You guys are one of the very few channels which I look forward to watching long content. Most channels, even if I like them, when I see something this long I groan.
7:56 well it drove on the trailer that's a good sign 40:55 you know if you pull the top half of that post cleaner off it's a brush to clean the terminal. 1:12:26 it's always more fun to go fast in a slow car than slow in a fast car.
金継ぎ should be applied to the pottery things, and this case you should say 鈑金 or 板金 (bankin). It is a Japanese terminology for repairing cosmetic problem of metal sheets. I had two MR2 SW20 NA and Turbo driven 200,000 km total, it's a cheap copy of early era Ferrari but lovely. My friend has driven AW11s for more than 20 years. They are simple and have a natural motorcycle handling taste. SW20 final version has a sport ABS and semi-traction control, without it, it is very difficult at the high speed range.
That last monologue made me miss my S30z. Rust holes all over the floor just repaired with rubber bungs, Radio that doesnt work, no AC, Rock hard suspension with geometry that PULLs towards the potholes, Fuel economy about as thirsty as a modern day LS V8.... BUT, that thing when you drive it, is like nothing else - its so bloody engaging that i can feel the car going over a cigarette butt on the ground, I know exactly which tyre is gripping. The induction sound, with the Triple Mikuni setup, you have to hear it to believe it. You're right on the money - its a sensory experience, these vintage Japanese cars, compared to now, when everything just feels..... clinical.
Actually found you on Odysee. Love the Wheeler Dealers approach, hah. AW11 one of my fav cars of all time. When I got mine the vacuum line into the air intake was literally a tube poked through a silicone coupler with RTV all over it, hahaha. Nice work!
This was a truly great video; I am only slightly biased. In 1979, I bought a used in great shape Fiat X1/9, which is very similar with the mid engine layout AND it had a removable roof. Then I purchased a 1987 Toyota Corolla FX-16 which is basically the hatchback version of the MR-2 with the same 4A-GE 16v engine mounted transversely in the front (conventionally, rather than mid). It had the same suspension and handling, was only slightly heavier, had a full back seat and a roomy hatch and an electric sunroof, and had fixed headlights. (same white paint and rims). I replaced the engine with a Japanese import replacement. In japan they have VERY strict rules and you only can run an engine for like 75K miles, so they R&R them and then ship used ones by the container to the USA where they sell them cheap. It was a great car. I was the 2nd owner and got it in good shape and maintained it well. When I bought it, I purchased the OEM Toyota factory service manual which was dual-use for the MR-2, so besides the mid engine, it was pretty identical, which is indispensable. Good job Winston for the elementary narration for introductory mechanics; well explained. Also I really enjoyed the Toyota Kirobo with a serious attitude; we need more of him or his friends (to keep you guys in line :-) And Matthew, good reflections on the past you convey at the end. Really glad you have taught me so much about China, especially since we are now USC after the election :-O
@32:00, it's an angle grinder, a router is for wood working or the internets. Oh I fricking hate body work but I ended up buying a Miller 180 welder because of it
I think one very good reason that cars were better back then is the rawness and the connection that they give you to the road that newer cars definitely dont have. Especially since were going into the Tesla era these things will definitely keep their value and most likely go up.
Correcting vacuum lines of non stock setup was quite insightful. Good work and excellent video. Passing emissions is critical to driving a vehicle in smog states. Color me impressed. Driving that little MR2 is fun.
What a coincidence. I just crashed my family’s work van. Yesterday was not fun. Never drive tired... The van is weird it wasn’t leaking any fluid but the brakes don’t work and the engine won’t stay running.
jarnoob Could be a bunch of things. I crashed at a pretty high speed. I’m guessing 30 something into a trailer that wasn’t moving. And in a work van that weighs a lot.
Hey Winston, just wanted to let you know that rustoleum clear coat isnt a 2k clear its 2X coverage which many people confuse. 2k clear has a hardener cap you have to puncture and shake in to activate it. 2k aerosol clear is pretty expensive but its definitely worth it
