Turning a $500 Toyota MR2 into a $20,000 Toyota MR2! (Part 10)

[@mishky_2958]

Definitely one of the best project car channels on KZbin, never gets boring since you always have something interesting on your hands, love the videos!!

[@younghope24]

Bringing back memories work on my mr2, cardboard is a fabricators friend. Loving the progress guys super nice work

[@jamesfcookjr]

Throtl ViP squad Good afternoon Mickey,Jeff,Rickie,Evan,Rick awesome more MR2 content that shift is going to be sick in the MR2 👍😊

[@throtl]

Woo! Thanks James!

[@jamesfcookjr]

You guys alll know I have throtl‘ snack nothing but love for throtl 😊🤙🏽

[@ot7694]

No matter how shitty of a day i had , Throtl videos always turn this frown upside down!👊

[@throtl]

That’s what we like to hear! Cheers Oscar!

[@aaronmartinez795]

The MR2 has come such a long way! I remember meeting you guys when y’all came down to Chicago & the car was far from this! I kept bugging you guys aha but glad to see y’all didn’t give up on the project! It is coming out amazing also a great choice of engine!

[@elijahlawrence8010]

Aaron Martinez you must be new...they never give up on projects

[@aaronmartinez795]

Elijah Lawrence noo not new.. been supporting the channel since 90k subs. Everyone was asking for a MR2 update since it was just set aside for a while. I think the throtl guys even considered selling it at one point but to see it now I’m sure everybody at the huntquarters breaks their neck every time they walk passed it. Might even be the most bad ass car at the shop when it’s finished! 🤘🏼

[@dawson2464]

MR2 content is best content

[@deusvultelect3389]

No.1 car give away channel on youtube..

When Ricky plays with ur shift knob. Hmmmm yeahh baby oh yeahhhh baby.

Hello my beard brother. I would take a cardboard box the approximate size of the two vents put together and fill that whole box with expandable foam in a can. Maybe 4-5 cans. Let it set up. Then you can peel the cardboard off and shape it so you can fit the large foam block in the frunk. Then just carve out your scoops, cover with painters tape so resin doesn't stick, and 3 layers of chop mat. Bondo and glazing putty. Prime and paint. Done. Enjoying the MR2 my dudes.

[@jfcarwashbn3050]

Got waken up by notification. Saw its from throtl..got very excited. Click like even before watching. Love the builts n much love all the way from Brunei. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@throtl]

Woo!!! Thanks mr JT

[@jfcarwashbn3050]

@@throtl keep it up.. Too bad cant join you guys for the meet since we are far apart which from one end to the other end..😭 Hopefully more vids during the meet as well.. 😁🤙🏻 So that i can only watch at your channel.. 😁

[@theredbeardopinion6044]

Glad to hear you're taking a different approach to the snorkel/hood ducting. The original design would have created horrible drag/flow issues. Good on you for taking the more difficult yet better approach!

[@JCAutoworks]

Just got home and throtl uploads, perfect timing 🤙

[@throtl]

My dude!!! :)

[@AlphaMachina]

Just totally fell in love with you guys for making those hood vents functional. Awesome work. You guys are killing it.

[@brandonmiller9155]

ɑʟpʜɑ ɱɑсʜɪиɑ just because it allows air flow doesn’t make it functional. I wonder how negatively it’s affected the car, particularly at speed.

[@brandonkelleher662]

Have you thought of doing a fiber glass cover with tunnels that will cover the front bay up

[@zwift9229]

Thank you guys for switching up the music 💯🔥👌🏼

[@antonymcdonagh9599]

Like like like , I’m so glad you guys went for individual snorkels 100% Micky spec

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

when you do the snookles Mickie don;t forget the drain holes in them so they don't collect water in them nothing more irritating than when water pools up in them because we forgot to drill out the drain holes.but it's looking great guys and with the short throw shifter that will really be fun to shift and the sound system will rock.

[@jinxtacy]

It's kind of neat you read the comments. I think when I do my swap in spring I'm going to make content so that I get a lot of lovely advice and I can learn all of the things I'm forgetting or doing incorrectly. It's like having a thousand sets of eyes to double-check the work.

[@MRIIMKII]

You guys should go to the MR2 meet here in the east coast called MR2 Bear Mountain Memorial Meet here in Mahwah NJ It's amazing. We had one on the 28th of september. You guys should come to that one next year!!!!!!!! Everyone would love to see this car!

[@vizualmrs]

I believe MR2 Assemble is alot larger. Go to the masses

[@MRIIMKII]

@@vizualmrs Yeah a little larger also it is on the other side of the country and not everyone can make that trip and besides there's also a lot of owners that don't even know of these events are going on. Either way I'm glad to see more MR2's on the road

[@neng631]

Easy man this is a Family Program😂😂😂😂

[@alexrothschild5044]

love the channel. i created playlists of all yall's builds so i can watch and listen in the background while I"m working on my daytrading. Yall should consider looking for an IS300 to build. I'm a big fan of powerful sedans. I'm sure a lot of family guys love stuff with power that they can put carseats in the back of too. just something to think about. Keep up the great work.

[@XxM3TALGUMxX]

Watch the build biology from hoonigan on the Twins Turbo Supra. They made a ducting for the intercooler very similar to what you’re going for the snorkel. They did a killer job with that scoop!

[@ThatV12MiataBruh]

I love that the work you guys do isn't just slapped together but it's done really nicely 🔥🔥

[@adiCT0316]

I see MR2 content, I hit like.

