From the wretch of a car that barely dragged it's butt home to AZ, and started it's transformation at your hands, to the car it has become today is a rather astounding transformation. You deserve quite a bat on the back for your efforts, Great work. Great videos
I had some Cray wheels (made by TSW) on my last Z06. It put out about 500hp and even after 8 years of "spirited" driving I never had an issue with the wheels. No warping, no stress fractures, nothing! My new one has a lot more power so I've had to go forged but those TSWs were great. Cheers, Sarah.
Hey Sarah, you definently need newbolts for your wheels. I dont know how its called in english but the edges of vw/audi bolts are round ballshaped „kugelbund“, the aftermarket wheels need straight coneshaped bolts „kegelbund“.
OK, a year-plus late, and maybe already mentioned but, add a thin layer of anti-seize where the wheel hub and brake rotor hub make contact and you will never have to punch the wheel to get it loose to take off again. And, I know YOU don't need to be told this but, make sure both surfaces are clean and dry of any contaminants beforehand!
Definitely waxing the wheels before they get covered in heavy brake dust helps when it comes time to clean them. Most people just hit them with harsh wheel cleaners scrub then that’s it 🤦♂️ If you wax them you don’t need anything more than the regular car soap and regular cleaning. Normally I’m not a fan of saying this but yes definitely needs more low 🍺😂👍🏽
Your TT is quickly coming along faster than mine and I’m becoming jealous 😂. I recommend stoptech rotors, pads and stainless lines, just added them to my build and they look amazing
Those new wheels look fantastic on the car. You might remember I was a bit bummed that you removed the plastidip from the old ones, but I'll say you made the right call here.
Those new wheels look sooooooooo much better than the stock option. Also, ceramic coating your wheels is a thing. I had it done on mine recently when I had the whole car coated, it's a good choice and makes it much easier to keep them clean.
I'm waiting for her to slide out the other side of the frame because she did it wrong/too fast... either by accident or intentionally for comedic value. (hint hint Sarah)
I did not like those new wheels at all until you revealed them on the TT and then I saw their magic, they are going to make the brake upgrade really pop!
By way of comparison... on human-powered bicycles it is said that 2 pounds off the wheels is like 4 pounds off the frame because it's rotating mass, so 3.8 pounds off each corner at the increased rotation of a car, that gives you much better acceleration and better braking.
Those wheels look spot on! That 240 reminds me of the one I had, same color. Loved that car, should have kept it😢 I kinda like the look of Mr. Dos without the fender... he looks battle ready. Teeter tot looks tons better than when you picked it up, you are making great progress!
They look good. Was looking to possibly doing something similar on my 05 gto, although one of the last owners already put some wide 19” ruff racing rims on the car, they’re chrome and the car is red. Black rims would look better and I’d just want a different design altogether
As a 30 year automotive technician , don't use your hand as a hammer . You will regret it later on in life . Love the videos . You make my day , thanks .
You are not as late in life as me . My body including my hands hurt every day . I regret all the abuse I've put my body through over the years . But hind sight is 20/20. Keep up the good work .
That is a very good reduction in weight at the corners! Good stuff! You got some really good wheels. I was worried you would pick something heavier like near anybody that gets new wheels almost always makes the mistake of doing. For some reason that lift you have set up makes me nervous...
Lol we have the same forklift at the winery and I had to move a Connex building like that too I was super freaked out too, either way Sarah good choices on getting Michelin‘s I’ve been helping with mine on the Subie.
Awesome video, Sarah. The car looks great with that tire and wheel combo. Also, I'm glad to see you're getting some use out of the impact gun I sent out. Keep up the great work. Teeter Tot' s coming along very nicely.
Congrats on the 100K subs!! That's awesome, but also just one milestone down!! Onward towards 1Million subs!! Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to all who want to build sweet rides!! (And have fun doing it!!)
Just a thought... You should have ceramic quartz coated (CarPro C.Quartz) your wheels before putting on your tires it really does make a difference when you wash your car dirt floats right off! Just a thought! Anyway, AWESOME Teeter Tot, Sarah! Also love the time laps editing!
0:24 - not to be picky, but wheels don't mount to tires. Each tire is mounted on a wheel (rim). Did you ask them to fill the tires with summer or winter air? Awesome video. You do great work. Have you decided whether or not to do a SEMA build?
A new smell for Sarah! Robot farts, burned power steering fluid and now 'Hot Rubber'! I feel a fragrance line coming on ... 'Sarah's Car Scents' ... Aromatherapy for gear heads. A little behind each ear ladies ...
Hello Sarah I own a 2002 tt Quattro roadster w/115k miles we are having an issue of exhaust fumes coming into the cabin with the heat on. We had the whole PVC system replaced that did nor solve the problem, the repair shop could not find the problem though said it was fixed My husband and I are at a loss do you have any suggestions that would be a great help we have just recently replaced heater core and others to much to mention it is still a great car my husband (Will) is obsessive about keeping it clean Just watched the Haldex video we replaced that about 5 yrs ago Cheer's Karen Wellington
shouldve painted the calipers red while the wheels were uninstalled! and definitely get 5% tints all around with the windshield eyebrow and 50% for the windshield.
Sarah, what impact were you using to remove the wheel lug bolts ? Ive been looking for a nice cordless Impact instead of having to fire up my compressor all the time...my neighbors would probably appreciate it also. Thanks! Keep up the great work.
I love your videos and I really like and appreciate the way you explain everything with good detail. Another thing that makes your videos really good is that you are not a Jim or Bob.. Your personality is great and you are friggin beautiful! Love the sound of your voice too. Anyway back to business, I am sure you inspire people to try doing some things for themselves with cars or life in general... I'm looking forward to seeing you on your own show some day doing what ever the heck you want to do....Have a great day/night...
Your Edit is ___"RIPE" music always refreshing. Wheels and tires... Always first mod. ..awesome bigger lighter stickier. Handling and stopping better....NICE!
wheel combo looks great! Make my night shift little bit more enjoyable Sarah... take care and look forward to the next video anddddd congrats on breaking 100k!!!!
Not only are you great with cars, but your videos have excellent production value! Great work Sarah!

