Ummm guys, what's the deal with the trash wobbly camerawork ?? 🤮
Jason Bourne fight scene camerawork went out of fashion 15yrs ago 🫤
I have a silver one of these you can have for free
You guys need "look mum no computer" to help you out :)
just a heads up but you may already know the little ps2 badge on the disk drive spins so its the right way on its side and stood up, give it a try i didnt know for 15 years 😂😂
Hi guys, i was one of the original builders of the fto, i was one who did the original iteration of the boot build what had sony subs, and was one done over 22 years ago
Aaaand up you go! We need to hear more of your stories! Hows Tina btw?! 😂
Don't read my name
How is tina doing?
I would never have admitted to that
@@samholdsworth420 it was a good job in the boot
Rip those DVDs and upload to Internet Archive. We can't let such a slice of early 00s car culture get lost into history.
The people need to know…. What did Tina do to the fto?
I don’t know - they censored it to avoid any potential demonetisation and shocking everyone
@@thebr0wnhornet The car most definitely recieved more action than me.
@@thebr0wnhornet She F'd the TO out of it
Honestly would be an awesome thing
Edwin: "These are the largest flames I've ever seen."
The TDC porsche 996: *my past is worse*
Don't read my name
Should have asked Taylor, he’s seen even bigger flames coming out his neighbors unit
My dad Richard built this car! And I LOVED it I got taken to the primary school disco in this bad boii and all the kids were jealous when I got out and the doors went up! Most popular I’ve ever been tbh 😂 this video made me so happy to see it again!
by any chance do you know who tina is
To the top… got to get a feature on the next video! 😂
@@bearwynn I was only like 7 so I’m gonna say thank fully no! but I do remember women in very short shorts 😅 all the FUEL women. Although this is probably the moment I ask my dad and he says yeah remember Tina she was (fill in blank) and it will haunt me 🤣
@@scottporter2513 me and my dad are having a laugh bringing up the memories of this car and it’s TWO siblings 👀
@@AshleaJasmine Two?! That’s a whole other video! Love it. So many memories from that era. 😊
You selling the dvds? ……… asking for a friend
Also would be interested in dvd…….. also for a friend
We must all have the same mutual friend then because I’m interested too
I'd have them too. Asking for myself. Really curious what was going on there.
/same for a friend of course
There's a seller on the bay of e who has a heap for sale for a fiver.
You'll need to double check the serial number, but that might be a Automobile Snow White color PS2 SCPH-30000, which are like a grand. There were a limited number of PS2 consoles painted with automotive paint and that looks like it may be one of them
Nah , its normal silver one , I have the same one , mine is SCPH-50004
That would be too good to be true, I would also say it's just a normal silver one
It's still rare to see a silver
The white ones are from japan and only play and read discs from regions of Japan
'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast' is a 90's Red Dwarf quote! & why not have it on your FTSlow! 😂
Ace Rimmer! What a guy!
What a guy
What a guy!
What a guy!
Why not? you ask. Because it was never really funny and hasn't aged well.
6:35 That small red button, the car shutting off, and the "eeeeeeeeeeeee" noise make me belive that button is for the flame kit. A lot of modern day flame kits just shut off the power to the engines coilpacks, and route it to the coil for the spark plug in the exhaust. If you want, try revving the car, and holding WOT, and pressing the button. If everything works, the injectors should still pulse fuel into the cylinders, the spark plug in the engine wont do anything, and the raw fuel+air will get ignited as it exits the exhaust.
Exactly as stated, had a “dragons breathe” flamer kit on my GSi back in the early 00’s and the button kills the coils for the engine and starts the coil for the exhaust. Rev the engine up, press and hold the button whilst keeping WOT and then release the button before the engine stalls 👍🏻
A good idea would be to sell those DVDs on the TDC shop
And use most of the profit to pay for the partial restoration
Signed by Tina and the crew.
Don't read my name
@@beesleyben put a wig on Will and call her Tina from now on lol
If the DVDs are age restricted they'll need a licence.
lucky it wasn't a manual.. i'd hate to know where that gear stick's been 🤣
Oh I missed that auto bit.. But yeah Tina riding the gear stick like galloping on horse... Sticky Tina lol
Today's young drivers have NO idea how cool the early 2000s modding scene was!
