The Skid Factory Put a Ferrari kit on it and LS Swap it.
Or chop the bootwall out and use all that extra boot space to chuck a 1UZFE and keep it Toyota.
I know the owner before woodies brother
How are you guys finding the tool pro cordless power tools???
Al what happened to your neck?
Put a K24 in it and tell Woody there's a flashing "cock gobbler" sign on his upper lip.
How stoked is Al to be commentating, lol
I really like his narration style, reminds me of How Its Made
Al is awesome in this vid
He is 😂 and simultaneously bored to tears with the car already !
REALLY channeled his inner Leyland Brothers for the narration- hope he does more!
@@bleeksbentbits3150 lol, yes exactly
Number 2 bearing shell, presented in kit form. 😂😂😂😂
"We then lifted the Toyota X19, to roll the engine out from under the Fiero."
Well played Al.
agreed.
Those are far better than fierros.
The fierro is possibly the worst turd gm ever squeezed out. (And gms best is still trash)
The Fiero wasn't a horrible car on paper, but with beancounters and poor management getting in the way, it never really achieved its original design potential. Typical GM - too busy with infighting between it's own internal brands to bother with actual competition in the marketplace. :-P
aussiebloke609 It did..Right at the end
@@meteor5452 no fieros were pretty hot back then, they caught fire a lot
I love how Woody opens everything slowly with his fingertips so as not to disturb whatever venomous creature might be lurking in there after all this time. Very Australian.
I don't blame him. If you ever watch the nature shows with the 10 deadliest this or the 10 deadliest that, half of them are always in Australia.
We consider those animals pets. Pets that you don't want to have in your backyard or look at or go near.
Loved Al's commentary on this one. Would like to hear more from him in the future
"if only there was another place to earth on a car made of steel"
Was going to post the same thing. More Al voiceover please.
Sorry guys tin hat on leave the voice overs to woodrigoss
"Boost ants" :D
You can tell by even just his body language he’s way more comfortable in front of the camera
It's cool to hear Al doing commentary on the video
Yes, the Al voiceover was such an unexpected, chill surprise. Also the sassy Fiero/X19 was pretty funny
Danny Hickling I was like “yehhh Al!!”
Was about to say exactly the same thing
I can’t believe woody convinced Al to sit down long enough to record the damn thing
woody "my older brothers got a sw20 with a 3sgte in it"
me "since when was his older brother Marty"
Lol nah his older brothers MR2 has been on the channel in a build review before. Fun fact though Woody has driven Marty's MR2 as well. If you watch the Skid Factory Injector pump episode on MCMTV2 you'll see them driving around in that SW20. I think Al does mention that he's not a fan of the MR2 even then lol.
Nathan Kong true. AL is very kind to remind the viewers on many occasions on how much he dislikes the mr2. This is gonna be a good one 🤣
The red one with SLOW plates
"along with N°2 bearing shell, presented in kit form" 😂😂😂
My cats have NO idea why I'm laughing so hard instead of preparing their breakfast.
Al had his extra surly pants on today.
rake may love it....al sure don't
I'm impressed that the various plastic and metal body panels all faded the same.
80s red Toyota's uniformly turn pink.
That's the camera fooling you under the lights, the car is faded in various shades of red, which is how you feel owning one...sometimes.
" The coolant and oil are then drained, then Woody drops the exhaust on my head" hahaha
Missed by thiiiiis much!
I love Al's contempt for poor engine building, great stuff as usual
Knowing the bottom end is toast and that it's got the 20v head and quad throttles c'mon 7AGE with higher rpm cams!
You know you want to Woody.
7AGE would be more work than rebuilding the original engine
7age just isn’t worth it IMO. The long rod/stroke and the weak block are just really limiting.
You’re better off building a 4agze. Or stuffing a beams in.
@@Binford2500 3's are pretty heavy/complicated to fit. A 2zz-ge pretty much bolts in and is lighter than the 4age.
People are making massive power from 7agte's. So 7ag platforms are far from weak.
I'm a 4ag fan of 25 years now. Love the 4ag! Awesome motor.
Big Papa agree with you, the 2zz is pretty much bolt in (few mods) as I put a 2zz in my corolla witch also had the 4age before
That poor 8 ball has seen every corner of the shop by now. 😂
Love Al's sarcastic comments and voice over, we need more of that. :-)
I reckon the engine building departments of each manufacturer had pool tables in their areas, and the poor losers of matches would throw the eight ball at the winners, but kept missing. Those eight balls kept turning up in the strangest of places until found, years later. 🎱
Great to see it again !
It isn't the same ball. There is a whole pile of them out back.
“Found an ECU” 😂😂😂 “Just leave the ECU sittin in the boot. What could go wrong?” That gave me a laugh 😆
Marty would have coursed laughed and then cry afterwards.
