You have to be one of the hardest working UA-camrs. Don't know where you get all the energy to do the work and the creativity to put together such high quality videos. Of course, I'm 77 yrs old so get tired just watching you. Love your channel!
Sarah, I lived in Tucson for 27 years and moved away in December of '99. I still have friends there that I miss and watching your videos when you drive around the area brings back such memories. Well, thanks in part to you, my wife and I are driving to Tucson for a week's stay and we are really excited about it. I can't wait to hit Lucky Wishbone and Luke's Chicago Style again!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!
It is nice that you clean and paint things while working on them. I admire that. Your way of redoing a car is admirable, even with a flip vehicle. It shows pride and honesty. That is a quality that is hard to find in people now days. A lot of people do the bare minimum and call it good.
just started going through your vids. i've really enjoyed how palatable you make whatever you're reviewing/working on. you take a lot of time explaining what you're doing and i dont feel like you skip any steps for the sake of video time. killer content, keep it up :D
I really enjoyed this video. You didn't make any huge progress on the car, probably spent way more time cleaning your garage that lasted 5 seconds for us than with the mr2, but it was fun. You seemed to be in a good mood the whole time. Getting some work done and chatting with us while you did, I like this a lot more than you getting beat up and stressed out while trying to make huge progress in a couple days for the 15 minutes we see.
Oh Hell Yea!! 20 studs........Yup, she said that.........WOW! Yessa, she said THAT too........man there's something about the word stud....... Keep up the great work Sarah, the stud handling is just fine!
I absolutely LOVE how u do what u do. Cleaning the garage was awesome. Glad to see snippets of that. It's such a pleasure watching your vids. It don't matter what u doin, u make it entertaining..... U gotz skillz Gurl.
For the 17x8 you can put 245/35/17 tyre and for the rear the 17x9, you can install 265/35/17 . These tyre dimension will get you the flush look that you want and you won't loose the index coefficient for the gearing.
@@dr_rrichterr No need for the speedometer to be calibrated. The specific profiles have less than 1% diameter difference (about -0.4%) and in any case all speedometers "cheat" by usually showing you slightly more speed than your actual one (easily confirmed with a GPS) . if anything with the above recommended setup for the MR2, you'll correct slightly the accuracy of the speedo. For more details you go in a tire size calculator page like this one : www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator and see all possible combinations. For safety reasons, you must not go over 3% difference. Hope I helped...
Floor cleaned up pretty nice, huge benefit of being sealed. So glad you're finishing the TT, I know there were a ton of plans along the way, but the before vs now with all the work and upgrades you've already done is a huge improvement, just a little more work til it's mechanically sound.
Very good work cleaning the rotor, look almost like new, and you know that those small things are valuable, you always take care of the small details, good thing.
Still glad you decided to keep the mr2. I had a first gen super charged and a twin to MR dos non turbo. I regret getting rid of either. Keep it,enjoy it. They are only going up in value.
Another tool that can be used to pull studs through the hub using a single nut is a pass-through socket/ratchet set. It's main purpose is to remove and replace front and rear struts. The socket fits over any length stud and allows the use of a hex key to keep the strut from turning as the nut is tightened on the top of the strut while using the ratchet.
Hehe nice work in deed that is a paycheck bonus right there for sarah to cash in cause yes sarah could use some glam up money😂😂. Spending so much on cars don’t help personal matters
Well, "you can slip the new stud in through the back of it. Because when you you try it up there, you wouldn't exactly have clearance to get the stud in there" ... That's what she said. @07:00 That counts for something...
Good Testing method - so far! One more tip.... as we know how particular you are. When you get the wheels and spec's / offsets etc. you want (if they are new) , do not have them mounted with new tires yet..... cover the backs of the wheel hub with tape and tape up the wheel studs also , then test fit them to the car. That way if they are not as you envisioned, you can exchange them for a different spec. Just don't have them fitted with new tires until you are certain of the look you want. There are also temples you can use for calculating offsets , but......
