I Bought A Toyota Matrix XRS!
มุมมอง 96228 วันที่ผ่านมา
This 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS is a Corolla Hatch with a 173 hp 2ZZ motor. A little known hot hatch from the early 2000s, this thing has a slightly better power to weight than the EJ6 Civic Si. I bought one to use as a family car! This is the same car as the rebadged Pontiac Vibe GT!

This will resolve P0136! I searched for a video on which O2 sensor was bank 2 sensor 1 on the 4 cyl camry but didn't see one... so I made one. Hopefully this video is quick and helpful with just enough entertainment for a laugh! Part number for the 2004 car's sensor was 89465-06120 but for different years there are some different sensors. Please go to a Toyota dealer's website and get the right...

These "crash bolts" or camber bolts are used on E Street MR2 Spyders for some additional camber. These cars need negative camber for cornering as they have macpherson struts which cause camber loss when loaded up. twosrus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23_50&products_id=438

Just me cruising around on the VFR. I bought this bike basically because of how it sounds. V4s are awesome. Recorded the audio with a DR40x shoved under the passenger seat with the gain turned to zero. You can do the same with a zoom h1, or many other dynamic mics. Honestly, I'm considering selling it. I am not really a sport bike rider at heart despite how much I like sport bike engines, and I...

Ernie's daily driver failed and this is the replacement, but the CL is still in his stable as well. For now. I recommended a Honda Fit based on its reputation as a fun daily but had never driven one before. So of course it was time to hop in the fit and find out what it's really like. Check out my review!

I don't know what to say. The last two events were kinda bad for me but in the end I was able to best Ron... and was even 1 point away from tying 4th place in overall street points for the whole season. Pretty cool. Not everyone goes to every event but I guess it makes sense to get rewarded for actually trying. Next season beating Ron could prove to be extremely difficult... subscribe and find ...

