looked like you were really going at it, there was some scary moment when u went a little bit tail happy on the c turn. glad u were having fun, glad the car coming together and performed really well.

Still one of my favorite videos to drink coffee to by the wood stove on a Sunday morning...before I go out and thrash my WRX to within an inch of its life. ;-) Safely of course. Love this car and your videos, man. Continued thanks for the entertainment!
I have always liked the MR2. One of my best friends bought one new years ago. It was a fun car to drive and ride in. About 10 years ago, I bought a Mazda Miata. It was my first true sports car. It was a decent balance between performance and costs. It sounded OK, especially in higher RPM's. My first car ever bought was a Chev 67 Chevelle SS 396 Factory High Performance. It sounded really good, especially with the headers. Today, I drive a 2008 Maserati GranTurismo. It is a true Italian High Performance Sports Car, with lots of Luxury too. It has back seats, trunk, leather, etc. Prior owner replaced exhaust system with high performance everything. It was loud and sounded good, pretty much straight pipes back to tips. But, it gave me a headache to drive. I put in a high performance axle back exhaust system that had small mufflers. It sounds great, and doesn't announce in advance to the Police that I am coming their way.
love a miss the spirit of my 4age bluetop... but got a good deal on a 2zz / 6spd so thats whats in my 86 aw11 right now... just got to finish up the rest of it so i can go throw it at some back roads !!!
@@user-zq6yz5gf6d Not exactly true if you watch most ae86 drfting videos esp in japan they all got hella raspy exhausts but the part that sounds good is induction and hondas have incredible induction sound without itbs and even better with. My si has a k20 with a 3.5" intake on it and a velocity stack revving to 8600 rpm and it sounds fucking incredible so i like to have quieter exhausts to let the best part of the engine sound stand out.
Awesome! And proof that you do not need 1000 horsepower to have a ton of fun. I had an 89 SC and the front would oversteer in a tight hairpin the same way. I would like to build another aw11 with a 20 valve Blacktop at some point. Really enjoyed the ride along and hearing the sound of the engine.
Thanks, glad you liked it and get the point. I was good through that hairpin, but there was a wet patch in the end that caught me off guard as I was trying to be all flamboyant through that corner :)
I convinced my grandpa to let me work on his 1985 MR2 to get it as a temporary car. Will probably buy it off him when I get the money seeing how it'll be my first car (I'm 15 don't judge)
Be careful out there, public roads ain't race tracks ! BMW not feeling too well after that hairpin. Anyway, I think you're getting there with the microphone setup. Sounds way better than the first time. Still lacks a bit of deepness i think, maybe get it closer, or higher volume for the engine ? Or work on the road and air noise the microphone is getting. On your drive, especially the hairpin: just go full apex mode. Get as far from it in the beginning, and get as tight as possible, then out again. Getting the rear end loose is useless apart from show, with this much traction (dry road/good tires), it's slowing you down a lot. Give it just enough to have the appropriate weight transfer, in case the rear is light.
Beautiful build and nice spirited driving! Enjoy every minute of your time in this car! It's a keeper. Not asking you to give away any driving secrets but out of curiosity, where is this road?
Thank you for the kind words. The road is a mountain road leading to the ski slopes of the Olympic mountain of Jahorina, near Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
WOW......its still "Landmine" country there!!!! Mines buried everywhere from what I read. This road remind me of Western Pennsylvania USA, around our ski resorts! I lost it on a hairpin curve at 60mph, road covered with wet leaves at nite in a 1987 Corvette many, many years ago! It didn't end well....... I hope you see this message out of the millions of comments you get. I have a very pressing question if you can be kind enough for your expert opinion. I'm watching your "ENGINE BALANCE: ODD FIRE V6" which is an incredible teaching lesson. I have been researching the PRV V6 & theoretical torsional vibration & possible performance R&D. Can the PRV simply be balanced like you state how the Alpha Busso's front crank pulley & flywheel is balanced????? Thanks so much for all the education you've given to the world! Regards, Chris USA
Hi Chris. I don't know what you read but it is not landmine country, there are very few places left with mines and it's very hard to reach those. Any split pit v6 can be balanced with offset weight pulleys and flywheels like the Busso. Thanks for watching and for your words of support.
It was referenced in Wikipedia 10yrs ago for Jahornia around the resort in the forests, unless its been cleaned up by now. Did you mean to say split "pin"? Was that Busso odd-fire or even-fire? Thanks for the replies. Chris
I'm happy with it so far honestly. I don't feel like I need anything different with this engine's torque and power level. However, this transmission would definitely need to go if I decide to increase the power or do a swap or something in the future.
Does this car have an empty catalytic converter? Because I love the sound of this car and I don’t know if I should empty the cat of my car with the stock exhaust
It's sound from inside the car and sound from inside the engine bay mixed together. It's the most realistic representation of what the car actually sounds like that I could achieve. But I don't think it would work well for ASMR 🤔
@@d4a Actually, my setting is almost same. I use three microphones. Engine bay, Cabin and exhaust. Thanks for replying! Anyway, isn't it ASMR to hear good car sound for motorhead?:)
@@d4a I prefer to use Rode microphone. It provides good sound quality with reasonable price. Wind protection is the most tricky part to get clean sound of car. Easiest way is use gopro with wind removal function.
