How to get your car roadworthy

[@pentiuman]

I love that phone call - very direct and to the point - The steering is fuked, the brakes are fuked - everything is fuked!

[@Anonymous-yy9ut]

Shouldn't it be fakked as they are ozzies

[@radius4914]

Get this piece of shit out of my shop! 😂

[@benmccarthy3177]

If you look closely the car blowing up was faked

[@mysteryman1628]

Ben McCarthy indeed... the graphics looked so so real!!! :O

[@arlindshimcani9074]

Ben McCarthy No shit

[@benmccarthy3177]

[@arlindshimcani9074]

Ben McCarthy ik lol

[@-HAKUMAI-]

who else heard that "do u like that martin" at the very end of the vid

[@NoSpace4Bass]

Omg wtf lol , I never stayed till the end

[@t94xr]

***** OMG First time I've heard it - Incredibly creepy!

[@Redbikemaster]

NoSpace4Bass ALWAYS stay til the end. Hasn't Marvel taught you anything?

[@Sugomis]

+KevinFromInFamous14k that's creepy

[@captainzoll3303]

[@joseignaciohileradorna5122]

2010 was a simpler time

[@awsomej177]

especially considering that mini trucks used to cost $500. now their price his gone up by 10x now

[@YxngBillyBob]

Capitán Rastrero 2017 was a simpler time

[@shep.Gdjblue012]

Like 100 just appeared, whoop whoop, yeah no, This comment from Jose hit different Specially in 2020

[@sachekrishnaraj9729]

Wait till the last few seconds he says "do you like that Martin" creeped me out

[@boburius]

yea man me too

[@mightycarmods]

@Ox1Dizer It was written by Marty and MOOG specifically for the Season2 intro of Mighty Car Mods.

[@Perplexer1]

Don't forget: you should never wear any gloves and you should always do car repairs while wearing flip-flops !

[@0ngy697]

no joke but never seen a mechanic with gloves over here they wear a lot shorts with flip-flops wile in the job

[@HashimBeny]

Thongs* we call slippers thongs in Australia

[@STI.Ricardito]

Lol I fucking hate flip flops!

[@Cam888999]

Thongs*

[@nicholasfisher4952]

+Cam888999 one of the best things I've ever seen, given what American's call 'thongs', was when I was walking into a pub with a bunch of American student teachers that another teacher friend of mine was showing around my city, and there was a dress code sign out the front saying 'No thongs'. Half the girls start checking their own arses and wondering out loud 'how would they know?'

[@shepshepherd]

I passed my driving test in one of those (albeit a UK-market Sunny) in 1995. Brings back memories :)

[@RicBrah]

I feel like moog does all the little and easy stuff, and marty just goes all out on everything

[@picoroa3535]

That’s because Moog said that back then he didn’t know much about cars and more just filming and then he learnt though the channel.

[@mightycarmods]

@zonander the video isn't intended as a full guide, more just showing whats possible with the tools and initiative. Some cars you don't lose the fluid from the gearbox when removing shafts, in this case we didn't lose much, and the box had been overfilled previously so it didn't need much of a top up at all.

[@755hp]

1:38 "Basically its faucked"! LMAO!

[@tomaszproblem2684]

The fact the mechanic sounded like a Arab.

[@EPICorWHAT]

Instantly makes the car look like a lambo xD priceless

[@caddy272]

hahahaha oh man my stomach hurts from laughing so hard, That fucking guy on the phone.... hahahaha

[@ibo1137]

Yeah hahah. I laughed my ass off too.

[@battlewuss]

"These snap on to the factory steel wheels and straight away make the car look like a Lamborghini" -Moog hahahahahahahaha

[@NamesCheezy]

WOAH...$40 and i get a lambo like that?! sweet

[@boujeePerformance]

Meanwhile in South Australia no vehicle check required

[@wilkothompson5101]

its great!

[@MrGiomig]

Thats beautiful.

[@Dan4096]

And WA :P

[@garystinten9339]

Vic only required for roadworthy and off you miss your rego date.

[@no.5429]

Jayden Isemonger does SA need roady’s at all? Like for major defects or cars rego’d another state?

