MR2 CONTENT BABY!!! LETS GO
LETSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🗿
That fitment is incredible. That is probably the best job I've seen in quite some time.
APR makes some pretty impressive parts. And you pay top dollar for it 😂
The bodyshop is where u will get that massaging till its near perfection.
The power of being filmed by a YT channel with over 1M eyes on your shop.
Really? The panels still seem a bit crooked at some corners.
@@eduardvandijk3431 Some people have a tendency to exaggerate. Just have a look at 12:12 and 12:20.
This against Mia will be an interesting race. 2 tiny 2wd cars with twice the power they came with and a ton of aero.
Big Ben's MR2 is slowly turning into a Porsche
Funny story this reminded me of. I used to have a neighbor who owned an MR2 Spyder. Of which, he replaced all the Toyota badging with Porche ones. And because there weren't many car enthusiasts around here, most people took it at face value, which I found hilarious.
😂
Porsche killer*
This is mid engine so more like a Lotus
A worse Porsche
Good to see Marc in the video! Excited to see how the CaMR-Sy is going to fair against the 2023 GLTC field. Lots of vettes this year and the perennial K-powered contenders.
That cage work is absolutely beautiful. That body kit tho...oof. At least you can fit the wheel size you need.
The joy you bring to a LOT of us every saturday morning is priceless. When you feel like "This is just content for YT", let me remind you: Your art lights up and upbrings lives! Thank you GG!
Really did not expect you to go the direction you have with the MR2 but I'm loving it.
13:03 Ben be double cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon 🥵😂
Makes me happy to see all those kids in that shop KICKN ASS!!!!thank you.for the hope...
As a technician who doesn’t look at his phone but will auto play KZhead videos, your background music mixed with various mechanical noises is like going to a spa for me. Please don’t let up on it
The engineering on the cage fabrication is amazing. Came a long way with tech yet he’s still on top of his work to make the perfect cage 💯 Also great video from GG yet again, I always look forward to these Saturday drops
I know right. Don't judge a fabricator by their garage sign. Impressive stuff.
it needs a big WANGGG
The key to a successful project car is to have tons of extremely talented and generous buds.
So cool seeing you and Ben last week. The car really rips around the track. Can't wait to see more content.
Hell yeah! Good to see the mr2 back on the screen!
I love how much effort you put in the mr2! Keep it up ❤
Solid production gold. I think we would all really dig some longer form content. Much love guys!
Ben waiting on the return of the MR2. I don't run one but to me the MR2 is the Japanese 914 or 550 spider. The perfect grown-up go-cart.
We love mr2 content 🙌🙌
Jeez I'm needing episode 2 like a fiend, already loving this series.
Need MORE MR2/Marc content and Colabs! ❤
This build is an inspiration! Love this series!
Oh wow this is so awesome! Can not put into words how hyped I am for this
I absolutely cannot wait to see this painted/wrapped
Always a better day when you guys post a new video and seeing Marc pop up was a pleasant surprise 👍 can't wait to see what you two have planned
Mr2 look dope with a kit 👌
Yesssssss. Always wanted a proper build with the MR2!
Really feeling the Hot Version MR-S vibes on this one!
best offroad channel on youtube
Simply fantastic
Great episode and always so good to see Marc in any content. Love his character and jokes and professionalism in his work.
Mr2 spyders look great with a low profile spoiler. Also Ben should do something about the chicken wire vents on the body kit (paint black?)
ART
As a widebody MRS owner myself, this was amazing to watch. I don't have the same kit but love seeing the quality of yours.
Here i am struggling to get an ac powersteering civic ferio kswap build in north america and you guys putting porsche gt3 money into an old mr2. Fantastic work pushing forward innovation on this platform and staying true to the brands heart. Much luck and thanks for the content!
I like how G&G takes the time to showcase the shops that help them build their cars. I've noticed over the past 5-6 years they do that. We need more of this type of "give credit were credit is due" in the automotive industry. Whether its the shop that helps them weld in cages, or Ronnie who built the 4G63, Andy with ASM & the K20 build, or the guy in VA/Maryland (forgot his name) who dyno tuned the MR2. Its a good showcase of the shops skills & moves the auto industry forward.
MR2 madness yes!
Oh shit! As soon as you see Marc you know its about to get crazy.
Heck yeah Marc is back!
Fun to watch Rich and Kal working together! Artists
Can't wait to see what color the wrap is going to be!
Marc is the best I love his character!
Nice kit! Great video guys!
Yay, Marc is back!
