Sarah continues to find combinations of words not previously encountered as a group in the English language: "There's a crow playing soccer on the roof with an acorn right now." Right up there with "That's the banjo player's Porsche."
Thank you for the comparison of the '90s Japanese car to old school American iron. I'm one of the people you aimed it at, I understood that the parts you were using are special, but now I understand a little better. 🙂 I love that you show use of the service manual for the car. So many "car youtubers" don't even use torque wrenches, much less look up how an operation is properly performed. You're the best.
In their defense, most car TH-camrs are not actually mechanics. If I do something improper I have no excuse because I went to school for aerospace maintenance and did it for over a decade as a career.
Stumbled across your channel last week and I am dumbfounded. Your attention to detail, your persistence and absolute brilliance in creating videos is amazing. Never seen anything like you. Funny, smart, you are incredible. I wish you continued success as I rummage through your catalog of interesting vehicles, great insight and great shows. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
Always great to see another JDM upgrade to Mr. Dos. Perhaps once you get the tune, you could produce a new car review video. Loved your “commercial” for the t-shirt! 🤣 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
I agree with others, you announcing how long it takes to do certain things that others would make seem took minutes is refreshing. For those of us who've worked on cars, things always seem to take longer than expected.
Anyone who questions your dedication is severely lacking. Your attention to detail is the stuff of legend Sarah. No slack or slacker, never will and can’t be. Hardcore, full bore and no regrets! Yeah buddy! Go Sarah! Press on! Love seeing Mr Dos getting some love! I remember the garage days.👍🏻💖
Thanks for reminding us that you choose the parts. It's easy to forget that many big automotive youtubers do not - they use what they are sponsored to use. So as consumer advice goes it's great to know what someone like you actually wants to use.
Your attention to detail (cleaning the inside of things that will not be seen after assembly), your dedication to authenticity, your knowledge and resourcefulness, your jokes, as well as many more things than I can list, make your content so enjoyable. But everyone needs/deserves those step-back-and-let-it-go breaks from time to time, including you. I can wait a couple extra days before the next video, and I would really like to see you take a break, no videoing, no editing, no sourcing/cleaning/installing parts, just Sarah time. You deserve it.
Sarah As a 66yo petrol head, and long time biker, i found that to clean all the old crud and muck from my m/c engine etc, i would spray it with engine oil and let it sit at least overnight The oil soaks into all the baked on stuff and softens it You then spray it down with your degreaser, let it follow the oil into the crud stuff for a few hours Then wash off It really helps to clean really deep seated crud..... Maybe it wont work with all these fancy new cleaners but i found it helpful Especially on the motorcycles and Italian aluminium motors .......
Your attention to detail on this OEM+ restomod MR2 build down to color matching small parts with the seat cloth is what I love so much about your content. We have similar tastes in color pallets. I’m currently saving up for a set of “blue gunmetal” (like Pokey’s) or bronze wheels for my 2021 F-150 in Lead Foot Gray. Much love from Texas!
Gall, I appreciate your honesty.... it's never a quick job, here in the UK we have to deal with rust a lot, so a basic brakes sercive to be done properly without throwing new parts at it can often take a couple of days if all goes well. power to you.
I did something similar wirh my Jeep Cherokee XJ. They only came with rear drum brakes. BUT, the Liberty was sold outside of US as Cherokee- has same 8.25 axle and has rear disc brakes option. Drop in fit , with exception of using grand Cherokee brake hoses. I can’t begin to describe how much more stop power they add. And then I upgraded my single diaphragm brake booster to double diaphragm from 95-96 model- again drop in fit. Well done and fantastic scores for the MR2 brakes. Look forward to seeing the MC and Brake booster upgrades and demo.
I'm again watching car related stuff on the internet! I just LOVE the work you & my other favorite car restorer M539 Restorations! You both put so much into getting parts cleaned and replaced, so the car looks better than brand new. Also really impressed with those two pot rotors, they look awesome!!
I enjoyed Kirby's commentary 😂 That blue/green color goes so well with the red white scheme. It'd be neat to see touches of it hidden around the car like powdercoating the sway bar or the seat brackets to match it.
Seriously, when I open my TH-cam App and see that you have posted a new video, makes my day complete... Great work, and loving your attention to detail... Thanks Sarah
Really awesome result on MR dos. The brakes look amazing and 100% get why you did it. It's the details that make or brake (no pun intended) the end result. End result on this car is chef's kiss.
Sarah. FYI. Long cotter key with sandpaper stuck in cotter key and cotter key stuck in a drill makes a great cylinder hone for your slide pin holes on a caliper.
Hey Sarah, new on Bord thanks to the algorithm and definitely here to stay. Great content, editing and unique sense of humour! You really should have way more views. Oliver from Germany ✌🏻
I had one of these . Still don't regret selling it . Nonstop issues . The last straw was the turbo would spool but the car got no power from it and the oil light would start flickering like crazy .
The first video of yours that I watched was you fitting the yellow Bilsteins to Mr Dos. The retro upgrade brakes are spot on, wouldn’t expect anything less
You're awesome. Whatever you want to do and publish, just know that we will enjoy the heck out of it! Cragar SS wheels belong on 60's and 70's cars. Yep!
To the esoteric and often de-tuned passionate ramblings of a Sarah who locks herself in a garage with her cars everyday for our viewing pleasure and amusement. Thank you🙂
Hi Sarah, a little tiny bit of that copper anti-sieze paste on your hubs under the brake rotors helps with brake rotor heat dissipation, also a little bit on the lug nut studs helps to prevent thread galling.
Love that you used White Wheels instead of the usual black junk. Sets car off nicely. A new game to bet on ( Crows & Soccer). Sand blast calipers. I do. Hope that your wheels clear those big brakes. (Majic Ball Cream) Oh the possibilities! Another great how to video. Sarah, I would trust to go anywhere in one of your builds.
Thank you Sarah for all the work you do. I own 2 Conquests and am watching this video as I cut the clearcoat with 1000 grit on my 86. All the little stuff you do to clean and freshen up I do as well. OCD unite. As they say I feel your pain.
Beautiful MR2. I have watched you through the years upgrading , cleaning of this car. That’s why I followed your channel. I sure did like the previous wheels you had on it. But it’s a personal preference. ✌️
Hi Sarah I love your enthusiasm for fitting OEM parts which to most is above and beyond but like you I always use genuine parts and have hardly ever been disappointed in the result. I am really looking forward to seeing your face when you complete the celica (wiring has been intense) keep on rocking girl I love you and your videos John uk 🇬🇧
Love it, so jealous you were able to find a proper set of 93+T brakes for yours. Just need to find myself a set for my 91 NA... or suck it up and go to a BBK if I continue to strike out.
JDM for the win!! You lucked out hard finding all that New Old stock. 🙂 Having recently gone thru a bumper update on my own JDM, it's so nice when OEM parts fit exactly the way you want them too. All the holes line up and you don't have to be doing anything extreme to get things to fit. Now to get back to the Celica...
Some of your stream of consciousness narrative is priceless.... maybe all of it. Especially the double entendres... I enjoy listening to you solving problems, it's almost a form of ASMR. (ASMR is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. ASMR is a subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.)

