It's usually only a few days from when we shoot a video to when you guys see it, that means most 'builds' come out as episodes. In the case of this midget series, turns out there's nearly 3 hours of sweet modified nuggetry, so we hope you enjoy this huge build either for the first time, or again if you've followed along. Don't forget we have an awesome new limited edition and signed mod max poster available here: mightycarmods.com/products/limited-edition-mod-max-poster-autographed
I think it would be a good idea to set up a new channel to put all the full length videos in and that way if we want to see specific full length builds/feature we can find it easier
Buht stustu? Fantastic job BTW
@@TheLinAndre agree. I got excited when this notification popped. But it appears to be things I've already seen. And despite my love for MCM, I'm not willing to drop 3hrs in the hopes of maybe seeing a few tiny bits of otherwise unseen footage
No turbo - no joy
Nice i love you guys are amazing! I have been watching since day 1 when you guys were just mates working in the driveway! I have an up and coming gaming channel hopefully one day i will be as big as you guys haha! I have a RB swapped s13 and a beautiful 2005 honda integra or rsx for some people, thats lowered on coils and mad!
I really like the idea of having all the parts put into a full length episode, I hope this happens more often now
We appreciate plenty of people will have seen most of it already but it's the best way to see the whole thing in one sitting!
They usually make playlists for each build 🙂
I think staying on CZcams and not Netflix or Amazon or any other streaming service gives you more freedom?
@aouni elsaddik Not more freedom but less pressure to perform. It is not as critical on view count, and since you are your own boss nobody can give you the boot.
Couldn’t agree more, I love watching along as episodes come out but it’s awesome to have it all as one after the series has finished, would love more episodes of series turned into one long video
1:05:52 Talks about injectors but lets out some of his own exhaust... lol
Wow someone asked for it in the last video and I thought your reply saying you'd do it because they asked, was a joke... Obviously not, legends!
They really are, gotta love em
You ask we do
@@mightycarmods I should never ever doubt you blokes.
@@mightycarmods can you please turbo her 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@mightycarmods Hilux??
😂no one didn’t catch the fart when they got excited the intake manifold fit? 😂 @1:05:54. Good show though lol. I subscribed lol
1:05:55 the fart gets me every time lol
This type of video would be amazing for older builds that we may have missed. Or a more modern trip down memory lane for others like me that have been watching for 10+ years. Looking forward to more either way!
Over two and a half hours of Marty and Moog being absolute legends in one sitting? I do believe I'll make time in my schedule for this one. Hell yes.
That B-Roll of all the skids was perfect. Marty is such a savant when it comes to Daihatsu vehicles.
I love how they did not edit out the fart at 1:05:55
Having all the parts put into a single video is a lifesaver! I get lost with series' and lose my place, so it's nice to be able to watch them all together in one smooth long feature 😍
Also, please MCM do a March K11 build soon! I hear so much mention of Micras and loved the K10 Super Turbo series! ❤
Not Gonna lie, you Guys ROCK!! That was one of the Most difficult builds/swaps ive ever seen.. Props to you guys, you have Extreme Patience and Persaverance!! Excellent Job...❤
This is my first time running into this channel and I must say what a treat I got to see. Thank you for all the hard work of a very enjoyable episode.
A 60hr/5 day work week in the bag and I just spent my Saturday morning watching an entire 2hr 40m MCM video about a midget. Hats off men, great job!!
As someone who comes back to old series, I really liked having the whole story in one video 👌
Viewer from across the pond.
I stumbled across this from a CZcams recommendation.
Good for that aren't they.
Glad they did.
One of the best builds I've seen.
I tinker with small upgrades like all other folk do .
But this took engineering to another level.
Loved it.
I learnt so much sh*t that I still am not capable of doing but the learning still helps me understand so thanks for that.
Great watch and subscribed to watch more.
Man such a cool build. I've been subscribed for ages but haven't watched a video in a long long time. But this definitely reminded me of why I subbed in the first place. You guys are so damn laid back about this stuff. You're obviously great with cars. But you never act snoody or like you're better than anyone. Just a couple of chill dudes who wanna show off some rad car builds. I really appreciate that.
zip ties in the back are probably for a cargo net or bungee cords. to hold down stuff in the back. great episode guys!
Yeah what he said
Hey guys, I’ve been watching your videos for ten years! Keep up the great work. You have inspired me to keep going and doing new projects. I thank you
at precisely 1:05:49 marty got so excited he blew a gasket
Sitting in hospital watching CZcams shorts after emergency bowel reconstruction surgery seen a video then came across this what a bloody lifesaver. Awesome having this long episode on such an awesome big block 'TRUCK" thanks for the good time
I love the way you guys can take anything and turn it into something to get excited about 👌
Builds like this is why I love this channel. Keep it up lads! 🙌👌💯🔥
Hope to see the Grovel back on the channel soon! Been holding out seeing how it turns out with the H6!
