MR2 Upgrades Install! & Mini JDM Junkyard Find

[@ROACHRAGE2]

I have to say that the fact that you rev-match when downshifting tells me you're the real deal. Most guys don't even know what that is, much less girlz. Kudos. I kind of got chills when I heard that.

[@DE-ok4ld]

Nice job getting her "running" Your perseverance is unbelievable!

[@tylerhunt7552]

Mr2 is coming together, looking good, and sounding good. Just keep it. It's super cool.

[@Raevenswood]

I've been binging your videos for the last several days and I have to commend you on the production quality, everything from the editing to the music selection is choice! This is inspiring me to start documenting my own builds in the future. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@crxdelsolsir]

It is a love hare relationship for me with cars, they are a source of never ending fun, a past time and gives a sense of joy and gratification (when things work out and successful). However on the other side to me they are also the complete opposite being a source of sorrow (car getting vandalised), lost time and anguish (never ending work).

[@St.111]

I've a rev 2 and 3 Mr2 turbo. One red, other white. Love them. I work in crash repair and I'm a painter by trade. The Mr2 is safe to 1bar or 14lbs of boost on the stock head gasket. Anything more and you'll need a steel gasket to handle it. Might not sound like much since they boost at 0.7 stock. But it makes a huge difference, just need a fuel cut defender switch just incase of spiking with the stock gasket, by far the biggest performance upgrade is a decat exhaust system. It really gives them a kick up the ass on power! Enjoy your vids, best of luck with the rest of the build. 👍

[@davidproctor9079]

I love how far Mr. Dos has come. Tonight I finally get to tear down my 3sgte we took out of my mr2 a month ago! your channel gives me inspiration.

[@Blackdog06019]

I absolutely love your weird hellos! Don't ever stop them!

[@RobertsChannell]

that ^^^^^^^ ;)

[@MrWilde]

You just can't help yourself can you Sarah. That's why your so awesome, love your work.

[@swwy5]

there is no greater satisfaction than the satisfaction of a task done well! Well done, Sarah!

[@LearningJeff]

Love that boost smile! Well, love THAT smile all the time, but that was a fun one.😊

[@VBeatstep]

Holy hell, that sounds amazing! Man I can't wait to this build finished. It's awesome to see how much she cares about the work she puts into the car

[@nyxfirefly]

Congrats on getting it up and running properly! Big respect to you taking on such a big challenge!!

[@neomags]

Totally Love you and your humor Sarah! 11:16

[@mikec3955]

Hi Sarah, quick tip: You can get a white paint pen at any craft store or most drugstores, and use that to "paint" your timing marks.. makes it way easier to see them.

[@stuartramsay]

Hi Sarah I’m Stu I love the content on MR DOS, I have a mr2 mk2 91 rav1 3sge jdm spec 😝 here in the uk I’m always looking forward to your new videos 👌🏻 your so quirky and the innuendos are great you make me chuckle it’s always great to watch your channel.

[@RigiLiquid945]

5:13 I was in college when this car was new. I must be cool because of how old I am. In late 1992, my parents bought a red '93 Mazda MX6 Mystère (Canadian moniker) 5 speed manual. Never drove it in the winter and kept it for over 20 years. My mom still misses that car the most. The seats were so low to the ground, I didn't enjoy getting in and out of it.

[@davidbee3448]

So love the innuendos and cheeky innocent smiles at 11:18 :-) x

[@danidavjdah3401]

Hi sarah Im so proud od the great work you do for us gearheads. Ciao dniella

[@digitalchino420]

Haha, That's my boy Wyatt's mustang. He's a good guy. Keep em rolling Sarah!

[@michaelsullivan5397]

Back in the days of yonder when typewriters were around, I used White Out correction fluid to mark timing marks. Now you can use a white model paint pen to mark them.

