Where's the supra already? And where's the hilux content at?
The creeper moving behind Marty😂😂😂☠️
Did you get a Dyno of before?
Nice guitar playing Marti.
Did you know that a "Weird Beard" exists on UA-cam? Look him up Moog & Marty.
Mighty Ghost Mods at 14:00 😂
LMAO
I was just about to comment this lol
i saw it too and was like wtf is going on here......
I couldn’t see any wires. 👻
Mighty Ghost Carts!
I've been watching you guys since before I could drive, so 14-15 years? I turn 30 in a few months. I don't know if this message will get seen but thanks for all the videos and happiness you bring to everyone, the few times I've felt down I've always found watching your videos has helped me. You helped me discover my love for cars all those years ago and i found my best friends through that passion.
I live in the UK and pick up my Volkwagen up! GTI on Friday and your videos helped me decide it was time to get a smaller, less silly car. Thanks for everything and I can't wait to see your next video.
Thanks for the kind message, enjoy the Up! you'll love it (until you come to your senses and get an Evo9)
Also from the UK. Hope you enjoy the up! 👍🏽
@@mightycarmods I wonder who wrote that😂
@@mastermotoff6589100% marty
No one going to mention the chair moving on by itself in the backround🤣
I know I just saw that too!!!!
I came to the comments for this LOL !!
Literally the same as above😂
Haha I just saw too 😅
GHOST STOOL IS STOOLING
What the hell is the little cart doing at 14:10 ?????????
old mcm shed is haunted, has been for a while...
yah we glad to see the guy making himself useful for once. seems like the coordination aint on point tho
Came here to say this
I seen that. 😂
I swear its 's possessed!
That intercooler sounds great. It must have taken a lot of editing to make it look like Marty is playing the guitar.
I'm not even gonna bother.....
Pure quality sound.
@@72mardy ayo its him
@@David-eq8wf I know mate. I wasn't going to bother arguing with the OP is what I meant
Both Marty and Blair are extremely talented musicians. It's how they met all those many years ago.
BRO AT 14:02 that stool in the back gets a mind of its own!!!!
It's just camera shy
14:00 ghost chair!
It's just camera shy
It just went on a journey of discovery on the other side of the garage!!!!
18:34 intercooler jam was epic! More of this please!!!!
These legends rock so hard. What a wicked little jam!!
Has a slight Halo theme vibe
Did anyone else notice the wheeled seat in the background moving by itself from the 14:01 time mark? It literally wheeled itself across the background by itself
It's for engagement, camera operator was pulling strings because the camera was on a tripod😂 classic MCM.
Returning MCM skit. Just like the bare foot showing up at (in)appropriate times.
Ad placement
Thought so too. Probably standing behind the roofbox with some fishing line. Fun detail though@@HandicapRacer
New to the channel? 😅
aside from the ghost chair, can we just appreciate the HKS bits that are just insanely nice quality? man that stuff is nuts
Appreciate them even more after the shit show of “bolt on” parts that was the up.
The fact that Moog played those notes in his head while jamming with Marty on the guitar... So good
The radiator noises are so perfect and the deadpan delivery is so consistent, I remember when I found this channel 10 years ago I LEGIT thought they made these noises
Wait, what? They don't?
If you think about how much time and effort it must take them to sync the harp with the strumming, it's even more impressive.
that jam session was amazing
Could not smash the like button enough at the Intercooler testing method. 😂❤
So casual, "45". Insert glorious laughter 😃
Thank you guys so much for being 2 guys in a shed no matter the level of success you have had!
18:45, I would totally subscribe to a channel of you guys doing occasional creative and amusing musical colabs like this.
Always good to get a harp riff when there is a small cute radiator
It's easy to forget that MOOG is an exceptional audio engineer and musician
The thing that NO other channel has like Mighty Car Mods is the genuine mateship Marty and Moog have. The convo, the banter and laughter is so genuine. You're just two blokes pissing around with cars and bringing us along for the ride.
Don't ever do what the Wiggles did and try and bring in a new line up when you are ready to retire. We noticed and the Wiggles are shit now.
How much was the car? 7000, How much did you spend on it, oh 45k 😂
I'd much rather do that to a jdm car civic, eclipse 97 awd, or a miata
For that much i could have a clean starting platform plus a whole lot of engine, suspension, and drivetrain mods
This reminds me of a ford pinto combined with a beetle
?? The miata/mx5/roadster was considered one of the best cars for what it was. Don’t see how it’s overrated? Depends what you want a car for.
That's like a median years wages here in Sweden...
@UwU-pk6nv it definitely has a community that butchers the cars but back roads or mountains very fun cars
But if i were to spend 50+ thousand including the car the those would be my choices i through in the AWD eclipse cause that'd save me money where as converting a civic to AWD is very expensive
Now to say i couldn't do that to a na/miata for less and reliability plus the 4 cylinder supra engine bay space for conversions
Mind you I'm 6'2" and anything to low is painful to get in out of.
