Making A Slow Car Fast for $500 (Season Finale) 

Keeping with MCM tradition, our last episode of the year is out on Christmas Day. While Christmas is a day of celebration for a lot people, for many others it can be a difficult, lonely time particularly for those with broken families, severe financial stress, those dealing with the bush fire crisis or families dealing with the loss of a loved one. While we can’t fully understand what each person is going through, we want to acknowledge that for many people it won’t be the kind of Christmas we see on TV. Don’t worry about RU-vid videos of people getting new super cars and houses or $1M for Christmas. This stuff is not reality and certainly not a basis to compare your own situation. The best gift you can give anyone is your attention - keep it simple and don’t give yourself a hard time if your Christmas Day doesn’t look like the ads on TV (nobodies Christmas Day actually looks like that) Huge respect to all of the emergency services personnel and volunteers that are battling bush fires around the country. And for those that need some extra help, please check out the ReachOut website where there is free support for those in need. All the best for the end of 2019 and we hope you enjoy the episode. - MCM

Every youtuber: LoOK At ThIS CrAShED SupErCaaR I BoUGhT MCM: we put an average engine in a shopping trolley

buy a suzuki swift then call it taylor swift. Mod it and 1 v 1 with the yaris hilton

So it was actually a chuck engine light?

“If it doesn’t fit, we’ll put it all in the bin and buy a wrx” “Can we buy a wrx anyway?” Gold.

Yaris and corolla half cut prices just doubled.

"Let's stick it in.. then work out why it won't fit." Working on cars in a nutshell

Toyota sold a supercharged 1.8 Yaris in Switzerland in 2009... 160kW from the factory... 6 speed

“Imagine buying a used car and the owner not telling you all the fine details of its history” This describes every private party sale to anyone under 30

cheap projects = best projects

These guys are the exact combination of serious and funny that I like.

My wife has a yaris and I show her any video you do that mentions the yaris! I will not be showing her this video however and might have to tell her she has a check engine light i should fix over the weekend.

I love how this will cause plenty of Yaris owners deciding to do it up, remove the engine, put the new one in and keep it on jackstands for a year or two calling it the project car.

This is literally just Blue Turd 2.0

"I'm very very excited about 2020!" Well that didn't pan out quite as well as you hoped, did it?

"We can edit in a shot that has nothing to do with the build, but it looks cool." You guys are awesome ✌🏻👍🏻

Notification for this video: Best Christmas present ever

Your energy and authenticity continues to provide the most incredible content for us. We appreciate you MCM ❤

“We’re going to get a budget car and make it faster for as cheap as possible, as quickly as possible and as simple as possible” ENGINE SWAP!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Reminds me a lot of 90s VW. B3/B4 Passat, MK3 Golf/Jetta, Corrado... So many interchangeable parts, just like Lego.

Just pull the key antennea out, ziptire the Corolla key to the antennea and tuck it under the dash.

Next Episode: Ebay Turbo Corolla Powered Yaris

Merry Christmas to anyone scrolling down the comments. I hope you have a much better new year as well. 👍🏼

“What do we do tonight Marty?” “Same thing we do every night Moog, try to polish a turd” This was a great episode. Cheers guys. Merry Christmas.

Happy new yaris everyone

I've made a 2zz-fe engine fit in my gen 1 yaris autocross car and with that 30%LSD and 195 HP it was amazing. It weights around 800 KG

This is like a dystopian version of roadkill where V8s don't exist.

Moog: I mean, look at the severity of the crash Marty: I mustashe you a question.... Moog:...😐

So instead of just buying the engine from a Corolla they bought the entire front end of one? That’s very MCM. I like it...

I put a turbo on my US 1.5 version (1nzfe) and got to 162 HP on the dyno, but it ended up costing me as much as the car price once I got a new computer, and all the needed parts. After about a year I removed everything because it kept cooking the coolant lines; I think metallic or well-shielded coolant lines, or a turbo that only uses oil and no coolant would probably be a better choice. This is a great video! Thanks, guys!

Check engine light. Remove engine. No check engine light.

"What's it hitting over there?" "The car."

Kids who got a Yaris for their first car: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

It reminds me the origins of MCM working on cheap cars, cheap mods and just you two Happy New year Aussies

Moog: "Give me eleven" Marty: "That...s really weird"

Moog forgot to wear his Hi-Vis shirt to the wreckers, otherwise they would have sold it to you for $3.50.

That harp playing on the radiators gag makes me giggle like a child, I love it! xD

wow, a whole car build in a single episode! that's neat. Good show boys. It's still a yaris, but that's a neat job done!

"What are we hitting over there? - The car." I love those super detailed technical comments from moog :p

2ZZ-GE is a mighty unit too.

I'm actually impressed with you guys. I remember the very first or one of the first videos you made and you were like so clueless in the actual skills dept. Now you are actually getting dirty and doing real stuff with serious projects. ;) Keep this up and you'll be making the motor trend guys look like amateurs. :)

Full disrespected nose yaris

Just like Paris Hilton her front end has been smashed in

Toyota Yaris Before MCM:$1500 after: $4000 *insert stonks meme here*

love the video, brings back happy memories of chucking a 2.0l Calibra engine in my Vauxhall Nova 15 years ago. Still easily the most fun car I've ever owned. Unfortunately it was such an easy popular conversion by 2005 it was almost expected that every Nova on the road had one :-)

“I moustache you a question!” Made my day🤣🤣that’s why I love MCM!!

