In Australia and want to come have a once in a lifetime VIP experience in this very car? mightycarmods.com/pages/mighty-car-mods-vip-experience-promotion-may-2024
How do we contact you? I have a car you would like that you've never had on your channel, and I don't have much time left on this Earth. I'd rather it be sold cheap (not given away, but much cheaper than you'll find one) to you guys than it be sold to some random I don't know who won't respect it. It's Australian, has two doors, an LS, manual, 80k on the clock, rare paint colour, plus a few other things. I know the people I will leave it to will just trade it in, I may as well sell it to you guys and just give them the cash, I know you'll do the right thing with it. I don't have Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media except Linkedin. It's located in Tassie though. And no, I'm not selling it to random TH-cam commenters, so don't ask.
I was in Japan on a business trip about a dozen years ago. My Japanese colleague and I hired a driver to take to some customers. They were supposed to use a Crown like yours and I was excited to ride in it. Then they show up in a Century. The Crowns big brother with a V12. These are typically only used by politicians and mobsters. It was winter and I was wearing a black wool topcoat and a black Fedora. The looks that we got were priceless.
Hey guys, I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying the honesty about how things are going. How things break. I know for me when I watch your shows and then do my own work, and when shit breaks, it feels shit. But it makes me feel a bit better when the people I look up to break stuff to.
As someone who has fit a lot of those integrated style boxes over the years. Finding somewhere for the module and harnesses is always the hardest bloody part. They were a common install for Toyota's that didnt have factory navigation for a number of years, and for caravan camera to factory screen integration too.
The company Ive had the most experience with, Is "advanced ice". But Im unsure if they make anything for rx-8's. There website doesnt say so, but it also doesnt advertise other products that Ive personally installed. So might get lucky. Sorry couldnt be more helpful. I have no personal affiliation with them
It's really nice to see you bringing content this way. Working with cars, having fun, awesome music... never tired of MCM, and always waiting for a new episode. Keep it up!!!
Back in college a mate had a VIP lexus GS and he notched out the tubs and suspension mounts to get his car lower, it was also a V8 model with straight pipes,deep dish rims, the lot
Actually purchased for majesta, test fit them, and were just… ok. Then put them on the rx7 and nearly fell over. You’ll see it soon as we’ve got that project on the boil.
@@Agretnope. They aren’t purists but they’re not the type of people wreck a nice clean rx7 with an engine swap. If it was a rusted out piece of scrap metal old generation rx7 that’s blown up and not just broken down, they probably would swap it. But not this car, it’s too nice.
As an owner of a Silvia S15 and GRS204 Crown Athlete, this makes me very happy to see! Also, love that insight you gave with the piggyback system for the touchscreen. I have a very interesting audio setup in my Crown that you two fellow audio nerds would love and I got in touch with the company in Japan that installed it and they told me that, to keep the function display unit working, they had to install my double-DIN head unit and re-wire the factory radio into the rear of the car! Without the factory radio, you apparently lose all functionality of the screen that does air con, DTV, GPS, G-book, etc.
Wishing the participants of the VIP thing all the luck, can't join the 50 bucks thingy this time. On another note, I used tablecloth and magnets to make DIY courtains for an old accord wagon. They just stick in the rear windows with the magnets, you can move them around and all. Thing actually gives a VIP feel with them.
Yup, I'd prefer wheels with a machined lip and a flush fitment. You are right about ride height, I to don't think it's necessary to over lower any car as it will high-center and scrape the underside of the car. Cheers!
I'm in the USA. What if Americans pay for the plane ticket out to Sydney and pay shipping to get the merch back home? Can we be included in this epic VIP experience? You guys rock. Love from Connecticut. 🤘🏻
Was it a blown fuse regarding the end of the video? I would hazard a guess that many additional harnesses on the factory radios fuse would surely be testing the limits of it! The first hook up loom with the black wires going into conduit is an old Nav/TV swticher. There will be a button that conduit leads to which would allow you to sit in traffic or just driving in general watching TV channels. I would suggest removing it as I don't imagine you'll be using it often! We see them a lot over here in NZ with imports of these from Japan. Super common and in general if we're working with a clients car, we'll remove them as it leaves less stuff to squeeze behind the head unit!
Your flights from the UK to Sydney are probably cheaper than Perth WA to anywhere east in Australia. Im in Adelaide at the moment. Fly back to Perth end of the week, my return ticket was $830.
The ultimate bargain luxury car is the VW Phaeton. It was built to compete with luxury Mercs, and BMWs. It has a W12 engine and goes for under 10 grand. Would love to see one on mcm.
It's hard to believe you can get so much style, cool, and comfort for such a low price, considering the current state of our local car market. Excited for this one!
MAAAAANNN!!! I wish that Interface kit was available 9yrs ago. The EMV in my Mark 2 was soo unusable that I could only use the radio and the AC controls. The DVD unit and the Tv Ariel and all the other functions was just sitting there.
I can't afford to enter but wanted to say this in an unreal competition. Would have to loved the chance. Been a subscriber since 5th January 2015. Good luck to you all!
What are peoples opinions of the Crown Majesta like in Japan? I understand you guys have some emissions stuff that makes owning a V8 very expensive over there? Is it considered an uncool old mans car like the Toyota Corolla over here? I remember reading that someone here got a Toyota Crown Athlete and their Japanese girlfriends mum laughed at it saying it's such a common car over there?
Every time I've seen you use "VIP build" I kept expecting to finally see it made into a VIP build lol it keeps confusing me. JDM VIP is a real thing, slammed lowered, chambered, huge chrome wheels, blacked out window tints, typically black paint. But this has just been "luxury build" til now. Glad to finally see something "VIP" actually happening now lol
I failed to understand that they where talking about suspension airbags. So first few minutes I thought they where gonna install an aftermarket sketchy box that would the car crash airbags. That would be hilarious aswel. Love the JDM VIP-ness dudes
Reminds me of the time I sat in an Audi A6 at the Chrysler dealership and started putting the seat back and it just kept going until it hit the rear seat. I'm 6'10/2.08m and there was over a foot between my foot with my legs stretched fully out and the pedals. I swear the reason the seat can go back so far is so some executive can get head from a street hooker without getting out of his seat... there was definitely enough room for someone to be in the floor in front of me, let alone someone shorter than me.
Nice comfy living room on wheels that's what I want, complete with leather armchairs and sofa. Complete with Toyota badge for literal no worries experience. Nice.
I have to say I strongly believe you are seriously mistaken. The Bosozoku style cars are the closest equivalent to the Californian low-raider style cars.
I wish those Carplay modules existed 5 years ago before I put in work figuring out how to put in an aftermarket headunit. Desperate times called for desperate measures 😆
Hey guys, where did you get the ‘CAR interface’ and loom bits? I’d be interested in one for a 2011 Skoda. It’s got a big posh (Columbus) screen with very limited functionality!
It's assembled horribly. I hope Lexus is better but I'm not so hopeful after watching this. Can't believe how everything was plastic and practically fell off. My Toyota engine is reliable but the car itself is almost as bad as that car. Cheap plastic everywhere.
MCM VIP-ness > regular VIP-ness. 10/10 would daily. Only thing I might do different would be a noisier exhaust. I know it sort of defeats the purpose of an executive car but I really like V8 noises and I would only want it loud enough so that I only hear it when I stand on it.
Imagine MCM(Japan) doing an episode comparing a $3500 Majesta with a $3500 BA Falcon. No one in Japan would believe how much awesomeness $3500 buys in Australia!