Now i wouldn't go to the extent that ginguim did with his miata on lifting it but I'd do something similar on awd conversion Subaru chassis and drivetrain but I'd add a b20 honda motor or a small v6 no boost and it'd be hella fun and be able to handle snow with breeze
For me the most overrated car is the Toyota corolla
Who ever said the Corolla was good? It’s a small Econo family car. Not sure where you are from, you mean an old 86? The boring 90’s ones or a new GR?
@14:05 The ghosts start moving the cheaper seat. Look behind the back bumper. It rolled to where the jack stands were holding the rear up.
Yeah nothing new. They do this to spice up the boring parts
@mediocreman2 I figured it was someone behind the car. Bit of string. Just trying to get a rise.
14:00 Glad that the mighty car ghost still going well !!! LMAO
Yeah it's been there ever since they got that garage...
Like boxes falling off shelves and signs decoding to come off.
I've done a lot of catback exhausts over the years, and by far the best one I've ever installed was an HKS for a WRX. The craftsmanship, fitment, and sound were absolutely perfect.
I need more of you two jamming out!! I’d love to see a video of your creative process!! Or even just you two jamming in the studio together!! So great!!
This is MCM at its best, the old workshop, fixing their cars lying on the ground, or on their knees, just like they used to do, and rest of us have to. Love it. I've always thought the Copen was a proper little bit of kit. I'm resisting the urge to go to Autotrader or eBay for a browse😁
More Jammin' with the instruments please. Great video.
The music jam session with the intercooler was amazing love it guys.
Haunted chair at 13:55??
Two of the biggest car guy / nerds ever.. The intercooler/guitar solo is the best part
What is the V8 ute Moog mentioned referring to?
Probably the Holden Ute. There was talk back in the day of the IS getting it as a new El Camino
Did Marty just say "Twiddle the knob to make it Soft or Hard" haha almost fell out of my chair laughing 😂
Just one time in my life, I want to modify a car like this. Have the privilege to order just a TON of parts at once. Have em all rock up at the house and unbox it all and get to installing. It’s like Christmas for your car and for your soul
not going to comment on the ghost chair
and while I incidentally commented on the ghost chair
that musical interlude was top-notch. classic MCM style. Marty's rhythm and Moog's opening notes giving off some strange old-school AirWolf theme vibes.
You guys are just the best. That little musical number was beautiful!
Great stuff as always and loved the little music interlude on guitar and intercooler
I love these little musical segments you guys do. Good work on the strings guys 🤘
Re The tiny little intercooler. Get a motorbike rad cooling fan and stick it on the intercooler to run all the time with ignition. I used this method on old 80's Saab 900 turbos like WaSaabi and it worked well. They have a similar but slightly larger intercooler. Im currently building a track car and that has a big 12" high volume fan on the intercooler with water spray also. Max cooling !.
13:55 haunted rolly
Your ghost starts its haunting at the 14 minute mark...
The best thing about your guy's content is that you are yourselves. You inspire people to be genuine which is a rare thing on the internet these days! Looking forward to collaborating with you guys in the future😉😉
Wow, that musical interlude just gave this Copen / Cappuccino video, a huge thumbs up!
shoutout to Rob! met him in Hakuba last month! he is an absolute legend
Wait it's not EtsuRyu Rob is it??? How many Robs can there be in Japan selling kei car parts?
I grew up (USA) as a teen watching mighty car mods several years ago when yall were in a small garage. It’s crazy how far you guys have come. huge inspiration to me as a kid, and definitely a staple in the car community 🤟
There are so many UA-camrs doing the same thing as each other "I found the cheapest *Blah blah* and it was bad" etc and I get so bored of them, I've followed you guys from the driveway days and not once have I got bored of you guys, probably because you keep it real. Keep up the work guys.
Good to see the MCM Ghost back in action 👻
So everyone knows this is definitely going to get prepped for two years before being shipped abroad for the next k-car race, right? right?
i just bought one!. Such a fun car. Marty you definitely inspired me. Can't wait to hear that dos pipe
Your passion for fun with cars is contagious. Absolutely love the feel of MCM and garlic breads!
Because My wife likes VW I need to support Moog but Marty, my heart is behind you!
Woah ghost creeper at 14:00
Creepers gotta creep?
14 minutes in... the MCM ghost at it again
i love you guys so GD much, please never stop playing intercoolers and reminding us to smile when doing the things we love with the people we love.
Moog always reminds me of my dad especially with the hat on who passed away a few years back, we never got to work on a car together but now I am working through a 240z, still some of my favorite episodes are of the 240 they did! Keep doing what you do!
As the whole comment section is made up of ”ghost chair”. This is not fun, they’ve had serious problems with ghosts in the workshop.. It has been going for years..
$45k into a vw up 😮😮😮 and I thought I was insane putting $30k into a skoda octavia vrs.😅
On a different note. Yet another sick video. Great work guys.
$45k, not including labour....
The production values of you and your team are amazing! You guys rock!!! Your work ethic, your friendship, your dedication to fun, and your excitement and honesty about what you do is admirable and inspiring! Good on you mate!
Thank you so much for all the love, the passion, and good vibes you're spreading 🥰
22:50 I'll add to that, one good piece of kit for easy soldering wires on cars are those shrink wraps with bit of solder in the middle. Personally I don't own a portable soldering iron and those have been working great for all the wires that have had the need for proper joining.
