What shape is the rocket!?!?
Yyyyuuusssss playing the intercooler ❤️❤️
When is the giveaway?
Go watch wts skyline brother..fkn savage
We get the Yaris in Canada, just not the GR
I’m so early that Rake still loves it!
👍
Oh, the god old times !
When did Rake last love it
Holy sh*t that’s an old reference 😂
A true classic
I'm really disappointed in MCM accepting a sponsorship from MCM. I hear those guys do strange and unnatural things with intercoolers.
and feet....
And goats
I was confused about the intercom let comment until 3 mins in…. Haha
And unicorns
Ardillas
Love the wheels. I'm actually kinda digging the Yaris content and I never thought I'd EVER say those words in that order lol.
Neither did we!
"We know you are here for vw up content" said noone ever! But some GR Yaris! No we are talking
I'm actually content digging the Yaris?
Those wheels are just perfect.. completely captures the rally feel of the car and the gold.. works amazingly well
agreed!
Gold wheels rally car? Only rally cars i know with gold wheels are subarus,all the others are white.
@@adriigonzaalez1788 some advan rally/ tarmac cars use gold wheels too
I wouldn't say perfect, the wheels themselves are definitely cool but a different set would've looked way better on the car
If I could tell you the Lottery Numbers....... I'd tell you those Driveshafts are going to Rust in no time.
No matter how many times I try, I can never seem to get a intercooler to sound like a harp the way Moog does 😂.
its all about how you finger the harp
Moogs a musician though.
That's what happens when you use cheap ebay intercoolers smh
You need to tune it first
If your intercooler doesn't sound like a harp before you put it in, your pshhh pshhh will be out of tune.
I love how much thought Toyota put into this car. It's literally a lego car. Awesome nugget!
Most Toyota s are like Lego, very easy to remove and install things😃
Same as gt86/gr86, it's for the people.. the golf r is ment to show off what vw can do, toyota just provides a blank canvas and encourages modifying it to do what you want
Rally genes prob
Most cars are built like this, when it comes to adding factory options.
This is classic mcm. Humour, good times, good advice, and some wholesome speak. This is exactly what the world needs now. Thanks a lot guys, made this bloke smile and I'm sure a lot of others too.
MCM gotta be the most heartfelt car content channel on this platform :') this and Noriyaro :D
Bad Obsession Motorsport
M539 ... Sreten is doing great stuff with BMWs over in Frankfurt
You guys are so damn wholesome, I thought I was coming to watch a car get modded and left realizing I'd attended a therapy session
I think a lot of people need to hear that these days. I know a lot of my mental health is subjected to me not seeing my mates. I've seen it a lot more it other people as well!
How is that chronic foot fetish going btw?
The end of the video was honestly so true. Its great to see them mentioning that as it really is that simple to have a check in and talk to mates, doesn't have to be some special birthday expensive holiday, just washing your cars and chatting shite with a greasy kebab does the same thing
marty-"It's old and underpowered"...moog-"how bout the car though mate" (that took me a second) 😂😂
28:24 I thought he was replying to marty saying "that's fixable" as in the STI is not fixable.
@@debrisbit STI also as in sexually transmitted disease. Double entendre in referring to his manhood as "old and underpowered".
That advice at the end is such a reality check, it’s so precious. I’ll never get tired of watching you two create content 🤍
It's amazing the difference between Toyota and VW in their approach to making a performance car. Toyota seems to take the simplest path that works properly, VW, in typical European style, add sensors to everything. I guess that's why I love Japanese cars, they're only as complicated as they need to be, engineered to last, and end up being worth more after 10 or so years, based on the fact that you don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage to keep them on the road.
Lol my 'costly' VW has been abused to hell and back for 390K (340K of which was done by me) and has been through ONE driveshaft. The amount of 'proper/mens performance' cars it has roasted is hillarious so $1.5K in parts hardly seems expensive compared to my last Japanese performance car which ate CV's for brekfast every other week and was definitely slower..annnd less enjoyable to drive 😏🤣
@@bigredranga69 What Japanese performance car?
@@bigredranga69 more like homologation car
Have you ever actually owned a Japanese performance car? Just curious
@@teagueomalley3720 yes, and will continue to do so. I know too many European car owners who have told me horror stories about parts pricing etc. The worst I have personally come across was 0² sensors on a Subaru
17:08 - My every trip to the parts store 😂 Good work boys, lovin the Yaris mods - Taz.
