You guys should've thrown in some of that Dynamat also on the roof. That is the biggest single panel that vibrates in that car. It makes a huge difference :)
@@maverickwest81 Yes the foam, I mean the "heavy" 2mm thick butyl rubber that actually takes off the vibrations like they did on the side panels and doors. The foam works on the wind noises etc.
If you ever run into a really cloudy or cracked plastic lens use paint clear coat and they come out like new
@@maverickwest81 The car might be tiny but the roof panel is huge piece of it and like I said it's the biggest single panel in the car. I did my mk1 Caddy roof with 2mm Dynamat Xtreme and then 15mm dynamat foam and it made huge difference. Also the 2mm "thick" Dynamat doesn't weigh that much which is great.
Get home from work.
Nothing on TV.

When the whole internet is picking up Gallardos and the like to improve their number of views, MCM is assembling a nugget and trumps them all.
...combined, that is. 👍🏻
THIS
Totally agree, these aussies are my favs by far. I'm hoping every day for a new vid to pop up. Keep it up guys
You definately need to send a pic of this to Mr Sato.
www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
yes!!!
Totally
I dont think he will be very much impressed, I've done this to my car also and the 1 man company that sold it to me wasnt very excited about it :I
Tacitus Kilgore yeah but Sato sold them the car as a joke and it was supposed to go to the scraper
The trick is not to build yourself a mad nugget such as the one we see here, but to find yourself a friend as good as Marty and Moog have.
I hear tht i always work alone but i suppose thts better then drinking alone 🤣
3 minutes in and theres a fake wang.....10/10 car guy humor

LMFAOOOOOO
JDM wang that is :D

Ed China would be cringing so hard at that tub of bolts and washers. Can see him screaming 'BAG AND CATALOGUE!' haha
Brandon Cook , me too!
The unemployed edd China
Barry Britcher actually he’s got his own garage. Just cos he’s not on tv anymore...
everyone should be cringing at the tub of bolts, it is like they have never heard of bags and labels
I could make a trade with MCM. A crapload of small plastics bags for an MCM badge or something of equivalent value. LOL
(Plastics bags are a consumable item where I work and we have at least 9 different sizes that we use from small, 2" x 2", to huge, 40" x 46". Yeah, US measurements for the bags as metric measurements are used for other items where I work.)
Disappointed we didn’t get to see how many screws were leftover.

There's always one

25:22 just those 2.
@@theginjaninja132 theres always one.... *box of assorted screws that seemingly have nowhere to go*
@@theginjaninja132 Think of all the weight you've saved though!
The look of joy on Marty’s face through this whole episode is epic, now that’s how everyone should feel working on your project car. Great job
Southeast Asia also produced something you Aussies might appreciate: a ute version of the Mira.
It was the Thailand wing, and they used the previous-generation model. They offered both a single and an extended cab, and production lasted until early 1998.
We have the mighty boy.great 3 cyl sound.
I must find one of these
I've seen a really mad ute version Mira in Chiang Mai, that city in particular had heaps of Mira's driving around for some reason as well as old school Mazda utes which I've never seen before either.
In Thailand we have quite large community of mira owner (about 40k peoples )
ute mira? Now i actually want one
Around the 6min mark, the jokester disappears for a second and the audiophile/musician comes out as he eagerly explains how hes going to make it sound better. LOL
It's stuff like that which made me sub to this channel in the first place, the jokes are good but showing what a mod like that is doing makes total sense. I'd do it to my own version of the Blue turd if it wasn't so much of a lemon
I love it when channels let their presenters do that; go from acting the fool to demonstrating just how much they actually know in their field of expertise.
See also Slo-Mo Guys when Gavin, who spends most of his time acting like the class clown, switches on and demonstrates just how much he knows about slow-motion cinematography, or Dan steps up to demonstrate how much he knows about military equipment and explosives (Dan's usually the dummy/guinea pig for their antics, but he's also a former bomb-disposal technician).
that gear stick Joke... I laughed out loud!!! bravo lads!
Although I rarely laugh at dick jokes, I also found this one really funny.