To be fair, as lads who grew up watching Fast and Furious and Pimp My Ride. we knew about it, saw a few modified cars out and about, but on the whole the general consensus between me and my mates was that they were all a bit naff.
I don’t any of the Max Power era cars have aged very well at all.
One of my favourite weekend activities as a 15 year old was hanging around bus stops in town with a Bacardi Breezer watching the endless laps the local modified cars used to do. Novas, Fiestas, Saxos, Astra GTEs... Never understood why my mates wanted to chase girls instead. Weirdos.
@@LongLiveHelghastI didn't like the max power era at all either. Good riddance.
It sure beats all the pops-and-bangs Fiesta ST "builds" you see on the roads now
@LongLiveHelghast you're not wrong they haven't aged well at all but it was very fun at the time...
The Max Power era was something to behold.
Also that DVD must have been terrible, shocking, depraved stuff...are you planning on selling those copies?
That car stinks like 2002 Pimp my Ride era
I love it
Don't read my name
too bad a lot of the show was faked
i used to love xhibit back then
probably stinks of a lot more given the dvd's
@@thetinman-1it wasn’t “faked”, they just didn’t actually repair the cars lol
You guys should give away a DVD with each shirt purchase, some type of special edition shirt with FTO graphics. Would be a really cool gag type gift.
Not sure you can give away DVD's like that to random people 😆
What t shirt do I need to buy to get a copy of the dvd thrown in? For the modified cars, of course.
Boys I think this is your cue to make a TDC patreon with extended cuts! Cannot get enough of the content and so glad you lads are running your own ship now. RIP CarThrottle
*cue
@@elemar5edited, thank you
The pink fto hasn't had tax or MOT since end of 2009
And it hasnt had a new owner since 2007
RIP
Don't read my name
its long gone then 😢
Not necessarily... the Max Power 106 I rebuilt in 2021 hadn't had an MOT since 2005, so it didn't show up on the online database 😅
I could tell you so many stories about that car including how to work the flamer kit. I know because I built it
Scrolled through so many comments to find you dad 😂
@@AshleaJasmine yeah the comments have been many and funny! Bet they’re all jealous because I was there when that video was made 😅
@@thecre8ors 🙉🙉 La La La La La hahaha
@@AshleaJasmine Bahahahahaha. Dad better pay for therapy if this DVD gets out.
Could you tell us who Tina is?? Asking for a friend
The DVD segment was hilarious
Don't read my name
The throwback to 16 year old me playing NFS2 for hours on end and thinking the corsa with one of those limited edition automotive PS2’s in the glovebox owned by my pal’s big brother was achingly cool is strong. So strong.
This needs to be fully restored to its 2000s glory
Put a decent engine in it. I don't understand how the current nos will affect the stock block?!
@@geoffwatches 🤦🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The dvd section... "Then things changed when tina appeared" ... Queue youtube ad featuring Tina Fey.
Oh the timing. 😂😂😂😂
I love that you guys are giving the Max Power era the attention it deserves. Just as important a period in car modding as any other, some of these builds were MENTAL.
Thanks lads!
I remember this car back in the mid 2000s, I owned an FTO myself and remember most people in the owners club absolutely hated this thing, hats off to the original owner for trying something different, must have cost an absolute fortune back then as modifying them was either figure it out yourself using parts for other cars or import parts from Japan and incur huge shipping costs
"Smoke me a kipper......" is a quote from RED DWARF (BBC TV show) circa 1993
Ace Rimmers old car. Was waiting for a Red Dwarf comment......
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas
Bit sad they didn’t recognise it. I’d say it makes me feel old, but I’m the same age as these guys on average…
@@ryandavies3070it makes me feel old, because I was a teenager when that came out and I'm definitely older than Will and Edwin.
those NOS bottles cost 600 USD alone, this is such a legendary RICE machine, i love it
18:22 the subtlety of this bit is just hilarious 😂
I’m dumb, whats the joke?
@@valen961 There's a sticker of the Car Throttle logo on Edwin's PS2, after the cut its replaced with a TDC sticker
I’m a little older than you two but am still of the Max Power generation. For me this is the best car you have bought yet, please get it back to its former glory. 👍
Max power, nuts magazine and channel 5 after midnight. I miss the 2000s. Love the channel TDC ❤️
Shooting stars, bottom, euro trash. The times we had. I don't think I ever bought Max Power...but I did buy Fast Car and Revs. Revs was my favourite.
