Would be cool if Forza Horizon 3 has a DLC of all the cars MCM has done.
you sir are a genius
me and my buddies on Xbox had the same idea 😂
absolutely!
And the roadkill cars, and the B is for Build cars, and so on and so forth.
+Stevie Klaer and all the cars break down a lot
3+ years of watching mcm and I've never been this early
3 + years of watching and I've never been this excited for the next video :)
I love nissan
+deathwish3611 same
+deathwish3611 you've never existed.
Me too and I'm about an hour later.
hahah I know I spelled the wrong word fixed now!
You used your old driveway catchphrase: "First, jack up your car"
I'm so happy now.
#oldskoolMCM
My friend and I say it every time we are about to work on our cars. Although we say "Step one, jack up yer carr!"
" that song's about head gaskets, man!" *died laughing, and dropped my taco*
Noo,tacooo
the sound of the sr20 is why i have a 1jz.
Any aftermarket goodies on it?
that's why I have a 2j.
+EdwardAlcala all stock, but I'm waiting until I blow up the stock ceramic turbos, so I can go single turbo with a new fmic. And I have a 1jz because I don't need to make a lot of power. 2jz if you're going over 600.
+Coleman Reinhold And what is so bad on the sound? With the right exhaust it sounds very good. For example HKS Hi Power 409.
+Martin Fallei they all sound like a Cummings v8 running on 3 cylinders, and no exhaust can make it sound pretty. While on the other hand, no matter what you do to a 1 or 2jz it will still sound beautiful.
Here in Australia, you can get an RB30 for pretty much a case of beer, an an old well known mod is to swap a RB25 head on top with RB30E N/A pistons (acl, probe, etc) which are about $60-$80 per piston. Lesser known is that the R33 head does indeed work perfectly fine, with a small modification, that I'm sure the guys could do pretty easily.
I'm hoping they consider the swap, because it would become a tyre frying 5k supercar killer. Don't be afraid guys! ;)
RB30DET!!!!!!!
Moog and his sly crude sex references get cleverer every video
Right?
its great these guys bought the 180 back, i feel like they are revisiting their routes, this video is way like the older more amateur stuff which is really cool
We’ve got more MCM Garage Flags. Only $20.

cheers lad. ily
hey @ mcm , please say HI , YOU'D MAKE MY DAY !
Nice. also started this video at full volume so I'm gonna go peruse the store while my eardrums recover...
What is the difference between a 240sx and 180sx? Big fan keep up the good work
+S99Y Autograss team the 180 was never released in America and comes with an sr20 I'm pretty sure but there basically the same
it's 4:30 am was going to sleep but fuck it I'll stay up
Also 4.30 in Finland and going to work soon
+Myg0d me Im going to sleep xD
11:30 here but that happens around 1am here lots of American channels upload at night
+Boosted Fool they are Australian
+Krazz Gaming and the dead giveaway of that is.... they are not holding guns or being shot at. oh and the Aussie accent!
"I" personaly enjoy the show the most with killer editing, beautiful music overlay, the narration, and not 7 minute ramblings. lol Just giving a long time viewers perspective. Love the show. You guys are awesome! Cant wait for an episode with my fellow countrymen from Roadkill.
I can't believe I only just found these guys. Got here through the entire 2sexy series and still going. Awesome work, awesome vids, awesome awesomeness. Greetings from Gloucestershire England :)
will you guys please go out on the driveway that shitty garage is driving me bonkers
We're never going back to the driveway. Explained: mightycarmods.com/blogs/news/39488004-changing-to-stay-the-same
Damn, people ruining the fun
^^^definitely worth the read.....i can't believe there are people dumb enough to abuse the privileges they are given....like out of pure respect the one thing that should be done is to keep MCMs details private, regardless whether it's addresses, videos and filming etc..like as if they would pull out there phones instead of just watching and admiring people going about their business? i feel like such an asshole now just asking you guys for a photo.....:\ keep up the great videos guys! you're a bunch of champions!
+Mighty Car Mods I'm sorry to hear that. People are so rude. If I was a millionaire I would donate so you guys would have a place that's perfect.
oh my fucking god. i jsut read that and i always wondered why you dont do stuff in your driveway anymore.. fucking animals need to be put down.
Even a trashed 180 is better than a lancer! However nothing can beat the almighty impreza.
