2:28 Marty looks genuinely on the verge of tears. He's a true man. Respect.
Over twelve years later and I think this is still my favorite MCM episode of all time.
It's got everything; a story with all parts, a satisfying ending, friendship, and an RS Turbo Liberty wagon.
I can think of no better way of wasting mobile data than binge-watching Mighty Car Mods
same here
is it a waste though?
+Callum Wetten In my mother's point of view any mobile data usage is a waste of mobile data.
Steal a mates WiFi like I do .
One hopes a governmental agencie of some form is enabling this lavish lifestyle....?
"An SR sounds like a trying to through a didgeridoo" Fucking killed me
ITU Airsoft you for got a
I came here expecting Sean Connery teaching me how to resell my car.
Bahahahaha smartarse
Heh..haha...HAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Every time I watch one of these videos, I always think of two things. 1) That red brick garage is beautiful. 2) I wish we had more little simple town cars like this in my area of the States.
Agreed
@Wrulol RS Libertys originally were spec'd with Iridium/Platinum spark plugs. The stock ignition system isn't powerful enough to run regular copper plugs, however the coil packs were upgraded to my00 WRX items which work much better so standard plugs work fine in this setup. The standard plugs come gapped at 1.1mm, they need to be gapped down to 0.8 for the turbo engine.
this is my favorite intro from all seasons
wait a second
I don’t get it
Whos back here in 2020
Because I bought a first gen legacy, but I'm 10 years late to the first gen party :(
@@layzorbeeemz7317 neeeding ideas on how to start a project car especially for this guide even its not a subaru
11 years on and I'm now using this to help re shell my Civic Aerodeck after I crashed it. Thanks for all the help and great content through the years
There's one important thing he forgot to mention about the VF23 STi turbo. It's red. Red turbos go faster: it's the law...
@andyroo619fan MOOG writes all the MCM music (and yes thats him singing chipmunk style!)
... and every night before bed, Moog whispers sweet nothings to his unicorn.
#martycarmoogz
STAG162 The things he whispers are not sweet, and they are definitely not nothings.
ive watch this video a couple hundred times and every time i love it ! this is the exact video that got me into modding cars and subaru wagons especially the 90's legacy's! hopefully one day ill get to own such a great car like yours marty.
Wow. I recently discovered this channel, it is beautiful man, I am learning lots of things
I've been watching Marty go bald for 6 years now.. and he still has a shit load of hair.
Furness Prime Hahaha! Brilliant!
@hflee3 The shell probably could have been saved with enough effort and time, but seeing as it's not a classic car, not particularly rare (shell exactly the same as a base model) it's much easier to replace the shell around the good driveline, interior and suspension.
Funny! Nowadays you can't find any of these.. in Minnesota USA they're all rusted.. automatic, basic H4 with no turbo or shitty trims.
I really really want a legacy of these years with a sunroof! Which is ultra rare here
They're getting pretty hard to find in Aus now Marty !
I'm with ya Moog! Gotta love the Nissans. I have a 94 Nissan NX
You fuckin wish mate!
I drive an sti you wish you probably drive a smart car
an sti for the person with sti's.... How awkward
JRobCards Keep telling yourself that when a stock STI busts your ass at a stoplight. My Bora is faster than your car. A twin-charged (you probably don't know what that means; it has a turbo from the 1.8T and an aftermarket belt-driven supercharger both on the same engine) VR6 making over 500-ish bhp through all four, yes, four wheels. So you could say my car is a 2001 VW Bora VR6TC 4Motion. Oh, it also has every option from the factory, except for the auto gearbox of course. Because autos are for losers.
No you don't ^
The car scene is Australia seems so brotherly and inclusive. The scene in the UK is pretty terrible in comparison :(
Yep. UK car scene is toxic af, full of shit slingers and just general cunty-ness
Maaaan, I miss driveway days, sucks balls what happened but amazing to see how far you blokes have come.
An SR sound like a beep beep beep didgeridoo, laughed so hard.
watching these old MCM films really sparks an automotive curiosity in me
I always thought it was Mitsubishi against Subaru.
