Toyota OVER Engineered This.. // '91 MR2 Turbo

[@bridgecross]

You underestimate how much we would enjoy watching you have *fun* in these cars. After 20 videos building a car, you could give us 1 of a trip somewhere.

[@KaptainKrash]

I just want to see Mr Dose blitz up some canyons :)

[@DG69GOD]

TRUE THAT, BROTHER!!

[@cmdux]

Better yet, take us all for a road trip!

[@coratoraYT]

Agree 100%

[@bambusizdrowie3979]

true :)

[@douglasboyle6544]

We care about your life... Especially your sanity! Please take care of yourself 💜

[@timonsolus]

Yes! Sarah needs to devote more of her time to having fun. Fun is essential for a healthy and happy life. All work and no play makes for a sad life.

[@mrwest5552]

@douglasboyle6544 - agreed - please take care of yourself, the same words from Young Charlie, and here eat this food.

[@Nico_lente]

Yes exactly! I support this comment

[@TarmenAmzarian]

Absolutely yes, please do a string alignment video! That would be so cool!

[@Cassinspace]

I've always wanted to learn this but never had a reason to do it meself

[@michaelchristenson9511]

Yes, I have done these in the past, but I'm sure that you will provide some great tips. As many of us are constantly messing with our car's suspension and steering, it's impossible (and expensive) to take it to an alignment shop after every repair.

[@fredericdeblois]

Your attention to detail and desire for perfection are impressive. At this level I think it's unique on this planet and that alone makes you a very important and precious person, far more so than any car.. It's interesting to see how an old-fashioned rope alignment works.

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

Oh wow! You're talking about me! I'm a person out in the world looking at internet videos about cars! How relatable!

[@mrh3085]

….and I love scratch & sniff soup menus too! 😅

[@walkerhawes2200]

I’m not alone anymore! Hello brothers and sisters!

[@masterofcents.8175]

As often as you drive the MR2 Sarah you should definitely give it a alignment with the string theory……😂😂😂 ❤

[@justchillinout2002]

What about doing the string methodology and then take it to a shop with an alignment rack to see the difference. THEN take it on a road trip with a purpose, like going to be a spectator at Pikes Peak or the Baja 1000 or a MR2 car meet?

[@Gene1969]

Yes! String theory it!

[@LanguidFuzzBeast]

Yes some super string theory for sure. 88 mph??? you haven't seen nuthin yet.. Bring on the DOS!

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

Seriously one of the best channels on KZbin. Thank you Sarah for all that you do and sharing it with the world. You are awesome.

[@802Garage]

Wow the 91 MR2 fan circuit works exactly the same as the 2013+ BRZ fan circuit. Took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on when I first looked at the wiring diagram. The way I rigged the fans on the BRZ was to connect one wire to both of the necessary relays so whenever the ECU said fans on both fans would kick on high. Not a perfect solution, but good for temporary at least when rotary need coolness. Similar to what you did really. Them brushless fans are nice!

[@SarahnTuned]

Yeah, I actually might make a more permanent jumper and keep it as is if this works well.

[@Milkmans_Son]

Are the esc's built into the motors?

[@George-rk7ts]

Awesome work, Sarah. The quality of your videos is matched by the quality of your work in the videos. You are a cool.person. Take care of yourself. Stay Sarah.

[@johncolligan5128]

It takes a real dedication and love of JDM to keep going, we love you and your channel , but please make sure little time for yourself, we will always tune in.

Jeez Louise, I clicked off whistling diesel destroy a Mustang . My anxiety level was high and immediately clicked on your video. I'm stable again.

Actually yes

[@michaeldmckenzie]

First! Good work as always, Sarah. The truth is out there! We care, Sarah. Please don’t burn yourself out.

[@marcusalexander5251]

Yes to string alignment!

[@limericklad2000]

We'd definitely like to see vlogs from road trips in the cool cars you build.

[@ybuszone]

Sarah I appreciate you think I'm smart enough to understand what wiring issue you were having and I also appreciate there are way smarter people watching that know what you were talking about.