I miss those pure fun modding videos. Back to the roots. So fun to watch you work boys, keep it up on this awesome channel
Same!
You can tell Moog is a producer when he describes the "sustain and decay" of the sound😂 love it
I'm amazed on how all of these parts are literally, finally, after all those years, tru bolt-on mods. A world has become a better place since 2008.
I'm so hyped for the Yaris content, but Moog knocking over the front bumper and then seeing it still sitting face down on the floor in later shots triggered me so badly! 😂
Heaven forbid that the bumper get bumped 😬
@@sethmoyer 😂
When any "team" working on GR always best have ..DOKI DOKI MORNING...as a backing track just a triple thing and never forget the secret code is ...Cheeks, Ears, Dimples ...not a cult
Never thought I'd say I like a Yaris 😁
Well, the GR Yaris is technically only part Yaris. The rear end comes from the Corolla instead.
@@colehartel7206 Actually not a corolla....Its from the C-HR or Yaris cross
We all feel ashamed about this....
Nice advice at the end of this episode. And that was exactly what I did … not washing cars, but getting on the road with friends and discover new regions. Loved it to be out again and meet them.
As a car mechanic, I really love this video. Clear explanations to the viewers and really useful upgrades to make the car better. Would love to see more videos like this! Keep going
Car mechanic? Sorry to hear about that mate, hopefully things get better for you…😢
as someone studying audio engineering, Moog describing the intake/exhausts ADSR make me happy lol
I love the little GR Yaris’ they are such a cool little car 👍
Yes, some might say it's now cooler after the airflow mods (I couldn't resist a dad joke)
Moogs advice about hanging with mates at the end is S tier! Love your work man! I really need to take that advice, working on your car by yourself is boring compared to with a mate!
I am so glad someone like MCM used MST performance parts. They are a random company from taiwan but they make really great intakes and I think they deserve recognition :)
So cool to see all of the different MCM nuggets and vehicles transform and change over time. Love the message at the end, get out there and connect with your mates and loved one :) Good on ya guys
It’s mad to see these lads go from pouring beer from different countries onto a golf to modding a gr yaris
Loving this! I'll be throwing a similar package onto my GRY in a couple of weeks. Truly amazing how everything is bolt-on and readily available after such a short time already.
hands down the best duo on the interwebs, television or pretty much anywhere at this point. y'all just crush it!
A trick for pre filling your oil or trans cooler: hold the hose up the connects to the high point of the cooler. use a funnel to fill it. Clamp it off with hemostats about 4”, 100mm, from the open end of hose. Connect it. Unclamp. Prolly unnecessary but I always get paranoid about cavitation when the air hits the pump and the uncertainty of my fill level
My trick is simply take your spark plugs out 🤷♂️ You've got an oil pump, you may as well use it 🙂
@@UnitedKingdomRC but didn’t they say it was thermostatically controlled? If so it won’t take any oil until the engines hot no?
@@reefbloke your right you know! When I fitted my cooler I filled the cooler up best I could through one of the pipes, then fitted it as full as possible. I then cranked with no spark plugs until the oil pressure light went out The last bit of air would be purged out as the car approaches 70°c as it closes gradually, and has about a 10°c window I believe. I noticed no drop in pressure on the first drive, and I have dials that monitor the pressure, it has a preset alarm that beeps if I drop in pressure 🙂
Its crazy how up market this show has gone from when I started watching year back. Its amazing the cars they are able to modify now. So happy for your continued success MCM!
Loving the consistent support for people's mental health. Moog made a great point about human connection being what's actually important.
The end of this video was the best! I love the idea of getting together with your friends and unplugging from it all while working on cars!
I can''t help it. It gets me every time. I laugh out loud every time Martin says "In the bin!"
Lol, me too. When I first heard Marty say it, I spent the best part of a week finding things I needed to throw away and annoying the crap out of my wife by asking her "do you know where I'm going to put this?" "No, where?" "IN THE BIN!" funnier still, I've got 2 young boys and they found it hilarious and copied me, which also meant they kept their rooms tidy and instead of leaving sweet wrappers all over the place, they tidied up after themselves and annoyed the wife with me. Ahhh, good times.