It's the impreza vs. evo
Mitchell Mortenson impreza vs lancer* or sti vs evo
***** sorry, i meant sti, its the whole rally rivalry
+Mitchell Mortenson Legacy vs galant
+SuperWesty177 Galant vr4
This show is fucking amazing. Even going this far back, the quality and love they put into their channel is super evident!
I think marty was crying when he went for the last drive. 2:28
I LITERALLY just got done doing this today. Had a 95 Divic DX hatch and someone hit me so I bought a 92 Civic Si hatch shell and had to swap EVERYTHING over from the inside out. I must say when I saw the video i didn't think it would be that involved…I spent 2 and a half weeks doing the motor swap, suspension, interior, wheels etc. Props to you guys for remembering to record this process cause i was going to do the same thing but just kept forgetting to press record >
Its taken me ages to clock that MWM 108 is a personal plate shared across all martys subarus
Vinnie Cross Martin William mulholland 180
And the first Micra. And the Blue Turd.
Don't know why but this is one of my favourite videos I can watch again and again
My grandma had one of those
I bet she chopped you like tomatoes that she chopped for your soup :)
PBJPRODUCTIONSTUDIOS spittin' that real.
Almost a year ago wow
One of my favourite episodes. Could watch forever
I live within walking distance of Hobart.... that is Hobart, Indiana in the United States :P
Rip, they're in Sydney.
+KaTsuDON™ you dont understand sarcasm.
+Reach Thats cause he has a prequel profile pic
I too live in Indiana in the USA.
+outskirtscustoms me too. South bend Indiana to be exact.
I'm sure most people won't care about this comment, but I personally own a '97 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport with about 291 thousand miles on the engine. Only problem I've had is a recent crack in the radiator, which was fixed with a bit of JB Weld.
The only thing I don't like about my car is 1. how low the ride is, and 2. how cramped it is on the inside. I complain about these things NOT because I like big cars, but because I am a 6' 4" guy, so its a little hard to get in and out of the car.
if you bring a didgeridoo to an awkward sound contest, you clearly have no restraint or boundaries
Love the svx in the background!!!
whos fz6 is that? that was my first motorcycle :D
danthemanzizle Oh thats mine bro sick az
Karne .Walker Nice, it cameos in a lot of videos haha.
danthemanzizle oh sorry man I was just having a laugh, just a fan bro
Karne .Walker lol all good.
Hmm, the plate says MWM-83. Considering SuperGramps' (registered in Marty's name: I'm guessing) plate is MWM-108 (as well as a number of his other project cars), I'm gonna say that bike belongs to Marty.
20:21 those black and gold sunnies were the rage back in the day
Glad Marty has a miata now
***** not just a dream a nightmare...
Aiden Finch I had a dream one time where my parents bought me a miata. I would definitely classify it as a nightmare.
I've been watching occasionally for the past 10 months since my Cressida was totalled. Reshelling with a new engine, but life has gotten in the way and it's taking a while. I feel empty without it.
nice job blokes way to sort it out
I basically did this a few years back after I totaled my first 94 Accord I went out and got another one and over time swapped everything but the motor and trans (I sold them off) and scrapped the old body, a good day is all you need to do the interior swap, suspension and wheels another, I didn't waste time labeling nuts and bolts just put the 2 cars face 2 face and swapped one panel at a time, the only "hard" part is the motor swap.
I got a car for free and it was fun I learned its limits and I got a shell for$ 500 usd
This is also a good time to detail both the engine and engine compartment so it's show ready when done. Maybe even sling some paint.
Subarus looked good until 2008, when the new Impreza and Outback came out.
Another thing to mention is there are thousands of forums (especially on facebook) that are model specific to a certain car or group of cars. AKA wagon mafia, subaru life, rally car clubs, (For me it's caprice / roadmaster / B body) and such so whatever bits you don't use that are good can be sold and put cash in your pocket! I have parted a few cars that more than paid for themselves just selling one or two parts and the rest is then free parts and profit that can be used to make your car maaad or pay for gas.
