Mighty Car Mods I love you guys! I learn something almost every episode. Thank you for making videos!
Keep up the videos guys.. You Guys should make a video of you guys at the drag races just racing other local people from your town in there cars that's kind of like a heads up not knowing the other people's cars just throwing an idea out there kind of want to see more scenery and ome ther Aussie builds lol be safe ✌
#OhhhSnap wasn't the haltech guy doing the wiring in the zed 😂😂😂😂 no offense just saying
Done! :)
I'm not kidding, I think I saw the wasaabi drive past my house a few hours ago!
You've got to give massive props to these guys. All these cars, day jobs, their off camera lifes, a restaurant. Unbelievably busy and always put out top quality content. Absolute legends!
I'm pretty sure they quit the day job at this point
They get paid for this you know that right?
I would be amazed if they still have day jobs
@@charlesalberti563 nope they still do music
"it can never lose to anything..."
Except to a Saab...
And to Rodney the Piston...
240z vs 2Sexy of course, but the problem is that the 240Z is too damn Sexy to start with!
Cheers from Tokyo!
Now you guys have me excited for the next two weeks. Been missing your content, unfortunately started watching a few months ago and covered everything from the civic to the big block 2sxy. We need MORE. Cheers, keep up the good work boys.
Cheryl's gonna want that knob back
Are we gonna see 240Z and the 2SEXY go head to head??????
RX-7 FC hope not
Do you guys not have significant others?
I believe you can see them parked right behind Moog and Marty
If that happens we will need to wait another year to see 2sexy again.
That cuts into racecar funds VetteRacin
I'm hyped for next few weeks, I love seeing what you guys are doing. Good luck with the new projects!
Man, that shifting throw on the EVO reminds me of the throw on my dad's Transporter van from back in the day.
And I am SO ready for MCM overload. Bring it ON!
2 SEXY will SLAY that 240. No doubt... It's 2 SEXY! Team Marty! GO! 2 SEEEEXYYYYYYYYY **unts unts unts unts**
I learned to drive on a manual Vanagon, and that was my thought too!
My rangers had shorter throws! Holy slop box!
Arvid Anvik I still drive one.... I know that feeling all to well
There are 2 reasons why an alternator can drain the battery when the engine is not running.
Most alternators have a trigger wire that wakes up the alternator regulator and field. If this trigger wire is tied to battery power, the field is active at all times and will drain the battery. This is about a 2 to 3 amp draw.
The test is to unplug the alternator and make sure the trigger wire is off when the ignition is off. Note, some alternators have a sensing wire leading to the battery that is always hot. This is to provide proper charging voltage reference.
The other possibility is a shorted alternator diode ( actual shorted not the generic " it is shorted " applied to all electrical problems. ) Power from the battery will flow through the stator windings draining the battery. The test for this is to measure current on the alternator output with a clamp on amperage meter or disconnect the output wire and see if the load drops.
Another quick test ( with the key and engine off ) for either of these issues is to take a piece of metal and see it it sticks to the alternator shaft or rear of alternator.. Current flowing through the alternator will generate a magnetic field.
Best post.
This guy alternates
Is your name Robert Roberts?
Morgan Smith - Holy shit it is! That's awesome! ...yet I feel bad for Bob... Sorry Bob.
yeah when he said something in the wireing or the alternator my first thought was bad diode..
We need to see a yaris project haha
Bratsoni I wouldn’t be surprised if the next car was a Yaris.
they can have my t sport for free if they ship it 😂
A Supercharged Yaris is actually amazing
*the* yaris project.
Yaris 😍
Exited to see the upcoming releases especially mod-max!
Love seeing you guys run your cars even if its a complete nugget!
Wheres the 350z
Regarding AWD, turbo, manual, relatively new (weeeell, 10+ years but you know) car: Volvo V70R AWD! Heaps of problems for free, probably really rare in Aus, but let's not sweat the small stuff! You get a huuuuge trunk so you can haul around all the extra bits you need. And then some!
I second this. The whiteblock is amazing. And you guys have never messed with a 5 cylinder. Just get rods if you want more than 300 or so whp
That volvo is so awesome they make SOOOOOO MUCH POWAAAAAA
oh right on! can't wait for the upcoming vids! and i am so so stoked for the old fashioned DIY vids! those were the best ones!
Congrats guys on making a full car based network that is for actual enthusiasts. MCM and Skid Factory are some of my favorite stops on CZcams.
If it’s not broken is it truly a project car?!🤔
VEDEM RACING no truer words have been spoken.... 😢
Haven't done a project car but the jet boat was always in pieces in the shed.
