I agree with what they say about the ratchet spanners, they are fuckin wonderful.. Mine were cheap but they work wonderfully nonetheless. Can't imagine working on my car without them
+Jonka Olofsson cheap ratchet spanners are the best. the amount of times iv forgot to switch to a normal spanner to break a nut lose and fucked the ratchet.... broke a mates 17mm snap on ratchet spanner once doing this. for the £35 it cost to replace his 1 snap on spanner i could have got a whole set of cheapo ones lol....
You can put whatever coilovers you like in your own car. This is showing you the process regardless of whether you put in cheap mods or expensive ones. Want to see cheap coilovers going in? Watch the MK3 episode. Want to see mid-range Coilovers going in? Check the MCM Magazine article on the Forester coilover install. Want to lower your car on the cheap? Watch the springs install video. Want to see a drift car being built with specific drift suspension and set up into? Watch this video.
Started the day by heading over to a friends garage to help him change out his brakes, then I get home to eat lunch and theres a new MCM video up, awesome! Can't wait to actually see this car drift.
this morning i was in a car crash, the roads were too icy and we did a flip and ended up on a roof, the funny thing is none was actually hurt, we were like almost untouched other than that i was thrown around in the car, so i was like emotionally fucked up and had a sick feel like i was about to throw up, i didnt go to school and just took long walks to calm my self down.. i came home and started to watch MCM, it calmed me down instantly.
Yeah I know right! I know I'm responding really late but uni whatever! I also want that Caramel crown song... It's in various videos but mainly in the Cressida build videos
+aaarubalaaa To answer your question in short, yes they do. Modern'ish usually come with strut/spring suspension. By switching to coilovers, you can adjust ride height, spring tension pre load, camber (if they come with plates) and dampening and rebound.
I mostly ride motorbikes, but this has been the only car based channel that I've watched that has managed to keep me hooked from day 1. Keep it up guys, I look forward to what you can do with the 180. Keep it maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
I have got D2 coilovers on my MR2 Turbo and it has literally transformed the car, it is literally sitting about 2 inches off the floor and can go lower, but it makes the car handle like its on rails. Mine are the Street ones and have the most adjustability for under £1000
I feel the intro pull out a whole younger side of them. Kind of pop rocky and teenage. I like it. Especially since this seasons special is a drift car.
I like this Season so far. Marty and Moog are doing a serious project which is something they don't seem to do much. Not that I am complaining about the other stuff. It's funny to watch them do cheap and funny imitations of mods (spray painted PVC roll cage). But I have always wanted to see them do a more serious project and it looks like this is it. I like it.
Plus some of us save up a long time to buy good parts for our cars, and want DIY videos like this. Took me 6 months of working to save up for my $1200 H&R coilovers, which I just recently received. This video makes me really excited to put them on my car. I think it will be worth all the shit I put up with at work for the difference it will make in my car. (especially since my stock suspension is done, having over 100k miles on it)
One way you can calculate the friction coefficients (two of them) are calculated is by applying a force to the brake pad and measuring the amount of force that is required to break free of the surface and get it moving(static friction) and the force required to keep it moving (kinetic friction).
i can see that. seeing as there is so much more footage to deal with. regardless of what you do you guys are doing some great work and have inspired me to some stuff to my car, just as soon as the snow melts in Canadia. You guys are awesome! if i travel to australia i'd love to meet you guys!
Running negative camber increases steering response for counter steering. It isn't the best for low powered cars as there isn't enough torque to keep the car sideways and you'll find yourself straightening up a lot and ending up where there front are pointing. But you have a fair amount of castor to balance it all out, can't wait to see this in action!!
Monotubes look exactly like a twintube (thin part leading to the tophat) setup, however, these are inverted monotubes, so the thin part is housed in the threaded body.
definitely. let's get this thread big enough maybe they will see it? i agree with you guys, i loved the civic build, perhaps if they wish to continue with the mini episodes they should upload full hour long vids on the MCMTV 2 channel perhaps?
10 minutes is what we get when we ask for weekly uploads guys, if you would have let them stay with theyre usual upload schedule they would have been able to make it a longer episode
Thanks for the advice - I don't mind watching adds if its for something I am interested in, and I accept that this is what keeps RUclips running - but they need to let me skip if I want to, as more than half the time I'm just not interested in what they are shilling. Most of the "good" adds only make you watch 15 seconds - the best let you skip right away - the Windows 8 add makes you watch all excruciating 40 seconds.
240sx was a North American market designation only. It came only with a Ka24e as its only engine option which produced 140 hp from 1989 and 1990 and Ka24de rated at 155 hp from 1991-1998. 180sx sold in rest of the world came with ca18de and ca18det in the early years, and sr20de and sr20det in the later years, the most powerful model being rated at 202 hp.
They are both in the music industry. Marty is a sound engineer and MOOG is a musician (all of the songs they use are from MOOG). They just share a passion of working on cars, so thus that's what they do. I don't ever recall them saying they are "part-time mechanics" so thus that is false.
I imagine the wide tracks you see on a bulldozer are more important for helping it to float over soft turf. The machines weight is what gives it the traction it needs to push/pull.
I have that engine on a sentra xe but without the turbo and I threw away the stock exhaust sistem and replaced it with one from a mazda 6 and now sounds great and pulls harder
Would like to see the same! Without fully adjustables coilovers like these with the camber adjustment on them, I'm guessing you'd need asjustable camber arms to get some mad angle going on!
Which is why I want to buy one under warranty, so that if something goes wrong Mazda will replace the whole engine. I've already done a lot of research and today I'm actually more confident than ever about the reliability of it.
quote from JNCMCM (Nick Coulson's youtube channel) "Hi-Torque Performance on the Gold Coast have done all the engine work. Big cam, worked heads & all the normal LS safety things you do."
The majority of the brake pads have a fixed area. When you increase the size of the rotor you are just increasing the radius from the center axis of the wheel. This means more torque which translates to less force needed to stop the wheel. Less force means less pressure is needed, which in turn means less heat generation. Less heat generation means less chance of vaporizing the brake fluid which means you have a reliable brake system. Racing brake pads have higher μ not larger area.