Much love and respect from a Kelisa (Mira L700 (Licca) ) owner you guys need to come down to Malaysia for Art Of Speed next year
Otak kau kelisa kancil ah

Mark D cool mark thanks for sharing
Oh, hi Mark
This is now the nicest Mira in the world. Phenomenal.
Plastic bits on the winter wipers is to prevent ice from getting into the bendy bits that distribute the pressure across the whole blade.
+
Yep, if you don't you have to periodically grab the wiper blade and let it slap down to break the ice out, just don't hold onto it you'll strip out where the wiper arm bolts down and you will really lose your wiper.
Winter wiper ?
I know it's been said, but you guys are so inspirational. Taking the time to painstakingly film, edit and upload your whole working lives with cars.
Your passion is infectious and you inspire and motivate me to get off my arse and and work on my own cars. That's all I can say.
Thank you.
your welcome Marty and Moog.
From Sabah, Malaysian citizens
and currently me driving a new car from Perodua Kancil (known as Nippa in UK) to Perodua Viva (rebadged from Daihatsu AVY), so me this car I want to keep the body standard Perodua Viva (no modification) but the interior of my car, I gonna change a little bit like changing all the dashboard and the seats which currently not holding properly my body while I was driving.
Nothing better than a slow car that feels like your doing 300 MPH all the time.#GOKARTLIFE
7 reasons why a Yaris is Speshul............
1/ Ummmmmm
2/ Yeah I still got nothing
Should be 0 reasons
1) It was my mums car since 2005
2) It was the car I was borrowing from her since I was 18 years old until I bought my MX-5 as 23 years old
3) Thus it was the car I did my first mods on... which practicaly means ruining it mostly :D
4) Since it was "my first car" pretty much I learned a lot from it
5) Even I had my MX-5, I often borrowed Yaris because I needed more room or it was winter
6) It always was a nice car to drive even it was 1,0l
7) It still drives very well today.
why yaris are so great, because s Toyota made. I have seen one has 389xxxkm age and still run pass my ride.
Yaris eerr pppph
My work car 2005 Yaris sedan. Had 980,000kms and still going strong when it was retired last month. Went to Toyota Canada museum. Original engine and trans. Basic maintenance only.
Man the Mira has got to be my favourite project MCM has ever done. I love the 240z, but this was so much more work, and it has quite the story behind it. I'm so excited to to see the final product.
Mira Vs Yaris?
Yep, I'll watch the hell out of that.
Mira vs March super turbo?
Google WRC Yaris...
He should get an 80s Honda City to put the motocompo on the back of and race the 2. Or each get a modern nugget car, Honda Jazz vs Toyota Yaris.
I want to see the Mira vs Mini.
@@jamesmichie7980 yeah because everyone has 100k to waste on a rally car ...
20:16 you're welcome ☺️
I used to drive a Kancil few years ago ~
Me: I have nothing to do...
MCM: Hold my nugget!
Yaris owner here :p
1) It's a slightly bigger nugget, you'll have *some* leg room! Some people think they used TARDIS technology to make it bigger on the inside.
2) It's super easy to dismantle and out back together
3) Fairly low-tech for its time, so not too many fancy parts to fail
4) Awesome aftermarket support (popular modding car here in Thailand, probably as many aftermarket parts here as you found for the Kancil in Malaysia)
5) The MK2 has been out nearly 15 years now, there are no major failure points apart from water pumps which can often start leaking, the car will probably outlive many of us
6) People look at it and don't expect it to be fast, so it's a surprise when one is
7) Pretty good handling out of the box, many US owners autocross them to great success
And remember... You Are Riding In Style ;)
Perodua Kancil aka Mira is really famous in Malaysia! One of the best car ever!!
MALVIN SINGH mira = kalissa paradua ?
@@NIEL304 Perodua Kelisa is the one we always converted them with YR-V xD
@@NIEL304 nope, Perodua Kancil. Kelisa more like Daihatsu Mira Cuore
Indeed, my friend
Those winter wipers are a godsend. The rubber cover keeps them from freezing up in the framework. They've also got a softer rubber compound for cold weather.
This is the only series we need until it is finished, love me a good mira 🔥
Just in case you're wondering, the winter blades for the windscreen wipers are shielded to prevent snow from getting between all the hinged bits that keep even pressure across the blade.
