The quality of mighty car mods is just second to none, for a free to watch show. Just incredible!
100%. Even in the old days they were way easier to watch than other channels, they're just naturals at being on camera, and have the perfect mix of being informative and funny at the same time. And Moogs music production is really fitting for the channel and the editing is always simple but clever.
Roadkill 😆
god_blaster thanks blaster of gods, we do try to make it look and sound as good as possible
So true!!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏻
Mighty Car Mods please excuse the name 11 year old me thought sounded cool 😂
So good to see Marty put 300% into an old car like this. His attention to detail and his willingness to go that extra mile on every car despite what it is is just awesome.
Well, if you are doing something, anything in life, when you do it properly the first time, it will last.
Looks like someone is going to get a nice car out of this... unless it blows up.
Yeah it cannot get crushed!!
John Rendell Lean crushing blue turd is one thing, but a mr2 is different especially one that’s pretty much been rebuilt and is actually (or should be) a good car.
I can’t even recall the last time I seen one on the street in Sydney, are they becoming rare or am I just in the wrong places?
@@noeleenbatchelor3736 They're like rocking horse shit here in the UK so can only think even worse in other countries, only place to get one from now is Japan, that's for a good not rusted model. UK Models are either rotten, smashed, no engine or just in shit condition.

12:55 did moog really just say old lady knee guard in Marty’s bedroom 😂😂😂
We have one... same colour... have had it for over 20 years... in Canada. Small world.
Poor Cheryl...
Wonder what it was for 😏😏
@@wisico640 For the "gardening" (*makes mole paws movement with hands) 😂
Marty is an incredible mechanic. Wiring and manufacturing his own parts is just awesome! Love the show guys.
Especially considering where they come from ... they really learned so so much along the way!
Nooooooooooo. Really ?
10+ years of experience and with the right tools and help from others, or course anyone can cook.
Yeah, they always make out like they're not very good at it but they really are

“Old lady’s knee guard that I found in Marty’s bedroom” legitimately choked on my drink 😂😂
hey thanks Cheryl
But what did Moog doing in Marty's bedroom?
Those old ladies probably chocked on something to.
@@piimaonu certainly raises some questions.

MOOG CAN YOU PLEASE RELEASE THESE TUNES THERE ABSOLUTE BANGERS
16:14 Love the song Moog! Really well done!
"seats in cars are like teabags that work in reverse" - LMAO!
he is brave for getting his face that close to the seat and taking a big whiff.. lol
This explains everything: mightycarmods.com/blogs/news/seats-are-teabags-that-work-in-reverse-heres-proof
I both laughed and cringed at that line...
This is why I prefer Leather when buying a used car lol
I swear I giggled heartily when he said this lmfao
outstanding philosophical nuggets per usual. Who needs Plato when you can have a Moog!? 😄
Marty! One MR2 owner to another, park on the steepest hill/driveway you can find and "burp" the radiator in front with the valve to do so and refill the cooling system, you will be glad you did!
Watching Marty struggle with a car that just seems to fight him just makes these “first start” videos that much better.
I can’t wait to see this thing running.

MCM - Canada is the northern most state!
*Alaska leaves the chat *
Poor Alaska always gets left out
This comment made my night.
@@zporadik5651 Yep, it does. Cape Columbia on Ellesmere Island of the Nunavut Territory is only 478 miles away from the geographic N. Pole while the Northern most point of Alaska is Point Barrow is 3 times farther away at 1291 miles.
What is closer is not the point though. The point is, Alaska is just as north as most of Canada, but always gets forgotten lol.
Rip us in Alaska 😂😂
@@redaryan9719 at least they didn't get the country wrong like saying Canada is a state ..
I've been saying Marty Car Moogs for years.
And Moog did too in an episode on Marty's mum's driveway!
Hello Cheryl! 🤭
*Moog hurting himself and cussing in the first three seconds of an MR2 video*
Me: This gUnnA bE GUd
Being from Saskatchewan, it's actually funny how many people that aren't from here cannot say it lol
yup Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!!!