+anythinguwant did you check on ebay? :P
Yup couldnt find one
Look on ( Find A Mechanical Stig.com
anythinguwant shit I got 2 :) and no I ain't sparing/selling one!
I know exactly how you feel. Lost my job today, just got home, saw this in my feed and couldn't stop grinning. MCM you guys are my favorite youtubers.
These guys are flippin funny! addicted to MCM!
Started the day by heading over to a friends garage to help him change out his brakes, then I get home to eat lunch and theres a new MCM video up, awesome! Can't wait to actually see this car drift.
"That Moog urinated on" I love how he speeds past that like peeing on coilovers is normal lol
Code Xero he urinated on the golf not the coilovers
this morning i was in a car crash, the roads were too icy and we did a flip and ended up on a roof, the funny thing is none was actually hurt, we were like almost untouched other than that i was thrown around in the car, so i was like emotionally fucked up and had a sick feel like i was about to throw up, i didnt go to school and just took long walks to calm my self down.. i came home and started to watch MCM, it calmed me down instantly.
I want the 180sx in the house song! MOOG get the fuck on it...
Yeah I know right! I know I'm responding really late but uni whatever! I also want that Caramel crown song... It's in various videos but mainly in the Cressida build videos
So do we!
hey guys this is a bit of dumb question but I'm gonna ask anyways, do coilovers replace suspensions?
+aaarubalaaa To answer your question in short, yes they do. Modern'ish usually come with strut/spring suspension. By switching to coilovers, you can adjust ride height, spring tension pre load, camber (if they come with plates) and dampening and rebound.
i started following might car mods a few months ago and i've watched every episode and i gotta say this is the only reason i go on youtube now
I love the word camber ^-^
//CVAMBER\\
I mostly ride motorbikes, but this has been the only car based channel that I've watched that has managed to keep me hooked from day 1. Keep it up guys, I look forward to what you can do with the 180. Keep it maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
So this stops it from going fap fap fap XD
Go to MCM Facebook link in the description and you'll know exactly when 180SX videos are coming out. MAD!
7:36 what song is it from moog?
dude i've been looking for this song for agesss...
iFlex36 www.mightycarmods.com/collections/music it might be in here guys.
nah man not in there...chekced it ages ago
Still no idea what the song is?
i gave up on searching for it about 1 1/2 years ago man
This season is great guys. The 180SX is the perfect project for you guys.
i LOVE nissan!!!!!!!
i have a r35 gtr
Make a video then.
INEEDNAWZZZ probably in Gran Turismo..
I do though :)
Brandon P I have a redbul x2014 junior 😂
I have a mad black jdm mitsubishi evo, pen
The videos get better every season! Defo keeping up to date on this season..
The car cost $2300 to build? Those coils cost so much...
the coilover they've used are usual $1500 but they got sponsored man
Just got some coilovers for my car so immediately came back to this vid and it sure helped. Thanks a lot MCM.
there's just as much if not more editing in an 'uncut' episode, we like music and voiceover .. its what we do!
We often include freebies with orders! Plus every Friday on our Facebook we do a sale with random free stuff and discounts!
I love how you guys almost always use Australian parts, LOVE IT
been watching mcm since first season been hooked ever since!
I love that near the end, there are shots of the NZ drift team at the Tectaloy drift challenge
This is the clearly the best channel on youtube! Nice mods, Great songs by MOOG!
I have got D2 coilovers on my MR2 Turbo and it has literally transformed the car, it is literally sitting about 2 inches off the floor and can go lower, but it makes the car handle like its on rails. Mine are the Street ones and have the most adjustability for under £1000

