Dear comment section,
If I may remind everyone of a quote from Moog himself, [Budget Street Cred, Season 4 EP 22]
"I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book"
I'd just like to thank the boys for bringing us all regular, top quality content regardless of the haters. You guys really do an awesome job every single time.
Only real mcm mates will know this 7 years ago .....superwog
The S2000 is already beautiful so I feel like that aftermarket bumper is an injustice :/
Looks like the perfect place for a FMIC.
Just remember kiddies, if it looks like it's come out of need for speed, it shouldn't be on your car.
Aaron Rayment I agree with you, that's the bumper I'm putting on mine this summer.
I meant aesthetically not performance wise. nfs just had that early 2000 JDM look where everything was over the top.
The point of Mighty Car Mods is not "bolt on exactly what I have or like what I like". It's just saying "personalize your car so that it makes you happy, here's what I did and how I did it". Are you saying you don't want him to be happy? I'm sure your comment didn't help any.
The sight of that front bumper burns my eyes.
The sight of your overused comment is equally eye inflaming. Shoo, you unoriginal pest.
AKNismo God forbid somebody has the same opinion as me, sorry that makes you so mad.
I agree. This is a cheap rice bumper. The S2000 deseves better. He should have bought a Amuse. ASM or Mugen bumper instead.
I Love it ! Looks amazing !
People like you ruin the car scene, grow up a little. It's his car, don't like then just don't watch.
i like how it started as an audio segment, then promptly went ADD and yall got tons of stuff delivered... good episode
The vinyl is gone! So many people screamed "WOO" when that happened!!!
Haha I know I did lol xD
i did lol
I personally didn't like the vinyl
I didn't either lol
Hahah ik right!!
Loving the look of S2000 now more than ever, can't wait until the next episode. This mini series feels like an old school project car video
but the bad
The comment section has made me want to rage but I am going to say this and walk away
You build a car the way, you the builder want it to look and perform. Fuck everybody with their negative comments and embrace your vision. People and their opinions are tempoary
Hear hear!! Words of truth. Love the build so far can't wait to see the bumper all painted and finished, the wheels looks awesome and lowered it looks mean. Only quirk I had was the front tire fitment, backs are good but the front looks off size wise.
ferretkiller9454
Who knows, might tie in really well with the front splitter and paint?
First rule, youtube commenters are dumbshits and second rule, youtube comments are shit.
I mean, present company excepted of course.
Anyway, on topic, a little bit or perhaps a whole crapload of plastic body filler and that headlight gap will go away
Couldn't have said it better myself!!!
It seems like "most" Honda owners want other Hondas to be build and look the exact same way all the other Hondas look.
I knew exactly what was coming when I seen rpf1 on the boxes. Nice, quality choice there Moog. It is also nice seeing Benny help out with the Honda. He loves it really lol
I'm so happy that I've got mcm playing in my store now. I can work and be entertained at the same time
That 'feeling' when MCM uploads a video. Where you just drop everything you're doing and have to watch this because you just cannot miss it!
You guys always upload when I least expect it lol
Maybe it's because they live in a country that allows steering wheels on the wrong side....Bizarre!
Kenny J I think you'll find they're on the Right side :D
Defo the right side haha
No kidding, right??
Thats why he left this conversation, and he doesnt reply :D
Why are people so obsessed with 'Rice', who cares if he puts a new front bumper on the car, or replaces the stereo? If he enjoys the car, with the mods that he installs, than thats all that is important! Its not your car, its his.
Who cares if the Mona Lisa get's spray painted over, it belongs to a museum.
@@taylorc2542 wow you cant be that stupid
It's got to the point that people call any mod that isn't performance "rice" Aesthetics is a thing lol.
Anyone who says an S2k is rice doesn’t understand roadsters
Love the build so far Moog! Can't wait for the next episode!!
OMG MOOG WTF HAVE YOU DONE YOU HAVE RUINED MY CAR-
Oh wait.