I would totally go on a date you talked off, even as a straight man I sure can be swept off my feet when you say go karts
I'm in the UK 😢 you guys should come to UK and do something with drivetribe or carwow!

'VIP-ness'. This is the sort of high brow, top notch content you'd expect from the best 4x4 channel on the internet.
That’s a T-shirt right there
😂
Vip-ness should be the next mcm t shirt
I never buy merch shirts but would absolutely rock that lol
@@AngySumo Same. I would 100% pay money for that.
Never buy merch, i would also love to show off my vip-ness.
Hahhahahahah 😂😂😂😂
The best part about this channel is Marty and Moog haven’t changed a bit since they started😂 legends!!

You guys are the reason it's been so wet in NSW this year.
And that's just the Sheila's ☔
The VIP trip sounds incredible
I'm 40. It sounds great on paper but I'd rather watch someone else enjoy it while admiring my lawn.
Yeah and the 50 dollar barrier to entry makes it easy to sit back and root for someone else winning😂
Australian vip fake taxi, ride with sherryl
Where do I sign?
One night in Cheryl
Show her the VIP-ness

Perfect comment

Those outfits but with trainers are the most Australian thing I've seen for ages.
Guys just own a pair of shoes for gym and a pair for everything else. Unwritten law.
We call them runners in Oz
As someone who has fit a lot of those integrated style boxes over the years. Finding somewhere for the module and harnesses is always the hardest bloody part.
They were a common install for Toyota's that didnt have factory navigation for a number of years, and for caravan camera to factory screen integration too.
Are there any you recommend? I was going to replace my rx-8 stereo with a double din but if I can keep it looking stock I'd prefer that