I got to say, both of your new cars are freaking awesome, the styling, sound and overall quality is bloody brilliant, looking forward to seeing them on the track together, I don't care who wins, just hope they don't break, good luck MEN, have fun
This video reminds me of the mods I used to do on my FJ Cruiser.. so many Toyota original parts that I could put on. Wiring loom with included blanks for adding in switches for lights, etc. They really did think about the modification of the vehicle and it made things so much nicer..
best wheel/tire package i think i've seen on the show, ever. so stoked you guys are rocking the cup 2's these days.
Love that Marty still reps the workshop long sleeve shirt! I love mine and would love a new version of the shirt.
Great video! I am looking to get a Yaris for myself and was wondering about the variety of parts I can add to it. Also love that u tool the time to explain every bit because I am an absolute novice and this has helped tons. Big up!
I love at the end, where you said “reach out to some mates and wash a car”. Really touched me there to try to re connect with old friends
You never disappoint lads 👍
legit you're the only 1 KZhead channel which i would sit and watch the whole thing, entertaining and informative you lads are brilliant.
Awesome finishing message. Keep up with that vibe guys! Greetings from Argentina!
Hanging out with mates and washing our cars is something we have been doing for years now, we might not own the most flashy cars but an afternoon spent away from a screen to talk and laugh is an afternoon well spent.
Those wheels look insane, didn’t know they would suit the car so well
Really love the new wheels boys and all the new mods , bigger intercooler , big air intake , new hks exhaust system , new springs , new engine undertray , new brake ducts there will be a massive difference overall in performance handling grip and some difference in braking
Thanks David!
"IN THE BIN!" best MCM catch phrase of the last two years!
Another great video and what Moog said at the end about just washing a car and hanging out with some mates was a great message and philosophy for life. You don't need to be modding some amazing hottie to get the vibe of what Mighty Car Mods is all about.
The Yaris looks gorgeous!!!!🔥🧨❤️
Marty catching the guy riding the bike in the store out of his periphery is just fantastic.
I was really skeptical on replacing the wheels, but after seeing them you ablsolutely blew it out of the park. Well done fellas
The Yaris is turning out great guys, top job mates!
you say you have no special effects, how could you forget your best episode "Electric space wizard"
So excited for the GR Corolla here in the States but I would also be fine with a GR Yaris lol. Dealer markups and supply chain issues mean the new GR Corolla will be unavailable for many.
Yeah in Australia, the Yaris is like 60k and the Rallye is like 75k, I've only seen one in the wild so far. The Rolla will likely be around 80k and people prefer spending that kind of money on boring work utes like the Hilux for some reason.
It’s not coming to the UK 😢
Those wheels look great, really suits the car. Loving this series on the GR Yaris.
So happy about the Yaris content! I just got a call from my dealership that my GR is finally coming in July, super stoked!
Can’t wait for the track battle against Marty’s GR Yaris and MOOG’s Mk8 Golf R, now that they’re modified
Bit of a stacked comparison though - the cars are in totally different classes.
I think he will race the brz instead of the golf
@@Beer_Dad1975 yeah I get that, but it’s mainly because they did one with both cars stock (albeit the golf in that was a VW press car) and whether there would be a difference now that they’re modded
@@toastyhashbrown6657 no, on the mcm TV2 channel ou can watch the "battle" yarris vs golf already but from what i saw i think there is more to come
@@initial-t7443 maybe, we will have to wait and see.
At roughly 20:23 the advice offered should be very carefully looked into. If the vehicle is under warranty don't do it. The oiling system in vehicles is very specific. Oil pumps and oil passages are sized in a specific manner. They are not designed to pump and flow heavier/thicker viscosity oils.
Doesn't really hurt them tbh. I've a car that was designed for 5w/20, and I've been running 10w/60 for over 10 years with no issues whatsoever. Oil pumps are metal and ran by a metal impellor from the cambelt/timing chain, they wouldn't struggle at all.
I never thought the day would come where I'd say that gold mags look cool, but here it is. Yours are a match made in heaven. 👍
Highly respect these two goofs 🤘🏻
Are you sure about oil cooler position (inlet/outlet on bottom) ?
Nothing to worry about, once the thermostat opens it fills the cooler instantly.
Marty - "On this episode of Mighty Car Mods, we are ... modifying a car" Me - "WHAT, noooo"
11 years ago you were showing me how to zombie proof my car. I love seeing how far you guys have came! (this also makes me want to leave the US to get a GR yaris)
Lovely. Thank for picking this particular car. It’s a blast to drive on track. Looking forward for the Corolla GR😉
Now you've got the GR Yaris, the 'Up' needs to go "in the bin!"