Have an rx8 with merc om606 engine the whole car keeps breaking on me except the engine 😂😂😂
Honestly you guys are legendary. I absolutely love what you guys do and I have been watching from the beginning. I have a 2008 Golf GTI and a 2005.5 Audi S4 and it's largely because of things I've seen on your epic journeys. I loved the rusted and rat rod Golf and then Super Gramps. Then the Stagea blew me away. I had to have my own wagon and that started my search for my Audi. It's an Avant and a manual which is SUPER hard to find in the states. You guys are truly an inspiration and I've got nothing but mad love for you both and everyone else who makes the show happen. Me and my friends watch religiously and you never disappoint.
Just two dudes who do awesome stuff and who I'd love to spend a night hanging out with in the garage. Much love from America boys, keep up the good work!
Good news all around! Both of you congrats on the newborn's! Sorry thank a announcer called Freiburger for that one. It still amazes me how you guys are able to manage it all.
Lol it's an upside down thumbs up because we're in Australia. Omg I'm dying!
Love 2sexy! These are the kinds of cars I come here to see! Keep it up!
Failed diode in the alternator. Diodes work like a one way valve and control the charge and stop it from earthing out. Just swap the alternator with a functional one. Job done
likely, as they break down PIV goes way up, becomes like a short you cant find!
A C Ellis thanks man. Will check it out tomorrow.
No problem dudes. Had the same issue myself, spent £800 on a new PCM as we believed it to be the smart charge for Ford electronics but then opened up the alternator and all three diodes had blown. Went to the junkers and picked up a second hand alternator and Bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt and it was fixed
Contact me if you would like a Ls1 alternator conversion kit for that RB
So that's why there was an EJ in 2Sexy's trunk. The more you know.
Listening to that Golf smacktalk now, it's pretty funny.
I love 2Sexy... it's so unassuming, and once tuned it should make some decent power, I want to see it and the 240 race that would be fun. I think 2Sexy is going to surprise Moog. Marty I've watched the entire 2Sexy series, love the car, be proud, it's a bad ass little hotrod, I can't wait to see you chop the world in it :D lol go 2Sexy!
Oh no..
Its the Blue Turd vs V8 all over again....
Blue turd got crushed I think
For a second I though you where talking about the USA Blue turd. I was about to say I know the owner and he isnt going to crush it any time soon lol
Rubén Cabrera dub 2 my channel
Marty is 43 and Moog is 40? Jesus christ.. I thought you guys were early 30s..
Marty does NOT look 43.. more like 33. Moog is showing his age a bit more.. gray hairs on the beard but still, doesn't look 40..
Make up
Grey hairs in the beard? Damn I'm 29 and half my beard is grey!
Grey hair....don't you mean wisdom highlights
Marty is going a bit bald, and has been for a while. You just can't really see it under his cap, but if you watch a lot of MCM - it does become visible here and there.
Mike Oldfield dude... im 20 and my beard has a lot of grey in it😂
All of your guy's project cars are awesome! I would love to own any of them.
Already seen the next project car... I cannot wait untill the videos. Definately not something you’d expect 😍😍😍
Well since Moog said he will wipe his as with it, then we gotta see 2Sexy VS. 240
YOU PARTED MISS DAISY OUT!!!!?!?!!!!! That was one of the coolest cars on CZcams
You’ve chopped my heart boys
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It was not safe to drive and they didn't have unlimited cash sooooo....
It had to be done. the interballs lost a soul but another was born
MrHELLBENNT it was way too dangerous to sell, and someone wanted the shell (and we wanted the engine) so turned out ok
The guy that bought it is in one of my Facebook groups, it’s getting fixed up
Benny sold it a while back, anyone could have bought it.
That's a thumbs up because we are in Australia... we are upside down mate :)
-much love from Zimbabwe
Thanks for the update on the whole car park, it's needed once in a while!
Also, Marty, please watch Gremlins!
OMG I HAVE BLUE SHIFTERS WITH ALL THIS TEASING
Who would win?
The Blue Turd v2 that bends rods
VS
The White Swan that eats batteries
(Yeah, I've taken to calling 2SEXY the Blue Turd v2 as it's blue, a nugget and a track car)
you guys made so happy to hear the vtec mini is coming back and supergramps too??? hell yeah!
mogwai mogwai mogwai... bad Gizmo lol Great work guys.. Favorite channel ever..
RIP Miss Daisy 🙏🏻
What was mis daisy? I must have forgotgem
Was once a fairly straight VW beetle, they shoved a Subaru engine in it and then scraped it.
@@ericktrejo2620 miss daisy appears in recommended episode of this. the title is HOW TO BUILD A SLEEPER.. and the icon is a vw beetle.
It's my fav MCM car of all time :(
Rest in peace Miss Daisy!
