My Much Needed Suspension Overhaul Begins! // Project MR2 Turbo

[@MICKBETH]

I like the squishier, I have multiple ideas on how to use this that don’t involve bushings 😂

[@onion1010]

I've watched many car shows over the years, this is adorably addictive . That's what he said.

[@raymondmimick5198]

Love the can do attitude on all these videos. Thanks for making these videos.

[@mikemo1964]

There's nothing like looking under your old MR2 and not seeing any leaks. Best feeling ever 😁

[@icekrusty]

The new camera lens you are using is noticeably better!! Much better when watching your channel on a 55" tv.

A tip for getting heavy package out of the car, open them in the car and get the pieces in one by one, that's how i deal with package like that 🙂

Lovin' the content Sarah! Digging your work ethic and dedication to the ongoing builds. From one vet' to another I salute ya💪 Worked as an aviation mechanic while I served

Hydraulic presses are a GODSEND. Keep up the wrenching. I think I'm going to have my daughter watch your channel

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

That looks soooooo satisfying pushing out the old bushings on your new squisher. 👍👍👍👍

The sound effects are particularly entertaining in this episode. Top notch creative Sarah. 💪

i'm really glad you're doing the bushings before anything else. You gotta be able to control that beast!

[@cominforyourpotato]

I like the format you went to in this video. A day in the life. I don't watch to just learn how to install a water pump on a.... fill in the blank. This was entertaining and instructive. May be an easier option for you as well. You can always do a compilation video if you want to show a specific process. Like a how to. I think it would be less frustrating for you as well. I'm a subscriber for about a year or so. You are definitely entertaining and know your way around car mechanically. i watch (and I think most people watch) for the person that is YOU. I'm into 60's & 70's cars and trucks. Still love your stuff. Keep it up! I'm cheering for you're success! Thank you for all the content.

[@rudycorraudio9089]

7:52 Awesome skin art matching nicely with the cacti,..Very artistic of you Sarah.

[@MindDezign]

The "EDIT" ....smooothah! Great edit. I like this New Sarah additude balancing shop life and Sarah Life. It puts the fun back into ,the car projects. Believe me most of us " car Peeps" are not "TRUST FUND " car builders...we all are planning scheming and waiting to buy parts we want. Good video, you had a lot more enthusiasm and energy, from your new approach to garage life, it shows. We have all been there ( garage project burnout ) or some, still getting there.

[@donteifke7636]

Sarah, get yourself a couple of furniture dollies for moving large heavy items around. They store out of the way. (Mine fit under my tool cabinet) Also, anti fatigue mats are great in the back of the vehicle when hauling things like 20 ton presses etc. They protect the vehicle and they work great when sliding something out. Another thing I use is a regular two wheeled dolly. The ability to even nudge very heavy items or move them and save your back is well worth it. You're amazingly strong. Very impressed.

[@johnulrich5572]

You make the best project cars videos on youtube. They are fun, informative and with great production values. I'm into Audi TTs and I watched another channel where a guy bought a TT at auction. It was terrible. His garage is a mess, he yammers about other than car stuff and he doesn't have proper tools. I love the organization of your shop and your attention to detail. I've learned a lot about the MK1 TT but I watch all your videos because I learn something from all of them. Keep up the good work and your channel will grow. Best of luck.

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Gump morning breath! Love your use of language! Some very alluring shots of you removing Mr Dos’ front suspension. You’re a strong woman, physically and in character. Beautiful and funny too. I’m hooked

[@davidwisner3292]

You Sarah-n-Lil Sarah made me go out 3 weeks ago and buy a 2015 Ford Focus ST. It only has 39,500 miles on it, so I love it. I also love watching you.

[@jonthecomposer]

Love the metal tune you added. Every car video needs some metal playing in it. \m/\m/

[@zackw4941]

I used Koni Yellows with Ground Control coilovers for several years in my Miata. At that time, I was one of the fastest guys at my local autocross venue. They rode well and lasted a long time, as well as offering high performance.

