What is really mind-blowing about this video is that MCM actually filmed ALL these tips - over 250 of them - over an 11 year period. Over a decade's worth of knowledge in one master video. Bravo, guys. If this doesn't deserve a slow-clap then nothing does.
You got my slow clap 😉
I clapped once... worst day of my life.
This would have taken aaaaaages to edit! Great job
@@stoggies3546 oh you...

Universal fact: painting engine components, brake calipers and pretty much anything red generates more horsepower
It adds 5hp per component
Thank you. No one believes me
Thanks didn't know that! I'm gonna try it, what about stickers do those add alot of horsepower?
You’re amazing, been trying to figure out how to tune my Honda thank you!
@@fabeskates dude, it's a Honda, the painting can come later. The first thing you absolutely NEED is the loudest sounding fart can you can find

MCM: Here's 250 mate, have at it.
yeah, but in their defends they says 5 good tips. 80 % off MCM 250 tips was just jokes. Still love MCM tho and a few tips was really good
250 tips:
Use shoes as cup holder.
Wash car lamps with urine and toothpaste.
Most of things here are unnecessary and overdo.Title says "every car owner should know" but nearly every tip is avout modifying car and suits racing enthusiasts. Absolte waste of time.

'sometimes the car fights back '
that scream was perfect haha😂
it was so funny
I couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂😂
That scream wasn't edited in by the way just to let anyone know. It's real.
Truly a Wilhelm-esque scream!
Not even Cheryl has had that many tips
Boooom!
Sounds like she got shafted
But still, she has her box for sale now.
Youd be suprised
Bravo!
I love how they literally have the production quality of a tv show without all the dumb drama.
lol tips "EVERYONE" needs to know.
"If you ever find yourself having to cut a car in half..."
You never know man
Teo might have to get that one specific a-pillar you know.
"If you have a Golf don't swap your factory lights out for these ones because they look crap." LOL. Classic Marty!
It's true though.. but 2010 was a different time

Thanks gang!
can I have some wd40
@@PBJPRODUCTIONSTUDIOS Sure, it's down at your local shops mate. Have at it for a few bucks.
or you could just learn how to do a burnout hahaha if u need wd40 to do one your doing something wrong lol
mytime racing or their car lacks powaaaaa
With all these "tricks" it's a miracle these guys are still alive. Amazing.
Imagine pulling up at lights and seeing your mate pumping his water pump and his mate with a smile on his face
*The hills are alive with the sound of **5:54*
LOVE IT... Despite keeping me awake at night
I don't know why I'm watching this. I've literally watched every MCM video in the last 9 years.
think of it like it's the recap at the start of the show... "Previously in Mighty car mods..." 😅
I was thinking long and hard why, and I realized that MCM is so damned good because of the authenticity of you guys. You are doing it because HAVE to do it, fixing things, showing people how to do the stuff you do, putting up a show AND having a blast all at the same time. This is your thing. Ordered more stickers. The show must go on! :)

This video is going to blow up, as it should. The amount of work put into this video is immense
The list of mods you can do legally in Germany:
Nein/250
TÜV sagt nein
SoKo sagt ebenfalls nein ;)
Unless you skirt around some of the rules my being an american in Germany.... In which case i am happy
U can change lights to aftermarket if certificated (Exx) aftermarket grill also, lover car by good certificated coils also is possible.
Don't tell me all is illegal
Same here in France... and we all say thanks EU...
This is such a great video, but even better if you have been following Marty and Moog for the last 11 years. This just puts such a smile on my face. Such a great recap of such a long journey. Guys, please never change. You two inspire and help build so much. You guys are the greatest of all time!!!!
I tried to find something worthy of watching on Amazon prime. Inevitably I come back to watch MCM. This is a whole lot more entertaining. Which is a grand understatement.
Wrong title, dudes. For all that sampling and editing it should be called "NOW that's what I call Mighty Car Mods" 1 (yes, I want more)

@Mighty Car Mods Its amazing to be reminded of the past 10 years all in one video. This must have taken forever. Thank you guys for all the awesome videos!
Great tips, Now I just need a car…

