You'll need to see if there is a custom firmware for the headunit for English and to tune Australian stations for radio and tv.
Otherwise upgrade the headunit for one of those android "Tesla units" that are automated and can turn horizontal and vertical..
We need a "presidential escape" video.. pronto pronto!!!
Good luck to all the aussies
@@garystinten9339No firmware updates, Majesta owners replace the whole unit.
That's an awesome giveaway, a well deserved trip🤗 Goodluck to all👏
Oh no, you guys are only going to rile up the "Crowns are just VIP Camrys" crowd 😂
Jimmies will be rustled!
VIP corollas get it right
Well they are both practical spacious sedans…(Yes I know 1JZ Crown Wagons exist).
That's just facts
But then again almost every Toyota is a crown (joke stolen from throttle house)
I can't believe this whole time Marty and Old Mate Martin have been two separate people!
My mind is blown.
its his dad dude, peas from the same pod right :D
I love how after all this time you guys still dork around and try new video ideas - this was really fun to watch dudes, thank you!
As a crown owner, my 05 crown athlete starter motor died 6 months after getting it so I'm not surprised.
And also thankyou for just sky-rocketing the price of my car. Much appreciated 👏
The Cinematography for this is perfection, love when the boys do these style of videos.
Edit: Marty should have a sitcom based on this character
Can we have Moog as his best friend?? Or frenemy??
spoiler: that's not acting, that's just Marty being his natural self
Gotta love the fisheye lens up the nose shot.
yeah old man marty is just epic!
Gramps Marty FTW!
There goes the price of Crowns, STRAIGHT TO THE MOON.
we had such a well kept secret going for so long. now everyones going to know they werent chopped by a Camry :(
No one is paying more than 4k now... cheers for that aahahaha
already have in japan
As long as they keep their hands off the Aristo I’ll be ok, I’ve been putting cash aside for one, just praying they don’t ruin it too soon!
Was just about to get one too..
The fact that Marty looks like a senior without any need for make up and stuff but just with slightly different clothes and just a little bit of changes in the way he moves and acts is hilarious
The hand tremors! Hilarious!
The cheapest Crown Majesta on carsales RN is $17000, so it's literally cheaper to fly overseas and buy a gold Crown for under $3.5k and deal with the shipping costs 😂😅 Big brain information right there 😁 Awesome video 😊
Man, thank goodness for the US 25 year Import Ban to protect us from cars like this. For USD $2500, I'm so happy I can buy *checks Marketplace*....a 4 cylinder FWD Nissan Maxima that's had 12 owners and a salvage title from the factory.
I could be wrong, but I think we can buy them here in Aus because they weren't actually sold here. AFAIK if I wanted to buy say a WRX cheap from Japan, I wouldn't be able to, because of that 25 year rule, even though we don't manufacture cars here any more.
@@Pablo668 No no you can buy a WRX import in Aust now. One just appeared last week in NSW from Japan. The Hatchback STi wide body version.
Crowns are actually like 20,000
salvage title from the factory>recall notice after reg with factory. free airbag woot
they wouldn't let me keep the old one. But yes, they love taking back their oops.
I brought my car, a 2001 Rover 25 3 door for £185 lol
Frankly I'd be shocked if a car that cheap DIDN'T have a broken part or two.
the trick is that keeping it on road in japan would be more expensive than it would be worth(partially due to it being a big engined luxury car thats also big), hence it's value as a road car goes to basically 0 in japan so it's scrap or export and there's very few places to export it to that don't have huge taxes and want right wheel drive cars.
australia is pretty much the only one? maybe uk? for thailand it would cost tens of thousands to import it.
Mine ended up at about 21.5k after import, on roads, and transportation to my house, plus stereo upgrade, and only broken part is a part I broke doing the stereo
As someone who has owned several JZS155 Crowns here in the US, I approve. Pity we can't have that car until it's 25 years old.
