This video is for you die-hard MR2 enthusiasts out there! I drove my 1994 MR2 GT-S from Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, California in search of Bob Pham and his gorgeous collection of USDM Toyota MR2s. Turns out this man has fourteen of these mid-engined runabouts, most of which are in various stages of restoration, and a couple of them reserved for track use. Y'know, the reason we all love these cars in the first place.. because they are a blast to DRIVE! Hope you guys enjoy this one, we'll be releasing a full review/feature video on Bob's AW11 monster track car soon :D - Marcus

samboo18fuksdogs1 They’re out there. You just have to buy them broken and non runner shells pretty much and fix them up. I see a bunch of candidate mr2 on sale.

Refreshing to listen to this guy that does his own work and knows all the quirks of each of his cars instead of those guys that pay other people to do the work for them. He's so knowledgeable.

[@masonfollansbee5527]

He doesn't do ALL of the work on them., but he does do a lot of it.

[@BobPham]

Campy Camp thank you for the kind words. When I started I just use google and forums for information and do the work. Recently, I do have more help with some of the builds. We have a good team now going one here in SoCal, where we bring non runners mr2 back to life. I have credit to those who help on each of the builds. ☺️

[@threadoflife]

Such a great guy! Bob appreciate you man! Thanks for the hospitality we’ll be back out in a few weeks and have to link up!

[@postmoderncowboy93]

I love this guys mission objective, of reinvigorating the world with the old skoolies. Long live the 1999 MR2 tubro t-TOP.

MR2s all just went up a grand or more because of this video! Cool guy and great cars. I wish I had one for a weekend warrior.

[@Engineerboy100]

I've loved MR2's from the 80's till now but I think it's very cool that he's actually helping some people's dream come true who wanted a MR2 years ago before they could afford it.

One of my top 3 dream cars back in my HS days. 2 classmates drove them: 1 AW and 1 SW. Bought the entire Over Rev series because of the AW. Absolutely awesome vid! TY

[@drizzy1011]

Sick im not even into MR2s but after this vid. I might be I really respect his quality and cleanliness. Great vid

[@gabea.458]

If memory serves, the correct engine code for the S/C AW11 was 4AG(Z)E. 4AGE was the N/A version in the Corolla and MR2. Awesome cars and dude.

[@nickfury1279]

Yup, the Z denotes the presence of a supercharger

[@ptorocks208]

The AW11 got me to understand mid engine dynamics which then translated into a being an exotic car instructor at Las Vegas Motorspeedway for 3 years. The Ferrari 430 and Scuderia are like an MR2 on steroids.

[@BlueStarJT]

Wow , truly amazing , such a humble guy to , he just wants people to enjoy the mr2 . Thats nobel brother.

[@tatertot6424]

Damn. 😍 Giving me motivation to keep going with mine. It's having problems and I'm not mechanically inclined 😭 mine is a clean shell though, no rust or anything. Thanks Bob, you're an inspiration.

[@famus801]

I miss read it as Most Insane MR-2 car meet lol then found out 1 guy owns them all holy shit that’s a lot of cars

[@fortheloveofcake93]

And not a single 3rd gen ZZw30 lol

[@JohnWilkesBoof]

For obvious reasons

[@s.u.6198]

Kinda curious with some of these comments, seem there is a lot of envy, I myself am glad to see he is able to have such a nice collection and the ability to have such a vast collection, aside from knowing someone out there are preserving these awesome cars, I say keep up the good work and collect more if you can, i support your efforts! :)

[@OverkillEverything]

Jimmy Lam-My thanks. Hehe. Took me a while

[@KrismanX]

Bob is the MAN...

[@Fluoride556]

I love the attitude of not needing a lot of power.. 13.5 second quarter mile is plenty fast for a car.. its about the experience

[@loveitorscrapit6673]

Great collection of cars.

[@clubdredd1337]

I am so happy I found this video. I rebuilt an mr2 when I was 19. Got rid of it to move to Hawaii.. for a girl.. who was boinkin some1 else when I got there. For 12 years I've wondered, imagined and dreamed of getting another Mr2. Now mr Bob can fulfill my dreams.

[@PROJECTIRONWOLF1]

Throw in the mr-s into the mix

[@ThomasCorfield]

Yes.

