I can truly appreciate a level-headed and humble owner who knows their car inside and out. Tip of my hat to you sir.
+Sean Cronin Thank you!
I come back to this video at least once every six years because of just how much I want this set up in an MR2.
Same. I know it's sad and slipping away every single year.
Once every 6 years?
The video is only 8 years old.
So you watched it twice?
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob nah at least once a year. Idk what I was on when I posted that
I can vouch for how great this combo is. I've got a '93 2GR swapped MR2 in white as well. To anyone considering an MR2... get it NOW! They are going to start appreciating soon (thanks to great videos like this reviving the popularity.)
7 years ago. How true. Now it's many thousands for a wreck.
Sold my sw20 mint interior and engine with sills rotten for a song.
Still had the bags in the back seats with the t-top covers and the sunshades.
94 car - Thing was Mint condition inside.
I never should have let it go.
its ridiculous how good looking this car is. I actually think it looks prettier than a Ferrari 355.
Macleran f1 'Lm is a contender
I agree that MR2 is beautiful, but better than 355... No it isn't :)
Yeh I’d buy one of these before the Ferrari ngl
I've wanted one since I got the hot wheels car for my 7th birthday... Also 666th comment on this video 😈
It flows beautiful with the 355 front bumper
Beautiful toyota. It's a remarkable combination. A pretty old chassis but with an updated engine. That is how you make use of an amazing car.
アンソニー i agree anthony
Yeah especially when the car already has great handling and is lightweight from the start. Must be amazing to drive
That is the cleanest Mr2 I've seen.
I bought one new. That was the cleanest mr2 ever.
Dude!!! No way I didn't know people did a v6 swap in these. Really great idea, I love the powerband and it seems like it's a lot of fun to drive! Good reliability too
Such a popular swap on these cars :)
IMO this has to be one of the most tastefully modified cars ever.
p.s. since we filmed this video I had 10 minutes behind the wheel of a 997 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and my comparison between the two philosophies does indeed hold true!
so you DID spin it when you made that left turn?
+Audiwan Kenobi Haha no, the camera just got a little shaky, that's all. If you want I can upload that clip as an unlisted video :p
No you dont have to do that but thanks for the offer...you make some quality stuff...I love the way interact with us and I appreciate your respectful attitude...thanks.
+Roads Untraveled You got rid of your mr2! why man?
+Evan93 ... MR2 of of the best!!
MR2s are so underated
Doesn't sound like your typical V6. Sounds sexy!
Personally I think this is a much better and much more informative video than the one take. Very down to earth and humbling. Very nice build!
I love the fact that the stock engine in the mr2 is the same engine as my 1989 Camry. (just different generation)
Honestly, for me, this is the best looking mr-2 i`ve seen! Congratulations to the owner!
one of the best car from your channel....its so clean and si mean in the same time
+florin colesnicenco I completely agree. Our camera assistant and good friend of ours rode shotgun while we were filming some of this and he wants one really badly now. Said it was some of the most fun he's ever had in a car... And he's ridden in almost every car we've filmed including all of the 1000hp builds and the Porsche 918.
it always crack me up when people say they gifted something to themselves for their birthday.
That means, he had the cash but didnt want to spend it on the project.. but for his birthday he decided to go for it. Thats what he means.
I was a second-gem SW20 of a couple of years, and loved the car. My plan was to perform this exact conversion, but the car was hit by a jackass and totaled, before I could start the project. Respectfully, though - this isn't a GT3 version of anything - it's a budget Lotus Evora... It's a very powerful, very civilized, daily-drivable sport car. An inspiring video, about a fantastic car!
Damn, it sounds so good. It honestly sounds like a Straight 6
I got extra two MR2 this morning.. now my coluction around 7 MR2'S. love this car
interesting swap....looks, sounds, and performs well too...to me this is a winning built, congrats to the owner
Woooow!!! 👀🥲 This may be my favorite SW20 in existence!!!!
✌🏾❤✊🏾
I used to always drive alongside this car to work down behind market crossing, i always tried to catch up to it in my Z in traffic to hear it because i was so curious about the sound. Now i know why it sounds so different from any sw20 ive ever heard! Beautiful car
+Some Body ... and nice vid!
great vedio. being a yota lover, i just had the thought of a v6 mr2 and searched youtube and wow. another dream car added to the list!
The look of this car is so timeless. Saw one the other day and it looked so good
Sexiest MR2 i've ever seen! Not too sure about the wheels, as the whole car looks so OEM as a whole, but great job Russ!
+Lucas Schaaf You can't go wrong with Work Meisters!
I think volk ce28 would look great on this car
Yup, those are also some really nice wheels.
the custom rocket bunny was good in my opinion
This video is mounds better than the smoking tire video when they reviewed this car, might have found a new favorite car channel lol
+rubioo93 Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thumbs up if you remember this from the OneTake
+im Schwaggy thumbs up if you remember the original roads untraveled review of this car even before that ;)
watch?v=MZN8gOJ1WIw
+im Schwaggy first thing that crossed my mind,, hey this car looks familiar =P
+im Schwaggy ... i agree 101 percent!!
