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.
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!
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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
Wouldn’t OEM body with a flare kit be better for touring cars. The probability of contact is high right? But from aero perspective I see the advantages.
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.
Looks great! I have to wonder, though -- are those vents in front of the rear wheels entirely cosmetic, or are you going to cut out holes for them at some point in the future?
At 1:04 did he say "1in 5/8 120 wall dmt tubing "? I can't tell what he said but I wanna find out what he said because I don't know what metal tubing to use for a roll cage
Do all those openings and ducts have a purpose or are they just there for show/just in case? And whats up with those closed off NACA ducts by the rear tires?
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.
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! 🔥
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 👍
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🗿

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.
Really did not expect you to go the direction you have with the MR2 but I'm loving it.
Big Ben's MR2 is slowly turning into a Porsche

😂
Porsche killer*
This is mid engine so more like a Lotus
A worse Porsche
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.
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 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.
Makes me happy to see all those kids in that shop KICKN ASS!!!!thank you.for the hope...
I love my Spyder. 2zz with c60. But I have been looking at this same wide body kit wondering what it would take to install. Thanks for the video.
13:03 Ben be double cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon 🥵😂

Hell yeah! Good to see the mr2 back on the screen!

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?)
Solid production gold. I think we would all really dig some longer form content. Much love guys!
I love how much effort you put in the mr2! Keep it up ❤
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.

Jeez I'm needing episode 2 like a fiend, already loving this series.
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 :')
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
Oh wow this is so awesome! Can not put into words how hyped I am for this
Yesssssss. Always wanted a proper build with the MR2!
I absolutely cannot wait to see this painted/wrapped
best offroad channel on youtube
Great episode and always so good to see Marc in any content. Love his character and jokes and professionalism in his work.
Really feeling the Hot Version MR-S vibes on this one!
Need MORE MR2/Marc content and Colabs! ❤
We love mr2 content 🙌🙌
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.
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
Oh shit! As soon as you see Marc you know its about to get crazy.

APR should be easier to replace than a big $$$ kit like Monocraft GT300 or Reckless MR-S kit.
Mr2 look dope with a kit 👌
Oh man, can't wait to see you both side by side in a GLTC race!
can't wait for another episode of this series, been waiting for the mr2 to hit the track in its finished form
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
Fun to watch Rich and Kal working together! Artists
I saw you guys with the mr2 in Wisconsin at a kwik trip and was wondering where you were going lol, that explains it
Can't wait to see what color the wrap is going to be!
The return of Frankenstein motor works!!!! Great episode. This car is going to be sick!!!
I was considering selling my MR2.. but this got me excited to build mine again!
This build is an inspiration! Love this series!
My favorite build on the channel
wow, that is a massive improvement. very nice
Heck yeah Marc is back!
I know making these videos are alot of work but man it still looks like fun. Great shit as usual dudes.
Looks great! I have to wonder, though -- are those vents in front of the rear wheels entirely cosmetic, or are you going to cut out holes for them at some point in the future?
Always awesome seeing my boy artsem doing his artwork.. Cage he built for my E46 is topnotch
Nice kit! Great video guys!
Big Ben !! Nice change from the Evo .
At 5:30 when they are just standing in a box talking to to each other. That reminded me of SpongeBob and Patric😂
Lets go love the mr2 and frankensteinmotors
That body kit is giving me some nfs underground vibes and i love it.
Im really curious about wheel size you are trying to fit in there, since its possible to fit 255’s on the rear indeed stock fenders
The cage is awesome and that kit looks good, the wheels and height is pretty funny 😂
At 1:04 did he say "1in 5/8 120 wall dmt tubing "? I can't tell what he said but I wanna find out what he said because I don't know what metal tubing to use for a roll cage
DOM
you guys are nuts and i love it. just found a stage 2 bumper for my baby
I had a W30, I loved it.
MR2 madness yes!
Do all those openings and ducts have a purpose or are they just there for show/just in case?
And whats up with those closed off NACA ducts by the rear tires?
it needs a big WANGGG
sick looking piece of machinery!
This is awesome. Now, all it needs next is some big ol' 18's and a gt wing to complete the look...
Frankenstein is in the house! Let's go!
I’m keeping hope for the vision but I can’t help but think it’s ugly rn 😂😂😂 can’t wait for more
ART
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
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

Such a high tech roll cage 😮
Simply fantastic
looking at an mr2 this weekend such a sick car hope its good enough to buy it
I’ve been waiting so long to see this kind of content great stuff
Hope you choose a nice looking Head and back lights.
theres a bodykit that makes them look like a mini carrera gt, that would've been funny to see around a track
Oh my god those after shots are hilarious. I’m sure it’ll come together well though.
not the widebody kit i would've chose tbh but hey if your happy with it bro!
4:22 “for years the MR2 looked kinda like a… venereal disease” 😂
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! 🔥
It’s going to look so good once it’s on a good set of wheels and tires and wrapped
Glad to see that you've taken my advice and decided to build the MR2 into the track car.
almost looks like the autobacs mrs widebody. sick
YES!!!!!! MORE MARC!
When Marc shows up, you know cool things are gonna happen. 😎
What kind of wire mesh was used for the widebody?
Yaaaaa!!!!! This is sweet!!!
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 say put the matrix awd setup underneath and take it rallying!
Kit still looks a bit rough with some panels that don't line up properly. Just have a look at the video at 12:12 and 12:20.
So are you going to fit the 2ar since marc is there?
Man Artsem is a GENIUS
