Cool. One thing ... the lighter is under the shift lever cover.
You have forgotten it there...
Stoked to see the MR2 vendors I've been using the past decade get some love. I wanted to comment with suggestions, but I doubted it would be seen. So glad to see Throtl find their own way to the MR2 vendors.
" This color is INSANE " ME: Totally thought it was primed and waiting for paint lol
Lol x2
So true. Color is very under whelming
Freaking same!
Me: Wait, what??? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
red would look badass
@@soundbolt4776 red is so boring.
Mickey Andrade , you can restore softness and pliability back into old JDM plastic by soaking them in Aerospace 303 Protectant. You can get them anywhere and they work. Aerospace 303 Protectant is what car restorers use to restore old brittle plastic and rubber. They are advertised to restore and protect rubber, but they also work on plastic. Pour a quart of Aerospace 303 into a container. Soak every plastic piece you want to restore into it for as long as you can. When you are done, pour the Aerospace 303 back into the original container for use in the future. I have had very good luck restoring old faded plastic and make them last for decades.
castamir would this work for vinyl pieces as well such as the center arm rest? And if not what would?
@@sonderambition4077 Yes, it works on vinyl, plastic, rubber, leather. Use it on brand new parts to keep them like new forever with annual application. Or restore old parts by soaking them in Aerospace 303 protectant for days. Let the ingredients get deep into the plastic, vinyl, leather, rubber.
I'm planning on a 2GR swap for my MR2 too, so please show the progress in full detail. Really nice project guys
Interested in the MR2 content? I'm interested in everything you guys do you never cease to fail. You guys amaze me with every video you make and I'm always looking forward to seeing the next
Thanks Dave!!!!
"who uses a cigarette lighter anymore?" ME BROTHER. i gotta light up those blunts
MR2 with a Toyota V6. Congratulations, you guys just built a Lotus Exige.
Armando Alves - Yup. Does the hood scoop make sense now?
@@mickeyandrade3435 oh, that's what it was supposed to be? Haha, yes it does make sense now that I put all the pieces together. The scoop, the Toyota V6, even the clip of the other v6 swapped mr2 you guys threw in there sounds exactly like an exige.
Dont throw those front turn signals away!!!! There the JDM turn signals there just old. Please like this so they see it!!!!!!!!! They just need to be cleaned up!
Hm..... Interesting.
@@throtl Oh also there's some foam that tends to soak up moisture and rust the rear quarter panels, behind the rear speaker panels down at the bottom.
Yep, might wanna hold on to those
MR2MK2 - I removed it. 👍🏼
Beat me to it. It took forever for me to find a good set for my 93 MR2, it'd be a shame to toss those.
yessss 2gr please document the swap, not many on RUclips.
Seeing all the new parts come in for the MR2 is like an early Christmas!
I personally would have gone with a built 3S-GTE just simply because of the weight savings however, thats a pretty good and reliable choice of engines to go with
Just a heads up on your windshield install. Windshields urethane should not be applied to painted surface. In a collision the paint could release from the primer below and the windshield could come loose. In the case like this where all the old urethane has been removed the proper prep of the pinch weld would be to grind it back down to bare metal, just wear your urethane bed goes, then apply a windshield primer, we use Dow Betaprime 5504G, then apply your urethane to that and then the windshield. Great build though, you guys are crazy talented!
First? Or MR2 late?
Don't worry. I hate me too.
Creative rate 9/10
@@raleighbecket3615 I live my life as a 90% kind of guy.
Almost!
@@throtl oh well. Stoked about this Evora build though. Haha 😉
Wow i love how its turning out , only if i had one but a huge like for this video!
I called it knew it would have been a 2gr , good choice guys one day I will be 2gr swapping my mr2
Jc Kameka why? It makes sub 300
It's not so much about peak power it's more so about a linear power band and the sound of the engine , 300 wheel horsepower in a mr2 is pretty quick for a street car
@@Lolatyou332 Makes 275-295 to the wheels once you replace the exhaust manifolds. It's honestly a riot in an MR2. It's actually hilarious just driving around a V6 Rav4. The throttle response is a bit too touchy for me though.
@@Lolatyou332 this is why Toyota doesn't have a lot of enthusiasts these days. this motor completely stock with the pieces required to be installed in an mr2 makes 270whp. Toyota sandbags the shit out of their numbers.
@@jc76811 cheering you on man! Keep us updated when u do!
Jesus Christ!!! So.happy you choosed the 2GR and not the K swap route! Congratulations!! Best choice!
I REALLY want to thank you guys for being different and keeping it toyota powered.. btw love the content that you guys create in every aspect from educational, film and editing quality to the chemistry in everyone on the team.
