I have a JDM black hardtop MR2 Turbo just like this one, it's great, I definitely recommend one! I never had it snap oversteer on me by the way, but I run wider tyres in the rear than the front though, so I think that helps! :)
The mid-engine setup is amazing! I own an MG TF 160 that has the same layout but weighs less I think. Having that raspy engine screaming half a meter behind your ears is just marvelous! It outmaneuveres Miatas all day long and because of the rev happy N/A 160 HP 1.8L, big 4-pot AP Racing brakes and low weight it'll give a GTI a run for its money on a twisty backroad.

You'll never find a Turbo for anywhere near that much, very nice models reaching 20k$ easily at auction. JDM Rev3-4-5 turbo like this one are very expensive too as they have the best engine (245hp when USDM ones made just under 200...).
Theres literally 4 different toobers that are doing mr2’s.. one did v6 with bolt ons as a give a way, kyles, another one with k swap but one turbo and one with stock motor turbo and internals with suspension ran as a drift car.. a little odd that havent seen an mr2 for while then all the sudden popular channels do mr2’s all at once..
Big D Fitness Yeah, with a much smaller engine and one less turbo. The same engine that Supra used in the JGTC. Hopefully people (MCM included) will learn a lot about the SW20, now.
9:00 *used to be cheap in the US, these have gotten pricey over the last 3 years. Now people want 5k for a rust bucket non-op status turbo with 200k+ miles
same deal in the UK mostly, rough ones still rarely show up for cheap (like 2k) but really you're looking at 5K(10k AU/ 6k US) for a decent one. and the w20s are now starting to be consistently as or more expensive than the w30s.

Next Episode: Moog brings back Tay-Tay and drives it in reverse to make it "rear-engined"
Probably imported a Honda beat and wants to engine swap it with a 1.8litre or something :D
Marty: you can't trust people that like Toyota's
Me: removes MCM stickers from my Hilux.
Let's be honest here, the only Toyota guys you can atually trust are the Hilux ones.
@@thatfunnykekguy6377 ✌️
But but but my 84 corolla dx is an awesome car!
Guess I'll have to do the same with my 4runner/surf 😒
@@FilibieI don't trust you or your Corolla. Might as well be a Prius
I’ve been waiting for a mr2 build for forever on this channel!!
Fkn hell, now that you've shed light on these, the prices just went up. 🤦🏼♂️
LMAO MR2's were not obscure before today
Yeah i was thinking to myself not long back how i was happy they hadn't done one because I've wanted one for a while and i don't need the competition
@@matthewmcnamee5018 that's what I'm getting at hey! Just narrows the chances of snapping one up now.
I had mr2 for 7 years as my daily car and it was the best car I've had,my wife cried when I sold it,cause I could'nt afford to restore it... I miss it ever since,this episode brougt back some good memories
Wow, that's sad.
Luckily those are super cheap to restore in my country. I mean Toyota used same parts from Corolla, engine might be also replaced from Caldina and other less rare cars.
“I don’t like these so don’t ask” I’m dead lmao
I'm pretty sure they have had this car since 2017 because I remember watching a Unicorn Circuit ep where they said they bought one.
Would make sense. Wouldn't get dust like that from a couple months
@@joe-x3g it is australia, and they did have some issues with fire recently
... and Marty mentioned that he stored the MR2 inside ...
The whole beginning, I was going "Please let it be an MR2, please let it be an MR2, please let it be an MR2." Then when I saw it I started screaming yessssss
1:13 I was about to say, I'd be very surprised if one of you didn't get an mr2.
I imagine a boxster is next on the list.
roguedogx exactly what I was thinking
good call
@@smeegain3657 admitted I was about as wrong as it it possible to be.
I love the mr2 🤗
I have my Mr2 Turbo gen3 now for 16 years and will never sell it.
Once you know how to drive it, you will love it 😉
Moog: it has to be rear engine.
Me: MR2
Marty: *rolls in the MR2*
Me: YES!
MR2 is mid-engined...
: *Mr2 has joined the server*
: *Snapoversteer has joined the server*
I have a black MR2 too! This will be a fun series!
Marty: "dirt cheap in america"
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Mate, not only are they virtually non-exsistant, they go for insane prices due to the rice tax. Last one I saw in decent condition was $15k USD. You got that thing for a steal.
HellishINC I have seen dozens of mr2’s for sale in $5,000 dollar range. Idk when the last time you looked was but they aren’t that rare or that expensive.