Except a GTR. Imprezas are for mums who couldn't afford an SUV, taking their kids to school.
+skeetskeetskeetnigga comparing a gtr to a base impreza nice nice haha
Cept an actual Evo hehehee
Savage "Nothing can beat the almighty Impreza" Was a pretty blanket statement. Considering the argument was mainly between JDM makes - Nissans, Mitsubishis and Subarus. Just comparing their flagship 'race cars'. I'd argue an Evo is better than an STI as well. Notice I didn't compare it to a Mclaren P1.
+Xaines well, at least they still make the Impreza. Win by default?
Like a lot of people, I have only caught on to MCM's in the last few months. I love the show and have now watched almost all of them. I am way out of your target age demographic. I have been racing for over 30 years and a your shows bring back tons of memories. I love the move to track cars for fun times and just watching both of your enthusiasm for what you guys put out takes me back. Thanks for making me feel all young and stupid again and I can hardly wait for the next show to drop.
I bet after each of these videos ebay gets a whole new search increase for "180sx"
You're forgetting Gumtree.
I love it when they buy a car I own, resale value doubles overnight. Second time now haha
No one is buying that :D Good try though
+Chris Goodall MX5s and 180s arent expensive mate...
legend has it that if you come this early you'll get a special message from the mcm hosts
Well like all legends there just myths, things of fantasy and to make people have hope but unfortunately like all myths and legends they're almost always never true
Usually when I come early I just get a glare from my ole lady....
oh mate just take two shots of whiskey you wont notice her for long then will ya
Or give her two shots and don't worry about a thing seeing as she can't handle her alcohol HA!
good one mate but then you got no whiskey thats the real predicament
Is it just me or can someone else sense some tension between Marty and Moog? Getting that vibe for some reason
same
Because it's secretly a battle to the death with these 2 cars
Truuu
I have always said that. I feel like Moog gets annoyed by Marty or something. Half the time he disregards a lot of the things Marty says. Maybe it's just me...
Im keen to see 2SEXY and the 180 go head to head...
I see that box under you MARTY! You are not fooling anyone with those 3 foot long shins!
"Uhmm, I think something's broken? And, I'm using that as a blanket term for the whole vehicle." Lmfao 😂😂😭
It has gone through a few owners, a few owners have gone through it, and it has probably gone through a wall.
Freaking A grade gold here, ladies and gentlemen.
Bloody hell its half 2 AM...
9 pm over here in Florida, USA
3:30 am in Sweden
11:30AM in straya
1130 in Melbourne Australia
9:29 pm here in Rhode Island
Love how Moog panicked for 2 seconds when Marty started revving the car from under the bonnet... like wtf is going on! Oh, you..
So I found you guys around 2012, weird thing is that i had already seen you in person before at autosalon gold coast, i had no idea who you guys where and am kicking myself now, ive gone so far in life and also not so far in that time, im technically a first year mechanic and love my car, every time i see a goat on facebook i turn into a 4 year old getting a new toy, i dont know if you guys will see this but we have all gone a long way since then, you guys also sparked back the interest in working on motors for me and one of the last things i got to do with my dad was rebuild a lawnmower motor and also my love of driving where i did a lot of my learner hours in the car my dad bought me, and i just got my ps a couple of weeks before he passed away, you guys have no idea the impact you put on others lives, im so great full that you and marty keep putting out videos, and hopefully one day i get to say hi to you guys, cheers
So happy to see some Nissan Love on the channel again!!!
The SX in 180SX stands for " Sex eXperimental"
Nah. Sex Xtreme
+That Regular Guy no just sex.
180sex
it's missing the "u"
180sux
U guys are God sends my 1 year old would not go to sleep so I put this on and within ten minutes she was fast asleep dreaming about the Nissan 180sx thanks guys u saved me from a sleepless night
For reference, the ACL part number is 6MKRY2799 for RB30E (non-turbo) cast pistons with moly rings. Laugh if you must, but paying less than $200 for an entire set of RB30+DET capable pistons and rings is good value to make a fast car well but affordably. Both the RB26 and RB25 (both DE R32 and DE/DET R33) have a combustion chamber volume of 62-64cc, up from the smaller original RB30E SOHC head of 56-58cc.
The change of +6cc of combustion chamber volume means whilst an OEM RB30E piston/head combination would produce a compression ratio of 9.0:1, the same OEM RB30 (N/A) pistons with an DE/DET/DETT head would be lowered to a compression ratio 8.2:1, great for a safe and large boosted output.