Admittedly my first mcm video in a long time 😅 still will always be one of my most favorite car channels the borrowing cars through the outback series is the best thing on youtube
Loved this video! Seeing all the old MCM episodes took me right back... I remember watching all of them.
Best tip ever, when waiting to turn in front of oncoming traffic to turn into an intersection or driveway ect, always keep the wheels pointing straight until you actually make the move. This life saving tip should really be taught at school.
My hat off to you guys for including this information.
Some of these "tips", lol! "Want more power? Swap in an engine with more cylinders" like it's that simple. Keep on keepin' on, guys!
Want more power? Buy a lambo, then put nitrous in it and get a degree in electrical engineering so you can tune it for that extra 5 hp. Then adjust your sitting position
Wow! Loving the blasts from the past. With you all the way, thanks for so much mega content.
The beginning of this video really made me think this was a April fool's prank
Most of the video makes me feel that way
@@dominicchavez9649 especially the boot as cupholder trick
Hey guys I love this video it’s much needed! I just wanted to say that brake cleaner can break down the coating on your concrete floor. So the next time you spill oil it will seep into the concrete itself instead of staying on top of the coating. Much love from USA.
Epic, real old school type MCM video.....mad nuggets and crazy projects are cool to see, but the reason I started watching MCM was to learn how to work on my car
That is a LOT of tips in 1 go! 1 tip after the other, keeping it constantly flowing, definitely worked as a way to keep people watching lol no pauses
I mean, totally awesome job on the comp guys. I love this! Looking forward to part 2 in another 10 years!
I wonder what the police would say when they see you pumping your mates pressure sprayer whilst driving along mmm,dont look to good guys
loved this video. reminds me how i have grown up watching this channel for so many years!
I remember every single video... Gave me chills, so glad I subscribed all those years ago. Been one hell of a journey. Here is to many more years!
One of the best youtube channels for people who like ratty or ratchet cars, not shitty cars, just janky. I love it, and as a broke boi I need it
That Subaru oil comment at 10:13 hit me right in the feels. Always topping off my WRX every week or so.
5:51 that scream made me laugh so hard i couldnt stop coughing and was half dying 😂😂😂😭😭
30:55 "Weld in the rear end, swap ALL the parts. And wooshka! ... you have your dream nugget on home soil." lol lol lol, even got my wife laughing. Great job down memory lane.
First tip is the best! Also accurate! Thank you M&M for over a decade of content!
How could anyone unlike this video, 100% think theres something everyone can learn or be reminded of. Great stuff guys
thank you guys for all theses tips. I have subbed many years ago and never regreted it. keep on the good work. cheers mate
5:53 best part of the video never herd a man scream like that 😂😂😂. Wow thanks for all the likes guys this is amazing help my channel grow?
ikr
Sounds like the goat.
In space , no one can hear you scream. . . .
Don't forget 17:22... A close second.
KeyRider247 replay replay replay 😂
I really watched through all of this when I don't even got a car
Same man!
Same but it dosent hurt to dream
I actually learn a pretty good amount from these guys over the years. I really want to learn how to work on cars without having to rely on a another person to show and do everything, my goal is to be able to work on a car and to be able to do most things on a car that doesnt require 2 people
Never thought I'd see a MCM clip show :)
I sent them down memory lane 😉
I wanted to hear a harp and chimes and see the screen go all wobbly really
@@jimmygriffiths harp? Don't you mean intercooler
Next is fanservice.

