Hey guys. Checking in from WA, US. Just wanted to say the look on Moogs face when y’all were going through the tunnel at the end is just the best. Last year I was fortunate enough to buy my best attainable dream car, a 997.1 C2S in speed yellow over cocoa. I know y’all give some good jabs at Porche owners here and there haha, but the way it drives and sounds with the intake and mufflers is my version of your happiness in that moment. I share this just to say I understand that joy and for however many years I’ve been watching now, this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you. Even more so that when the vtec mini was done or the 280 from Japan. Congratulations to you and here’s to all the cool things we get to do and experience in this one weird ass ride we call life lol.

Having owned one of these exact cars for 2 years with the same option packs in 2007-2009, your making me nostalgic! There is nothing else out there for the price that comes close to this amazing car as the 35 gtr was 2 years away for Australia. Its not a SuperCar though. Now you should go take one to a track day IN THE DRY and find its limits. I did 70 laps on a track through a whole tank of fuel and its just epic. It is going to rearrange your brain and reprogram how you drive and how rewarding those cars are on the ragged edge. The chassis will feedback to you right up until the limit, DO NOT IGNORE that feedback! Batteries are a big deal and you need some CCA to get the thing started. Such a special vehicle and the want to own a S3 exige 430 cup is now high. As and when you lose the rear in the wet on r comps, Keep your booot into it, because as soon as you lift off, you are gonna end up into the kerb. Be Careful! 2zz is a gem of an engine, your power levels are already near the edge of the design, rods will bend on anything over 300hp. I am well jelly about the Dash!! Thanks for the reinspiration.

They are far too used to working on literal trash, they're gonna be buffing this with urine on a brillo pad before you know it.

Should we not have stated this series with Marty's car as Marty's car always takes twice as long as yours to sort out. 🤭🤭

[@williamjeong3554]

Got excited when Marty said "accord Euro R" cuz I have an Acura TSX in Canada which is just a LHD Honda accord Euro and I wish I could have a real euro R. love the vids guys!

[@bramjacob8623]

This car is just to amazing ... love it so much that i want a lotus myself. Hope this series never ends :D !

[@buddybleeyes]

Man, this is soo nuts. Even i haven't seen one of these in years here in the UK, then again I don't live near London 😂 Keep up the good work, I wanna see this car in many videos

[@deniushersmith2438]

i see these all the time in Herefordshire

[@doodslangpo]

Refreshed my browser and a new MCM video was posted 4 minutes ago. Pull me in!

[@blazingyodler]

This is my most favorite series on your channel yet👍

[@djled1013]

My favorite car that I owned way back in 1988 was a Toyota Corolla FX16. That car was very underestimated at the time. Now my favorite cars are my Lotus and my MX5. This lotus series was awesome.

[@milesforrest4532]

Amazing to see you guys working on a supercar!

[@Trowaman843]

He says "im used to buying Nissan's that smell like bong smoke" I have kept a less than 1000$ car in my driveway for 8 years now just to smoke in in the winter LOL.

[@ismailsheri9835]

I've come back 4 times to this video to listen to that whine...it's beautiful. I didnt realize I needed a supercharger until this videp

[@adios1069]

It does one thing amazingly well and that's put a smile on your face. To be honest that's all you really want in a car.

[@Kt45ghu]

This is my fav car ever on MCM. Though I may be bias. I have a Celica with the 2ZZ-GE engine. Sounds amazing now!

[@randysanchez1397]

It’s okay to be bias we own some of the best 4 cyl ever made

[@stevemurrell6167]

Lotus really are a great and enthusiastic car company....so nice to see. BTW, the S/C sounds insane!!

[@blondeostrich213]

Good lads cleaning the Air flow meter, the amount of mechanics that I’ve talked to that didn’t know that was a serviceable item and should be cleaned every service is astounding.

[@iannorton4463]

That's pretty cool moog,,,your reg plate reads exactly how ours did in the seventies mate. Hello from England 🇬🇧 😀

[@Roodosutaa]

In the state of NSW where MCM lives we can also get a Euro/British-sized number plate with black background and silver lettering to enhance that British classic car look (correct me if I'm wrong but I think for classic cars in the UK you don't need to have the standard white front and yellow back plate?). But on a Lotus you'd want the smallest possible plates and that's what Moog's car has.

[@implodingbaby]

@@Roodosutaa cars dated before 1979 I think are allowed to have those black and silver plates

[@iannorton4463]

@@implodingbaby no mate we can't use the black and silver plates unless the car is from the period of original use now. I think that it is pre 71. 👍🇬🇧

That sounds absolutely amazing!

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

That charge whine is sooo much better with that new open filter. What a car.

[@eltiburon1983]

"DIN" basically means "Deutsches Institut für Normung" - in english: "German institute for Standards" - because we are german - we have to have a Standard (DIN) for everything :D

[@foogoid8682]

Learned something new today, thanks! I always thought it was “Deutsche Industrienorm” (German Industrial Norm), which made saying “DIN-Norm” somewhat repetitive.

[@Matthijs3476]

It's not because you are german. There are many standards and DIN is just one of them.

[@foogoid8682]

@@Matthijs3476 In Nederland is het wel zo, een "NEN-Norm" is dus een "NEderlandse Norm-Norm" ;)

[@seanoreilly1832]

@@Matthijs3476 cheer up

[@warummussmeinnameangegeben6502]

Someone said once it stands for "Das Ist Norm" - "This is the Standard". And I think as a german its very appropriate

[@mentaldan666]

early squad where you at? this episode is gonna be maaaaad!

[@loucee569]

Love the way it sounds now! You are going to giggle like a little kid when you take it to the track.

[@hyphensclassics]

Love it, you guys may come round to the amazing sound of a supercharger!! Definitely my favourite although only in my R53!
