If you guys don't have the seats from a GTI there's a set for sale on the VW UP GTI UK owners club
Watching you eat that chocolate ice cream while the title two guys 1 up rolls around in my head is exciting.
MCM going to the 5th dimension! Up, up, and away!!! ❤
Please please please.. paint the up mousou black and white highlights.
Really hope you guys go back to actually picking good cars.
This is one to miss for me, off to watch something else, like paint drying.
"2 guys 1 up!" Is genius
i was dying laughing at that bit
Me to, had t watch is multiple times 😂
Made me want to watch family guy. ‘Coo hwip’
They took it too far eating soft serve in the intro..
@@JarrodBush-Creator 💀
I love the fact after all these years, you two still act like kids and have a blast even for the internet too see 😂
some of the best bits are "wasting the internet" haha
And weirdly enough they are one of the most mature people on entire internet and still act like that
Wonder how many people wouldn’t even know the 2 guys 1 up reference?
Internet history right here!
Well done guys 😂
Back to the driveway! When mum was telling them to move this shit so she park her car! Sorry mum and many kebabs later….
Honestly I kinda still feeling the same as I did as I was younger when wrenching on cars. Instantly become 10 years younger myself
I absolutely adore the friendship these two have, even after all these years they're still just a couple bros who don't mind straddling each other to pour ice cream in their mouths
Martin has perfected the 'I look like I'm not listening but I'm actually 100% invested in this conversation' behavior
This was a lot more “2 Guys, 1 Up” than I expected.
Needs a LOT more 2girls1cup content, to be honest.
Yeah, never needed to be reminded of that, ever.
@@ChristopherHallett🤢🤮
u ruined it@@ChristopherHallett
🍦
So many people won't get the intro, bloody brilliant. You guys are legends
only the true braves
That was really hard to watch ngl lol
I knew the "2 girls" reference, but reading this just made me understand the ice cream gag 🤣 I had repressed seeing that vid from my memory lol it was my introduction to the internet years ago lol
i regretfully get it
All the people searching because of this comment...thumbs up
That 4 something minute intro is why the internet loves these fellas. Behave like Muppets because it's fun, like great mates would 💜
Like many said in the previous video comments, the wrecker/seller you got the car from took such great care with all of the pieces. Very impressive.
I laughed so hard about the first 3 minutes of the video. Absolutely genius! I love these fun things, please always keep those in!
2 guys and 1 cup. Not how I expected my weekend to start...!
You should testdrive W453 smart with that 0.9 turbo engine and stick. Take out the engine cover from trunk, you'll love it for sure. Little nugget that makes all the right noises and is amazing fun to drive.
Absolutely love this channel. The cars, the banter. Just brilliant. "2 guys, 1 up" legendary
actually in argentina and brazil they sell the UP pepper, wich is a low cost up gti with a 5 speed gearbox and no esp. They build then up to 180hp easily. On a small car it's quite a sleeper. From low down they're faster than any golf gti
I've driven a stock GTI and a tuned, 90hp up that made around 110 and I have to say the 6-speed of the GTI made the car 10x better. The gears on the stock 5-speed are so incredibly long that it really bogs down the car. Great for fuel economy I guess, but the shorter gears in the GTI are a godsend for the agility of the car.
@@n3er0olong gears just need a bigger turbo. 😂
@@CotyD lmao
@@CotyDtorque converter
@@AlienLivesMattergo change the torque converter in a manual transmission
Hey moog!
Going from pre facelift to post facelift requires complete wiring harness in the interior aswell as the bay.
You will also need new the facelift dash to fit the facelift radio. Both fitment AND cabus communication speed is different.
All in all you'll need a complete harness AND almost all modules swapped over for this to work as a complete car
Or a haltech and a good wiring guy?
@@barrydawson11 accessories will be working separately from the haltech though
Thanks mate. Yes we’ve worked a few things out, and some on going. Stay tuned…
Yay, cant wait!!!
This little nugget needs a green roof with white spots and small 1-up decals in an 8 bit style on the door.
A McFlurry for breaky, good shot Martin, Moog was laughing so hard like myself he just blew it. 🤣 Love your style guys. Go the Up!!!!!
Great series. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the final reveal.
I have a suspected fractured rib and did not appreciate the true belly laugh induced by your soft serve delight 🤣
That thumbnail is gold, love it
One of the best starts to your videos I have seen to date. Keep UP the great work Boyz.