Remember to verify if the wheels / bolts are ball seat shape or cone seat shape ? Great vid as always Sarah!
Stefan Czechorski I did
@@SarahnTuned lol !

Your camera work is excellent! It's amazing you can do all the composition and work on the car at the same time.
Those wheels made a huge difference. Glad to see it coming together slowly but surely.

Sarah, what you have done so far to teeter tot is amazing!!!!!!! Keep it up!! This car is going to be so cool when you are done!
Nice, I had a black 2003 225 quattro when I was younger. Got a tuned MK2 now with RS Amplified alloys and few other mods
Those new wheels look fantastic on the car. You might remember I was a bit bummed that you removed the plastidip from the old ones, but I'll say you made the right call here.
Happy Veterans Day Sarah! Thank you for serving our country! 🇺🇸
I love that blue-green on that S14 too. The '90s had some cool car colors you just don't see any more.
Those new wheels look sooooooooo much better than the stock option. Also, ceramic coating your wheels is a thing. I had it done on mine recently when I had the whole car coated, it's a good choice and makes it much easier to keep them clean.
Been watching the past 6 months and subscribed.. love your sense of humor. Very entertaining...keep it up. One of my favorite car repair channels.😁
As an camera guy from years past I Love your work with filming. As a D.O.M. I enjoy your double ententes please keep them up! LOL.
Less of a Teeter Turd and more of a Tot Rod. Looks good. Other than paint, biggest change you can make. New wheel day is the funnest.
The 240 colour is called Amazonas Green Pearleffect, my A4 has the same one, love it too!
You should use the factory 4 ring center cap. The wheels will be more eye catching. Super cool TT build.
I like how you are so dedicated to creating content and taking the time and effort to make everything like nice for us viewers.
Anybody else patiently waiting for the seat slide salute in every video?
When she does it I think "Awkward Slide..." It's from HISHE Battle of 5 Armies.
I'm waiting for her to slide out the other side of the frame because she did it wrong/too fast... either by accident or intentionally for comedic value. (hint hint Sarah)
Absolutely!
So great is the way you did your reveal on the wheels for Teeter Tot. = ) That was my inner Yoda speaking just then!!!! LOL
Another great episode with Mr Dos!
Plenty of innuendo as well...classic Sarah!
You’re awesome!
Music was on point in this video Sarah!
Glad to see you hanging that BY FLCIA plate proudly 😄
-Adam
Had to wait till the end to get my phone back .... 6yo daughter loves the TT & watching you working on it. 👍

Teeter tot's makeover is coming along very nicely!
Blue/Green is what they called Teal. I had a Olds Cutlass that color.
The new wheels look boss!!! It was very nice of that company to send them to you. You need some cross drilled rotors with those.
Love all the fun camera angles! Great work
They look good. Was looking to possibly doing something similar on my 05 gto, although one of the last owners already put some wide 19” ruff racing rims on the car, they’re chrome and the car is red. Black rims would look better and I’d just want a different design altogether