For all of us that went straight to the interballs to see the price of what's for sale, ie all over 20k, please do a video on the process from finding to importing to registering with on road costs. I WANT ONE!
Ditto
That ending was a little too whistlindiesel for my liking, but Old Mate Mr Martin absolutely deserves his own spin-off series.
It was a joke, also it wasnt the actual camry. They did jokes like this before WD was even relevant.
@@untouchedforce6388 you sure? Looks waaaaay too similar with the front bumper scratch and window protectors...
@@AndreiKucharavy look closely at the underneath its got stock exhaust on it no turbo attached
Awfully harsh treatment of the old Camry at the end! RIP turbo Camry😵
I'm pissed off he should have just sold the damn thing. to me he looks like his alll that kinda guy meh it's rubbish I want something better
To me the video looks AI generated
@@aidanstevens137 it's unregistered now, and was never engineered for the turbo swap, so it's days were numbered.
I don't think it's the turbo Camry, it doesn't have an intercooler and the engine that got ripped out doesn't have a turbo attached to it, either they took does mods of or it's a different car.
@@joao3704 it’s got the same licence plate, same blacked out headlights, additional cooler in front of the rad, custom exhaust etc
My grandmother had a 1980s Toyota Crown, it was the first car I ever drove. She took me down to the church parking lot when I was about 13 and let me drive around a bit. Was great fun!
I had a Swift ZC31S, and my uncle has the fourth generation Crown Majesta in Australia, also with the 4.6l V8. I love these cars and the coincidence in your videos just makes me happy.
Top Gear gig has gone to Moog's head, expecting Marty to open his door/ chauffeur him around now 😂
The cinematography got a +10 on this intro sequence, BRAVO!
You guys always make my boring office job so much more enjoyable. Truly feel like I know you, without ever having met. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for such a great video guys. The amount of work and effort you've all put into this must be astonishing.
Moog’s organ in the intro is epic!
his organ is epic all the time
I think everyone’s organs are epic
@@kareembaba7498 not to mention nutritious, delicious, and suspicious if found in your freezer.
Moog's what now?
@@lavachemist his Marvellous Organ, like Sir Reginald's!
But While Sir Reginald's Marvellous Organ is..... Marvellous, nobody tickles and pumps their organ on video quite like Moog!
Well, that ending sucked balls, but I know what I’m getting at Starbucks tomorrow morning. I better not poop my pants from caramel poisoning
That's not caramel.
All the go fast parts were out of it in that part. I imagine the transmission didn't last very long with that much power going through it, and the rest of the car is pretty much scrap value anyway. The good bits were probably saved for something else, as they usually do.
I came back 10 hours later just to let you know that I found pleasure in watching your video. Thank you!
I haven't seen anything so homegrown pure and complete simple awsomeness as that intro since the all mighty Goodies. Keep being free!
The irony is that it wouldn't have made a single difference if he had ate that many eclipse mints 😂
They have laxative effect if u eat too many
You've obviously never eaten that amount of eclipse mints before
😓😓😓😓😓
Sorbitol (the sweetener in eclipse mints) when taken in moderate to large doses is known to cause stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.
That ending... actually got sad and teared up watching it get dismantled.
Right? That was a (I assume) running and driving turbo Camry. Maybe not perfectly running, but running. Why not just sell it?
don't worry... some of its parts will be back and better than ever
Missing an intercooler
The edamame is being transplanted from the Camry to the crown 😁😁
@@mightycarmods2sexy?
Might have to pick one up when I drive my RX7 13,750km back from Japan to France
I love being able to see the behind the scenes like that , makes it feel more realistic . Not everything goes smooth in life .
Crown owner here looking at the price of my car suddenly going up with the MCM tax.
Esc, abs, and trac off completely mode:
No nannies mode:
1) put in park
2) performance or sport mode
3) press and hold trac button for however long it takes for the dash to tell you everything is off
There are also cheap 2008 S-Class-es in Europe, that are very tempting. However the main rule for financial stability is "Do not buy a cheap old S-Class".
