Sorry - I fail to see how sticking a comic on your wing is "pushing the boundaries"....

I have some respect for these guys because of the hands on approach, but this car sucks teh hairy balls, and only appeals to honda fanbois it seems

i think people missed the point of this car. Marty & Moog's season finale builds are always built with a certain amount of piss-taking (literally Moog's case) and satire. Just look at the TRD Laser and their Civic build.

In this case, the satire is less obvious because this is the fashion nowadays. But you can see the guys aren't taking this thing too seriously. Look at Moog constantly saying this is "what the kids are doing" and "the internet told me to" throughout the episode.

I'm still hoping for a final season eposide where they build the ultimate bogan commodore...

Would be pretty easy & cheap to do I reckon.

1) Buy cheap VN commodore

2) Chop the springs

3) Buy a set of 20"chromes from bob jay for the back + retain a set of factory steel wheels for the front

4) Buy some clear tail lights off + Unit/Skin etc etc sticker off ebay

5) Drill some holes into the exhuast for that epic V6 noise

6) Add the chev bage at the back (leave holden badge on front) for the final touch...

Any other steps I missed?

The chromies should be on the front of the VN with stockies on the rear for crazy single peggers or if you want to be a pro drifter welded diff for when you want to enter it in the D1GP

Thank you, I couldn't be bothered trying to explain it but you have done it for me.

I really enjoyed this episode and MCM is by far my fav channel on youtube

I disagree. There were elements of satire in there but their closing comments and interviews lead me to believe that they thought that build was cool. They then add a bit of satire to the program so they can sit on the fence, see peoples reactions and if many people hate it MCM say they were just taking the piss. Episode is fail.

I like the fact they are from the area I grew up in and as a previous poster said the DIY aspect of MCM is great but they destroy cars that a young fella on his Ps would love and modify. Hacking a Subaru Vivio in half was a travesty. I would love one of them right now.

Pffft... At least there not getting drunk and wrapping them around poles. Do you have any idea how many second hand cars there are in the market?? They are entertaining hundreds of thousands of people and using a few cars out of the millions on the road.

Quite a few of their cars have been sold onto new owners who absolutely love them.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
