This puts a smile on my face looking back 2 years ago, I bought my 1989 mr2 from a guy 2 hours away who pushed the car out of a shipping container. He didnt even look at the car before having me come check it out. After pushing it out and thinking it didn't run but was in excellent shape we shook at $3,000. As a joke i turned the keys and it started. Drove all the way home no issues.

Started watching a couple of months back, and now you guys are like my go-to car channel. The "big" name car YT'er I just lose interest with their dragged on videos. I gotta say for a channel this small, the quality is insane. I just lurk and don't post comments like these, but I had to do this one time. At first I thought Netgear was some weeb that named himself after a router for some reason, but now I absolutely enjoy the knowledge he drops on us.HOOD CERTIFIED and doesn't care about getting his PP Slapped!!! REAL OG

as an aw11 owner i was waiting for this video from you guys

The amount of side tangents that happened in this video is amazing I love it 10/10

Been looking for one of these for months, PNW has nothing but broken rustbuckets with prideful owners asking $4k

that pick n pull part was fuckin gold, this one time i walked out with a shift knob and a rear ashtray from an ls400 that i didn't pay for, bro inspected my bag and clearly saw them and said "yep you good to go".

These are awesome cause their relatable. Judging cars I can’t afford and feeding the facebook marketplace dumpster fire.

Just found this video and I recognized the AW11 you guys started talking about around 1:17. I actually sold the guy the spare red transmission with that exact wooden tray pictured at 2:10, as well as the old 16-valve engine out of my AW11. Guess he never did get around to getting it working properly. Small world lol.

Finally the AW11 episode!!! AE92/Ae82 would be an interesting episode in the future as well

a video about the mr2 spyder would be nice, since they are going up in price now

Aw11 owner and enthusiast for 26 years. These cars are solid and great drivers cars. Much fun. They're way to heavy for their size though unfortunately.

the aw11 is for us who want a fun NA mr2, the sw20 is only cool if its turbo or has a dumb swap

Over here the coolant at the pick n pull is free. They also have the gas out of all the cars for free. When I had my old Subaru Brat with the super low compression like 7:1 ratio engine I used to fill up there all the time. That thing would run on Coleman fuel or Naptha, that's how low compression it was. Gas for free, I could drive for thousands of miles for free. The free coolant is good if you have a leak and are waiting a month to get the only available radiator. The batteries are genuinely a great deal. $20 even for a huge Group 31. I have some that I bought 5 years ago and they still work perfectly. They do desulfate them before selling them. They also have weird and expensive sizes like the tiny H3 which is the only battery that seems to fit in the space in my 79 Subaru. A lawn tractor battery also fits but doesn't have enough reserve capacity for my taste. Original battery was a weird size NS40Z but they are hard to find too. My mom's Jetta TDI has one from the junkyard and it was bought 5 years ago and it starts fine even in -10 degree temperatures.

As an MD native, Crazy Ray's is incredibly based

Nah what we need is a h-pic of all the iterations of netgear together

I loved the pick n’ pull conversation :D

5:00 i actually like that back man, normally idgaf really about 240s etc etc but this mr2 looks cool imo

It’s true, I like looking at them

I live for these daily vids, never stop❤

0:24 difference between the boomer stuff and the new jdm stuff is that no one is making parts for the jdm stuff and original items are hard to restore compared to the older cars. So you could have a basket case impala and restore it. Hard to do the same for an aw11

My boy used to have one of these with a silver top 20V in it that car was a pocket rocket wish he still had it

i once looked at an aw11 on marketplace. The seller was bragging about how it had a silver top 4age in it, but he later said the engine had rod knock and the whole car was fucked. Lmao

As a supercharged AW owner and someone who's ground up restored the car and had the engine refreshed with a fully rebuilt 4AGZE with every JDM bolt on of the era you can name and every single desirable OEM rare part not every AW is the same... That being said if I had to do it again I'd get an NA and make a race car. Albeit having owned and driven all three generations the third gen is the best the AW11 is the second best and the SW I have never fallen in love with. Handling and chassis dynamics wise the AW11 and the ZZW30 are the most "MR2" in spirit the SW was trying to be upscale and in a way aspired to be a NSX but it can never achieve that level. The turbos are fun but you definitely feel the extra weight in the SW chassis.