I was sure when I saw it, but after watching this video I am. I saw the Cresta at Drag Week on the Street Machine channel. It looked like it was doing pretty well and getting some good times. Looking forward to the dedicated videos about the Cresta at Drag Week, should be interesting.
2sexy vs 240z! Almost all of the comments say that 2sexy has no chance of winning against the 240. But I didn't forget the fact that 2sexy was chopping Marty's stock Evo X on the track, and that was when 2sexy still has the 4g15. Imagine how much different the 4g69 can pull that same lightweight lancer. I'm stoked for the next videos!
Hearing that Daisy got parted out makes me sad. The Daisy build was how I first found you guys. Cheers, from America.
Hell yeah 2sexy vs 240z! sadly i dont think marty stands a chance on that one!
That shifter looks like a screw driver handle as well what an epic replacement
Hey guys! Bit of a bugger about the 240's current drain issue, but i did see it coming!
If the current drain is approx 4amp, you have blown the diodes in the alternator most likely due to starting the car with boost pack and running it without a battery that was able to accept the charge that the alternator was producing, (was likely the battery was either heavily sulfated or had failed open circuit)
To check it just place an amp meter on the alt end b+ conn with everything else off. Should show approx the same 3-4amp drain seen back at the battery leads too.
Through a new alternator on it and avoid jump starting and disconnecting the boost pack if the battery isnt accepting charge (checked with an inductive dc amp meter around neg cable) or a good battery isnt connected in the circuit.
Look forward to the new videos and keep up the awesome work 👍
Marty & moog! Or moog & marty 😁 hope your both well! Love the videos dudes! Lost interest in most things but allways find myself watching your stuff! So thanks for the awesome videos! Helps me wind down and chill at the end of work! Plus helps me when I'm down allways make me chuckle 😁 so thanks dudes! Wish I could live in Australia and mod some cars with you both would be a right laugh!
Your nuggets are why I come back.
The stage (or in this case racetrack) is set for WAR!!! 2Sexy vs 240
You guys should do more budget street cred vids 🙏🙏🙏
Marty some of us "old timers" that enjoy this channel were born in the 70s and did in fact watch and understand the gremlin reference. They multiplied if touched by water and changed from the mogwai into gremlins if they ate after midnight, BOOM! (que too sexy music)
Man Moog is starting to get a grey beard. I shall be calling him Moog the wise from this day on.
And I think he is bald
Both of them are in their early 40’s I’ve always thought they were much younger
How has Marty not seen Gremlins??
Yeah, Moog references a lot of obscure shit, but Gremlins? I can't believe Marty hasn't at least heard of that.
joke
I'v been waiting for the rest of the Mira for what feels like ages
This is by far the best show on CZcams
Moog, I approve the Racka Racka shirt. Good to see you supporting other Aussies!
Yaris! I hope it's a Yaris
Sharif Sircar shut up. A yaris. No, just no.
AWD Yaris with a turbo EJ25. It would get chopped on the track but it would be lethal as a rally car.
So don’t build a track smasher, build an ugly unwanted piece of a 15 second drag car? You must be new.
All I can say is, you won’t expect, nor would you ever guess what it is.. ever
I know what you are talking about Moog: Gremlins was an awesome goofy Horror comedy! You need to have a movie day with Marty and show him Gremlins over a couple of beers. Have fun. You guys are legends and so are those two cars.
240 vs 2sexy do it! :D
Moog pisses Martin off a lot, after watching for years you can tell he's tired of Moog interrupting him.
+1 to this
We all have a friend that can be annoying but they'll always be your mate no matter. they do wind each other up but moog doesn't react at all to it. Remember what you see here and what they do off screen will be different...Obviously still involving their passion of cars
Its called banter
People that think lancers and mira's are worth spending money on NEED interupting. Moog has it right.
I know i miss the old days of mcm
240 vs 2sexy
coconut_blond 240 vs 2sexy
240 vs 2sexy!!!
I'd watch that race for sure.
240 vs 2sexy
Yes we want to see!
About time Moog is back
Just made my first purchase in the MCM store and bought some cool stuff!
Mitsubishi have licensed the 4G engine out to many people.
“It’s an evo, tricked you it’s a lancer”
Hahah
The amount of cars you have you can open up a Mighty Car Mods museum.
That Nissan 240Z looks amazing it goes really fast on the race track Road Good job Moog Fixing it is a lovely Car 👏👏👏👏and 2sexy will be awesome out Race track
240 V 2sexy , needs to happen!
TPM FILMS #don’tblowup2sexy
#donthurtrodny haha
The pain of modifying most cars. They will forever be “broken.”