[@douglasmurry8107]

There are not many women that do what you do. You are proof that you are a rare kind of woman. You bring a smile to my face when I see you working on these cars. Keep up the good work. Good vibes from the universe. 😊

[@schmeat2717]

Your descriptions of things are hilarious love you so much

[@shaneblacklord3313]

So happy that you are back to working on Mr Dose again. Less than 5 minutes to take apart is fantastic. By all means, get coilovers and go with wider tires!

[@radman006]

So exciting seeing you get excited about a press!

[@ram_1776]

Awesome add to your shop! Will make your repairs safer and easy.

[@s.gossett5966]

If you don't want to unpack the entire box, consider getting one of those moving dollies that Harbor Freight sells. They make shuffling heavy stuff around a lot easier. I've also used them to move around motors and transmissions too.

[@87Supra4runner]

Your content is great Sarah and you're editing skills are spot on. Gump wins the cold start i think, keep up the great work

[@12B4Christ]

Sarah - Said it before and here it is again: Check out the coilover brand "Silver's". THEY MAKE THEIR OWN AND make coilovers for other KNOWN brands. They are no joke (I have a set for a Miata NC). They are much less than 2 grand (closer to $1000-1500) ANNNNND if you need custom coilovers, they do custom orders in addition to a variety of spring rates. Check Silver's out on Coiloverdepot dot com. Give them a call if you think you need customs for the MR2. Especially give them a call since you are a wildly popular DIY Woman!!! WHO KNOWS what they may do for you! You may say "never heard of them" (therefore they can't be any good). That would be your loss...just check them out. Disclaimer: No, I have no association with them other than researching (exhaustive) good quality at an affordable price on a car not worthy of silly expensive stuff that doesn't provide a measurable benefit for the road. Good luck in your research...

Giving Da bird...thatz how i feel with most of my projects...U crack me up LOL!! Keep at it honey, ur one of kind!!

I enjoy your take on things. A press called a squisher. I admit I had to watch the press pull you across the screen a couple extra times and chuckle @15:42.

You should look into a ballpoint removal tool. It's basically an over sized c- clamp works great for bushings , u- joints as well as ball joints

Awesome video! Always fun watching car stuff, wow Mr. Dos is clean and Mr. Gump cold start sounds so good

[@danielcgomez]

Sarah, if you can move around the Lower Control Arm Ball Joint that easily with your hand, then it's got some wear. It would be better to replace it at this time as you are working in the area and have it on the bench. So happy for youthat you finally got a Press! It was life changing for me when I got mine. All the best!

[@ddnmd]

Hey Sarah, I have the same press. I actually put castors at each corner so when I need it I can roll it where ever I need it then push it back in the corner.

[@russelwinikerei2469]

Nice CSA approved steel toed UGG boots! Its very safe!And about the 14inch wheels I totally understand the pain as I own a car with 14s and I have no other choice but to stick with it.

[@AlicesWondereland]

Good job on getting the squishier out!

[@cjtr83]

I run Koni Yellows in the rebuildable struts, I use Tein springs which are firm but i promise you the Koni shocks are absolutely incredible. Granted, Not to everyone's taste but i don't need to maintain them or p1ss about with ride height and the handling is exceptional. I run 215 & 245's and i don't feel I've ever needed wider up front. Just feels right 😎 👍🏻 Love you videos and your standard of work. I'd love you own Mr Dos.

[@kmorton54]

That was a very satisfying video to watch. Excellent idea on color coordination of the tools by type

[@travisshipley7854]

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great video, Sarah. It's really great that you got a press. You'll find many uses for it, as you work through your project cars. Makes so many jobs a lot easier. It's beginning to look like you're going to be known for your penguins; just like Faye Hadley is known for her silky chickens. It's a very endearing quality to care about animals, so keep it up. Love your channel. BTW...I vote for the Subaru startup. Love the Subaru exhaust note, especially with a custom exhaust.