It's cool what you can do with addressable LEDs today but there is something about the neon glow you just can't beat.
"Smoke me a kipper ill be back for breakfast" is a quote from Red Dwarf
What a guy.
@@Falney we're lucky to be alive.
Smeg heads......
Smeg heads or as Kryton once tried to say "Smeeeg-heead" @@Craig-wp3pz
“Whatever that quote is.”
What a Smooo Heeeee!
Oh my god, this car is a relic of the mid 2000's, it's glorious. You guys should 100% restore it as at least a show car...and rip that DVD to internet archive!
My mum and stepdad used to have a red FTO when I was younger. It was the V6 with Mivec and it went pretty well at the time. 197bhp wasn't bad back then. Always had a soft spot for them.
10:56 - Loving the Red Dwarf sticker at the back next the exhaust flames. Admiral Ace Rimmer would be proud.
Good video - Keep up the good work, full respect from the North East
I love TINA!!! Tina to get it on with the FTO Reunion and you'll get to 10 million subscribers!!!
My silver PS2 still gets used to this day - bought new in 2003, amazing bit of kit! Remember this car from back in the day 😎
2:38 smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast Is a red dwarf reference! Pffft are you even British boys? ☺️
The boot reveal, I was just expecting to see tina's lifeless corpse.
Bring back this era of the UK car scene!
The best part for me was the last 15 seconds of the video.
I've worked on and build a fair share of ICE and Hi-Fi systems in the past. So it was really satisfying to see the screens in working order.
Looking forvard to more content with your FTO
Oh my god. Lee Martins Saxo!! That brings back HUGE memories!!!
That car is simply iconic and like you said for guys our age (I’m 39) max power is THE car generation!!
Cannot wait to see more of this!!
I remember so many Max Power magazines and even a "how to" book for modifying your car back when I was a wee lad 🤣 I used to think that having massive exhausts (or multiple of them) was the coolest thing ever.
I’ve still got that book Haynes Modified🙈 got the Fiesta one aswell 👌🏻🤣
You gotta sell those DVDs as merch.
I love how Rory came running when it got "much worse"
After mentioning wanting to see max power cars to you at shedfest I'm so happy to see you've done it! Great job.
Australia had a similar car scene, but it was based around performance Holdens and Fords, and JDM imports. Magazines like Street Commodores, Fast Fours, Hot 4s, Zoom, and the most famous one, Street Machine. It was a real scene that has diminished, but not completly faded from the culture.
Asking for a friend, where can I obtain a digital copy of that DVD you were ewing and ahing over? Again, for a friend
18:34 juiced 2 was very good, I remember a specific achievement that was very difficult, something like 5 million points or other absurd amount of uninterrupted drift points that you needed to do.
I remember the day I got it, I couldn't even celebrate it out loud because it was very late and I was playing in secret, with the TV on mute hahaha
18:33 JUICED MENTIONED!!!!
Now this is what the people want to see! Super fun stuff lads. You have to sell those DVDs as merch, hahaha.
My high school English teacher imported one of these and drove it to school every day and I thought she was the coolest woman in the world for that. Gran Turismo 2 Taeivon Trampio feelings.
I used to have a flame kit back in the 2000’s and as far as I remember it didn’t have external gas or anything like that, you just cut the power from engine coils and instead turn on the exhaust coil, the air-fuel mixture was ignited on the exhaust and kaboom you had flames
Which would explain why it didn't start when the control box was unplugged.
Riders on the storm. :D
This will be a killer on the road🤣
“Smoke me a kipper…..” I heard that quote on Red Dwarf (favorite British comedy)
Best .. Car.. Ever.. straight out of underground 2. Just love the 2000s vibes that it gives off
Drove past you guys yesterday near Stonehenge. Saw vents on a blue zafira and just knew. Then followed the little red Honda
9:40 Tom is an absolute LAD :D
That "max power erra" was fun. It was at the same timeof excess in everyting. Same time as the paintball speedwars. And all the other over the top 90s//early 00s stuff....
I know it's a long shot, but you should do a proper Juiced tribute to this car (yes, I said juiced because this car was actually in the game, ulike nfs or midnight club).