[@TurboJoex649]

you can tell hes a true mechanic the way he say's fuck every second word :D

[@miltos_carhub]

10:48 : Do you like that Marty?

[@antinormality]

6:36 "Tighten up the drive shaft nuts TIGHT." WRONG! That will destroy your bearings. The whole purpose of having the castle nut and cotter pin is to keep it from loosening because it's not supposed to be very tight. Usually snug it up and then back off a quarter turn. You want it to be JUST tight enough to take out the play in the bearings. Over torquing it mashes the bearings into the races and you get to start over again. Cool show guys! Just wanted to straighten out that bit of misinformation. Keep on being awesome!

[@jabarty1]

👍

[@itzlahelle8787]

remember that neither Marty or Moog are mechanics, they just do this for fun

[@LaoTseo]

Yes and no. On this particular car, the front wheel bearings are ballbearings. This means than the nut is only fastening the inner ring of the bearing. You would have to tighten the nut ridiculously hard in order to harm the bearing. You would probably destroy the threads before the actual bearing. The bearings you are reffering to are rollerbearings, which should only be tightend until the wheelhub cant move inwards or outwards, just as you where explaining :-) So the boys actually did it as it should be done. Sorry for any spelling errors as my english is kinda' rubbish ;-)

[@antinormality]

LaoTseo That's exactly right! In the case of ball type bearings in the sealed assembly - like this 1994 Nissan Pulsar - LeoTseo is right! In my experience, ball bearings are much less common than roller bearings. Just be mindful of what kind of bearings you have. Marty and Moog DID do the proper procedure for their particular car, but if you're doing this on your own car, there's a good chance you have roller bearings, in which case you should follow the procedure I described above. Thanks LaoTseo!

[@LaoTseo]

antinormality Well you're very welcome. A rule of thumb states that most FWD cars will be fitted with a ball-type bearing on the front axle, and roller-type bearings at the rear. Whereas RWD cars usually have it the other way around :-)

[@aessack9965]

1:39 Made my night! LMAO

[@SiggyCloud]

He didn't sound too happy the mechanic did he. XD

[@marktrenfield]

+Siggy Cloud See! Every video I watch you're in the comments! x3

[@SiggyCloud]

***** As I said I get around XD

[@nicholasfisher4952]

+Siggy Cloud LOL yeah I saw you on another video having an argument with some shithead about furries.

[@nicholasfisher4952]

Yeah man, it's out of the blue and uncalled for. I'm not a furry myself but I get the appeal, and even if I didn't - it's just a thing that some people like and others don't. No need for shaming. We live in a world where it's apparently still acceptable to rape drunk women, but vanilla morons still get butthurt about consensual activity.

[@Mikeyyakson]

little tip: clean your caliper and add some aliminium or copper paste on the brake pads when assembling to make sure they'll glide smoothly

[@krillep87]

I saw that you clamped the brakecaliper hose. To avoid damaging the hose you can use a trick that I have learned. Push the brake down around half way and then let it go back a little bit NOT ALL THE WAY UP. Secure the brakepedal with something so it stays like 3/4 way up. This makes a vaccum in the brakelines so the oil don't get out

[@WTCHME]

+1 They're a team, together they both make the show one of the best car shows ever made.

[@lolvodka3293]

Listen to the last few seconds, Do you like that Martin ?

[@cris8ro]

2022- still gold

[@chrisrodriguez8305]

LMFAO the voice mail tho omg

[@mightycarmods]

@Janeshcw inspection wasn't done at Pulse Racing

[@vrintex]

You known the video is old when the max quality is 480p

[@hutchingjc]

Great show guys, even living in Canada this advice is relevant. We don't have a yearly inspection but i used to live in the UK with the MOT! You didn't mention how much any of your replacement parts cost or if it took you the three days to do all the work. Did it work out so that buying, fixing and reselling would pocket you a little profit? Any vehicle in the UK with 12 months MOT is golden, is it the same in Oz?

[@reallunacy]

You forgot to paint those maad calipers while they were off.

[@dorianhendricks4383]

Painting calipers is pointless if you can't see them through the steel wheels.