It isn't my car is it? It does not belong to anyone else in the comments either. It is your car which means you can do whatever you feel like doing to it. Those wheels and springs are pretty sweet and I actually quite like that front bumper. can't wait to see the next episode, it's going to be MAAAAAAD.
In this episode, Moog tackles the best mod to date; removing the hood vinyl! And then... installs a bumper that only Frankenstein would find appealing...
Modding makes me happy and it should for anyone that is lucky to do so!I like what he is doing to the car it's moving foward and having fun.
When is the next one coming ahhh, loving the first episode of this mini series.
Keep up the great work
YESSSS!!! A new mcm episode!!! I've waited for sooo long!!
I concur
Omg yes this is all I've been waiting for.. Love this episode, and the next one is gonna be even better.. Then again I hate hondas, but love s2ks and nsx's
Built your car as you want it and just be happy with the mods you put in! Cant wait for ep 2!
Watching this just thinking of how far the quality of your vids have come 🔥
"Objects in mirror just got chopped"
I'm loving that sticker.
Am I the only one that was disappointed that Moog didn't say "To take off the wheels. First, You have to jack up your car."
on a honda you can do it without jacking up the car.
so it goes even lower then! :D
It's his accent that makes you miss it
Can't wait to see the rest of this build, top work MOOG!!
Boys........you went to town on the Honda, loving it already, keep up the awesome work!!!
Honestly it sucks seeing Moog work on his s2000 without Marty or not getting as much help as Marty. Moog helped Marty with gramps ever since the project started and now when Moog needs help with his s2000 he doesn't want to ... Coming from the MCM forum and a youtube channel that preaches about equality on all builds and no descrimination between cars, you really see the irony.
ikr UNICORN POWER
How do you know what Marty is up to? He might have been working at the time Moog was doing all this for all we know. Get your head out your ass.
When Marty had his other Subaru moog wouldn't help him. The only Subaru he helped with was Gramps
But Marty needs to have a picnic with his MX5 friends!
Tetris IsUnrealistic NOPE he was doing his part time job and he couldnt make it moog even said on de forms
98% of the comments is haters
1% of the comments are people hating on haters (HATECEPTION)
The last 1% is people like me just enjoying the video.

Anyways forget about that, the S2000 is really starting to take shape and I love that bodykit!
Correction:
98% of the comments is haters
1% of the comments are people hating on haters (HATECEPTION)
The last 1% is people like you commenting on the percentage of people doing what.
Can't wait for the next video! Looking awesome!
I love yall. I'm going through so much. And yall always cheer me up
omg look at all the subies in that garage :o must be heaven there :D
Scoobies*
Subarooo's*
Btw, they're half cuts 😘
+Jksamonte not all of them, the ones on the shelves in the back are, but there are a couple that have a numberplate and some were parked outside, im sure those are working
yeah just pointing the half cuts out.
The next thing this car gets has to be a supercharger, it would be new and would compliment VTEC better than a turbo would.
And they are cheaper to acquire if we dont count with the parts required to mount them, but it requires less overall work and its easier to install.
That would have been really cool to see. The mk5 wouldn't have stood a chance
I really hope MCM uploads on a daily or every 2 days. I love these builds. Doesn't matter what or how they do it, just watch and enjoy people. Just show some love and support, that all. Peace from the UK.
I was so excited about the S2K transformation ! I'm pretty sure this is gonna be an awesome car, even if I don't really like the new bumper...
Mechanical Stig dropped the forking MIC and walked off the stage, hahahaha!
and the next shot shows him sitting down having a feed! ahaha
0:32 is the greatest roast I’ve ever heard
Love you guys! And the S2000! Had mine for over 12 years and 180 000km!
Looking MAAAAaaaad Moog. Excellent wheel choice. Rim and tire combo. Superb. And that front bump. Not too shabby.
I wonder if they're gonna make the Honda S2000 look as sick as the one in Fast and the Furious 1.
Nope. It will be more pink and furrier.
Carl Fleurinor I am pretty sure he meant Tran's S2000 not the pink one from 2 fast 2 furious. Jus a thought.
