Watching that engine get reconditioned and shown all that love was so bloody satisfying. I love that nitty gritty engineering stuff.
You should see some of the rednecks that do automotive machining. You wouldn’t call them engineers 😅🤣😂
It really makes you appreciate the work that is put into reconditioning a engine.
Just a bit of love goes a long way.
Its machining not engineering 😉
Facts
Lenny is a really nice guy. One time I was out for drinks in a random Sydney suburb, and I had posted earlier in the Daihatsu group desperately searching for brake pads for my L200 mira. nek minut Lenny's driving in the middle of the night to deliver them to me, free of charge - while im plastered from a night on the piss. Absolutely a generous and kind hearted man.
This is why you guys are my favorite offroading channel!!!
Number one offroad channel on UA-cam by far 😎
I thought it was a trucking channel
4 by 4 lovers of the world: Unite!!!
I've been watching the show since the early days, and I love how you use the same songs for certain situations. The second I heard that song when the car didn't start, I knew that meant there were problems. Also when the car did start, I knew what song it was going to be. Keep up the great work boys
True mega fan here. That piece of music is called “It won’t start” and we use it whenever the car doesn’t start. You’re the first one to notice and comment. Good stuff!
@@mightycarmods awesome! That's so cool
Nice one sir 🤝 well spotted.
@@mightycarmodswas that song ever released? I've heard it since I was a kid in your videos and always try to find it and never can
Same with the one when the car starts
No they weren't, I've been watching these guys since Marty's very first liberty build( also the reason why I bought a 2002 GT legacy like 10 years back) ANYWAYS,
They use interim music for specific scenes and that are never released for full songs. Which in my opinion, some of the songs I'd keep on repeat or splice them together because they are SOOO GOOD.
It's the affordable car for the Top Gear star...innit?
Gotta be
I was thinking a roadkill (in Australia) collaboration finally or maybe some Donut collab
@@FenderBender503They already did a roadkill Collab.
When I heard Top Gear was coming back I started thinking this was going to be the track car
Did anyone else notice that moog threw a bit of extra special sauce on the music for this episode?
Sometimes its easy to overlook how talented Moog is, alot of making MCM really awesome to watch is the music, always on point! Love your work Moog!
Very kind. Thanks mate
Marty is a sound engineer too! They both work together to make a fantastic, TV quality production.
Oh i absolutely love the music on the show in general. I've had nearly all of the youtube releases on my playlists for as long as i can remember. I hope we'd get more of them released on youtube some day. Most recent favorites being 12:15 and 13:54 which i'm dying to hear from start to finish.
Moog Deserves a Grammy for all the amazing music hes made throught the years
Not really
@@samteks125 maybe not a grammy but mad respect for sure.. he did music to all 795 videos on this channel.. and you? what did you do?
@@frc7573Plus so much successful commercial work done! Ads and whatnot (liek mazda zoom zoom was huge even my small eastern european country as well!)
@@samteks125 he’s done work for major artist and major companies. Literally did the music for suburu for one of their car launches…
Just want to say Moog has been killing it with the music lately, been absolutly loving the melodic dubstep. Thankyou
2:25 - MOOG, this is next level music. Damn! Reminds me Tiesto on it's golden times. Keep that path and you will be a world hit on no time.
I'm amazed. lol
It seems to go on in another bit - do you know the track?
@@tylerc161fry that’s what I’m trying to figure out
Me too
surely someone finds it
With shazam? nope?
Thanks for the shoutout guys! Excited to see the final build!
I recently had to go to site for 3 and a half weeks. Before leaving, I got hold of seasons 3, 4 and 5 of MCM, loaded the dvds onto my phone and watched them on the planes and with my evening meals, after 13hr days- just keeping that smile on my face. I also got to watch Moog's story, on MCM2- smiles, tears, the works. But I suppose what's profound is there's been this transition, where I've been watching the old stuff- you two on a drive way, saying "Rick loves it"- and now my scenery has changed, I'm back home with my wife, watching the new stuff, but you are both still going strong on the Daihatsus, talking about the Blue Turd, but now you have a hoist. I was just watching the story of the Blue Turd!
Kinda crazy timing. Love the continuity and how the show is staying true to its roots. You guys rock.
that.........was bloody beautiful ♥
Is there new music in this episode??? I’ve been hoping for new Moog for so long!
Knew Dave was gonna turn up when Marty said that he was gonna do the wiring. 😂
Everyone needs a Dave.
Marty Cameo on Top Gear button....
Moog's music is always such vibes, I can't get enough been watching since the early Marty's mums driveway days, it doesn't matter that you now in a fancy unit with a lift the videos still hits with the same backyard feeling just as the rest of us we have all grown up, I used to work on the street with my car but now I'm older I have a unit myself and getting my lift this week!
