12 years later...the cars have gotten better, but this old stuff still brings a smile to my face.
usually moog would just lift the car using his brute strength and we could put the axle stand where ever we liked...
we've started a paypal account taking donations for a hoist so please feel free to donate.
Did you ever get the hoist mate?
@@TR.Pixels i know marty has one in his shed
Mad how far you boys have come
I can see why Moog is so much louder in the later videos. The local insects probably rendered him deaf.
Cicadas mate... brutal little buggers.
This video is so old but i put adapters on my g8 and I’m having tire rub ,i cant get ahold of a fender roller but the fact mighty car mods did this makes me confident this will work.
same here buddy, i recently got a bit overboard with my wheel and tyre choice and now have to do some hammer-work
Marty is so safety conscious, he uses jack stands, and wears flip flops.
I recon aye xD
As you should =)
thongs m8
@@josh.fornite2082 I’m a damned Yank, a colonial if you will. 😂
so at the start of this series you might aswell have called it martys car mods xD
11 years ago! That's half of my life. Awesome.
1:47 "practice on old guards first"
You guys have a better intro than most of the commercial channel junk on prime-time TV!
Keep up the great work!
rolling the guards on a Nissan Micra 14 years ago... you can see where all this was going ... good work guys 👍🦘
Found frozen... With a heat gun in his hand...
Ariel ASMR Generally you need electricity to use a heat gun, so yes. It's not that hard to freeze while holding an unplugged one. #YouFailAtBeingASmartass
But what if it's a cordless battery powered one? 🤔
The humble beginnings of what is now one of the biggest car yt channels goin haha
Your very first disclaimer... very important. 🤘🏼👍🏼😎
Moog must've been a fan of Jeremy Clarkson back in the days, if not still.
hahaha loyal to the ryobi tools from the start
Safety warning about the jack-stands then works on the cars in sandals lol. Love it.
Half an hour each side? shit I just used a solid metal bar between my tyre and the fender and got my mates to push it back and forth - took about ten minutes for the whole car; worked a treat and didn't split the paint at all..
Neat trick!
KasaiHasuki baseball bat!
His flip flops have got steel toe caps, invisible ones haha =)

we'll start a paypal account taking donations for a hoist! then we won't have to worry about jacking comments... :)
No Australia's weather is pretty much the same as America's except we don't get snow here and during summer the heat is more intense but the pro of that is we get more rain.
yep, a few of them! handy things
Still looking for the name of that iconic song they use when working on these cars.
It lives in my head rent free
Can’t believe this vid is 10 years old. Thanks mates
You guys make me feel warm n fuzzy inside
I love you guys
ah yes the safety boots! it gets hot in Australia adequate foot ventilation is a big safety concern
Damn. I was looking for a video to learn how to guard my rolls.
I wana see more work done to K11 Micra's because i want one as my first car :D
When you first start driving and want to make the most of your shit-box there is always a point.
11 years ago 😱 what would you guys to differently if it was done today ? How about an updated video of the same thing.
There is no need for a heat gun and all that shibizzle...
To roll your guards, all you need is a rolling pin and 2 people.
1 person drives, 1 person using the rolling pin.
place the rolling pin behind the wheel and let the driver SLOWLY drive forward. the wheel will grip to the wood pin and pull it under the guard as the wheel turns around. As you dive foward the guard will bend up, giving you bend guards. Simple, and perfect :D
you can also easily make a cheap DIY arch rolling tool using a scissor jack, a bit of welding would be required.... re dirt and water if you put a bead of silicone between the lip you will stop water and dirt getting caught to help limit chance of rusting!
the return fold ads rigidity to the panel if you cut it off it will wobble.
On cars with massive dish sometime the return is sliced off and some 6mm rod welded in around the arch radius to add some stiffness
its not the bigger wheel that causes the rubbing as they would have the same outside diameter unless someone stuffed up. Its the wider tyre and wheel as well as the greater offset in some cases.
Here I am still watching there videos from 15 years ago to do stuff today
No probs man I didnt mean anything by it, but yeah Blair is pretty common for male and females in Australia and New Zealand.
When I roll the guards how do I ensure both sides guards are symmetrical, I havent bought the tools yet so was guessing its down to the roller tool being fixed to a certain position after mounting hub? Want to try this out
LOL check out the CAREFULL pacement of the jack dish. You can actually see the bottom of the sill bend when its being lifted up!
Whilst everyone thinks rolling the guards is a good idea, it really isn't, The further in you roll it, the deeper the crevice you create, which loves to catch water, it'll rust away your guards within 2 years. Experience.
you could always add in a filler to prevent this.
i believe if you park your car outside constantly youd probably have those issues more
Avinash Mahabirsingh Experience? Well, in that case maybe you should do it the *right* way next time. 4 cars of my own and 7 friends' cars over 9 years and not one, not a single one has rusted.
hey my front wheels are rubbing on the front guards when i take tight corners. will this fix problem too?
Putting a nice bend in the seam at 1:09 😁
Holy F Mighty Mods, but still better than my videos. Good times.
@T0KzZ
post editing to hide the bad lifting spot and the "bent" rocker panel.
the fun genital part is to distract your brain of this little mistake.
Hadn't thought to use a heatgun, but then again, Ive never been too fussed about the duco'...
BUT, you can speed the process up & still keep it a neat fold/roll by using a rag covered dolly ;)
Good effort guys. Next time try using a dolly! Love the show tho...keep em coming.
when u roll the guards, is it just the small black lip being rolled back or is it the actuall body?
haha i agree. there is no chance at all of them having any issues of the wheel hitting the arches. look at the gap between the wheel and the arch!
I have an older Nissan, and it has a large piece of steel that runs along the corners of the body for strength, so that's more than likely whats inside of that car too. So technically, it shouldn't bend it from jacking it up from there.
