Little Ben standing like the last boss 😊
The end is the BEST GnG Moment after : After calmly discussing our options, Ben and I have mutually decided it would be best to take the freeway, and before we knew it, we were finally out of Georgia
The Confidence in Ben's (Thorne) face at the end 🤣🤣🤣
Great to see you all wrenching on cars again. Love the new wheels. Good luck next week on the battle.

The new wheels are another level.
Love to see more of Mark, good to see him getting more comfortable behind the camera! Hope to keep seeing more of your official mechanic!
Short Ben's face at the end had me dying lmao
Honestly that “what the fuck” at the end just got me in tears 😂
LOL @ the ending. 🤣
Can you believe the history of these mr-s, they used to race with the giants GTRs, Supras and NSX in the gt300 series, also one of the fastest trial mountain vehicle.
That end credit was perfect, going to be interesting for sure.
That was an amazing ending! Love seeing you both push each other. Keep it up guys, you guys make my Saturdays.
Anyone else see he was using the ratcheting 12 point on the eye bolt for the seat and totally get the wrench locked in there once the nut was tightened? 8:08.

That tube that runs next to the bolt is a flexible coolant hose. No issue there

I feel like when this MR2 has the kinks and bits ironed out of it, Such as the fitment and what not. It'll look really impressive
Dude, can’t wait to for next episode! I’m rooting for the MR2. An underdog is always a good story.
Civic Ben is the freaking best! That ending was hilarious!
It's great to see someone doing a build on one of these, so excited to see the finished project! Also, looks like the axle nut on the rear wasn't keyed into the axle. Not sure if that was purposeful but having just done the cv to my mr2 I figured I would point it out in case.
The Mr2 looks so good now! What a transformation!
Hahaha that ending! 😅
Car is looking awesome can’t wait to see what’s next
Nice work! Great episode!
Feel like there needs to be a petition, bring back the ‘tache..
I ran NT01s in SCCA on my ITA 914/6 for years before updating to a STU Cayman, they're a really great all around tire.
Thanks for the 15% off !!! Got my trailhawk a full tune up at advance online order keep up the content need another road trip in my opinion!!
That ending, love it!!!!!
Hey Mark.. glad your on board.. You matter to God
LOL the end was the best part! So good to see both of you guys racing together again.
awesome video as always guys.
Cool episode! What an amazing battle hahaha nobody saw that coming😂
Literally my home track. See you there, bro!
Y'all are now journeyman level mechanics and fabricators. Great work! Now it's time to take the guard off your grinder.
Man I love you guys videos its gonna be hella competitive this time
fantastic, always appreciate more mr-s vids
Love to see the progress, would recommend taking a dremel to all those vents down the sides and out back though. Also, do those side skirts have ducts that go nowhere? Cap ‘em off if that’s the case.
for anyone not wanting to trial and error the songs in the description like i did, the banger at 3:38 is flux by harry keyworth :)
Amazing looking Spyder
The end LMAO 😂, Ben vs Ben again! 🔥💀
The ending was perfect lmao 🤣
Hey already saw your car finished, it's looks good
Wow, to think this MR2 went from being a RGB, cock rocket covered monstrosity to almost an actual track weapon is really satisfying.
The Chapter names are pure gold too
Car looks great guys
Glad y'all made it back to the shenandoah circuit. Brings back memories of when y'all covered gridlife there. Stay true to your roots, spend more time on the driver.
Ben 1: what the f**beep Ben 2: ** smiling smug face
Mark might be the only person I’ve ever seen line up the yellow dot with the valve stem. In my shop we’ve mounted a set where 2 we’re like that and 2 we’re randomly placed and the random ones actually balanced out better - so we all stopped caring about those dots.
Lmao I had to hammer back those exact pinchwelds on my ion redline when I put 255's on it.
Love the mrs content. Hope to see you out there one day in mine
I know it's not painted, but the red and white combo looks great on this car! Like a race car 🚗
MR2 CONTENT BABY LETS GO
Dot5.1 fluid is a master key 🗝️
The ending cracked me up!!! Awesome videos guys!!!
There's a company that makes an oil filter adapter/relocator for the 2arfe. Would highly recommend. It would allow you to run an oil cooler and have more oil capacity. I put a big ol wix on my 2011 camry and it got the job done 😂💯
That’s cold lol Ben vs Ben
I lol'ed so hard on Ben using the k car. And that ending was gold 😂😂😂
That was your best video ending ever!
I use VR1 10W30 on my turbo Saleen! Still running strong at 190k miles
Try running an 8k front 6k rear setup to reduce the oversteer sketchiness. You're running a fwd spring rate setup. Or you may want to play with spring rates to get it more neutral.
am i the only person who liked the body stock? haha I've never meet again that likes it
Build coming along nicely.... but with the planned fitment, might as well go ahead and load up on wheel bearings ASAP
Reatore the Headlights and go with Samsung's Mover LED series! Old type bulbs may be good but aint good enough! I replaced mine recently and the difference is amazing
Brake bleed montage was 🔥
Car looks awesome as is tbh. That fucked up hood is chefs-kiss. Good luck Ben(s)!
Love that "adjust" is "just whack it with the biggest hammer I can find"
The end was epic, let's see how things turn out, because those cars do not are close in specs
That last shot was brilliant. ha ha. I laughed so hard.
easy as 1 2 3 (adjusting pinch welds)!
Nice iron man livery!! Nice konig wheels!! Please put a swan neck spoiler🔥🔥
lifting the wiper up to display how shredded the rubber was, that was epic
The smart car scene 😂😂😂😂
Ending was gold
haha the smirk at the end 😏
Just started watching the video and i hope it either ends with the mr2 in one color or in livery
Hope to see road trip video with this car.
that segment with the extended stud really hit home for like 2 thirds of my hometown, i was unfortunately the small stud.
The ending with the big smile on ben thorn face😂
Blue would be a great color for it
Mark, the Toyota filters come with that little plastic piece that you can insert into the bottom of the plastic filter housing to get the oil out before you spin it off, so you don’t get oil everywhere haha

This is Ben- I really have always just seen it as another spot for oil to potentially leak. Always just spin it off like a regular oil filter, both on my MR2 and Tundra. With a drop pan it seems superfluous to use the drain plug.
Epic finish and I can't wait
Shout out to all the stock cosmetic MR-S😅 Ben got me wishing mine had a wide body xD
The wheels looks amazing, I en6this kind of build, good job guys
that ending.. epic
thorn has the race in the bag because i think his car is a little more set up for racing right now
That ending was great lol
thats a major PLOT TWIST
Word of advice, get the aluminum oil filter housing for this engine.
Already saw the future of this car on the Konig Wheels USA youtube channel.
I need another road trip series
Made in China rims? I think we might have another rim trophy to go with the EVOs Advan. I know they are cheap but on the track? You brave… you brave. GL Ben, think u will need it against the Civic. 👍🏻
Konig wheels KZread channel has your car with the livery on that’s insane lol looks awesome
What happened to the high revving ITB engine build? Feel like we never really saw that perform.
FWIW, all FIA 8853-2016 certified harnesses are 6 point. 5 point harness have gone the way of the dodo.

Good to know!
I think from now on this car really should be called Project Scope Creep. It started as a turd meant to be a cheap track toy now it has a flippin' wide body!
8:11 bolting balls to the floor for extra security

7-point harnesses
Is that massive tire and wheel setup really beneficial for a car at this weight and power level?
man you guys should do a trackday prep video
Hahah the ending was hilarious
The ending! 😂😂
You guys need to do a cannonball !!!
