In this episode we get the MX-6 running and see if if was worth the pain and effort after the quick fix up snowballed. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Go easy on the background music bro
Constructive criticism...please don't make the montage music SO much louder than the dialog. I have to keep turning my volume up and down throughout the video. Please and thank you. :)
After not getting the hint from comments mentioning this on almost every video for the past couple years I think they believe as this is what they do for a living they know what's best and their viewers don't know shit.
nanna says it brings back a lot of memories and then looks at the back seats lol nice
Loving this. I had one of these nutso turbo MX6's remember it fondly. Then I traded up to a blue S14. Had that now for 23 years, and have just finished a near bare shell rebuild over three years focusing on suspension and making her a beautiful street car again, much like Jet 200 by the alternate reality.
The new owner will be stoked after the amount of maintenance been done on this will feel like a very fresh well kept old car.
I wish I could afford my first car today; a GTR-XU1. In 1988 I bought it for $7,000. I eventually got a TX5 Turbo, same-same. Loved the family touch at the end.
I'm so sad to see it go. But I totally understand, when you have so many cars and a chance to sell it to someone that's going to love it, you should.
I hope the kid and his dad end up coming to some of your events! it would be awesome to continue the story!
Good morning,
Thank you for your video, it was also my first car 😁. But a 1989 first half and with the steering wheel on the left since I'm from Montreal. I have some really good memories (not my budget 🤣) and one of those is with my paternal grandmother. It was my parents' wedding anniversary and she had come from Quebec City in a BMW 525 with my aunt's partner and I was driving her to the restaurant and after two blocks she asked me to stop my car!?! She said 👍🏻 to the other cars and let them all pass, then she told me that her daughter's boyfriend was very annoying with that big BM🤣. She asked me to do what her husband did in their youth and give her a real race! So how can I not listen to my grandmother 🤷🏻♂️. So I took a little detour via the highway after adjusting the seats and I drove it twice at 160 km/h 😏😃(limit 100 😒in Canada).
When we arrived at the restaurant everyone was worried and relieved at the same time to see their mother's huge smile 😃.
That was her last visit, so yes I wasted a fortune and impossible hours in that car BUT what a memory 😁✌🏼♥️
P.S.: here in Canada after the 1st half, they became mixes of Ford and Mazda and the following year they completely changed the model 🤷🏻♂️(and mine came with a suspension with 3 levels of hardness and multi-point adjustable seats🤩)
Thanks again, Rémi V😅✌🏼♥️🏎️
Love this.
I honestly am a little tired of seeing 4 digit power figures everywhere, and of dirty projects boosted to hell then wrecked for the lulz.
Not too keen on the music though.
Awesome job guys! Can't wait til the next project or the continuation of an existing project!!
Most importantly, I hope you gave your mum a big cuddle!
Loved every second of this build. Stoked on these smaller fixer uppers 🙏
Need to find a Pulsar ET Turbo
Loving these videos, and its nice to get to know you both a bit better in the videos
Great job mate. Have been watching this build and look forward to watching this video in full tonight.
andrew never disappoints, always good content no matter what the car, even what most consider a "boring MX6"
You guys have inspired me to get my mx6 on the road. Still started after 10 years sitting :)
Great episode! Smiled the entire time! The smile it brings to others!!
Thats mint hope they have fun with it
I'm getting torque steer burnout flashbacks man I miss these things
ah, similar to what happened to me. my 92 accord was running water in radiator since i bought it so i decided to get it flushed and coolant put in it for summer. brown water came out and the water pump decided to commit after the new coolant was in. Decided to also do a timing belt kit at the same time. At least i don't have to worry about water pump and timing belt for ages now
This was the kind of car i would have picked as a kid as a beginner car in the original grand turismo on my playstation 1 everything back then with a turbo was extra cool.😉👍✌️
My first car was a gemini coupe 1975. 4 speed manual.lol I'd like to get my hands on one now
Talking about first cars I still have mine and have had it going on 8 years now old classic 1984 celica ra65 lift back unfortunately not running and can barely find parts but love it and never gunna get rid of it
this car has 2 rego?
"5.02" ele.26l "5.08" NA -426
???
Top content guys. The new music gives me a headache though.