Marty starting to look like a master fabricator these days. Look at him go!
Watching the montage of Marty wiring and fabricating to good music was pretty epic and relaxing.
Dean Murphy home grown tunes
Song title and artist please?!?
@@generalgreen77 Moog writes, records, and mixes all MCM music. If I recall, most, if not all, of the music is listed with Moog as the artist. It's all available on iTunes and on the MCM website. Some of the newer stuff might not be available yet.
@@generalgreen77 This is a new tune by Moog. It will probably be finally revealed and put on sale + streaming during the finale of the 10k rear engine car challenge.
Like watch turbo yoda work
I’ve been saying “Marty Car Moogs” for years
"Seats are like teabags in reverse"
Me: Yea.... Wait wuuuuuh?!😂😂😂
I think it was his way of saying he's been tea-bagging Marty's seats for years.
Moog's progression with his music is just outstanding!
❤😁
"thats a weird sounding monkey" - marty. Looks out at australian birds making the same sound...
Bird as in "flappy things in the sky" or "Malbourne housewives"?
I was reasonably certain Australia has no monkeys. Will admit that I reverted to google to re-confirm it :)
16:13 will this song be released on music platforms? I like it
I was gonna ask if anyone know the name of it... damn, not released
It needs to be released, its amazing!
Is there a full version of this?
Banger
@@squallywrath9318 exactly
Marty, I actually cried when it fired up, I miss my MR2 turbo loads and it was great to see it bark into life. Looked identical to yours apart from it being a rev 3 with rev 5 spoiler. 202 astral black, tintop, even had the same steering wheel. I can't wait to see it absolutely destroy the Moog buggy. Please keep it when you're done. :-)
Them: why are you crying?
Me: I can't find Moog/Blair's song to listen to over and over
It's a banger :)
I just keep replaying video over and over
Myles Anderson me too! @Moog relieve us from our crying duty and give us the name to these banging beats!
Yeah so true I'm trying to find the one from 16:24, it's such a nice tune. Does anyone know the name. Tried Shazam but no luck 😭
@@hydrolics5449 the melody sounds like a synth cover of the Jurassic park theme
I just love that we live in an era where specialists can help via remote access in situations like this!
I have been watching this channel for over 6 years now and I have not missed an episode, in fact when I am falling asleep I find moogs music very therapeutic. MCM quality is second to none. Thanks for the hours of hard work. I along with many others can't get enough!
I actually have really enjoyed this series. Between rust, busted screws, and the having to take stuff in and out 5 times, this is the build that feels most relateable.
If this series taught me anything, never buy an MR2. RIP Marty.
I know right. I feel like this is just the beginning though.
I want one even more now.. hopefully this makes the prices drop a bit
Or buy the MR2, that hasn't been hacked one million times.
Same bro...
Great cars all the same, you do have to fight them constantly but hey
I thought, " he's not going to smell that seat bottom. No way, he's not.. ooooo man. He did." Got in there deep too. That's a level of dedication you won't see every day.
I would of put down my wallet and paid him 100000 Rupiah to lick it.
Lmfao🤣
I´m absolutely amazed with Marty´s ability to overcome obstacles without getting frustrated, and basically always getting shit done. You are amazing dude...
Seeing Marty fabricate stuff and sorting out ecu wiring is so satisfying. I followed mcm since they modified cars in the driveways and their skills have just exploded while staying true to their humble beginnings.
You guys are true legends and an inspiration to all of us DIY’ers. Keep the projects coming boys!
This is one of my favorite MCM projects yet. It's nice when things go well, but it's even more interesting when there is some (or in this case a lot) of adversity. Awesome job getting this thing running!
11:35 1st time I've every heard Moog genuinely say "Marty" instead of "Martin"
This is proof that persistence pays off! Working with older vehicles will always bring out little gremlins. But the look on Marty’s face after the first start up is a great example as to how all the vehicular battling is worth it in the end! 🤘🤘
Wiring is a helluva job. Have to salute you for doing such a great job. Awesome to see this cool car rescued and restored. So many setbacks but you stayed positive and completed the job. Much respect.