The best 30 minute video I've ever watched about cars. Car throttle needs to step it up
"Cause there's a shoe in your seat instead of a mate" killed me, hahah. Awesome video; So much good information!
I just love to note the left side driving a manual? I LOVE IT! Since I’m right handed I think you have all my trust 😂!❤️
13:49 You're doing it wrong.
You POUR your drink into your shoe and drink out of the shoe!
27:36 Blue lights are actually illegal in a lot of places including Australia. Check before you install.
That's only if you're drinking Bailey's.
i just colored my side blinkers blue
what the po-po gonna do?
well find out next time.... :D
Some bulbs that are blue before install will appear almost white when turned on. This color will look better than yellow stock lights....I think that's what this tip was supposed to be.
@@Ronnaferd Well, at least if your headlights are on the bluish side, otherwise it's kind of a matter of taste. (I actually prefer headlights not to be bluish in the first place: I find them a bit annoying, partly cause they croak my night vision. On aesthetics I always liked that old Euro yellow anyway, (I went out of my way to find fogs in that color, even) but for HID lights I'd probably go with a neutral white.
I counted 252 tips.
Great video guys, nice helpful, and plenty of great video.
Yep that over 250 tips at the end did not disappoint... now though is someone going to time stamp them?
251 as they mentioned vinyl wrapping twice
Still the best tip and tricks video on RUclips. Because they give amazing information and have fun with interesting tips as well.
I always lose it at Neon Lights, I just love that song, bought it a few years ago on iTunes when I first heard it, now I own all of MOOG's music and watch them all the time, sadly can't do as much with cars, but you guys helped me find my love for it.
Seat position hack and keep the wheels straight until ready to turn across traffic hack, absolute gold.
14:31 My friend died by this mistake :( Got rear ended and pushed under upcoming van in his old small town car
damn...
That’s sad to hear.. lost my cousin to a crash not the same kind of crash but I’ve learned safety mods or a safe daily is worth all the money spent
Sorry for your friend. Actually think a few more safety driving tips would be useful. So..after freezing weather, lorries may have blocks of ice sat on top of them. Leave a big distance behind them incase these blocks blow off.
Spray paint your rocker cover red, it's the fastest colour. I lol'd. Seriously great channel. Motivated me to mod my Mini. Made it seem possible to do a lot of work myself. Once complete will definitely be buying some bits from the store. You guys definitely have a new fan in the UK.
You guys are hilarious AND helpful, and that deserves a subscription. Cheers!
That fuel gauge arrow thing blew my freaking mind dude. Seriously I think I must have owned 5 or 6 cars by now and I didn’t know that. How the hell?
Another tip, fuel filler is always opposite to the exhaust.
Don't ask about twin exhausts though 😂, just pop the door as you get to the fuel station so you can see it in the mirrors, or remember from the last time ;)
You can always put an arrow sticker on your gauge face if your car doesn't have the arrow.
Generally if it doesn't have an arrow it's the side the symbol has the handle
I guess there was just never any big fanfare when they started doing it. I think the first time I saw one I just thought it was redundantly saying "Fuel Gauge Here," then kinda realized on a car where it was pointing *away* from the fuel gauge what it was for. :) Some rental, I think. :)
I'm probably never going to mod my car but I appreciate your craft so I subbed. Keep up the good work!
thats what they all say
A culmination of awesomeness over the years. I found I didn’t watch this one until now.
You guys make such good quality content ! Been a fan for a good minute !
I always get the best mods from Mighty Car Mods💪
Skull cavity amplifier is best amplifier.
That trick still makes me happy 20 years after learning it, and people still can't believe it when you show them.
Which subaru is best subaru 😅
ok this is epic... Really appreciate the effort that you guys put into this one!!
Another tip to expand on the windshield tip at 15:00
Use a clay bar or a clay towel/mitt to clean your windshield. This removes contaminants that are hard to see, but it makes your windshield more hydrophobic which means safer driver in the rain! Just did this to a buddies car and he was surprised by how much of a difference it made.
I wonder how many people will be washing their headlights with urine and toothpaste
Well I live with 2 other people and we only have 1 bathroom so I end up pissing outside quite often. Might as well use it for something worthwhile
@@Raynedog00 your roomie is going to have the cleanest lights in town :D
Just use some ammonia from the store, that is what the active ingredient is. .
@@dksoldierdk gonna use their toothpaste and tooth brushes as well then haha
@Bob roberts yeah I could. But that defeats the joke.
or just sand paper and clear coat...
40 minute Skid Factory followed by 40 minute MCM - does it get any better?
This is an EPIC all-in-one video, work pays off.
This is really great stuff guys! Great job!
i was thinking "here is another clickbait title"
1 min later, i'm looking for a lip kit LOL.
Great video guys.
Mother of all car-tipps-and-tricks videos on the earth!
TMI In a good way :D Most informative video I’ve ever seen in my life,Great Job
Thank you for mentioning to hold the wheel at 9 & 3! As an accredited driving instructor I'm sick of still hearing 10 & 2 from every man and their dog!
9/3 and 10/2 both is good. 10/2 use with bigger steering wheel(old cars) and compare
I heard 8 & 4 is the new way to hold. At least with an Airbag
Meh. I use 6. That’s it
@@mateuszzimon8216 sorry wrong, 10 and 2 is outdated and the reason for those that don't know is Airbags, if your airbag is deployed while you are holding a wheel at 9 and 3 your hands will just get pushed off the wheel if you are holding your wheel at 10 and 2 it will snap both of your thumbs.
Loved the past ten years and can't wait to see what happens in the next ten.... probably turbo charging more JDM mad!!! Nuggets
BEST CAR VIDEO ON RUclips! I knew most of these but hey, great video!
17:56, that door sound.... love it!