[@aaronpeople101]

+Dorian Hendricks you still get 25 kilowatts though

[@mendezmarcos38]

+Aaron Purtell point made. People just don't know how fast paint can make your car. >:(

[@PeterParker-zu8js]

Marcos Mendez if I remember correctly yellow paint gives you 15hp and performance red paint is an astounding 50hp+

[@thebeardedwonder5326]

Peter Parker don’t forget to stripe them for an additional +4.5

[@knobrush]

I'm going back and watching all Marty and Moog's "old" videos. They're still great!!!!

[@MartinTheMad]

Great ep! Loved the mechanic's voice message. Hilarious.

[@jobybyrne29]

These videos are really informative. I think a lot of young people will be inspired to consider careers in the auto industry after watching these.

[@roflman]

glad i live in WA, my kingswood hasnt been inspected for 35+ years and is still regoed

[@j4ckGamez97]

as long as you don't let the Rego run out

[@TOTN17]

same rules in qld and in most of the states

[@bigsohc]

Bloody ripper! 😂

[@zlsnowracer]

the last step is so true! had bought a 96 car with no hubcaps and unwashed, first year safety inspection (3 years ago) was passed but they told me everything from the lug nuts were too rusty to be safe all the way too every drive train component needed replacement yet the next years inspection I had hubcaps and washed it (no other changes) and the same guy gave it a sticker with no other complaints! (could've just been his mood, but still, show you care and they seem to be far more lenient!)

[@TheSavageGarage]

common in the UK?in my 24 years of living in the UK i have never seen, nor heard of a nissan pulsar lol.

[@berurier.noir.]

+welshy46 Yeah, nissan sunny! the gti-r is very rare in my country , but very good car

[@Scrubworks]

It was sold here as the Sunny.

[@Captain13Thirteen]

Its a nissan almera, same car.

[@kanggoo57]

Captain Thirteen its not most def the almera, its the sunny. Almera is completely different

[@kanggoo57]

Nope, its not a almera :P its the sunny which the mcm guys are working on, but yes the n15 and vzr are the same cars, nissan just has no logic rebranding cars lol

[@rokero171]

Here in Brazil in some states don't have even the annual inspection in the cars, is only need pay the taxes and get the new documents of the car, and in the states who does have the inspection, they only checks the lights and the emissions of the car, the real inspection, when they checks the brakes, suspension, and other important things, is only needed when is certified the modifications of the car, like turbo, suspension and other modifications.

[@hkbm07]

LOL for the ¨you like that marty¨ a the last second of the video

[@jakethomas8286]

"These snap on to the car's factory steel wheels, and straight away make the car look like a lamborghini." LMAO

[@FourTwenny]

OMG. I'm in Saskatchewan Canada. We are all going nuts here over some new laws that just took effect on june 27th 2014. The police are aloud to put photoradar in 3 school zones and on a freeway we call Ring Road. They can also impound your vehicle if you get caught speeding 35km over the speed limit twice. A 3 day impound. People are nuts about it here. We have absolutely no checks (we call it a safety) on our cars though. Unless a car is in a reported accident (lots of people don't report fender benders) the car is never safety'd. It also needs a safety if bought from out of province. The thing with that is, if the car is bought out of province and 35 years or older, no safety or emissions check is required, and it can get plated (reggo'd) for a year for $149. I am so happy to live where i do right now.

[@FourTwenny]

A guy i work with did deliveries for half of a winter in a suzuki swift with just a handbrake. He never got in any accidents. I still don't know how he manages to get his pants on in the morning, over top of his gigantic balls.

[@mediajunkie93]

Yeah In Australia it is pretty bad, You go 10 over the speed limit and can risk losing your license for a year, you drive a car with rust and have to take it to the mechanic within the next two weeks to be fixed. If you modify your car, insurance is more and also you risk getting tagged by the police for the smallest offences. Example my friend got 18" rims on his Hatchback and and nice exhaust, Police pulled him over for "hooning" now he has his car taken from him for 3 months. Keep in kind only a quarter of Australia has available public transport and we have the most expensive taxis in the world so yeah it is pretty bad in the land down under.

