Ummm guys, what's the deal with the trash wobbly camerawork ?? 🤮
Jason Bourne fight scene camerawork went out of fashion 15yrs ago 🫤
I have a silver one of these you can have for free
You guys need "look mum no computer" to help you out :)
just a heads up but you may already know the little ps2 badge on the disk drive spins so its the right way on its side and stood up, give it a try i didnt know for 15 years 😂😂
Hi guys, i was one of the original builders of the fto, i was one who did the original iteration of the boot build what had sony subs, and was one done over 22 years ago
Aaaand up you go! We need to hear more of your stories! Hows Tina btw?! 😂
Don't read my name
How is tina doing?
I would never have admitted to that
@@samholdsworth420 it was a good job in the boot
Edwin: "These are the largest flames I've ever seen."

Don't read my name
Should have asked Taylor, he’s seen even bigger flames coming out his neighbors unit
Rip those DVDs and upload to Internet Archive. We can't let such a slice of early 00s car culture get lost into history.
The people need to know…. What did Tina do to the fto?
I don’t know - they censored it to avoid any potential demonetisation and shocking everyone
@@thebr0wnhornet The car most definitely recieved more action than me.
@@thebr0wnhornet She F'd the TO out of it
Honestly would be an awesome thing
My dad Richard built this car! And I LOVED it I got taken to the primary school disco in this bad boii and all the kids were jealous when I got out and the doors went up! Most popular I’ve ever been tbh 😂 this video made me so happy to see it again!
by any chance do you know who tina is
To the top… got to get a feature on the next video! 😂
@@bearwynn I was only like 7 so I’m gonna say thank fully no! but I do remember women in very short shorts 😅 all the FUEL women. Although this is probably the moment I ask my dad and he says yeah remember Tina she was (fill in blank) and it will haunt me 🤣
@@scottporter2513 me and my dad are having a laugh bringing up the memories of this car and it’s TWO siblings 👀
@@Ashlea64318 Two?! That’s a whole other video! Love it. So many memories from that era. 😊
You selling the dvds? ……… asking for a friend
Also would be interested in dvd…….. also for a friend
We must all have the same mutual friend then because I’m interested too
I'd have them too. Asking for myself. Really curious what was going on there.
/same for a friend of course
There's a seller on the bay of e who has a heap for sale for a fiver.
A good idea would be to sell those DVDs on the TDC shop
And use most of the profit to pay for the partial restoration
Signed by Tina and the crew.
Don't read my name
@@beesleyben put a wig on Will and call her Tina from now on lol
If the DVDs are age restricted they'll need a licence.
You'll need to double check the serial number, but that might be a Automobile Snow White color PS2 SCPH-30000, which are like a grand. There were a limited number of PS2 consoles painted with automotive paint and that looks like it may be one of them
Nah , its normal silver one , I have the same one , mine is SCPH-50004
That would be too good to be true, I would also say it's just a normal silver one
It's still rare to see a silver
The white ones are from japan and only play and read discs from regions of Japan
lucky it wasn't a manual.. i'd hate to know where that gear stick's been 🤣
Oh I missed that auto bit.. But yeah Tina riding the gear stick like galloping on horse... Sticky Tina lol
'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast' is a 90's Red Dwarf quote! & why not have it on your FTSlow! 😂
Ace Rimmer! What a guy!
What a guy
What a guy!
What a guy!
Why not? you ask. Because it was never really funny and hasn't aged well.
Today's young drivers have NO idea how cool the early 2000s modding scene was!
To be fair, as lads who grew up watching Fast and Furious and Pimp My Ride. we knew about it, saw a few modified cars out and about, but on the whole the general consensus between me and my mates was that they were all a bit naff.
I don’t any of the Max Power era cars have aged very well at all.
One of my favourite weekend activities as a 15 year old was hanging around bus stops in town with a Bacardi Breezer watching the endless laps the local modified cars used to do. Novas, Fiestas, Saxos, Astra GTEs... Never understood why my mates wanted to chase girls instead. Weirdos.
@@LongLiveHelghastI didn't like the max power era at all either. Good riddance.
It sure beats all the pops-and-bangs Fiesta ST "builds" you see on the roads now
@LongLiveHelghast you're not wrong they haven't aged well at all but it was very fun at the time...
