The fender flares really give the car an aggressive stance. Wheel choice works well with the overall look of the car. And the fact that nothing went wrong and everything was working the way it should, I am very impressed by Mark's build.

How the flat plane crank sound is achievable is by crossing a center cylinder header tube from the drivers side to the passenger side header collector and the exact opposite pipe to the drivers side header collector to give it the European exhaust note. American cars all have the chunky idle and throaty tone because the two center pistons rise to top dead center at almost the same time as it is called a dual plane crankshaft and the flat plane crankshaft all 8 cylinders rise to top dead center at different times. This has had the header pipe swap , we have done this to several vehicles including a 66 Chevy truck with a 283 and people really thought it had a Ferrari or Lamborghini engine. It’s just a trick on your ears .

I love these home build projects. This car is a welcome break from the $100k restorations and such I see on a lot of the car channels here. It's refreshing to see a car that was built to be driven hard (not just to cars and coffee). Bravo!

Definitely an interesting car. I love seeing people doing projects in their own style with their own hands. Props to the guy for making something fast and unique!

Everyone will have opinions on these creations. As for me, he did what we wish could do. We needs to get out of box of comfort and make dreams come true. Thanks for showing us what we are able to do, create. Cool video, Thanks Matt for finding these gems.

Extremely well done. This car is more fun and engaging to drive than anything out by any manufacturer today. Who cares about the interior and other amenities, along with all the tractions controls, all wheel torque transfer systems and dual clutch boxes. I give kudos to the owner for using a great platform to start with along with doing great bodywork, and complementing with a proper manual transmission whilst keeping the engine within the Toyota/Lexus family. Anyone can put in an American V8, but really, the 1UZ is one hell of a reliable motor and uncommon, not to mention this one was supercharged. Mark, if you are reading this, I'd love for you to start another project or better yet, refine this baby a bit more and shove a 1GZ-FE V12 in it for a true supercar killer.

Please to all of you saying negative things because it doesn't sound like a crossplane crank v8 in a mustang or camaro or such, there's no need to say that, Ferrari's and Lambos sound amazing, not everything performance has to have a deep gurgling tone to it.

I'm curious why it sounds like that. Just search for "180 degree headers" on KZread and all the LS engines with a similar setup frankly sound amazing. Obviously there are big differences between the two engines, but still both are 90 degree crank V8s.. Maybe a poor choice of mufflers/resonators?

Love the video TheSmokingTire as always the production quality is top notch!

that exhaust setup is insane! i was so confused as to why it sounded like that until he explained it. ya learn something new every day

Stills estimate of 300-400 hp, even at the wheels, seems really low, given that a stock 4.0L Lexus V8 of the SC had 300 net bhp. What would you say it's putting down, after driving it?

Sounds alright actually. Exhaust cleverness, although heavy and complex, is certainly cheaper than building a full flatplane and eradicates one of the major crossplane V8 problems. It doesn't solve the issue of the very heavy crank, but oh well. Personally I'd rather see a built up Toyota 4 pot in there, but at least this sounds vaguely right.

Finally--some one gets it. It doesn't sound as good as I had hoped, but at least it's got a unique sound. And no matter how much you build a 4 cylinder it will never have the low end torque of a V8.

@TheWierdFish

markstoys11 In a performance vehicle, it really doesn't matter a jot how much low end torque you've got so long as there's enough oomph all together. No one ever drove hard and fast round a track and pulled into the pits complaining that there could have been more torque at 2000rpm. That said, some 4 pots are fantastically torquey, due to very long strokes. Rough whilst doing it though, which is why long stroke straight sixes always have been, and always will be the torque kings. It doesn't sound quite as good as, say, a 4A-GE, nor as good as a true flatplane, but still better than the original Lexus drone and better than most other crossplane V8s out there.

Then again the US has more support for the 2JZ than any other country, develops and produces most of it there and yet the 2JZ still costs an arm and a leg to build. Im not expert on Mustangs but they by far have more support than any car I know, parts are everywhere to the point where you could buy a thick catalog with only Mustang parts so I can only assume that parts don't cost that much. LSX swaps are popular with Fox Body Mustangs, probably because those are the lightest Mustang you can buy and the LSX is just a superior engine with light weight all aluminum construct for most and cast iron variants for more boost depending on where you sourced the motor.

SpikeRazzor the LSX is most definitely not superior to the Ford Modular V8. its an old design pushrod motor which isnt as efficient as a dohc design. the new 5.0 is only like 20 pounds more than the ls3. if you wanted to compare motors a ford pushrod 302 of old is about the same and in some cases cheaper. the modular v8 may be a tad more expensive but not by much. and it can make a lot more power per liter in modded form. they have a 5.0 coyote that is making 630 hp now. i hear the highest an ls3 has went is the same. simply put the 5.0 is better

@SpikeRazzor

***** I'm not seeing how the LSX doesn't run circles around the Modular engine when its finds its way into more vehicles from the factory and more swaps. Yes pushrods are dated, but there's an old saying that if it ain't broke don't fix it. Compared to the Coyote 5.0 the LSX is not just a few pounds lighter, its phyically smaller as DOHC V8's are wider (this is why only a few Coyote swaped FC RX-7's exist) and significantly cheaper for a crate purchase. Unless the Coyote is making huge gaps in performance I can't see how it would be more efficient, pushrod engines have less moving parts, are easy to diagnose and fix. That seems a lil bit more efficient to me. As for HP per liter, personally I feel thats its ricer talk. The S2000 has hight amounts of that at the cost of poor MPG for an I4 and no power band, an LSX swapped S2000 yealed opposite resaults and only added a 100lbs.

One of my favorite builds.... just looks like it was a proper fun time to be in the garage.

This goes back to car build the way the builder wants and he did execute. The sound is different but that gives it Carecter. This car is well put together. It looks great in my View.

Cars like this is why I'm so happy to be subscribed for so long

Terrific build. Nice work Mark.

IDK how many times I've watched this but I love it everytime.

dude, your introduction is really amazing. Best background sound and amazing commentary

I watched this video, and holy crap. THIS COROLLA is an absolutely perfect definition of unique, and you don't even have to drive it to tell either.

mark still and his car are nothing short of fucking inspirational

Just replayed this yet again, for the sound alone.

This is my kind of tuner! Just something batshit crazy and completely custom. LOVE IT.

I love these home brewed race cars that people build in their garages with their own money, like Corbin's old RX7. I could watch these all day long.

Great Job on this one. I love "Different".

That exhaust was the coolest thing about that car. Listening to it shift was awesome!

the best sound this car makes is on the downshift at 6:55 or so and its great, I wish you had more audio of it downshifting!!!!

Thank you so much for this sir such inspiration for my dream build!!

dude, your videos are cool, i miss them, make more like these. it makes us happy, cause its cool.

At first, hearing a 1uz sound like that made me upset. Then there was an explanation, and I was really happy! Wicked car, and thumbs up on selecting this guys build!

Wow pretty cool Mark, nicely done!

I miss my '74 Corolla SR5. 1600 2TC, headers, Isky solid lift cam, MSD, electric fuel pump, gloss black motor carriage, polished valve cover, shortened shifter, widened SR5 rims in the back, stock up front. Rims were painted gloss black with beauty rings. Oh the memories.