This video has convinced me of the way forward with my MR 2 with the addition of a supercharger.
I was wondering if it was the same car I seen on smoking tire, glad to see it was! I can't get enough of this MR2. Best Gen they ever made.
I got a 91 N/A 2.2L manual. I can't wait to get this going.
most underrated car channel on youtube? used to be haggard garage but now they got recognition for how awesome they are
This build is really highly completed build !!! build with elegance!!! VERY NICE !!!
I could see myself maybe doing this over an NSX
yeah!
would be awesome put a V6 engine in a NSX.
Oh... wait...
what kevin said
+DIZAZZO i think he meant he would rather do a Mr2 V6 swap instead of buying an NSX
+Kevin Shearer yeah, with the skyrocking prices of NSXs. One could probably build a perfect V6 turbo swap MR2 for less than the price of a poor condition NSX
+Kevin Shearer relax, was just a joke.
We've got T-shirts for sale now! head over to www.roadsuntraveled.net/store to get yours! $15 USD for the month of December. :D Hope you guys enjoyed this video!
Definitely just finished watching Matt Farrah take this through the canyons. Great car.
I have nothing but complements for this video.. Good job, gents.
+Duane Wente thanks!
You guys have great production quality! The music selection is powerful and the camerawork is excellent and creative!
This is a complete dream build for me.
Excellent work!
Thanks!!
The sound of the engine is like the early 90s NSX
I love this car. I have a rhd 300zx and this excites me. great job on a simple build with balls!!!
Amazing car and part of the reason I decided to put a 2GR in mine. But I decided on a Link G4+ Fury ECU, water/meth injection and now putting a GT3582r on it.
This film honored Toyota MR2
Great documentary and I love the MR2!! Thanks for sharing
my dream car right here ! 😍
+noel leal feel free to see my mr2 original car with the turbo engine 249,000 km
This is really cool. I have a Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharged NSX with a built engine and this V6 conversion just wet my appetite for a next project car.....
really cool. I recently acquired a 1991 mkii. Its in pretty decent shape for having about 142m but im already looking forward to doing something like this eventually.
Waited on the owner of this beast at work today, glad we got to meet eachother! See ya at Emily's next year!
an intro like this is a billion times better than flashy video editing and crazy dubstep shit over the top... makes you really feel in love with the car
Really nice ride, smart and effective swap, hot rodding (hope to not offend anyone) at its best. Good job!
Such a beautiful car with such a unique sound! Work meisters are perfect for that car as well
That is the best MK2 mr2 I've ever seen. I want to do something like this for my next project
Love the front bumper and side sills.
Sounds like million bucks and reliable 👌
I miss my MR2.
Hard to cart a family about in one though. Ahh... long lost youth.
The Stallion that would mount the world.
i love the idea off putting stickers under the hood
Dunno, it looks great, but one of the best parts about the 3SGTE is the sound it makes spooling up right behind your head
Looks great, nice and clean styling. A lot of MR2 SW20 are modified sooo wrong, in a way that detracts from the original lines of the car and uglifies the car with bits sticking out all over the place. But not this one, it retains that MR2 lines with the modifications. Good job.
one of the best looking cars ever made... I've owned 2.. and I will own another in the future again
great build and I like that you're not chasing power only. Most keyboard warriors have never actually driven a vehicle with 300+hp atw to begin with. Anything over 120mph on a public road is fast and anything can happen on public roads as well~keep up the great work!-)
The cleanest MR2 i have ever seen, sounds so good and brutal
2GR-FE FTW!
Having real trouble here.
I've been set to replace my BMW E46 320i with an MR2 Roadster but I owned and loved an sw20 94 na for many years. I'm so tempted to find a v6 modded sw20.
I always thought the problem with the gs-ge was the lack of torque low down.
On a UK motorway it wasn't anywhere near as good overtaking as the BMW and on an A-road in the highlands of Scotland you really had to pick your moments.
Seems to me the V6 swap would fix that.
I'd miss the really peaky sportscar feel of the GS-GE but I'd probably enjoy the torque of the car more.
And that chasis and bodyshape is still about my favourite.
Such a nice shape.
Thx for posting,
Luv and Peace.
I bought a 2006 BMW Z4 2.5si.
It has a wonderful N52 engine that revs to 7k.
It has M suspension and goes round corners like it's on rails with the ability to provoke a bit of slide if you turn the ECT off.
It even has a great boot so my girlfriend and I can go on road trips for the week.
Really great car.
In many ways better than my MR2. I can overtake much easier and it holds the road better.
It's not as exciting though.
The sound from the six up front is amazing but it's nowhere near as intense as the 3s-ge with a K+N 54i and a 3.5 inch janspeed backbox and a higher flow sports cat.