Such fun cars was so looking forward to the mods you were gonna do.😞
I ended up with a totals of 5 in my lifetime. I once had one put a chip and turned the boost control to 18 psi and it was lighting up second gear. Only did it for two pulls then turned boost back down before any damage. It had so much midrange pull but nothing up top due to small turbo. But makes me wanna get one again and give it some power with the right mods done the right way.
Maybe your next project will be a Cordia 🤞
AA and AB were Very fun cars with a catback and boost controller back then.
I would love to had seen you guys modify this suspension turbo ecu and boost and see what it could have done but i guess its going to a good home
Just plain cool. 👍
Great content! Maybe the music was a tad loud at times compared to the talking.
Your comments about nostalgia are spot on!
Great car!
Dam I'm alil sad ur selling it and but it's going to be a good Father son project. Was wanting to see y'all mod different cars.
My first car was a 240z. Still not sick of it.
Would be great to touch base with the new owner in around 12 months and see how it’s progressed. Still miss my ‘91 MX-6 Turbo!! : )
So easy to change lanes...
Just floor it in 1st or 2nd or 3rd and the torque steer drags you over!
The m-x6 was my first car 9 out of 10 fun car
my 1st car i bought was a geo metro...suzuki swift...3 banger 5 cyclinder.
I would have liked to see you do a basic mods episode exhaust, front mount and tune to see how it turned out but that's OK onsold to a good cause.
We wanted to, but logical decision. It would have snowballed massively
Would love to see a cost breakdown and exactly how much it would cost to do something like this
Sold before the nostalgia wears off... Recently sold a VW Beetle to a guy that was looking for it for 22 years... Had to make his life better (now a family project). I've never driven a car that made me feel like an accountant, but after I drive my Miata I crave fixing someone's hair... ;)
Actually cool story, really 👍
The walk around and music after the polish feels like it should be something like wargtr
Put a dump back exghuast.... Dyno it
Very wholesome
Music fits perfectly with the ol girl 😄
When do the mods start or even better period correct mods
Nvmd saw the end
Still missing the air suspension...
I've owned 65 cars since I was 14 and I'm 37 now, but I've never owned a Mazda, unless you count my 1990 Ford Festiva (which was made by Mazda, but also had Kia stickers under the chassis for some reason). I've ALWAYS wanted Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazdaspeed 6.
Time to get a real Mazda then. Get a rotor my friend.
I've been racking my brain trying to think of what that car was called here in the States...all I can think about is either Mazda 323 or 626...but I've never heard of MX-6.
It's still MX-6..Sister to the Probe GT. Fun cars for sure
Hahahah straight to olympic park
Plates say N/A, what a sleeper
Up the f2t!
Next project Laser TX3 turbo
Good luck finding one for cheap though.
@@daniel.s8126 i agree but I'm sure he could afford it haha
4:44 music, can you delete that sound track altogether?
Other than that, great stuff and thanks for the videos !
What you've done with the mx6 is: seeked closure, and as human beings this is what we do.
BUT, you picked up a 10/10 on the way...happy endings.
Well done
You sold a car? I’ve heard of such things but have never done it before. I should probably sell off some of my past projects. Nah I’ll get collect more.
It is strange isn't it.
We sold the the WRX as well so we could afford the new GR Yaris. Two cars out and one car in is even stranger.
@@MotiveVideo Wow, I didn't think you would sell the Subaru.. New content keeps things interesting though.
Can you please do a video of your misso going full tilt in your gtr when it’s done please haha
Not gonna lie had doubts with this series. This ep really turned it around. Wish they were 2x the length, less montages more shit talking and working.
Needs a bigger wuhan war whistle
Andrew Hawkins has a mom?!😳 so you weren’t developed in a GT-R factory? My life is a lie!
Restrain yourself with the music mate
Going off your experience with this, should people buy cars off nostalgia then? I'm currently looking at 70's Ford's and think I'll be bored behind a pathetic pinto engine again
If you've got the cash and connections go for it mate, 100%
Looks slow, my mx6 gt turbo use to rip
It’s stock. They’re slow stock
@@MotiveVideo mine was bone stock too but it use to haul ass, I mean it wasn’t a dragster or anything but for sure quicker than the one in this video
Music made me not watch this episode.