Look insane 🔥🔥🔥
Lets go love the mr2 and frankensteinmotors
Oh man, can't wait to see you both side by side in a GLTC race!
Kei car for "wide bodies" :) Seriously though this is a welcome build and car that is on my bucket list for no reason other than I like the idea of the MR2 Spyder.
wow, that is a massive improvement. very nice
Shoutout to Marc 💪
Yaaaaa!!!!! This is sweet!!!
sick looking piece of machinery!
can't wait for another episode of this series, been waiting for the mr2 to hit the track in its finished form
YES!!!!!! MORE MARC!
I had a W30, I loved it.
FINALLY MR2 CONTENTTTTTTT
I know making these videos are alot of work but man it still looks like fun. Great shit as usual dudes.
The cosmetics seem to have fit well which was shocking,but that cage is epic! I can't wait to see more,please G&G keep them coming
Such a high tech roll cage 😮
Big Ben !! Nice change from the Evo .
4:31 I can't tell if Kal is tiny or if that's just what happens when a normal man stands next to Ben
FINALLY!!!
Love it
My favorite build on the channel
The wide-body will help, since it lets you safely run wider tires, which should help a lot with both keeping it steady in corners and also with braking performance.
That body kit is giving me some nfs underground vibes and i love it.
I was considering selling my MR2.. but this got me excited to build mine again!
Have a red Apr mr2 spyder turbo and it totally transforms car to standard looking to Ferrari beauty. It will look amazing once it’s done. Also don’t forget to use the Apr carbon splitters as it’s icing on the cake.
The cage is awesome and that kit looks good, the wheels and height is pretty funny 😂
It’s going to look so good once it’s on a good set of wheels and tires and wrapped
I’ve been waiting so long to see this kind of content great stuff
Huzzah for Mr. Two!!!
Let’s go Marc!!
More mr2 content! More Marc!! LFG!!!
Always awesome seeing my boy artsem doing his artwork.. Cage he built for my E46 is topnotch
theres a bodykit that makes them look like a mini carrera gt, that would've been funny to see around a track
At 5:30 when they are just standing in a box talking to to each other. That reminded me of SpongeBob and Patric😂
I had a really good laugh when you transitioned to the car being finished 😆 I know it's not done but hilarious. I can't wait to see it lowered with some appropriate wheel! 🔥
I’m keeping hope for the vision but I can’t help but think it’s ugly rn 😂😂😂 can’t wait for more
The return of Frankenstein motor works!!!! Great episode. This car is going to be sick!!!
Frankenstein is in the house! Let's go!
Marc at the ending like a MCU post credit scene
Saludos desde cd Juárez Chihuahua México
I saw you guys with the mr2 in Wisconsin at a kwik trip and was wondering where you were going lol, that explains it
Hugging my Luke body pillow extra tight tonight after an MR2 episode without him in it
I love my mr2 man, its just such a fun car. Every time i see mr2 content on the channel it warms my heart hahaha. Hopefully you are enjoying the car as much as i enjoy my stock car :')
This is awesome. Now, all it needs next is some big ol' 18's and a gt wing to complete the look...
looking at an mr2 this weekend such a sick car hope its good enough to buy it
you guys are nuts and i love it. just found a stage 2 bumper for my baby
Do all those openings and ducts have a purpose or are they just there for show/just in case? And whats up with those closed off NACA ducts by the rear tires?
As someone from indiana who’s been trying to find a shop to install my widebody on my subie coupe… i think i know which shop i’m going to now
gears and gasoline we gonna do a chill one. installs a cage and bodywork
This car would be crazy if you did a v6 3.5 GR engine swap from the camry or even a cheap rav4 gr engine
Rav4 v6 has the same 2gr. I have one with Marc's headers sitting in my office still waiting for me to find time to install them
I still remember when you first got the car looking like Ironman mr2😂. I’m so excited it’s back
When Marc shows up, you know cool things are gonna happen. 😎
A long time to see progress on this build
I do agree that the MRS is under appreciated. I don't know why when unironically it is almost ready to track out the box, AND LOOKS GOOD, these goobers who say it looks lame can suck it. These cars are absolute BEASTS, balance it great for a mid engine, light as shit, small wheel base (which would make you think its snappier but nah she a beast), and lastly, the 1ZZ is a good ass engine that can take one heck of a beating and its simple to modify on top of that. If I didnt already spend my life savings and left kidney on my old 86 I wouldve gone with the MRS in a heart beat.
Oh my god those after shots are hilarious. I’m sure it’ll come together well though.
Glad to see that you've taken my advice and decided to build the MR2 into the track car.