That Mr2 sounded like a supercar. The K+N had this ability to add a delay to the sound so you heard the inital and then a second sound so it sounded more like a V8 or something.
As the revs built you got the same positive interference and harmonics so it sounded really good.
The Z4 is faster but the MR2 felt more epic to drive.
I need to own one again and convert it to a modern Toyota V6 and supercharge it.
Luv and Peace.
Words cannot describe how much I want a V6 MR2. Infact, I've been planning it for years hehheh
OMG same here. But, I'm broke..
I'm not knocking your accomplishments, I think what you done is great. We need more people that think outside of the box. since I was a teenager I always wanted to crossdress cars. I have family members engine swaps so I knew about that already. in the domestic our world people take big blocks out of whatever and put them practically in or on anything they can get them on.
However I'm the type of guy you would see a car that you like the way it looked but didn't like the way for looked or sounded . I'm just a Honda motor guy so don't take any offense to what I say. you've done something great congrats
That MK2 is glorious. Whatever a great sound, too!
Good combo for a mid rear platform; Koodos to you sir.
Ok i get it. Love it, had one for 13 yrs before moving on to a 911 and other Porsches, but video was more talk than show .
You can check it out on the smoking tire one take a few of the owner's auto-x events
The only thing I don't like on this car is the clear turn signal and side marker lenses. I feel it needs that amber aesthetically to break up the expanse of white in the front.
cant wait to get my MR2
Did you get one?
Did you get one?
Did u get 1?
Diggin the High & Tight Motorsports sticker with the Sergeant rank on it. I want one.
+Hernando Ornelas
Yup, that shows a long time MR2 fanatic, right?
Man, I just love when they just keep the vehicle's integrity. The car looks slick as fuck.
Sweet! I had a mk1 and sold it like a fool 15 years ago.
it's a getto lotus... I love it!
My first car was a 97 Camry that I swapped in a 1mz-fe with a trd supercharger that made 310 at the tire. Reminds me of that with him having the v6
First thought - spirit of Lotus Evora.
I think more of an Exige S
Love, love, love, this car! Love the looks and the sound! Love the interior as well. That celica wheel is perfect
I've considered a v6 in my sw20 but the two stroke style power rush is so addictive and on the strip the tweeked 3sgte trounces even blown v6"s
awesome job on the car. This is sweet. I view this more as an analogue to the Lotus Elise, to be pedantic.
This video makes me love my MR2 even more
Videos never fail to amaze me! ever since i saw the White 3rd gen supra, i was driven to some day buy one or maybe an MK4
What a slick machine and great video! When I got my Supra there was a SW20 MR2 Turbo right beside it, if it wasn't for the fact it was yellow I probably would have gotten that instead.
+paradoxdesigns .. MR2 is great!!
sounds freaking amazing
Its crazy to me how underrated this channel is. You do great editing and it deserves way more views. You are struggling to hit 10k a video nowadays.
Such a absolutely gorgeous mr2! Done well mate :)
Well very nice. I was surprised you could make the power you were without it. Makes more sense. I am definitely liking it.
OMG eargasm & eyegasm when I saw & heard this thing :D
Damn! Dyno'd in my home town! Way cool to know this car is lurking in my area. Would love to see it sometime!
It was dyno'd at KO Racing, but I live in Vancouver, BC. I'm often down for any of the bigger meets though.
Hopefully I'll see you around sometime! Would love to see your car in person.
That is awesome build, I went to BCMR2 meet i think 2004 awesome people there, I'm from Calgary and would love to do this swap on the first gen
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THIS CAR! i just didnt remember it was on the smoking tire!
Yep, go it! Go V6. I have a bored up '88 Fiero GT with turbo. And the V6 sound is just super. BTW I want Matt Fatah to drive my baby too. If you can give me directions to get there, I'd be appreciative.
He's in the LA area, so you will have to email him at the smokingtire and try to set something up.
+immoralityMR2 Thanks mate.
Every time I talk myself out of getting the 2GR in the future because of how expensive it is I watch this and say, Nope I gotta have it. haha
+90beastmaster
The price comes down more and more each day! The more you can do yourself the lower the cost as well.
I've been here since 10k subscribers and let me tell you what, your content just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the good stuff :)
+Agustín Franco Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful build.
Man now I wish I had a v6 but I like my turbo 🤤
Quite weird i came across this channel while i was searching up V6 MR2 using the engine from a IS350/RX250. Then i seen this.
Such a beautiful car, nice build!
old Toyotas really are all that. great review! AE86 next? 😀
It looks just like Portland up there!
You are slowly accumulating more and more subs faster and faster huh, you so deserve more subs than that.
The difference to a turbo is: You do not know - you know it better before you know anything, perhaps a mix of intellect and emotion. V6 Turbo to go.
Big engine ok, - turbocharged engine OK: One reason because you live.
Btw. I checked out the V6NA in the MR2. Nice i love it in my Jag Estate. 2 Seater suicide car? Turbo!