Let's take a moment to give respect to all of the people coming together to help Marty and Moog make this happen.
You guys need to meet up with Dankpods and race his rebuilt nugget!
Dingus
LOVE what you bloody mates are doing for the car industry and for being the car resto video gods and you were even on the forefront in the very early days of UA-cam and even now you guys are bloody legends ! Daihatsu for the W !
Excited to be hearing new music here! Look forward to listening to it when it hits streaming platforms (hopefully)!
YESSS. FINALLY!! My first car is finally being modified. Well not literally my car but is very similar. Mine is a Daihatsu yrv with the EJ-DE engine, the same exact engine 😍😍
The talk of the true connotation of mighty is an important thought, we should all strive to be mighty in our own way in our own lives.
Love watching you guys, and giving me the motivation and confidence to work on things more advanced then a simple service!
Last weekend I removed the throttle and EGR on my diesel outlander and cleaned it all out as it was running rough, then put it back together replacing a leaking intercooler pipe.
Still runs like crap but at least the bost leak is fixed!
Next weekend im checking the turbo and DPF!
The lap of Australia in that is very ambitious, but seeing as your guys are the premium four wheel drive channel in Oz , it’s good that you can dispel the myth that you need all wheel drive to do a lap . Good on you , and can I have your postie bikes if you don’t make it ?
I love ❤ the support form your sponsorships! Because you all have worked so hard to get to this point. Keep it up 😎
I have been watching from the early days and you guys just get better and better. Can't wait to see what you're up to.
First class content as usual
There is a super chill beat playing in the background during the opening of the video (before the cut to the start of working on the engine) and it's just super tight. i really like it
I also have a 3 cyl 1L engine in my car, glad to see some work on small engines, not all those LS swaps.
I started watching you guys when I found the blue turd videos. It is still one of my favorite series on your channel. I like small cars especially when they are faster then they should be or were designed to be.
You guys are so great to watch thanks for sharing your story and videos 👍
i watched the garden edging body kit vid way back when, love your stuff then & still do . thank you.
Mad respect, 1 of the best episodes 👏
Love that you're back making Daihatsu shitboxes awesome again. Adore those little cars. Also love that there's someone like Lenny out there showing 'em some love too. Top lad!
Haltech owns these blokes😂
Boys, you broke my heart, I own one of the Jaguars ( S type ) that was in the clip of Sting's desert rose and it is magnificent!
Keep up the awesome work!!
Been watching you guys for 15 years. I can't believe it's been so long. Keep up the epic content guys.
Here's to another 15
I am a new subscriber but i already watched most of the old builds and mad stuff you guys did in the past and am loving it keep it up guys, found you a litle bit late but better than never🙌🏼🙌🏼 Also maybe 2Sexy coming with some power ups new setup same as VTEC Mini in near future?
Daves "Hey Cheech whatchya doin man?" 😂
Best offroading video on YT today
Production quality is amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Needs a 30 degree backcut on that valve grind. Extra .005 horsepowers right there.
Okay, that Rod Steward pun joke was actually a good one. You got me there.
That late Sunday drop. Thanks you guys for all your hard work! ¡Saludos desde Puerto Rico!
It's a Monday morning drop here in Australia 😅
This is why you guys are my favorite best motorcycling adventure channel!!
You guys are so far out, that you’re back in again with this Daihatsu. Love it!
Way back in the day I binged all your videos including this one and the miss daisy series to get through a cad project in about 48hrs. Awesome to see this car getting some love
Awesome ❤❤❤❤ .. waiting for the next video of this lil daihatsu and some more video on the EK hatch back
If you keep doing these kind of projects I think I may finally start watching regularly again. Nice job guys
It's crazy I just checked to see if I missed a notification for a video and 25 seconds later there it is. BOOM video
Love your show keep up the amazing work you guys
You guys are amazing! Cheers from Pennsylvania 🤪
Awesome a proper car show you guys are the best.
Seeing these engine rebuild montages and then hearing moog talk about playing these games reminds me of the old gt2 intro video. The one where you basically get a full internal view of a combustion cycle.
My first car was a Daihatsu Charade nugget. I loved that thing. It was like a Tardis in the way I could pack stuff into it. It went mudding in alpine fields in the depths of winter too. Engine finally went on it. Wish I could have given it a Viking funeral.
The best - I absolutely love the nugget episodes❤
Marty I am sorry, I love you dearly as well... BUT MOOG, Blair... your soundtracks transform the everyday mechanical montage into a truly metaphysical experience. I will proudly display my framed miss daisy poster in my new home. It arrived a couple days after my current house burned entirely. I am keeping it safe in the great packing tube you sent. One of my soot smudged fingerprints is on the edge and it will make it mine.