[@william207able]

In Victoria Australia if you are caught over 40kph you will lose your car for 28 days on the spot (towed away at your expense). Third time your car is crushed! No exceptions. To tell the truth it's worked really well, with most dicks losing their license very quickly.

[@william207able]

I couldn't agree more.

[@FourTwenny]

Have you considered teaching your children to look both ways before crossing the street?

[@samurphy]

In a lot of places (southern US especially) a car will usually be off the road for other reasons before it becomes tragically unsafe. Unfortunately, here in the Canadian Rust Belt, a car only 2-3 years old could be rendered unsafe due to rust and corrosion, if you don't take preventative measures.

[@dillonhatton6131]

Who else heard "do you like that martin" at the VERY end?

[@lewisyang91]

if it's metal on metal, def need new pads, might want to resurface rotors/get new ones. some compounds will squeak regardless, but it's good to check your brake pad indicators, which are usually thin bits of metal on top of the pads, and you can check without assembling anything.

[@th3thin9]

"Everyfin is facked! Git this peece o' shit outta mah shap!"

[@originalmilkchicken]

@ubxp A Safety check is much easier to get than a defect clearance. a defect is issued to the car because the police, epa etc feel is in a unroadworthy state. this meaning you need a rwc to show it is roadworthy again and all mods or defects have been removed, while a safety check in nsw is only a check over to make sure a car is roadworthy for another year.

[@justinnigel3822]

For the drive shaft bolts I used a breaker bar and used a jack to push the breaker bar up fuck I'm smart

[@abdulmaliksq187]

i wish i was this smart

When you were pouring the powersteering fluid in hold the bottle the opposite way, with the spout on top. This lets air flow easier into the bottle and reduces the gurgling and creates a better flow thats easier to control.

[@STLxFANGxSTANG05]

You guys are awesome. I hope to have your knowledge one day, so that I can work on my own cars. :) Keep up the good work. :)

[@Lukerr239]

Great tutorials guys. This was what you were all about! The new stuff is good too, but this is actually useful :/

[@WIOACE]

Great video good to see you still put the bling on the wheels. what happens in oz if the car fails the second time?

[@nmcph8]

In New South Wales you need to pass one when you transfer rego for a car into your name and every year to re-register it, but the other states only need it when transferring into your name, not every year.

[@CraigFyfe]

i like your funny muck around episodes but seriously you need moe episodes like this! proper work on the engine bay and stuff that helps, i actually learnt something from this cheers guys!

[@gordo5863]

Also, when using brake fluid, always have a 600ml bottle of water handy. If the fluid spills/splashes on paint work or alloy, rinse immediately with the water. Will mostly stop the brake fluid eating paint or staining the alloy. ;)

[@Verwimppx]

They always taught me to never sit at a car with your limbs underneath it unless necessary. Just in case of the car falling of the stands or anything like that.. Great vids tho', like them a lot!

[@michaelovitch]

@baldolera the rust is faster than the wear in your country.

[@TheCuz117]

I love the professional mechanic report on the phone!

[@daltoniks]

Did that job on my vw transporter t4, new driveshafts, shocks, rubber mounts, engine mounts, cleaned up rust, installed power steering... took me 3 days to do it. Dirty job, but worth doing.

[@eivis13]

Meanwhile in Australia no one knows what's real to the bone hard hard work.

[@kevinren10]

exhausts do help, as it helps pull the piston up during the exhaust stage.

[@piemagon]

Hahaha as always you guys deliver on the entertainment and on the info, btw LOVED the mechanic voicemail.

[@AlphaDeltaCompany]

Here in the states(Michigan to be exact) to get a car registered all you have to do is walk into a Secretary of State office and tell them I want to register my car. They never even see it. You tell them make, model, year, color, VIN, done. In the State of California, I believe you have to get your car smog tested every two years as part of your registration. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

[@ComradeRachel]

lol im a inspector here in Texas, each state dose there own auto inspections, and much different then what y'all have. much less strict. mainly just no check engine MIL , tires not bald, lights/blinkers. and good wipers and that's really it, the rest takes to long to really check.

