Hey guys! Love the build so far. Just wanted to let ya know that the company P2M offers brake rotors to allow you to utilize a Z32 brake set up while retaining 4 lug hubs. Used them on my old S13 and they worked awesome!

[@ChristopherHallett]

It's kind of weird that Moog hasn't found a better vocalist after all this time. Erin's good, but she's not GREAT, you know?

[@gunchaLV]

@@ChristopherHallett how dare you 😬

[@dan_lazaro]

@@ChristopherHallett I know a lot of better singers (I listen to a lot of Japanese songs). But in my opinion, no matter how much better a vocalist you find, it will have the wrong vibe because the current vocalist Moog has is the one we know and love and changing that after all this time is not something that I'll be comfortable with.

[@francoforcucci4198]

Loved that you brought the old tracks back… such a nostalgic kick

[@pandora1875]

This feels full circle to me because the first episodes of MCM I began watching was of the 180SX Drift missile build Moog spray painted green.

[@andersjjensen]

Yeah, Taytay was awesome. But let's face it: the base car was in a terrible condition and only someone with serious body work expertise could have restored it.

Needed this. Just forked out a bunch of money on starting my biker journey so some enthusiastic motoring is spot on!

[@GetOffMyLog]

Nice!! What'd you get?

[@craigdavies8099]

Welcome to bikes! Please do as much rider training as possible, no joke there is alot to learn. I always encourage people to learn on a dirt bike. There are no cars to mow you down, the slower speeds lessen the damage to rider and bike in a tip over, also getting used to riding with little traction and the bike moving around is confidence inspiring. It also teaches you about "target fixation" ie; if you look at an obstacle you will hit it, look at a way around it and won't hit it. Practicing emergency stops and crash avoidance will save you as will good quality riding gear. My mates father in law crashed the other day, no gloves.... several surguries later and still a mess. Totally avoidable. I'm real sorry if I sound like a downer, bikes have been a life long passion and I have lost friends and family to bike crashes and all but 1 was avoidable. Upskilling will make riding more fun and less scary, I really hope you enjoy your new bike, riding is awesome!!

[@Tank420uk]

@@GetOffMyLog Mostly Kit, jacket, jeans, helmet, boots, gloves and booked in for UK CBT and Theory test. The big spend is still to come. I'm probably gonna pickup a 125 and pot about on that for a year or so, before I make the final big spend.

[@Tank420uk]

@@craigdavies8099 Good advice, which is why that's the plan! I've got 20 years driving experience (with advanced training) and could jump on two wheels my current license but have chosen to take the route of training. The place where I'll be learning has off road practise. At my age, I have friends with similar stories. I'm confident I'll be Ok, but I do have a heathy fear of bikes too

[@tegrty]

I cried when you guys used the small sock. Always go with the long OEM style sock, seen this be a problem on a lot of cars ! Great video as always guys.

[@SwordCymbal79]

Hey Marty/Moog, as a survivor of ptsd/anxiety/depression/self harm, I love your heart for mental health awareness. The last few days for me have been tough emotionally and I’ve 97% completely isolated myself since Thursday just to survive until this wave of unbalance moves past me. My ESA dog was happy to see the first smile in a while come back to my face during this video you just posted, and we’d both like to say thank you all the way from north Texas, USA for being good humans in what can be a unkind world. Keep doing what y’all do, it helps in ways you don’t even know. You have our gratitude. Sincerely, Stephen and Tyson.

Yep this is the turbo I thought they were going to go with

[@fordyford]

A mate had an S15 turbo on his SR20 powered S13 in the early 2000's, made 202rwkw and was the first person I knew with "over 200 rwkw" hahaha. It was decent and usable on a daily basis..... minus the massively stiff coilovers.

[@cloane85]

The level of Nostalgia in this video is just awesome. At no point do I see MCM stopping, and I hope when I'm watching in 20 years they revisit this, and modify it to 2042 standards.

[@rjh5288]

I never used to like Japanese cars like these until I started watching you guy!. Now I'm a big fan of all the nuggets and cars that you do. ( not a fan of the euro cars having worked on them myself but still like watching the videos and appreciate the work that you guys put into them!.)

Lol if you can think of a logo, someone’s probably pressed it, VW included

Pink Mitsubishi’s yeah they were definitely a big thing. As was said if there’s a logo that can easily be pressed then it’s definitely been done. I remember John Saffron pressing the right wing radio station 3AW into some pills for his show and sending them to the station.

[@SwedenVIrre]

These guys were the reason I decided to tear down my engine in my car to the bare bottom end and fix the warped head and blown headgasket. A daunting job for someone who barely worked on cars before but watched a bunch videos and how to's. I used drive the car into a workshop and let them fix it. The sense of pride and accomplishment when it fired right up, not blowing smoke and running on all cylinders again was a blast! it's a feeling I haven't had in years :D And if I can do it i believe most people can as well, at least if its as simple as my volvo 740(which is a simple car to work on with tons of room)

[@nathanferguson9990]

The artwork on that poster is incredible! time to purchase 😎

[@fluffy2004wrb]

I appreciate the hard work of production professionals in general, and camera operators specifically, but I have to offer a bit of well intentioned, constructive criticism. During the unboxing sort of activities on the ground, I kept leaning forward to peer over the lower bezel of my screen. Alas, it was to no avail. I would agree that Martin and Moog are quite rakishly good looking-- and I love it-- but I would suggest that during an unboxing or turbo comparison on the floor, don't be afraid to frame out their faces in order to better show the parts in question. As much as I might try, I just can't seem to get over the fact that much of my attention is directed at the bottom 10% of my screen. It's quite unpleasant. I hope you know that I only bothered to say anything because I care. Your content is pure James Bond Effect.

Just gotten my 91 FC Rx7 running from a dead ECU to a Haltech Elite. Done some other refreshing like new pump, lines, rail and injectors and new harness. Just recieved my Rx7 poster (that customs felt the need to tear in inspection) from you that will hang in the garage. MCM has been a source of inspiration. Had no clue how my Rx7 worked, but now I can tear it down and put together no problem :)

Wow I’m super glad to see another episode just like back in the day where there’s just so many parts and lots of excitement! It’s perfect timing because I’m installing a turbo on my custom widebody mr2 spyder by myself and I’ll be tuning it by myself and I’ll be able to say I did everything all of the modifications by myself. First thing out of the box gave away that you’ll be adding a new turbo so I can’t wait for an in-depth install of everything you guys are doing!!

I know the "intro" age is over and most people are used to binge watching so they skip intros for tv. But I don't like the shorter intro, I love the way you guys kept intros alive. It makes a huge difference and all though people will skip, I love the full length intros.

[@itsfqndave]

Was kinda hoping to see a full engine & engine bay refresh considering how old the SR platform is, the multiple fail points for boost leaks and a gasket refresh will ensure all your seals are fresh considering it is/was a thrasher in its former life. Hopefully there's a level 2 overhaul for the 180. It deserves it, and being the only 180 on the interwebs, it deserves to go back to being a beautiful OEM+ example of a JDM legend. There's none better to do that than you 2, because you guys are the Gods of beautifying nuggets back to former glory. Plus it means we get more 180 content.
