I would totally go on a date you talked off, even as a straight man I sure can be swept off my feet when you say go karts

I'm in the UK 😢 you guys should come to UK and do something with drivetribe or carwow!

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

How do we contact you? I have a car you would like that you've never had on your channel, and I don't have much time left on this Earth. I'd rather it be sold cheap (not given away, but much cheaper than you'll find one) to you guys than it be sold to some random I don't know who won't respect it. It's Australian, has two doors, an LS, manual, 80k on the clock, rare paint colour, plus a few other things. I know the people I will leave it to will just trade it in, I may as well sell it to you guys and just give them the cash, I know you'll do the right thing with it. I don't have Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media except Linkedin. It's located in Tassie though. And no, I'm not selling it to random KZbin commenters, so don't ask.

[@edb8120]

I was in Japan on a business trip about a dozen years ago. My Japanese colleague and I hired a driver to take to some customers. They were supposed to use a Crown like yours and I was excited to ride in it. Then they show up in a Century. The Crowns big brother with a V12. These are typically only used by politicians and mobsters. It was winter and I was wearing a black wool topcoat and a black Fedora. The looks that we got were priceless.

[@DRUMM3RX7]

The best part about this channel is Marty and Moog haven’t changed a bit since they started😂 legends!!

[@monkyk1ng]

Yeah and the 50 dollar barrier to entry makes it easy to sit back and root for someone else winning😂

[@badenwatson3653]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying the honesty about how things are going. How things break. I know for me when I watch your shows and then do my own work, and when shit breaks, it feels shit. But it makes me feel a bit better when the people I look up to break stuff to.

[@prancingpiranha9092]

As someone who has fit a lot of those integrated style boxes over the years. Finding somewhere for the module and harnesses is always the hardest bloody part. They were a common install for Toyota's that didnt have factory navigation for a number of years, and for caravan camera to factory screen integration too.

[@davehoffman515]

Are there any you recommend? I was going to replace my rx-8 stereo with a double din but if I can keep it looking stock I'd prefer that

[@prancingpiranha9092]

The company Ive had the most experience with, Is "advanced ice". But Im unsure if they make anything for rx-8's. There website doesnt say so, but it also doesnt advertise other products that Ive personally installed. So might get lucky. Sorry couldnt be more helpful. I have no personal affiliation with them

[@cabe_bedlam]

I like the subtle shoutout to small channels like Unicorn Circuit with the Knob Touch fank. Now we might get 50 subs by the end of the month!

[@cornishcat11]

50? steady on that could overwhelm the internet..

The world needs MCM FD content.. please hurry and release it. the wheels for the FD look mint. No wheels with a dish in the workshop my ass 😂

[@mightycarmods]

Actually purchased for majesta, test fit them, and were just… ok. Then put them on the rx7 and nearly fell over. You’ll see it soon as we’ve got that project on the boil.

[@Agret]

Do you reckon they'll engine swap the FD?

[@glennkleeman2502]

Oh god no..

[@deevizm8035]

@@Agretnope. They aren’t purists but they’re not the type of people wreck a nice clean rx7 with an engine swap. If it was a rusted out piece of scrap metal old generation rx7 that’s blown up and not just broken down, they probably would swap it. But not this car, it’s too nice.

[@Darkacces]

It's really nice to see you bringing content this way. Working with cars, having fun, awesome music... never tired of MCM, and always waiting for a new episode. Keep it up!!!

[@michaelraymont6109]

I love that moog is always hitting marty with banter and he just agrees and is super focussed on what hes doing instead.

[@Barra.The.World.]

Wow.... This video is gonna go viral, A simple thing of just adding in a carplay box into a factory infotainment system. THANK YOU MCM !

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

As an owner of a Silvia S15 and GRS204 Crown Athlete, this makes me very happy to see! Also, love that insight you gave with the piggyback system for the touchscreen. I have a very interesting audio setup in my Crown that you two fellow audio nerds would love and I got in touch with the company in Japan that installed it and they told me that, to keep the function display unit working, they had to install my double-DIN head unit and re-wire the factory radio into the rear of the car! Without the factory radio, you apparently lose all functionality of the screen that does air con, DTV, GPS, G-book, etc.

