You are a wiring GODDESS. Please do not down grade yourself!!! Most of us could not and would not even think of doing what you just did. I know I would have F. it up at the first 2 wires. I bow down to the GODDESS. Love your work! Please keep it coming!

Mr. Dos is one of the cleanest MR2’s. It’s all in the details. My OCD approves!

[@nbrowser]

Sarah, it's been an incredibly long road to get Mr.Dos to this point, girl be friggin PROUD of what you've accomplished this far! A standalone ECU management system you...yes YOU installed and now that little car is running fine! All I can say is congrats and let's hope it gets even better.

[@gerardos.464]

Hi Sarah! I followed and watched most of your videos on Mr. Dos and truly enjoyed the full series. By watching this last test drive / street tune, I felt something was missing. At the end you tell us "the street tune is complete, the car runs good". However, we were never able to watch your happy face when you are test driving cars and when you "give it the beans". A final test drive, acceleration, braking, handling test for us to witness would have been great. I just can't help but feel as if someone turned off the TV while watching the final scene of a movie, and then standed up in front of me and narrated to me the ending. Hope you could make a full review and test drive of Mr. Dos "as is" at this moment. Really enjoy your content, your channel and your personality.

[@SarahnTuned]

Without a proper dyno tune, and the blend table for flex fuel its not done. So I really don't know what the car will be like and that's sad. Unfortunately I have no one out here that can tune it, so the car just sits.

[@Bender24k]

Eh, we still would hire you at Wiring Specialties. If this KZbin thingy doesn't work out give us a call LOL. Love the MR2 Project!

Rule of thumb, MON figure is 10 points lower than the RON figure for a fuel. So rule of thumb US 91 PON is 96 RON. But it is a rule of thumb! So could be a bigger or smaller difference depending on the specific fuel. And thank you for highlighting the fuel octane figures.

I'm a light gear head and love your projects and humor. Your sticktoativeness is next level!! I lightly understand what you have done to get this thing running and I'm impressed! The only tuning when I got my 2nd car was just replacing points , cap ,wires and plugs and set timing and had to guess on fuel. I love how the tune can be done remotely real time. I like your channel! Thanks!!

You went through a lot getting everything in the ECU, and getting the wiring corrected. System knowledge from the tuner, wow. So grateful for super Charlie.

[@markhutchinson3367]

Great to see the progress! One note which I may have mentioned when you installed your engine bay dual electric fans: the rotation of the fans is that right now it's sucking outside air into your engine bay. This is not too efficient as it is actually trapping the hot air from staying inside your engine bay. If you get fans that actually extract and pull hot air from your engine bay, I believe you will see a difference with the heat soak as the hot air will be able to be escape from your hot engine bay. Think of it as an oven door. If you are trying to push in hot ambient air, it has nowhere to go in there and mixes with the already hot engine bay air.

[@trevor5929]

[@mkjeld76]

Sara awesome job getting the tune complete and that looks awesome ❤️

[@giraffengaraget4725]

You can lock the ignition timing (a special feature in most ECUs) to zero degrees. Then you start the car and check with a timing light so you are on or near TDC, then you can adjust the offset. BTW usually you can hook the timing light on the low voltage wires to the COP, not how its supposed to work but it does...