I didnt mind the little fidly bits of the TT build and the really fine detail. Your videos are always exciting but looking forward to your next project cause I love the way you attack things and the effort you go to. Also its great watching you get so excited over the big stuff as well. More excited than you can get over new spark plugs anyway. 1 Spark plug ah ah ah 2 spark plugs ah ah ah.
Great video, both for the garage clean, and wheel fitment! Your garage looked very nice after your reorganization and the wheel replacement was informative and well done! I know I'm one of the "studs" you got off! You're awesome and love your sense of humor, thanks.👍
Enjoy the work you do. This old dog has learned some new tricks! Also, in regards to the TT, I don't think you could just "dump" it in good conscience. The impression I get from you, is that you'd probably "repo" it and do it right anyway, then return it to the new owner. Keep up the good work! Really looking forward to the new rally project!
Actually the "proper" way to install studs is a hydraulic press. Sarah is correct when she said you could damage the stud by pulling through using the impact. I damaged one buy using the 2 nut method and a breaker bar on my daughters Probe.
I totally agree with you that Toyota thinks about mechanics while engineering. I have found the same with Subaru for sure. I think it's a very Japanese engineering ethos. I think "finishing" the TT and moving on is the right move. For the channel and your sanity! Can't wait to see the new wheel setup! :D
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I miss my sw20 so much and regret selling it :( I cared you cleaned your garage. (Take care of your garage, your garage takes care of you
I only caught the end of the live video. I agree with fixing the TT to make it right, then selling it. It's as you correctly said becoming a money pit. Just replacing parts instead of doing upgrades. Looking forward to whatever you get next. Would love to see a WRX or STI.
Coincidence, I just cleaned up my garage yesterday because I took dovery of my new to me Shelby Gt500 2009. Congrats on the chanel, cheers from Montreal.
an old school method for seating wheel lug nut studs is to use the lug nut backwards to resent a flat wrenching surface to the rotor of wheel hub. using a flat washer if they have an uneven surface can be done too. but I am an old geezer what do I know?
I forcefully removed a couple studs from my convertible Celica one time. Really bad idea. I'm lucky to be here ... Anyway, thanks for demo'ing the proper procedure.
Another good one Sarah, you improvise that's great. Can I just say when we complete a task successfully down under we say FIGJAM. You can google what it means.
Awesome clean garage Sarah! Lol I should do the same since spring season is just around the corner and organizing workspace would be a great start for the year.
0:36 Got so sad almost thought the TT is gone, the TT was the main reason I subscribed to your channel. Would be very sad to see it go, but I still enjoy your channel either way
Hehehehe I think I would care enough to watch sarahs content and allow Sarah to have a little fun cause yes the amount of time sarah puts into these cars still makes my mind hurt cause I don’t know how one person can put aside emotions aside just to work on cars for others to see. It’s like blow me down. I can’t do that my head would collapse😂
Nice, I appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail! My roommate gives me a hard time since I clean everything obsessively before I put it back together, regardless of how small or trivial the piece (see: polishing bolts/nuts). Great job, love the channel! By chance are you going to sell the Enkie wheels? I may be interested if so... Haha.
Smart move on the TT, Have just traded the 2007 model in for a newer A4, with none of the warning lights and issues of that model, AUDI make great cars but have their own personality The word black hole comes into cars when you pump so much into a car it never comes back Love the videos please keep them coming Best regards from Downunder Andrew
Good decision on the TT! After you finish fixing all the little gremlins that it has, maybe drive it for a few months before selling it. Have a little fun with it! If you are still looking for suggestions for future project cars, what do you think about a Mitsubishi 3000 GT or a Buick Grand National?

