Marc is super resourceful. Bet there is alot of untapped knowledge he has yet to uncover to us

[@michaelblacktree]

Marc is a true gearhead. Much respect.

[@torstenpearson1996]

Marc is a G. I wish I had half as much knowledge as he’s got in his little finger

[@HotBoiRicer]

Wait until you talk with him about 2AR vs K series. He is extraordinarily intelligent

[@aGodTierIdiot69696]

@@HotBoiRiceroh he won’t shine in that department, you will feel gods hand touch your head when he graces his knowledge of those two engines on you.

[@mathiastheapprentice]

Marc seems like such a bro. He seems like the type of guy who’s willing to help anyone with anything. Truly someone you can look up to.

[@UnknownUser_0000]

Help*

[@mathiastheapprentice]

@@UnknownUser_0000 ah shoot yea idk how I literally forgot to write an entire word.

[@SkyyMi]

100% for him to save Ben time by taking the already modified harness out of his car was something else entirely.

[@mathiastheapprentice]

@@SkyyMi i was just thinking “wait don’t you need that?” When he said he was gonna take the harness out of his own car.

[@Weimerica8841]

This is 100% accurate in my experiences dealing with him, Marc is a great guy

[@michaelblacktree]

I think Ben is the only person who didn't know this would become a full-on build. 😛

[@GearsandGasoline]

Jokes on me for thinking I had self control

[@Logan_gump]

@@GearsandGasolinewill you guys be at mid ohio in august?

[@limericklad2000]

@@GearsandGasoline was the Evo disintegrating the main reason for this build though, or would you have done it anyway?

[@hamsterbrigade]

I don't think there is such a thing as a cheap, safe, track build. I think where you save money is choosing a car with low running costs.

[@shepardgEOD]

2 things: Get mark and Frankenstein official! He is SUCH a good presenter and speaker and i am genuinely thrilled about every collab you all do. Second, LMAO at the 3d dots still inside the mr2 from the rollcage. Please never remove them.

[@GearsandGasoline]

I'll probably never remove them cuz it's such a pain

[@AndorRadnai]

@@GearsandGasoline Plus, they look cool..! Kind of… Could become the theme for the livery!

[@ricecakeFTW]

That 13 minutes went by like it was 5 minutes. I love Marc. Down to earth. Keeps it simple and thinking's of the average guy that just loves to go racing. I really hope his business takes off to the point where he needs to expand. Guy is super talented.

[@user-mg3dn4oe4z]

Marc is probably the smartest guy I’ve come across on KZbin. The wealth of knowledge he is and the way he communicates it is incredible.

[@izzieb]

Braking news, Ben has new brakes! There's a lot to disc-uss here, they're of a very high caliper! Okay, I'll stop now.

[@HumbleHonkingEnthusiast]

😂😂😂😂

[@uwibern]

Pad-tastic!

[@alisterhemmings8121]

ROFL. Please stop man

[@jake10386]

shut the hub up before you get a steering knuckle to da rotor face💀💀

[@ltjorge16]

Crazy last week Ben had new brakes.

[@evilf23]

I really enjoy seeing the Bens getting more hands on recently. Really cool seeing all these mad scientists on the channel who specialize in one or two things and do it better than anybody else in the world.

[@RobbDizzle037]

That brake booster modification is freaking genius in execution

[@Road2RacingPA]

Marc is so knowledgeable about the MR2 Spyder, I love hearing him explain what he has found through his racing endeavors

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Marc might be my favorite guy you have on the channel he’s just such a joy to watch and always has the right energy

[@candycornpeeps]

I love the methodology of Frankenstein motor works. Lego together off the shelf parts. Great engineering. Marc please do all the content love your stuff.

[@onboardaddicts]

I love to hear Marc explaining what he does and why he does it, always a pleasure to see him in one of your videos !

[@Conn0rKent]

Marc kicks ass. Dude knows his stuff and its so fun to watch.

[@alexgoalby9485]

Marc reminds me of Ronnie, Paul and Andy. True genius’ in their field with nothing being too much much to ask.

[@dameonsproject]

Gears and gasoline yet AGAIN saving my morning Saturday shift at work

[@ChavaYang]

We need 8 hours worth, though. 😢

[@firedell1031]

idk if it would be against the rules, but something to add a lot of the weight you need would be to make an entire undertray for the car. It would help aerodynamics a ton as well.

[@DanielSanGiuliano-hk3hl]

Man this series and collab between frank and gears is actual gold I live for these videos

[@pv4083]

Forget the car…I’m impressed with this dude putting together Bens car like a Lego car. Impressive the knowledge and will this guy (Marc) has. I see him getting lots of business in the future…Plus his garage is like a Mythical place! I love it…reminds of that chamber where Goku would go to train!!

[@braydonfisher6]

I've never liked the look of these cars. When Ben got it, I was a little sad. Seeing how far it has come has truly made me appreciate the pure function of the car more than the looks. As soon as the MR2 finds its uniform color (I speculate) when he's finished with all of the modifications in finality (does this ever happen with a track car?), I think it will look wonderful.

[@zevirathell203]

Agreed

[@supers0nic77]

Maybe I've always likes these because of the gt300 car which i think looks cool idk

[@brian_jake]

I hope it gets a paint job not a wrap

[@MishraArtificer]

I think the older '80s and early '90s MR2s look better than the final ones...

[@georgallasj]

Marc is insanely impressive. He’s amazingly knowledgeable but also super resourceful. Like there’s Porsche, dodge, etc parts on this Toyota. I’d love to know his background and how he’s so good at what he does.