3-cylinder engines are interesting. Typically they are slightly longer stroke than bore, so they offer good torque and, while they're not as easy to balance as a 4-cylinder, they're still easier than a V6. Toyota has recently demonstrated that 3-cylinder turbocharged engines have long been overlooked as an engine choice. While not necessarily suitable for the massive barges that Americans drive around, they're very suitable for small to mid-sized cars when paired with appropriately designed and tuned turbochargers. Honestly, I can't wait for the G16E-GTS to be available to purchase as a crate motor in more markets, particularly once someone makes a ready-made ECU and harness for it. It's an incredibly compact engine with great power to weight and it's extremely well suited for many engine swaps when you don't need to make more than 450HP (335kW). I imagine it'll be a sweetheart for people looking to build sand-rails and dune buggies due to the light weight and compact size. It wouldn't surprise me if a kit car manufacturer also decided to use it for something, given the compact nature of the engine. Makes it very easy to stuff into a mid-engine configuration, since it's narrower than an inline-4 while offering more than enough power to be very fun.
I looked at the video length and thought no way would I sit through 2 hours and 40 minutes. Ended up watching every single minute. Very well done.,
This was amazing. I always think the end of the episode arrives too soon... this time around though -- that is STILL the case hahaha. Can never get enough MCM. Cheers boys, thanks for the years of hard work and entertainment!
✌✌✌
Need more of these feature length episodes, they’re flipping epic! 👌🏻
That cleaning and buffing montage with the chillhop style music was really pleasant!
All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within.
I been following all ur videos and feel like yesterday when you 2 guys began doing simple real simple mods love u guys
When you get Scotty and Dave from Hatech...to do your car that's prime. When you can hire out the skid pan out Sydney raceway....the 2 tickets to Japan... the hookup with the spare parts... the brains trust of people..just adding the $$....that car is the cheapest thing about this vid. Spectacular Bois...what a production👏👏👏
You guys rock 🤘
Thanks for the years of fantastic work, entertainment, and advice.
At 35.45 to 37 you were asking about the cable ties in the bed my immediate thought was for pool Noodle! For a bumper effect so boxes that slide around won't scratch the the paint or mess up the box itself. Just a thought.... love your show!
1:05:53
Don’t know why nobody has commented on this but I smelled Marty’s “boost” all the way here on USA 😂💨
Wicked you got to drive it bud, hard work pays off 👍👍
Absolutely love this build. Also lots of foot pumps in the long episode lol. Been watching this show since day 1 with the fuzzy cam lol ✌️
your videos are so good, i cant believe ive sat threw almost 3 hours without losing interest
The fart gets me every time!!! 😂
you may not realize this but the most impressive part, Marty can weld aluminum. to weld that leak free while under boost pressure without leaks (assuming). The dudes a real welder. Respect.
Amazing video ! Thank you ! I didn’t even notice this video was almost 3 hrs long 😂
1:05:54 For the ripper
Epic! Mad respects from Germany, great build and a monster of a TRUCK as a result 😅
The music in your video are bloody awesome too! I'd actually have them on for a good road trip ❤
I really can't believe I sat here for 3 hrs and watched the whole thing lol.. crazy little truck can't wait to see it turbo lower more wider tires and really see it moving
The OBS gmc is so clean and it’s dope to see in Australia
1:50:37 HAHA when I finally figure out the culprit after weeks of diagnosing, I also chuck the part across my neighborhood. The worst one's are when the part is still working, but just barely so it makes you question other things and then you're wasting time checking fitments, tolerances, even checking the wire harness as a last resort lol.
thank you for this video. It was great to watch, I was waiting for the long video. It was great to watch. Once again thenks for the video.
Greetings from here in the states love your show, I've been in love with Daihatsu, since I've seen one as a kid , I've always had this idea of using one in an RV "garage" part of a larger vehicle what you would call a caravan I guess with an easy nifty way of carrying and storing it,, to avoid losing some hair, I would have just imported that whole lay flat Daihatsu tanto engine with the turbo, but that wouldn't be as enjoyable as all that alumineium grinding, they really bust your balls over here with that carry-on luggage limit..😅
cant sit through a 3hr movie but ill happily watch you guys fuck around on a weird car for that long
Loving the feature length episodes. You actually get to see the results, Looking at you Bad Obsession Motorsport
I’ve followed from day 1 because everyone seems like family and who dont love seeing a Father and son making memories!
Ehm, the episode where you TURBO it is missing. You forgot to include it here, right?
Rewatched months after release again Great build.
We lay the engines in our USAC midgets (speed cars in Australia) to get the center of gravity and left side weight bias. But we also run dry sump oil systems.