Carl Fleurinor Pink S2k is in 2fast2furious
Teng Khang 2fast2fabulous
Not really a fan of the bumper, but whatever makes ya happy moog!
S2K's are really fantastic platforms, you really can't screw one up, no matter what you do to it.. I haven't driven the AP2's, I know they bumped the displacement, but my only beef is that even in 1st WOT in the AP1 I feel like I can get a cup of java before redline hits. So much noise, so little accel, I think a civic is faster.
Though I guess Moog fixed that with spray, haha. Good 'ol nitrous, fixes everything.
the bumper apears to be made so that theres room for a intercooler, turbo, vtec, NOS?
William McCarthy Yeah, I noticed the big gap too, haha. I hope he doesn't boost it tbh. I mean it's obviously the most efficient way to pull power, but boosting a car on stock internals is common as dog shit...I mean that's not to say it's not awesome, and it's like the best bang for your buck, but I've just seen it so many times, even on the show we saw Marty with his.
knowing how much moog spent on his car hell probably upgrade internals as well
William McCarthy Eh, yea. As I said though, I'm hoping he does something out of the ordinary with it. Though time will tell.
I love the bumper, looks amazing
Marty is right, a good sound system is a big thing and goes along way. This would be one of my first mods to any car. Enhances the experience of driving your car and chilling in your car.
Those rims are stunning! Funnily enough I saw them on the current model MX5 and they really made the car look better.
pull the alpine type R, install super cheap speakers yay!
lol i noticed that too.
Exactly what i was thing.
Moog said on Facebook that the speakers and amp were "frazzled". So they needed replacing
Sponsorship life!
Exactly, why not just install what was there nicely rather than fitting rubbish, maybe they were busted, didnt look it though. Also drilling and screwing straight into door metal is poor. Should have made an adapter. Mtx amp is probably better than the junk picked up from super cheap too.
Modifying a honda is like vtec! It takes a very long time for anything to happen. Haha my favorite line
jesusx612 jesusx612 I guess Moog regretted saying that cause he recently added a Honda type r b16 VTEC engine in a mini coupe lol
They are fools to compare this to any Subaru or Nissan. It's a tiny compact sports car.
Finally the s2000 gets some updates lovin it ,even though its not finished. ... cant wait for the finished product on the mx5 killer !!
already hands down my favourite episode of mcm, props to you marty you have an awesome taste!! although i feel like this is maybe boarderlining on not being diy I think its perfect I cant wait for the next episode and for you to supercharge that s2k!
you binned an MTX audio amp with Alpine Type Rs for a shit cheap JVC and pioneer speakers... are you insane?
Assuming you guys know. If you lower or raise any vehicle with rubber bushes you NEED to undo every rubber bushed pivoting point and re tighten them with the suspension slack taken up. ie when sitting static on the ground. Otherwise your bushes are going to flog out way prematurely.
nismofreak34 Maybe I missed if they covered that part, but I'm sure they re-torqued everything at ride height.
Yeah I noticed that, they were installed poorly, but that was a legit Alpine stereo system.
TheSPazCORE But it was fucked up...
ordnas1234 yeah I just read that. Makes sense now, no sane person would bin a working Alpine system for some cheap speakers.
I'm so confused someone please help me.. Moog just Removed Alpine Type-R series speakers and tweeters from the S2000, they are upwards of $200 USD for a pair and sound heaps better than the Pioneer speakers they just bought. Why on earth wouldn't they check to see if the existing speakers worked after a wiring adjustment? Mighty Car Mods
Hi guys and greetings from Finland. I'm more motorcycle guy myself, but I like your show. Keep it up. Cheers.
