🏎️In 2004 the USCC observed a nearly identical brake setup on an SW20 MR2 with a 60-0 stopping distance of 99.23 feet! This obviously was on tires of the available technology of that era too. The late revision MR2 Turbo braking system is extremely impressive when paired with upgraded pads, lines, and tires alone given its weight just under 2800lbs.

Legit you holding up the caliper and announcing it took six hours is why I love your channel. It is what makes your channel so absolutely relatable.😊
I can relate.. Spent 6 hours Sunday dismantling and cleaning a 1976 Datsun 260Z instrument cluster.. Now everything works including the clock..
@@1968CudaGuyresult👏👏👏
Sarah continues to find combinations of words not previously encountered as a group in the English language: "There's a crow playing soccer on the roof with an acorn right now." Right up there with "That's the banjo player's Porsche."
Nooo 😭 I actually saw it outside. It’s a huge crow and he is super weird. I seriously think it was playing up there.
@@SarahnTuned SMILE
@@SarahnTuned Of course it was. Crows used to play rugby, but then they heard about brain injuries and switched codes.
Actually I've seen crows playing with similar objects - they're very clever
I love your dedication to sticking with period correct manufacturer parts.
That spider is from Japan, and will be 4 stories tall soon, and rampaging across Arizona.
I waste entirely too much time on YT, and you are the one I look forward to the most. Keep up the great work!
Whenever I sit down to YT it, I always start with the latest Sarah video, even if I've seen it twice before.
Thank you for the comparison of the '90s Japanese car to old school American iron. I'm one of the people you aimed it at, I understood that the parts you were using are special, but now I understand a little better. 🙂
I love that you show use of the service manual for the car. So many "car youtubers" don't even use torque wrenches, much less look up how an operation is properly performed. You're the best.
In their defense, most car UA-camrs are not actually mechanics. If I do something improper I have no excuse because I went to school for aerospace maintenance and did it for over a decade as a career.
@@SarahnTuned Fair enough! I still stand by my contention you're the best, though.
Stumbled across your channel last week and I am dumbfounded. Your attention to detail, your persistence and absolute brilliance in creating videos is amazing. Never seen anything like you. Funny, smart, you are incredible. I wish you continued success as I rummage through your catalog of interesting vehicles, great insight and great shows. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
I think you have single handedly depleted the worlds stock of genuine NOS JDM parts
YES another Mr. Dos episode! I've loved this car right from the beginning! The work you have done on him is Amazing Sarah!
Always great to see another JDM upgrade to Mr. Dos. Perhaps once you get the tune, you could produce a new car review video. Loved your “commercial” for the t-shirt! 🤣 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Or even a trip video. Take a day drive, use a couple cameras, later edit out any vocals you want / need to.
The "Tit cover" joke was :chef_kiss:
Yup. Best T-shirt promo ever!
Much better than beer gut cover.
@@nobuddy4611 Tits over beer guts, every time.
Creating a template for all future merch plugs...
Got any shirts to cover chest hair?!
Great compromise on the caliper paint. Looks great!
Your attention to detail (cleaning the inside of things that will not be seen after assembly), your dedication to authenticity, your knowledge and resourcefulness, your jokes, as well as many more things than I can list, make your content so enjoyable.
But everyone needs/deserves those step-back-and-let-it-go breaks from time to time, including you. I can wait a couple extra days before the next video, and I would really like to see you take a break, no videoing, no editing, no sourcing/cleaning/installing parts, just Sarah time. You deserve it.
Thanks for reminding us that you choose the parts. It's easy to forget that many big automotive youtubers do not - they use what they are sponsored to use. So as consumer advice goes it's great to know what someone like you actually wants to use.
Always a big smile on my face when I see a new Sarah video announcement!
I agree with others, you announcing how long it takes to do certain things that others would make seem took minutes is refreshing. For those of us who've worked on cars, things always seem to take longer than expected.
I wish I had found this channel sooner. All the technical info peppered throughout the vids are exactly the type of things i obsess over. 🤙
For someone who works 10 hours a day, you get an awful lot accomplished!
I LOVE YOU!😘
I just finnished repairing my rear calipers on my -86 MR2, and i think your 6 hours repair time is spot on…. 😂
Hey Sarah, that’s awesome You were able to get those brake parts and great job with the voiceover. Mr. Dos keeps getting better and better.🐧🐧🐧👍
I love that you spared and released the little spooder.
Worked on war planes for a living, escorts desperate spider outside and releases it.
If any of you had any questions about true womanhood....
Anyone who questions your dedication is severely lacking. Your attention to detail is the stuff of legend Sarah. No slack or slacker, never will and can’t be. Hardcore, full bore and no regrets! Yeah buddy! Go Sarah! Press on! Love seeing Mr Dos getting some love! I remember the garage days.👍🏻💖
Absolute work of art, those rotors.
Your attention to detail on this OEM+ restomod MR2 build down to color matching small parts with the seat cloth is what I love so much about your content. We have similar tastes in color pallets. I’m currently saving up for a set of “blue gunmetal” (like Pokey’s) or bronze wheels for my 2021 F-150 in Lead Foot Gray. Much love from Texas!