Toyota Technician here. What a lovely episode. Toyotas as so easy to work on. Everything is quite simple and with 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19 sockets and spanners you can replace clutch or do headgasket. Check if airbag has been replaced as recall :D

This is the second time we have seen Yaris Hilton have something jammed in her front end on camera

2007 toyota yaris was my first car. Drove that car over 5 years; paid cash for it, No maintenance costs, it was amazing. I then saved up money and upgraded to a new wrx sti, my wallet misses the yaris, but I never looked back.

„They wanted to make it like an MR2, but then the seats got in the way“

My Toyota Probox will be big blocked with that 2ZR-FE engine! The corolla that you took the engine from also accommodates my car's 1.5 1Nz-FE engine (The engine that you thought will be in the Yaris hilton) so it should fit. Thank you guys for showing me the way to supe up my dreary econobox!

"I've been tugging it for about ten minutes and I can't get it out"

So nice to see you playing that radiator harp. I miss those days

Merry Christmas from Croatia to all in Australia!

Welp it'll be turboed!

This front end is all smashed in. my_mechanics: "I make new one"

Other RU-vid channels: EP1 “We gonna do an engine swap. Check the next episode” Ep2: “We have the engine out, check next episode for us to put the other in”

Was anyone else expecting Benny aka Mechanical Stig to be stood there when they said they got the ultimate scan tool 😂

I "mustache" you a question. 😆😆😆😆

"Martin give me 11" "That was really weird" 😂😂😂

Seriously, what person is giving this video a thumbs down? These guys are literally doing things that all of us dream to do.

An hour of nuggety MCM goodness. Thanks guys

Definitely a fantastic 2019 MCM season. Looking forward to what’s to come. Thanks for the many years of automotive excitement.

5:46 "can you believe that someone may have sold us a car without telling us ALL the fine details about it's history" yeah nah me too moog can't believe it mate

9:05 b.b.but... He's playing the radiator the wrong way

Making a fast car faster = "easy" Making a slow car fast = challenging but cheap making a moderate car even slightly faster = expensive and hard

MCM I give you all mad props for all your content and hard work. Inspiring DIYers and car fanatics everywhere. Southeast US resident here and after watching countless hours of your videos you have inspired me to get under my own hood many times and do my own repair. I have learned so much along the way and that is the real journey and now my mates call me up when they need a hand. 10/10 community excellence my friends!

Eh, it's a Toyota. They don't like to change anything when they don't have to. As an example, I was recently able to fit the stock touchscreen radio off a wrecked 2013 Scion FR-S (86) into my 2003 Celica with the same harness. same mounts, and without modifying the dash in any way, basically complete plug & play. In any case, this is by far one of the best videos you guys have made for a while. Awesome!

Lol, i think this is the first video where they don’t with “First, jack up your car.”

A corolla clutch, in a yaris gearbox, in a corolla engine, in a Yaris Car.... music to my ears...

Absolutely love this, complete grass roots, bigger engine in a smaller car loveliness. Reminds me of my first project car, top quality content.

"Here's the tools you're going to need... Everything!" Quote of the year right there

I'm glad it becomes Christmas in Australia before it does in the UK: I'm watching from the past!

It's awesome that you guys are still around.... I remember watching a blow off valve video like 10yrs ago....

So nice waking up to this on Christmas morning.

Meanwhile in Cuba : "every engine fits in everything, of course mate !"

I love what you guys do so much. Simply because, me being an american muscle car junkie, I always look at carburetors and points ignition, old v8s and about three total wires to get something on the road. You guys show that you can make anything fast, regardless of year make or model and that anyone can do it. Can't wait to see what 2020 holds!

🎶Captain Planet, he’s our hero 🎶

Now just paint it pink for the Gran Turismo 3 experience

"It looks like Jabba The Hutt has sharted down the front of our Yaris here"

Never a truer word said that most people don't dare work on their cars and that working on crap stuff will enter you into the car world. You guys are maaaad proper celebration at the end

Best build of 2019. Yaris Hilton hands down.

I have check engine light Solution: change the engine Reality: more headache, more check engine

Jesus Christ that whip cream scene was ridiculous lol

“And we accidentally bought the 1.3........” Ha lol. It’s the same as mine!

Do I smell TURBO??!?!!

6.28..marty: i mustashio a question? Moog: .

The MCM Christmas "special" is always the highlight of my Christmas! Thank you guys for making it better for us! For sure idk where i would be without you guys! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time! I know i will with this awesome video!

I had the Yaris with factory fitted 1.8 motor. Came in 3 door with all the bells and whistles... keyless entry, traction control, etc etc With a good intake and exhaust you can easily make 114kw and 200nm. Great little motor!

MCM: "A testament to all things average, mundane and built for nothing more than pure practical unadulterated boredom" Google: Did you mean Nissan Versa?

"Clean and well maintained lady driven" Yaris for sale....

I really hope Marty got a Cherry Blossom WRX

Toyotas V-Tec is VVL, VVT-i is variable valve timing which is horsepower on demand for fuel efficiency

"Some people wonder why we'd waste time working on a cheap car like a Yaris." Ummm... you mean the kind of car us normal people would own?

Moog and Marty AND Project Binky in one day? Feels like Christmas, man!

Thank you for not splitting this into 14 episodes!

“Does this even fit?... We have no effing idea!” Rofl!

mcm = merry christmas mods

"They wanted to make it like an MR2, but then the seats got in the way..." aaannd this is where I died of laughter. well played, moog... well played.

i personally hated the 5 speed in my 04 corolla. got rid of it went through 2 of them, put in a 6 speed instead and a stage 2 clutch. WOW what a difference. the rally gearing on the 6 speed is very nice takes 130 at the wheel and really helps put it to the ground.