Man although Im not a Honda fan the s2k has grown on me. Loving the new wheels and springs Moog!
will be great when the day comes you are modding like an R-32 Skyline Or maybe even an r-34
RAKE LOVES IT
YEAH RAKE LOVES RICE
RAKE DOES NOT LOVE THE FRONT BUMPER
Rake loves to stuff Lego in his arse
Daniel Reyes OK
Rake drives a red nissan skyline r34
Just got my s2000 three days ago, time to rewatch this series. Might learn a thing or two 🙏
I just bought an s2k all stock except a skunk2 exhaust system and watching MCM again makes me excited to start modding toothless 2.0
New Bumper made for inter cooler
#turboconfirmed
Looking good! Im not a fan of the front bumper but oh well. Please change the car into another color than this boring silver. I think: (white, black, gold or red) would look very nice on the car and rims. Cheers!
Gold seriously
yellow ?
The "golden yellow" s2000's are very common. I have an example right here: farm1.static.flickr.com/132/415587770_2f2071592b_b.jpg
***** that is a really nice color
Yes. Thank you so much this was the ideal video I was in search of. Love you boys.
I've been waiting for moig to mod this car since he got and am loving it!!!!!
The Wheels are looking awesome !!!
Dont like the Front bumper...
Wont judge the front bumper till it painted and all the other exterior mods are done
Since when was modding a Honda automatically rice? Especially it being the s2000, one of the best cars ever made by Honda. Even if you don't like what Moog is doing, as a car enthusiast, you should at least respect the fact that he modified the car to fit his own personality rather than leaving it stock. If you don't like what Moog is doing to his car, maybe you should get off your ass and do something with your car that is somehow "better" than what Moog is doing with his car, rather than complaining about HIS video on HIS CZcams channel.
Completely agreed^^
Love it guys! Screw the haters! Totally wish my life included working with you two!
Im not a big fan of alpine, but I cant believe you guys replaced Type Rs with a pioneer component set!
Well you're right about one thing. Alpine is better than Sony, Pioneer or JVC when it comes to car audio.
CDN12Guns Oh, yeah for sure, im just saying I cant believe they're downgrading from the alpine to the pioneer. But my favorite is JL since everything other than my deck my whole system is JL! As for this video it would depend on how old the footage is, since alpine has recently discontinued the type X and "replaced" it with the type R, in canada anyway, so those might have been top of the line alpine speakers!
Adrian Clayton By the looks they were/are a good set of Type R's still. Didn't seen any issue apart from the wiring (getto the crimping and she be fine) and the location of the tweeters wasn't greater, but an easy 10-15minutes or so of doing some "ear" testing for the best spot would do the trick. (based on personal preference obviously).
I have a set of Alpine SPG 17CS and although not the best, but budget wise they work brilliantly. (no distortion thus far, running 2800W amp, although I don't drive them hard normally, just pointing out they are yet to distort for me when driven hard).
The guy that "lended his time" didn't seem knowledgeable on speakers, otherwise the Type R's would be there still.
Well actually Myles said later (on the vid's fb post) that all the components of the old sound system, amp and speakers, were blown, and he tried repairing them but it didn't work out.
TheGrig200 Good to hear they weren't replacing them for a worse set up then I suppose. However they should of went and got better Speakers than they did. Although super cheap don't have a lot in audio, to be honest.
You HAVE to paint the mesh black or remove it, pleaseeee
That Honda S2000 going to look amazing Good job Moog Modifying👏👏👏👏 it and l don't know why people not like it
im just excited that they're doing a build on the s2000!
I s2k
Brutal. Everything was going good until you wrapped those rpf1s in shit tires and installed a fast and furious front bumper.....not sure if this is a joke or not
Kinforest KF550 tires are not that bad. They are probably the best you can get for what they cost. The front bumper, well... If it was not for that assymmetrical air scoop it would look good after painting. I'll wait for when it's finished to evaluate the final result ;)
Front Bumper is sick, gotta have a bangn stereo, little drop always makes a car look great. Looking forward to you exhaust, and all skids soon to come!
Everyone uses rpf1s but they look soooo good. So happy you ripped the vinyl off
where are they australia?
Yes new south wells near Sydney
*Near Sydney, New South Wales.

Most people here complaining about the front bumper and the tiny stretch of the tires and calling it "rice" probably don't even know the definition of 'rice.'
