Drifting a Toyota MR2 Spyder at Nikko Circuit! 1ZZ Midship Engine to its test! 

Future classic, at the moment they are so cheap!

yeah i think so too, alot of fun i wasnt expecting at all👍

I’m not sure about cheap since they are around 15k now

omg they r alot cheaper in jpn😬😬😬

@@heymanrobbie that car became a fast lightweight car can swap with 2ZZ engine

Hey would you mind sharing your mods? I'm thinking about the MWR turbo kit for the 1ZZ and the Kaaz 1.5 LSD in the far future.

its definately a fun car to drive

i think it means the car has good balance in the back with whatever suspension thats on there and also the tires were crappy, but my friene who used to drift these heavily told me all 4 crappy tires is the way to go on this car, its gonna b interesting but definately a fun car to drive, im super excited👍👍👍

I’m in the same boat! My parents got this car for us back in 08 and now all I want to do is dump money into my dream car.

i love oddball cars🤙🤙🤙

🤙🤙🤙🤙

man its gonna b a slow process but hopefully i can get into swapping it or supercharging it🤙

its time to get one🤙🤙🤙

The Spyder is more like the AW11 than the SW, I love mine, still regret selling my AW11 20 years ago

yeah i never thought i would own one but here she is🤙🤙🤙

its gonna take a while but hopefully i can get around to all that🤙

hey hey arigatogozaimasu, i love any kind of cars🤙🤙🤙

@@heymanrobbie Konnichiwa Robbie 👊 hai 🤙Jamata ✌️sayoonara 🙏🇦🇺🇯🇵

thanks for watching, this will b one of my unfinished projects but will hopefully do more to it in the near future, so much fun😀😀😀

😂😂😂😂😂

nice, good choice to have those cars👍👍👍

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

yeah i think once i do more to it its gonna go through tires😂😂😂

@@heymanrobbie OOF

get them now prices r rising, btw thanks for watching both🤙🤙🤙

Toyota made a huge mistake not giving the MR2 the 2ZZ and only gave it to the Celica. My theory is that they didn't want to compete with the Lotus Elise/Exige. Still the MR2 is an awesome car and lots of fun even when not drifting.

@@Zeriel00 I completely agree. Even though it’s peaking at around 300hp for anything that won’t explode, the 2ZZ is still SO light and only ads like 15-20lbs. The 1ZZ is kinda a crappy engine. I had the Celica GT which was the lower trim with the 1ZZ. It was unfortunately a very unreliable engine; and mine like many others suffered from a worn piston pin.

@@justaformer11b95 Oh thats weird, from what Ive seen and heard the 1zz-fe is one of the most reliable engines. Its used by the Corolla and I have one with close to 300k miles and minimal maintenance (was owned by my sis). The early MR2s had an issue with the pre-cat getting into the conbustion chamber and burning oil but that was fixed with the 2003 and later models. The 1ZZ is weak but it has some advantages. It can be boosted easily without needing forged internals and Ive seen them go past 300HPs. You can also build them to go much higher unlike the 2ZZ that is capped at around 300. It also has a much more usable power band with low end torque unlike the 2zz that you have to rev as much as possible, its also extremely reliable and super economical. Maybe it was really slow with the Celica but with the MR2 is not terrible because it only weights 2,200lbs. I guess it wouldve been great for the car to be more powerful out of the gate but I cant really hate the 1zz since I have 2 lol. I guess we got to count our blessings lol. Did you get an MR2?

@@Zeriel00 you do bring up a very good point. My celica was an 01’ and because of the oil burning problem and the spirited driving like many celica owners, by the time it was about ten years old, it was in bad shape. Admittedly I was naive and ignorant, as a young driver, thinking that a Toyota wouldn’t burn oil like it did. Which it didn’t do until it’s last days. Had I really appreciated what I had, I would have not sold it and would have put it in the barn. But I sold it to get a 4x4 which was a requirement for me at the time. Unfortunately, I never have gotten another sports car since. I live where trucks are a necessity and probably won’t have another sports car for years to come. You’ve definitely warmed me up to the idea of looking again. 🍻 Edit: my Celica was an awesome car. It certainly didn’t feel slow. Lol. It was faster around autocross than my brother’s 350z, but that could have just been the drivers. 😅