I was just searching for the correct tires for my 90 Celica GT-S. (Yikes! )Your parts searching powers are Jedi level!!
Sarah
As a 66yo petrol head, and long time biker, i found that to clean all the old crud and muck from my m/c engine etc, i would spray it with engine oil and let it sit at least overnight
The oil soaks into all the baked on stuff and softens it
You then spray it down with your degreaser, let it follow the oil into the crud stuff for a few hours
Then wash off
It really helps to clean really deep seated crud.....
Maybe it wont work with all these fancy new cleaners but i found it helpful
Especially on the motorcycles and Italian aluminium motors .......
Engine oil on brake seals is a bad idea. The oil usually swells the seals, causing them to quit sealing.
@AKcess_Dnied agreed if you doing calipers. But if you rebuilding them it really doesnt matter.
Will work on the gearbox, diff, engine etc
I have been watching your channel for at least 6 yrs and MR 2 is still living, this is a long term relationship
To the esoteric and often de-tuned passionate ramblings of a Sarah who locks herself in a garage with her cars everyday for our viewing pleasure and amusement. Thank you🙂
I played bass for Fallout Remover on the ‘99 “End of the World…Again” tour.
Finger Sander was our breakout hit.
From somebody who loves cars and motorcycles, but who's mechanically inept, I'm in awe watching this masterpiece!
Sarah your humor is the best!
Gall, I appreciate your honesty.... it's never a quick job, here in the UK we have to deal with rust a lot, so a basic brakes sercive to be done properly without throwing new parts at it can often take a couple of days if all goes well. power to you.
so nice to see someone actual save the spider so many others would have killed without thinking twice
I'm in awe of your talent and work ethic!
While I was in the U.K. stationed at RAF Mildenhal I can across an MR2 with a Camry V6 swap....This is kind of my dream car now!
Love the fish-net wardrobe. Keep them up!
I had one of these . Still don't regret selling it . Nonstop issues . The last straw was the turbo would spool but the car got no power from it and the oil light would start flickering like crazy .
This and all of this channel is winnage. I did a 22V conversion (big pot single, 258mm) for AE112. Night and Day difference to the original small 22VB (238mm), with braided lines. Once not on a track don't need a BBK. and the Project Mu are hard to get now
The cuts and edits in this video are absolutely top tier and why I love your channel. The effort is 100% appreciated as much as the soundtrack.
I love the factory bigger brakes setup and the old school jdm goodies. Nice job on the video too. Your graphics and editing are amazing. Thanks!
8:13 OMG. I had a set of Cragar wheels put on my 1975 Comet GT. It was my first car. I saved-up enough money from hours of flipping burgers at McDonald's to buy them. And then I made some other modifications on it. I'm getting a little emotional just thinking about it. It was the only I ever loved. I guess I'm autosexual. 😁🚗
Creative wrting prompt: Some japanese spider wandering around Arizona like wtf happened but none of the local spiders speak Japanese.
another professional job, i remember when those came out & i really liked them, you don't see a whole lot of them anymore.
I'm again watching car related stuff on the internet! I just LOVE the work you & my other favorite car restorer M539 Restorations! You both put so much into getting parts cleaned and replaced, so the car looks better than brand new. Also really impressed with those two pot rotors, they look awesome!!
I love that you compelled us to watch 30 seconds-or-so of the video on and old Panasonic TV, just because. Interesting video, brw, as usual.
I did something similar wirh my Jeep Cherokee XJ. They only came with rear drum brakes. BUT, the Liberty was sold outside of US as Cherokee- has same 8.25 axle and has rear disc brakes option. Drop in fit , with exception of using grand Cherokee brake hoses. I can’t begin to describe how much more stop power they add. And then I upgraded my single diaphragm brake booster to double diaphragm from 95-96 model- again drop in fit.
Well done and fantastic scores for the MR2 brakes. Look forward to seeing the MC and Brake booster upgrades and demo.
You can still get them in various conditions in NZ but the prices are going up, also the MRS is still readily available. Ship one over :)
I bet you could support your channel by selling rides in the MR2 when its done. That car is very cool.
Kinda defeats the point of building them to begin with, I may as well film videos of lighting money on fire instead.
@@SarahnTuned I think you underestimate the value of what a ride would bring
Nice to see Señor Dos back on the channel. Cool project.
Brakes come up killer ... hard work pays of again 👌👌👌
The second gen MR2 is really a timeless classic. Sarah’s is special because of Sarah and the craziness that went into every detail. This content is sooo appreciated!!!
Really awesome result on MR dos. The brakes look amazing and 100% get why you did it. It's the details that make or brake (no pun intended) the end result. End result on this car is chef's kiss.
Some of your stream of consciousness narrative is priceless.... maybe all of it. Especially the double entendres... I enjoy listening to you solving problems, it's almost a form of ASMR. (ASMR is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. ASMR is a subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.)