I love that moog is always hitting marty with banter and he just agrees and is super focussed on what hes doing instead.
I like the subtle shoutout to small channels like Unicorn Circuit with the Knob Touch fank. Now we might get 50 subs by the end of the month!
50? steady on that could overwhelm the internet..
It's just gonna go to waste otherwise!
It's really nice to see you bringing content this way. Working with cars, having fun, awesome music... never tired of MCM, and always waiting for a new episode. Keep it up!!!
a old couple drove past me yesterday in one of these, it was black with some nice silver rims lowered and sounded so good! 😅
I spent 10 years of my life pulling Toyotas apart and reinstalling. As an accessory fitter for Toyota it was amazingly simple.
Wow....
This video is gonna go viral, A simple thing of just adding in a carplay box into a factory infotainment system.
THANK YOU MCM !
Back in college a mate had a VIP lexus GS and he notched out the tubs and suspension mounts to get his car lower, it was also a V8 model with straight pipes,deep dish rims, the lot
So glad MCM got their hands on a Crown Majesta. I previously owned JZX100 and moved onto a Crown Majesta and my God it is such a gangsta car...
We need an entire VIP-ness merch line, NOW! VIP-ness headrests, pillows, curtains, and maybe a shirt
I did this very upgrade for my 2016 Camry. It now has both wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Makes life a lot easier.
Where did you get the box from please?
The world needs MCM FD content.. please hurry and release it. the wheels for the FD look mint. No wheels with a dish in the workshop my ass 😂
Actually purchased for majesta, test fit them, and were just… ok. Then put them on the rx7 and nearly fell over. You’ll see it soon as we’ve got that project on the boil.
Do you reckon they'll engine swap the FD?
Oh god no..
@@Agretnope. They aren’t purists but they’re not the type of people wreck a nice clean rx7 with an engine swap. If it was a rusted out piece of scrap metal old generation rx7 that’s blown up and not just broken down, they probably would swap it. But not this car, it’s too nice.

Can you provide more details about the head unit you have? Reckon you could throw up a little overview video of it on your TH-cam? Sounds interesting.
I might need something similar for my 99 Aristo, any more details on this would be appreciated
Any forum or blogs to provide more detail thank you!
Wishing the participants of the VIP thing all the luck, can't join the 50 bucks thingy this time. On another note, I used tablecloth and magnets to make DIY courtains for an old accord wagon. They just stick in the rear windows with the magnets, you can move them around and all. Thing actually gives a VIP feel with them.
There’s a pristine stock Toyota century v12 for sale on Facebook in Perth. Love to see you guys pick it up and do a JDM luxury showdown🤔
Its amazing how good a little box is.
That Toyota CROWN looks amazing Well Done Marty and Moog Modifying it goes really fast with V8 Engine 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The carplay hack on stock headunit blew my mind. I need to find one of those for my 17 forester, such a good sleeper look
Yup, I'd prefer wheels with a machined lip and a flush fitment. You are right about ride height, I to don't think it's necessary to over lower any car as it will high-center and scrape the underside of the car. Cheers!

You guys rock. Love from Connecticut. 🤘🏻
If you are there in person surely you can just chuck the merch in a suitcase?
Loving the VIP ness.
I never knew I wanted a Toyota Crown until a few weeks ago.
Now I need a peasant to chauffeur me around.

If i could afford the flights, i'd give anything for this! Would absolutely be tripping my faceballs off! Much love from Perth, UK
Surely Perth, UK, Is close enough to Perth, WA?
@@phillxor its in scotland lol
Your flights from the UK to Sydney are probably cheaper than Perth WA to anywhere east in Australia. Im in Adelaide at the moment. Fly back to Perth end of the week, my return ticket was $830.

The VIPiëchisode.
Sounds cool, I don't think they sell them in Australia though. The model doesn't even come up on carsales.
Ever wondered why they are so cheap? It's because they WILL cost 3 or 4 times as much to fix.
VIP-ness and Cheryl's big mystery box...there's a joke there somewhere
It's hard to believe you can get so much style, cool, and comfort for such a low price, considering the current state of our local car market. Excited for this one!
Well you could, now that MCM have made videos about these cars the price is gonna go up like crazy.
the maj came up mint. was waiting for you guys to do exhaust. the looks great. awesome
whoever designed that dash is a genius
So crazy seeing Moog on top gear, hopefully Marty makes a cameo !
Weird hearing his actual name not Moog
@@danieluchwal3515 Moog is his middle name
The chemistry between you 2 is so good. ❤
I would litterally pay the 2k plane ticket to spend a day with you guys. Watched your vids since i was probably 9-10 and im soon to be 21! Insane!
I love the crown majesta!!!❤ I have one too!!!! 🎉🎉
A '91 JDM taxi crown is unironically one of my favorite cars of all time and I will own one.
Awesome video guy's thanks for sharing 👍 sending love ❤️ from IRELAND 🇮🇪
As far as factory wheels go, those are pretty good. That being said, the new ones with the drop look amazing!
MAAAAANNN!!! I wish that Interface kit was available 9yrs ago. The EMV in my Mark 2 was soo unusable that I could only use the radio and the AC controls. The DVD unit and the Tv Ariel and all the other functions was just sitting there.
Got myself a URS206 after seeing this. Thanks MCM for the review! Holden's are fun but too expensive for nostalgias sake.
Love you guys, I would go anywhere with you, because it would always be fun!
I can always depend on you two to give my day a lift and a laugh!!!! VIPness!!!
Car play on the factory Toyota screen is such a unbelievably huge flex.
I can't afford to enter but wanted to say this in an unreal competition. Would have to loved the chance. Been a subscriber since 5th January 2015. Good luck to you all!
In 2000 I got my 180SX for 3k and few thousand for shipping to Australia and compliance and I still have it to this day.
i must admit...as a Japanese here in Japan, this was rather amusing lol
as always, great content! Thanks always!