What a banger of a video from the amazing intro to the behind the scenes at the end. Absolutely loved it thanks guys!!!
damn, watch the prices for this skyrocket now 😭😭😭
Fingers crossed. Mine will be on the market soon 😂
they are still only like 17k-25k here for this later 4.6litre v8...not all have the higher end leather and boss back seats etc though. This probably cost them $10k landed in Aus, so private import is probably still the cheaper option but more work
God I'm glad I bought one of these last month, because it seems every big cartuber is doing videos on them now lol
(I bought the Hybrid, but still. Hard to be sad with 0-100 in 5.4 seconds whilst averaging 6.5L/100km on the freeway.)
Glad I bought mine last year 😂
They’re basically a debadged ls460, which go for around 15-20k. 👀
The best almost 7 minutes of cinema!! I thought the old man was Marty, but there's no way because they were together on Supergarage
someone gets it
I think his name is Ytram
As a 2002 Silvia S15 and 2009 Crown Athlete owner, I appreciate you guys very much 🫶 literally sitting in my Crown right now, on my lunch break, watching this video because my mate sent me a message saying "Bruh, MCM" 😂
Damn glad to see you guys still around as friends 💯💯💯 haven’t watched in years but I’m back
11:19 Benny, Woody and Al screwing their noses 😂
I was genuinely looking at the video thinking it was the end when Moog mentioned there was still a bit left.... Bravo. And bravo too to that intro, very well done *slow clap*
This video is absolutely perfect. Totally amazing start to my week, thanks MCM!
Moog has got his polished Topgear presentation style showcasing all the gadgets. Very smooth!
I noticed that! Haha
Moog travels the world, Marty ages 40 years 😂
I love that after so many years you're still passionate enough to come up with new bits and formats and everything. You love you legends. Never change (for the worse).
You lot have done some epic videos. Think this one takes the cake. Thank you for all theses years of fun!
Marty IS an old man, he just plays a young fella on CZcams ! LoL
We should be using these as police cars in Australia !
Behind the scenes is good.
But that was a CRUEL game pretending to crush the Camry 😮☠️💥😱
No pretending, but it's best bits will live on...
@@mightycarmods ... NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... 🤗 ...
I went back to check if it was the same plate on the Camry and it looks legit. Same plate same car. Strip turbo and haltech out and carry on
@@jeffhackett8580 Easy enough to fake the plate.
Yeah , give the average aussie a chance to ride in the lap of luxury !
I've never modified a car really, but I did a service on a professional coffeemaker like seen in minute 1:20 . I hope that counts now for being in the MCM community
Fun fact:
These majestas also come with rare factory options like night vision, full LCD gauge cluster, adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist and self parking.
I think the main reason majesta owners refer to their cars as crowns is because it is eaiser to explain considering how the average joe wont really know what a crown is let alone a majesta which itself can sound pretentious 😅
This car is incredible, especially for the price. However, I did own a D2 Audi A8 (1999 iirc?) that was pretty amazing itself. The features included on a car that old actually blew my mind. I know you guys primarily do JDM stuff, and that's why I followed you for so long but, it would be sick to see y'all do an episode with the old D2 chassis someday..?
Guys killed a perfectly good Camry!
Gotta love big luxo-barges. I own a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon with an LT1 5.7 liter V8 that only puts out 260 horsepower but makes 330 ft/lbs of torque just barely off idle. Couple that with a limited slip rear differential geared at 2.93 and it's an absolute blast to bomb around in. It's soggy off the line but then starts pulling hard and freight-trains on-ramps. It's 18 feet(5.4 meters) long and weighs 4400lbs(1995kg), with most of it covered in fake wood vinyl down the sides.
We need more skits like that. Loved it. Marty low key can act.
Aristo vertex manual gearbox 2J RWD Toyota, parts everywhere, cheapish, nice interior, reliable, comfortable, fixable. Love the show.