Completely agree with your point regarding brakes.
I love those cars. Can’t find one that isn’t total trash. Very nice work. If you don’t keep it, I hope you get a lot of $$$$ for it
afaik the red goo is the assemblypaste for the squarerings and the piston into the caliper. For all other gaskets and pins you can use regular grease.
Can't wait for the braking test. Those are fire!
I keep saying it, YOU ARE THE BEST ! Love and appreciate your video's from Cowansville, Québec, Canada.
From Canada here. The time you spend inside, working on cars, explains how pale you are despite living in Arizona. You'd fit right in up here 😁.
Great work. You are an inspiration to shade tree mechanics everywhere!
Nice to see Mr DOS getting some love. And nice to see a respectful OEM+ restoration.
Sorry , your hard work and attention to detail is why we love your channel. Wouldn’t mind another camping video or trip to the salvage yard.
I keep getting awed by how you keep to a theme for each project. Always on point.
Great to see Mr. Dos lives
How does it feel to have somebody watch every single day of your life? 🤔
Another excellent video 😁
Plastic media blasting is a less harsh alternative to sand. It should work in any blast cabinet- just be sure to get all the sand out first
A Mr. 2 with no rust! The parts wouldn't be the worst problem normally.
YAY! A Mr.Dos video! Cant wait to see him tuned and taken out for a RIP!! Great video per your usual!
Love your dedication to factory OEM and NOS parts!
Ha love your period correct pink mesh shirt!
Seriously, when I open my UA-cam App and see that you have posted a new video, makes my day complete... Great work, and loving your attention to detail... Thanks Sarah
If I saw you apply copper anti-sieze on the contact points of the brake pads, then BEWARE: copper and nickel anti-sieze is mostly lithium grease. Lithium grease will dry out, in two years or less, and will provide no lubrication when it does. 3M makes a high temp (600 def F) vacuum grease that comes in a squeeze tube. Fantastic stuff for brakes and A/C
Thank you for giving Mister Dos some love. Those upgrades are fire, absolute fire.
Thanks!
You are a very kind person, the way you dealt with Mr Spider!
I click 'like' for those white wheels alone. 🔥
Yet another fantastic upgrade
This is my favorite car of all time.
Great job finding and upgrading your brakes. Factory parts generally work better. I just upgraded the brakes on my 4Runner. Better pads, calipers and drilled/slotted rotors. Yep they are powder coated red...everyone knows red accented parts work better than plain ones...😆
You are definitely entertaining. Don’t change anything if you say something that no one’s listening to just know that I am I love your Corky dry humor and your easy on the eyes. That’s a deadly combination
these days.fair play to ya lassy !!!! 🍀🤘🏻🍀😂
You are amazing, never change.
Love that you used White Wheels instead of the usual black junk. Sets car off nicely. A new game to bet on ( Crows & Soccer). Sand blast calipers. I do. Hope that your wheels clear those big brakes. (Majic Ball Cream) Oh the possibilities! Another great how to video. Sarah, I would trust to go anywhere in one of your builds.
Hey! ALWAYS great to see your projects & YOU, of course! Just the greatest 🙂♥️
And the saga with MR2 continues......
Best video yet. Pretty new to the channel but laughed out loud with the t shirt commentary. 😂😂😂
OMG Sarah Saving that spider! Your stock just jumped 100000+% Also MR2 Spyder....
I like that you're not making Mr Dos into a massive horsepower beast. just better :)
Brakes look amazing. Great job
The rotors, calipers, pads, and wheels look amazing! Absolute 🔥
until now, I didn't realize they were THAT big!!!!
Nice to see the MR2 again. Even better were the improvements you made on the brakes.
when we autocross ,we use different brake pad combo's to add brake bias to a car.....maybe thats why you have EBC rears and stock fronts
Ah, a cheap brake bias controller!
I second the "i'd watch you narate paint drying!" of several weeks ago. You are so refreshing to listen to.
One: I've sand blasted almost every caliper I've ever done with brakes. No issues if you're not dumb. Toyota Calipers included.
Two: don't use anti-seize for brake lube. For pad to caliper contacts, and caliper to clip contact, use something like EZ-slide. Doesn't dry out as fast as antisieze compound.
Three: it's Project Mu (MOOOOO) not Mew. It ain't a kitty.
Four: clean your hub surfaces with a roloc disc and a file, to make sure they are flat flat, runout causes pulsation.
Sarah... This is interesting. Mush different editing style today and it worked. NIce Job. !
Love the colour coordination, Sarah. Mr. Dos is one special car.
The first video of yours that I watched was you fitting the yellow Bilsteins to Mr Dos. The retro upgrade brakes are spot on, wouldn’t expect anything less
These vehicles of yours are so fortunate - luxurious spa treatments everyday for cars/vehicles
That Kirby was cute with your wording you did in the word bubble.
Excellent decisions to go with genuine parts👏👏👏👏. More mechanics need to listen 👍😀.... Fantastic upgrades to the stopping equipment 🫂💕🎉
MR2 is back!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