bro, it would be fun if you made a video about the Mazda 121 DB
If guys want an extra Low, you guys need to buy the SS kit aka roll centre adjusters. Should get it close to the ground on factory suspension

That Carplay setup was great not just to attach a another screen that changes the look.
Super impressed with the car play retrofit, looks factory
I’d love to know if I can get one of those modules for my touch screen 2011 Sz Territory (pre navigation)
10:44 would have loved for Neon Lights to continue from that point added in post, that solo is fire!
Love this car beyond what I would need but great episode.
I failed to understand that they where talking about suspension airbags. So first few minutes I thought they where gonna install an aftermarket sketchy box that would the car crash airbags. That would be hilarious aswel. Love the JDM VIP-ness dudes
4:52 Fank of the Week :) Sad that none of mine ever made the cut. Favouritism, I cry! :)
Would be my worst nightmare a VIP experience, even though i enjoy watching your mad channel 😄
Man, hanging with Marty and Moog would be an absolute dream. I wish I wasn't in Canada now :')
The 4.6 v8 in that car was used in the States for the Lexus version of the Landcruiser Prado.
Still waiting for Moog to buy my car sight unseen
We came to look at your car but your next door neighbour told us to get off his lawn
Post a link. If it’s cheap and shit then I’ll probably take it
@mightycarmods sadly it's in north queensland and it'll cost just about as much for the car to tow it back to Sydney haha

Not only the best 4x4 channel but now the best VIP channel.
Hence proved, a modern car is a 10 year old luxury car with screens and more controls!!!
VID I'm so going use that from now on,.Absolutely love it.
I love this build but I'm glad I haven't had to do all the fiddling with the airbag system haha
Nice comfy living room on wheels that's what I want, complete with leather armchairs and sofa. Complete with Toyota badge for literal no worries experience. Nice.
I have to say I strongly believe you are seriously mistaken. The Bosozoku style cars are the closest equivalent to the Californian low-raider style cars.
Blues Brothers vibe is strong with these two! ;)
That bronze wheel is mad... that 3rd gen will look wicked.
Love this stuff. Thanks lads
Last Song was amazing
Went and entered immediately. I never win anything but visiting Australia is one of my dreams.
I wish those Carplay modules existed 5 years ago before I put in work figuring out how to put in an aftermarket headunit. Desperate times called for desperate measures 😆
"VIP-ness" killed me. Luxurious STIs are deadly.
if the massage is getting outsourced. no point entering then! haha
Hey guys, where did you get the ‘CAR interface’ and loom bits?
I’d be interested in one for a 2011 Skoda. It’s got a big posh (Columbus) screen with very limited functionality!
I'm still trying to find it too :/
The VID trip sounds like a great deal. I’m only entering if Tuning Fork comes with.
your VIP-ness is unmatched 😂
Wheels look sweet on there. I'm bummed out we didn't get a good sound clip of that V8.
“Im going to show you our VIP-ness”

I daily a UZS171 majesta and it’s wicked, please make “VIP-ness” a shirt, I’d rock that 😂, that segment was hilarious
The interior comes apart just like my camry's interrior!
Honestly I also associated the VIP stuff with funky lights and strobes all over the vehicle. I hope you guys run those at some point.
Loved the included “fank”in this build 😂
why aren't all cars built like this, holy shit, this is so modular!
If it’s anything like the Lexus LSes that I’ve owned, not only this modular, but doesn’t squeak or rattle either. Build quality is other worldly
It's assembled horribly. I hope Lexus is better but I'm not so hopeful after watching this. Can't believe how everything was plastic and practically fell off. My Toyota engine is reliable but the car itself is almost as bad as that car. Cheap plastic everywhere.
Wanting a budget manual magna build vid - would be good for a cheap vs cheap or something :)
That ride looks comfy as!
I won't lie to you. I loved this one. But, I really need to see a turbocharged Toyota Corolla... with RWD or 4WD conversion. Cheers! sututuuu sututuuu