[@jeffjeff4477]

Gosh, I may be addicted to this channel. lol. And I'm a diy Porsche guy! loco

[@morethanaveragejoe8224]

"Dude! This is no joke. It's really tight. It doesn't matter how much lube I use...I just can't get it in there." - The lovely sparkley-eyed Sarah -n- Tuned Keep 'em coming Sarah. Love it. :)

[@markjmaxwell9819]

Used to work for Toyota Love the little MR2 turbo. So much potential if done properly. Slightly bigger turbo better exhaust and clutch. Keep up the good work on the pocket rocket.

[@vintagespeed]

i keep a bottle of white nail polish in my garage....i use it to mark TDC and base advance on the pulley or damper. so i can see it while timing. use whatever color you like. :)

[@HeidiandFranny]

I've always been a fan of the Mr2 :) I bet that car is super fun to drive! Yea on the fog lights!

[@mobiltans]

I love that smile of yours! That MR2 gave you hell for so long! WOW I'm so impressed you got Mad skills! LAKERS

[@DrShankenstein]

Great job, Sarah!!!! You've put a lot into it! You should be proud! I loved seeing that smile! Again, great job!

[@celestinoybarra3057]

I used to own a 91 turbo mr2 and I still smile when I think about her. Let me warn you if you turn up the boost you wont sell it, great job on the video.

[@bbgcars]

AHH THE WORLD FAMOUS HKS super sequential BOV...that sound is unmistakable.

[@350JS]

Nice video, can't believe you found a Starion there. My first car was a 89' Chrysler Conquest TSi with 5k miles. Black on Black...hated the rock hard seats but loved the car....wish I would've kept it. I bought it from a old man for $3500 when I was 16 in 1992.

[@unclefuruncle]

Sarah, your videos are the best on the whole interwebs! They are informative, hilariously funny and - and that's the biggest point - they are so honest! You are so into the car-stuff and the things you're doing, it is unbelievable... Pure Gold! Besides you're absolutely beautiful - you are a woman of dreams... Keep up your amazing good videos!! I'm looking forward for every new episode... All the best from Germany - around 150 km away from the "Grüne Hölle" :-)

[@1badk20]

I have a Red 1989 MR2 SC 5-Speed Manual (Final year for Gen1) with the Factory Intercooled 4A-GZE. Fun little car, and it is in near perfect condition with 89,532 miles on the clock. I bought it in 2005 from the original owner. It even has the factory radio, wheels, intake, and exhaust, which most people change almost immediately. A/C has been converted over to R134a and works great. All I have done is 5% Window Tint (I Live in Vegas, and the Heat Sucks), New Tires, New Brakes all Around, Every Fluid Changed, New Interstate AGM Battery, Plugs/Wires, Distributer Cap/Rotor, and Timing Belt/Tensioner. I tried to use all Toyota Parts where ever possible. I would love to Turbo Swap it, but have been debating it because of how clean and original it is. That guy that sold me my MR2, bought a 1995 MR2 Turbo, which had 32,xxx original miles on it. He paid a ridiculous amount for it, but it looks like a brand new car. It is 100% stock.

[@s.reynolds3415]

I'm glad you stuck with the MR2 build. You have some serious drive!

[@QuartzE-cb3cp]

The best smile and happy unique personality.

[@ValenNitto]

You give me inspiration to continue working on my project car. Was thinking about selling it but I'm gonna keep it and try to get as close to how much detail you put in.

[@MrMN007]

Your jokes are hilarious. Great to see the MR2 sorted. So Happy... Keep up the awesome videos

[@egonsiyou]

I think im in love with you.. Your vids are so informative, super thorough!

[@juricabubnjaric5190]

You are amazing, watching your videos is so satisfying, relaxing and full of positivity.. Just wow ! ❤️

[@drewames254]

Absolutely awesome Sarah ! Love that ear to ear cheek to cheek smile :D Great job,Mr. Dose has come a long way thanks so much for sharing.

[@turbo2ltr]

Nice work as always! Moving right along with these cars! BTW it's 10 degrees "Before" top dead center. Timing is typically measured Before TDC as in firing the plug (in this case 10 degrees) before the piston reaches TDC. Firing after TDC greatly reduces power.

[@troymattingly3071]

MR2's are so attractive in a mystical way. Looks so good red!

[@jim76hr]

Love the obscure jump ins.

