We found this broken 180SX a few years ago, so we decided to fix it. This is the story of Tay Tay.

[@samc5898]

Can we actually appreciate how well Moog can handle a car that's sideways

[@PrototypePanda1]

Sam C it's a 180 there pretty easy to handle there like the easiest drift car

[@MyILoveMinecraft]

Jimmy Hopkins easiest Drift car. Son. Have you heard of a Toyota.. A special one.. The AE 86.. Sprinter trueno...

[@Initial_Gopnik]

never go full Pony trueno*

[@organizedsolid]

never go full Pony 180sx is definitely easier to drift, longer wheelbase, independent rear, more power. Don't get me wrong the 86 is a legend and one of my favourite cars but for a beginner a 180sx is an easier car to drift

[@billybobjoe198]

Dude you're like 12, skidding is not hard, it's natural.

[@donald_ts]

The old owner is watching this video and crying again.

[@Tool0GT92]

Crying about their lack of funds, hard work, and imagination.

yeah that s15 was so clean

That car will be avenged again, and marty's cockiness will get the best of him as usual. remember how the subaru vs nissan battle ended?

"I WILL DEFEAT ALL NISSIANS"- Marty, Moog rolls up in an r35

And then Marty blows up his gearbox.

[@alebone_]

"Horizons" might be my favorite track from you moog, good job on this one!

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

How cool is this opening scene?

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

Men, this is the best of the best films you've put together. I can count on one hand of moments that are so well put together. It's not just the scenes, it's your music talent Moog. Thank you to you too, Marty.

[@mightycarmods]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

Mighty Car Mods My pleasure. It's easy when it's true.

[@Aedanz31]

i watched the opening scene like 4 times haha

Every songs he made is his best work!

[@burdazza4673]

To be honest I don't like moogs music

[@issackaiser]

BURD AZZA As long as you respect his work, it’s ok if you don’t like it. Different ear cause for different taste.👍🏻

[@clashbandicoot7860]

This is why i love cars, it's because of the tuning that you make a bond with the car, get to know it better and when it's finally done you are basically soul mates with the car.

[@bappo3272]

Milan potman agreed ❤️💯👊

[@InHerMajestiesDefense]

100%

[@mightycarmods]

The song featured in this video is a new track by MOOG and Erin Renee. Thank you for supporting independent music! mightycarmods.com/collections/music/products/horizons-feat-erin-renee-single

No way!

Becomes a problem when applied to girls

[@MuscleCarLover]

Exactly...on both accounts

[@martinunagarcia]

The people who subtitle these videos are legends.

[@sum1livs]

This is an absolute beaut of a transformation. You have inspired me to put my 180 back on the road, all the setbacks are so worth the feels of getting into the drivers seat! 😌

[@whatthefuckisayoutubehandle]

OMG how emotional I love tay tay

[@ericcampbell2360]

marmite boy No fuck you he just had it painted

[@aa-xd1qr]

"he just had it painted" - like the MCM guys give a shit, because they sticker bomb pretty well everything.

[@vindicate6997]

True

[@InHerMajestiesDefense]

same

[@pguth98]

Hit like as soon as I saw Taytay's new look.

[@Masamune0191]

I don't know what it was exactly, but the music for the montage of the transformation made me really emotional. I really loved this car the most out of every car you guys have worked on. Thank you guys for always making rad and hilarious videos. Happy Christmas, boys

[@nickmullens8907]

Remember when you first bought this car havnt seen any of your videos in a while but stumbled back on your page tonight. Lots of memories I remember the white mx5 . Glad to see you guys still doing what you do best

[@876_rebel]

I knew u weren't gonna disappoint me Moog!! the car looks great!

[@prescott231233]

Dave the music is also great too!

[@offtrackpl]

There is nothing better than the connection you feel to your own cars

[@BrosefDudley]

The old rear spoiler that was on Taylor Drift before you sold it was way better than the one that's on it now. RWD FTW!!!

[@RUSH_ed6]

Videos like this are the reason why we watch! Great content and a strong emotional connection to each project you guys put together. Bravo! 🙌🏽 its been another great year watching the channel

[@chimpaflimp]

All that work and the front bumper still shakes like Michael J Fox in an earthquake.

I remember the first drift pig build that's actually turned my on to you guys and ive been a fan since then and what keeps me coming back is the fact that you guys are one of a few real car shows on KZbin who is sponsored but actually dose their own work and what yall do isn't a stretch for a normal person to do keep it going guys #taytaydriftpig

[@guiririque]

This video just makes me feel pround of you guys, your love and your work for "tay tay" it's just amazing. I remember when i saw "Season 5 premiere" some years ago, Tay Tay is a warrior !

I've been watching mighty car mods for years now. it's always been a channel I've loved to watch but the last year or so it's just gone to another level. from the camera work to the projects everything just has so much thought and love put in to it. congrates lads, epic channel epic tay tay and I can't wait for the Nissan destroyer. keep up the good work and thank you.

