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.
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 $12K
@@lenientorange1113 SW20 price range is WIDE... The massively under powered NA USDM (130hp) can be had for 5k$... 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...).
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.
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
Always thought the "snap oversteer" for these cars was exaggerated, that was until i witnessed an mr2 snap oversteer on a sprint run around a smooth corner.. 🤣
It's pretty brutal and didnt get fixed until the MRS. My old man borrowed one after he blew the head gasket on his range rover. Was driving home from work one day, completely normally, and found himself pointing the other way. They're lethal.
Snap oversteer is just a word people use for the thing that happens when drivers who aren't used to mid-engined cars try to drive them like the usual RWD car. It'd happen on pretty much any mid-engine car but the reason you only hear about it whenever someone mentions the MR2 is because it's just about the most accessible one
@@douglaspealing5608 firstly, if the MR2 is set-up correctly it wouldn't happen on a smooth corner. secondly they 'fixed' it on revision 2-3 by altering the suspension and brake setup. even doing a very simple wiki would tell you that. idk where you get that info from, and if your argument back is 'yeah but late ones can still do it i'v seen it'... mate all mid engine'd cars can, Lambo's, Ferrari's the lot. the only reason MR2's have this name is due to the poor revision one setup gave it a huge name then all other models smoked things they should never of been getting close too. If you research this you will find out that the MR2 Turbo GTS was actually faster in a 1/4 mile than the Supra... the flagship sports car for Toyota... and the Supra was destroying Ferrari's of the day. Have a nice day.
@@Dsilver024 false, they haven't. It's all you idiots that have never owned or raced them that say this. Snap would indicate that it happens without warning and this is just not true. The engine is in the middle/back meaning that the car in most situations handles much much better than a front engine car giving the false sense of security so granted the window between feeling the rear go and having time to correct is shorter it's not as bad as instantly snapping. Most people out on their brakes as the response this unbalances the car. Anyways I wish internet warriors like you wouldn't feed false info... But in all honesty if you do then it keeps the cost of spare parts down for me.
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.

Moog- "MR2 isn't cool"
Marty- "there aren't many racing"
BoostedBoiz- "am I joke to you"
MCM prefer racing with corners in involved.
Looking forward to seeing Kyle's next run down a strip!
That Mr2 is nuts!
There is one racing in the STW cup, former VLN Nürburgring car.
Boostedboiz MR2(s) now this, perfect.
“Me and Mr MR-Poo I mean MR-2” had me dead on floor laughing my ass off man, I can’t breathe 😂😂😂😂😂😂 legend!!!
I've never hoped harder for Moog to show up in a Purvis Eureka.
Or a Formula Vee.
you might actually be right
You and some others have put this idea out there in the comments and I think you are right.
I've owned my sw20 mr2 for 12 years. I love the car, its definitely a different kind of experience, but its easy to work on and fun to drive. and ill never get rid of it
I’ve been waiting for a mr2 build for forever on this channel!!
I’m still waiting Moog. It’s been 12 hr.
His old Beetle broke down on the way there man ......
Unfortunately, while it was a beetle, it’s not his old beetle if you had seen the new video.
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast 🚗
I dont think ive ever read a comment so lame
KingBryant big ouch coming from you
“I don’t like these so don’t ask” I’m dead lmao
I can feel Sarah-n-Tuned coming along to tell you what to do here Marty :)
Go watch her build of her Red MR2
Good call on that one just checked it out.
Mister Dos
Lol
Consider monsieur Sarah a deux balles
you mean Sam-n-tuned? :x
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...).
MR2 SW20 is my favorite car!!! So happy to see yous doing a series on it!
"what do you think?"
"oh you know I don't like these so don't ask"
Best reply ever
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.
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
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'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
@@joeingram1868 it is australia, and they did have some issues with fire recently
... and Marty mentioned that he stored the MR2 inside ...
11:37 Marty says "not costing you the moon" Moog so has a Moon Buggy
MrMarton7 andddd he does
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'
M: mid engine
R: rear wheel drive
2: 2seater
@Alecstilleyedye thanks, i was about to do it :D
Alecstilleyedye Toyota refers to the mr2 both ways
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.
"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?'
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.
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
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 😉
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
Moog: it has to be rear engine.
Me: MR2
Marty: *rolls in the MR2*
Me: YES!
MR2 is mid-engined...
0:23 I miss wasaabi 😢
The look on Marty's face when he called it a yaris was priceless
YESS THE CHALLENGES ARE BACK THE MEMORIES I LOVE MCM
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
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.
get the Boostedboiz on a plane :D
OMG!! I asked for a 2nd gen mr2 in your last video! Will be a blast to follow this series! Thanks!
“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.😂😂😂
Marty rolls up in a sick MR2 and I’m here watching the background for some ghosts.
: *Mr2 has joined the server*
: *Snapoversteer has joined the server*
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.
i wish i never sold my MR2 turbo :( what a car, loved it, except spinning in on the motorway while aquaplaning! Not a car to drive when its raining
I did that in my 1 series today, shit my pants!!
My girlfriend (now wife) crashed mine about 7 years ago. Never been able to afford to replace it.
Spend money on tyres and save money on damages
@@jamieroberts1231 do you understand what aquaplaning is
@@deadlyviper_ that thing that the right tyres are very good at preventing? Yeh I'm sure he knows mate lmao.
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
Thought it was a 914, I keep forgetting how old I am. Nice MR2.
So did I!
I am about this challenge! Can't wait for this!
Always thought the "snap oversteer" for these cars was exaggerated, that was until i witnessed an mr2 snap oversteer on a sprint run around a smooth corner.. 🤣
It's pretty brutal and didnt get fixed until the MRS. My old man borrowed one after he blew the head gasket on his range rover.
Was driving home from work one day, completely normally, and found himself pointing the other way. They're lethal.
Snap oversteer is just a word people use for the thing that happens when drivers who aren't used to mid-engined cars try to drive them like the usual RWD car. It'd happen on pretty much any mid-engine car but the reason you only hear about it whenever someone mentions the MR2 is because it's just about the most accessible one
@@j4ff4c3ks1 false.... peep any review of the era and pro drivers and auto journalists who have plenty of seat time said the same
@@douglaspealing5608 firstly, if the MR2 is set-up correctly it wouldn't happen on a smooth corner. secondly they 'fixed' it on revision 2-3 by altering the suspension and brake setup. even doing a very simple wiki would tell you that. idk where you get that info from, and if your argument back is 'yeah but late ones can still do it i'v seen it'... mate all mid engine'd cars can, Lambo's, Ferrari's the lot. the only reason MR2's have this name is due to the poor revision one setup gave it a huge name then all other models smoked things they should never of been getting close too. If you research this you will find out that the MR2 Turbo GTS was actually faster in a 1/4 mile than the Supra... the flagship sports car for Toyota... and the Supra was destroying Ferrari's of the day. Have a nice day.
@@Dsilver024 false, they haven't. It's all you idiots that have never owned or raced them that say this. Snap would indicate that it happens without warning and this is just not true. The engine is in the middle/back meaning that the car in most situations handles much much better than a front engine car giving the false sense of security so granted the window between feeling the rear go and having time to correct is shorter it's not as bad as instantly snapping. Most people out on their brakes as the response this unbalances the car. Anyways I wish internet warriors like you wouldn't feed false info... But in all honesty if you do then it keeps the cost of spare parts down for me.
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 😢
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.
