you want." 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've been turning wrenches for about 15 years now, still an enjoyable video. Two things come to mind:
-It's not absolutely necessary that you mod a car. If you enjoy it as is, that's perfectly ok too! I have spent a lot over the years on mods that I ended up regretting, because I thought they would be "cool" or improve the car somehow. Not always the case, unfortunately.
-Wasn't mentioned in the video, but when jacking up the car, always be sure the car can be raised from the point you're choosing. I can easily see a beginner jacking up their car from the oil pan...
Anyone who says a car is "perfect as it is from factory and shouldn't be modified" isn't a "car person". Those are the people who see a car/SUV/truck as a tool to get from point A to B. Nothing wrong with that because everyone is entitled to their opinion and should do what works for them. I've owned 15 cars and performed SOME kind of modification on every one.
5:45am upload perfect for wake n bake cheers fellas
First time I see a Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on the show instead of their usual Bridgestone RE003.
Thought so too!
I am guessing that the Bridgestone sponsorship of the channel has come to an end and Michelin has stepped up.
RE003 are a great bang for your buck tyre. I guess we'll know for sure when they do a rim / tyre change on their next car...
I may buy that model myself. Only thing better is PS2s, yet those wear quickly and aren't good in the rain. So overall PS 4 and PS4s a good choice.
In the USA PS4 not available in the size they chose OR stock Brz size tires either.
Had my Chevy cobalt 2010 since 2017 and It’s still running nicely i just would love to finally put my own personal touches on it and make it mine after all this time
17:16 the squirrel in the bottom left middle of the screen lol. Great video