I don't understand why they hate on it when (at least in my opinion) the front bumper makes the car look more aggressive and powerful. The stock front bumper looked terrible like an 'issy wissy' car. Just because it's a Honda it does not mean that it's automatically 'rice.'
Here's an example, when you watch Fast and Furious, especially the earlier ones. You appreciate the looks of the cars, and even with them installing custom front bumpers that look insane, vinyl's, etc... you don't just go and hate on the producers or call it 'rice.'
Most of you people here hate on Honda because it's like a 'trend' since Honda's are associated with dumb, thirsty, teenage pricks who are irresponsible and make their Honda's look like junk.
Nuff' said.
It's not even riced tbh. Maybe people are mad because they don't have an S2000 to begin with.
Its about time, thanks to MCM showing me the light I'm currently saving up for my very own honda.
awesome mcm...keep it up!...love you guys!
haters will hate! your car should be what you LOVE not what anyone else thinks you like.
you really should wear a breather mask when working with fiber glass, grinding it releases little glass particles which you dont exactly want coating your lungs
cool build either way!
Original install is bad yes but it's better gear then the New stuff
Keep coming with these car builds! Awesome
I was so thrilled when you pulled off the hood stripe, my excitement only lasted a minute though because then you put that front bumper on...
Lol some of these comments are funny. If you modify your car to please others, that's your choice but please don't hate on this guy for choosing to modify his in the same way. Everyone shouts JDM but the truth is in Japan the car scene is crazy and they do whatever the fuck they want without caring what some kids who don't even drive will say about it.
I actually preferred the original bumper
Well it ain't your car now is it?
Nice choice on the wheels, that is what I was hoping they would be when I saw the box, not sure on the bumper but I've saw the full kit or one like that before and it looked nice!
Actual legend for putting RPF01's on it! What a wheel on such a car!
RPF1s. Buy them because everyone else has them.
Buy them because they are cheap, light, high quality, easy to get a hold of, good looking, etc.... Everyone having them is just a byproduct of those traits.
I know they're good wheels but they get stale looking
***** I agree they can get very stale, very often do they don't stand out on cars because they are so common. Never the less they are still good looking wheels, much better than stock, and still appealing to the eye.
Eating A Squirrel Yeah I notice them and they do look better but at major import meets I've been to there are often 3-7 cars with the same wheel next to eachother
King Geedorah You don't comprehend satire do you?
I really hate watching car videos and just seeing the word ricer thrown about all the time when someone takes a car from standard. It's stupid to call someone an idiot for liking the colour blue when you like the colour green so why call someone a ricer based on an opinion about aesthetics. People having a unique taste is what makes the car scene so diverse and interesting.
If someone has a slow car then they put a huge exhaust on it and claim it'll beat ferraris, go old school and tell them to meet you at a drag strip or a track or an abandoned airfield and put them in their place. The only way you can talk crap about someone else's car is if you're funding it out of your pocket, otherwise let people spend their money on anything they want as long as it doesn't endanger an innocent member of the public.
nx
You ricer
stancers and ricers don't like driving, they only care about style (and lack of class). but sure, do what you want mate. I just don't feel you're petrolheads.
Nice job MCM, its been quite a while since we saw you work on other things instead of performance mods.
About time!!!!!!!been waiting for this
He's a ricer now! Trying to make it look like a race car with that hideous front bumper
You respray the whole car for a cleaner look, or just the front bumper or body part you installed
Doesn't matter he trying to look like a race car which a Honda will never be
Really? Are you sure? Explain Spoon Racing. Explain why Kanjo racers use Hondas. Hondas are REALLY good cars. Just because its platform is FWD doesn't mean its a ricer. i could tell that you are a Muscle car fanboy and all you do is hate on Hondas all day. Get a life kid. You make up any excuses to protect a muscle car in a street race video, like any typical muscle car fanboy. Stop being the toxic people of the car community.
Kid.