I have an 86 MR2 it's in really good shape besides the fact that the timing off what with the 4AGE being a non-interference motor it's still fires and runs Wicked fun cars and it came with an old Jack handle for a Hood prop

The AW11 is easily the BEST of the mr2s

PSA: The fuses, relays, emblems and clocks at pick n pull are free, you can take them home. But don't take the ducks, the ducks are not free.

I remember my dad picked up a decently clean no rust Supercharged AW for 2k in 2002. Things changed big time haha.

15:27 COLLECTOR CAR FEED N THE GANG GOES TO PICK N PULL TOGETHER?? NICE VIDEO??

This episode was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

funny i was looking at mr2 yt videos and i see the mr2 i bought at 21:33 , ended up getting it for 5k, painted it black and got new rims, has been running perfectly with no issues too, great car.

Im 18 and own a 89 Toyota MR2 AW11 lol

I just got a aw11 😅 had a spyder for a little bit but stupidly sold it and always wanted the first gen

Finally the Aw11 Gets Some Love..... Wonder How My Aw11 Stacks.....

80s cars go hard

I just bought one a few weeks ago, owned two in total. Motor blew up, so I'm swapping it since people want an arm and a leg for a 4AGE. They're great cars, but finding parts is quite difficult.

Finally! I've been waiting for that one, just bought one, It's a peach, basically perfect. But over here in europe they're like 3x more expensive than in the states...

Man I had an 1985 as my first car, then had a 1989. I miss that car. Slow as balls, but so fun on the turns.

Woah, i was just looking at these 5 minutes ago, neat, but yeah aw11s are rustbuckets for cheap, anywho, great vid as always ccf, keep up the great work

Five years ago I owned a 87 MR2 supercharged, it was a total nightmare I could never find parts lost 7 Grand on it when I sold it, I paid way too much for it's to begin with. I don't know what I was thinking. Don't buy an old Japanese car unless you can buy an exact replica for parts. It probably goes for any older car.

I am STILL looking for one of these in not-totally-rotted condition if only so I can stuff a modern Corolla motor, a Previa's AWD, and a Mazda supercharger into it

I bought an AW11 in better condition than all these cars for $1000 bucks at a dealer auction in 1998. How times have changed.

Just found this channel you guys are great just subscribe

I love that interior. So cool looking. But the 80s Isuzus are even cooler with all the unusual controls. My favorite is the digital dashboard in the Oldsmobile Bravada though.

The AW11 at 6:00 absolutley F*&ks. That thing cleaned up on some 80's BBS RS would be super clean.

Ive got a stock NA 4AGE and would love to swap to a 20 valve and turbo it

I still stand by pick n pull crack being the best

pick and pull beer side hustle gotta make crazy bank

Can confirm, am zoomer and I love the aw11

Now I want a pick and pull burrito.

Funny that this gets posted after I found a nice pair of MR2 bucket seats for fifty bucks. Can't wait to throw them into my 83' Nissan 720.

16:20 ya'll aint never worked in the heavy truck scene eh? You'll see exhaust flexpipe like that on all the billy big rigs. It's cheaper than bent exhaust elbows, by alot. A 10ft section of 5In flexpipe is less than four exhaust elbows of the same size. Rare to see it in such a small diameter, but i know it's out there.

These AW11s are ACTUAL death traps. No ABS, no airbags, super light MR layout, might as well be made of sheet metal. Cool af though... If there's ever a correct way to hit a tree going 55mph, it's the AW11 😂

I saw tht MR2 that caught on fire lmao. Tht guy is expecting some money from that lol.

I've been looking at these for monthsss. Its kinda funny seeing someone else evaluate all the listings I've diven into for a long time. Is it stupid to want to buy a car you've never even ridden in before? Also a AW11 for a first hobby-car seems like a dumb idea (but then again that's the point of a hobby car).

There’s a 240sx for sale in Richland Washington you guys should check out for your next 240sx video, the car is wrapped red in the front and then fades to black. You guys should check it out for the next video. Wanna see your guys’s opinions on it

I like cheese, I like the cheese wedge. More room is better than the newer MR2s but obv more reliable since its not a 30+ yr car lol

Miss my aw11 every day, it was a pile but it was my pile. A more civilized weapon for a more civilized age.

if you were looking for a video where 3 guys are crying about the condition of 30+yr old mr2s,you found it,the price on aw11s is going to skyrocket,every yr they are harder and harder to find

now, idk about the states but around where I live the AW11 MR2 is either slightly rusted and 100% salvageable for around 4 or 6 thousand (think like a pretty bad case of rust in maybe 1 or 2 spots but the rest of the car is in nice condition) or it's completely ruined and overpriced (think 2k for a car you'd need to sink 10k into just to scrape the bottom of the road legal bin) Otherwise they're in good condition and over 14k

Its a flocked dash because finding a MR2 dash that doesnt look like a dry lake bed is nearly impossible. Last time I saw good condition dash for sale the seller wanted $2k for it.