thanks for watching, i thought it was fairly easy, just gotta drive the car how it wants to b driven👍

yes, he said 3 months on crutches😢😢😢

oh wow didnt know that!👍

werrrrrrd🤙

@@heymanrobbie please make video for the mr2

yeah i went and watched there vids the other day to find out more about them🤙

i need to go check that out👍👍👍

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

nice, i will slowly figure this car out hopefully meet some other owners👍

wow thats cool, maybe because the roads here r small and not much high speed limits? definately want a lsd to enjoy the full potential🤙

@@heymanrobbie I think you're right. The speed limit on the highways is 130 km/h in a lot of country in Europe. I fully agree. This car is a lot of fun for cheap.

i think prices will rise so gotta get them now🤙

UK kit for VW 20v engine it fits in the bays real well you can remove inlet manifold in place. Or kit from the us for the 2ar Fe Toyota engine with new camshafts to take it away from the Atkinson engine back to Otto cycle.

fun to drive and this car makes me cuter, love it😂😂😂

oh yeah im plannin on it🤙🤙🤙

@@heymanrobbie let's gooo!

hahaha beats r cool too🤙🤙🤙

i think i did, and maybe a bigger problem with all these unfinished projects😂

😂😂😂

自分でもびっくり、超楽しみです💪

yeah it had 2.2kg air pressure all the way around on some old low grip falkens

@@heymanrobbie oh! So normal pressure! Thank you! Makes it even more impressive! 🥰 Can't wait for more episodes thank you!

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

@@soru2186 また購入しました

@@heymanrobbie この動画のドリフトではEブレーキは使ってるんですか？

@@soru2186 リアグリップないのであまり使わなかったです

@@heymanrobbie そうなんですね！ミッドエンジンはドリフトしにくいと聞いてましたが綺麗にトラクションを無くしていたのでびっくりしました！

hahaha u r right🤙🤙🤙

I know!! I’ve wanted one ever since owning an 01 celica.

yeah i just found out how fun they r and got a real good deal on this one🤙🤙🤙

thank u so much for the support🙏🙏🙏

man thinkin of tryna do both🤔

yeah definately a fun car, hopefully i will keep it long enough to do stuff to it👍

🤙🤙🤙🤙

😂😂😂😂😂

The 2zz corollas are not very well known and are damn good fun with the 6spd manual

hahaha yeah slightly tight but its big enough for me, its easy to slide out but quickly tries to spin out once it goes to bigger angle

🇦🇺?

@@tanboi1105 yup

@@somegi9 same thing here bro🇦🇺, the mr-s and the sw20 mr2 are my dream cars but sw20 has gone up crazy in price and only way to get manual mr-s is to do a swap or import from 🇯🇵

@@tanboi1105 hey man, america’s got PLENTY mt spyders, I say look into importing one from here!

If you have a grand, can easily get an smt to a 6 manual, we looked at that before finding our manual.

i will one of these days👍👍👍

i will in the future😀

thanks foe watching🤙🤙🤙

yeah had to get rid of it a while back😢

hopefully will b sometime soon🤙

@@heymanrobbie would be cool to see what you can do w this one

i know i know😬😬😬😬😬

😂😂😂😂😂😂

i got lucky on this one bought it for 2500 on yaj🤙

@@heymanrobbie dang well how long till its for sale haha

hahahaha maybe soon, if i find another one😂😂😂

@@heymanrobbie your giving me ideas and i have to finish my gs your a bad influence on me lol

he said have to keep weight off for 3 months🤪

no lsd, just wondering how different its gonna b with one, looking forward to it

@@heymanrobbie my dream has been re-invigorated lol. I did control arms coilovers and some axles rated for more horsepower for reliability but I just haven't had a chance to actually try and slide it cuz we don't have a lot of events in my area. Looking forward to giving it a shot. Cheers man nice work

hahaha no street stuff for me but i would love to😀

🤙🤙🤙

😀😀😀

😂😂😂i love them easy to talk and breath