[@Agret]

Can you provide more details about the head unit you have? Reckon you could throw up a little overview video of it on your KZbin? Sounds interesting.

[@YouMirin]

I might need something similar for my 99 Aristo, any more details on this would be appreciated

[@VinzSanityx]

Any forum or blogs to provide more detail thank you!

[@VikingPoet113]

Back in college a mate had a VIP lexus GS and he notched out the tubs and suspension mounts to get his car lower, it was also a V8 model with straight pipes,deep dish rims, the lot

[@younamsayin]

So glad MCM got their hands on a Crown Majesta. I previously owned JZX100 and moved onto a Crown Majesta and my God it is such a gangsta car...

Loving the VIP ness. I never knew I wanted a Toyota Crown until a few weeks ago. Now I need a peasant to chauffeur me around.

[@flutterguy965]

Wishing the participants of the VIP thing all the luck, can't join the 50 bucks thingy this time. On another note, I used tablecloth and magnets to make DIY courtains for an old accord wagon. They just stick in the rear windows with the magnets, you can move them around and all. Thing actually gives a VIP feel with them.

[@colestowing8695]

VIP-ness and Cheryl's big mystery box...there's a joke there somewhere

[@TuXicity]

Was it a blown fuse regarding the end of the video? I would hazard a guess that many additional harnesses on the factory radios fuse would surely be testing the limits of it! The first hook up loom with the black wires going into conduit is an old Nav/TV swticher. There will be a button that conduit leads to which would allow you to sit in traffic or just driving in general watching TV channels. I would suggest removing it as I don't imagine you'll be using it often! We see them a lot over here in NZ with imports of these from Japan. Super common and in general if we're working with a clients car, we'll remove them as it leaves less stuff to squeeze behind the head unit!

[@matthewshultz8762]

The carplay hack on stock headunit blew my mind. I need to find one of those for my 17 forester, such a good sleeper look

[@nuggetsandclide]

The ultimate bargain luxury car is the VW Phaeton. It was built to compete with luxury Mercs, and BMWs. It has a W12 engine and goes for under 10 grand. Would love to see one on mcm.

[@Agret]

Sounds cool, I don't think they sell them in Australia though. The model doesn't even come up on carsales.

[@kammen1flatza]

Ever wondered why they are so cheap? It's because they WILL cost 3 or 4 times as much to fix.

[@Atleysprogram]

[@ronw5476]

I'm in the USA. What if Americans pay for the plane ticket out to Sydney and pay shipping to get the merch back home? Can we be included in this epic VIP experience? You guys rock. Love from Connecticut. 🤘🏻

Yup, I'd prefer wheels with a machined lip and a flush fitment. You are right about ride height, I to don't think it's necessary to over lower any car as it will high-center and scrape the underside of the car. Cheers!

i must admit...as a Japanese here in Japan, this was rather amusing lol as always, great content! Thanks always!

[@Agret]

What are peoples opinions of the Crown Majesta like in Japan? I understand you guys have some emissions stuff that makes owning a V8 very expensive over there? Is it considered an uncool old mans car like the Toyota Corolla over here? I remember reading that someone here got a Toyota Crown Athlete and their Japanese girlfriends mum laughed at it saying it's such a common car over there?

Glad to finally see something "VIP" actually happening now lol

Went and entered immediately. I never win anything but visiting Australia is one of my dreams.

[@OtisENGINEuity]

Reminds me of the time I sat in an Audi A6 at the Chrysler dealership and started putting the seat back and it just kept going until it hit the rear seat. I'm 6'10/2.08m and there was over a foot between my foot with my legs stretched fully out and the pedals. I swear the reason the seat can go back so far is so some executive can get head from a street hooker without getting out of his seat... there was definitely enough room for someone to be in the floor in front of me, let alone someone shorter than me.