Looks great! Now all you need is some low but not too much low.
The reveal on the whole car camera shots were really cool
Does ceramic coating really help black rim's stay clean I have a set on my car and it is doing my head in trying to keep them clean.
I liked the shot with the rocks in the foreground. Very artsy! :)
Finally getting caught up on your channel! Wheel look amazing, fit is perfect!!
Sarah you deserve a 1,000000 subs, and congrats on 100,000 your videos are one of the best on you tube mate regards from down under Australia
If you get the a wheel hanging stud (ex. Google Schwaben Wheel Hanger - M14x1.5 Thread), it's much easier to mount dismount the wheels.
New wheel and tire combo looks great.
Congrats on the 100K subs!! That's awesome, but also just one milestone down!! Onward towards 1Million subs!! Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration to all who want to build sweet rides!! (And have fun doing it!!)
I like the wheel reveal routine. Tha k you for putting in the time to make your videos a high value. Hope to see more. Thanks.
Just a thought... You should have ceramic quartz coated (CarPro C.Quartz) your wheels before putting on your tires it really does make a difference when you wash your car dirt floats right off! Just a thought! Anyway, AWESOME Teeter Tot, Sarah! Also love the time laps editing!
Did you check to make sure that the wheels have ball seats for the wheel bolts? Most aftermarket wheels are cone shaped seats...
TT is looking really good.. You've done an amazing job on it. Keep on rockin girl.
0:24 - not to be picky, but wheels don't mount to tires. Each tire is mounted on a wheel (rim).
Did you ask them to fill the tires with summer or winter air?
Awesome video. You do great work. Have you decided whether or not to do a SEMA build?
happy time for me. great video Sarah. good color choice on the wheels, will help to hide brake dust.
Teeter Tot looks amazing!!! You do great work!
Looks a lot better
A new smell for Sarah! Robot farts, burned power steering fluid and now 'Hot Rubber'! I feel a fragrance line coming on ... 'Sarah's Car Scents' ... Aromatherapy for gear heads. A little behind each ear ladies ...
Awesome job on the car it's really coming along you definitely have a talent for fixing cars

Lower Eibach springs and rear wheel spacers! 😉👍
Nice. Rims look sharp. Good choice.
Sarah unrelated to this car ; for mr.dos what did you do about the turbo ECU harness to the relay box in the engine bay ? Since it was an NA ?
Appearantly no one ever details the undersides of shipping containers.
Except for possibly Sarah. If she had the chance in her busy schedule...
TT looks awesome can’t wait to see it wrapped
Sarah, what impact were you using to remove the wheel lug bolts ? Ive been looking for a nice cordless Impact instead of having to fire up my compressor all the time...my neighbors would probably appreciate it also. Thanks! Keep up the great work.
Great production values and editing on this one. I love the torque-wink too!
They look terrific on TT.
HI ! SARAH ! Very nice wheels ! I like the color as well !Sending you love from Canada ! Keep the good work !
Looks really nice with those wheels, perfect pick.
I love your videos and I really like and appreciate the way you explain everything with good detail. Another thing that makes your videos really good is that you are not a Jim or Bob..

Wheels and tires... Always first mod. ..awesome bigger lighter stickier. Handling and stopping better....NICE!
which coilovers are to choose from? KW coilover?
I'm in love with that TT, great work Sarah!
Great show glad you got some sponsored stuff!!
Did you have the handbrake on when torquing the wheels? Imo it's pretty hard on the driveline to not have the handbrake on.
Dat 4x4 mode tho lol.
Wow! That car is looking great!
wheel combo looks great! Make my night shift little bit more enjoyable Sarah... take care and look forward to the next video anddddd congrats on breaking 100k!!!!
You put so much hard work into your videos! Love you!
Wow Sara...those wheels look nice on TT. Yes, needs to be lowered a little.
sooooo weird, such a geek, and we love you for it. TT looks great, better than i thought it would. working hard is paying off.
Very good look for this car. Looking forward to the coming changes.
It will be awesome to paint your calipers!! Great video.
GM had a Color like that, called Blue/Green Crystal on trucks/ suvs Soo pretty
Hi Sarah. So nice to see you again. Love the variety of content you have on your channel. Keep up the great work. Love from Michigan!! :-)
The wheels look great, excellent choice! I love your videos, thanks for sharing them, I know it’s a lot of work to film and edit.
Teeter Tot looks great !!! Nice work !
The 240 is named 200 sx in Australia!🙂
Sarah, try R1 Concept, they will hook you up some rotors for good deals
Great choice on wheels, car looks amazing!
Sarah. You should put wheels studs on the TT. Much better to deal with taking the wheel off and on
Hi Sarah, from the UK what size wheels are those and what is the ET?
You fit 245 tyres without any spacers?
I love that 240
Got new tires the other day. Love that smell. Not weird
Thank you for the GTO love!
Looks great, they would look really good on my A4.
Hi Sarah The mags wheels looks amazing! Love you're work and vlogs
