Happy to help out!! 🥳
...and here i was thinking, all she needs is some JimmyO. Love both your channels, this made my day.
You are a legend good sir!!!
Dude you are awesome! Your channel and Sarah's along with gears and gasoline are the best!!
Thanks for helping out our home girl Sarah you rock brother
Jimmy the best
"It's running!... Yes!....it's running!", you melted our hearts, Sarah. Congratulations and keep on rocking!
I has such a huge, stupid grin on my faced when I heard that.
I punched the air when it started, such a great feeling 🙃. And I'm thousands of miles away
She certainly did melt them. Nice one.
That was indeed very genuine!
“It’s running … Holy Sh!t” (no squeak-out). Woohoo!
There are two types of people: ones that have made stupid mistakes, and liars.
I'm super proud of you, you took on a challenge that many veteran builder and tuners would have found challenging and you made it interesting and so satisfying. Thank you Sarah you may not know it but you bring a ray of sunshine into a lot of people's day.
James May is still lurking in the background, being quietly impressed I’m sure.
I can just hear him every time she had to take that valve cover off saying “oh c*ck”
Jimmy O is the man, love that guy! :D .. Congrats on the start up, more good things to come to you Sarah, stay positive!
NAh, even the folks that do this stuff for a living make mistakes like those. How do you think they know to look for them now? They made the exact same mistakes at some point. If a project goes together too smoothly, that's when you get really paranoid that you missed something. lol
This is funny because it also applies to coding as well lol
Yeah, exactly that. Retrofitting a trigger-wheel by eye on a crank pulley vs a machine-shop fit, in my case. Cost me a crank trigger and heaps of time. Help comes from unlikely places: everyone's secretly a petrolhead...
That's because you learn from experience. That's how we learn. No amount of book reading can give you what you get by doing it.
If the gearbox clicks in on the first try, you forgot to torque Rodcap-3
I'm a gearhead of 45 years and I've only had three engines go way too smooth, with total paranoia, but were perfect right out of the box. I built a 455 Olds 442 engine from scratch, all hand built. I did a lot of research on it and built it to be a 450 hp engine and it put out 475 right off the engine stand. Talk about paranoid? But it was perfect. Yeay for our side. The other was a 351 Cleveland in a Ford Bronco that I also built from scratch to put out 400 horsepower and that exactly what it put out off the engine stand. (402) And of course, nothing like that ever happened again until very recently. I supercharged a Pentastar V-6 in my 2018 Dodge Charger AWD with 9,000 miles on it and also added a ported intake manifolds, a Hellcat throttle body, and giant injectors set up for 93 octane, to put out 510 horsepower, and it's puts out 522 to the ground with 14 pounds of boost; in 4 wheel drive. And that, is the total extent of things that went too smoothly and really were. In 45 years. LOL
Hearing your voice when it started was pure joy. Congrats Sarah!
Thank you Jimmy and Charlie. Too many days in a row of non stop work causes mistakes and sometimes injuries. Nobody got time for that!
Sarah's Mr. Dos is immaculate. Even the studs on the brake rotors are super clean, her shop super clean, her home garage is super clean. Great car Vlogs with quirky ratings with cookies, penguins, and beans. You do it well Sarah
This was the most realistic first start video I have ever seen on TH-cam.
That
So impressed by you showing the whole process. Real life not promotion. (Yes, I am an engineer. 🤣)
Big up to you Sarah, for sharing the problems. The only person who has not made a mistake is the one who does nothing
OMFG. . . I finally figured out why you call your MR2 "Mister Dos!"
I feel so stupid now 😄🤣😂😆
Lmao me too! For months I'm like that's a dumb name for a car. It took a retro episode of Motorweek for me to get it. John Davis was like "this year's Mr. 2..." I was like ooooohhhhhh🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well I am old and I am laughing at you two dorks....
"Señor DOS" has better ring to it!!!
Just happened upon this video. All I can say is that I honestly had no idea of the amount of electronics involved in the new cars. Hats off to you and everyone else that can tune and work on these cars. Much respect. Glad I watched.
Always good to see our favorite TH-cam - inter-web starlet working her magic on an automobile. Any automobile..... Thanks for your wonderful work Sarah and for making your devoted fans smile..... I could listen to you say buttons and aluminum for hours... No comment on "squirting fast and getting in you hair". I am a gentleman after all... That's what she said...
4:50 Best road sign ever from the Autobahn
You got no quit! Definitely admirable.
@Boring Bob - agreed. Word Up
Don’t be ashamed of missing just one little thing, many more would have done the same thing wrong.
You did all the rest correct and the car looks awesome !
Great work Sarah !
WOO! Cool to see it running. Hey - don't stress over the mistake; you were 95% focused on wiring, which in of itself is something so scary most people wouldn't even attempt. Awesome job!
Not to mention that the harness looks amazing !!!
The Honda comment reminds me of the only Honda stuff in my garage. Some white silicone I use on all the window and roof seals is from Honda. Recommended by Mr Miata himself!