[@saabgarage3574]

I always tend to shed a tear watching newer MCM videos, unbelievable how far they got with these videos. its awesome. Just need more Japan visits/videos.

[@percilenis8464]

Finally, a proper 180 and a proper MCM video.

[@helplmchoking]

Wow damn, that intro got me so pumped. That car is gorgeous, mad props to the boys for all the hard work. Also, Moog that soundtrack is sick.

[@DuckyBee156]

Banging tune MOOG! Good to see you boys come back after a long absence with two fantastic transformations. Top lads!

[@albz8234]

When you see vids like these and have owned one of these cars as your first car,it takes you back to 2005 when my came off a boat straight from japan.Thanks for bringing me back in time,miss my 180sx

[@CrazyIvan1337]

"This is your mum calling." HA! Got 'em!!!

[@Judgey19XX]

You guys turned two bangers into cars I would actually own, thanks for an awesome year of MCM!

[@jfoulstone]

Moog, what a bloody song. I had to stop mid episode to buy it. Honestly mate, you just get better and better. Please make more tracks like this. You have incredible talent.

[@Johnnyeatsitall]

Man this car is amazing and has a cool story, I love how you gave her a second chance and brought that 180 back to life! MCM as always another great video!

[@sk8meup9]

cant wait to finish my project, these past 2 videos have got me motivated

[@ThyGeneral]

"This is your mom calling" What a legend.

[@probablyrobert9086]

it looks so good oh my god. that's an astounding showcase of what a little bit of work accomplishes honestly

[@94XJ]

I can't believe it's been so long...I remember the big unveiling of the 180 and waiting for each new video for progress on it. Awesome to see the project picked back up and turned into a pretty decent looking little car!

[@shaggings]

You saved that 180sx and made it look right and badass. Good work.

[@AlexGreenwoodUkulele]

Mart, do you remember what happened the last time you said "I will defeat all nissans"? You blew your fucking gearbox up. jk m80, good luck xD

[@OneHuntiBoi]

'I will defeat all nissans' *pulls up photo of a GTR* 'Did you forget?' XD

[@Spazzy2779]

[@Nichodo]

SUBARUTE WILL BEAT THE NISSANS!

[@nmarez]

He said he will defeat all Nissans but it was an EVO so technically he is correct until proven otherwise :D

[@NikoMoraKamu]

it's awesome to see the evolution of tay tay, i met your channel because of the first 180sx in 2012

[@retrogameshow]

I really get the feels with this video! It reminds me of my journey with my MX5, wish I had film equipment when I first got it because I went through a lot of what you guys DID with this car. My MX5 even got stolen last year and thankfully it was found.....so I cherish it even more, just like you do with TAY TAY!

[@trefod]

"All Nissans will be defeated!" -Great cliffhanger at the end of the year, looking forward to 2017 MCM.

[@BIOHAZARDCURE]

Marty is going to get an EVO to smash that 180!

[@cuFFthisSh1T]

BIOHAZARDCURE never

[@AidanBenny]

he is getting a Subaru look on Instagram

[@lyricsmaster8457]

Never. 180 will smash that bitch-ass evo.

[@BIOHAZARDCURE]

KillinItWithLyrics I am a Mitsubishi fanboy, just admitting it now. A real evo would probably toast that 180. Marty's car isn't an evo.

[@lyricsmaster8457]

You're correct. I like my fair share of Mitsubishi's, but I love Nissan. I also love the red 2007 Pontiac G5 Coupe.

[@nahfamimgood]

that intro genuinely put a smile on my face. that was awesome. keep it up guys

[@devjock]

Love it! This car has been to hell and back, and I'm amazed how you guys brought it back from the dead. Your enthusiasm and passion for this car is infectious. Picking up my very own Miss Daisy next week. Keep on keepin on mates!

[@jamesbennett1576]

Knowing that you guys produce the music on your videos adds so much more production value. Good on ya.

[@FC1032]

*looks at own 180sx* we'll get there some day

[@REPTARisaG]

FC1032 I feel the same way when I see badass built versions of my car. 87 Pontiac Fiero. I don't if some trash talk my car. They usually end up getting smoked by only 4 cylinder under my hood LMAO.

I love that you've stuck with this car. I'm a fan of long time projects. Looks great and sounds rad. Also has always been one of my favorite project cars

[@Shekefie]

These guys are truly the best car channel on KZbin. Great builds and great times

[@Th3BoyDad]

This 180sx is clean and no one would ever know it was in horrible condition beforehand

[@pedromartins8347]

holly shit, Moog can drift.

[@thatonecarenthusiast8491]

plus, mighty car mods has shown the world that well, if your dedicated enough to your car, than you can do anything to it. and also that you can do anything with any car. I love you guys so much, your my personal car hero's to me.

[@Josh-to7it]

The intro gave me chills. The 180 is back from the dead. Well done. Well freaking done.

[@1300l]

I know that it belong to subway But bring Miss Daisy back ;) So much potential that car has

[@prescott231233]

1300l I agree. They should turn it into an outback off roader or something. Like a Baja bug.