[@southpawsgarage]

YOUR MECHANICAL SKILLS ARE IMPRESSIVE....AMAZING...!!..GREAT JOB!!

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Enjoyed the road trip for parts (as always) and the shop tour. Congrats on Mr.dose - very exciting Sarah. Hope Sarah ST is doing well. Ciao.

[@joebutta7539]

Thanks for giving the starquest some love!😄

[@markn2904]

Sarah smiling, it's a good thing.

[@jamiebeckf]

I'm pleased your keeping the 91 styling. I have a 91 and am doing the same. It has an older skool look to it that i prefer. Congrats on the progress. Makes the low points you had worth it doesn't it. MR2s are a little bit of a challenge to own but so rewarding to drive. I will be doing a 2GR V6 swap on mine next year and will try to do a KZbin series on it.

[@jason65r]

Many years ago. I had just changed the exhaust on a turbo car before a long trip of over 2000 miles and the exhaust was droning terribly. After many attempts every 200 miles or so, at different exhaust shops along the way, to try to remedy this problem!! The final fix was to extend the tip of the exhaust past the furthest most part of the bumper by a millimeter or two. It instantly solved the problem. Hope this is of some help. Thank you for your Great video's

[@gt6champnk69_dk4]

Nice to see it coming along Sarah❤👍. OMG😱, that garage you went to.... Those cars and the music beats was really exciting, Awesome. I'm really sad to hear that about your grandma, and little Sarah's mom😢😘❤. Sending my deepest condolence to both of you, may they both rest in peace. Big hugs😘❤ Yours truly, Jesper Christensen🇩🇰

[@markphilpot4981]

Sounds as if you are having second thoughts about Mr Dos. You have certainly been putting in the work on him. I understand that and I also know you want to put something else together in lieu of him. Our support is for you and our love also. Press on Sarah! 💖

[@Nick-vk4zv]

I love all your naughty little innuendos they make me smile..... Mr dos sounds so good

[@biffnarzilla4649]

It's been more than a couple of days since Sarah last posted and I was beginning to miss her. No really. Nice to see such a long drawn-out project nearing it's final stages. And it's nice to see Sarah finally smiling again.

[@TopSecretVid]

It’s rad that you know the cars you are looking at. Impressive..my kind a gal. Super rare!!

[@jollyrogersilversparrow8418]

love the down to earth humor :) and cool i want mr2 some day

[@luckysythe]

2:32 sounds amazing 🤩

[@boosted2.4_sky]

You know honestly when it comes to intercooler piping CXRacing is the best bang for your buck it doesn't all have to be Vibrant.... and uh....5:42 Daaaaaammmmnnnn...... 14:55...I gotta say I think it sounds pretty badass And the struts need replaced... You forgot that at the end of the video..... Noice work.... Your MR II is badass. ....

[@Tenright77]

The Supra front clip was right hand drive. Thanks for sharing....

[@robcreel4257]

You do great work! Cars and camera. All the blood sweat and tears to get Mr Dos to this point, your smile is well deserved giving it the beans! Harrison Performance was pretty cool. Funny how you mentioned The Fast and the Furious junkyard. I thought the same thing.

[@alanhanniffy8177]

I hate blue silicone too! Great to see you enjoying it so much and reaping the rewards, keep up the awesome work

[@manualsmunitions7545]

Hahahaha best innuendo joke yet! So awesome to see the progress, Mr Dos has come so far! I think it sounds pretty good myself, I wouldn’t mind rolling T-Tops off listening to that all day!

[@trob7348]

I love your mind you are so unique keep on doing your thing

[@mymoparstoo]

Great job Sarah! You did it!

[@glennshughes]

Hey Sarah -n- Tuned just keep doing you and the channel will thrive. Im even thinking of pulling the dust cover of my 2001 MR2 and doing some bits and bobs on it.

