Ok
Let's goo
😎😎
Done! This will be hung in my garage for me to look at for inspiration while I’m building my UK spec s13 😍😍
Can’t watch just yet but finally. I’ve been waiting a long time for this
"people over-revving their hondas through fart can exhausts are called dickheads" thank you Moog, that was much needed.
Yeah, that's what got them the like from me...
My friend put a bosozoku exhaust on his Honda and it sounds absolutely sick when revving.
@@themagnushjort said no one ever
@@sluvington It sounds way better than a fartcan bro
@@themagnushjort ignore these pseudo-enthusiasts. Honda's have some of the highest performance per cylinder engines on Earth and a proper exhaust exemplifies that beautifully
You need a cheryl poster or Martin's mom's driveway as a poster.
Manga-style Martin's mum's driveway. Complete with Cuore and shiddy Civic on hotboi Autosalon wheels.
The driveway with the trd lazer in manga style would also be the kangarooz👌
@@mikew4303 lol right !
Oh man the mums driveway build memories...good times
*mum
The beautiful monologue from 15:06 to 15:24 is exactly why I’ve been subscribed to you guys for over a decade
Moog throwing that intercooler and Marty catching it was for me, the magic moment. :) Awesome!
It was the same for me. I had this crazy moment of jealousy and appreciation. Like that’s what every car guy wants. Friends to work on their cars with and to be able to goof around while doing it. Plain and simple.
The mOnEy ShOt 💴
the purity box is kinda like Tupperware containers
in my house we dont throw away leftovers. we put them in Tupperware containers, have them get pushed to the back of the fridge, discover it a month later THEN we throw out the leftovers.
Always fun discovering sentient life has evolved in the back of the fridge.
In my house growing up stuff went from fridge to freezer b4 it "went bad"... that lead to things like finding a 25yr old porkchop when we moved.
@@UmmmmmmmWhat and how did said chop taste
@@hoedotalex thankfully said porkchop finally went where it should've gone long ago...
"IN THE BIN!"
"Bam-Bam and Bow-tie" feels like an alternate reality version of Marty and Moog.
They would be hosts of "Boss Car Bits"
And the show is about modifying their goats
The Chippendials?
@@bawwsbearrd then they'd have to fix Jimbo's Vadyna.
Dude. I've been watching them basically since they started, and only because of your comment did I realize that not only do their names start with the same letter, the show title does too!
Hahahah stop 😂
"I'm just storing them in there, until the bin gets taken" Kudos to Marty for keeping it together for the most part, because I lost my shit... :D
When you said "90's style" I started tingling in places I've never tingled before.
I'm gonna take a punt that this series is going to be the most watched on MCM. The S13 thirst is real.
we can only hope this inspires marty to buy and do a nissan to vs moog in hehe
@@tristanmeadows he's got the March Super Turbo
@@yeahitskimmel thats not a real car its a kei car lol
@@tristanmeadows you take that back! >:(
the march is amazing
@@PointlessDrummer yea but it cant beat a 180sx lol its made for putting around the tokyo lanes my dude
The car is in pretty good shape but what made me go "woah" was that uncracked dash. I can't remember the last time I saw an S13 dash that wasn't a mess of cracks. Insane.
So weird seeing this, I’m in the Uk the dashes are always perfect it’s the underside of a car that’s fucked haha
lol i rarely seen s13 with cracked dash actually i guess it always depends where u live (i have a perfect dash on my vert)
My aunt bought one of these new in the 90's and the dash was cracked in 3 years. We don't even live in a warm or dry climate either.
haha i have 3 uncracked dashs 1 in the car and 2 spare lol
Standard in Europe..
I've had my 200sx RS13U (european spec, which comes with the CA18DET) for 14 years. I bought it from an 82 year old man, Mr Price, who stayed in my home town, Cape Town South Africa. He imported it brand new in 1992 from Belgium to South Africa. I bought it from him (I was the second owner from brand new) for R18 000 ($1158) in 2008, it had 78 000km (48 000 miles) Full service history, everything was OEM, including the rims, radio, sunroof bag, full tool kit and jack and some other OEM goodies from Nissan in Belgium.
After 14 years of ownership, she still puts a smile on my face, hearing the turbo and exhaust sound. Looking at her all polished and clean always makes me think what a beautiful car that Japanese made.