[@danielbazyuk]

1300l so true

[@itsameceejay]

They sold Miss daisy already. (or at least was trying to a few weeks ago.) But they were selling it as a rolling shell, without the built motor.

[@JordanGlennon]

Carl Francisco on what site ?

[@itsameceejay]

jglennon94 it was up for sale on one of our local sales groups on FB

[@k1er4n544]

well done moog the 180 looks fine as hell, Just don't kill taytay again by giving her to a lunatic. lol

[@JAYSWORLD300]

so true ;)

[@MagnaVocem]

This is beautiful. Been keeping up with you guys and TayTay since she was bought! Congrats!

[@ThoseCarDudes]

Looks so much better now! Amazing what some hard work, good mates and a few late nights can achieve! Well done guys!

[@36thgallardo]

Remember when MCM used to document each build in a series of videos instead of one short one? I member

[@Greggs_69]

Pepperidge farm remembers

[@baijokull]

They've made at least 5 videos on this one since he bought it back...

[@MrLecti]

Glad I'm not the only one...was feeling a bit of a dick because I was thinking of saying the same....

[@mightycarmods]

If you're new here, welcome! There are about 10 full episodes of this car on our channel, filmed over a period of years - from the moment we bought it and all the mods right through to the tune and Dyno runs. Feel free to check them out and you'll have hours and hours of episodes on this car. (And if you're not new, make sure you click the bell next to the subscribe button to make sure you get notifications)

[@36thgallardo]

There was a lot of stuff in this episode that wasn't shown anywhere else

[@abeg1571]

The finishing of 2Sexy and TayTay quickly and kinda rushed kind of worries me. Are they getting busier, or even moving on?

[@giriwidodo8013]

abeg1571 same here

[@jrstormont]

abeg1571 maybe they just wanted to wrap them up by the end of the year. Maybe that was even their original goal for the project.

[@abeg1571]

Hope so

[@iiSkylineii92]

Well, they are doing that thing with Roadkill in America, so yeah I think they've probably been kinda busy lol

[@jrstormont]

iiSkylineii92 good point.

[@Lowerthaibar]

I have to admit that watching the journey of both TayTay and 2Sexy have been some of the most fun episodes you guys have done. The Mini and SuperGramps are boss in their own rights, but something about beater/race cars just makes these two so amusing.

[@kylejames5592]

well done moog, great looking car you have brought life back to an old beaten 180. cant wait for the next project. i myself have just purchased a soarer for my next project car and cant wait to get stuck into it. keep up all the good work!!

[@JoshSendo]

I Love Moog !! He Turned that car upside down. 180sx for the win

[@skidtechracing8674]

Moog you proved the haters wrong looks mint

[@SirDaffyD]

I can't say which car is best, because both have different purposes. It's been a great pleasure watching both these car evolve from the bombs they where to the great fun machine they are now. Looking forward to what you have lined up for us next year guys. Keep the awesome builds coming. BTW: That sound track is awesome. FUBAR!!

[@mikepeterson1791]

MOOG congrats man! This is the most satisfying MCM vid I have ever seen. Enjoy that righteous heap for all its worth. (Also, thanks for not using ACDC's "Back In Black" at any point in this)

[@adhamghaly7256]

congrats for both taytay and 2mill subs

You can reely see he loves that car even if it's not in perfect condition, but i think it will be soon if he keeps it longer.

[@linziegentry593]

Glad to see that you stuck with it & didn't loose the faith. The car looks great & seems to be riding the same. Great vid.

What'd mum say?

[@danielkruger7589]

Who knew Tay Tay could make a Humble Pie look so good, and smell like burning rubber and unicorn goodness. I was with you guys for the first build, and got excited when I saw it come back. Good job on everything! I'm excited to see what Marty has in storage for the next round. MAAAAAD!

[@DJDavidShmosh]

I might be bias because I am a HUGE fan of Nissan 240sx, but I adore Tay Tay. Never sell this car Moog! Keep it. I see your excitement and a gleem in your eye when you look at it. You already lost it once and got it back! Seriously keep it this time. This particular build and series on the 180sx has been my favorite. Keep the good content going, and please for the love of Nissan Gods keep Tay Tay!

is your name rake?

[@Frankjp555]

Thank you Moog for bringing the 180 back, it's the car build that got me into your shenanigans as car guys. I can't believe it's been 4 years, I still remember the blue turd like it was yesterday. Keep up the good work guys, can't wait for Tay Tay and Too Sexy to get nasty with eachother.

[@rumennikolov8706]

Sounds like a challenge to me! Great build, great! Hopefully I can do the same with my civic coupe that I sold. You guys are inspiration for me, and lately not many thing or people can make me inspired. That's the moments that count, moments of pure happiness, no hate, not care what you drive, as long as it's built, not just bought! Keep going strong!

[@joealex65]

R.I.P. Tay Tay, Benny confirmed it was parted out.

Beautiful car, great tunes. Glad to see this car back on the show

[@dawsonfoster5443]

Thank god, they didn't do something ridiculous with it. Love a clean black 180, you truly did it perfectly
