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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