I can tell you from experience that bad things happen when the heat from the windscreen melts the snow, and then the wind rushing across the bonnet freezes it again. You quickly waste all of your washer fluid trying to melt the snow, followed by all of your time stopping every five miles to smash out the ice.
Long story short, always spend the extra buck on season-appropriate wipers and tires.
Im from malaysia man. I have been your fan since 2010. Nice jobs. Love your guys video and content. ❤️❤️
G C where is it malaysia
The smiles on your faces, show how much you enjoy the work you have done. I love this build. You took something most people would turn their noses at, and turned it into a jewel! Thanks for posting! Love the channel!
Legends will have to stop work to watch now haha
I was in the middle of a 36 hour day of work, clean/babyproof the 1st floor of the house, work. Got the alert that new MCM viddy, and said loud and proud "Break Time, Marty and Moog take precidence for the next 15-30 min.
"the glass is all cleaned up" puts hand print on clean window.
the correct pronunciation is 'Kan - chill' (Kancil).
over in Malaysia, C is used more like a Z,J,G sorta sound, not S.
Big love from Malaysia! Loving this whole episode!
NanaWitch thank you for that, now I know what to search to get parts for my Centro/Mira.
@@jacob.s3619 welcome! the brand is Perodua and the car name is Kancil !
Marty you're always so enthusiastic and happy when it comes to your little nuggets I love you guys dedication to your fans and the hobby thanks for everything this far and I can't wait for more.
All other car youtubers: REMOVE SOUND DEADENING FOR WEIGHT DROPS!!!!
Mighty Car Mods: Add more sound deadening!
the latest boostedboiz video was exactly that
I've got two civics that are gutted and suprise suprise... Now I want one that has a full interior..
It's about the duality of man Sir!
@@johnblackstone5261 Maybe shouldn'tve done both of em 🤣
That's the thing about MCM, they build badass cars that you can drive on the street and enjoy, but still take to the track.
They rarely build pure track cars, but when they do, they do gut them out and remove weight. 2Sexy?
Obviously they do other cool offroad only shit too.
I too own a couple of nuggets that got the same treatment as this Mira. Over time the passion faded as so happens with growing up, but every time i watch these videos i can't help going out and painting the town SUTUTUTUTU. Cheers for the awesome builds mcm!
Perodua Kancil is best of the best car.we as malaysian very proud of it bcoz we can owned it at affortable price especially low income family.
for anyone out there watching, take it from me as I learned the hard way on sound deadening mats: get the good stuff, Dynamat or Raamat. If you live anywhere that the summer temperatures get hot, the backing glue on the cheaper stuff will eventually goop up and slide down and fall off eventually in the heat, and when it gets wrapped up in you window when you roll it down, you'll be wishing you'd spent a little extra on the good stuff
Thank to you guys,i have motivation to work hard and rebuild my perodua kancil (can-chill) ! Thank you Mighty Car Mod!!!
Marty's level of excitement when he sat in it is why I watch all these videos. Makes me happy seeing someone else so amped up
Todays question: ......In kilograms how much weed had Nathan smoked before re-fitting the doors?
11:59 Straight as an arrow. lol
My scales dont go that high. 😂
He definitely took 2 marijuanas before
Yes
I like the little touch of using period-correct music for videos with long-term MCM cars.
100% this! Love the mcm music Moog puts together. Brings me right back to the special this little nugget is from. ♥️
10:24 what a wasted opportunity, why didnt you add some piano sound effects for when marty was tapping the door that was propped up exactly like a keyboard?
re upload with the necessary fix or I unsubscribe.
Car's & mods like this make my day all the time.
Ughhh, I was about to go to bed!!!!! Well looks like 30 more min wont hurt.
Same! so much for sleep haha. Must see MIRA completed!
Thank you guys for following through with this project. Legendary.
@27:23 NOOOOO!
Now impatiently awaiting the next episode.
P.s. keep up the great work
Its amazing to see how much this car means to Marty other people would look at that when it was all rusted and slow and full of bog it would of been worthless and crushed but you can tell especially it the film he fell in love with it straight away and for Moog to import it for him and surprise him with it was a lovely thing to do definitely the bestest friends in the world. The car looks great now btw its beautiful. And i suppose its not just the car its the memory made in Japan that makes it priceless to Marty and that's why we get these sick episodes!.