You guys definitely watched Fat Pizza with that intro 😂
Nah, that's Supergramps, the dude they named a build after!
Oh i forgot to say, Some of the crowns have an ottoman package option, you guys ever seen that? The back part of the passenger seat folds out the back of the chair to make a giant long chair for the person in the back. You put your legs through the hole in the passenger chair and can basically sleep. I always thought it looked sketchy if you ever got in a wreck buts its very comfy.
I think Al's Crown had that?
I was hoping for a clip of Marty’s signature “IN THE BIN!” After the motor was yanked out of the camry😆
Top notch as always boys.
Marty the pure genius you are my good son.
When Moog is living it up all over the world, you create your own gems.
I've bought a few 1JZ and 2JZ Crowns, they are really good for the money! The first 2JZ Crown I bought was a 1997 and it was 900$ in perfect condition... it's in Holland now, a friend has it.
That SuperMario scream from Marty at 23:41 killed me xD
loved seeing the end bit, was an awesome change. should defo put odd clips at the end like bloopers for an outro
"oh you need a good thumbnail to get clicks" I DIDNT EVEN GIVE IT TIME TO LOAD THE THUMBNAIL
Thumbnails matter. I would know. No one is watching my videos and, while I can edit, I haven't the foggiest on how to make a good thumbnail.
@@JoelKalich oh I'm acutely aware, until you have built this kind of audience it absolutely matters. I put a little effort in, but I'm not going to mislead anyone either, and I think it helps us grow a more authentic audience
@@redhenracing2 appreciate that. On MCM videos the thumbnail definitely does not matter to me haha. Just subbed. Nice to find a fellow small channel.
I wish I can like this more than once. The request to drive from moog was a good line. Keep it up guys.
So glad you guys are still making videos I look forward to seeing your new videos as soon as possible thanks for the laughs and great cars ( even the nuggets)
All Hail the Crown.Thats a wise buy.Welcome to luxury class.
Legit. This color is a price killer. Bought a use 2017 Ford Fusion Titanium a few years back. Had 19k miles. Bought it for 5000 less than the cheapest black, white or blue version we could find, and those were all in the 65-70k mile range.
The color is the only thing I don't love about it. I actually bought one about a month ago (GWS204 Hybrid, but still fast as), but specifically waited for one in pearl white, because they just look so damn clean (and more modern) in that color.
On holiday, sitting on an overnight bus from Kawaguchiko to Kyoto watching this is what I needed, especially the last parts. Keep up the 1000 lemons!!
Arigato taxi!!! I understood that reference. My favorite of all the MCM feature films.
Gentlemen, this is some of your finest work. I'm always enjoying your stuff but this episode had me laughing out loud. How fun! Thank you for taking us along.
You absolute Legends. Just got back from a 14 day Cherry Blossom tour of Japan and was amazed by the number of older model Toyota Crowns still being used as a Taxis. I remember them from the 80s in Australia and they and the old Datsuns 280c were the silent assassins of the Australian market. And yes, both had the rear seat radio controls. 😎
😂😂😂😂lovely
This is excellent😂
I love it
Cars pretty cool.
Looking forward to seeing this being boosted💥😎💯
I'm so glad you offered to drive me around Sydney AND let me drive black chops, you're both so very kind. Look forward to your response to let me know what the dates are. Cheerio!
Oh please tell me that was a decoy Camry. That thing was mad
When the bumper came off after the first drop, there was no intercooler. I don't think it's the MCM turbo Camry.
@@pmcotto7371 same license plate, same fender, different lights, yeah I don't know either
I think the video is AI generated
Pumped for this!!! The intro was beautifully done
Amazing, start to finish ❤ Thanks for all the effort!
Instantly wanted one. looked online in the uk and the equivalent to this here is £10,000 (19,000 aud).
Nothing is cheap in the uk anymore.