I'm sure it's such an amazing feeling to get the MR2 running again. I'm blown away by your attention to detail and you incredible knowledge with wiring it all up. You're amazing, Sarah!!!
Thanks!
Eyyy Jimmy Oakes is the GOAT! Awesome mini collab. He is def a super solid human. :D Congrats on first start.
Wow! You do have a great sense of humor!
Sarah, I identify with you. I stoped counting the times I put the distributor 180 degrees out. Hooray for success.
I really like your work on the engine bay in its entirety, and that loom is wow , like seriously? I've seen wire harnesses in satellites that weren't even close to that well wrapped and strained relieved. Thanks for your vid
I’m glad you were not alone in that moment when Mr.Dos started, especially since it was Charlie. In the long run, you two have a special connection, physical or not.
Congratulations on getting it running!
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. The support from your TH-cam audience shows how much we appreciate your tenacity and overall “can do” attitude. The major accomplishment is the tremendous job you did with the complete re-wiring. Well done!
It still baffles me just exactly how much work you've put into the re-wiring project. Just massive. I'm in awe since I don't think I would ever take on something like that.
nothing to be embarrassed about, that is a hell of a lot of wiring and your attention to the detail is amazing.
The Honda flange bit was next level… how you did that with a straight face is almost as impressive as your electrical system wiring abilities.
Hear that? It's raining, so it's going to start. LOL. Love it that Jimmy O reached out to you. That's awesome. So cool to hear him chatting with you.
Congrats on getting her running! There really isn't much of a better feeling than that 😊
That guy sounds like KITT
Years. ago when I was a service manager at a dealership, I had tech that was a genius like you. He didn't always show up on time, but man he make factory looms, trouble shoot any thing electrical. This was in the early 80's when you needed giant breakout boxes to even attempt electrical repairs. Even the factory engineers would come down to visit him. Funny the owner of the dealership wanted him gone, because he wasn't the model employee. Glad I kept him around.
Installing an ECU from scratch is major f’in AGGRO! Glad it has fire in the hole now.
This is one of the videos on this channel my wife can relate to.
She also hates it when I squirt gasket maker in her hair.
Congratufrickinlations on getting Mr Dos idling. We knew you could do it. All the people that helped you get it done are real champs.
Nice work even though there were glitches along the way. What makes it so interesting is how methodical you are at chasing things down, correcting them and then putting it all back together with so much care and attention to the details.
I shed some tears because that journey… beautiful minds. Enjoy your channel.
That wire management is on point. Well done!
Yeah I agree with many other comments, that you shouldn’t beat yourself up to much for mistakes. Even ones you feel like you shouldn’t make, it happens all the time to all of us. Great job Sarah!
Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve done a whole bunch of top shelf work on the MR2.
I knew that you would do it; one great thing about you is that you don't give up easily. On to the next project!!👍🤗🛻
Your videos crack me up. You have a awesome sense of humor.
Think I lost count of the number times I laughed, in a good way, at all the comments through the video. Really made my day watching this.
I'm in-tuned to you wearing that green shirt 👕. Nice
You've made me a happy human. I don't know why I even care about this stuff other than it's fun being taken down the rabbit hole with your tech-geek wiring stuff. A long time ago I made a wiring harness for my Shovelhead Harley, which by the way is a complicated as a Zippo lighter, and it was an absolute nightmare - for me. Please don't say you're dumb and whatnot. Tell us you're exploring other, untrod avenues - be nice to yourself. We all like you.
Still rockin’ it. I’m glad you fcked up AND admitted it in the video. Not glad you messed up, just the way you owned it. Nice job as usual!
That's fantastic that it's running. Nothing to be ashamed about our embarrassed about. You're human, and a pretty awesome one at that!
This video makes me very happy. And on a semi-unrelated note, does anyone else hit the like button as soon as the video starts because you know it's gonna be awesome?!?!?!
absolutely - even before the intro starts!
If it started up right away, purring like a kitten, I don't think it would mean as much.The fact that it's sputtered and coughed into life makes me want to see what the tune does to it. Great job Sarah. I'm gonna stay n-Tuned.
Sarah I follwed Jimmy because of his z32s , now you need to build one too !!!
I had a Z33 for 9 years before TH-cam 😬
“I was just little confused with my input”, story of my life Sarah! You gave me a good laugh today and seeing you happy made me happy, thank you!
Absolutely amazing that you did all that wiring and part replacing and you have Resurrected Mr. Dos! Major kudos, Sarah. Wiring is my personal nightmare so I'm majorly impressed.
When it fired up I cheered right along with you. I love your persistence!
Awesome work Sarah...that took some serious work to get to this point, congratulations to the first start after all that work. Now to fine tune it and Mr. Dos will BE a little ripper!
New Sarah videos are the best notifications.
When its all done it'll be show car worthy.
It’s nice to see how don’t give up and look for help to figure issues out. There’s quite a few cars that are shelved because people give up.