[@A4orce84]

Awesome job Marc, love your knowledge and explanations on all things MR2!

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Why is this my favorite build right now?

[@Mooselover1011]

That bit about the custom axles was extremely informative!

[@Stepica]

I wanna have beers with him and let him talk a hole into my skull about MR2s

[@1203fild]

Jak vidím že je pivo v množným čísle mi je jasný s kým máme do činění😂🇨🇿

[@omega1575]

I love the smiley face on the gas cap, when you get a permanent livery, that should be included

[@rogerlee2771]

That bad wheelbearing probably played a role in unstableness lol

[@ryanrydes6372]

I wouldn't be surprise if another Marc will join the G&G team! He completely fits all the things that we love on this channel, being meticulous, well-knowledgeable on his craft, and lastly you can feel his genuine efforts in fixing a car. Kudos Marc!

[@yanni1398]

Happy to finally see one of the guys using anti-seize! I say the Evo still needs an IAG air oil separator though!

[@seanleo6531]

Had no idea that Russel Crowe was a MR2 specialist.

[@SkyyMi]

Marc is something else entirely truly amaing. Literally donated a custom harness to help Ben and shares so much. I could listen to him for hours

[@porlando12]

So stoked to see Marc back on this channel!

[@ltjorge16]

We need a Ben vs Ben in whatever competition they want to do. Hope that doesn’t tear up the relationship though lol

[@gabzor4716]

Marc is just so good, I wish the K series MRS guys had his products..

[@skyec8324]

Holy cow. This guy is an infinite source of knowledge. You can tell he’s been through this chassis twenty different ways to find the optimal solutions.

[@johnramsayskier]

Super fun to watch! Would for sure watch more of two of my favorites doing abandoned car rescues!

[@Monderakos]

This is by far the best mechanic I've seen in youtube by a long time 🤞🤞🙏🙏

[@JustinCFC]

Love seeing you guys moving up in your driving, your videos, just everything. Keep it up, and I'll see you guys at LIme Rock.

[@NotTxiST]

Love these videos with marc. Dude knows soooo much about the spyders. It's great! Keep em coming.

[@denlimwolf460]

Marc is an absoulute legend. I love how this channel keeps bringing single platform genuises to light and getting their business out there.

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

Love the Mr2 BBL

[@YourGoddamRight]

I want longer videos this content is too good for just 13 minutes.

[@speedacademydave]

Why no push-ups when dropping to the floor at Advance for the anti-seize? Come on bro, we need you to bro it up!

[@lolauup]

Very inspiring work for all of us watching.. MR2's are very popular lately..

[@vincentlevesque30]

Thank you for all the awesome free content :)

[@De1h_]

Awesome as usual yall knocked this vid out looking and feeling great❤❤

[@ralphymathew2744]

Marc you’re amazing! 👏🏼

[@koltrountree5219]

Another epic video! The mr2 sure is coming along nicely,I can't wait to see it tearing up the tarmac!

[@vincentpion8584]

What a nice guy to have around ! I can't imagine the time spent on searching for compatible parts for all the mods. this is probably invaluable knowledge.

[@luisking4812]

Amazing Mr-s track dev insights! Thank you for sharing

[@tmotom]

amazing brake related content on this channel

[@HexwareGaming]

Marc is a great guy! I had a problem with my turboed scion xb running a Haltech where the plug on the stock ecu end of my boomslang harness broke and Frankenstein was the only place I could find just the connector body and pins to replace it.

[@spunii8248]

Marc is the modern old school hotrodder!

[@haroldharina73]

Been waiting for dears and gasoline video upload 🔥

[@boiled4safety]

Damn I hope Marc is paid the big bucks from advance cause he is putting in work!! 💪

[@Colyers]

Marc is a mad lad. So innovative with his ideas.

[@djsonicc]

Just like any "small project" this escalated beautifully to something more

[@thejohnnybob]

This man is so innovative it's not even funny.

[@38tech]

The time, energy and overall expertise is insane.

[@WreckChris]

Those CV axles were a work of art. Great McGuyvering!

[@brownyboy252]

Marc is an absolute genius. And a lovely guy too

[@GTFour]

Damn that chap knows his onions! Has ingenuity by the truck load.

[@LENINsWORLD]

Marc you are the man! I have a 1st gen turbo Scion xB (aka DEATHbX), and I've been wanting to upgrade brakes but don't wanna lose my 15in wheels (think mr2 spyder and xB share same 54.1 bore) since BBKs for these ask to jump to 16s so they fit. You'll prob hear from me so I can pick your brain on the matter. Keep up the great work fellas! 💀📦🔰✌️

[@bobbyrios2k223]

Dang, Marc is a genius with these cars!

[@zzzz4439]

I have a lot of respect for you guys!

interesting what you did to the axles. i wonder if this can be transferred to the E56 ST202 Celica transaxle box.

Marc is the guy you want working in your car

[@dubbleA100]

This guy is literally a genius!

[@angelg.m-m285]

I wanna meet marc one day

[@Jumpjet701]

Great body... Why didn't you replace the headlights while you were in there? Those dead pan rounds are the heart of the car.

Where to purchase the hard top? Please advise, thanks

Makes me want a mr2 spyder even more

[@rcravincase]

I have similar wilwood brakes on my car. I learned the o-rings dont like subfreezing temps, they shrink and leak. So keep o rings handy every spring

[@GR7Media]

hey any chance to know wht wilwood model these are? I would like to use it on my car 😂

i really like marc's methodology