80s-90s JDM cars look totally different to any other car on the road, 2000s+ all cars pretty much all look similar, rounded toyota camry plastic trash, 80s-90s style and charm is where its at.
On a side note with the Dodge Ram; I'm curious about the supposed transmission issues. Have you asked the previous owner about it? Was the transmission fluid changed regularly, did he add stop slip are something to it?
I don't know who owns the guitar amp in the garage, but you are killing me! Spray painting around there without covering it up? You'll ruin the Tolex, clog up the speaker cones, and do all sorts of damage. If you don't like the amp then I will pay for you to ship it to me so I can clean it up and take care of it. You may know cars, but I know music gear. BTW been watching you guys for years. Love your work.
I always enjoy underdog cars and people who fix them, watching "Ronald Finger" repair a beat up Fiero was really fun to watch and so was this. I have a 120-30ish hp Nissan Sentra so I understand how slow but oddly fun low powered cars are and I hope to fix up some beat up econo sport someday.
I recently bought a mk1B MR2 for $1500, wow have prices changed for these cars mine has pristine paint and no body damage as well as leather interior, tee tops, the whole gist
I think that joke went over your head a bit. He mixes the two to refer to "your general auto parts store". But I agree, after a few times it starts to get a bit... well, overused.
Wow great series . First of all whoever sold rwd rear engine mount car to schoolboy isn't right. Im 21 and never owned a car but I always had passion to old cars and I find this channel realy informative. My father own an old lada Niva and he fixes it himself. But as all Soviet cars it's simple as it can be. So I always thought that all other cars is really complicated and It's impossible to fix it without special tools and knowledge. Thank you for your knowledge now it's doesn't look so frightening for me. I was really happy to hear this small beast rev when you were doing 0-60.
Dont KNOW shit absolut cars.. But been addic7ed TO WINSTON content man TRIBUTES from GERMANY u really dont KNOW how therapeutic it is TO see SANE HONEST HUMANS....
Fixing something with gold is like taking a used car and fixing things and upgrading it to make it better than new. Just like your Trans Am after you're done with it you can have the satisfaction of fixing your porcelain with gold.
I hope you guys disposed that battery properly by throwing it in the ocean, its perfectly safe and legal! Who doesn't like safe and legal thrills and also saving the environment by giving the eels the charge they need to live!
One safety suggestion I can offer when dealing with batteries Winston. Make a solution of baking soda and water and put in a sprayer. The solution will neutralize the acid on the terminals.
C-Milk as someone who loves the feeling you described in the end of the video I challenge you to take a drive in a newer MX-5 RF. I think that you'll find as I did it's kind of the best of both worlds.
In 1998, I had one of these as a loaner while a transmission shop worked on my car. It drove OK but absolutely reaked of gas inside so there must have been a leak somewhere.
There are places in California where the cars have bullet holes? I thought California compliant guns were basically castrated so bad they can barely even shoot anymore
I actually forgot you were doing a full hour episode edited together I was just following along with the previous ones, so cool you did that. Not really a massive car guy (I love teslas for cars and motorbikes mostly) but I love your content and makes me interested in things I never knew I could be, keep it up guys. - btw more playboy episodes one time a month is a mistake (regardless of what your wives think) or do a special separate episode patron-only version Id pay for that lol (the old terrible jokes are priceless with your reactions)
Damn you went to Compton!? For Winston, coming from South Africa, he is no doubt familiar with the sites and smells and this must have reminded him of home, but the other guy I can't picture him being comfortable and wanting to call his parents.
I ❤ WD40 as well. Great to help prevent corrosion build-up. However a cup of water with a generous amount of baking soda with a stiff toothbrush is what to use to remove acid crystals.