My 200sx still is OEM, with a full service history, original radiator, original shocks, original springs (never cut), still stock height, original rims, original midnight blue paint, the only upgrade i ever did to my car, was a stainless steel exhaust and T28/T25 turbo, original exhaust manifold, original injectors. She is making a reliable 158kws and 285nm. The current milage is a very healthy 184 000kms (114 332 miles) still full service history, i change the oil and oil filter every 5000kms (3100 miles).
If you guys would like to see pictures of my car follow me on instagram @200sx_ca18det
Not sure why I haven't come across this channel yet. This title, and then a series!! I'm in! I've owned 34 s13's and still have 2. The timing of finding this series is perfect. I am on my way in the morning to pick up my Sil-80 I've had over 10 years! After Winning my pro spec license with it , life happened and it has been sitting in a field at my parents for over 5 years! Couldn't resist putting in an order for one of your 180sx posters! looking forward to some new art for the shop and some quality content!
FYI the little green plug is a brake pedal stopper, it activates the brake switch, sometimes they flog out and your brake lights stay on, just tack a 5c piece in there for ultimate reliability!!
I slipped a bolt through mine years ago and it’s still fine
Love Macguyver fixes. 👍👍. Good job 👍👍❤️
Came here to say this ahah
@@ashbroussard4854 Ah shit same. Think they were unavaliable for a while there too!
Also goes on the clutch pedal its a stopper for the switches
Love the manga style artworks, especially when it's not just "we have these for sale", it's "we've commissioned the artist, Jestami, to create this"
Shout out jestami
I love them, my dad got me 3 of them and one of the shirts, got them framed in my room
"It's your car, you have to do what the internet says"
Gold from Marty.
Can't wait to see the end result. Or the MR2 that gets purchased from the purity box sale.
I love how there’s never any rust on these project cars (except occasionally a bit on the Japanese imports)! Here in Canada, they’re rusty before they leave the new car lot 🤦♂️!
I know eh. I hate rust it's the bane of my existence.
Winters suck!!!
I bought my 180sx off a street drifter a few years ago for 11k. I definitely paid too much for it at the time. But 275kw under the bonnet, massive garret turbo on 18-21psi, Z32 gearbox and running on e85. Still just repairing things that break and trying to make it look good again. Lots of plans for it, looking forward to follow the MCM 180sx! Will definitely be grabbing one of those posters.
I'll be that guy who complains about you guys throwing out 30 year old discontinued great condition 180sx rear tail lights! I'm completely outraged 😠.
Love you guys, I had my 180sx out at the WA mcc meet many moons ago! Hopefully one day mcc brings the community together with more meets 😀.
Bonus jdm points for the factory moon roof, floor mats and fog lamps
As someone from America who has enjoyed watching your videos for years I still appreciate the vocabulary lesson from Moog. The Honda owners revving through a fart box are the same here.
I wish I could feel the same kind of joy for literally anything that these guys feel over floor mats.
I laugh every time you guys use the “in the bin” clip. In fact, I use the term after I pick up after my dog….when I tell her “this goes IN THE BIN”, her tail wags like crazy. Nicely done, lads!
Mighty car mods and the 180sx is the reason I ended up getting one. I love you guys and these type of episodes
The Yaris and Golf mods were great but this is what MCM is all about.. Loving the Purity of Making the Ole' Nugget great again. I can't wait to see what becomes of this 180SX... This build harkens back to the 1975 Fairlady build. It's a Nissan, it's white, and it's Moog's.... Great start gents.. Can't wait for more episodes.
27:26 Literally the best bit you guys have ever done.
Love it!
Average 180SX driver on a rainy day: In the bin.
Guys, thank you both so much for everything you've provided for me. I'm so very thankful, every time I drive I think of you guys and everything that you've given and done over the 10 years I've watched. You've helped to save me.
also buy an FN2.
YAY \o/ SR20DET build done in 2022. I have a "project" car that's been unloved for years gathering dust in the garage for well over a decade due to circumstances beyond my control. It's JDM import. It's SR20DET powered - it has the late 90's air filter, 3" cat back exhaust (drooooone), the 3 aftermarket gauge pod on the driver's A pillar, the 18" wheels with painted on rubber, the whiteline lowering springs, the blow off valve, the oil catch can, the Profec B boost controller - was running 1.2bar on the stock turbo as a daily. All that "back in the day" stuff. Sadly the uprated heavy clutch caused the demise of the clutch release arm by way of a hole being punched through it by the rod it pushes on (known issue at the time). I had to park it up and mothball it due to lack of funds. Keep meaning to get to it, but.... f****ng life just won't give me a break :(
Hope I can get some inspiration here and see what is now possible. Maybe bring myself to look at it again. It depresses me having it there to the point I can't look, but not letting it go... because.. one of these days I'll be in a position to sort it :D
I've been out of the loop for a bit and hadn't had the chance to watch this build yet. I'm so happy you're building this car, I have an 89 240sx hatch that I just finished RB20DET swapping a year and a half ago and I just LOVE these cars. I've owned 4. This is easily the best car I've ever owned, and it's one of my favorite cars ever. I'm super excited to see you guys build this car, so genuinely happy for you guys!