Legit you holding up the caliper and announcing it took six hours is why I love your channel. It is what makes your channel so absolutely relatable.😊
I can relate.. Spent 6 hours Sunday dismantling and cleaning a 1976 Datsun 260Z instrument cluster.. Now everything works including the clock..
@@1968CudaGuyresult👏👏👏
I love your dedication to sticking with period correct manufacturer parts.
Sarah continues to find combinations of words not previously encountered as a group in the English language: "There's a crow playing soccer on the roof with an acorn right now." Right up there with "That's the banjo player's Porsche."
Nooo 😭 I actually saw it outside. It’s a huge crow and he is super weird. I seriously think it was playing up there.
@@SarahnTuned SMILE
@@SarahnTuned Of course it was. Crows used to play rugby, but then they heard about brain injuries and switched codes.
Actually I've seen crows playing with similar objects - they're very clever
I waste entirely too much time on YT, and you are the one I look forward to the most. Keep up the great work!
Whenever I sit down to YT it, I always start with the latest Sarah video, even if I've seen it twice before.

@@SarahnTuned Fair enough! I still stand by my contention you're the best, though.
That spider is from Japan, and will be 4 stories tall soon, and rampaging across Arizona.
YES another Mr. Dos episode! I've loved this car right from the beginning! The work you have done on him is Amazing Sarah!

Or even a trip video. Take a day drive, use a couple cameras, later edit out any vocals you want / need to.
I agree with others, you announcing how long it takes to do certain things that others would make seem took minutes is refreshing. For those of us who've worked on cars, things always seem to take longer than expected.
Always a big smile on my face when I see a new Sarah video announcement!
The "Tit cover" joke was :chef_kiss:
Yup. Best T-shirt promo ever!
Much better than beer gut cover.
@@nobuddy4611 Tits over beer guts, every time.
Creating a template for all future merch plugs...
Got any shirts to cover chest hair?!
Great compromise on the caliper paint. Looks great!