PD. I'm Puerto Rican and grew up in the island and is nice to see the Ricky Stylez cars in the channel.
So much progress in the new format. Loving these full packed videos guys!!!!!
On the 2gr motors they had a problem with bad cam gears where the oil leaks out of them and you get a rattle on start up and can cause issues. Best just replace them with the revised ones and the timing chain while the motor is already out. Cool build overall!
Both this and the RWD Civic are my teenage dream cars!
Loving these builds!
Throtl/Hunt & Co. are straight KILLING it!
Did anyone else noticed they left the cigarette lighter next to the shifter and put the boot over it lol
hope they see this lol
No biggie guys. It’s coming back apart.
the mr2 is looking great loving this project love that cement gray
Lookin food fellas! Look for the 94 and up tweeter covers.. it allows more clearance for aftermarket components.
Brad Rivera - We gottem!
This is one car I’ve always wanted and haven’t added to the collection yet. Every time I think of doing this build I just can’t get away from a nice sequential set up with some radials and skinnies in the front. Just don’t know what swap to do yet. Think you guys made a good call though. I might just have to start ordering parts for an mr2 build. Crazy fun cars to drive...
You guys are the real life “pimp my ride”
I love Mike Reed’s 2GR MR2. Before the video when you guys mentioned it I thought of him instantly. Got happy af when I saw a clip of his in the vid!
Wish the color will be more sharp and colorful but overall love you guys
Good choice with the 2GR guys, I work for Toyota and that engine is in probably 70% of our vehicles👌👍
Id love to see you fellas rebuild an old school V8 muscle car.
Glad you went with the 2gr-fe motor.
Leave the black on the side marker.
It’s coming along! Looks really nice and wish I could be there to help you guys with it. Miss those days working on mine. Can’t wait for the final product.
Loving this build.. I feel the paint needs a detail or something, it just doesn't pop right now.
The metallic blue would have been clean.
Was hoping the motor of choice would be the 3SGTE but the 2GR is a monster as well
Maybe 20yrs ago...the 3SGTE isn't the motor of choice.
James Hartline Ahhhhhh naaaaww ... ATS does 3sgte swaps all year since it opened in 99 lol So I’m not sure what you are you talking about, son ... not everyone is cheap and goes the Honda way.
The 3sgte still sounds better than any swap available imo. 300/380whp on a 3sgte is enough for that mid engine base. Anything beyond that, is just sloppy since traction is ridiculous with the sw20 chassis.
@@hushg2000 It's OK, not everyone likes to spend more to go slower either lol.
Supercharged V6 sounds better IMHO. Granted mine being almost 500hp is plenty, but I'm still looking forward to more when I upgrade my header, turbo and calling it a day @ 600+/- without needing to even open the engine. I've had a J-Spec swapped MR2 as well...it got boring and slow after a while. Mine handles great...BC Racing coilovers, poly bushings and Pilot Super Sports.
It should be titled spending $50,000 to turn a $400 MR2 into a $20,000 maybe MR2 LMAO
You guys need your own tv show
You're watching it :)
awesome build thank you throtl for Choosing that motor
Nice to see Big Jeff visiting again
Hope you're paying the autoglass guys. They're great, and do a killer job !
Advertising their company to over 500k people is much better then a couple hundred bucks
JDM Dream Team - Lol. Yup. We take care of our boys.
Love how you guys are chefing it up over there, another sweet ride bro!
Yes A Toyota V6, I’m happy I saw build on this with a Supercharger, it was insane.
Hope you know you need the E153 transmission/ axles and hubs from the turbo Mr2 for the swap. Also modifying the tachometer to work. I just finished my 2GR swap into my 91 NA SW20.
Love how fresh the interior is looking
It’s so nice to see y’all building my dream car. I can’t wait to get back stateside and get one.
Mann I'm excited to see this beast. I'm literally thirsty for this car.
While I applaud your motor swap and everything youve done to this car to get it where it is today. Im sticking with a good ol 3S-GTE in my MR2.
hey, I use the cigarette lighter. I'm actually proud mine works, every other car I've been in either doesn't have it, or its rust welded. mine works like a charm and I light my tobacco with it every day
I bet that thing shifts like magic! I would love to own this car ❤❤
You got a link to that rubber molding? Need to do the same to my supra
I am so happy you picked something different. This is going to be a sick car. It looks killer in the sun. This motor is unlike any other mr2 on RUclips. Are you going to turbo this car? Great job guys.
