This Was Extremely Nerdy.. // 2UZ V8 1974 Celica

[@thomas5714]

Does anyone else realize how many editing cuts there are; and how each cut is synched logistically to tell a straight line of interconnected stories, while multiple cameras are used, which means the previous three points have separate files that need to be blended? That alone requires 1 single stream of conscience. The fact that another stream of conscience is doing the actual work being demonstrated. I’m f’n blown away. This woman is a polymath.

[@SarahnTuned]

AND this whole time, she was multitasking while dealing with contractors trying to devise a way of building a barn-ominium then coordinating a move of a working garage and video production facility when a satisfactory build couldn't be devised. AND NONE OF THAT WAS DETECTABLE by us viewers in any content produced during months of those distractions. We don't need SOLAR energy, we need SARAH energy.

[@stratfanstl]

The induction box portion of this was fascinating. It's amazing to live in an era where CAD tools plus CNCs and 3D printers and plasma cutters allow indiduals to fabricate custom parts at a quality major mfgrs could only touch if they designed a plant to stamp out millions of them. The same phenomena is true in electronics where design tools combine schematic design, electrical modeling and testing, circuit board layout and export to Gerber files that any factory on the planet accepts to make the circuit board. To know there are creatives like Sarah loose in a world with these capabilities is somehow encouraging.

[@sergiusabo]

Sarah, the issue with the exhaust mounts is not that the rubber is soft or that the silicone is harder. The issue is the bolt hole pattern on the car is the same length as the bolt hole pattern on the exhaust, forming a paralelogram, which makes it very easy to move side to side. You can fix this by increasing the length between the bolts on the car and also making sure the mounts are slightly tensioned, some trial and error might be required:)

[@tns5044]

As a result, longer hangers might be required

[@tommurphy9472]

I came here to say the same thing. Change the parallelogram to a trapezoid by making top mounts wider or bottom mounts wider, whichever is easier and it won't wiggle side to side so much.

[@gearhead762]

Or just use a bandclamp mount

[@hotrodhardin]

I was thinking Use both sets of rubber mounts Just get longer bolts

[@kengoodey]

The quality of this build is truly stunning! Extreme nerdiness AND next-level fabricobblering... in the same video! My 'blown-away by Sarah' meter is permanently redlining. I need a calmative and lots of water, for the thirst.

8:29 - ProTip: When trying to "break" cardboard along a straight line or edge, "score"* the cardboard along the breakline first. * Score: cut only halfway or less through the cardboard. This makes it easier to bend AND depending on the side you use, will give you a bend with almost no loss (put the uncut paper on the inside of the bend).
