Sarah, Don't ask for forgiveness. You're giving it to us real, exactly how I'm sure most of us would want it. No Hollywood. Mad respect. Looking forward to more wiring videos :)

[@mikespangler98]

Don't apologize, I'll consider this fair warning as the complexity of wiring in a modern car. Eek.

[@multishit6664]

Exactly..anyone whos even dabbled in building a harness knows shit gets real deep real quick..unless its not your first rodeo lol.

[@Primus54]

Perfectly said. 👍

[@johnmccabe7645]

So my thing is guitars and I do this level of detail on my electrics. I applaud you again Sarah.

Absolutely-awesome

[@michaelcousins2526]

This isnt a give away build, you arent on a time crunch, take the time you feel you need to finish it to your high standard! We will be here the whole time! Love the dedication!

[@joenelson]

It takes as many videos as it takes. I'd rather see half a dozen wiring videos than get a false sense of the labor required. It just makes my respect for your skills grow. Keep at it so we can hear it fire up!

[@giovannicintolo89]

I think the audience you've gathered really enjoys the incredible attention to detail on things like the wiring. Keep it up, beautiful work.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

Sarah is not afraid of showing the tedious and less glamorous parts of a car resto.

[@DavidBrumbeloeJr]

And I'm loving it. The extra detail is incredibly helpful. Just learning some of the differences between the 1UZ, 2UZ, and 3UZ (as well as transmission and wiring discussions) have been and will be insanely helpful for myself in the future and would have saved myself some time and money 15 years ago on another project I did, discussing the use of the 1UZ and using the R-154 transmission. Sarah used the W-58 and I understand why, but I absolutely loved using the R-154 behind my Ford engine project. Super smooth and super strong transmission. Toyota outdid themselves using it. I've learned so much watching these videos and I've remembered many things I had forgotten since my last project.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Breathe... Relax... We, the audience, are NOT gonna abandon you! You've got this!

These videos are great. I'm going to appreciate the finished product all that much more for knowing just how much work went into it.

I hope your subscribers and viewers appreciate the stress-creating high-wire act you go through to be a KZbin creator solely dependent upon the ever-changing YT metrics while having to keep up this insane schedule of output. There are benefits to being your own boss, but stress avoidance isn’t one of them. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@mattferguson6631]

Never apologize for your amazing talents. Your true followers watch your genius even when the videos are, as you say aren’t “interesting”. Make 20 wiring videos of you need, we’ll keep watching!

"Dont want to half ass it" - This is why MR DOS is a happy moving car and not a dead static bucket on wheels somewhere. The 74 celica will live. And there will be much rejoicing. Don't change a thing. This is educational and inspiring 👍

[@SarahnTuned]

..with the exception of the E85/91 flex fuel tune. I just don’t trust anyone local to tune it though.

[@LanguidFuzzBeast]

Indeed. I'm looking forward to that :). An expert on tuning alternate fuels - a must to do. Depending on your intentions for power/mpg - 30% on power would be very attainable, and some closure on the mpg gap. Higher CRs - more alcohol likes. In general the 3S run cooler, and produce more low end torque. The last video with Angel on the junkyard crawl brought a smile - the Nissan trucks, mine even has the original butter yellow lol. For some reason I thought you ran across a 4th gen Celica in there too for the fuse box/plugs. I have one of those too. Another reason I like what you done with MR DOS - that same generation 3S engine :). I will continue to watch with *baited* breath. Love your work.

[@waynetokarz174]

Your level of integrity and professionalism put you at the top of your industry. You owe no one any form of apology.

[@silo_fx3182]

Yes, pretty sure we know how much work goes in to your wiring. Your audience is here to see exactly that. We DON'T want to see you stressed out. Chill, film, take your time. These videos are my favorite from your channel as I LOVE how interesting and clear you describe what you are doing. In it for the long haul...

[@darbbively3406]

I love your wiring videos. It isn't covered much in Internet car videos, you do a great job of it, and the scale of wiring has changed enormously between 70's cars (that I could sketch a working diagram from memory for) and modern cars that are so complex. There is so much to learn here. Please keep doing just what you do!

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Sara don't apologize. Wiring a car is one of the hardest and time consuming things. You are doing a GREAT JOB!😊

[@scatpack440]

Setbacks during a build is reality. Makes the end result all the more satisfying! Soldier on Sarah. Love the vids! This build is AWESOME ❤

[@rodb1646]

Much RESPECT to you. Never too much detail, never. The manner in which you are integrating the multiple platforms is next level perfection. 🤯❤️🇦🇺

SO much BETTER than the typical car builder...

[@coreyhoffer5462]

Do it right the first time and you’ll never regret it. Your dedication to the cars and their history is amazing.

[@ColeSpolaric]

Throttle cable would be period correct, but drive by wire will make the tuning much easier when you get there. And since you're using an aftermarket ECU, you can make it essentially feel like there is a cable, unlike modern cars that have lag for "emissions and fuel economy". Also, next time you do wiring schematics, get yourself some kind of touch screen monitor. It'll be way easier than a whiteboard, and you can save the schematic.

[@robertwebb7152]

You and I are so alike it’s scary. I’ll drop everything to go investigate whatever jet is flying by. After 20 years in the Navy fixing avionics, your wiring videos are my favorites! Your attention to detail and humor are always on point.

[@jerrycapizzi2081]

Such amazing dedication to detail. Sarah would have made an excellent network engineer.

[@blanchae]

The wiring videos are actually quite fascinating. There's almost no-one publishing this information to the detail that you are doing. I must say that it was a lot easier rewiring my 1954 Pontiac's SBC engine. One wire alternator, two wires (power and tach) to the HEI distributor and the starter circuit. Done!

[@everready19373]

FMC, wow! That was a blast from the past. I loved it when the F-15's would do FMC sorties. They'd be halfway down the runway with the gear up and full afterburners. At EOR they'd pull straight up and climb flip and do a roll. It was awesome to watch. Basically the entire flight line would stop to watch.

[@macxgeek]

The wiring stage when adapting one thing to another is always my favorite part. Your attention to detail is amazing. Love it!

Looking at all the wiring, aside from being nothing I understand in the slightest, I just have a tremendous amount of respect for you, Sarah. I think 99% of people would just be like, "Daaaaamn.
