Marty from Mighty Car Mods & the Supergramps Successor | DRIVEN | Ep 40

If there’s one vehicle that makes Marty of Mighty Car Mods fame weak at the knees - it’s a Subaru. Make that a Subaru wagon. He takes us on the journey of MCM’s latest build project; a fully built H6 engine, driveline and interior swap from an WRX STI into a 2017 Subaru Levorg, and the Boys believe this is the first time it’s been done - anywhere - with the Levorg now pushing 600hp. Why should wagons miss out on all the fun?

Just one wastegate spring away from 600HP+! Thanks for featuring the car, great video!

[@ShannonsInsurance]

👍

[@D4VE26]

Martys balls have dropped to stage 2

[@r.j.bedore9884]

One of Subaru's biggest mistakes was discontinuing the WRX wagon. Thank you Marty for demonstrating why they should bring it back.

[@TheShift1313]

This was an epic build!

[@nicholaszubic6757]

​@@r.j.bedore9884its not discontinued...

[@DJScopeSOFM]

Marty sounds so different on that mic.

[@timpea777]

Yeah, I was really thrown by that, too. To my ear he sounds compressed and has had the lows beefed up.

[@samartz]

Thought it was me as well

[@NuarStanger]

I came here to make the same comment. Doesn't sound like him at all.

[@Il-bebbux]

Voice sounds deeper but can still tell it's him

[@steveskrobot9496]

He's demonstrating the perks of being a sound engineer!

[@colinioa1708]

Marty sounds like he’s had a rough night on the beers

[@gorerath]

Nose beers more like it haha

[@georgecupac1202]

Are you listening Subaru?

[@coreyw427]

Unfortunately most people just want SUVs now

[@georgecupac1202]

Not me, I want a V8 manual.

[@c3vzn]

People would buy a high performance Forester.

[@henryjohn2218]

Subaru Japan must acknowledge Marty's Subaru wagon love and passion.

[@itzpat215]

They have to because they fucked up not adding the ej motor to the levorg with sti 6 speed

[@ricardo1e93]

Lovely video but... Why Marty all of a sudden sounds deeper than Sinatra? 😳

[@gregstaoo]

They have lowered it but unsure why. Maybe to make him sound more important or manlier?? 😵‍💫 so weird

[@gregstaoo]

Or just another thought, maybe they lowered the sound on the whole video to try and make the car sound better but ended up making Marty sound weird.

[@chaunster]

They just dont have moogs skill

[@TheOnlyToblin]

Classic studio microphone. Picks up heaps of lower frequencies and if you don't filter those in post, you end up like this.

[@snygate]

Honestly wish this was a 50 min video, not 5 mins. Love MCM and this car in particular... Cracking editing and I fully support the desire of a car that does everything!

[@UKGBManny]

10 year owner of a Subaru Forester STI Lirchfield 330 the perfect car has never let me down.

[@euphoric5172]

Honestly my favourite subaru in the world right now, marty and the MCM fellas have built something truly special, its practical and fast, yet somehow doesnt sacrifice anything, its just the definition of the perfect tuner car.

[@Speedemon_88]

Levorg will be a future classic. Ultimate all rounder. What a monster! ❤❤❤

[@czierwo]

Beautiful!

[@bobbiewahab1063]

Marty's all grown up!😊

[@tez1seven]

On ya Marty! 🔥

[@importtunerknowitall]

Thought my phone or headphones were messed up, ended up closing the video out and reloading. Marty sounds sooooo different

[@joelstevensz06]

Love the channel Marty love this build so much I hope that Subaru will take notice and build an STI wagons!!!!! I have a 6" lifted, built EJ255 turbo VF52 VERSION of super gramps and I want a 500hp 6 speed version of it or another 4Dr Baja mini truck ❤️

[@ianmansfield8885]

Thx for doing this I m in the process of starting a wrx wagon build and this has further motivated me..I love that Alan and your co builders all seem to have had some time modifying subarus

[@54mgtf22]

Love a hot wagon. I have an Alfa Romeo wagon. Love your work, Marty 👍

[@tyronemartystock379]

That Subaru Levorg Wagon looks amazing it goes really fast with 600 Horsepower out race track road sounds wonderful Well done Marty 👏👏👏👏

[@JayBe79]

That's the first time EVER I've heard Marty refer to Moog as Moog..... twice!