6:35 That small red button, the car shutting off, and the "eeeeeeeeeeeee" noise make me belive that button is for the flame kit. A lot of modern day flame kits just shut off the power to the engines coilpacks, and route it to the coil for the spark plug in the exhaust. If you want, try revving the car, and holding WOT, and pressing the button. If everything works, the injectors should still pulse fuel into the cylinders, the spark plug in the engine wont do anything, and the raw fuel+air will get ignited as it exits the exhaust.
Exactly as stated, had a “dragons breathe” flamer kit on my GSi back in the early 00’s and the button kills the coils for the engine and starts the coil for the exhaust. Rev the engine up, press and hold the button whilst keeping WOT and then release the button before the engine stalls 👍🏻
You guys should give away a DVD with each shirt purchase, some type of special edition shirt with FTO graphics. Would be a really cool gag type gift.
That car stinks like 2002 Pimp my Ride era
I love it
Don't read my name
too bad a lot of the show was faked
i used to love xhibit back then
probably stinks of a lot more given the dvd's
What t shirt do I need to buy to get a copy of the dvd thrown in? For the modified cars, of course.
I could tell you so many stories about that car including how to work the flamer kit. I know because I built it
Scrolled through so many comments to find you dad 😂
@@Ashlea64318 yeah the comments have been many and funny! Bet they’re all jealous because I was there when that video was made 😅
@@thecre8ors 🙉🙉 La La La La La hahaha
@@Ashlea64318 Bahahahahaha. Dad better pay for therapy if this DVD gets out.
Could you tell us who Tina is?? Asking for a friend
The Max Power era was something to behold.
Also that DVD must have been terrible, shocking, depraved stuff...are you planning on selling those copies?
The pink fto hasn't had tax or MOT since end of 2009
And it hasnt had a new owner since 2007
RIP
Don't read my name
its long gone then 😢
Not necessarily... the Max Power 106 I rebuilt in 2021 hadn't had an MOT since 2005, so it didn't show up on the online database 😅
The DVD segment was hilarious
Don't read my name
😂😂😂
The dvd section... "Then things changed when tina appeared" ... Queue youtube ad featuring Tina Fey.
Oh the timing. 😂😂😂😂
those NOS bottles cost 600 USD alone, this is such a legendary RICE machine, i love it
I love that you guys are giving the Max Power era the attention it deserves. Just as important a period in car modding as any other, some of these builds were MENTAL.
Thanks lads!
This needs to be fully restored to its 2000s glory
Put a decent engine in it. I don't understand how the current nos will affect the stock block?!
@@geoffwatches 🤦🤣🤣🤣
Boys I think this is your cue to make a TDC patreon with extended cuts! Cannot get enough of the content and so glad you lads are running your own ship now. RIP CarThrottle
*cue
@@elemar5edited, thank you
I’m a little older than you two but am still of the Max Power generation. For me this is the best car you have bought yet, please get it back to its former glory. 👍
"Smoke me a kipper......" is a quote from RED DWARF (BBC TV show) circa 1993
Ace Rimmers old car. Was waiting for a Red Dwarf comment......
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas
Bit sad they didn’t recognise it. I’d say it makes me feel old, but I’m the same age as these guys on average…
@@ryandavies3070it makes me feel old, because I was a teenager when that came out and I'm definitely older than Will and Edwin.
18:22 the subtlety of this bit is just hilarious 😂
I’m dumb, whats the joke?
@@valen961 There's a sticker of the Car Throttle logo on Edwin's PS2, after the cut its replaced with a TDC sticker
The best part for me was the last 15 seconds of the video.
I've worked on and build a fair share of ICE and Hi-Fi systems in the past. So it was really satisfying to see the screens in working order.
Looking forvard to more content with your FTO
Max power, nuts magazine and channel 5 after midnight. I miss the 2000s. Love the channel TDC ❤️
Shooting stars, bottom, euro trash. The times we had. I don't think I ever bought Max Power...but I did buy Fast Car and Revs. Revs was my favourite.
Oh my god. Lee Martins Saxo!! That brings back HUGE memories!!!
That car is simply iconic and like you said for guys our age (I’m 39) max power is THE car generation!!
Cannot wait to see more of this!!
My silver PS2 still gets used to this day - bought new in 2003, amazing bit of kit! Remember this car from back in the day 😎
Now this is what the people want to see! Super fun stuff lads. You have to sell those DVDs as merch, hahaha.