Gotta love how they never be political and always promote good mental health etc and help charity's all the time good on ya guys aye appreciate you two we need more people like yous in the world and Moog is right that we need more human interaction in real life 1000%
Always love the harp noises on the intercoolers/radiators. This GR Yaris is pretty cool, too!
Loved the message at the end guys. Best part of the episode.
Ahhh yes.... the 3" exhaust on a small engine with a small turbo... that'll improve the power for sure. I remember that from 20 years ago so it must be true :D :/
The best exhaust for a turbocharged car is no exhaust. SO increasing diameter will help. The main improvement would be to get a hi flow downpipe, but MCM never seem to touch it likely due to emissions. You can get high flow catted downpipes though so that's an option.
@@liamcollister Maybe because high flow downpipes are ridiculously expensive in $$/bhp-gained terms. There are usually many mods with much better returns to be done before that gets to the top of the list. Unless one has infinite budget then do it all at once xD
@@chillybrit2334 downpipe is actually one of the better modifications for a turbo car. Massive flow improvement and helps reduce EGTs. A 200 cell catted downpipe isn't too expensive, not when you run a very well funded KZhead channel!
@@liamcollister Sadly I'm not a KZheadr just a peon, the budget is nil. Just thinking back to my days of modding (late 90s early 2K), we did 3" CAT back pipes with CAT delete if we could get away with it (domestic vs import) - the forum wisdom at the time was headers were somewhere further up the path. I should just shut up trying to apply "knowledge" from 2 decades ago to more recent vehicles. My bad.
I’m a weird Peugeot guy
Hehe same
This is so awesome guys. I'm a rally fan, a hatchback lover, hot hatch, turbocharged obvs. And I think the lil Yaris is Brilliant. Looks great, engineering is amazing. And it's expensive for a hatchback but worth it I think. Would love to have one one day. Love you guys keep the awesome videos coming ❤
great video lads, this build is chopping gorgeous!
As always guys, a couple of legends mighty modding a little nugget! Awesome
I love this channel. OEM+, one video, lot's of one liners, and *chefs kiss*🍝
Awesome choice of wheels and happy to see a wheel color other than black!
"Superlight weight saving, even though it's heavier!" just killed me. 🤣🤣
Every time you do a Yaris GR episode, I like it even more. It's a proper badass car and makes me even more upset we dont have them in the USA. Not that I could afford one but still it would be awesome to see one in person.
Excellent episode boys, love this Yaris stuff
Very nice to hear the super turbo music sneaking in! Also a GREAT OUTRO! Disconnecting from the media and reconnecting with humans is super important ❤️
Love this car, the mods and the wheels.... Superb!
The fact that added the bit at the end about mental health is really nice. Good work guys.
Love all the years of moog play the intercooler! KEEP IT UP buddy
Loving the new tunes, Moog - you've been busy! Can't wait to see where you gents take the mad Yaris next.
Love the message at the end. Cheers
Had followed them maybe 5 years back and randomly came back to this channel, man these guys have aged real bad!!
that wheel and tire combo 🔥🔥🔥
Car wash day with mates is legendary. Used to do this back in highschool and haven't stopped to think about it for 20 years! Must do
OG musics! So good to hear them again 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Excellent video, and excellent advice, much love for you guys
Love how it turned out with the wheels
One of the best wheel choices you guys hsve ever made.
I can't wait for the future of car modding!! Electric opens the ceiling on power vs size. 3d design and printing. Smarts. Digital monitoring and management. There's so much to be excited about!
Looks great lads! Well done 👏
Finishing note of the vid is spot on.
dude hell yeah! i just got my first shed and lot! ima have all my old friends come over fore some grillin and cars! couple of hoses, buckets and power washers! what an idea!
Awesome vid boys. That Yaris is looking mad, I so want to get one. Always been into VAGwagons but this looks like it will be way more fun.
Don’t ever change boys. Love your work 👍🤟
Working on cars with your mates is some of the best advice
Best 4WD channel on KZhead hands down. Loved this one fellas, wholesome.
hanging out with mates is the important part. i recently got a friend of mine over in a rent-a-hoist workshop near me to weld a hole in his mad honda cr-v. it was a blast to do an we talked about stuff in our past. i highly recommend human interaction. cheers guys