Good on ya for giving it a go but I'd like to see those guards close up with light on 'em :)
ha ha I love the Top Gear "Stig introduction story quote" Jeremy Clarkson hilarious!
What do you do with the plastic inner fender liner
The music reminds me of the show 'How It's Made.' Baller.
Going to do this on my 106 soon, had a full car the other day and the only time it DIDN'T scrape was when I was braking -__-
Watching this is like watching top gear season 1
Thanks for the vid blokes!
I'll be doing this to my micra, rubbing wheels are getting annoying.
Any hints for increasing turning clearance on the front wheel arches?
Quick question,, wen installing bigger rims in a car do u need to get it aligned,,? Goin from 17's to 20's,!!
***** Part of the cars suspension designed from the manufacturer includes the size of the wheels. By changing the characteristics of one component of the suspension gives a chance for the car to become unaligned. Along with the diameter of the wheels also comes a few other measurements, such as width of the wheel and offset. When it comes to wheels the chance of the car becoming unaligned is small, but it all depends on how far you go from stock.
Marty well started squashing that sill lip with the jack
Still watching these today :D
I've got a 6n2, slammed and my arches have already been rubbed and bashed by my tyres and the paints cracked/worn off anyway so Would the heat gun still be necessary?
They also have a fender rolling tool , if you need to do this alot.
1:57 - Marty had so much hair back in 2008
LOLOL I've seen a guy stick a baseball bat between the tire and the car. when the second person drove forward, the bat rotated like a gear and rolled back the fender
Yea if you don't mind doing some painting afterwards a baseball bat works a treat
+matthew stock yeah I believe the car was to be painted in the coming weeks, so the guy didn't mind using the bat
miata
Ashmeed Mohamed isn't that where the fender cracked
more skids
Can you guys do more of your DIY's on the Cuore? I own one and would love to be able to see exactly where it all is!
Don't use this method. If you bend those edges 45 degrees upwards, you'll get dirt and water trapped on the inside of the arches. That, along with the damage you'll inevitably cause to the paintwork during this procedure, will cause your wheel arches to rust.
Fitting big and wide rims on a small car will ruin the handling anyway, especially when the road is wet.
So how would you do this with a Kingswood, or a older car ?
Wow you can see you really damaged the lip on the original place you used to jack it up! I see why you moved the jack to round the back.
I did this in 15 min :) both sides no paint chip either!
Actually both cars were rubbing before we rolled the guards.
He kinked the shit out of that sill seam with that trolley jack
Thanks fellas, this is good stuff.
Jesus i was 6 years old when this came out!
all you need is a hamer and a peace of cloth, thats how i did it and i didin't have to take out any fenders, just the wheels. and now i can fit 18" rims on a 96 hyundai accent.
Damn this video is old, 13 yearssss!
is the nissa micra good??? performance and reliability???
visit the haynes museum here in england its meant to be awesome
wats up man, i have a 1992 lexus sc400 and im trying to find a car thatfront lower control arms, and dash board cluster that interchangeable, thanks much!!!
LOL... there is an easier way.
get a pole... stick it between the tyre and the guard and get some one to drive over it while some one holds the pole.
I did it on a very low subaru that rubbed the guards really bad with out turning corners, they got 45 degrease on the car in the video but I got the metal to sit hard against the inside of the guard with out any paint cracking. It STILL rubbed so I flared the guard out with the pole about 0.5 - 1 inch. No paint cracked and it looked good.
WOW, MCM IS 10 years old
Same concept works on rolling them out as well it just takes longer and is a little more difficult.
The rear quater is a welded panel, so cutting it off will make two panels split open...
about how much wider can u get your wheels when doing this?
12 years later, WOW!
what do i do with mine?. they are glassfiber. pliz answer!!
if your only going to go halfway with rolling the guards adding heat to the paint will make no difference. you would be surprised how much flex there is in paint these days, and half the time you do this on a car even if you think its not cracked and looks sweet the paint is full of tiny cracks and or delaminated from the steel anyway. risk either way. try buying wheels that fit your car to start with... :)
Is this the same thing as "rolling your fenders"?
Sweet dude! That's cool.
I was eight when this came out...
same and now im looking at this for my 2012 sti
Tyrell .kennedy me too
eli vowels aha crazy man
same
Tyrell .kennedy so your 16
what does 16valve means? can u make some videos regarding giving us info on how to identify the quality of and differences of the engines of a car?
@DJALIENPHANTOM why would you want 18' rims on a Hyundai of any kind?
3:03 what was the point in rolling your fenders if the car isn't even low.
I like it, watched turbo 3 parter too, paranoid about none existent faults on a Megan 225 (mechanic said it was the turbo, that's how they should sound) now watch it for fun, as that was entertaining. Can you come over and take Clarkson and the Hamsters jobs? You'd have to work with May, but he does at least have a brain!
Where I can buy white blinkers for a micra k11 like in this video ?
Thanks ;)
lol I just wedge a ball bat between the wheel and the panel and pull forward and the bat rolls around the wheel well folding it in,but thats on older american cars with thicker metal
anyone watching this in 2017
Esteban Depaz me
meee
2018 dude
2018 bro.
can u do th same fr frount
...he probably didn't have anywhere to plug it in =P
Good video.
u dont need to roll the lower ends of the fenders...the car will only hit the upper end of the fender if too low. at 10 and 2 o clock of the circumference of the fender needs to be rolled.
isnt there a rolling tool that you can use?
what is the ideal temperature for guard roling?
Does this only work on Australian cars?
did i see this guy jack it up on the body :O instead of the rear lower shock absorber or front lower wishbone joint, obviously u need to leave the jacking point for the axle stand i know but gees :s