Looks like she is absolutely capable of cruising on the highway at 70 to 80mph
@@nahanng7791 absolutely, but you'll not really be able to quickly pass anyone at that speed!
@ErikSeastead got it. But i also see you got to 70mph then proceed to get up to over 90mph. I think that would be sufficient enough to pass certain cars right? Of course not as easily like a 600cc or 1000cc for sure
Bringing more attention to a turd before polishing it.
I thought those were awd
There is an AWD version of the Matrix but it comes with a detuned 1zz and it's very slow. You could probably swap in a 2zz to the AWD chassis but I don't know how good the AWD is anyway. Could be an interesting build though.
Wow this kid is annoying
Im here for the matrix content 💪
lol I have a lifted sequoia and a matrix xrs.
nice dude! i also live in va. have a silver matrix xrs, and a yellow mr2 spyder w/2zz....
Damn, I got another buddy local with a yellow 2zz swapped MRS. We need to roll deep to meets and autox! Lol
This is INSANELY good! What a magical ear you have for music
@@vempyredark haha, thank you! My band, Eyes That See has an EP called Time on streaming platforms if you're interested! Thanks for commenting either way
Sorry my comment is a year late I just found this video I is there an update on the car?
We made a few more videos. You can check my project CL playlist!
Wait til you gotta buy parts for that .. I have a 99 and parts are scarce but sometimes you’ll luck out and find 1994-1997 accord parts cause they’re pretty much the same
Yeah parts have been a bit scarce for sure. But we aren't trying to restore it, so it hasn't been too bad just letting it be a beater.
Another superb video, Erik! Well edited & you remembered to provide the mm size for each bolt. Suggestion, respectfully: remember to include proper torque specs when indicated. Just 2 cents from an OG
As an OG of 70, married for 50, you married well, Erik! The fact that she’s supportive of your hobby/obsession is indicative of a nice, long marriage! Your driving confidence with the car is improving noticeably with each pass- congrats! enjoy your videos!
Yes, I’m jealous of your hair! I had as much as your age…enjoy it while you have some! I bought the first MR2 Spyder in Texas in 2000. Traded it for a BMW M3- kids! Now…I’m looking for another MR2 for weekend fun.
Nice video! I have an EX500 (2006) barn find that I picked up a while back, and its a work in progress, but low miles. How durable are the 250 engines known to be? I seem to see quite a few of them on Marketplace with "bad engines". Is that due to owner abuse or due to it being a fragile design? I'm curious as they kind of intrigue me and are cheap to buy.
@@JamesLaman-d1k I've not seen too many issues, and never had any myself. But, I also didn't put that many miles on the bike, just around 4,000. I liked my Ninja a lot but I wanted just a bit more oomph for highway duty. Always fancied trying an EX500! Hope you can get yours roadworthy soon.
I agree with your assesment about modifications. Keep it simple….do basic maintence and get to know the car first 🎉
Like it? I sold mine in April.
It's great! A little smaller than I expected in terms of the car seat. Shift action is pretty unfortunate... I'll try changing the fluid in the box but I'm concerned that some of the synchros are on the way out. That's my only problem with the car at the moment.
Spyder, Sequoia, AND a 2ZZ Matrix? This is a man of culture.
Haha early 00s Toyota is just so good
Can't hear it
xD
The subtle dry humor adds a nice touch. Good video guys.
My dad has two mk 3s, he's currently working on putting a turbo in one.
Id love to turbo my 1zz. But I think my long term plan is a 2AR swap.
Cool!🎉
y no stagger tires
@@trv88r Because we can only change one swaybar in E street. The front gets stiff so it would tend to understeer. The best way to increase front grip is to run bigger tires up front. The Spyder just happens to be well balanced on square tires.
I’ve been slowly rebuilding my first gen Tacoma and I’m wondering where you get your parts? Do you think you could put some links in the description? Love your videos! I’ve been learning so much and I love the whole troubleshooting process!
@@littleeggplantboi2572 I generally just buy Toyota parts from a dealer. I was originally planning on keeping this truck for a long time but I had two two seaters when I had my kid and I couldn't sell the MR2. I do really miss my taco. Maybe I'll get a double cab one day.
@@ErikSeasteadthank you!
This kid is an idiot, I wouldn't let him near my kids big wheel
i need to get the spyder done.. the sw is fun. but my gearing really hurts auto crossing.
@@001dman yeah the Spyder is perfect for autox
@@ErikSeastead i got the engine and the transmission... just need to get the mounts from marc... no stock classes for me though.
I'll be dying to get a ride in that thing when you're done with it.
@@ErikSeastead I’ll likely have it at bear mountain with the other 2 next year if I find a 3rd deiver
Make Marc come with you. Maybe I should drag my whole family... Lol.
Holy shit... My appreciation towards Doom and Quake got even more amplified after experiencing Metroid Prime's shitty easter eggs. I mean... WTF?!
@@HeathenDance yeah?
If you are doing tight stuff you really want an LSD out of our UK factory spec MR2's we got here.
@@threepotMR2 not allowed to modify the diff in this class unfortunately
@@ErikSeastead What about fitting a full UK spec gearbox?
Super extra illegal. Even if I had a whole UK car it would be considered to be modified as the spec is specific to US cars. The idea is to keep people from spending a lot of money importing things. If I wanted a diff I could move up a class but then I'd be competing with ND2s, which is not a fair fight.
@@ErikSeastead They really are night and day different to drive with the factory helical diff. Open diff ones you have to really be patient, but if that is all you have then its how they are. More camber is king too on these cars.
Yeah I'd really like a diff, but the long geared 6 speed would hurt at Autox. The second gear ratio on the C56 is perfect for the sizes of our courses. Eventually I might throw class to the wind and just do whatever I want. But I need to finish in the trophies at the end of this season first. 😁
Hola como estas
Just went to dealership said our 2010 Scion XD lower control arm and bushings are going bad. They told me the TRD tire rim modify is causing this. Told me the tires are too big. We bought the car new, added the rims, and nobody ever said that the tires are damaging the car. Have you heard this? Toyota wants to charge us $2,402.42 to replace the bushings. Thanks for making this video.
A larger wheel and tire could apply more force to the rubber bushings, but I don't necessarily think it would cause that much wear. These cars from the 2000s are getting old and it's relatively normal for the rubber to wear out. Dealerships are very expensive, if you can find a local shop to do the job, they'll probably charge a lot less.
Time to do a ABS sensor on the Chevy Van again...this time the other front wheel ...lol...hint hint
Lol here we go!
Awesome! Do people get disoriented on track and go to the wrong turn?
@@jaket7045 haha! Sometimes yes. Some people have a harder time than others
Going to another Virginia Autocross anytime soon? I'm in Richmond and need to get some more handling practice/learn my (new to me) car better.
@@jonathanlforsberg2520 I go to pretty much every event. If you go to one this year, I'll be there
We were the slowest cars racing, but I think we had the most fun!
@@thebritishhippie9735 haha it was definitely a blast. Would you rather do 2zz matrix vs 2zz Spyder next, or 1zz vs 2zz Spyder??
Enjoying your videos. Keep them coming!
what did you mean "not suppose to drive at full soft or stiff couple hundred miles"? break in period?
Yeah, sort of like a break in I guess. I heard the adjuster can get stuck.
Did you have to drain the transmission when you took out the axles?
@@waleedrydhan6411 I did not take out the axles, but if you do then yes you'll have to do that
I like the 360 camera. Pretty cool you have such a competitive e street with the Spyder.
That’s the mission, do it fast AND clean :) Keep aiming 🤙
That camera view is so much better!!! Great video....
I love the new camera! It gives that ride-along view.
Great video! Used it to help with the installation of my 5Zigen exhaust
Appreciate it!
😂😂😂
I both mx5 and mr2s. i never drive the mx5 any more
Just FYI, factory gearing on a gen 5 VFR is 17t for the front not 18. That tool is definitely worth the money. The cheap ones from Amazon will snap if an attempt to force the pin out was done without first using a grinder to remove the exposed flared pins flat with the side plate. And at that point, it's just quicker to cut right through the entire chain (and more fun). Also, the master link pins only need to be flared a very small amount, specs provided with the chain. It's best to use a caliper to measure the flare as to not over tighten the master link. If too tight, it can bind, kink, and ultimately lead to a failure.