The charger air cooler catch was choreographed to perfection. Awesome
ikr
Moog's ability to blindly toss items with such accuracy is always impressive
Marty reminds me of my dad, I throw shit I don’t need in the bin and he goes threw and says it will be useful later or resold…. But sits there for years HOARDER LMAO but in this case genuine resell value!! Haha great jobs guys
I recently had the biggest hoarder win. My wife and I have a Ford Escape that has a bent up radio antenna. I was digging through some of my stuff and found the antenna from my first vehicle that fit it. I've held onto that antenna for FOURTEEN YEARS.
My dads even worse, if you throw the stupidest little thing with absolutely no value, he goes apeshit. 70% of the clutter in the house is his crap
It must be a dad thing, mine's the same.
Mind you, for twenty five years he had Lambretta parts stashed all over the house, then when us kids left home, he finally built it into a working moped. (Kinda working, it's really unreliable)
Most of the stuff he hoards is just junk though.
Hey guys , poster ordered , can,t wait , your amazing book took 2 months to wing its way to the sunny UK , so worth the wait , pride of place on my bookshelf , don,t change a thing , your channel is awesome . Jonnie UK .
I love how you used the same song over the top of the run down of the 180 as you did on the season 5 premiere 180 (before it was known as tay-tay), it made me happy inside.
i have bought every signed poster and book, keep em coming guys been following since the beginning.
I had to buy the Mira one because my wife also bought me a Mira. Love it!!
I had a 92 alto works wish I had the poster for it lol
I haven’t watched MCM in awhile, but S chassis content brought me back. Can’t wait for this.
Dad had a 200sx turbo back in 1990. I borrowed it without his permission, it was incredibly quick and handled superbly. Stock it could manage 150mph (on the speedo). For the money at the time it way ahead of the competition and looked fantastic. Couple of friends later in the years had s14 turbos, added a few small things like super dragor exhausts and HKS induction and they ripped.
Moogs summary if the difference between Australia and the US was HILARIOUS, spot on but funny as fock!! Had me rolling
Hahaha me to I just came to the comments looking for this!!
But he got the part about shrimps and prawns wrong lol… they are not the same.. two different animals
It actually wasn't spot on though. Gas doesn't refer to a gas. It's just an abbreviation for gasoline. The word gasoline much more accurately reflects the refined state of petroleum than the generic word 'petrol'. So funny how people don't know this.
As far as measurements, definitely some truth there, although C sucks for your average person. Great for science though, but doesn't have the range of F.
But hey, don't take the correction personally. Lots of people get it wrong
@@mediocreman2 unlike some people I actually know the difference and I'm all to aware that gas is short for gasoline.... Here in the UK its known as petroleum spirit..... IT WAS FOR THE COMEDY VALUE but please don't take my correction personally, alot of people don't know either 😉
@@markphillips6998 too* don't take my correction personally.
I enjoyed the level of trolling going on in this episode
I had a few s13 in my early 20’s and I miss them dearly. Such a sentimental car to me.
i haven't even watched the video yet, but i watched the original 180sx videos 9 years ago and i was about 15. i dreamt of 180sx and this video is already bringing nostalgia. because now i own a 180sx, and i've really made it my dream car the 15 year old me was wanting so bad, thank you!
Speaking of floor mats, I had a wrecked WaSaabi (C900T) I was parting out and ended up selling the floor mats for more than I paid for the whole car. Had no idea they worth that much until someone offered to buy them and did a quick check on eBay for pricing. Love the build though. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my RB powered Sileighty a couple years ago.
Love the look of the wheels already on the car.
Insta liked the video and paused to buy the print.. so excited to follow this series!