For reference, OEM RB30ET (turbo) pistons in RB30E/ET combination provides a compresson ratio of 7.8:1, which apart from being unnecessariily circa-80's, only gives a compression ratio of 7.1:1 with RB25DE/DET head combination, which would be a low compression slug with about 2 goats worth of lag.
All this before anyone even looks at how many cheap factory camshaft combinations there are for the RB30DET combination (given all RB25 parts available), the many monster turbos which fit, the buttload of bolt ons for the 25 for things such as manifolds, the S13 chassis complete exhaust sets, etc.
If you're clever about it, you can do it for cheap (engine ~1500, turbo, exhaust and manifolds ~1500). You can of course also just look at catalog parts for the conversion and spend a proper fortune on it, but when has anyone ever done that ;)
I remember when I blew up my 86's engine
And you managed to do that how? My 86's engine is very strong (well... healthy.... hehehe 86 life) with 167k on it .
puu.sh/qfOPk/bee798c157.jpg
+Xaines go watch initial d
Takumi Fujiwara Bruh, my stripped 86
puu.sh/qfPU8/5a07ea04fa.jpg
+Xaines sick
they always blow engines, poor motor struggles so hard to get out of that ugly box!!!. Hate mail incoming.
5:35 Am I the only one who saw the pube hanging from the bolt by his face!?
at 13:24, look up and to the left of Marty.
hahahaha
fancy seeing you here bud! Upload a video soon! We miss ya
+Carson McBride Dude you're everywhere! Lol jk, I'll have an upload up within the next day or so!
It's a JDM pube!!
Cool thing my 2 favorite car channels are doing a Drift project, both started with a car that won't start, and have different points of view...
The other channel is ChrisFix, he's doing a 98 Mustang
Hudson Blanco the difference with ChrisFix was that he had a broken fuel pump. Other than that it just worked
I've had a rotten day at work and this just made the day. Once I save signed money to, I'm getting me a 240 (that's what they're called in the US) and my Forester can have a RWD brother.
I've got money and hoes in different area codes? Did I seriously just hear that reference?
* Takes off bumper * Literally looks so much better already
I LOVE the name of the car, loved the singing too guys.
Made my morning.
Guys, you're almost at 2 million subs! Keep up the fantastic work :) I don't go on RUclips as much as I used to but when I do I only watch your videos! Much love from Victoria BC Canada!
wow moogs a metallica fan? thats awesome
yea, he has a tast for good music.
+bgomusicco You have poor taste in grammar.
+So Toasty I see what you did their.
+bgomusicco I pray to god that you purposely used "their" instead of "there" 😑
+bgomusicco He's a musician tgo
pantera!!!! Dimebag for the win!!
slayeeeeeer
Cesar Martinez R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell and Jeff Hanneman
+christian menchu 😭
Clearly Metallica FTW
+uncreativename *slayer
I love the budget car fix ups and challenges. It's just fun to watch something I can relate to instead of watching expensive super cars on TV car shows. Keep it up, getting better each year!
Moog's face at 20:19 is epic.
his smile is like "it's working, i'm reving it, but something is definitely wrong down there"...
can't wait to see what this is gonna turn into once its cleaned out and tidy
Should lose the body kit just like you guys did for Too Sexy...
in 10 years time that body kit will be looked at tge same way we looked at 2sexys body kit
no, it just needs decent paint- that kit is rare as balls.
+ZER0value no keep the green and black paint just paint the hood black
+ZER0value rare? What kit is it
+PicNaxe cardboard dream kit
There's something satisfying seeing two cars that have just been put back together just enough to work and taking them out for some fun with no fucks given on the cars appearance :D
This is more true mighty mods. I am happy to see you going back to your roots guys. The nissan rivalry ahhhhhhhh good times. Can't wait to see more of this series. Thank you guys for making my day haha...
Marty: You could have bought a golf gti!
Moog: why would i do that? 😂😂
I'd rather have Tay Tay than any Golf GTi
Because skids?
Man I needed this today!! :/ been the worst week ever
I hope the rest of your week will be better man :)
and its only tuesday
+Patrick Keating fr
+Patrick Keating its Wednesday 😕
+2nd Grade It got better as soon as he hit play
now this is mighty car mods. this is real stuff! I am watching your chanel even before 180 episodes came in, and that was one of best episodes. And I hope there will be more !
