I like these single episodes a lot. Seeing a build start to finish in under an hour is nice

[maddoctor]

I can’t watch MCM videos now without being astounded that you guys produce all the music in your vids. Insanely impressive.

[jasonkelley]

Oh snap! A 50 minute MCM video? I love it when you guys do this. Time to get some popcorn ready!

[BrianGillespie_brianathasport]

Marty, let me know when you’re ready to do a k-series in that. I’ll ship out all the parts and fly out to help with the install.

Videos like these bring back many memories of the golden age of 90's imports. I remember my father and uncles, all having to work with what they had, little money and limited resources to put together something that would run and be fun to drive. It's still amazing to see how these older nuggets are still going and people still modify them.

kinda like the one big episode, it's pretty damn epic! Should do it more often

[chrisanderson]

I LOVE what you guys do. I am a 57 year old Kiwi mechanic and love the whole "chuck it in and sort it later" attitude.

[BerryFarmGaming]

This has only been up 8 seconds and i can already tell this is a certified Might Car Mods classic

[KingdomAuto]

You guys continue to stay true to your roots, modifying cars that 95% of us drive - love it! Keep up the fantastic work!

[aidenjagdeo]

i got my first ek hatch a coupledays ago and this video is inspiring fr

[ReedyCreek]

This is the kind of video that i always thought the old driveway days would evolve to, Nugget cars, familiar faces, but the environment has been upgraded as you have got older and wiser, awesome vid

Love to see Isaac in an episode. The knowledge that kid has is phenomenal, a joy to watch.

[FazilaKhilawan]

What an honor to be called tuning fork. Imagine learning from a master tech called that. You know you learning from the best. Watching a genius at work is humbling. Thank you.

[KelzCasa]

This episode reminds me of watching MCM about ten years ago. Simple, cheap, and just pure.

I love how Tuning Fork hammered down, and then asked if the brakes work though. 😆

[InfectedVizions]

Love your work boys. This is insane cinematography.

People should post long form videos like this more often. I love seeing the entire build come together in one episode that isn't just a 10 minute time lapse and I have also grown tired of watching 20 15 minute episodes for one build. These longer, almost home movie type videos are great and I'd much prefer getting one of these over the other option

[MattBorchert]

Really love the long-form content! With Youtube's push for short clips trying to make it like a certain different social media platform, I love seeing content like this. Appreciate it!

[howieewalt]

I have a US EH8 with the D16z6 Vtec. Never thought I'd see a big channel modifying a single cam civic, but here we are! Cheers!

[kevinfox]

Marty. Love seeing, and hearing the excitement in your voice, hearing the Civic turn over and fire. Such pure emotion, that made me feel the same.

It reminded me of a special moment in my life. The day my daughter wanted to talk adoption with me and her mom. First time she called me Dad.

That's exactly how I fealt.

Thank you. After the last 3 years of struggle to get as close to what my life was in 2019, after an above knee amputation. Followed by 9 months sleeping in our truck, at a local truck stop. You and Moog kept us driven to keep going, keep moving forward, and to not give up.

We turned it around, and are still climbing out, but we are not at the bottom. And getting a little closer to the top every day.

Including getting back on the dirt bike, and turning the project Suzuki Savage into a cafe racer. Would love to start on the van, but we still owe on it, and I haven't really learned its personality yet.

Would love to see a perfornace panel truck type build.

From the frozen northeast of the US, thank you.

Just when I was about to sell my lockdown project ED9 CRX build with its D16Z8 (which came with a complete B16A1 VTEC motor and LSD gearbox on a pallet) .. you boys have potentially inspired me to maybe give it another go later in the year.... now just need to summon those Honda friends hahaha. Keep it up guys.