Honda people are ruining the car community, because 80% of the owners are 20 years or younger that think vtec is the greatest thing ever invented that they have to put stickers all over there car so it looks like a "race car" I'm sure a s2000 with an intake exhaust and a 75shot won't be needing aero changes of how fast it going to go. It barley runs high 13 seconds. And I don't hate imports, I hate ricers like moog, all of Marty's cars have been awesome! Like the blue turd, his Subaru wagon, his turbo mx5, and the best one the flat 6 turboed swapped gramps!
Let me get this straight, all of this fits a honda?
Yup - it's hard to believe :)
Mighty Car Mods apart from the front bumper that is
Mighty Car Mods Why that front bumper? stock bumpers are waaaaay cooler :D and by the holes i see in the part 2 teaser it's gonna be a spoiler? pls tell me that isn't.
- Enkei Rpf1's are my favoritteee wheels! Love 'em. Great choice in wheels, man.
This is awesome! Definitely going the right way about modding a street car!
Dat hideous bumper though. So much rice...
Wow why is everyone bitching about the tires being stretched? ok maybe they are stretched a little bit but that's not ricey, ricey would be if you stretched them too far...
People saying this stuff are just fakers, they've heard stretching is bad on a facebook post and then they go "OMG STRETCHING RICE RICE!!!" when they see cars with the tiniest of stretch of the tires...
I love that amount of stretch - any more would be stance and would just look stupid IMO.
Adam Hansen same opinion here, having slightly stretched tires supposedly stiffens up the tire giving the kind of effect you would normally get from lower profile tires ie effectively a stiffer ride so the tires can handle changes in load a bit better. People just love to take the piss out of things so much they start hating on perfectly good cars just because "lulz rice bruh"
Front tires are probably 215/45 tires, which are stock specs. This stretch is acceptable and not rice imo, but I would have put a 245/40 tire on there, because it is a 9J wide wheel. 245/40 all round also makes an S2000 corner heaps better. But hey it is Moog's car and this is still good.
Trevor Felt still, the point is its stupid going crazy at someone over a tiny bit of tire stretch, even if it is as you say because of not being able to afford exactly matching tires that is a lot better than being a ricer...
megaspeed2v2
stupidity at its finest. ANY amount of stretch is bad.
-AP2 owner for 10 years with just as much auto cross experience
ah jeez i know the feeling of that rear driver side strut. mx5 is practically the same and i work on them everyday. but super great video, wish i could dump a bunch of money in my mx5 and have a film crew there to capture the fun. looking forward to part 2 !
the s2000 is a will built car. great handling car. i have been tracking my car for 9 years and the only thing i had to replace was the clutch. i love it.
"Is this your first time working on a Honda?" "Yeah, first and last" lol Amen
Famous last words, considering he's currently looking for an '80s City II Turbo...
i dont like the front bumper at all. the rims are ok though.
Lawrence Timme yeah i like the rims but im glad the stripe went as well.
Thomas H true i didin't like the stripe much either.
I don't really give a fuck about the bumper, amp or speakers. This is Moogs car and if he loves mods he is doing, I love them too. Keep it up mcm, can't wait for part two and DIY driveway work. Hell yeah !
13:49 looked like a 2015 STI 😄 makes me happy; anyway MCM rocks. Enjoying the videos and enjoying your work on the Honda.
Hideous front bumper
That bumper just made that beautiful s2k a ricer
it looks good.. some people may say its rice but i think it looks okay.. plus it's his money and his car.. so he can do anything he wants to it
With a huge wing it might look better. :P
Ray DM it probably will look good with those rpf1s and ride height it will give a track car look. I don't see what's the problem with changing a bumper?
icubabe Nothing wrong with changing a bumper. A rear GT wing will balance the appearance imo.
That my friend is the difference between ricers and tuners...imo
I reeaalllly wanted an S2k (still do) but was a bit out of my price range so I got a MK6 GTi and I must say I’m pretty happy with it
i love how good the sound is in these episodes guys. would you ever think about doing some music production videos?