I love Mr2s !!! It’s literally my dream car. Cant afford one due to college /: but one day I will and I will def make it one of a kind. 😉 That color looks so good! My fav car and my fav color! Love it! Keep up the great content! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
very satisfying shifter garnish install
Will you guys be using the na transmission? Would really recommend going to a turbo e153 over the s54. Holds up to power much better. Also as for that shifter I would recommend getting rid of that and going to a TRD or C's style short shifter. That one is too short from personal experience and made it harder to get into gear actually. Shifter bearings and redline mt90 as well really help the transmission feel.
yep, they will blow up the s54 with that power level. just a matter of when depending on how you drive the car. Also the s54 doesn't really connect to the 2gr whereas a late e153 literally bolts right on
The MR2 is going to be insane! The color is amazing still cant get over it
Ohman. Apex Attack videos are Bombs So happy to see and realize that he has a swapped motor
Stencil "MR2" in body color on to that black trim piece it'll be +5 hp
Clean 👌
Big Jeff is BACK! This project is insane. That interior is so clean. This thing is gonna be wild.
What a great choice for a power plant. You guys are awesome!
My favorite build thus far. That thing is sick.
I legit broke my screen in atempt to turn this vid on, love you trotl❤
Keep the mr2 vids coming.
Great motor choice! Thing is gonna pull hard! Lots of torque
love it! keep pumping these out, love the color, and the whole build
How is this the first time I've heard of this channel?! Subbed! I have sw20 project that I have to just get off my ass and finish it. This is some serious inspiration to make some time for it. Good stuff
Where can I get the voltage/usb charger that replaces the cig outlet?
Bump I need one too
@@yonseth788 Extra bump, I need one.
Exactly what I was going to comment lol

I posted a link, you just remove the little cover and remove cig lighter, slide in and screw on the backing hook up + & - and your good to go.
I like when you get a box and you all dig in and fight over what’s inside 😂
Good to see Evan has the same attention to detail as Mickie and Rickie.
FINALLY a 2gr build I can follow
Yay!! So pumped to see an MR2 vid! Such a cool little car
Damn the car looks so good, nice job guys
Subcribed! How did I not know of this channel until today???
@6:23 Dan with the fade into the background HAHA
HAHA
gottem
It's coming together and it looks fkn beautiful. Love the work y'all!
Throtl ViP squad Good evening Mickey awesome more badass MR2 content 😊👍 Evan with that V6 it’s going to scream and your putting a turbo in it to it’s going to be a fun ride 😃👍
That car is coming along so great omg
I was hoping for a 13b would of been sweet but this works to i guess
Ethan Miranda toyotas are supposed to be reliable 😂 but yes that would have been a very unique swap
Ale Read i mean they should of just put a 2ZZ-GE inside of it if they wanted to keep it toyota and it would of been able to hold plenty of power to keep this thing zippy
Should’ve put a 4 rotor in it.
@@ethanmiranda6245 Why a 2ZZ? You would have to rev the crap out of that thing to get power out of it. You get a much more usable powerband with the 2GR while still being lighter than a 5SFE or 3SGTE.
mrunabout well one the car doesn’t weigh that much so thats why you dont want instant power in a really light chassis because your just going to spin the tires out of it and they can make low end power
Keep the black markers and change the other trims to black it would look really clean with the black wheels. Loving the car so far though keep up the amazing projects.
Just get blanks for the front markers....much cleaner look!
Glad its not another k swapped mr2
Word
Yeah, who likes going stupid fast on the cheap.
Cannot wait to hear this mr2 run!!
I personally would have gone with the stock seats just Reupholstered and new seatbelts,
Felix - Not an option brother. The new seat mounts didn’t have s provision for the clickers. Also, running factory belts with buckets is never ideal.
Yes! This is the engine I've been hoping you'd do!
Normally, I watch these videos and think, oh, this is very nice,,, but in this case, Man, I want that car!
Se ve en la madre ese color brutal. Saludos desde Puerto Rico
saludos hermano
Wow, the sounds that come out of that machine or magnificent
The best channel for cars
thank you
Yup this car is going to be super dope! Good motor choice boys!
I believe there are several supercharger options for those engines also.
loving the looks of it and with that engine that should let a guy keep finding parts 20 years from now for it.
dayuuum that’s a nice looking MR2 you got there
You should buff the plastic on the gauge cluster like you do with headlights.
I love how Evan didn’t say 350 he just said the tesla was on the lift
My favorite project so far! I love Toyotas!!
I live in Greece and i see your videos i love you
Gonna be a great build but I would have kept stock seats
That's one sic ride now. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
gonna make that mr2 a rocketship!!!
god that MR2 is coming along nicely!
Ohhhthis is gonna be one of the sickest cars in the shop !!!!!
