🏎️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.
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?!
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 CZcamsrs 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.
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.
YES another Mr. Dos episode! I've loved this car right from the beginning! The work you have done on him is Amazing Sarah!
I think you have single handedly depleted the worlds stock of genuine NOS JDM parts
Great compromise on the caliper paint. Looks great!
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.👍🏻💖
I have been watching your channel for at least 6 yrs and MR 2 is still living, this is a long term relationship
Creative wrting prompt: Some japanese spider wandering around Arizona like wtf happened but none of the local spiders speak Japanese.
Always a big smile on my face when I see a new Sarah video announcement!
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.
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 was just searching for the correct tires for my 90 Celica GT-S. (Yikes! )Your parts searching powers are Jedi level!!
For someone who works 10 hours a day, you get an awful lot accomplished!
I LOVE YOU!😘
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.
I enjoyed Kirby's commentary 😂 That blue/green color goes so well with the red white scheme. It'd be neat to see touches of it hidden around the car like powdercoating the sway bar or the seat brackets to match it.
Absolute work of art, those rotors.
Thanks Sarah, I'll never look at T-shirts the same again 😂 and every time I watch, I learn something new. Thanks for great content!
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. 😁🚗
The "lube" in the Caliper repair kit is red rubber grease, made especially for use with rubber so it won't cause swelling like normal greases do.
Yes. Use ceramic grease for the sliders. I also noticed that you appeared to be not using disk retainer screws?
@@delukxy The screws are only needed during the vehicle's assembly process to make the job faster. They are not required once the vehicle is assembled.
@@johnt.848 Yes they stop the discs falling off but you leave them in to make fitting and removal of the callipers easier. Why would anyone not use them?
@@delukxybecause they don’t serve a purpose other than robotic assembly. Human hands don’t need them to put brakes together.
Sarah your humor is the best!
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....
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
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.🐧🐧🐧👍
From somebody who loves cars and motorcycles, but who's mechanically inept, I'm in awe watching this masterpiece!
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 just finnished repairing my rear calipers on my -86 MR2, and i think your 6 hours repair time is spot on…. 😂
Ha love your period correct pink mesh shirt!
How does it feel to have somebody watch every single day of your life? 🤔
Another excellent video 😁
I click 'like' for those white wheels alone. 🔥
I have the same mentality about not overbuilding cars, I just wish I had better attention to detail 😅.Great work Sarah like always 👍
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
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!
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. 🤙
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 .
A Mr. 2 with no rust! The parts wouldn't be the worst problem normally.
Crows on the roof. 😂😂 like the Walmarts around here where on the roofs gaggles of Canadian geese march around honking. So loud you can hear them inside the store.
We're so proud of them. Saw a video of one in the water that got jumped by an eagle. The CG beat the living ( ) out of it for about a minute until it changed its mind and left to find easier prey. The bone in the leading edges of their wings is strong enough to break a grown man's arm.
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!
Love the fish-net wardrobe. Keep them up!
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
Aloha Miss Sarah! Hope you had a few minutes of downtime this weekend. Have a great week!
I had zero.. you just watched my weekend haha
@@SarahnTunedI thought I was an animal but I'm not worthy compared to you
Spiders, Crows, acorns. What else could a youtube car channel need.
Penguins have blue blood......lol
Great work!
😳
@@SarahnTuned I think it's down to the anti-freeze they use. 😂
Big W on the calipers.
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
You said "ball cream". Hahahaha!
Sarah,you are by far the best and most entertaining female wrench ( not wench!) on utube. Keep on keepin on!!! Aluminum !!
You're awesome. Whatever you want to do and publish, just know that we will enjoy the heck out of it!
Cragar SS wheels belong on 60's and 70's cars. Yep!
Sarah. FYI. Long cotter key with sandpaper stuck in cotter key and cotter key stuck in a drill makes a great cylinder hone for your slide pin holes on a caliper.
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
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!
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.)
Nice job and attention to detail Sarah! 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Liquified Kirby 😂
OMG Sarah Saving that spider! Your stock just jumped 100000+% Also MR2 Spyder....
Nice to see the MR2 again. Even better were the improvements you made on the brakes.
"Kirby Splooge.." 😁😆
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...😆
YAY! A Mr.Dos video! Cant wait to see him tuned and taken out for a RIP!! Great video per your usual!