:O :D I was expecting this on Thursday since you guys said new episodes on 180SX every Thursday so seeing this today made my day! Thanks MCM!
I like the new intro, good music, shows their personallities, and is just plain funny
your show really does make me happy.
I feel the intro pull out a whole younger side of them. Kind of pop rocky and teenage. I like it. Especially since this seasons special is a drift car.

i just woke up and saw this in my sub box, what a wonderful way to start a day
Seriously, my favorite build so far! Love it!
i love the new start to the show
I can't get enough of your videos! Keep em up, you guys are flippin hilarious and helpful!
Pretty cool to see the settings you chose for it, when you guys finally get it out to testing show us what settings you needed to adjusts please
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life......
yes!! this season is the best yet!!!
I'm crying watching this, I want my 180SX back and the guys who stole it set on fire, memories of my 180SX are the best ever!
Can't wait to see the 180sx finished
Plus some of us save up a long time to buy good parts for our cars, and want DIY videos like this. Took me 6 months of working to save up for my $1200 H&R coilovers, which I just recently received.

(especially since my stock suspension is done, having over 100k miles on it)
i personally like to see there thought process of how to do certain things. and there personality doesn't make it boring at all
this season is gonna be sick!
nissan and 180sx FTW!
every Thursday baby!
damnnn with those alignment settings, they are gonna eat through tires like crazy
Can't wait for the next episode. Look at that cannon of an exhaust to be installed!
I NEED MORE! Awesome episode guys, can't wait for the next one
i cant wait for the new episodes! im an MCM addict...
anyone else got the feel that this episode was way too short? we have been waiting since the last episode, and we want more!
I can't wait to see this car in action!

Yes, same person who voiceovers, hosts and produces Motive DVD, amongst many other DVDs
i can see that. seeing as there is so much more footage to deal with. regardless of what you do you guys are doing some great work and have inspired me to some stuff to my car, just as soon as the snow melts in Canadia. You guys are awesome! if i travel to australia i'd love to meet you guys!
From factory the 180SX came with a CA18, the 240 with a KA24, and the 200 with a SR20. All Silvia's came with the SR20DET
Running negative camber increases steering response for counter steering. It isn't the best for low powered cars as there isn't enough torque to keep the car sideways and you'll find yourself straightening up a lot and ending up where there front are pointing.

last ones were D2 as well

im 14 and i freaking love these guys, you dont need a car to enjoy them :)

YES! A NEW VIDEO!
MY WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS MADE!

Game on - MOOG
The song deserves to be bought on itunes.
:)
You guys never disappoint with your videos! thanks again!! looking forward for the rest of videos to come!!!!!!!!!!
the S13 is my favorite car of all times! Waiting for new episodes of this car is unbearable!
I am so excited for this build!!! This is the best! MAAAAAAD!!!!
They are both in the music industry. Marty is a sound engineer and MOOG is a musician (all of the songs they use are from MOOG). They just share a passion of working on cars, so thus that's what they do. I don't ever recall them saying they are "part-time mechanics" so thus that is false.
don't usually buy music anymore, but i made an exception for game on. great song moog.
Love all the videos on the 180sx build cant wait for more vids
Mightycarmods is awesome i like watch you guy fix cars becasue in the future i can see how to fix my car thanks Guys
I imagine the wide tracks you see on a bulldozer are more important for helping it to float over soft turf. The machines weight is what gives it the traction it needs to push/pull.
Wish it was longer but oh well you guys are busy can't wait for the next one !! ♥ u
I have that engine on a sentra xe but without the turbo and I threw away the stock exhaust sistem and replaced it with one from a mazda 6 and now sounds great and pulls harder
can't wait for the other episode !
Would like to see the same!
Without fully adjustables coilovers like these with the camber adjustment on them, I'm guessing you'd need asjustable camber arms to get some mad angle going on!
MAAAAD, can't wait for the next episode
AWESOME soundtrack of MOOG : GAME ON!!!!
here's to you marty and moog 2 mill on the way!!!
the song in the background in the beginning is actually pretty dope :)
i'm so happy you guys got another Nissan! S chassis ftw.
Glad that you decided to get 100% tech nerd on the suspension, camber and toe settings. I feared that you would dumb that stuff down.
Wow! looking good already!
I'm trying to install some BC racing coilovers to my 2012 CR-Z. It's currently sitting on a set of black and chrome //WORK Maisters.
the last minute of the episode when they talk about the tuning they did to the suspension went in one ear and out the other
I like where this S13 is going!!!
You know what would be awesome? If you guys made a video on how to do a JDM Silvia front and rear end conversion. MAD JDM!
Which is why I want to buy one under warranty, so that if something goes wrong Mazda will replace the whole engine. I've already done a lot of research and today I'm actually more confident than ever about the reliability of it.

cara vcs tem o melhor equipamento de mecanica que eu ja vie parabens