The sun's gravitational pull will get you every time.
"Gravity. It's the law." - Daniel Western, circa 2002
Considering the absolutely massive task you undertook on the MR2 couple of really small errors are nothing, you did it, very proud.
Thank you Sarah!
Sugar....spice......and everything nice. All this wiring and electrical work has somehow changed the direction rotation of the Earth.
Blossom to rescue!!
Got my brother -n-tuned to Sarah. I don't know if that makes me a pimp or a shill or a recruiter in the Sarah army.
This comment is incredibly funny good god
Recruiter
@@THESLlCK Sarah brings out the hilarity in all of us.
@@scottbutler2343 since my previous comment’s original publication, I found out Sarah’s birth name was Charles
I’ll leave what you do with that information up to you
@Eric Babcock found the damage control account
Congratulations! Your work looks way better than anything from the factory. Your OCD paid off. Hope you're not burned out.
Great job! Congrats on getting the MR2 started!
Just came across this video and your channel for the first time and subscribed! Great combination of technical info, quirkiness, and humor! Keeps things light and not monotonous.
Fantastic! Great job. So satisfying.
Mr. Dos lives!!! God for you, Sarah!!!
Every time you say "hall effects sensor", Gwen Stefani's song Holobeck Girl lights
up in me brain, hard to follow you after that. Congrats on your success.
I love that song!!!!!!!
I am N - Tuned to your personality, quality of videos and all your content regardless of what you are sharing with us! Please keep on being exactly who you are!
You are a legend!!!!
It was fantastic to hear Mr. Dos finally run. Ok he sounded a bit rough as he wasn't tuned properly yet but he ran. Brilliant stuff
We were all cheering for you Sarah!! So happy when it fired up I smiled.
Hooray for Sarah
Sarah one
MR2 bupkiss
a tremendous amount of work you just put into something that most wouldn't even dream of trying
way to go girl you did it !!!!!!!!
You're hilarious, why can't there be more women like you in this world
There are they are turning on her cam at night. Heh heh geh
@@rsprockets7846 There's always one pisshead
There are, I got two of those ✌
There are, ✌️more in my casa lol
There are Karl, but they don't do streams so they don't have to deal with some of the f-wit comments some of these other wankers pipe up with.
I so like how you showed how excited you were at 14.19 thank you..
I might need to rewatch all the MR2 videos and do a valve cover removal count...
Yeah - a year in lockdown will do that to a person! 😂
I would think given the magnitude and complexity of re-wiring a whole car after replacing the ECU, that it has gone fairly smoothly. Well done Sarah. plus as always, impressive quality of work too. Another step closer to putting her back on the road!!
Your a Badass!
Love your attention to detail and honesty.....
I can't be the only one to notice how excited Sarah got getting it started.
Congrats Sarah!! Job well done!!
Are you kidding me you’re amazing with what you do. We’re all learning all the time:)
Hey, at least it was only the fuel line routing, and not something that might have needed another week's work. Congratulations on finally getting it running!
I’ve been “N TUNED” to your vlog from day one.
Yay! I knew you could get it running. You rock!
Woo Hoo! Mr. Dos lives!! (not that there was ever any doubt - with your persistence and attention to detail, it was just a matter of time..) Congrats!
I almost spit my food out when you said stop coming, it's in my hair, that's gross 🤣😆🤪
I can understand the "burned out" feeling when working so long on a project. It happens to so many. But you pushed forward until you fixed everything to make it run. That is the commendable part. I am impressed with your knowledge of the engine and all it takes to make it work properly. Instead of feeling bad about making a mistake, pat yourself on the back for sticking with it. The reward IS self satisfaction... Thumbs Up!
Ah the double entendres flow freely...🤣🤣🤣🤣
oo no its raining again lucky your working inside in that nice workshop . im glad you explain things so clearly .when i worked as a mechanic many years ago i found working on cars to have so many complications remove this remove that in order to replace a part etc . it makes the job take so much longer . yet the pride and achievement of getting the job completed was really worth the effort . your looking nice and fit from all that exercise working on cars Sarah .
Way to stay with it. With so much going on in the engine bay , you definitely get a pass for not catching the fuel rail hiccup. Great job , tune that thing and do a test drive. That’s worth watching after all your hard work !!
I literally cheered when the car started! I love your work Sarah you rock!!
How cool and exciting for you.
Always good to get another set of eyes on the problem 'cause it's easy to get tunnel vision on diagnosing stuff. Great outcome!
I'm not in tune with goats though, lol
Lol
You did an awesome job and so did Jimmy and Charlie! Mr. Dos is alive! Vroom vroom!
Congratulations on a 1st fire!
Thank you for your service, Sarah! Very cool MR2. Aim High!
Captain Slow in the background patiently waiting for you to convert the MR to Hydrogen.
"STOP CUMMING!!!"
LOL
Glad you got the thing running. That's gonna be a sweet ride when it's all finished.