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 :)
You can dip complete callipers in EVAPO RUST or similar. Leave the piston in and put a bleed screw in the bleed port, then take the piston out to dry and paint them. I use very high zinc primer followed by 2 pack epoxy primer one thinned coat plus a thicker one then top coat and lacquer ( before the epoxy is fully hardened) Lasts 10 years plus in UK ( normal salt on roads not that car dissolving stuff they use in NE US ) Should last pretty much forever in southern states.
This is my favorite car of all time.
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 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.
A rare joy watching a new Sarah video in my new SnT t-shirt! Correction… "boob cover"
Amazing work as always Sarah!
Great to see Mr. Dos lives
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.
Seriously, when I open my CZcams App and see that you have posted a new video, makes my day complete... Great work, and loving your attention to detail... Thanks Sarah
Best video yet. Pretty new to the channel but laughed out loud with the t shirt commentary. 😂😂😂
Yet another fantastic upgrade
Project Mu teal is the best. No brake upgrades for my GR86 yet, but maybe I'll throw their reservoir cap and sock on just for a little color.
Can't wait for the braking test. Those are fire!
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.
Hey! ALWAYS great to see your projects & YOU, of course! Just the greatest 🙂♥️
Another thing I like about your videos is that you are able to convey to the audience how tedious and time consuming rebuilding some of a cars subsystems can be without your video also being tedious. My 'specialty' (Ha-Ha) was electrical shorts. Troubleshooting them was about as much fun as a tooth extraction. Yet, it never ceased to satisfy when you finally get a car that won't start able to be driven home.
Anyone who complains about your work process is a bitter person without a purpose. I would trust my life in something you worked on, I know it was done right, no corners cut.
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!!
Nice to see Señor Dos back on the channel. Cool project.
Sarah, your final "piece of the puzzle" = getting a Turbo model proportioning valve to go with those new calipers.
Thank you, Sarah!
Im always amazed how clean Sarahs wheel wells are.
You can use an aluminum (note the spelling) turkey roaster pan from the Dollar Store to catch drips. What if that spider was from Japan and sets off an agricultural apocalypse in America?
Find a friend with a laser rust remover. It works like magic.
JDM for the win!! You lucked out hard finding all that New Old stock. 🙂
Having recently gone thru a bumper update on my own JDM, it's so nice when OEM parts fit exactly the way you want them too. All the holes line up and you don't have to be doing anything extreme to get things to fit.
Now to get back to the Celica...
MR2 is back!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to see Mr DOS getting some love. And nice to see a respectful OEM+ restoration.
I think you're right about those brakes. And personnaly I think that this clean OEM(-plus) kind of aesthetics just suits projects like yours.
And being realistic, unless you have a car from the 70s or planning to do 30 hard laps in a row every time you go out on a trackday, almost all stock brake system will do perfectly fine in any situation, even with a slightly modified car. So if you don't need that critical capacity for heat dissipation in your system, switching to more sport-oriented pads is often the best you can do. Cars already meet very strict standards from factory as it is :)
And besides, you don't need 20-piston brakes to get us excited about that little car !
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!
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
Another method to get rid of rust is chelation. It is inexpensive, won't damage components, and the chemical can be found at Home Depot or NAPA auto parts.
Does the same thing as what I did. What it doesn’t do is prep the surface like media blasting does though.
@@SarahnTuned it doesn't do any etching for better mechanical adherence of paints, primers or any similar type of top coat. What it does do is attract iron oxide molecules through ion polarization off the substrate like a magnet. A reason for my suggestion is that it won't harm or distort any details that maybe hidden beneath any corrosion such as part number stampings or other. With the exception of rust this chemical is otherwise inert.
What’s the name of the product?
@@ERDoc741 there are a few brands on the market. The one I have been using is called 'Blaster' and it's in the paint department at Home Depot stores in 1 gallon containers.
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.
Never fear, Sarah’s here! Brake attack in typical Sarah fashion. What, no compromise? Not a chance pal. This is real serious work here and she’s a one woman band. Say hello to Sarah World. Real world and in real time. This isn’t for easy streeters. Grab a seat and soak it all in. Press on Sarah!
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.
Hi Sarah I love your enthusiasm for fitting OEM parts which to most is above and beyond but like you I always use genuine parts and have hardly ever been disappointed in the result.
I am really looking forward to seeing your face when you complete the celica (wiring has been intense) keep on rocking girl I love you and your videos John uk 🇬🇧