[@FiftySixishTV]

He never does hey... Always my friend, my good friend here, my gentleman friend etc

[@Magz215]

I must be the only one listening to what Marty is saying instead of how he sounds. Can't wait to see what the new wastegate spring will do, I'm hoping that big turbo will sing the song its supposed to.

[@brewey0454]

Well done love the story on Marty he self and his Subaru Lavaur

[@ggchills5346]

LEGEND !!

[@tyronestock379]

That Subaru Levorg Wagon looks amazing it goes really fast our Race track and road Make over 600 HP Well done Marty 👏👏👏👏

[@JeroenvdWal]

the journey is usually the part that you remember anywaaaaays😛

[@ericlambes1293]

Underrated comment 😂

[@oscarzt1652]

almost makes me wish i had the budget and mates to conduct a similar project

[@jrbuch]

I like it. It'd make an awesome daily. Been watching MCM for years; learnt much on their show and applied it to my own car (JZZ30 vvti, big turbos, E85, Haltech ecu, 6 speed manual)

[@eugsoh81]

My dream ride…

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Wow! That's crazy! 600hp! That's a lot of power from such a small 3.0 litre Boxer engine. Awesome looking car! I've always loved Subarus.

[@procrastinator1842]

Don't forget thats wheel horsepower. The number at the crank is closer to 800hp

[@samartz]

6cyl turbo is the best overall street engine combo!

[@dkent3853]

Advertising I can get around, love this!

[@a6thomas574]

1:42 sounds so good

[@Zobby447]

Great work Martin

[@desmondwright5463]

Wicked, did you swallow a subwoofer Marty. this is a great build enjoy

[@jamesdisnow]

Did you guys use Adobe Podcast AI on the audio? It sounds weird...

[@2d540]

Yeh Marty sounds weird

[@askethom04]

Probably had the flu 😆

[@jessekennedy7804]

Sounds like he had a cold hahah

[@brewey0454]

You are right when I listen to the story Marty‘s voice doesn’t sound like he usual voice sounds like they Al it or marty could of not be well when doing the interview hope marty alright he a top bloke

[@jamesdisnow]

It sounds like some heavy AI reverb reduction. Big garages aren't great for sound! 🤣

[@thusmarshal8815]

One of the best looking wagons close second to the Audi rs6 in my opinion Loved the build and the ez30d mach 2 is my all time favorite engine love the noises . My 3.0r legacy 2009 spec b will have to do it ain't a levorg but its the closest thing.

[@oscarzt1652]

crystal castles - kerosene

[@gazza116]

great story guys.

[@Joshi069]

Marty taking that T. Human equivalent turbooooo.

[@dmedeiros1974]

perfect car build

[@hassenfepher]

Marty. Your voice is so much deeper in this video. I barely recognized it.

[@mrnobodytheuser2950]

That is one cool car

[@gonzostwin1]

Love the video m8's

[@LOLHICRONO]

what the "geniuses" at subaru should have done

[@randoms959]

Marty is great at mining, the talent he never knew he had 😂

[@aggitravel]

What a monster 😅

[@littlediablo]

Very cool. Just eliminating the cvt is a win, everything else is just cream on top!

[@neovenom7187]

Judging by the sound of his voice, Marty had one too many kebabs or lemon squashes.😊 But yeah, the Levorg is actually a pretty cool car. if only they offered it with a manual, even if it's just 1.6turbo stock.

[@retrocarsyndicate8867]

Really enjoyed that video. Martin is the reason I have got a Subaru Legacy wagon tremendous

[@TommyPickIes]

Badass

[@Woopass90]

Thats the first time I've heard Marty use Moogs name lol.

[@oliverhodge2813]

I wish they had these in the states

[@lasersharks]

My god the vocals in this video is sooooo edited to the point it barely sounds like Marty 😂 why’d they pitch shift his voice down like that

[@brendanh8705]

Marty balls have finally dropped. So deep 😂

[@jonty3000]

So if we do the same modifications, Shannons will insure the vehicle?