Moog, you,ve outdone yourself with the soundtrack for this episode! Total banger as the kids would say.
Marty great work getting Mr. Poo put together!
T swift should be proud
Thanks guys. I'm having a difficult period in life right now (mentally) and seeing a new video of yours really brings me some happiness and peace inside.
been to something like that too and when i watched vids like this, it helped a lot. hang in there mate, just like that song: "and if you're feelin alone, just keep on drivin'' (Horizons -Moog)
@@jayzzzz6679 thanks man! Very kind words of you :)
Hang in there fellow MCM friends!
Keep at it dude. We're all with you.
Bad times are a blip mate, keep going and you will find yourself back on your path, much love.
These guys are so gifted in modifying cars, they could make millions by tuning cars for people like tuning garages all over the world. Instead, they make free content for us, there is so much stuff to learn from this channel, they truly are some of the best UA-camrs in the world.
Marty, I know this may not mean much coming from a random guy on the internet, but coming from season 1 episode 1 to what you've done on your own for this car, makes me extremely proud of the progression you've made. Good Work.
Mr Marty has come a long long way in his ability!!..kudos my man
I would have given up when the fuel system started pissing. Mad respect to Marty!
Dude you are an automotive genius. I'm in awe of just how much you know and how you can just put all this together and make whatever parts you need from scratch.
Well done Marty. You have come a long way on your own initiative.
You will have much to be proud of no matter the outcome of the race in the rain.
Thanks for sharing.
That subtle "found in the bedroom" was glorious.
Marty's face after he said that what priceless!
Does any body else think these two have fallen out with each other a bit....
Wiring does your head inn,but when it works you feel absolutely delighted.........
28:15 Scotty has logged in and taken control.
Scotty is the Illuminati
IllumiScotty...
Not really. But I would like to think he's got scottish ancestors... ;)
Jim : Scotty I need more power....
Scotty : Damnit Jim I'm giving her all she's got....
LMFAO...
This is one of the best MCM episodes ever! Love the initial remote tuning with Scotty via cell phone and remote access to laptop! It doesn't get any better than this for petrolheads!
The montage in the middle was awesome and moogs music was just divine!
The Effort of Marty on this nugget is incredible, maybe its a keeper? Maybe is the Next too sexy? Hmmmm
As much as these cars are a nightmare to work on, it's hard not to get attached the moment you take (a modified) one for a spin. The engine so close to your ear holes singing the song of its people, the responsiveness on the road, the fact the cockpit feels like it's giving you a big hearty grandma hug whenever you're in it, and the occasional reminder that it's a mid-engined car that weighs about as much as a feather and will happily spin you around to face the wrong way if you get overly aggressive with the go pedal.
MR2Sexy
I'd call it TooComplexy, everyone is a carboi until they have to work on MR platforms.
@@lordgoofus2364 Yeah i think that could be the case, but the rev1's like Marty has are known to be a bit more snappy on the stability side which was sorted out in the rev 2 and 3's, the Mk2's also aren't that light because the were the largest and widest of the MR2's, they weigh 1260kg even though its a 2 seater, that's the same as a Sierra Cosworth or early awd Impreza turbo as you have to remember they have more bulkheads than your average car which adds to the weight, half bulkhead at the front of the tub where the rads are, the firewall infront of the driver, the bulkhead behind the driver, the bulkhead between the engine and boot then then the rear panel at the bumper making it 5, the sierra has the firewall infront of the driver and rear bumper panel in comparison.
I've had 2 MR2's a MK1 and MK2, and yes even though i liked them to drive as marty is experiencing they are a bit of a pig to do anything on...in saying that my FN2 type R is kinda the same due to how tight the engine bay clearance and has fought me in most things ive had to do to it so its all horses for courses, them's the joys of cars
"most came with targa tops that leak heaps of water" *starts shaking head in agreement*
maxgamingyt3 owned an sw20 targa, can confirm, nothing like getting rained on inside your car.