[@mightycarmods]

@vinceee20 sure is!

[@story_time8]

In Canada you only get a safety inspection A when the police give you a notice saying you have to, and B the car come from out of your province/country.

[@Xaevi]

Owning a car in australia sounds nice. Cheap as hell to buy and when you maintain them, looks like you don't need to worry about corrosion that much. I didn't se any anglegrinders, rust remover or destroyed bolts and so on...

[@alpzepta]

Australia is probably a best country for a car and truck. You can get from very American V8 to very European or Japanese 3 cylinder. Ford F-350? No problem Australia got it too. Toyota Land Cruiser with 1HZ engine as a cheaper alternative? Heck yeah! Same with semi truck you can get both American Truck, European Cabover truck, or Japanese Cabover truck.

[@scunicycler]

Super helpful video. I wonder why we don't have to get mechanic checks here in the US? I always see the guys on Top Gear having to get a MOT, and I had no idea what that was...

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

Dude...the message from that mechanic....wow

[@TR.Pixels]

Thats how you know it's a decent mechanic.

[@Tony-112]

That's normal in Australia.✌️

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

@@Tony-112 wow. Lotta bar fights over there?

[@Walaboro]

if they dont know what they are doing.. The computer system makes everything much much easier, but doing it by manual measurements works just fine. and it wont be a waste of money since you dont pay if your car is not realigned properly and a good shop wont send the car out until the alignment is good.

[@the1stDDD]

Definitely your best video yet! Cant wait till you do an episode on changing auto trans to manual! Might also be good fun watching the two of you competing against each other in a top gear style challenge....like the africa challenge ^.^ Dan

[@bringingtherukas7473]

Out of curiosity one year i took mt car to get 3 pink slips, all 3 had different faults, not one mentioned faults other places had found. the tyre and suspension place said the suspension was leaking/broke, mechanic said needed new engine and gearbox mounts and another said seatbelt was worn and crack in brake light. SO be careful, If you think you are being ripped off get another check. will probably be the best 30ish bucks you spend

[@juanclappacino]

I have been waiting for a new one in a while

[@MrWoodyberg]

Depends on the province. Some require annual inspections.

[@1993Revhead]

I watch this video every now and then for the awesome mechanic's phone call

[@Tatelina]

I'm in awe if you guys aren't mechanics. Wish I had the patience and initiative to learn about all of that. :P

[@ArkansasMediaGroup]

I live in Arkansas, no inspection or anything needed here. Just replace your car tags when needed and your good.

[@alexanderbrown6938]

Not in Queensland. I drove a Micra for my first year of driving - when we sold it we found out it had no brake pads.

[@carlosrenteria2495]

Anyone watching in 2020? Its bringing me back a lot of memories!

[@thedarkgreenvanman]

@baldolera Actually in ontario theres emissions testing and when you buy a car it has to go through safety

[@hayksamvelyan]

@Tatelina hehe :) I'm one of those people that tries to learn to do everything by myself. So this is actually not too bad, you just need a lot of strength/torque to break the bolts loose. Or power tools which are expensive to get. So it's a major pain in the ass, since nothing ever goes smoothly the first time. I'd rather just give the car to a mechanic who has the tools and experience to do it faster, when it comes to something big like this.

[@Wadamish]

Its fine. It has not affected mine, I am sure just like all the other stuff you get on your pads etc is immediately rubbed off as soon as you apply the breaks. :)

[@CarloBtt]

Isn't it the same fluid? as far as i know dexron II fluid for example is good for both power steering and auto transmission.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

No kidding! well I didn't know it was that way across all of Aus! its different in every place of Canada too, province to province can be reallly different

[@krisrinstrumentals]

As far as i know they aren't the same at all. I used proper power steering fluid in my car and it moaned and groaned untill i took it out and put Automatic Trans Fluid in. Heaps of mechanics I know have told me the same thing.

[@Skarfar90]

In Norway, and in many countries in the EU, the cars need to get an inspection every two years, or every year if it is 30 years or older! And they are very picky about even the small stuff that MAY be wrong :p New or newer used cars are usually very expensive, so we just like to hold on to our good old runners!