Just wanna say you guys are the reason an S13 became my dream car. Watched the original 180 videos back when I was 16 in 2013 and here I am a UK 200SX SR owner. I'm currently restoring/building it at the moment and hope to have it driving in the next couple of months. Just want to say the music at 5:28 hits hard, love that you've reused it. That song plus the car is literally what made me fall in love x
do you remember the name of the song? i love that song too, but i never recall the name of it :(
@@salto1994 I don't think they ever released it
My dream 180: looking totally stock with some engine upgrades. Is so rare to find a stock one these days
Yup, cause unfortunately people love to ruin these cars
I remember watching the original 180sx built series, matte green with the chopped stickers on it
I was lucky enough to pick up an s13 silvia 2 years ago from an old bloke in Perth for $1500aud, in MINT condition, doing an oem+ build because im sick of seeing these cars ruined
you wouldn’t say this 8 years ago
@@KamiKitsuneVA stock s-chassis are poo. Every car needs another 100kws better suspension and bolt ons to make it good from factory regardless of the car!
Be like saying a stock r33 gtst is a good car as well haha
15:06-15:23
The best rant/informative section ever🔥😂
Shrimps are not prawns… two different things
That 0.5 shot of Marty saying "in the bin" gets me every time 😂
15:10 I've heard that gas vs petrol statement so many times. It's not called gas because it's a vapor, it's short for gasoline. Petrol (short for Petroleum) is straight up crude oil. Gasoline is the distilled and processed derivative of Petroleum. Petroeum doesn't go in your fuel tank; gasoline does. But hey to each their own.
Nice to see you lads back in your normal space doing what you do best
I've still got my 1994 180sx. Bought it 15 years ago. Same colour and spec at this. All the mods you've described is almost exactly what I've done all period correct 90's parts.
15:17: "...measurements in centimeters..."
15:42: "...we're looking for 150, 160[Pounds per Square Inch]"
🤗
Keep up the good work, very entertaining as always 😉
I love my 180SX I have had it since January 2000 and was my daily driver for 14yrs now for 8yrs it's in the shed as I work in Asia. It's a 1989 with 280hp CA18DET Gun metal grey, black work meister S1 2pc a Kakimoto exausht and a ton of mods. One day when I return I will give it life again and watching the price rise love the build and be getting a poster sent to Kuala Lumpur cheers.
15:19 I laughed way to hard at that, because as an Australian its so true
Petrol, because it's not a gas lol
All good points, and then they measure the cylinder pressure in pounds per square inch :(
Shrimps are not prawns… two different animals
My favorite part of the whole video is moog explaining the Aussie language, and the Honda comment is a universal term. Lmao 😂
And then proceeds to read out the pressure gauge in Psi not Kpa lol
My first car and what hooked me on cars and brought me to you guys was my 180sx(240sx since I'm in the states) it was terrible with the 2.5 half-blown leaky engine and I did SR redtop swap and everything else you gents mentioned as well. Sold it for down payment for my house ($2500 ;_;) and the kid I sold it to wrapped it around a tree. (he's fine) So much nostalgia with this car and obv had to buy poster. I still have the redtop coil cover I will be putting with the poster for good memories!
Thank you for helping preserve the parts that are impossible to find and reducing waste by recycling the junk to someone who wants it... or doesn't and it gets discarded anyway.
Great to see the mighty 180sx being built, already grabbed a poster can't wait till it gets here.
You can tell how much money they make at this point by how they just toss the OEM perfect condition tails in the trash. OEM tails for my BB6 Prelude are more than I care to wish to pay, and I can only imagine the price of the perfect OEM 240sx tails.
Props to Marty for saving the day! I'm guessing they both knew that and Moog was just messing with us lol.
You'd be surprised. I've had pristine stock rear lights and a whole pristine stock intake (the intake hose, breather hose, airbox, air flow meter and all the mounts and clips) I've had both on ebay at 50 bucks for 6 months. I thought people would be interested in sosres or putting some of the cars back to stock for sale or display/ storage. But apparently not.
It’s because the kouki and special edition models are out there, no one wants the standard bottom spec ones
You can barely even give those tail lights away. The only people that want them are usually using them on drift hacks purely for scrutineering.
They're just trolling us for comments. I love a good troll.
Always unplug the injectors (and pull fuel pump fuse if you want) when doing compression testing.
Spraying unburnt fuel in the combustion chambers is going to wash off your surface oil on the cylinder walls and cause the most wear you can imagine.
I don't think I've ever been so excited for MCM build series than this one right here.
This episode was an absolute hoot guys, very funny! Loving the 180 build so far and can't wait to see how you guys finish it off.
I was talking to an old guy the other day in the city who was rocking a 100% stock standard S13 Silvia. It was in 95% factory condition. The seat was a bit ripped and the shift knob was shot.
