First Drive - IT RIPS!! (Poor Little MR2...)

First drive in 5 years! It's clear now that the JDM MR2 stands no chance against the mighty Moog Buggy. In this episode we take it for the first drive after over 5 years in storage (and it absolutely rips!) But before we hit the battle pad, it needs brakes, a tune and some final mods in preparation for the challenges.
Meanwhile Marty is working on his MR2 but probably has worked out by now that his rust infested Toyota stands now chance against the mighty Carby fuelled VW Beetle from the 1970s.

I've built many beetle engines, this looks like a 2.1L which at most makes 170hp vs a JDM turbo MR2. Looks like Marty's getting a moon buggy

[@Oblithian]

170 is a fair bit for 2.1L with dual carbs but, it's still not going to be that competitive with a fuel injected and turbocharged engine of a similar size. Especially in terms of torque. Stock they said it the Toyota had over 200hp so... with the update and new turbo what? +30-40hp at the wheels??

[@Oblithian]

@ I think moog said it was actually fairly heavy.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

If the Moog Buggy was lightened, sure,... But all that checker-plate, even if it's Aluminium, it might even mass more then stock. MaRty2 has got this.

[@robsouthoz]

It's going to be almost entirely down to what the challenges are. In sand, gravel or khanacross? This has the advantage, motorkhana would be a 50/50. Around a race track? No chance.

The reason we use brake parts cleaner on brakes and NOT throttle body and carb cleaner, is because throttle body and carb cleaner has lubricants in it, which do not help with your braking. I am have been an ASE Certified Mechanic for 26 years and that is one of the items that was told to us very specifically in the brakes class as a do not use anything but brake parts cleaner. It is acetone and propellant and nothing more. I enjoy all of your shows, please keep up the good work.