Al’s sarcasm is seriously priceless. Hahaha.
I love the banter between you two. You've both become so much more comfortable on camera and we get to reap the benifits!
Everything about this episode was backward, mirrored the car perfectly. Loved it.
The fact Al keeps his shop so clean and woody respects this, makes me like them more every episode.
A series with Moog and Al would be interesting. All that irresistible high energy colliding with the immovable low key sarcasm
Turbo Yoda commentary is BOSSSSSSS! more of that please!!
Brillaint episode. AL’s dry humour presents brilliantly in this format
Plus one for Al commenting! Hilarious and way better than the random breaks with you both standing in front of the car telling us what you're doing.
Plus an awesome opportunity for Al to impart his knowledge at key points!
'Extra clearance for more horsepowers!' cracked me up, as did 'Mr. Baring, he no here.'
"Like a FIAT X1/9 but with reliability"
😂🤣😂true!👍
Al has gotten so much more comfortable with the camera work. So cool to have been here from the beginning. Is this the first time Al has done voice? I laughed so much with this episode. You guys are legends.
Love Al rippin Woody's "Ferrari" to shreds both literally and physical.
Fiero. 😂😂😂.
Keep up the good work boys.
Al, keep on shreddin mate!
It’s not a Ferrari , it’s a Friggen corolla with the engine in the back 😝😝 ... this is why you rock AL !!!
From underneath they look someones just fitted the engine and transaxle into the wrong end of the car
The way this episode started I thought we might be in for a Primive Technology inspired episode...
Al's voice-over more than made up for when it turned out not to be the case- put me in mind of Layland Brothers narration!
Clear & concise with no hype but plenty of dry-humour sprinkled in- love it, such a relief from everything else about lately...
Thanks for sharing once again!!!
The red aw11's were notorious for fading something shocking. The paint looks alright for a car thats sat outside for so long.
That is the factory spot for the ecu, its meant to mount firewall side of that boot.
Fun fact that around 160 the engine hatch floats almost fully open in the air.
You boys should have some of the Aw11 anonymous guys that live somewhere around your workshop also.
I love Al's calm witty voiceover
Need more of that in the future!
Mate, the voice over from Al sounds a really calm sound book😂 love it!
"Pontiac Fiero without the mullet and trucker cap" is exactly what they are
My friend bought a Brand New Red Mr2 in 88' and I wont lie....Always felt COOL whenever we went out cruising friday nights....fun little car.
I can’t wait to see what unfolds. It doesn’t matter what car with these guys, every episode if awesome. We are so spoilt having these guys.
"Red Rat" is its name now (05:11).
Gahh, I've finally lost my first place on the Patreon list *shakes fist* 😑
On another note, it was great to hear Al as the voice over 👍
Change your name to AAA Aardvark Aaron Cutts.
@@theskidfactory Done 😂
Al's enthusiasm for this is epic
Cool wheel, tire and flair compo. Perfect real street stance 👍
„Number 2 bearing shell presented in kit form...“ ....sorry but I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard... because I have been there, done that.... I like the builds Turbo Yoda hates even more because of the comments!
You watch Al's attitude change during the process, by the end he'll like it for sure.
Watching this series during the pandemic. It fits. Perfectly.
It looks like a Silvertop sprayed black, one way to tell is the size of the throttle bodies, 48mm for silvertop and 52mm for black
nah it looks like a BT, it has the 3 spoke exhaust cam pulley and it has the hydo timing belt tensioner
Those 20v 4age's all do that, the engine number is an expire date. 😂😂😂
Al- Why do u always bring me Junk ? 😂
CP_FPV Nice little Gas Monkey reference, was brilliant
Nice little Adub, I knew a couple of the previous owners and it was always the tidiest and most rust-free. Glad it went to a good home. This series has given me motivation to fix mine up again.
I’ve never seen Al display so much disdain towards a job! Amazing!
I'm surprised Al let you sort out the boot in the shop. My brother would've made me do that outside, preferably off the property, lol!
Use the silvertop rods while you're at it. They are the same rods in the later 4AGZE
Loved Al’s narrative and the backing music was 👌. That’s the most I’ve laughed during an episode in a while. Spot on lads.
Al's narration is on point.
Another MrPoo lol, Call Marty to help
Aw11 the original Mr2.
The poo barge came after it. Haha
Full rebuild, turbo, happy times. 👌. I love these things. Had a Matchbox one late 80's early 90s in white. Thrashed the shit out of it. The 4AGZE was a beast too. Had one in a Corolla!
4ag's are such tough nuggets.
He said he was keeping it naturally aspirated.
you should start a gofundme or something to help woody make a really nice build.
i think woody is worth it, seems like such a nice guy.