[@e-handle9634]

Sooo Nice you were able to source this Locally 💃 Señor Dos Más ❗🕺

[@mtacoustic1]

Your editing is getting better and better! Brushless motors are way different animals from traditional DC motors. They are actually AC motors, with the AC supplied by a dedicated controller. Most model airplanes are now equipped with brushless motors, & provide a huge leap in performance & efficiency over old DC motors.

[@ErebosGR]

Not just RC planes. Almost all RC cars run brushless for close to a decade now.

[@kaiboshvanhortonsnort359]

DC motors also have a lot of advantages, including speed control with a simple rheostat instead of VFD.

[@3dandyrandy3]

​@ErebosGR also power tools use brushless moters.

[@Lyallthetime]

Always enjoy a bit of Mr Dos. Can't believe it started out as a "flip it quick" project back in the day. It's quite incredible what you've done to it. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy driving it when you've finished everything. I agree with a lot of people, we'd would enjoy watching you enjoy these cars as much as we enjoy seeing you work on them.

[@DuncanBeaird]

That's okay, Sarah, we have 3 project cars in the shop that have been worked on for years, one of them, decades, and have moved maybe 1000 yards total. Projects take time, and while driving them. is cool, you can't work on them when they're going down the road. And yes, string alignment, please!!

[@bobuncle8704]

Like seeing the MR2 getting all buttoned up. 👍👍

[@JeremyKasperson]

The haircut looks great!

[@mrwest5552]

@JeremyKasperson - agreed.

[@seanleenichols]

Hi Sarah, your channel and career path are very inspiring....I truly enjoy your personality and the killer import car content....Ignore the haters...you are Amazing! Thank you- Sean🚗🚙🏎

[@Midcon77]

Sarah - now you must finish these project cars and then spend a month making videos of you cruising down the Strip in Vegas or something, showing them off. That will be fun and very entertaining! We want you to have fun OUTSIDE of work too! LOL

[@tns5044]

The YT algorithm can be brutal, especially if you depend on the income. But if the pressure to keep producing content breaks you down, it's time to take a break from building and just have fun. And from past experience, you just having fun makes for great content too.

[@ercoleabbruzzino2929]

Hi, I own a Toyota Mr2! My little girl has always been pampered and kept in the garage, 0 rust, perfect interior and super bodywork, a real jewel of the age of 30! Congrats on your Toyota! 

[@Onefor2s]

Plus one on the string alignment tutorial

[@cr250rdr]

Whoo boy. You touched on the two things that are the MOST irritating on my 91 MR2 after ATS upgrades - cooling fans always on max when the key is on (and being told it is probably best if I leave it this way) - and boost gauges (dash and aftermarket) do not read correctly. Made my head spin as you were walking thru the cooling circuits, thus shedding some light on why the decision was made by the engine builders to just set the cooling fans to max on when the key is on - no temp circuits or AC indicators in the loop. Max cooling, all the time...and very very noisy.

[@johnkimbrell2378]

Thank you for putting our center caps on now. The wheels look complete. I hope you finish this car.

[@cmdux]

Project cars are never really finished.

[@Primus54]

Ahh… Great to see an old friend in Mr. Dos. As always, when you take a deep dive into the wiring world my brain cannot keep up, yet I’m still entertained. 🤯 Love the green trim on those floating lug nuts… subtle but classy. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@NemuiJin]

Definitely would like to see videos of you taking your cars out and engaging with the car community more. Car shows, track days, visits to unique shops like you did for your bronco wheels.

[@Jorel8989]

Thanks! Love your work!!

[@midwestlee-iw8nl]

Sarah , yes a front end alignment demonstration would be great .

[@Variable-2-actual]

Sarah's front end alignment is pretty nice.

[@controllerpleb6568]

Do a road trip! Go to a state park, do a photo shoot! Shoot a car review of your own cars once they're finished!

[@LearningJeff]

I had voted Quattro. Mr Dos content is satisfying. The car is amazing, and goes back a long way… for those of us supporting you through the years. Love the lug, cap, and color match to the seats, with the brakes. Maybe one day soon you can take us for a road trip review of Dos. ❤

[@haarykarry2474]

I would love to see you do a string alignment. I haven't had to do that since my Subaru kept blowing out tirerods and ball joints. Driving it like a rally car didn't help 😅