[@lolicool6920]

I 'm a fan of mr2 models congratulations for your collection that's fantastic salutations fr belgium

[@FritosTheBean55]

I just recently fell in love with the mk1 mr2 and i want to get my hands on one asap cause i feel like these are the cars youtubers are gonna start building. Especially the mk2 but I prefer the mk1.

[@mikeeh20]

Bob is the man !!! 😎👌 legend !!

[@gulfstream1904]

Awesome collection, I have now at some point own every generation MR2, just yesterday picked up a mint-condition 2002 MR2 Spyder for my wife, the car was in too good a shape to pass up and at a very reasonable price, but again love the work you have done with your collection, OH! by the way, even my bank said this care appears rare in their loan appraisal, not only for the type of car, but also numbers produced, so like Bob just said, the cars are becoming more valuable and worth hanginng on to, my other MR2 is a 1990, which I intend on restoring, also great car!

[@nastystew6942]

I like that Evo across the street!!!

[@OddCoyote]

ALL the paint is damn near immaculate....niiiiiiice.

[@clippedegek]

Nice collection ☺☺☺ I am restoring one myself. Best cars ever ❤👍❤

[@azndrgnboi34]

Wow how do you insure all those cars? That's awesome! I really appreciate those cars.

[@ltwracing]

thanks for showing the bay on that gen 5 swap...

[@missionforward1774]

I don't have 14 MR2's... I only have one... But it's a pretty darn good one... '89 Super Red, T-Top, leather, pristine inside and out, less than 53K original miles. Drives like a new car. My second MR2... my first was a White' 86 I bought on Guam while in the Navy. Neither one is fast but they're both a blast to drive. My '89 is completely stock except for one thing which only an MR2 officionado would notice... My wheels are from the supercharged version. The car has appreciated in value by around $2000 above what I paid for it two years ago... And I overpaid for the car because I really wanted another MKI MR2. Great video... New subscriber.

[@JXC98]

Wow beautiful cars I love the sw20! I’m 20 now and I’m in Chicago and it’s so hard to find a good clean one at a good price out here and only becoming harder nowadays. Might buy a shell eventually and restore it I’ve got an extra 3sgte sitting in my fathers garage from his 2nd gen celica all trac and that could be rebuilt easily.

[@freshtapcoke]

I need, Don Bob, all of those MR2’s that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.

[@zandern9489]

Been following Bob on KZbin for sometime, he knows his sh$&. Love watching his builds and he is extremely thorough. Will continue to use them as a reference guide for my 2 Celica’s. So wait- no one asked where in the nuts he keeps all his cars😂😂

[@BobPham]

Zander N thanks for following me and kind words. We have a warehouse property that we used for storage. They mostly stay in there until I need to get them out and work on or when it’s ready for sale.

[@PlasticRevolver69]

What about bob! A little more than your average enthusiast Wow Awesome

[@s-dubsw2013]

And I thought I was crazy about Sw20's love the video

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Yeah Bob is on ANOTHER level haha.

[@tonyfreegard2232]

Yes, the SW20 seems to hold sway in the US, and here in Australia, but my totally stock ZW30 is still dear to me, a doting old thing like me doesn't anymore than 138 horses. Thanks for posting, and what an impressive array of MR2s.

[@sigmaprojects]

the ZW30 is crazy fun, just could use a different front end appearance. Have you seen the Celica front end swapped ZW30s?

[@josh.nalepa6596]

The tri color/blue metallic one is going to Ohio? Hopefully I'll see it on the road here, I'd love to see it in person, wounder if he'll come to some Ohio mr2 meets with that car with us Ohio guys. 👀

[@ITS4390]

My dad used to have an 88 MR2 SC Between all the head work, valves, exhaust, ext he bumped the factory 4AGE-Z (Z tag supercharged) from it's stock 145-150 ish RWHP to around 240 Car used to scare the piss out of me as a kid but damnit what I wouldn't give to have it back.

[@KristianRafaelReyes]

I got a 1991 mr2 5s-fe automatic in Ca. I was just wondering if i swap it to a 2gr with manual transmission with all stock ecu from a 2gr engine will it be still Ca legal?