@Branden Scholl there should be a little pin you have to remove before you can take the axle nut off. Then have someone step on the brakes so the rotor doesn't spin and you take the nut off
I think it's one of my favorite MCM video
idk about u guys... but i FREAKING love the sound of that first gen legacy @ 15:40
Hello from AJ RS. From the old RS liberty club days. This made me miss my RS wags so much. I pick up a new STI next week. But it wont have the character of the mighty RS. Well done guys!
@awgdawg16 the first one was an SVX, the second was a Legacy sedan (or Liberty as they call them in Australia), both were imported into the US
Still one of my favourite episodes
Goddamn the work these guys do make my garage work on my GTI installing after market parts like intake and exhaust seem like absolute child's play
Had this in my watch later risk for 6 years. Just got round to it.
I like how the black one has a water intercooler, you can do some fun things with those.
I've never seen a first generation Legacy estate/wagon with a sunroof. That's got to be rare...
I'm doing this with my totaled ae86. Switching to a shell. As in no wheels, suspension, etc. good info.
Always sad to see an old friend go. I was crushed when my Mercedes 190E was T-boned. I loved that car something fierce, and it returned the favor by keeping me safe. I was so, so devastated when I got hit. :( Poor Marty.
"That is the most least fun thing to do..." Marty is so cute.
a wideband O2 sensor reads oxygen levels much more accurate than a standard O2 sensor (narrow band). where a narrow band would just pretty much show lean or rich
man why are these guys so awesome
Wow 6 years ago, still remember watching this when it first came out.
damn ur old
The boats at 20:03 are Sea Shepherd, Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker.
Check them out!
I just watched to find out what was meant be "reshelling". Glad I did, actually.
I love the pearl SVX in the background
By watching Mighty Car Mods I have become a very big fan of the Subaru Legacy. Unfortunately here in the UK 1st generation Legacies are rather rare and often are not in the best condition. Despite these factors though, I will own one one day. So for this I have Marty to thank for introducing me to a car with as much history and potential as my hero car, the Nissan 180SX.
im with you all the way moog! as a fellow silvia owner, NISSAN for life!
14:25 LOL! I love when you guys add in little things like this.
@7:31 background is a subaru SVX! so rare, PITA to maintenance though.
I got an Exedy clutch kit for my Lancer GSR, and after replacing the OEM spec one, the pedal wouldnt disengage the clutch at full depression, so the gearbox came out and I shimmed the pivot ball with a 2mm washer. Now the pedal disengages basically on the floor and has 2 or 3 inches of flop in the pedal (you can push it down and it will just sit there, and pop back out when you nudge it)
Ideas?
Nice JOB..
I tride to do the same with Honda Legend but got only to the striping stage ha..there is no good donor here in my area..
I like the cops making a cameo in the background of the final scene. Was that a taxi they had pulled up?
Bless the white one really wasn't bad at all. My current car (bmw e46 330i) is much worse but still passes safty with caved in drivers rear door from a car park hit and run. With 218,000 miles on the car (over 350k's)
l love the way Marty is wearing a mitsubishi top when hes waving bye to the subaru
MCM > TOP GEAR.
Are these stock headers? All I can see is that Marty put on an axleback or maybe a catback exhaust on. I like the way the exhaust sounds on the wagon than on most subaru's with UEL's. Hoping to get the same growl out of mine.
Much respect for the classic OEM water to air intercooler
There's actually LED dash light kits you can get off ebay, Just type in say "Magna LED Dash lights" for example and they just plug and play directly into where the stock bulbe go on the back of the instrument cluster they range from $10 and up for the kit, Or some auto stores such as Auto One sell the silicone sleves which go over your standard bulbs but there not as vibrant put a vibrant blue on mine and lights up as a light sky blue so the LED's are the best bet
poor marty looked so sad at beggining. u needa hug
I bought a wrx wagon a few months ago. I love it!
Hey if any of you don't like the grease and getting cut up try some non disposable long sleeved houses cleaning gloves. I found normal disposable gloves are only good for almost nothing.