How to trigger a Malaysian
Pronounce Kancil as Cancel.
Kancil as Can't Chill not Cancel lol
@@lplplplplplplplpable Exactly, but can't be mad. MCM giving the Malaysian a small shoutout yo
Mate, the music was off the charts on this one. I give it the mid 90s clubbing seal of approval
I have been waiting all week for this. Never so happy to see a UA-cam notification 😂🤙
This is my favorite build of the show yet. I remember crying when Moog told Marty it was on a truck headed to Import Monster. 12/10 bromance goals here. You guys are absolute legends.
Sama-sama (you're welcome), from Malaysia. Awesome build guys. 👍
Basically a mira is called kancil in malaysia and this is the cheapest old car in here too. Most pp dont really appreciate the rebadged mira and use it as beater car. Its good to see there is a famous youtube channel building it
ugh, what a cliffhanger. I wanna see what happens next. It's more suspenseful than watching Stranger Things
This kills because I want to see the mira back together. It does look like a brand new car after the paint. Can't wait to see the next episode.
Malaysians hearing they bought a kancil headlight:
Nice
lol as a malaysian I love this series, but Marty really butchered pronouncing Perodua and Kancil tho I pronounce it pero-dewa & can-chill
@@spookyguy__ ikr
@@spookyguy__ they aren't even from malaysia ... chill the fuck down plebs.
This is sooo much more fun to watch than those Lambo builds you see every youtuber do just to get more views. MCM rocks!
Perodua Kancil is not pronounce 'cancel', it more like 'cant-chill'. hahaha
Yes, indeed
I was just about to comment about that pronunciation. Marty absolutely butchered it 😄
Aku rse diorang pon mmg xleh tahan gelak bila sebot actual pronounciation Kancil tuh coz it sounds like cu*t hahaha
Yepp correct...
Yea that right
Hey guys, I'm from Malaysia, and I'm a fan of your channel since day, love what you guys did to the little nugget. I'm going to restore one as soon as i get the budget for it. Looking forward to see your next project guys. With love from Malaysia!
I have a confession...I hit like before even watching your vids 😲💪
Good to see I'm not the only one who replaces every fastener with stainless steel when I have a chance. The heat, humidity and salt are not kind to fasteners around here.
What's happening with the beautiful 240z?
Great work guys, keep it up. :)
There will be more of that soon!
Mighty Car Mods can’t wait 😁
Something that helps when fitting parts held on with double-sided tape is to cut the tape too long. You then have a couple of pieces hanging off. Cut the extra foam and adhesive from the extra backing, leaving the backing. Fit the parts without removing the backing and you can get the fitment perfect. Then use your handy tabs to pull the backing off while the part is in place.
I wonder how many of us have half finished project cars sitting in the garage whilst watching this that have been there since Moog and Marty showed us how to pimp a red Daihatsu Cuore for under 500 bucks? 🤔
*raising hand* (its drivable, but could have its oldtimer license plate for 2 years now..)
On yr 8,motor still out after a year.lol
Hell I haven't even started. She's just sitting in the driveway
Who else just hopped on Amazon or AliExpress and bought an assortment of stainless steel nuts and bolts? ....got damn’it MCM your show is too damn good and makes me just want to take my car apart and put it back together with new, better and / or restored parts!
Btw. Kancil is pronounced “Kan-Chill”
i love that you guys are being perfectionists about this build.
You guys should do a quick update in the next unicorn circuit of the current situations of your cars.
Jarek Walls If they ever do another Unicorn Circuit!!
When you guys sit down in the car together, the look on Marty’s face is awesome! He looks like the happiest kid in the toy shop! 😁
I've been waiting for this forever!
Yeah
Mira Is looking Fabulous Just finish buttoning it all up. Can't wait till its finished roof lining & repaired trim Its going to be mad. Glad Marty has a soft spot for it. Little Aussie Follower ....
i was expecting keyboard sounds when marty was stood with the door on the stand haha
This is still 1 of my favorite builds from MCM! Its been years in the making to let Marty have his lil nugget be what he wanted. Big ups and cant wait to see the Yaris build. Hopefully thats what Moog was going to get while Marty did the prep and paint.....
malaisia parts in a jdm car rebuild in australia sick !