[@gbowne1]

I always love when you get giddy over parts there beauty :)

[@gbowne1]

that smile.. :)

[@catfishcorner7116]

Hey Sarah your MR2 is a dope build I can’t wait to see your Audi get finished as well! I love your smile!🐟

[@rob8082010]

That was the best innuendo yet! 🤣👍

[@BdeSimon]

Ooo baby Mr. Dos sounds real good now Sarah 😬😁

[@alrestauro]

WOW! Amazing Mr2 awesome work can't wait to watch for the next episode!

[@BADD400]

[@paulfiorillo6873]

It’s because of you that I know call all Toyota MR2s Mr. Dos

[@AgeCobra]

Congrats on job well done Sarah .I know those cars are not easy .

[@codenamejordan7520]

You always find the best music

[@orbitalair2103]

She'll keep it, and sell all the others, you know you will ! Cool car.

[@ChevyCitation]

This may sound strange but that way you started MR-DOS at 1:38 was Awesome : )

[@DanGerous6230]

If you can't get that charge pipe on try spitting on it, it might help it slide in. It has worked for me from time to time.

[@82leone]

Great work as always Sarah. I really like the little Mr2 will be sad when it goes to its new home lol B-)

[@BoostedMonkey4g63]

Next time take out the hks bov shell in order to remove the c clip, you only need to remove like 3-4 bolts in the front the short one not the long ones.

[@steveg5864]

Been watching from the first vid of Mr. Dos, so happy for you !!

[@dwn5hft]

That Lincoln had suicide doors! That's like what a 72 - 74? Awesome!

[@shaunhoover2751]

Hilarious lube joke!🤣

[@Iskelderon]

^^ She just had to go there! :D

[@brianrrr]

That’s going to be my new ring tone. Haha

[@robertgeorge2170]

I laughed so hard I shot pop out of my nose...good times

[@mzondi1970]

First let me say when you went to the shop that have but intercooler piping fixed the makeup you had on was on point. The MR2 has been my favorite so far I'm not much on German cars anyway it's definitely had its ups and downs but you stuck with it good job

[@MichaelRotchell71]

Well done Sarah, love your work keep having fun

[@Neo63100]

Thanks Sarah I want a MR2 now!!

[@Iskelderon]

Congrats on reaching another milestone!

[@Christob13]

Phrasing! Love the Videos Sarah. Keep them coming!

[@tylerloertscher7322]

Damn!!!..0-60 in five days....perfect.......Speed limit 25mph..MR2 do your best!!!...;)lol...but joking aside ...awesome job on the rebuild...cant imagine the time it takes to do these vids and logistics of getting all the parts and small stuff that takes time ….congrats on the build ...keep it up..:)

[@kinerf1312]

great vid ! you're doing fine ! Loved your excitement while testing Mr. DOS !!!

[@natenizz8930]

As long as it doesn't squirt coolant too soon, I can get that piping in there. I got the one size fits all.

[@georgearmerding]

the engine bay is so clean, its pretty...

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

MR2 sounds lit 🔥! When I was 11 yrs old my parents bought a brand new 1983 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo in red. We had the oooooonly one in town haha. So crazy you saw one!

[@AudioAdvisory38]

Thank you so much for the boneyard walk.

[@davidmcc6201]

You should paint the timing marks with a white paint pen

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

+1 for the HKS parts! Way cool - I'm soooo Jelly on the MR2!

[@HankAttack89]

Great video as always. You did a great job

[@geofftheintern]

Cool....now he sounds like a new boat!

[@lawrenceoriola9167]

3sgts is ONE of the best 4 Cylinder engine. I have a Gen 1 MR2 and i convert it with 3SGTE engine and she fly every time :D :D

[@rice-rocket]

The HKS dump valve sounds good. 👌 I run a Go Faster Bits dump valve on my STI, set to fully vent to air.😎

[@elektrofry]

omg, that green RX-7. *drool* - on another note. the silicon hoses i have on my black 03 WRX are made by samco and are black. you could check with them. I've had them on there since '03 and they're great quality.

[@MajorMokoto]

Sarah! Just a tip, don't leave that tape on the temp tag on your rear window defroster lines. If the sun gets on it, it can bake the tape on and destroy the defroster line. Get the tape so it's only on the glass.