Thank you!
@@mightycarmods pretty please release the track around 2:30 its so good
love the engine build, I see another track day coming up haha. I would love to see a how to rebuild a bottom end video from you guys
Please keep doing this project. Thank you MCM!
that engine refresh as asmr af
Really enjoyed this episode!!!
Not sure if somebody already pointed this, but the background music on MCM videos is just brilliant
Great job guys 👌💯
I did basically this in my s13 with a ka24de. still has egr and smog shit on (except the cat) and a megasquirt ecu with accompanying sensors. Having a blast tuning it myself and the KA woke up!
Haven't watched it yet, saw the title, liked it straight away
This car is going to be the "hot lap in a crap car" on the Aus version of Top Gear, I'm telling you now!
Wow i never catch mcm posted this fast love u guys
been a supporter a fan and fellow petrol head since day much respect too see how far you guys have grown too many more years
Insane content as always , keep it up gents !
Never thought id hear MCM use the sentence "we arent chasing extra power". 😂😢
Long time fan, first time commenting.... you guys just made my day!
Looking at doing a future conversion from an ED-20 to a EJ-DE to my '97 Daihatsu Move in the future.
Just stuck trying to find appropriate wiring for it, but so far its current engine has done a solid 207,000km and is still going strong.
Definitely keen to give it my best, but its hard to find the time/space considering its my daily runner.
I was a lucky man to find an L701 with only 30k miles and no rust back in 2020.
"The Little Dipper" is white and has been my daily for the last 3 years. Lowers springs for 1.5 inches of an arch gap and 175 Falken all-seasons make is stable when near it's top speed 😉🫡
I'm gonna call it now ! Itll be a bike engine in the rear for mad skids and drifting, then recon engine up front for eco daily driving
NEEEEEEEEED to know the song when Marty was doing wiring. It's so relaxing!
Is Blair planning on releasing some of these tracks? I’d personally love a ep with some of these tracks on it ❤
Good ad for Haltech !
Love the nuggets! All your sponsors do too!
That engine montage didn't need to go so hard, but i'm glad it did. I'd watch that shit all day.
Informative vlog 👍
Just watched episode 1 again and discovered the main thing missing in MCM2023 is the lack of ambient cicada noise in the Super Garage
Good to see all that. Was kinda hoping race car meant good engine but still a good vid.
Yes! my favorite channel put out a new video 😄
The Haltech ECU, dash, and other gadgets are worth many times the value of the Nugget they are going into! That’s the most MCM thing and I love it!
I've been watching you guys since before I had a driver's license. Matt from Matt's off-road recovery on UA-cam is having a UA-camr event. I would love to see you two back in the States for that event!
Anyone know which song starts at about 2:25? Or is it an unreleased Moog track? I recognize the later part of it but didn’t know if it was published anywhere!
Yep would love to know too!
Was also looking for this answer.
I'm pretty keen to see how this corners at speed :D
Nugget with chips (silicon ones) what a afternoon delight. thanks boys!
You guys have the best music.
The best 4x4 channel ever!!
Love what you boys are still doing ❤❤❤
I was sorta expecting a lil turbo from something like a DIAH Copen or something similar. Keep up the great work guys. Best car show on ya UA-camz!!
I have an L701 as my daily and a Copen that is absolutely rotten with rust. Looks forward to getting it on the road, as qith the twin factory X-brace, was able to throw it into roundabouts at 60kph with no hassle.
Even on 165 tyres, she drives like she's on rails 🗣‼️👍
keep up the amazing work you guys!!! We have huge community for Daihatsu Mira in Malaysia...You're welcome to visit our car Culture
Nice to see a shot out to Perodua Kelisa!
Glad ive started watching mcm again.
i will never get tired of the goat thing.
My favorite channel on UA-cam.
Gotta say: that home made music makes the absolute best montage music 👌😍
A proud Perodua Kelisa owner here! Mine is still running like a champ, eventhough the exterior looks quite 'old'
Honestly, Nothing is perfect, Realistically you're bound to mess something up when doing this, the utter skill it takes to only mss up one thing like that engine mount. its pretty whatever, very realistic, no crazy sema shit having everything perfect. I love the honesty, +1000% watching enjoyment
Awesome !
I'm not sure what the end game is, but that crap still bolted to the roof with make it as aerodynamic as a tree 🌳🌴🌲
Yep, that crap on the roof needs to go in the bin.
never been this early. Still the best 4x4 channel by far