Excuse me, my car is NOT broken... it just doesn't run... probably because the engine is on the floor still.
Above all else, that Husaberg in the corner of the shed !
Marty and Moog keeping busy. Lots happing. All up for the race 2S v 240 yes bring it on 😅😅😲😛
don`t feed gizmo after midnight .
leon ham finally someone understands!!!
i need to rewatch that movie... it's been since the early 90's since i've seen it
dont get gizmo wet either
its not same as when you were a kid......
And keep it out of the water! If it gets wet, it till multiply. And if you feed it after midnight it will come to gremling ;)
I’m building a Mk3 Golf with a Mk4 engine, with a set of rods you can go to 350/400hp no problems, obviously a larger turbo and the usual supporting mods are needed but they are fairly reliable at high power of built properly👍
I realised the shirt mood (love it). Strayans supporting the Strayans
Four videos a week!! Why can't I hit the like button more than once!
2 sexy vs 240z: I'd be a nice run. Though I can't stop thinking how awesome would it be to this underdog beat a legend (240z). That would be epic...
That Mitsubishi Lanser is awesome 👏 Marty good job with engine it sounds really good
thank you for bring out videos on my birth day week i am a family man and i dont have the money to work on my car so i watch this to vicariously live through you guys thank you for showing us that is not just about wasting money its about being with friends and family birthday is on the 24/9
240 vs to sexy
that intro was so great haha.
Fast Subaru When I think of fast Subaru I think of the Hondaru
Maybe you should think White Bullet STi ;)
you should see the legacy a guy put a turbo 3.8 buick in. its still awd too.
Lol my fully built sti rapes the hondaru all day every day. Honda garbage
@@boostedone1367 until it rapes the ringlands and bearings.
@@frigglebiscuit7484 good joke. It wont. Ever. Cp carillo ringlands. Rifle drilled oversized bearings. And a perfect mapping. Nice try tho. You probably read it on the internet huh? 😂
Excited to see Dose Vader again.
Dang! That was nice of moof to give Marty that shifter
For a moment there I thought you'd be putting back the spider gear knob from the old interior XD (would be a good reminder of 2sexy's past though)
Racka Racka Merch by the way... hahaha yesss madddd
240 vs Too Sexy!!!!!!!!Marty and Rodney are gonna get chopped!!
The Cressida went at drag week!!good job boys
Mighty Car Mods. The gift that keeps on giving.
What about the TRD*LZR? 😎
I'm guessing they killed that with fire!
@@Yesidoplaytheguitar hoping
turd lizard?
Truly one of thier greatest hits
I have to know
Yes. Great wall is indian. Hence its name. Great wall.
Sarcasm
I wanna see a continuation of the Subarute project from the collaboration with Roadkill. Keep up the good work Marty and Moog so I can keep enjoying your content. #MCMfanSince2011
Yes we need to see the shootout between too sexy and the other car
240 vs 2sexy.....we all know the evo will win
Maze 275 let’s see the “F-Evo” get smashed by the 240
You know what would be cool? 2sexy vs Ben from gears and gasoline's zx2 escort
One is in australia, the other one is in america
I had the same problem (draining batteries over night) the problem was a wire coming off the alternator and going into the ecu was cut and re connected but it wasn’t re connected correctly. Had the wire re done and vuala it was all fixed. Now obviously that may not be your case but I’m just saying that’s a possible cause to the issue.
Every time you said "two weeks" I heard it in the voice from total recall.
Better take off 2sexy's intercooler so Moog can play a nice harp solo on it!!
Yaris bulid finally
God if only 😂
I would love to see that. A Yaris I could get my wife to drive and when my girl is old enough she could drive it.
Love the videos fellas. Do any of the old mopar cars in Australia have the 273 v8 in them?
You guys called out the GTi in this vid - but the AWD Golf R is no joke... some minor bolt-ons and a tune and they are proper quick little cars. Definitely up there with STis and S4s. I say this as a Subaru guy on his 3rd WRX.
The S4 is a VW after all.
@@MiGujack3 yeah, very different than the s4 tho. 3.0T (supercharged) > 2.0T. I'm just saying I don't think it's fair to the VW guys to have Golf R's bashed as slow
Forgot to mention that some project cars outlive their project beginner, aside my own, i still have grandpa's cars...ain't life enough to finish them sometimes.
Best thing i've seen in battery up-keep is an automated system that started the car to charge the battery when it got under 50%.
Why not just a trickle charger? A car starting itself can't be safe, nevermind how long you need to run it to fully restore charge.
"old school diy"
First, jack up your car
Moog what a friend, out of nowhere gives a shifter and a knob...
Love to see the spanking of the evo by the 240 at the track.