[@markez30]

Would be good to know

[@Loki1815]

If you like Subaru's, and what's not to like about the Grovel. This is SPECIAL, so 'kin Special! What's not to like about either Gramps or Grovel? If you are not fond of Subaru's, what's wrong with you, are you broken?

[@fuzzymonkey87]

Lol they pitch shifted his voice so much 😂. Sounds fine either way tho 👍

[@brianodonnell1664]

Yeeeewwww🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@georgiiliev89]

This video should be sent to Subaru HQ, to see what they should have done in the first place...

[@shawnjondon]

Yalll gotta do a collaboration with SMEEDIA

[@Followmeoutdoors]

I've loved following this story, I have a 2017 GT-S 2.0 Grovel, wanna swap? 😂

[@pops55650]

I loved watching this build. Now other cars grovel at this levorg

[@Subiee555]

После рксской озвучки так не привычно слышать оригинал

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

Did they pipe Martins voice through a 3.5 inch pipe?

[@mydogzty]

Hope MCM says something abut the audio marty sounds completely different

[@INTHEMIX74]

umm is there like over compression on that audio or taken him down a semi tone

[@jacobwallace4844]

He must have engineered the sound of his voice.... nice whip

[@trutheretic]

weaponn

[@CaveLife652]

The perfect car... If you're running late to drop your Uber clients off at the airport.

[@markjones2390]

they've either over-dubbed Marty's voice or put it though a AI or sound tuner to make him sound like a retired sports personality - 3.57 for real voice

[@gregstaoo]

Did they lower your voice?

[@ToWhom]

Did some voiceover Marty?

[@flexxdream]

do we have wrx wagons in the US?

[@danielchoi8887]

Didnt recognize Marty’s voice for a sec lol

[@radders50]

Marty got the miley Cyrus voice chip …. Anywayssss 🤖

[@skylinevspec000]

The sound is weird hey, he doesnt sound like he does in McM. but great video

[@DaNargh42]

Ok who did the sound mix on this. It's like Marty's in witness protection but you forgot to turn the lights off

[@admarshall4]

Anyone know the name of the song at the end?

[@HellbenntTube]

Why does Marty sound like he’s started smoking two packs a day

[@jasonswift7098]

Marty should do a Turbo Forester build but don't slam it to the ground like those other morons do with Sg/SH Foresters.

[@gibbosgarage2613]

Why is Marty’s voice so deep?

[@mungtrooper7]

music?

[@Watsonega91]

Japanese dubb of MCM when?>

[@thomaswolf8609]

Is it a voice over? Or does Marty just have a bad cold?

[@ravvypower2004]

You sound different Marty, deeper voice?

[@dewolfyannick]

If you love wagons so much why don’t you do a volvo wagon 😊😉

[@themikeoxlong999]

What did u do to Marty's voice

[@MADagain]

But is it engineered?

[@josephbarker4436]

Wow you sound different on this vid

[@muslemmuslem739]

Can it run withe gtr ???

[@mikehoncho666]

His voice almost sounds like its a.i. generated. But great video!

[@thewally1523]

Pretty sure Marty's voice is overdubbed by someone else - I'm sure all will be revealed in an upcoming MCM episode lol ..

[@Krooker85]

#Subaru, are you watching/listening?

[@CrimsonSlayer7]

i will throw my money at this if subaru took this route

[@jackryan765]

Smeedia is in the middle of a H6 swap into a newer sti sedan. Check it out

[@shanekay8278]

Did he do sound engineering on his voice, sounds like someone else lol

[@jakepittman3954]

Shall we call it Mighty Gramps ????

[@ericsonroy1038]

Why does marty sounded different it sounded like its coming from a well

[@mattcamp9479]

Is it just me or did his voice sound different??

[@jamiewallis8509]

Arghhhhh. Did the sound mixer slip when adjusting the bass? Stripped all the colour from his voice. He sounds like just some bloke.

[@elitecol69]

Bollywood Marty 😂😂

[@ADAM-z9c]

marty sounds very different on this video