10:14 "Sometimes there's a simple small tool and you think when would I ever need that" "Oh I usually wee out of it" 😂
I've been driving my UP! for 10 years. I freaking love it. Perfect for city areas.
Same here. 10 years, zero issues. It's a great little car.
I really wish we got the VW UP here in the US. After watching this, I REALLY want one.
Til you get one…and then you’re like…
Yeah this isn’t as useful, cool or fast like I thought it would be..
Guys you realize how impressive it is that you, as youtubers, still work on nuggets after all these years. So nice to see you haven't ever forgotten your rots, even when working on extreme or exotic projects, you still build awesome nuggets. I BTW 100% agree! Been working on extreme projects too, but my favorite project ever was still a old Hyundai Scoupe 1,5T, final form was estimated to merely 228bhp
I used to have a new 300+hp car, all I could think of was my 28hp Morris...
Thank you for that intro, going through another transition, thought I already had big transitions, but I was very wrong, if anything I know there are more to come, and it's just the part of growing
Your guys energy is just pure amazeballs
The UP was really popular here in Brazil, however it got discontinued and used ones are going for around 12/15.000 dollars. The problem is that the minimum wage is around 250 dollars
This whole video is awesome, I love it.
Can't wait for part 2!
❤❤❤
From the title to the titular scene, this is why we come here. You 2 are brilliant. Keep making the great videos, and making the great music. Thanks for the endless hours of entertainment and knowledge.
The number plate should be...YOURS
Let's gooooo, we have the gti over here and can't wait for you guys to have one, they're brilliant
Thanks for being there dudes, i follow you from teenagers to adulthood and grew old with you too, really glad to be part of the journey
Haven’t watched you guys for a while but it’s good to be back for this build series, very cool build!!
Big UPs to MCM for another Awesome episode.
I've driven a non turbo one of these and absolutely loved it, always been curious to drive a turbo one. Hope you enjoy it as much you have liked it stock
Very cool, can't wait to see the finished product, keep it up guys!!! 😁👍
Finally, love it! (Also i love how this channel is as much about friendship as it is about cars. Whole world needs alot more of that!)
US and UK car guys convert between imperial and metric in our heads 100 times a day. The rest of the world is bewildered by imperial 🤣
only UK car people still using imperial are usually about 9000 years old
@@IdiotRace lol no they measure their gas in gallons and speed in MPH and distance in miles and know an inch is 25.4mm
Nice to see that the "chocolate ice cream" is going into he right hole in this reboot of the famous video! 😂
Can't wait for the next episode on this UP GTI project , big support from South Africa boys💪🏼
So good to see you continue to UPskill yourselves.
Yes boys, we love this kind of build you pair of funny legends 😂
When Moog is this excited about a build, you know its going to be epic.
Loving this project.
Also initial background music felt like a nod to Croc Dundee. Nice.
although I'm into me modding cars, one of the best things about MCM is the chemistry between Marty and Moog, 2 genuine friends doing what they love. ❤
Love your enthusiasm for the Up! GTI. In the UK, I have a fast Audi SUV (SQ2) 300 BHP and my wife has a stock 2022 Up! GTI - one of the last before they stopped selling them here - I find myself constantly stealing her car as it’s so much more fun to drive than mine - puts a huge smile on my face every time I get in the driving seat. I can’t see us ever selling the UP! - definitely a future classic.
This video got a smile UP on my face. I was UP with excitement.
Can't wait till the next video is put up on the interweb.
I love the friendship these two have, holy they are such good people
Them face shots were EPIC! 🤪
This is what we come for. Mighty Car Mods is epic.
You guys are awesome. Don't ever change.
For all the highs and lows I’m sure you guys have shared seeing your friendship is very special ❤
I love the up! Just not the back glass lol. Wish we could get them here in the US. (I have a heavily modified S3 and and R8, but still love the UP! lol). The ABS pump is not "to keep you in the VW family".. When abs triggers it no doubt also impacts throttle, ignition timing etc.. I'm sure those things need to talk to each other. I was hoping you would drop in a VR5T... THAT would have been something!
Good to see you found the exhaust hanger remover tool!
Great job. This project is exciting!
So sick, been waiting for this video for agesss!
Man I love these videos. Been watching for years. I also love my new GTI mk8. Thx MCM!!!