@@adriancalugar3990 uhhh where here on the east coast they gone. I just looked and found two for $8900
I was coming here to make the same comment, I live near the west coast and was looking at them last year, finding a RHD MR2 GT, the cheapest one in good shape was just under $12K
@@greasemonkeyadventurer there definitely a few under the 5000 range you aren't looking hard enough
@@lenientorange1113 SW20 price range is WIDE... The massively under powered NA USDM (130hp) can be had for 5k$... You'll never find a Turbo for anywhere near that much, very nice models reaching 20k$ easily at auction. JDM Rev3-4-5 turbo like this one are very expensive too as they have the best engine (245hp when USDM ones made just under 200...).
Scrolling through comments, I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the MR2 from Boostedboiz
tech.kyle lol I just posted that and then seen your comment.
That and Mr Dos
Because that's a $80,000 of work
Theres literally 4 different toobers that are doing mr2’s.. one did v6 with bolt ons as a give a way, kyles, another one with k swap but one turbo and one with stock motor turbo and internals with suspension ran as a drift car.. a little odd that havent seen an mr2 for while then all the sudden popular channels do mr2’s all at once..
@@Z-Ack That ex-drift one would be the series 1 on Casey Putsch's channel?
Not seeing anyone do the Hairdressers Edition Series 3 bodystyle tho'
The look on Marty's face when he called it a yaris was priceless
YESS THE CHALLENGES ARE BACK THE MEMORIES I LOVE MCM
Marty rolls up in a sick MR2 and I’m here watching the background for some ghosts.
I loved my aw11 so much but didn’t have the welding skills 😭 Everyone else on the road did too.
I'm fixing an AW11b atm
Do they rust out?
@@bigb3281 they do. Very much.
Just for some quick info when the mr2 gt was released it managed to run the 1 mile drag faster than the rx7 and the supra
lil oveRdose666 What?!! That’s crazy!
@@craigarcher7594 It was a faster car than the twin turbo Supra. Look at Best Motoring, it's quicker than an R32 GT-R.
@@itsallac0nspiracy well it is about 800lbs lighter than a Supra.
Big D Fitness Yeah, with a much smaller engine and one less turbo.
The same engine that Supra used in the JGTC.
Hopefully people (MCM included) will learn a lot about the SW20, now.
@@itsallac0nspiracy the MR2 had about 240hp and in Japan the Supra was limited to 280hp
So happy right now. Yes Moog, V6 Engine Swap. 3VZFE with a lot of boost. Alan Approves! Well done Marty! :)
4:28 Moog is sending a message Morse code thru his eyes. Someone DECODE IT!
Probably something along the lines of 'Toyotas are shit' I don't have the time to rewatch and actually decode it
NSX?
OMG.. toyota !!!!
I decoded it and he said moon buggy
Silas Kuemmerle but enough time to look through comments, find one, and talk about how you don’t have time. Hahah
get the Boostedboiz on a plane :D
Based on the age difference mentioned, I wonder if Moog is bringing back another beetle/bug.
Less doors he said? So a bubble car?
@@stevenboyd5044 Hmm, I missed that comment. Was also thinking fiat x1/9, but a bubble car would definitely be a Moog move
Probably a beach buggy beetle
Or way overpay for a fiero
Beetle kit car? He referenced having one or less doors.
“Me and Mr MR-Poo I mean MR-2” had me dead on floor laughing my ass off man, I can’t breathe 😂😂😂😂😂😂 legend!!!
“You know I don’t like these, so don’t ask” Moog 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
purple2275 when he said that I said I don’t like SR20 Nissan engines they sound like Hondas.😂😂😂
0:23 I miss wasaabi 😢
11:58 - Marty says Moog’s car is 30 years older, does this mean Moog has a 911 Porsche?
Air cooled 911 for less than $10k? Not a chance. He’s got a Bug
@@fakeaname Definitely a bug
not a 911 maybe a 914 or 916 would be my guess.
less doors though...
They already built a bug, so probably a 914.
at 4:00 when he says "because they are all broken and crashed?" straight faced. great punch line.
"Marty, a man in dandism."
He's also "New Rich and Sports" ;)
Dan who?
Up voted for a comment that left everyone who has not owned an MR2 like 'uh?'
If someone ever look at you the way Moog looks at Martys new car: that's a red flag. MRPOO
9:00 *used to be cheap in the US, these have gotten pricey over the last 3 years. Now people want 5k for a rust bucket non-op status turbo with 200k+ miles
same deal in the UK mostly, rough ones still rarely show up for cheap (like 2k) but really you're looking at 5K(10k AU/ 6k US) for a decent one. and the w20s are now starting to be consistently as or more expensive than the w30s.
Boostedboiz have entered the chat.
MOON TUNE IT!
Haha was thinking the same thing when he rolled up 😂
Wow, I'm really jealous. Please take care of that car 😢
Thought it was a 914, I keep forgetting how old I am. Nice MR2.
So did I!
MR2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As an MR2 owner (1st gen) I've been waitiing for you guys to tinker with one.
Cheers from across, the other, pond. lol