[@motorheadcg]

I was so happy to see no leaks under Mr. Dos. Also, congratulations on your brand new squisher :-)

[@stevenmankowski3846]

If your tracking the car, my experience with the Koni yellow w/lowering springs on my R56 mini on track is they have a weird bounce feel, I ran them one season and replaced with BC coil overs. Much happier plus I could dial in the balance better. Keep up the great work. Hope that helps

[@eric4052]

Sara you mentioned you were thinking about Koni shocks. Ground control makes sleeves to make coilovers. I ran that combo about 10yrs ago, but the hight adjustability and stiffness worked well on my civic.

[@jamiestillplayswithcars]

Get you some swivel casters to put under your squisher. You can find them about two aisles over from where you found that press.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Pausing at 1:36,... yup, that's screwed,.. and as someone who did rubber-to-poly on a classic ( '66 Valiant in RHD),... you will be amazed at the difference it makes, no so much in ride, but in accuracy of control inputs, and being able to maintain control at the limits compared to Stock. After watching - you will find loads of uses for the press,.. tip, go looking in car recyclers for transmission components of the same diameter as the bushes, they make great blanks to press in or out bushes.

[@JonBlanton]

Awww snap, you got the press! Good stuff 👍

[@stacydornan9765]

Keep on rock in Sara,can't believe no one helps you out.Wish I lived near you girl,I would give you help any time.With love from Canada girl

Thanks for making my day brighter Sarah! You do great at these videos. Keep up the good work.

I have the same press. A good tip is to put caster wheels on it so you can roll it around as you need to!

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome 👍🏾 I got to get me a press for what I need but later will get my tools first before doing a complete car , even though I'm fixing some now lol they are now bringing back some 14 inch tyres 🤙 but 17 are the way to go 😀

You gotta do what really is going to make you happy. If you really want the coil overs, get them. If you don’t get them you might regret it. Always remember do what you want if it’s financially feasible (pay cash).

[@Panteraguy2007]

The Tyre size on the car is perfect any wider tyres might effect handling.i run 225/45/17 on my Celica gt4 and it's fine

Nice Ugg boots! Megan Racing coilovers are cheap and good and have rubber mounts. 18x7 and 18x8 with coilovers are easy.

[@waydewynn4191]

I bought one of those presses after a little while the ram started leaking around the seal of the jacking mechanism so I took the jack back and they gave me another one and after a little while it did the same thing so i took it back and upgraded to the air operated jack and it has worked flawlessly ever since. so if that happens to you pay the difference for the air Ram. I went to Tucson yesterday but I didn't see forrester gump anywhere.

I root for you on every video now! I like the RC-F too but couldn’t afford it so I got an Avalon touring instead. Comfortable with a hint of power.

[@JJKHaywood]

Oh good deal, That Press is going to serve well for what you do on these cars. A bushing driver set with an air hammer drive adapter is good to have around too. Especially with Leaf spring hanger bushings and pins. Cheers

[@crikycrocky]

Love the MR2. Loving your content, creativity and humour. I wonder if you approached coil over manufacturers directly they would give you some product to review and or long term test? You probably have enough of a subscriber base to get them interested I would guess and you are a pretty unique car channel. Best wishes from UK.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

I need a press like that. Another awesome video.

[@chrstphrr]

Nice 20T squisher, Sarah. I bought one used many years ago to do suspension bushings on my mk4 VW. You'll find them a godsend if you have to work on any of your Tater Tot bushings. Or likely the next project car that comes down the line in the future!

I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm glad you're doing things a little bit more light-heartedly, not sure if that's the right word. It is strange but just about everything you do I watch.

I love your flipping off and cursing that bushing. You took it way better than I would’ve. If it were me, it would’ve been hurled into the street. No dry shampoo?

[@KnauerJonathan]

I've read Konis are a good option for MR2s. They're fairly soft, and don't exacerbate oversteer issues...
