Good to see Marc in the video! Excited to see how the CaMR-Sy is going to fair against the 2023 GLTC field. Lots of vettes this year and the perennial K-powered contenders.
Funny story this reminded me of. I used to have a neighbor who owned an MR2 Spyder. Of which, he replaced all the Toyota badging with Porche ones. And because there weren't many car enthusiasts around here, most people took it at face value, which I found hilarious.
The joy you bring to a LOT of us every saturday morning is priceless. When you feel like "This is just content for YT", let me remind you: Your art lights up and upbrings lives! Thank you GG!
The engineering on the cage fabrication is amazing. Came a long way with tech yet he’s still on top of his work to make the perfect cage 💯 Also great video from GG yet again, I always look forward to these Saturday drops
I like how G&G takes the time to showcase the shops that help them build their cars. I've noticed over the past 5-6 years they do that. We need more of this type of "give credit were credit is due" in the automotive industry. Whether its the shop that helps them weld in cages, or Ronnie who built the 4G63, Andy with ASM & the K20 build, or the guy in VA/Maryland (forgot his name) who dyno tuned the MR2. Its a good showcase of the shops skills & moves the auto industry forward.
Kei car for "wide bodies" :) Seriously though this is a welcome build and car that is on my bucket list for no reason other than I like the idea of the MR2 Spyder.
Here i am struggling to get an ac powersteering civic ferio kswap build in north america and you guys putting porsche gt3 money into an old mr2. Fantastic work pushing forward innovation on this platform and staying true to the brands heart. Much luck and thanks for the content!
As a technician who doesn’t look at his phone but will auto play TH-cam videos, your background music mixed with various mechanical noises is like going to a spa for me. Please don’t let up on it
I love my mr2 man, its just such a fun car. Every time i see mr2 content on the channel it warms my heart hahaha. Hopefully you are enjoying the car as much as i enjoy my stock car :')
Have a red Apr mr2 spyder turbo and it totally transforms car to standard looking to Ferrari beauty. It will look amazing once it’s done. Also don’t forget to use the Apr carbon splitters as it’s icing on the cake.
there is literally not a more perfect moment than at 4:20 This moment is both "nice" bc of the timestamp but also this is one of the most honest opinions I've heard about a car in a long long time
The wide-body will help, since it lets you safely run wider tires, which should help a lot with both keeping it steady in corners and also with braking performance.
I do agree that the MRS is under appreciated. I don't know why when unironically it is almost ready to track out the box, AND LOOKS GOOD, these goobers who say it looks lame can suck it. These cars are absolute BEASTS, balance it great for a mid engine, light as shit, small wheel base (which would make you think its snappier but nah she a beast), and lastly, the 1ZZ is a good ass engine that can take one heck of a beating and its simple to modify on top of that. If I didnt already spend my life savings and left kidney on my old 86 I wouldve gone with the MRS in a heart beat.
Not wearing masks when cutting/drilling fibreglass is a great way to get long term lung problems. I hope the shop guys take better care of themselves when off-camera.
This is awesome news, I’ve been secretly hoping for you to build the MRS into a GLTC car. Really looking forward to seeing how you guys prep it. Better watch up on some Techno Pro Sprint MRS videos 👍
I had a really good laugh when you transitioned to the car being finished 😆 I know it's not done but hilarious. I can't wait to see it lowered with some appropriate wheel! 🔥
I'm curious to see what you're going to do about the wheelbase and track width being closer to square. When the Spyder starts to rotate it's probably going to want to spin like a top.
That fitment is incredible. That is probably the best job I've seen in quite some time.
APR makes some pretty impressive parts. And you pay top dollar for it 😂
The bodyshop is where u will get that massaging till its near perfection.
The power of being filmed by a YT channel with over 1M eyes on your shop.
Really? The panels still seem a bit crooked at some corners.
@@ed_architecture Some people have a tendency to exaggerate. Just have a look at 12:12 and 12:20.
MR2 CONTENT BABY!!! LETS GO
LETSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🗿

Big Ben's MR2 is slowly turning into a Porsche

😂
Porsche killer*
This is mid engine so more like a Lotus
A worse Porsche
This against Mia will be an interesting race. 2 tiny 2wd cars with twice the power they came with and a ton of aero.
That cage work is absolutely beautiful. That body kit tho...oof. At least you can fit the wheel size you need.
The joy you bring to a LOT of us every saturday morning is priceless. When you feel like "This is just content for YT", let me remind you: Your art lights up and upbrings lives! Thank you GG!
Really did not expect you to go the direction you have with the MR2 but I'm loving it.
Ben waiting on the return of the MR2. I don't run one but to me the MR2 is the Japanese 914 or 550 spider. The perfect grown-up go-cart.
Makes me happy to see all those kids in that shop KICKN ASS!!!!thank you.for the hope...

I know right. Don't judge a fabricator by their garage sign. Impressive stuff.
The key to a successful project car is to have tons of extremely talented and generous buds.
13:03 Ben be double cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon 🥵😂
Hell yeah! Good to see the mr2 back on the screen!

Solid production gold. I think we would all really dig some longer form content. Much love guys!