1:16 Easier if you have your mate pump it up for you. (Gets hand job)

Love you guys I'm getting a ford focus rs soon can't wait my boy is waiting patiently to pro tune it! Lol
Super helpful. This is like the mythbusters of cars.
1.30 am. Early wake up tomorrow. Who needs sleep anyway?
3:13 am, here with ya
12:42 here and I've gotta be up in 4 hours. Lol
Lmao obv not that early if it’s already 1.30
Just saw your comment and the time is 1:30 am and i have to wake up early tomorrow. What a coincidence
Years of knowledge in 38 mins (or less if you watch at faster speed!) Thanks for sharing :)
For the fire extinguishers installation hack, there's one thing wasn't mentioned. Normally fitted on the passenger side front, make sure u check if the anything under the passenger side front because you normally need to drill straight through the floor and depending on what car, fuel lines or wiring could be right under the area u want to drill so make sure nothing is under the area u you drilling.
lets gooo!!! this reminds me of my childhood memories where in i had sleepless nights watching all of those videos!!!!
6:45
Totally does not sound anything like back in black
Last time I tested my coolant, I found out my car was pregnant.
#trackdayandchill
Yeah....don't you just hate it when that happens? Or when your gf takes a pregnancy test an it turns out she needs new brake fluid....who knew?!
preganerant
@@Perry_dAccard Blinker fluid.
Lol, I had a Subaru Forester for 4 years and never had any issues with it using oil..had to top it up a little maybe every 5-6 weeks depending on how many K's I did. and another good tip for oil spills, though you need to leave it overnight at least for best results, is get a bag of your normal cement powder, sprinkle it over the spill and it soak it up and help prevent any stains. I used it quite often when I used to play around with cars years ago and it worked a treat.
Some good tips there, a lot of them are not applicable or even illegal in my country but some of them were very handy.
You’ve got a sub from this video
Well deserved and really informative
Thanks
Another tip is ALWAYS BUY A VEHICLE SIGHT UNSEEN!
Yathien Sathis cheapest one on CarSales, bank transfer to someone you've never met. Of COURSE!
i actually did that last week :'D
paid at least 500€ too much even tho i went 1k under the listed price...
such a shit show but its loads of fun (to me so far)
why buy sight unseen? this means buying a vehicle without looking at it right?
Haha I did that on for my 3sge altezza but luckily it was only owned by a old man so it hadn’t been rented and was perfect
Alex Tsang u know he’s joking right? 😂 and it seems like u don’t watch might car mods often lol
Great video guys... Very handy and useful information...
That's another sub. Very entertaining! Nice job guys.
Can’t wait to pop rivet some garden edging to my mustang
- ouch that hurt
Will it hurt pedestrians less?
mack cummy well the three times I lost it and went threw crowds it sort of helped
6:10 Toothpaste and urine. Real OG's remember that episode hahaha
This is my third or forth time watching this video we need more of these!!
As a driving instructor, totally new to your channel, I’m so delighted to see your tips on correct seating position. Thank you!
I made a cup holder for my RX2, a small but strong box with a maccas tray tapped inside of it.
Holds 2 cups, so proud I guess.
Me too.. removed ashtray in my fd but mine only holds one cup, passenger can hold their own🤣