I've just started watching and I just know this ones gonna be a banger.
Thats the funniest start to an episode I have seen for a long time!!
Y'all are awesome, I love this channel!!
Thank you so much for doing this build, it's really exiting and interesting to see. The UP is such a great car. I bought it as my first car and still drive it 6 years later. It is reliable, comfortable, good on gas, you can fit more stuff than you might think and it's honestly just fun to drive.
I worked on the assembly line where these car were made back between 2012 - 2016 😊 I look forward to see this series
The UP is a great car, they’re surprisingly fun to drive, been obsessed with the UP! Gti since they first came out
You guys are a pair of the strangest guys on the interballs.
Love it, every minute for the last decade and a bit.
That was freaking hilarious!! You 3(camera person) are awesome!!
I love it how you are working an an ordinary car! And I've got one! In white it's a High Up from 2012. I think they are such great little cars. Really looking forward to watching the rest of this project!
I owned a 2013 VW Up here in South Africa and to this day was the most fun I ever had in a car! It holds a special place in my heart and I miss it till this day!
Great work guys, keen to see this thing dosing up the streets of Sydney
Love the Vw up, good luck you guys
Nice to see that your all on the up.
These videos right here are the exact reasons why car mods remain for me the top of the car guy youtubers totally relatable content consistently class 👏 👌
I love that you guys used that intro 😊
Great episode. Clean, fun, great project car.
This is the only video I’ve been waiting for as a VW up! owner in Straya
The eating intros mixed with the superb editing give off a vibe of familiarity. I can't explain it any way other than when you're hanging with your mates and I love it.
I know they work hard to give off that vibe and I agree it's fantastic. We'll worth the effort guys and editors and friends
These guys are always such a pleasant detox from all the other car CZcamsr noise. Been subscribed for just over 10 years with a couple different accounts.
Yesterday I did a 266 mile trip in my Up! Very comfortable and only used half a tank of fuel... Seriously good cars
The first 3 minutes is the quality MCM content I subscribed for 🤣
You guys seems to be having so much fun lately, fuck yeah!
I love seeing 2 guys soft serve themselves
The MK1 Golf was a small car that weighed nothing. They went very well indeed when additional power was applied. This should go even better.
Big Up guys,great project,U are right,those are lovely cars.
I'm from Europe, and I work on weekends as pizza delivery, our pizzeria uses VW up's, I've been driving them for 4 years, they are the greatest little cars
I get excited everytime I see and Up GTI in the UK, they're pretty rare here as well. Such cool little cars.
The builds just keep getting bigger and better
Small cars are SO much fun! As someone learning about maintaining and modifying cars with my Fiat 500 Twinair, as well as this channel of course, this video makes me SO happy and it's so good that you guys appreciate small cars too! I had been looking at the Up!, but went with the 500 because of the turbo and the teeny 0.9L, 2 cyl engine - mechanically it just seemed more "interesting" to me. It is so much fun to drive and work on, and it's great to see you guys sharing that joy in this video. It will be so cool to see a GTI Up! in Australia 😁
Keep an eye on the loom in the boot hatch, it gets pinched if the boot is slammed. Also, the door handles sometimes break off but can be repaired pretty easily. My girlfriend's one has done 115k miles + and won't die and still gets good mpg. Ideal city car really.
Love this mod , even though I will never get to do this, just like the concept of what your doing 👍😊
I had one as a hire car in Greece. Sounded great!
Great work already!
Thanks for the chuckles {bullseye, perfect}.
Great episode, again!
That intro and things like it are why you guys are the GOAT, such a big name but still play it real
Fell of my chair watching the intro, bits of icecream falling on you both, hilarious!
When you pulled the intake filter I couldn't help noticing it looked suspiciously like a K&N replacement filter.
I have never seen Moog laugh that hard. Pure joy.
I absolutely love this build. I do wish the gti polo or up! were available here in the states…. Keep up the genius boys!
just when i think, after all these years, its out of my head......... you guys bring back the nightmares!.
8:38 The music is what sets you guys apart & why you'll always be the GOAT of youtube car content for me.
Do you happen to know the name of the song? Its absolutely amazing
Wow
I can’t wait to see what you find with the harness
opening bit was hilarious! absolutely love seeing the goofiness 🤣😂
That was peak intro. Absolutel classic.