I think you have single handedly depleted the worlds stock of genuine NOS JDM parts

Engine oil on brake seals is a bad idea. The oil usually swells the seals, causing them to quit sealing.
@AKcess_Dnied agreed if you doing calipers. But if you rebuilding them it really doesnt matter.
Will work on the gearbox, diff, engine etc
Sarah your humor is the best!
Great vid Sarah.
Keep being you and doing what you're doing.
Absolute work of art, those rotors.
Hey Sarah, that’s awesome You were able to get those brake parts and great job with the voiceover. Mr. Dos keeps getting better and better.🐧🐧🐧👍
I wish I had found this channel sooner. All the technical info peppered throughout the vids are exactly the type of things i obsess over. 🤙

The cuts and edits in this video are absolutely top tier and why I love your channel. The effort is 100% appreciated as much as the soundtrack.

I'm in awe of your talent and work ethic!
I was just searching for the correct tires for my 90 Celica GT-S. (Yikes! )Your parts searching powers are Jedi level!!
You are a very kind person, the way you dealt with Mr Spider!

afaik the red goo is the assemblypaste for the squarerings and the piston into the caliper. For all other gaskets and pins you can use regular grease.
Thanks!
I have been watching your channel for at least 6 yrs and MR 2 is still living, this is a long term relationship
Love the fish-net wardrobe. Keep them up!
I keep getting awed by how you keep to a theme for each project. Always on point.
I love that you spared and released the little spooder.
Worked on war planes for a living, escorts desperate spider outside and releases it.
If any of you had any questions about true womanhood....
I'm again watching car related stuff on the internet! I just LOVE the work you & my other favorite car restorer M539 Restorations! You both put so much into getting parts cleaned and replaced, so the car looks better than brand new. Also really impressed with those two pot rotors, they look awesome!!
Nice to see the MR2 again. Even better were the improvements you made on the brakes.
I enjoyed Kirby's commentary 😂 That blue/green color goes so well with the red white scheme. It'd be neat to see touches of it hidden around the car like powdercoating the sway bar or the seat brackets to match it.
Can't wait for the braking test. Those are fire!
I love the factory bigger brakes setup and the old school jdm goodies. Nice job on the video too. Your graphics and editing are amazing. Thanks!
Nice to see Señor Dos back on the channel. Cool project.
Yet another fantastic upgrade
Sarah, you are brave. I am constantly impressed by what you are capable of.
Hey! ALWAYS great to see your projects & YOU, of course! Just the greatest 🙂♥️
Great job Sarah!
Big W on the calipers.
I appreciate your finds. Factory upgrades and period correct parts are fun talking points, plus quality.
I was stationed in Japan in the late 90's, early 2000's and I appreciate the small touches....love the Project Mu parts. Def doing it right 🙂
You are amazing, never change.
Seriously, when I open my TH-cam App and see that you have posted a new video, makes my day complete... Great work, and loving your attention to detail... Thanks Sarah
another professional job, i remember when those came out & i really liked them, you don't see a whole lot of them anymore.
Great content Sarah. Real content and how long it really takes. Keep up the great work. 🎉
Really awesome result on MR dos. The brakes look amazing and 100% get why you did it. It's the details that make or brake (no pun intended) the end result. End result on this car is chef's kiss.
I just finnished repairing my rear calipers on my -86 MR2, and i think your 6 hours repair time is spot on…. 😂
My buddy had one in the early 2000s..heavily modded.. Crazy lag.. Hard to drive smoothly and extremely tail happy (fun though) lol..
Project Mu excellent choice, you sure know your JDM goodness it's a treat watching your builds.
Sarah. FYI. Long cotter key with sandpaper stuck in cotter key and cotter key stuck in a drill makes a great cylinder hone for your slide pin holes on a caliper.
Great to see Mr. Dos lives
I love that you compelled us to watch 30 seconds-or-so of the video on and old Panasonic TV, just because. Interesting video, brw, as usual.
Great work Sarah! Finding those 'new ' parts is astonishing! SSGT Marc.
From somebody who loves cars and motorcycles, but who's mechanically inept, I'm in awe watching this masterpiece!
Love the colour coordination, Sarah. Mr. Dos is one special car.
Thank you for giving Mister Dos some love. Those upgrades are fire, absolute fire.
Thanks Sarah, I'll never look at T-shirts the same again 😂 and every time I watch, I learn something new. Thanks for great content!

Im always amazed how clean Sarahs wheel wells are.
Hi Sarah, a little tiny bit of that copper anti-sieze paste on your hubs under the brake rotors helps with brake rotor heat dissipation, also a little bit on the lug nut studs helps to prevent thread galling.