Twisting is good for testing a thing, but it shouldn't be a permanent solution.
10:14 Dampening is making something moist. Damping is a term used for limiting the sudden movements of a shock absorber.
As youtube goes, nothing brings me more joy, then watching Marty being excited about dihatsu nuggets. 😂 like a kid in a candy shop.
Love you guys, especially the message behind your Christmas special. Unfortunately, I am too broke to afford anything on your store right now, but I’ve bought things before and I want to score some more merch/support the channel again when I have a chance ❤
Awesome little car, im stoked to see this little rocket on the street/track!
FREAKING MCM being creative again and again with the chair/cart/stool how its called @ 14:00 !!! FREAKING GENIUS GUYS again, dunno how u did it but u did it.
great video guys , i loved the little jam sesh this should be a fun car
I once bought an XD Falcon ute, spent 30 thousand on it over ten years, and then sold it in 2020 for only 15 without an engine to keep a roof over my head during the pandemic. Can't say I feel that was worth it haha
Dude, the video start with this soundtrack, instant good mood
I love watching you two tear apart cars and then make them better great video guys.
Such a good episode. Great job guys
The way you play intercoolers is just great!
8:05 So a Set of Honda Civic wheels from the mid 90's / early 2000's would have fit perfectly. Even the offset.
My 2nd car was an 1986 FC RX7 and the first thing I did was spend $265 on an HKS just like the one in the pic 4:25, that was such a big purchase for me being 17 years old, this was in 2000-2001. I can remember just how disappointed I was when it arrived, just the filter & adapter, no cool intake piping like my buddies Honda's got, nope just a foam mushroom filter & an adapter to fit the AFM 🤦♂, sure sounded fantastic, the factory intake tube on it was close to about 90mm. Really good sound around 7000RPM with stock everything else.
That merch intro was spot on! Lol. My eyes followed around the screen without even thinking lol
Heat shrink solder sleeves are a life saver, slip it over the wire, then heat it with a heatgun and it solders the wires together, shrinks over the wires and glues the ends into the wrap and seals them up at the same time
18:35 had me. This really is the best 4WD UA-cam channel out there. 🤣
I've just come back from Japan, and the amount of Toyota & Daihatsu nuggets was just insane!! Even the small 4wd little mini van style ones were all over the ski slopes covered in snow and I now want one 😂
The intercooler duet made me cry from laughter. Thank you for that. Cheers.
edit: the new wheels looks incredible by the way. Makes for a very stylish baguette!
That jam session rocked. That intercooler sounds great. I can never keep mine in tune.
What a fun adventure. Also liking how you have things that randomly start and stop moving in the background! 🤣
Cant wait to get my mistry box, i bought it because your BIG BLOCK MUDBOX engine conversion video, watched parts of it @1/4 speed to see what you where doing and did my own 1.5 swift engine conversion in my DUST-BOX
CHEERS fellas
Please check the Sprint Filter air filters, they are infinitely reusable without any kind of grease or goop, and they filter particles smaller than most aftermarket air filters while providing better airflow than average (and that any factory air filter).
Chaps love this video, and love this little car, it is 100% unique - now both the Up and the Garlic roll are similar in their uniqueness...well done...your roots are shining through...
I remember seeing one of these back in 2010. First Daihatsu I ever saw, and I didn't even know what it was until years later, but I liked it a lot
wow that intercooler sounds amazing, best one in a while honestly
19:04 oh hell yes! IC jam
It’s going to be great!
My wife had a new Copen here in NZ great car had it for 11 years and never went wrong, still see it about in town in Nelson, wish all these parts had been available when we owned it!
The intercooler tunes are still amongst my favourite MCM bits :)
such a smart way to get a ton of comments with the ghost/moving stuff, I love when you guys do this, it's like hunting for Easter eggs, this one stood out like dogs balls thou lol
I love the seats. Nice touch.
The Legend of Marty : Intercooler of Moog
genius guitar and intercooler jam session!
Amazing build ❤
14:00 You got the shed entity working on the car now, huh? Can't be a freeloader anymore. 🤣
You guys are so talented at sorting parts. Mighty Car Mods Imports!
Ok ….great episode….
Ghost chair 👀
And the intercooler jam are awesome highlights!!! 💜
I miss laughing at the random foot coming into frame to tighten something 😢 Keep up the good work guys, love watching..
Can we please all be aware of the fact that Martin is playing a Martin. So basically he's playing with...You know...
The Ode to Intercooler @18:35 was epic :)
Hey MCM. Absolutely loved the video! I really love watching you guys. Something funny @14 minutes in the video your workshop seat on castors starts moving behind the car 😂😂
What was with the chair moving in the background around the 14min 30 sec mark? You guys have a ghost? Or just comedy gold as usual. You guys are the best been watching from the beginning
Another great episode! 🤘
Neat little jam sesh, nice one boys!
This workshop is haunted 14:00 . It's not the first time stuff has moved by itself !! From memory this is the 3rd time I've seen things move.