This reminds me so well of my Mazda swap I’m currently doing .. I have a Mazda 1.8 bp from a 97 protege . And im trying to drop it into a Mazda mx6 and nothing was working …. Still stuff needs to be modified some how . But I went stand-alone to make wiring super easy. But I had to search part numbers and measurements to find other mounts from other motors that would work .. so far I got two of the main mounts in . Now just trying to get the protege ones to work . Then I’m almost in the clear . I had to mix and match parts from lots of stuff as well to make it work . But with the headache close to done . It’s almost time to finish welding the mounts and then on the home stretch with wiring the car up . I’m kinda excited . It’s also turbo and fully rebuilt block since I found metal shavings in the oil pan when I went to drill hole for bung .. so forged rods and pistons , fingers crossed it fires up like this project and works out in the end .. so many months . Time . Sweat and tears into it .
THAT WAS SHORT TURBO FARTHING at 1:05:54 daaaamn i felt it here in US . pressure release is healthy and safe. cheers !
i enjoyed this video i watched everything and i learned so much in this video thanks for the knowledge guys !
Here in New Zealand we only get the BYD Atto 3 and I first sore them was about a year ago but now they are becoming more and more familiar on the roads
2 incredible things- the entire build, and someone else actually likes the 6.5 Detroit?! High quality video
Can’t wait to see it with a turbo!
I love how it has the bar on the front and the back so you can pick it up with a couple of mates and move it. 😂😂😂
Need to have a midget/kei battle and smoke those guys over at gears and gasoline!
Really like the GT4 soundtrack vibes on 41:30
I wish I knew what the track was called. I’ve been hunting the comments trying to find it. Lol
Love seeing all episodes in one. Much love guys!
watched every episode, was more than happy to watch a full length episode again. cool little nugget
It's a beast! I love it. Go the little guy. 1Lt of pure fun.
I have seen a Summer Winter selector before. I can't remember if it was on a light aircraft like a Piper Warrior or Decathlon or an old car. In winter mode, it pulled some hot air from a shroud around the exhaust manifold. It obviously reduced performance but I think it prevented carb icing in very cold conditions.
I really want to see you guys finish the engine build on this. Bring on the turbo and a proper burnout!
Love this video man! Also the fart and then continued talking had me weak
Awesome full length episode
Love it man 👏 👏 big well done
watched it as it was happening. now watched all the way through. I can fully appreciate the watch time now that I have been working on my own yt channel(s). thanks for mashing it all together and making it a full length. I think it is completely right to do this.
Another wonderful origin story. Love that growling exhaust and the gutsy performance. Really cool! Well done!
Good to see you on the league today in the crowd with your tigers jersey Marty
That side exit exhaust sounds WAAAY better than I thought it would.
I've been watching her progress through the years and she is amazing. Smart,beautiful and can drive the wheels off of anything.
The Four Basics of Any Internal Combustion Engine:
1: Suck
2: Squeeze
3: Bang
4: Blow
such a cool build for a quirky little car. I wanna get one!
Moog and marty, you need to release a full album of chill beats. those horns and the baselines were incredible. super easy listening.
Really love the music in this build 👌
Great video, can't believe your survey that round about
Wondering if the zip ties in the back was quick attach points for netting over the cargo tray. Quick way to connect hooks etc.
That's my guess as well... Gotta be it
That truck bed looks like a great spot to install a hellcat! :) lol
That rear differential is very similar to the Toyota setups, also similar to the Ford 9in, just did one in a 4Runner that had a slow leak and no one ever checked it, once it ran out of oil the pinion bearings locked up
Dude it fits it fits brrrrrraaaaaap ! 😂😂😂 talk about moving gases
The morning just got a whole lot better 😌 Thanks guys 👌🏼
”Mine makes it the best midget channel” made me laugh way more than i should have 😂😂
TURBOOOOOOOOO IT
23:44 thats your heater for the colder months 😆
Awesome episode guys great work. Riveting 😅
I have seen a Piaggio powered by a Hayabusa turbo engine but that is only a three wheeler this is a real four wheeled car bad arse.
Mighty Car Mods +: What a _"build"_ ,you guys! Would have thought you all would have hit a veritable wall along the way, but _NO!_ You all persevered! This adventure made a truly great _'vid-jêhō._ Well done!
Great idea for a car trek. Hot Hatch that was not available in America. You import and then drive in New England during the fall foliage season. Stop at a corn maze , smash some pumpkins, and drive to the top of Mount Washington.
RESPECT THA MIDGET 🙌💚🙌💚🙌 fkn luv'd the Midget in the older GT games
I took a kush nap on the couch watching yourube and woke up this this video playing on my TV, nice 👍 I love this car my friend from Japan who I met on gran turismo showed me a pic of this midget van
Very nice
lmao why is he barefoot at 1:37:29 Marty pumping up the jam for .5 sec 😂
That haltech bloke is seriously switched on, good on him!
When is the turbo going on
When is the turbo going on
When is the turbo going on
It must be wild working in SuperCheap when this pair roll in
02:36:39
beautiful
and after completing steelrising yesterday it fits, somehow even better xD
i like the dance of the midget 2 machine :)
Ive literally individually selected each of these episodes already for the midget in series over 40 times already.. so the fact yall put it together as an episode/series, makes it heaps easy to watch over and over. ❤❤❤❤ Cheers Mates!