What I mean by tribute. A proper tuneup (a cheap ebay turbo or SC), nos, the works. You already got the Nos, and the "proper" cosmetic modifications in place.
I Had a 1995 FTO GPX "back in the day". Engine was awesome (unless you needed to change the back 3 plugs) but the auto box was *awful*. Handled well though. And sounded great.
"But that all quickly changed with the arrival of Tina" - up pops the advert with Tina Fey in it.
Not the Tina I was expecting 😂
This guy took "Pimp my Ride" to a whole new level!
Ah Max Power S3X Spec! Mighty Car mods did some good content on buying these. You need two and a series of challenges.
These a such a fun little car when they're not rusted through and full of electronics and wiring they don't need (at least, not for the show business). It's sad that I knew the engine was untouched just from the startup xD. This is such a childhood hit from the early 2000s, and games like Juiced (The OG one anyway) really helped with keeping these things cool. I own one now a GPX COTY, it's mint. Very cool to see this one
I rarely see any Mitsubishi cars on UK roads anymore!
♦️
Sell the DvD's at 2.50 a pop and you got yourself a free showcar :P
soooo where can i buy that DVD ? Asking for me... i mean a friend :)
Honestly i genuinely think you owe it to that era and everything it brought us to restore that fto to its full show spec glory and keep it forever!
Also, that max power dvd needs to be on the internet, im pretty sure i don't want to see whats happening but at the same time i kind of have to know 😂
love the hidden bottle in the top left xD 12:18
The PS2 with the car throttle sticker on and then the next shot it’s gone 😭😭
I love where this channel is going. Mightycarmods but less commercial. Keep it up ❤
Ya they didn't shove a nine grand haltech ECU into a car bought on marketplace.
If anything, I would at least send it out to get polished/cleaned up as best as it can. For the most part the interior doesn’t seem to be too terrible either, but the whole car needs to be disinfected. As a precaution.
Color-matching would be infeasible in so many different ways, but maybe new door handles?
Good damn this car reminds me so much of need for speed underground 2, especially the trunk. I absolutely love it :D
i remember this car attending cruise west cumbria meets about 15 or so years ago , cool to see its still around despite the looks of it these days 🤣
Love the Red Dwarf Reference
I'm just a bit younger than you guys and the only thing I know these kinds of cars from are the old f&f movies. I'm so sad I missed out on those days, so it's awesome to see you get exited about it
Can we buy these dvds? Asking for a mate
This is so sick. Love the old modified cars 💯 Hopefully I’ll be buying cars like this on my channel soon 🙌
Dvd giveaway maybe???
Weirdly this is probably the most excited I've been for any of the cars you boys have worked on to date! It is just so ridiculous! And Cool!
where can we buy a copy of the DVD ?
I’ve owned over 50 cars and the FTO was by far my favourite. Mine was a limited edition and mapped. V6 Mivec was a beast (until it blew up). 😂
Welcome to We Buy Any Car
Arnold J Rimmer (Red Dwarf) - "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast" - Before going off for a dangerous mission... 😏👌
😎🇬🇧
Get it running and nurburghring it
The final resting place of my second FTO. Engine was toast after 12 laps.
With Tina as passenger 😂
I would guess the box in the kick panel that the green wire was going to was the immobiliser and one of the keyfob buttons triggers the flames.
I genuinely want one of those DVDs for a collection could I have one please????😍
06:14 you ain't goin anywhere near a German street with that car. TÜV definitely says no 😂😂
Nice to see TDC upload again
Im not GenZ - please send me this DVD - MaxPower era was my jam 😅😂😂
Owned two FTOs in the past. Went through two engines in one of them. You poor sods.
That red dwarf quote, chefs kiss.
I need to see that DVD!
11:00 threw me back to when I was playing NFSU2 and I was tuning the car, i remember this boot setup like being one of the options in the game
The red dwarf quote on the back 😂😂😂
0:02 Looks like an FTO.
I haven’t seen one in the wild for at least 10 years.
I have looked at them at auctions but the inside driving position is too cramped for me as a 6 footer. The old Nissan 300Z was similar in that regard.
The three channels should do pimp my ride but in a pimp my ride style.
Love the car, I wish so much I could go back to the early 2000's before social media and CZcams, I miss those days.
this is a 90's childhood boys dream car
one of my favorite early cars in Gran Turismo :D
