Please get a 1991 ford Festiva.. you guys love nuggets.. get one of these.. the square one like the one squashed on that roundabout.. you won't regret it. Or I'll do you one better.. the spiritual successor the Kia picanto.. more modern version of what you would think would be the 3rd gen Festiva. Both have their charms.. but get a Festiva and a picanto and race them.

Great project... Good for you! For years, I've thought about this combo - perhaps also 4wd with bits from a Terios - Mini WRX!

That timing tech is really impressive. I'm used to +/- lap times or at best sector times but live time tracking that updates multiple times a second is amazing. Knowing where the gains and losses are midway through a corner is next level for chasing times irrelevant of where the rest of the field are. You compete best when competing against yourself.

Smiles at camera smiles there's a glint on his teeth and cut to over lap of Scotty from Haltech...there we go you can have that one

Missing a lot the blue turd when watching this episodes, i loved that project. It was awesome seeing Marty developing such a linking for that tiny car. And improving it through the episodes. I was so sad when it got scrapped.

As always, MCM sticks to their roots and makes you feel things no other car channel can. Makes me enjoy my little nugget that much more after watching these videos. Get out there, enjoy mad little cars with your friends and make memories. That’s what it’s all about.

First, let me just say thank you for giving me something to look forward to this Christmas; the holidays are hard for me. Second, keep doing what you're doing. I've had a rough year. You guys are a large part of what has helped me get through it. I'm especially grateful for Moog's video about his struggle with the passing of his dad. In a few words, I get it. I've started training for my second 5K, and I plan on doing it in the Spring. Take care, be safe, and be well.

I can't get enough of this build. My favorite from your team so far, bar none. Keep them coming!

You guys looked like ya'll had loads of fun. love the channel, can't wait for more build content. :)

As an owner of a fun lil 50ish HP car that was designed for low power, you're right. Once you start hitting higher HPs in cars that were never designed for it you wind up having to replace so much stuff that is just changes the car entirely. The car loses it's fun lil soul.

I have wait years for the daihatsu cuore to be back on the channel. Finally it happening!!. Such a well packaged car

i love this series, cant wait for the big vid!

Way to go! Always fun with a Daihatsu at the track. If you are still using the standard exhaust manifold, there are a lots of horsepower untouched . A 3in1 manifold with high flow cat after the engine will work wonders👍

Little Nuggets like this are the reason most of us love cars. Can't wait to see the next chapter.

Love your videos. No matter what you are getting this car ready for we love watching all the episodes.

Thank you for making this type of content!

Back around 1989-1990, there was a small Diahatsu doing supersprints here in Sydney. It had the 3 cylinder motor, but I can't remember the model name. It was so underpowered that when the owner put some A008R tyres on it, it went slower. The rubber duck with the helmet reminds me of another friend, who had a Garfield doll with a helmet stuck to the back window of his racecar Mini. The reason he did that was because a scrutineer objected to his passenger not wearing a helmet.

This is such a great episode guys. I am so happy that you guys released this and took that low nugget around the race track

secret revealed: the daishatsu is being entered into a small class motor racing league. kicker is that fans will get to race it

Great Video Guys 🙂

Why do I get the feeling they want to take this car to the Australian equivalent of the "24 hours of Lemons" race (the USA race series for $500 cars). They have a "theme" with the rust and the roof rack car. They bought it for cheap, they have it mostly race prepped (although no roll cage...yet?) and they told Scotty to make the tune such that the engine will just run reliably for a long period of time. IF that is what Marty and Moog have planned, that will be hilarious good fun to watch. No matter what though, I will be inviting some of my car friends over on Christmas for a watch party. Looking forward to what you two have planned!
