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.
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
Check out gingium if you like stuff like this
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!

MOOG CAN YOU PLEASE RELEASE THESE TUNES THERE ABSOLUTE BANGERS
“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.
@Jevgeni Javorski Not having sore knees ;)
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! 🤭
16:14 Love the song Moog! Really well done!
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) 😂
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
Moog's progression with his music is just outstanding!
❤😁
Marty starting to look like a master fabricator these days. Look at him go!
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.
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

"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!? 😄
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!
I just love that we live in an era where specialists can help via remote access in situations like this!
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!
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!
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
11:35 1st time I've every heard Moog genuinely say "Marty" instead of "Martin"
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.
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.
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.
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 It's his own song, but sometimes he doesn't release them. Really unfortunate, since it's so good!
Mr Marty has come a long long way in his ability!!..kudos my man
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🤣
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.
I´m absolutely amazed with Marty´s ability to overcome obstacles without getting frustrated, and basically always getting shit done. You are amazing dude...
I would have given up when the fuel system started pissing. Mad respect to Marty!
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.
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.........
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.
I parked my 89 MR2 over 10 years ago when I was in the middle of a 3sgte swap... got the engine in but the wiring just had me so damn confused. Thanks to this series and seeing Marty run into so many of the same problems I had has given me the motivation I needed to dive back in. Just ordered the Toyota wiring diagram books for both my 89 and the 93 the motor is from so I can tie them into the AEM EMS I have. Wish me luck guys!!
"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 :)
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.
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...
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.
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 😎
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
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
You guys are all legends!! All my kids are going to grow up watching your channel. Thank you for all of your content. 👏
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. :-)
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! 🤘🤘
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!
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?
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
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!
Being from Saskatchewan, it's actually funny how many people that aren't from here cannot say it lol

"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!
Appreciate the strategically placed HyperRev magazine talkin' about the Subaru Legacies in the background of a shot. That magazine is good stuff.
When Moog said he'd give Marty a hand, I seriously wondered is he'd also be lending a toe.
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.
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.
Got to say, it’s been pretty amazing how Marty’s skills have developed over the years!

Music in the episode was *on point!*
Loving the series, all that hard work makes me root for the little MR2 =)
Anyone else going back and bing watching previous season during this quarantine time? Thank you mcm for being so bad ass.
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!
I’ve been saying “Marty Car Moogs” for years
It’s great to hear someone call the flammable stuff Petrol ⛽️
"Seats are like teabags in reverse"

I think it was his way of saying he's been tea-bagging Marty's seats for years.
The montage in the middle was awesome and moogs music was just divine!

Yesssss please I want to know what the name of it is
Tell your mum I said hi
Me toooo!

0:33 Moog can’t contain it. “My car is finished.”
That look of pure happiness and satisfaction when the car starts... Onya Marty. Hard work paid off.
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
17:07 nylock nuts dont lock unless the screw reaches the nylock part.
Good eye
The bolt isn't tight yet.
This MR2 has aged marty 10 years.
TheZmt325 no life did that
why am I watching this AFTER the dyno run lol.
I used to watch roadkill a lot. While I understand the idea of getting something running as cheaply as possible (I might have done that a time or two myself...), I really like how you guys make sure it gets done to the best of your ability. You've gone above and beyond on this car and I hope it gets a permanent spot in your collection.
The engine turning over was the icing on the cake. Epic job. Cannot wait for the finishing touches
I need these songs music's is on point just gives me mad summer vibes especially in these hard times in the world ❤️
You sure are a patient man, I’d have set it on fire when the fuel starting pissing out the bottom😂😂
I would of just smashed it all up if that happend to me lol
I’ve owned Citroen’s, TVRs and Land Rovers. I’m used to that sort of thing.....
And rust. Lots and lots of rust.
"There's a few different ways to skin this axolotl" That needs to be on a poster!!!
This is one of my fav episodes, thanks for the amount of time you spent on that car !!!
It's Alive! That Mr2 is a collectors car right now, Toyota mid engine rwd and now updated by MCM is worth thousands.
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.
“That I found in Marty’s bedroom” .. I don’t laugh easily, but that was slick😂😂😂
This MartyCarMods gonna be epic
I have never felt so intense watching this MR2 fire up. The blood, sweat and tears Marty put into this car is just incredible. Well done mate, let noise be your success!

That look n Marty when the engine started running. Every car guy would relate. Cheerios Marty!
+Mighty Car Mods: Hey Marty! An MR2 owner here from the USA....
FWIW, wiring colors for many MR2 generations/variations are that brown (BRN) and green (GRN) function as "grounds" or "earth" and sometimes both of these wire jacket colors have tracers, usually white (WHT) trace on green and sometimes black (BLK) trace on brown. That color variation schemata normally is reserved for subsets of a given set, such as 'ignition.' That has been my experience in fiddling w/ wiring on both a '93 Turbo and/or an '89 Supercharged. Amazing that the Japanese stuck w/ that basic overall color schemata for so long!
Best of luck in dealing w/ one of the most ornery vehicles ever made. But, I suppose you already know that? 😳🤣
A really great channel, guys! Keep up the 'good work!'
Yay you said Saskatchewan!!!! I'll consider that a shout out.

I'm loving the tunes! Reminds me of old Tiesto.
Moon buggy episode: Rattle can paint job!
MrPoo episode: It finally runs after it exploded and we rebuilt it!
Marty welds and Moog does the beats. Right to the feels.
For reference, the engine bay fan was for the stock IC, fitted into the driver side (RHD) side vent. The temp sensor towards the front of the engine lid monitored engine bay temps over the hottest part of the bay (turbo & manifold), which was relatively close to the stock IC. With an A2W IC installed, the fan isn't needed anymore, since the engine bay easily cools by itself via the vents on the engine lid.