On behalf of the Malaysian people, I say you're welcome. My mum use to owned one back in the 90s. Good and reliable car.
Never Been So Quick to watch this! MCM 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Your attention to detail always impresses me. You guys do incredible work
Yaris:
1. Lightweight
2. Reliable
3. Doesnt rust
4. With suspension mods its like a go cart in the bends
5. Fuel efficient
6. Cheap to run
7. It can be a sleeper ,no 1 expects it to be fast
While no one would suspect it, Imo it's uglier and I would find a better looking car as a sleeper.
@@nathanblackman1063 its your opinion and your taste. Its like music everybody likes different music.
I had an 02 plate yaris for about a year, ragged the shit out of it and it never died on me, it went sideways more than my mates mx5, some old biddy reversed into it while I was at work and wrote it off though R.I.P yaris
I would love to see what MCM can do with a Yaris. I have only ever rented a 2017 Yaris but was actually really surprised. Definitely feels like a go-kart in the corners and was surprisingly responsive. Would take a Yaris over a Suzuki Swift any day as it's way more fun to drive.

Won't the stainless bolts make it rust faster? Maybe not such a big problem in Australia, but here in Norway stuff rust much quicker if you have different metals together!
Salt on roads in Aus is a rarity or more likely a never happens. We just have gum leaves and gumnuts to fall into gaps and crevices of cars to solidify and hod moisture and rust from the inside out. Yet you are very right for certain conditions, like don't use stainless screws to hold a bras tap to the side of your house, cos bye bye brass.
Love the way they done the spoiler on this car and the body kit was a really cool car for a first car this would be sick
18:48 I was cringing.... that Allen/hex wrench came pretty close to hitting the new paint.
Looking marvelous. Love the extra effort for sound dampening, it will really bring the comfort levels up when driving in the motorway.
Phew. Dinner time was getting close and I had nothing good to watch.
Thanks MCM for saving me from having to watch Doug Demuro 😅
Im from malaysia, and i have kancil, and my kancil are super standard made in japan but assemble in malaysia , im so happy you do this video so i can improve the super standard kancil to better.. thanks bless mcm

"GIT'ER'DONE!!!!" The sweet satisfaction of building a car yourself is you did it! Now you want to keep the car for the rest of your life because of creating great memories.
ALWAYS TORQUE your seat belts to spec. NEVER skip safety.
YAWN...
Pretty sure they are torqued to spec
You mean finger tight, right?
@@TrashDeviant ease up there, don't want to over do it. Might strip the bolt
The rubber om winter whiper blades is to keep snow from jamming in all that loose space between. When you run summer whipers in winter around here in quebec, you sometime have to stop and knock the blades against the winshield to break the ice from them because you cant see through the windshield anymore.
Mates you had the roof and the quarter panel insulated, and you put back the carpet without having your pavement insulated?!?! 😭😭
Marty already put CarBuilders rubberised sound-deadener on the whole floorpan (front and rear) when they welded the Japanese floorpan in the original build series.
They did a spray-on insulator before paint
Every time I see Marty and Moog put in work on this car, it really makes me happy thinking that I'm not wasting my time and effort on my own little nugget. Sure it's not a Mira, but a lot of people ask me "why" when I talk about my plans for my car
Do what makes you happy bro....don't worry about what others think. 👍
Carpet shampoo for the carpets - gets ride of a lot of strange odours and stains.
GordoWG1 WG1, yes, with a steam cleaner. I’ve rented one that really cleaned well and sucked any leftover moisture out of the carpets.
you can also simply use color washing powder. enzymes start working at 40°C so with hot water just fine,
if its not too wet or you put a catchbox in between, you can use a standard vacuum cleaner to suck out water+schmutz after brushing it in.
also works nicely on seats with undefined stains.
Really satisfying to see the Mira taking shape again! Keep this kind of stuff up, guys!
Seems like the hard way to detail your car but hey, you guys always go the extra mile (or 1.67 kilometers down there lol) for your projects.