Have a 253k mile del sol. Can confirm.
@@DieselMr2 Mine leaked until I bought new rubbers, it didn't leak after that.
Marty, I loved this episode. We really got to see the depth of your knowledge toward the end of the vid. Congrats on getting it sorted.
man. you know what job anxiety is. I've been dreading diving back into my wiring harness and putting it off. You reminded me how simple it really is and I'm diving right back into my harness. cleaning up and wiring VVT and EBC. Thanks for the regular good content.
When Moog said he'd give Marty a hand, I seriously wondered is he'd also be lending a toe.
Something about this episode feels different... in a good way. really loved it guys. Thanks for keeping us entertained during these hard times!
More hand held camera, longer cuts, in general it left itself more time for everything.
Great build fellas! I like the addition of more DIY fab...it's been great to see your capabilities and projects grow over the years.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into making and editing these videos. Incredible.
Hey marty, Another thing I can suggest you do to your engine is the "Extra stud mod" for your 3SGTE. My buddy's got a Caldina and had endless issues with warped exhaust manifold mounting before he did that mod. Basically Toyota cut costs and left a spare hole for an exhaust stud. You add this weld-in plate to your exhaust flange, get the flange machined and then fit the stud to the spare hole to make a more secure fit for your exhaust manifold. Less blown gaskets and such.
This MR2 has aged marty 10 years.
TheZmt325 no life did that
Good effort, all that work coming together must be so satisfying, I can’t wait to see this running and on the track
It's great to see a car in this state of repair getting the MCM treatment, this is normal over here in the UK. Really gave me the motivation to get back into restoring (fighting) my Focus RS mk1. You guys are killing it keep it up.
0:33 Moog can’t contain it. “My car is finished.”
"it's an old lady knee pads that I found in Marty's bedroom."
Poor Cheryl.
edit: posted that before I saw the "thanks, Cheryl" message.
As a 40+ year old, those knee pads are great. But I've got pads that actually attach to the legs. I can shift around and not worry about needing a second knee surgery!
Your guys work had always been amazing, but I can't believe how far you've come in even just the past few years! Keep up the sick edits, shoots, cars, mods, etc. mates!
“That I found in Marty’s bedroom” .. I don’t laugh easily, but that was slick😂😂😂
Another brilliant episode, and I'm eternally grateful that I get to watch this for free. Truly awe inspiring stuff, thank you, and keep it up :D
the heart and love that goes into this show makes me happy to be a subscriber. You guys have given me the confidence to do a little work on my car as well! still dont have the know how to mess with the engine yet but its an n/a 01 forester so its not worth it. one day maybe a ez30 and sti 6spd swap if im lucky!
When the car started I nearly cried for Marty's part. He really worked his ass off. Congrats and good wiring again mate lol
Great editing of this one showing the work put in...
The song that’s playing around the 19 min mark is sooo fire! Wish it was available for download.
Do you know what it's called bud?
Got to say, it’s been pretty amazing how Marty’s skills have developed over the years!
Marty's transformation is FIRE!!! Straight. Up. Inspiring.
1 thing I’ve always loved “Marty” car mods for is the very informative information, I now know how to explain automotive seats to my partner and why I needed to upgrade them
Appreciate the strategically placed HyperRev magazine talkin' about the Subaru Legacies in the background of a shot. That magazine is good stuff.
You guys are all legends!! All my kids are going to grow up watching your channel. Thank you for all of your content. 👏
This is one of my fav episodes, thanks for the amount of time you spent on that car !!!
On the second half of this video with Marty you can tell how much he listened and learned from Turbo Yoda 👍 from the wiring to welding etc... It reminded me of watching Turbo Yoda on previous builds & the skid factory. Enjoyed that episode 😎
Greetings fron Saskatoon, Saskatchewan!
Don't worry aboot us aussies. Some of us can pronounce suss-cat-che-wan. :)