Best .. Car.. Ever.. straight out of underground 2. Just love the 2000s vibes that it gives off
It's cool what you can do with addressable LEDs today but there is something about the neon glow you just can't beat.
Unreal nostalgia in this one. Please do get everything working and trailer it to shows like you suggest at the end!! Really looking forward to seeing all of the cool features come back to life!
The throwback to 16 year old me playing NFS2 for hours on end and thinking the corsa with one of those limited edition automotive PS2’s in the glovebox owned by my pal’s big brother was achingly cool is strong. So strong.
After mentioning wanting to see max power cars to you at shedfest I'm so happy to see you've done it! Great job.
I remember this car back in the mid 2000s, I owned an FTO myself and remember most people in the owners club absolutely hated this thing, hats off to the original owner for trying something different, must have cost an absolute fortune back then as modifying them was either figure it out yourself using parts for other cars or import parts from Japan and incur huge shipping costs
Oh my god, this car is a relic of the mid 2000's, it's glorious. You guys should 100% restore it as at least a show car...and rip that DVD to internet archive!
Weirdly this is probably the most excited I've been for any of the cars you boys have worked on to date! It is just so ridiculous! And Cool!
"Smoke me a kipper ill be back for breakfast" is a quote from Red Dwarf
What a guy.
@@Falney we're lucky to be alive.
Smeg heads......
Smeg heads or as Kryton once tried to say "Smeeeg-heead" @@Craig-wp3pz
“Whatever that quote is.”
What a Smooo Heeeee!
My mum and stepdad used to have a red FTO when I was younger. It was the V6 with Mivec and it went pretty well at the time. 197bhp wasn't bad back then. Always had a soft spot for them.
18:34 juiced 2 was very good, I remember a specific achievement that was very difficult, something like 5 million points or other absurd amount of uninterrupted drift points that you needed to do.
I remember the day I got it, I couldn't even celebrate it out loud because it was very late and I was playing in secret, with the TV on mute hahaha
Really looking forward to seeing more of this awesome time machine ! I really like the max power era, since it expressed the freedom to do whatever you want/can with your car. Even if not all of those cars were looking good or to be taken serious ... all of them were the opposite of boring or standard and they still bring people together.
I love TINA!!! Tina to get it on with the FTO Reunion and you'll get to 10 million subscribers!!!
10:56 - Loving the Red Dwarf sticker at the back next the exhaust flames. Admiral Ace Rimmer would be proud.
Good video - Keep up the good work, full respect from the North East
Maaan i loved Max Power builds, used to read the mag in the mid 90s. Cracking video, the FTO deserves all the love you can give her
Love the car, I wish so much I could go back to the early 2000's before social media and RUclips, I miss those days.
I love how Rory came running when it got "much worse"
I remember so many Max Power magazines and even a "how to" book for modifying your car back when I was a wee lad 🤣 I used to think that having massive exhausts (or multiple of them) was the coolest thing ever.
I’ve still got that book Haynes Modified🙈 got the Fiesta one aswell 👌🏻🤣
Australia had a similar car scene, but it was based around performance Holdens and Fords, and JDM imports. Magazines like Street Commodores, Fast Fours, Hot 4s, Zoom, and the most famous one, Street Machine. It was a real scene that has diminished, but not completly faded from the culture.
These a such a fun little car when they're not rusted through and full of electronics and wiring they don't need (at least, not for the show business). It's sad that I knew the engine was untouched just from the startup xD. This is such a childhood hit from the early 2000s, and games like Juiced (The OG one anyway) really helped with keeping these things cool. I own one now a GPX COTY, it's mint. Very cool to see this one
love the hidden bottle in the top left xD 12:18
2:38 smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast Is a red dwarf reference! Pffft are you even British boys? ☺️
I'm just a bit younger than you guys and the only thing I know these kinds of cars from are the old f&f movies. I'm so sad I missed out on those days, so it's awesome to see you get exited about it
Loving the content gents - can’t get enough of it.
The FTO is a top tier entertainment and brings back a lot of good memories of a past era.
Keep the vids coming. 🍻🍻
You gotta sell those DVDs as merch.
My high school English teacher imported one of these and drove it to school every day and I thought she was the coolest woman in the world for that. Gran Turismo 2 Taeivon Trampio feelings.
Great video, as an FTO owner for 20 years and being in my late teens / early 20s during the max power / fast car era this brings back lots of memories.
Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying this channel lads thank you for making it. I look forward to your videos and save them to sit an enjoy with brew after work.
18:33 JUICED MENTIONED!!!!
Bring back this era of the UK car scene!
i remember this car attending cruise west cumbria meets about 15 or so years ago , cool to see its still around despite the looks of it these days 🤣
This guy took "Pimp my Ride" to a whole new level!
9:40 Tom is an absolute LAD :D
Asking for a friend, where can I obtain a digital copy of that DVD you were ewing and ahing over? Again, for a friend
Drove past you guys yesterday near Stonehenge. Saw vents on a blue zafira and just knew. Then followed the little red Honda
Best video yet! I had a GTO back in the day, fond memories of these kinds of cars.
Riders on the storm. :D
This will be a killer on the road🤣
The boot reveal, I was just expecting to see tina's lifeless corpse.
Seeing edwin pulling out Midnight Club 3 just made me very happy this is probably the best racing game in history
Man, FTO’s are the bomb!! They looked great, sounded great, handled great… just didn’t perform great! If these came awd and had an evo 2.0T engine they would’ve been amazing! Also, these were so damn expensive to insure… it was cheaper to insure for me with a clean record than a TT supra auto that I ended up getting. Parts for the FTO were hard to come by. Do this car justice, try something wild if you can. Subbed for this beauty!
I rarely see any Mitsubishi cars on UK roads anymore!

"But that all quickly changed with the arrival of Tina" - up pops the advert with Tina Fey in it.
Not the Tina I was expecting 😂
This is my favorite video so far on this channel. So much nostalgia here.
This is incredible. The most early noughties thing I've ever seen. Reminds me of buying a 300ZX TT back in 2005 and then realising I could barely afford to run it, never mind modify it (although I would be the first to admit I had aspirations to go full NFSU with it). Fun times. Also, great choice of games, gentlemen: great choice.
I love where this channel is going. Mightycarmods but less commercial. Keep it up ❤
Ya they didn't shove a nine grand haltech ECU into a car bought on marketplace.
I know it's a long shot, but you should do a proper Juiced tribute to this car (yes, I said juiced because this car was actually in the game, ulike nfs or midnight club).
What I mean by tribute. A proper tuneup (a cheap ebay turbo or SC), nos, the works. You already got the Nos, and the "proper" cosmetic modifications in place.
Poppy Coral air freshener on the dash brought back more memories than anything else. Strongest lemon smell ever and we all had them 😂
i love watching these 00's show cars getting worked on, there is always so much going on lol
Ah Max Power S3X Spec! Mighty Car mods did some good content on buying these. You need two and a series of challenges.
Good damn this car reminds me so much of need for speed underground 2, especially the trunk. I absolutely love it :D
“Smoke me a kipper…..” I heard that quote on Red Dwarf (favorite British comedy)
11:00 threw me back to when I was playing NFSU2 and I was tuning the car, i remember this boot setup like being one of the options in the game
Love the Red Dwarf Reference
soooo where can i buy that DVD ? Asking for me... i mean a friend :)
The FTO is one of my favourite cars! Love to see them out in the wild like this.
Wish I’d been born 10 years earlier I would’ve been all over the max power scene, love how every car was different and the passion that went into making them. The magazine is great from what I’ve seen nothing else today comes close, probably an era in car mods that will never be seen again…
Nice to see TDC upload again
Welcome to We Buy Any Car
You guys need to link up with the Max Power Reunion lot!
They're finding and restoring these beautiful show cars. ❤
This is so sick. Love the old modified cars 💯 Hopefully I’ll be buying cars like this on my channel soon 🙌
OK...Freddy would be proud of you ... 😉
Seems like it's ready to for a show already
This with an orange flake paint job and that body kit from the pink one would be 1000% mental!
If anything, I would at least send it out to get polished/cleaned up as best as it can. For the most part the interior doesn’t seem to be too terrible either, but the whole car needs to be disinfected. As a precaution.
Color-matching would be infeasible in so many different ways, but maybe new door handles?
The red dwarf quote on the back 😂😂😂
Can we buy these dvds? Asking for a mate
I recognise a few of the cars in that first montage. Got fond memories of the Peugeot Ecosse 306 Cabriolet V6.
I had the same Falcon Predator Evo4 pager alarm fitted to my Mk1 MR2, remote locking, boot pop, start and the pager would buzz if the alarm went off with a range of upto 1km.