Mr2 spyders look great with a low profile spoiler. Also Ben should do something about the chicken wire vents on the body kit (paint black?)
I love how much effort you put in the mr2! Keep it up ❤
Need MORE MR2/Marc content and Colabs! ❤
Jeez I'm needing episode 2 like a fiend, already loving this series.
I absolutely cannot wait to see this painted/wrapped
As a widebody MRS owner myself, this was amazing to watch. I don't have the same kit but love seeing the quality of yours.
Really feeling the Hot Version MR-S vibes on this one!
best offroad channel on youtube

Oh shit! As soon as you see Marc you know its about to get crazy.
Mr2 look dope with a kit 👌
Yesssssss. Always wanted a proper build with the MR2!
Always a better day when you guys post a new video and seeing Marc pop up was a pleasant surprise 👍 can't wait to see what you two have planned
We love mr2 content 🙌🙌
Marc is the best I love his character!
Oh wow this is so awesome! Can not put into words how hyped I am for this
Lets go love the mr2 and frankensteinmotors
Great episode and always so good to see Marc in any content. Love his character and jokes and professionalism in his work.
The cosmetics seem to have fit well which was shocking,but that cage is epic! I can't wait to see more,please G&G keep them coming
I had a W30, I loved it.
I love my mr2 man, its just such a fun car. Every time i see mr2 content on the channel it warms my heart hahaha. Hopefully you are enjoying the car as much as i enjoy my stock car :')
ART
MR2 madness yes!
Have a red Apr mr2 spyder turbo and it totally transforms car to standard looking to Ferrari beauty. It will look amazing once it’s done. Also don’t forget to use the Apr carbon splitters as it’s icing on the cake.
Oh man, can't wait to see you both side by side in a GLTC race!
The return of Frankenstein motor works!!!! Great episode. This car is going to be sick!!!
it needs a big WANGGG
Can't wait to see what color the wrap is going to be!
Big Ben !! Nice change from the Evo .
Fun to watch Rich and Kal working together! Artists
wow, that is a massive improvement. very nice
there is literally not a more perfect moment than at 4:20
This moment is both "nice" bc of the timestamp but also this is one of the most honest opinions I've heard about a car in a long long time
My favorite build on the channel
The wide-body will help, since it lets you safely run wider tires, which should help a lot with both keeping it steady in corners and also with braking performance.
I was considering selling my MR2.. but this got me excited to build mine again!
Heck yeah Marc is back!
Simply fantastic
can't wait for another episode of this series, been waiting for the mr2 to hit the track in its finished form
This build is an inspiration! Love this series!
That body kit is giving me some nfs underground vibes and i love it.
Nice kit! Great video guys!

Always awesome seeing my boy artsem doing his artwork.. Cage he built for my E46 is topnotch
I know making these videos are alot of work but man it still looks like fun. Great shit as usual dudes.
sick looking piece of machinery!
Frankenstein is in the house! Let's go!
Love it
YES!!!!!! MORE MARC!
Such a high tech roll cage 😮
I saw you guys with the mr2 in Wisconsin at a kwik trip and was wondering where you were going lol, that explains it
This is awesome. Now, all it needs next is some big ol' 18's and a gt wing to complete the look...
The cage is awesome and that kit looks good, the wheels and height is pretty funny 😂
you guys are nuts and i love it. just found a stage 2 bumper for my baby
Yaaaaa!!!!! This is sweet!!!
almost looks like the autobacs mrs widebody. sick
Oh my god those after shots are hilarious. I’m sure it’ll come together well though.
I’m keeping hope for the vision but I can’t help but think it’s ugly rn 😂😂😂 can’t wait for more
Let’s go Marc!!
Not wearing masks when cutting/drilling fibreglass is a great way to get long term lung problems. I hope the shop guys take better care of themselves when off-camera.
At 5:30 when they are just standing in a box talking to to each other. That reminded me of SpongeBob and Patric😂
More mr2 content! More Marc!! LFG!!!
I say put the matrix awd setup underneath and take it rallying!
I’ve been waiting so long to see this kind of content great stuff
Man Artsem is a GENIUS
This is awesome news, I’ve been secretly hoping for you to build the MRS into a GLTC car. Really looking forward to seeing how you guys prep it.
Better watch up on some Techno Pro Sprint MRS videos 👍
It’s going to look so good once it’s on a good set of wheels and tires and wrapped
not the widebody kit i would've chose tbh but hey if your happy with it bro!
theres a bodykit that makes them look like a mini carrera gt, that would've been funny to see around a track
4:31 I can't tell if Kal is tiny or if that's just what happens when a normal man stands next to Ben
I had a really good laugh when you transitioned to the car being finished 😆 I know it's not done but hilarious. I can't wait to see it lowered with some appropriate wheel! 🔥
Glad to see that you've taken my advice and decided to build the MR2 into the track car.
Look insane 🔥🔥🔥
I just need to see this wrapped. Please.
Marc!
I've been waiting for this crappy car to get some love ❤️❤️❤️
looking at an mr2 this weekend such a sick car hope its good enough to buy it
Hope you choose a nice looking Head and back lights.
FINALLY!!!
I'm curious to see what you're going to do about the wheelbase and track width being closer to square. When the Spyder starts to rotate it's probably going to want to spin like a top.
Not really tbf. People tend to forget that it has longer wheelbase than s2000
Man there was a guy back in the day that had similar body kit but left it like that at the end with stock offset and width wheels. It was hilarious.
As someone from indiana who’s been trying to find a shop to install my widebody on my subie coupe… i think i know which shop i’m going to now
Damn i really want a MRS but ill make a replica of the techno pro spirit the one in keiichi tsuchiya's show.