@@rtmpgt There are like 9 ways of pronouncing it in Canada and at least 2 common within Sask. itself so... not too worried.

To quote an electrical engineer of my acquaintance "The electrons don't care what the wire looks like"
Angry pixies don't care which road they take either...
I've been the technician who's added different colour wire into a loom. Sorry Marty!!
Continuity checks confirm wires a lot quicker, but could overlook harness shorts...
This so satisfaying to watch! the rearranging of the wires it looks so clean now
This is amazing, and Scotty configuring the ECU via TeamViewer is simply a testament to how far technology has gone and how useful and practical it has become. This is a milestone MCM episode!
nice vid Marty! love it when you're genuine and relaxed and get all tech

i am so overjoyed for you. this car and series definately has some solid drama and makes you work for it. thorougly invested. hearing it turn on and catch. amazing.
These are the best types of episodes, lots of good info, need more like this
This is awesome. It's so much more work than it looks like - having done a z31 megasquirt conversion I can see that this one is a moderate amount more painful.
Congrats Marty! You're really getting deep into this one - I bet you're going to get attached.
Music in the episode was *on point!*
Loving the series, all that hard work makes me root for the little MR2 =)
I really enjoyed this video. Love the deep dives and montage work!

That look of pure happiness and satisfaction when the car starts... Onya Marty. Hard work paid off.
Marty is now Turbo Skywalker!.. Trained by Turbo Yoda in a hot and humid shed! It's becoming pretty damn clear that Marty has paid effing good attention. This is almost a complete rebuild with all the proper hard parts. Custom wiring, plumbing, fabrication and ECU set up. WELL DONE MARTY!... May the boost be with you!
Hey guys, I'm digging some of the new music. Especially the track that starts playing around about the 7 minute mark in this video.
Also I'm glad to see you guys getting into the mid-engine game a bit. I've had a handful of Pontiac Fieros over the years and have really enjoyed daily driving them. Hope you guys get a kick out of the MR2 when its all done!
"There's a few different ways to skin this axolotl" That needs to be on a poster!!!
that montage and music in the middle of the video was so good. Well done boys!
It's really cool to see just how much more knowledge and better Marty and Moog have gotten at doing their own work . Absolutely incredible :)
At this point I can't stop thinking, would've been a whole lot easier to drop the engine and work on it outside the car? Serious question, correct me if i'm wrong
Yeah for sure.
It always has worked for me,turbo remove and install would breeze by and I couldn't help thinking how easy it would have been with the wiring too,the MR2 would need less than 30 wires to run without issues.they could have removed TVIS.
Those bunch of injector wires could have been cut out the harness.
When a harness is about a metre long, then just do a new one plug to plug.
How could he have known that all of the things are broken?
@@boi9433 That's true, but since the first episode I though that would've been easier dropping the engine, Marty even mentioned it I think, mainly cause it looks like the mr2 assembly looks like a fwd but in the back, and not having steering parts in the way among with other parts you would normally have in an fwd configuration.
Moog: My Volkswagen that can be repaired with hammers is done.
Marty: I'm a bit behind you. I just have to recreate a 1990 wiring loom with a schematic written in Japanese and interface it with a 2020 Haltech while the fuel system becomes incontinent.
Fixable with hammers is why moon buggy deserves to win. Virtue of practicality.
I didn’t realise Issac was a hammer.
And what was with the coil catching fire lol
I guess I didn't watch that far in yet.
GREAT Video, Gentlemen! Been following for a couple of years and I love your content. Informative and fun!