Enjoy the car what a thing
Got myself a GS460 for $13k at 120k miles 3 years ago. No problems, it’s cushy missile.
US values are crazy on them due to rarity. In NZ/AU they are 30-40% less for that mileage.
"Old People Gold." That's the colour. OH MY GOD TELL ME THAT WAS A PROP CAMRY!!!!!!!!!
Kid I taught referred to it as "Grampy Gold"
Old man tan
Genuinely one of the funniest intros I have seen to a video. I also immediately looked at buying a crown
Can't believe you guys came to film in Putney. I live here mate. As soon as I recognised the parking lot behind Auspost my jaw dropped lol
Whaaaaaat! Wish I was living in Australia to potentially get in the running for that! Can't imagine how fun it would be to just hang out, maybe check out the restaurant, the studio, drive cars, and everything. Someone is going to be very lucky.
Restaurants closed dude
@MrBarryaird only like 5 years ago... 😁
Oh no the camry at the very end my soul hurts
Loved it all, but nearly pissed myself laughing during the first part of the vid!!
Arigato Taxi! what a throwback
I had a 2000 Lexus LS430, and its pretty much the same story as your Crown; the place to be is in the back. Mine was a Singapore import so it had a couple of oddball things that if it was a US market or NZ market model it wouldn';t have had. In UCF30 speak it was halfway between a Custom Luxury and an Ultimate Luxury. It had all the good shit in the back minus the footrests, all the heated and cooled seats (the driver's one chucked a fan blade so that was real noisy and vibrated a lot.), the seats had massagers, all the windows were laminated glass, but it didn't have the air suspension (someone chucked it on some Cobra superlow springs so it rubbed a bit when I had my 20s on it) and it didn't have the Mark Levinson audio system. But since it was a Singapore model, the radio worked to the NZ frequencies. I was an animal to that car though. I'd never overheated an engine so bad so many times like I did with that yet it didn't give a shit. The diff was supposedly an LSD but if it was, it was entirely worn out and wouldn't spin two. Still ripped massive skids though. I did also do a starter on it, and I'll take a 1UR starter swap over a 3UZ starter swap any day. There was nothing wrong with it but I was already that deep into the engine I might as well change it out while the manifold was off. Ended up swapping it for a sacked out Woodrigos special Mitsi Pajero which is now a giant sack of rust on the back lawn
My dad used to have a 1965 crown ute. Don't remember it having that many cool features but it certainly was unstoppable as a paddock basher
That engine swap guide at the end was really helpful.
Moog went strait into top gear mode doing that back seat review.
Hey guys, been watching you since Marty's mom's driveway. Love the things you do, getting together with the Roadkill guys was one of my favorites. I'd love to see you do something with MartyT.
Great episode, thank u mcm team
Just try and tell me that whole segment wasn't what happens when moog's off filming another show and Marty's left to his own devices. LOL
It was worth waiting on the starter footage just for the fun of it. Good luck to the winner, I'm sure they will have a blast. It's gonna be sweet as to see the future.
I Been Waiting for this!!!! Friggin Bewdy!!
Can confirm the intro bit, the Toyota Matrix is SO popular in Canada that I've parked next to one and had that happen with my FOB 😂😂 4048 possible FOBs and I stubled across another
The future of Mighty Car Mods. Guys you dont know it yet but this is just a wormhole into the future.
Genuine smiles for miles, made my monday, thanks MCM, you've come so far.
space wizard levls of strange for the intro
This was the quietest in-car footage you've ever had. Props to Toyota
How cool would it be as a half german. half asian guy, to visit australia for the first time and then meet you guys... Dreams are nice....
I'd love to see the uncensored version of this :))
Love the video boys, I had a 1982 Crown light blue outside and full blue cloth interior and also had the same controls Moog explained and also a wine cooler in the rear too. Even though it was a car from 1982 it was the quietist car I have ever driven
I was in that car park the other day. Had to go to the post office. Didn't even know there was a cafe.... might have a look tomorrow.