SW11 fun little car. My misses wrote ours off. Think it popped a tyre at 100k's. Head first into one tree and then managed to spin collecting another 2 trees. Driver/passenger area still square but car looked like a banana. She only suffered the seatbelts kiss across the chest. Great to see the little red beast being given life again
I’ve fond memories of a mates mk1, especially the time we got stopped by the cops and they asked if it was his mums car 😂
Hell yeah! Some 4age love!
Al's narration on this episode is sublime. Fantastic stuff!
Al's commentry made it feel like watching Fletch on Classic Restos.
"Boost ants" LOL
Lols "then Woody dropped the exhaust on my head"
I love the Ronald Finger references. Really nice of you guys to shout out a little guy like that :D
Ripper little car. I had one of these for ages. Was n/a, then I supercharged it, then turboed. Trust me, turbo the sucker, it makes for a fun freaking ride.
"No2 bearing shell, presented in kit form".
Knock knock knock... Al: Brah that’s enough!!! ... the most concerned I’ve ever heard al 😂
I had a 20v AW11 a long time ago, best car I ever had! I wish I never sold it,
Voice over gold Al , your disdain is projected perfectly
"has it ever been on a hoist?"
Missed opportunity for
"Bro, do you even lift?"
Man this car has clearly had a sordid past.
Al: How does this thing even run?
Me: How has this thing not burnt to the ground?
How funny would it be to have Marty come up to help with his ever increasing fabrication skills and MR2 knowledge. Paying back for all the help over the years. Alan can just step back and do the video and voiceovers
Aw11 with a quality 20v build, he'll yeah! will be watching this for sure!
Al came around on the Iron Lion, can't see him calling this a Ferrari though
For some reason I feel the need to get some “toolpro” tools ... lol
And some lemon squash.
You have become victim of marketing bro ;)
Yeah i was wondering how much ripco had to pay them to drop Milwaukee
They're actually not terrible, I've got a few things I use fairly often and am not easy on n they've held up well. I just got em cos I need it then and I still have em
You can tell Al totally loves this. Commentary is brilliant! Toyota X1/9 Fiero! 😂
Job's not done until you've cleaned up! Keen to see what happens with this wee beast!
“Fiat X19 with reliability” 🤣😂🤣
Marty is gonna love all the hate Al has been throwing towards mr2s 😂🤦♂️ .. or mrpoo
not really sure Marty was too fond of his example. a few telling put downs during his fight with it. that example has nearly put him off them I think.
Al please keep commentating for all future videos! This is absolutely incredible!
4AGE 20V engine was a awesome engine in it's day as I swap one into a old mk1 escort an it was a real fun car to drive after that.
Too right !
"Boost Ants" (Y)
"Extra clearance for more horse power"
Lmao I died when he said that
I reckon Al dishes out more natural banter behind the camera. Love it.
Good to hear Alan on the other side of the Mic and camera for a change. His quick wit and dry humour is what this build needs. Woody does a great job of the editing work too. Great team work fellas, the banter and humour is just a bonus, and I laugh harder when my so called mechanic mates don't get the joke.
Sounds like a k20/k24 swap is more in order...
It needs a turbo for safety!! Should be in law.
High rev NA is equal to safe-T.
Needs a v6 with a safety turbo, I've heard several times that camry motors fit with minimal persuasion
I think thats done on the sw20 and not the aw11 ,i think
Al was BRUTAL in this video! He really hates MR2s!!
It's great to see a mid-engine/RWD car on the channel. This is arguably the best drivetrain layout of all time. And if you need help, I hear Marty is a pro on MR2s ;-D
Do some Initial D engine, make it rev to 10k RPM.
lol i doubt he wants to spend 15,000 dollars on a 4ag
Would a turbocharged hayabusa engine fit? That'll get past 10000 rpm 😁
@@daveverdonschot7956 The nitro engine from my RC car would fit & do over 25,000 rpm. Doesn't mean it'd be any good though.
We found where COVID-19 originated from, that boot 😂
I have a weakness for these cars. I learned how to drive a manual in an 85 model back in highschool. I absolutely love the 4age platform as well. They are especially good when you mate the 16 valve bigport head to a 1.8 7afe block and throw some boost at it.
I've owned aw11's for 25 years. Love them!
And the 4ag!
Al's commentary is priceless... keep it coming!!
Needs a 7age 20v
Maybe you could call it "project splinter" after your little rodent mate 🤔😉
I like the change up with Al narrating. Nice job.
So many classic Alanisms in this video, "If only there was somewhere else to find earth in a car made out of steel." Love it!
Love it when alan does the voice over. Great episode. Always fancied a mk1 mr2 of some description. Cant wait to see how the build goes!
Turbo Yodas voice over is just awesome entertainment
Love it, N/A big cam high compression screamer. Now that's a hot sauce!
Grumpy, Sarcastic Al voiceovers are my new favorite thing.