I cant wait to move from the North East coast to the South West! Have an enjoyable and safe trip.
i like that you used longer studs, with wheel spacers. and that is the rite way to put a stud in the hub ive been doing that for 25 years.
Sarah, you are a gem, a true delight ! Sounds like a good plan for the TT.

Long rod hard wood. Safe and sound. This video is art.
You make every mechanic shed a tear when you use chrome sockets on your impact !
Priceless. All it needed was the red tank top from the intro. Sarah, you are a treasure.
A clean garage is healthy for our favorite garage dweller :)
Oh Hell Yea!! 20 studs........Yup, she said that.........WOW! Yessa, she said THAT too........man there's something about the word stud.......
Keep up the great work Sarah, the stud handling is just fine!
I'm glad you're keeping Mr.Dos, he's coming along fine
The garage floor,wheel hubs and yourself are all look in awesome,later Sarah,with love from Canada,you rock girl
This was perfect timing. I need to replace the studs on my FG2 and I was wanting to watch a video on it. Thanks Sarah 👍
Graham Monteith I was shocked how easy they were on the MR2.

Your garage clean-up is inspiring. Now I need to do mine!
Glen Ferguson Motionautotv inspired me to clean up mine, it’s contagious! Haha
And here I thought I saw your next build in the Vid. Modifying the broom to add leather grips and Binford 9000 thruster sweeps.
Do you think she's secretly into Quidditch?!
You keep it fresh by just being you 😁👍
Guaranteed you are getting more than 20 studs off every video. Nice work.
🔥😂🔥
Hilarious! My fiancé teases me just like that!
Hehe nice work in deed that is a paycheck bonus right there for sarah to cash in cause yes sarah could use some glam up money😂😂. Spending so much on cars don’t help personal matters
By hand too. No power assists
Well, "you can slip the new stud in through the back of it. Because when you you try it up there, you wouldn't exactly have clearance to get the stud in there" ...
That's what she said.
@07:00
That counts for something...
Great idea using the broom handle to keep the hub from turning
Lucky studs! 😜 Love your humor and silliness! Great video as always! 😀👍❤️
Everything you do is fresh Sarah!
Thoroughly enjoying all your content Sarah.
Never has 15 mins gone by so quick 👍
Aint that the truth

From 1 T1D to another... you're amazing!
I love your b-roll and your editing . I love your channel
So awesome that you care about wheel offset!
Wow, I'm a raving fan. Glad I found your channel.
its good to know i am not the only one who makes tennis player type grunting noises while working on a car, well done :)
The look on your face after the “stud” comments was priceless ! 😆👍
I watched it more than once lol
40 studs (20 off & 20 on) in 15:39 minutes that's gotta be a some sort of "automotive" record; all on a spotless floor too. Keep up the great vids.
I can't blame you for cleaning the floor as much time as you spend on it. your attention to detail show Mr Dos is looking fantastic.
Sarah, your garage looks so good, that is on my agenda Garage clean can't wait
Excited to see the new build coming soon.
@Sarah, please buy yourself a proper mallet. Claw hammers do not belong around vehicles. :)
Don Olypopper hehehe I see😂😂
Telling sarah this now don’t change the fact it was still there in the video. Hehehehe it was to trigger car folk to keep watching 😂😂
ACTUALLY I USE CLAW HAMMERS to find crabs.. :)
Actually the "proper" way to install studs is a hydraulic press. Sarah is correct when she said you could damage the stud by pulling through using the impact. I damaged one buy using the 2 nut method and a breaker bar on my daughters Probe.
I hope you're building an old school hot rod .

I totally agree with you that Toyota thinks about mechanics while engineering. I have found the same with Subaru for sure. I think it's a very Japanese engineering ethos.

Awesome content, I can’t stop watching. Now I’ve got to clean my garage.😸
Sarah, I think you should look for an old pickup truck (1940s-1960s) for your next build. You could make it a resto-mod any way you want.
Note to self: breakfast cereal hurts when being shot out the nose, laughing @ Sarah 'banging out 20 studs'!
One thing I always do when installing wheel studs is put a small dab of anti seize on the threads the help alleviate some stress
Currently running 3 lugs because 2 broke at once. Very helpful, love the video!
Oooooooooo! New project!😁😁😁 Love the content Ms. Sarah!
Clean garage is always good, feel your pain Chica, great job on Señor Dos. Keep it up

Best Sarah innuendo of all time!!! I am going to attempt to get 20 studs off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sarah try the mk1 mr2 you got to drop the engine & transmission through the bottom to work on the clutch or water pump.
Always enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

Lisle makes a tool for putting those studs in. It's basically just a thrust bearing then you use a regular nut on it.
love innuendo Sarah , nice job as always
Favorite part of the video is the garage cleaning.
Keep the inuendos coming, heh. And nice job on this resto-mod-build. Keep it up.
i use a air chisel with a blunt rounded bit to remove and install wheel studs. zips them out and in in seconds.

Nice go fasters! ( new balance shoes) yes... That's what i noticed in this vid! Lol
wooo hooo I was 1k like !!!!...and that broomstick is a champ..thought is was going to snap!!
Always loved that style MR2 but having watched quite a few of these videos they look like a pain in the butt to work on.
We say "Purr-jo" for Peugeot in the UK :)
Poo Joe sounds a bit shit.
Well, you do. I don't, because I think it's entirely wrong.
I'd say youd never have a problem banging out studs Sarah 😏 specially with them guns popping out and blowing your sleeves off like they are 💪💪

Jonathan Kent I might put it in storage now actually.
Love your videos, keep up the great work.
I owned 2 Peugeot's,.... and Citroën is basically the same platform and engines.
It really comes down to taste between the two brands.
And preferences of course btw.