Ive been watching for three years now and this is my favorite series to date because of the cars history. You guys only make good videos
I recommend you use paint stripper cuz all those layers of paint weigh a lot and invest, please invest, in a new paint job which will look good.
Just dont paint it fucking dark green again lads please
+erik bundersen that was olive drab
Dawid Kusiak how about stripping it and using spraycans, it will be fine
paint weight? cut it out! takes less than 2 litres to paint one of these = 2.1 ish kg wet, dry its like 200 grams ish. you could literally remove the radio and save more weight.
Taylor Swift ahahah "everyone loves Taylor Swift!" Love it
All in Your Mind is one of my favorite songs, I'm so glad they used it, lol.
Loved the music - "All in your head" track. Starts at 7:57
Good work Moog
I literally pulled over to watch this.
lol
I thought that this was exclusive to Pokemon Go Players :)
+Crimson Soceity priorities, you goddamn right you got em straight
If you round off the bung on the diff/gearbox, just weld a big-ass nut on there.
It's awesome that you guys made it work again with just a few fixes, same as last time!
I've been driving a s13 since 1997 and I never thought they would become this popular. It's crazy. back in the 90's nobody thought of these as performance cars really.
first thing to do is jack up the car... anyone else remembering early MCM videos.. lol
Taylor Drift is already a YT channel xD
But this is Taylor Dryft
+Ryan Hard tailor dryfte
Taylor dripht
Taylor driffte
Haha love to see a Quebec license plate on that wall behind you ! Hope to be able to see you someday here in Quebec!!
It's worth saying, because a lot of people don't seem to realise, that fuel hose clips for carburettor cars and those for fuel-injected cars are different because on fuel-injected cars the whole fuel system is pressurised whereas on a carburettor cars it isn't. The hose clips for carburettor cars are like small jubilee clips but the ones for fuel-injected vehicles are designed to apply equal pressure all the way around the hose and prevent the pressurised fuel escaping. Fuel-injection hose clips are more expensive but if you think you can cheap out and use the other kind you're playing a dangerous game as pressurised fuel escapes in a fine mist that catches fire very easily and so you could end up losing your car, and possibly your life, if you don't use the proper fuel hose clips. I can't think how many injected cars (and other vehicles) I've seen that have had the cheaper clips used in the fuel system and EVERY SINGLE ONE has had fuel leaks, even if they were not able to be detected by the drivers, and were in real danger of going up in flames...
If the Lancer is 2Sexy, is this 1.8SXy? Jus' sayin...
Except its an SR20. Never mind :(
Cool vid guys, Keep them coming, How about a Unmodify your car episode for this 180, take off the body kit and make it look legit. who agrees ?
This is going to be the best fix up yet!?!? love your work Moogs!
Hey, tip for charging completely dead batteries is to run the dimmed lights for a bit while it's charging because dead batteries form a layer of sulphur internally which means when you go to start it it'll run flat again, this just lets the sulphur react with the acid and melt away, just increases chances of your car starting
Are those backtires Goodride SA-05? I had those in my 1.6 astra and damn they sucked :D Good for drifting tho cos 2 drops of water and u do skids even if you push your car :D
lmao 😂😂😂😂
It's probably because it's meant for sports cars. ;)
Isnt the Astra frontwheeldrive
+Krizzzy90898 Thats the point ;D
+CromezFIN oh i get it now haha
it confuses me how Moog is so jokes but his music is sooo deep
I hope you lads come to Canberra for the next Summernats with at least one of your builds!! Do some skids.... Look at some sexy machines from around our fine country! I recon you lads would be a big hit and have a blast!!
"there ain't no party like an S CLUB party!" 3:38, perfect for a nostalgic car!
It should be called 180SXY to be honest
I miss the blue turd=(.
8:17 and 8:25
Such a happy Moog when he's working on a Nissan. Like a kid with candy.
For a helpful tip, liquids and metals, when you have multiple metal types they metals corrode from liquid when it sits. Not saying this is the issue of the fuel, but it is something to think about.
