Ahh. What type of scanner were you using? That's exactly what I wished I could have checked with mine!

Yes I had the same intuition. I wanted to just have the shop deal with it so I could sell it as fast as possible. Wasn't meant to be a video. But they called me and quoted 1,000$ for a new airbag. That's when I took the car back and started filming. Unfortunately I trusted them. I learned my lesson. I also learned my lesson about buying parts online instead of going to junkyards to get them way cheaper.

@@ACommenterOnRUclips I'm surprised the Ninja still pulls ahead being that the S40 has a 400cc advantage over the Ninja, that's very impressive!

@@ErikSeastead That is a shock to me as well considering the size difference but that 650cc single thumper has some torque to it. That ninja has NO torque at all but has a lot of top end in comparission to the 650cc im going to assume that if it was a dual 325cc motor to equal 650cc then it would be a different story. From what i read, that 650cc single is not meant for high speed power because its only 1 piston working and on top end its all by itself trying to accelerate where as the 250cc being two 125cc pistons, you got 2 pistons working together side by side

🤣

Thanks!

I tried anyway... Now stop paying labor at shops when you can come over and play with the baby! 😁

@@pretzel1313 and sometimes the floor isn't flat which can push you out of the pool vertically. My best advice is that you should really practice this on dolphin with a savestate before the flight and get the first pool perfect every time. It'll reduce the variation for the rest of the flight and make everything much easier.

@@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

You can definitely pass but it probably takes a whole minute to get from 70 to 100 (indicated) which is likely like 90ish on gps.

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.

Damn, I got another buddy local with a yellow 2zz swapped MRS. We need to roll deep to meets and autox! Lol

@@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

We made a few more videos. You can check my project CL playlist!

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.

@@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.

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.

Haha early 00s Toyota is just so good

xD

Id love to turbo my 1zz. But I think my long term plan is a 2AR swap.

@@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.

@@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!

@@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.

@@HeathenDance yeah?

@@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. 😁

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.

Lol here we go!

@@jaket7045 haha! Sometimes yes. Some people have a harder time than others

@@jonathanlforsberg2520 I go to pretty much every event. If you go to one this year, I'll be there

@@thebritishhippie9735 haha it was definitely a blast. Would you rather do 2zz matrix vs 2zz Spyder next, or 1zz vs 2zz Spyder??

Yeah, sort of like a break in I guess. I heard the adjuster can get stuck.

@@waleedrydhan6411 I did not take out the axles, but if you do then yes you'll have to do that