Surprisingly I only found out about this channel last week, I now have a reason to watch UA-cam😃
Oh my god.... good luck, you have a lot to get through to catch up.
15:06 Yes!!! Facts! No truer words were spoken.
finally JDM
Love a good ‘in the bin’ episode, just know there’s an awesome build gonna happen.
Ha this brings be back to the old days when you guys worked on that ratty black 180 waaay back in 2013, oh how time flies, even used the same music for the voice over!
Please keep doing the "in the bin" clip FOREVER!! XD Love it!!!
You need a new clip of Marty saying 'in the purity box', but probably not as catchy as in the bin.
“To the box”
Would love to see the green fence paint look come back lads
Enjoying a couple of bongs as I kick back and watch my favourite car channel 🤘
I feel so bad for my 240sx. It used to be my daily driver, worked as a pizza delivery car, helped me move around out of my hometown and to various apartments, and was sort of a friend to me. The KA24DE needed to be rebuilt, and it took its last drive in 2014 with the 120 miles back to my parents house where it currently is rotting away. It’s bone stock except a Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel, never in a crash, has that hatch trunk cover thing lol. Not sure what it’s fate is going to be, rusting into a pile…
Quality content 👌
OEM+ would be best for this build💪
Nooooo stock can rot
Товарищи, вы молодцы! Машина очень красивая, выглядит достойно! Одна из самых моих любимых!
Comrades, you are great! The car is very beautiful, looks worthy! One of my very favorites! greetings from Vladivostok😎👍
Holy shit! I haven’t watched these guys in about 7-8 years! I forgot about them 😅
Maaaad, looking forward to this build guys! About to place an order for a Mk8 Golf R to be my new daily!
Marty saying the car is rusty makes me laugh 😅 fresh out of dealerships cars in Canada are worst than this nugget. Its hard to keep any car viable more than 15years up here..
Oh my god! I had one of these 20 years ago too! Loved it so much and still one of my favourites! so happy to see you guys doing this!
Something about you guys working on the floor on your backs is so relatable and nice to watch haha
Nice timing, watching these Episodes while my EU 180SX (200SX) is at the body shop is awesome. Even the Color matches ... and I bought mine in 2019, too. Ordered the Poster yesterday, really looking forward to it.
As an owner of an S14a for the last 16 years, really looking forward to this build. Not sure about in Oz, but over here, those lights are rare as hen's teeth and £££££££. Anything SX is gone hard to get and big $$$ over here now.
most stuff here was gone by 2010.we had jdm car lots everywhere early 2000s
Thanx, dudes! Nice episode. Cool to see you, guys, in your old place. Ir's so native and cozy, even without a lift.
Man, I miss my 93 240sx hatch. It was automatic, but to see what these are worth now is unbelievable. Could you have ever thought back then how popular these cars are now? Amazing.
I am an American watching you from Germany. Your both very entertaining and informative. I look forward to each new show, The car models are sometimes unknown to me as they are not imported in Germany or America.
Zilvia was the site to be on. my 240sx will forever be my favorite car. dumped thousands of dollars into it. great vehicle to learn about cars.
I like how you guys made an exact copy of your original garage in the new big garage!
MCM, entertaining and educating our wormholes since 2007. ❤️
Nice to see you in the old shed! I don’t get tired of the “in the bin”
The beginning cracked me up because I literally “smoked a bong” right before I watched this. 🤣🤣
Marty with the pure goat noises at 25:54 while talking about purity... nice
Out of my ordinary I purchased one of the posters because I love the channel and my daughter loves the manga type art work. But for best 2 door car my heart lives with my old VW Corrado G60 still the one car I just truly loved for what it was and how it drove and still miss
27:06 the way the harp comes in is jarring at first but the more you listen to it. It really seems to catch your ear, what a cool mix....
Nice work boys!
Make sure you replace the water hoses under the inlet manifold.
I’ve been waiting for a solid minute for this to drop
I can’t believe you’re finally doing the 180 build 😍
Moog’s reaction to s-chassis prices is spot on.
Super excited for this....I recently began working on my s13 hatchback that's been sitting around for 6 years...got the car started last week....also I'm the only one who likes the stock tail lights on the hatch? It was the tile and the pop up that made me fall in love with the s13 hatch
Soooo excited for this! I am building a 240sx with an SR20DET swap over in the states. This is keeping me motivated!
Moog respect the purity bin!!
Cheers!!
"in the bin" love it!!! Need that shirt..
Ok, ya got me. After watching a few series and now seeing this is the new one? Consider me subbed. This is gonna be an awesome build.