I've been rubbing my hands for the last 6 years picking up a nice Mr2 SC for 5k

3:50 is this how normal japanese car people feel about bosozoku?

as the owner of a shitbox aw11 these cars are either shit or mint. they are hard to find in good shape

@17:28 the red one with the black hood. Common problem. I bet on a bad relay. COR or fuel pump relay. Had that same problem twice. If the engine and transmission are good most repairs are easy to do. The only repair that's really a pain in the a** is replacing the fuel pump.

I wish mine ran ):

Yall should look into c4 corvettes

Lmaoooo the title

First car I ever purchased, in 1990, was an NA '85 MR-2. Silver w/black, manual, no spoiler or sunroof. Got it with 52k, great condition, for 4,200 bucks.

Asking for nb miata vid#27 "you haven't really done nb miata ever too"

Idk how you guys feel about Saab but itd be cool if y’all look at some

Can confirm crazy ray's is insane, i found a fucking gamecube in the back seat of a landcruiser one day and made off with it when i was 13

I started liking the aw11 mr2 then I saw the prices and like yeah no like theres listing for 20,000

I love pick n pull cause I can just teach how to take a part cars. But I fucking hate that the nearest one that has my car is 3 cities away

Guys are funny as shit. Reminds me of the guys I bs about available vehicles and equipment with.

Ok so I had gotten a sw20 mr2 3sgte swap for 3500 4 years ago . When I sold it the car was still easy to find for 4k decently running and now these mr2 price are insane . Not even worth it tbh just get a loan and get the new mid engine corvette . Plus the parts for an mr2 are expensive too . The suspension was like $900 for the cheap ones and the JDM tail lights by itself are like 600 . 3sgte aren’t that expensive but if I ever get another mr2 I would just k-swap it .

The first mr2 they showed was the one on fire I actually got a look at in person it’s really not worth it they originally wanted like 3 grand for it

More reviews c5 or m3ssss, please

$1100 AW11 would have my attention if it ran. sheesh.

And this is where the 'keep it clean for x years and the price will go high' theory goes to failure. Exactly the same shitbox, but in Corolla body costs at least twice the AW11.

Just wait till they discover the Nissan Pulsar!

As a zoomer with an AW11 who also convinced a zoomer friend to buy one. Yeah, ours are cheap shitboxes.

Ninja rocks🎉

Maaaan how are all these cars so cheap over there😭, here in Italy they go for like 10-15k

Had no idea it was a 20 valve. Like why? More sht to break? Why don't you see any of these over 200k? Is that why it's called the MR2, because Must Repair 200k?

i love aw11's, but i dont love them for 10k

I owned one for almost 10 years. If you never drove mr you'll wanna read up on how to drive one and set it up. Sw20 is way worse with snap oversteer.

20:43 I know what happened here. That car sat at a scummy dealer's lot for a long ass time and it eventually got sold. Guy probably overpaid for it, it likely had jerry rigged repairs to get it to sell initially. I'm glad I didn't buy it, almost went to take a look at it... until I read reviews about JCM.

@4:00 iT looks like an nsx front end lol

3:51 But hey, that SX4 i would buy

Net gear for the people

I love the mr2 but it is such a small car, if i ever owned one i would have to cut a hole in the roof or something, unfortunately ive been cursed to never be able to enjoy this car😔

worst interior? are you kidding? I feel like I am flying a tie fighter whenever I take mine out!

@ 6:58 Feed clearly said," slave master "

I thought I was going crazy seeing Zoomer comments preferring the 1980s Z31 over the 90s Z32 300ZX. But I guess they like sYnThWaVe

Let’s do an irl pick n pull video

The AW11 is the Cope Car To the SW20, Like the A70 is to the A80. CHANGE MY MIND!

Good while my fellow zoomer creams their pants for this, I will buy the far superior fiero.

What rims on the thumbnail?

Testarossa of marketplace

You get kicked out for breaking windows