Would also recommend getting a tube clipper. Cleaner cuts and much straighter cuts, less chance of problems. Especially with vacuum hoses this is a near must.
any decent length of time (4-6 months or more typically) sitting with E85 in a tank will do this, its because the alcohol in the petrol attracts water from the surrounding air, which corrodes your tank, and will make a horrible nasty layer of corrosion(even on aluminium fuel parts) all thru the fuel system, so you end up with a rusty tank with a layer of water in it, slightly corroded fuel lines, and rails all with flakes and rust and gunk in them.
this is whats pissing off american farmers with E10 in the states that law mandated it, it keeps ruining tractors they only use during the summer, and have to do a complete fuel system cleanout after its been sitting for the winter, I think the channel elderly iron has a couple videos on it about his tractor having this problem
I imagine e85 is a hell of alot worse then that.
also, you didn't loctite any of those things when ya put it together the first time round, apparently no one else did either lol
Good thing european cars have plastic tanks
eww why would you chose a common golf gti over a 180 ?
Adam Bezzegh and the Headliner is in perfect condition.
i like you guys so much cause every episode truly feels like im watching a tv show. and i love that. you guys are awesome never stop killing it!
This episode brought me right back to the "old" MCM times. Loved it!!
God what a hideous looking thing. Looking forward to future videos.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure what looks worse, the 180 or 2sxy in its original form. It's like they were made for each other.
+mrjost55 The 180 is not a bad looking car. The paint job is just shit.
If the 180sx looked like what it was 3 years ago, it would be decent.
"Everyone likes Taylor Swift"... Um no
Oh yes we do XD
no. just no.
Who doesn't love some t swizzle
Deep down inside we all have a little taylor Swift fan. Don't deny it we all know its reality. Secretly taylor swift love unite.
Taylor Drift not swift
It's been through multiple owners and they still fuckin got it back, NICE! Cannot believe you bought that for cheap because the previous owner thought the car was fucked...
Man I love s13 fastbacks, I was bent on getting one years ago as my first 240 but got a sweat deal on a s14 kouki but after watching I want to get a fasty to now. True story on those diff bolts, spent half a day removing my own diff and opening it up.
wow
it probably has been through a wall
sooo funny
lol
you could have bought a Gti.
why would I do that?
Hi guys, regarding the plugs of gear box & diff, i'd suggest using an impact gun if not as a 2nd solution you could just flip the car on one side(i.e. 45 degrees) and support the other side and you can do this job as well among others(used this method in the past when had also to spray paint the underbody).
The SICKEST car you guys have ever owned!!! Was so bummed when you guys got rid of it originally :P 180sx/240sx my all time favorite car. Really hope to own one some day. That SR sounds sexy.
Notification Squad 👍
wondering why would the prev owner junked it when it only needs a cleaner fuel line, change oil and tighten a bolt.
love it! excited for the next vid
some classic Moog tunes back in this video - awesome
I am actually loving this series guys
Is it that car humor is great or is it that humorous people tend to like cars? Loving the Taylor Drift crack, lads!
Glad to see the boost controller still on the car!!
speaking of mad golf gtis, my friend had a super clean red Mkll Vr6 swapped with volk wheels. Great car drove like a dream and was quick too.
That sound at 7:04 terrified me. I thought my apartment was being attacked by either a demon or a dragon.
Just as a recommendation: at 8:12, you guys grease your NGK spark plugs. This is unnecessary and can lead to over torquing/damaged threads. Any NGK spark plugs that are plated like those (shiny threads) do not need lube and NGK even discourages it on their site. Just a tidbit. Awesome show guys!
YAY! I've been waiting and checking back all week for this!!!!
if you weren't offered the job on Top Gear before Chris Evans & turned it down, somethings wrong with this world.
Keep up the excellent work, seriously excellent!
That 180 is a deathtrap, and completely impractical. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I have worked for a 4x4 fuel tank manufacturer in Melbourne for the last 5.5 years, we regularly get old fuel tanks back that have been sitting with fuel in them for quite some time and I have yet to see any with fuel as dirty as what came out of that filter.
Seems to me that the tank could do with a good steam clean to get any dirt and/or rust out.
"You could have bought a VW Golf GTI!"
"...now why would I do that?"
8:17 is the face of joy from working on a car you've created a bond with, even if its a ni-gget (nissan nugget)... Glad to see him so happy to be rejoined with his 180sx.
You lads should timestamp the songs so I don't have to go on a scavenger hunt for the names after! You have sooo many songs Moog help us out haha.