@@cajer30076 they sold it ages ago
@@vincentas1 :( I didn't see anything in the video about selling it so I was hoping!
I feel like this channel is beginning to find it's true character, love it!
Nice of them to reveal the buy and sell price 👍
Great editing in it too, and we're here way before they hit 1M subs 😁
Thank you for breathing new life into an AW11!
I am currently turning a 2nd Gen MR2 into a track car and V6 swapping it (2GR FE).
Enjoyed this one hour-ish of my time very much. A good complete episode.
I've already watched this separately, so I just ran it and walked away from my computer to give a view. Cheers guys. Love this series!
same here.
Do another MR2 build!
Just think all that stuff you learned doing the first build.
Over an hour of worthless whips?! shit I better get a sixer. Great production quality guys, thanks for the content!
In my opinion the MR2 episodes are the best episodes from this channel.
u guys such a not my usual cup of tea, but i love watching u doing whatever, cuz i like what u stand for and i like how u just being reasonable humans
You should drink in more 'tea' that stands for similar things.
“I don’t think it’s legal to drive without a door!”

WHY IS THIS REPOSTED NOW? THIS IS A OLD VIDEO IM LIKE 99% SURE.
This is all MR2 videos in one video.
They showed the wheels getting resprayed. I'm pretty sure that's new...
7:56 well it drove on the trailer that's a good sign

love this long format content
For a moment I thought I had a Deja-vu
Me too. Actually I still do...
@32:00, it's an angle grinder, a router is for wood working or the internets.
Oh I fricking hate body work but I ended up buying a Miller 180 welder because of it
Great tutorial always a fan of attention to detail. Would love to buy y’all a beer when you come to South Carolina. Stay awesome
Awesome video guys, just like wow! So many memories of the 80's came flodding back thanks to C Milk's epilogue at the end.
With the valve covers off, you can see the varnish inside (burnt orange color). Bad news. Previous owner neglected oil changes.
Loving your videos, they are fun and informative. Thanks for making these, it reminds me of my younger days.
I avoided this channel, bad idea! This is a great channel!
So much better than all these channels that end up doing super cars all day. Keep up the affordable modding as you grow and inevitably get tempted!
The length of this video makes me happy.
I think one very good reason that cars were better back then is the rawness and the connection that they give you to the road that newer cars definitely dont have. Especially since were going into the Tesla era these things will definitely keep their value and most likely go up.
Winston, in case it was not already brought to your attention. Check your local harbor freight stores for inexpensive tools.
Haven't I seen this video already?
Yep, just all the parts in one long video.
YEAH I WAS SASYING THE SAME THING
I'm not a car guy at all, but I enjoyed watching this very much.
I've been watching you both since 2018 and as a car-obsessed man myself, it's awesome to see you create this type of content!
Awesome video! Just watched the first video on this channel. It's amazing to see you guys do such different content than on your china channels.
Correcting vacuum lines of non stock setup was quite insightful. Good work and excellent video. Passing emissions is critical to driving a vehicle in smog states. Color me impressed. Driving that little MR2 is fun.
How come I never heard of this channel even though I watch SerpentZA all the time lol
I got an 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Diesel. It is even in a movie where the kid says he borrowed grandma's car.
What a coincidence. I just crashed my family’s work van. Yesterday was not fun. Never drive tired... The van is weird it wasn’t leaking any fluid but the brakes don’t work and the engine won’t stay running.
brakes not working would make me think a huge vacuum leak, which would disable brake booster. But that should cause the engine to rev up, not stall.

Great production as always!
Wasn't this your first upload? Why did you reupload it?

Fantastic work guys, I’m really impressed with your perseverance!
I used to own a Super Charged Mk1 Mr2, so enjoyed this vid.
Not sure I've ever heard of a vehicle referred to as a 'whip' outside the Pimp My Ride era back in the day
Its a well known slang phrase that has been around for pretty much as long as cars have. Its a good thing to broaden your horizons.
You should add Applaud to the channel so we can support that way.
I just got to the point where you hit yourself in the head with the tool and stuck in the cartoon sound effects and I promptly burst out laughing.
Nice job boys! she looks nice!

the Testing place was telling you the exact loophole to fix the issue which they required to pass
You can try lead loading to fix some of the smaller rust issues if not better get good with a welder :D
Winston deserves a WD-40 sponsorship at this point.