I'm a Nissan fan, But after seeing Marty's love for this car, I'm starting to change my mind.
What I don't get is how did he swap from a TD05 with 90degree inlet to a straight inlet turbo? Wouldn't putting in a straight inlet + 90 silicone bend hit the manifold ?
hey moog I have a 2009 Nissan Frontier with a 4 cylinder engine. what can I do to get more power. why don't you guys do a truck?
I'd love to see them mess with a 4x4 or pickup truck too. Nissan Frontier isn't really a "truck" in the way of using greatly different, heavy components, so you can modify and increase power the same way as a regular car. Simple things like increased flow exhaust and intakes, a cold-air intake, injectors, or tuning it will increase power. More drastic mods like a turbo (or a larger one if it's turbo already) and supporting mods can be done the same way as any car, though probably far simpler due to the extra engine bay room provided by the truck body. Diesel's a similar story, higher flow exhaust and intakes, bigger turbo, tuning, etc, all will boost your power.
Do your own research though, I drive a Skoda so I'm far from an expert on the Nissan Frontier.
Greetings from Czech Republic. Love your shows. Would love to move to AUS, so mby see u guys one day ;)
the bond between a subaru and driver exceeds anything else
dude awsome show u deserve a spot on speed channel
Reshelled My Old wagon after it got written off major front end damage, That faithfull Magna Wagon is still around well half of it any way as a trailer (yes it's registered as a trailer in NSW, just renewed the rego) goes hard behind My Verada yes it may be a magna 1/2 wagon towed behind a Verada sedan with a few mods but it's more versitile then you may think as a trailer with the sticker stating on the trailer "I survived the Junk yard"
Really not into these old wagons, but to each his own. Thanks for another entertaining episode!
lol I agree, I love supras, but some dude said something about character you can't get with a new car, personally I think you can just as easily say every car is different as every car is the same, ie they all look/perform differently, but in the end are all wheels, metal, etc. moved by an IC engine ;P
Personally I don't like to generalize things like that, every car was created by someone or a group, made very differently with different target goals and ideals, I like both my cars (:
Actually saw this episode 10 years ago when it came out. I'm in the same situation with my own car now. Sad but has to be done.
Marty's was not a hatchback it was a wagon but your correct about the sedan part
Not to be a negative ninny or state the (what I think is) obvious. Why wouldn't you just do an engine swap instead of stripping and swapping an entire car? This to me seems like a lot of unnecessary work when the other vehicle is fine aside from the engine.
Dennis Kwasnycia Pretty sure they said that the community had requested a video showing how it's done, so yah.
He lost a bet so he had to sell his own car, but there were no rules about what parts he had to sell so he only sold the shell of his old car and put the good bits in a new one.
+SNIP3R that makes sense.
didn't they do an episode repairing the windshield?
I've watched this video several times. MCM is MAAAAADDD.
i actually have watched all these episodes so many times
btw, sweet videos guys. I started watching them yesterday, you guys are very entertaining
you go to devonport not luanceston lol haha, awesome video though guys!!!!
Would it be impossible/damn hard to drop a 7mge (6 cyl toyota 3L twin cam out of a cressida/old supra) into a dato ute? Like, what are the chances of the engine mounts and everything lining up? I have a tranny to fit the engine too.
The ute is basically a shell, but thought it would be a unique project.
Not sure if Marty does, but Moog makes all the music for the videos and I think he has a few record deals.
I did something like this once before, after I wrecked my old honda, I bought an Identical (all stock) one and moved every aftermarket part over, and swapped the grey leather interior from the old one in place of the tan cloth interior that was in the new one, and I pulled and sold the motor and trans that was in the first one and then took the old body and useless parts to the scrap yard because the landlord wanted the old body gone.
I know how long ago this was posted but still he should have saved the windshield .I have no idea what they cost in Australia but in the US they can start around 500 bucks it is always a good idea to save the windshield out of a car your going to scrap even more so when he and his mom have the same make of car .
