Making A Slow Car Fast for $500 (Season Finale)

In this feature length finale episode, the MCM boys get to work on making a slow car as fast as they can for as cheap as possible.

We don't do Patreon or crowd funding, but you can support the show by grabbing something from our online store - we ship worldwide and pack the products and send them from Sydney, Australia.

Also something to note around Mighty Car Mods: we are normal guys and are not trained mechanics. We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.

Keeping with MCM tradition, our last episode of the year is out on Christmas Day. 

While Christmas is a day of celebration for a lot people, for many others it can be a difficult, lonely time particularly for those with broken families, severe financial stress, those dealing with the bush fire crisis or families dealing with the loss of a loved one. 

While we can’t fully understand what each person is going through, we want to acknowledge that for many people it won’t be the kind of Christmas we see on TV. 

Don’t worry about YouTube videos of people getting new super cars and houses or $1M for Christmas. This stuff is not reality and certainly not a basis to compare your own situation. The best gift you can give anyone is your attention - keep it simple and don’t give yourself a hard time if your Christmas Day doesn’t look like the ads on TV (nobodies Christmas Day actually looks like that) 

Huge respect to all of the emergency services personnel and volunteers that are battling bush fires around the country. And for those that need some extra help, please check out the ReachOut website where there is free support for those in need. 

All the best for the end of 2019 and we hope you enjoy the episode.

5:45 "Can you believe that someone may have sold us a car without telling us all the finer details about its history?"
LOL the sarcasm is real

MCM: we put an average engine in a shopping trolley

[MindBlowerWTF]

I love how this will cause plenty of Yaris owners deciding to do it up, remove the engine, put the new one in and keep it on jackstands for a year or two calling it the project car.

“If it doesn’t fit, we’ll put it all in the bin and buy a wrx”

“Can we buy a wrx anyway?”

Gold.

[ryancurran]

“Imagine buying a used car and the owner not telling you all the fine details of its history”
This describes every private party sale to anyone under 30

[haziqalias]

These guys are the exact combination of serious and funny that I like.

"We can edit in a shot that has nothing to do with the build, but it looks cool."

You guys are awesome ✌🏻👍🏻

[consaka]

I'm actually impressed with you guys. I remember the very first or one of the first videos you made and you were like so clueless in the actual skills dept. Now you are actually getting dirty and doing real stuff with serious projects. ;) Keep this up and you'll be making the motor trend guys look like amateurs. :)

“What do we do tonight Marty?”
“Same thing we do every night Moog, try to polish a turd”
This was a great episode. Cheers guys.
Merry Christmas.

My wife has a yaris and I show her any video you do that mentions the yaris! I will not be showing her this video however and might have to tell her she has a check engine light i should fix over the weekend.

Engine swapping a Yaris, can't say I've done it im less than a weekend, first day removal alone. Did it last week with my wife, and our daughter and son in law's Yaris. Her first swap, my, who knows, but also a first as well.

First one I've done on a 4 wheeled vehicle since my above knee amputation, in July of 2021. First on my prosthetic, and in a wheelchair.

I'll try to beat y'alls time next time around. We all need goals, and the wife's Yaris also needs a swap, trans and engine, and we've been talking about upgrading the driveline. This video was the first result, and it's perfect.

And no, it wasn't my first swap since losing the leg. Swapped a few bikes, 2 lawnmowers, and a scooter, as wel as finisjing our Cummins swapped K 2500. I found myself on tuis path, and don't intend to walk it.

I intend to Run it. Because some see it as impossible, and give up, say they could never face it, and make it. I want them to see what I did, when a friend lost his. To be that person boarding on metal and meat. That wheelchair person that hangs out at the skate park, not to watch, but to conquer the place. The AKA, that is tearing it up on their bike on the track or trails.

Only so that others can see that an amputation is not the end, but a new beginning.