[@jlinares1992si]

Throtl been killing it with the videos on the youtube app lately 👌

[@chrysfil9810]

I thing you can do the job with some thermo plastic (you will be able to give any shape you want). The mr2 looks very very very nice guy's 😍

[@jcruz4018]

Its beautiful so far , cant wait to get one too

[@alexpalomera1170]

You guys build the cleanest cars 🤤

[@crzyshinobi4378]

If you ever need a custom molded race seat for a build I work at Speed Seat Factory, and we make custom seats for any car. Air cooled and vented seats are an option through us as well.

[@lewischafer3333]

I Really in enjoyed Watching the Amazing Build MR2 it Very Interesting to Watch

[@Z32orDIe]

Lovin the mr2

[@gigarcia3093]

Mr 2 coming together good

[@mrrpm246246]

I'd really love to see you guys do a VW mk4 golf gti build......07k swap

[@job-naxco.1611]

That ducting for the radiator does not look fun to fabricate. I’m interested to see how it turns out in the next video though. Keep them wrenches turning boys!

[@josh.nalepa6596]

Ty for making it clear with stuff like the green stuff on the fly wheel,the fly wheel bolts,etc. I'm sure some of us didn't realize you cut something's/didn't put some stuff in the video. I'm one of them, my bad lol when I saw the green stuff on the fly wheel and things going on after it, it scared me since some people have forgotten/got issues from it lol

[@treiko88]

Can't wait to see you guys start Mr. 2

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Guys you may consider using 3D printing for doing air ducting, check with local tech college, would be a great project for students, myself I’m a CAD instructor.

[@IM_ACID]

WHAT IT DO BABYYYY

[@KirbyPuckett91]

You mean to tell me that if I didn't see it on film or hear the torque wrench clicks it still happened? Preposterous. Terrific build.

[@SuperBobKing]

There was an extremely small number of sw20 spiders made, most of which were silver with blue trim and blue interior accents, so painting the valve covers blue is kind of fitting. As far as I know they were only sold in Japan, and I know for a fact that two of the ones that were exported privately had that trim repainted silver or black, so there aren't many pictures available, at least searching in English.

[@Cbrmansc77]

Cant wait to see it you rock evan and mickey!!

[@jinnshou]

Got hooked on this project series since day 1!! Now I feel bad selling my dad's MR2 5 years ago.

[@GRPLiningServices]

Rule 1 of MR2 ownership is to never sell it.

[@kelvincermeno9015]

I CANT WAIT!!

[@patrickcurtiss2049]

I would love to see you guys do a custom Pontiac Fiero!!!!

[@elijahlawrence8010]

Patrick Curtiss Tavarish just bought one if you want fiero content

[@maycodesignandengineering7514]

also enclose the bottom between the radiator and the chassis, it is better for aero and also the flow from the radiator. But you do not want rocks to fly up behind the radiator and smashing your front windshield

[@JCHKER]

Keep up the awesome work boys! 🔥🔥🔥

[@owenrichards7558]

Get yourself a Rogue Motorsport headlight kit, makes the MR2 look smarter !

[@ganador13]

You need to cut a one inch deep square into the center of that sheet of metal you were trying to fit and measure. Cut in such a way that the sheet will slide down one inch further than you had it, allowing the center bar of your "kidney holes" to fit into the one inch square. Then you can bend down the pair of flaps that are sticking into the radiator area. Those flaps should go down one inch, allowing plenty room to bolt or weld any way you like. once they are bent down, duct tape them to the wall that faces the radiator. now the flap can move loosely up and down inside the front. remove your skeleton and let the flap fall flat on the battery. close the hood and reach down to grab the flap and pull it up so it hits your vents inside. Now you can make it stay put with more duct tape in the radiator area and anywhere else you like to make it stay put. Sharpy marker the point where it kisses the hood vents. Now you can lift the hood and the metal sheet stays. Now carefully add metal skeleton center bar support to reflect its position and wrap the sides as needed. Avoiding rain in frunk requires much more typing but im happy to explain if needed ive done it twice.

[@owenbartos9352]

Intro sounds like the educational videos we watched in middle school

[@andybaker5787]

Cars looking good keep up the good work

[@delmarhunt2587]

Can't wait for the next vid awesome job guys keep it up

[@MIUBHI007]

Why not make a Styrofoam mold and fiberglass over that? Get some foam, mount it to the front of the frunk, shave the foam down till the hood lines up with the top of the foam (when it's closed) mark some lines from the hood scoops (?) and do the same where the inside of the frunk goes to the radiator. Then sand/shape them exactly how you want them so they can be two separate pieces. After that, you can wrap them with tape, saran wrap or use a fiberglass resin that doesn't react with the foam you chose and fiberglass them up with a flange on each side so the rubber gasket will make a perfect seal to the hood and you'll have a way to mount the snorkel on the inside of the frunk. Pretty simple to do and a hell of a lot cleaner job than trying to make it out of sheet metal. Good luck guys, can't wait to see it all done!

[@mrkazman]

You can stop screaming at 16:15 everybody. Good work, go home! Thank you, Micky, for sharing your work with us.

imagine having to pull your radiator just get jump started or even changing the battery lmfao

[@ducttapebeast2020]

The battery sits behind the spare tire

[@mickeyandrade3435]

The battery is fully accessible. The ducting we are making will reside in the same location as the spare tire. Plenty of room for service.👍🏼

[@shanefanon]

Cool !

[@ΒασίλειοςΔιονύσιος]

The way you do this without any direct tunnels might rip off your hood. Great effort though! Can't wait to see it finished!

[@bradrivera2058]

Are you driving up in caravan? I'm down to drive up with you guys if you are.

[@Bri-tg6xr]

Don't you want the "snorkel" design to overlap the holes behind the rad, that way water that flows off the hood doesn't end up in the frunk area and rotting it out?
