“It’s running … Holy Sh!t” (no squeak-out). Woohoo!
There are two types of people: ones that have made stupid mistakes, and liars.
NAh, even the folks that do this stuff for a living make mistakes like those. How do you think they know to look for them now? They made the exact same mistakes at some point. If a project goes together too smoothly, that's when you get really paranoid that you missed something. lol

Yeah, exactly that. Retrofitting a trigger-wheel by eye on a crank pulley vs a machine-shop fit, in my case. Cost me a crank trigger and heaps of time. Help comes from unlikely places: everyone's secretly a petrolhead...

I'm a gearhead of 45 years and I've only had three engines go way too smooth, with total paranoia, but were perfect right out of the box. I built a 455 Olds 442 engine from scratch, all hand built. I did a lot of research on it and built it to be a 450 hp engine and it put out 475 right off the engine stand. Talk about paranoid? But it was perfect. Yeay for our side. The other was a 351 Cleveland in a Ford Bronco that I also built from scratch to put out 400 horsepower and that exactly what it put out off the engine stand. (402) And of course, nothing like that ever happened again until very recently. I supercharged a Pentastar V-6 in my 2018 Dodge Charger AWD with 9,000 miles on it and also added a ported intake manifolds, a Hellcat throttle body, and giant injectors set up for 93 octane, to put out 510 horsepower, and it's puts out 522 to the ground with 14 pounds of boost; in 4 wheel drive. And that, is the total extent of things that went too smoothly and really were. In 45 years. LOL
James May is still lurking in the background, being quietly impressed I’m sure.

I'm super proud of you, you took on a challenge that many veteran builder and tuners would have found challenging and you made it interesting and so satisfying. Thank you Sarah you may not know it but you bring a ray of sunshine into a lot of people's day.
You got no quit! Definitely admirable.

Hearing your voice when it started was pure joy. Congrats Sarah!
The Honda comment reminds me of the only Honda stuff in my garage. Some white silicone I use on all the window and roof seals is from Honda. Recommended by Mr Miata himself!
Sarah's Mr. Dos is immaculate. Even the studs on the brake rotors are super clean, her shop super clean, her home garage is super clean. Great car Vlogs with quirky ratings with cookies, penguins, and beans. You do it well Sarah
Eyyy Jimmy Oakes is the GOAT! Awesome mini collab. He is def a super solid human. :D Congrats on first start.
Thank you Jimmy and Charlie. Too many days in a row of non stop work causes mistakes and sometimes injuries. Nobody got time for that!
Wow! You do have a great sense of humor!
Big up to you Sarah, for sharing the problems. The only person who has not made a mistake is the one who does nothing
Sarah, I identify with you. I stoped counting the times I put the distributor 180 degrees out. Hooray for success.
WOO! Cool to see it running. Hey - don't stress over the mistake; you were 95% focused on wiring, which in of itself is something so scary most people wouldn't even attempt. Awesome job!

Hear that? It's raining, so it's going to start. LOL. Love it that Jimmy O reached out to you. That's awesome. So cool to hear him chatting with you.
Don’t be ashamed of missing just one little thing, many more would have done the same thing wrong. You did all the rest correct and the car looks awesome ! Great work Sarah !
Congratulations on getting it running!
Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve done a whole bunch of top shelf work on the MR2.
I'm sure it's such an amazing feeling to get the MR2 running again. I'm blown away by your attention to detail and you incredible knowledge with wiring it all up. You're amazing, Sarah!!!

Just happened upon this video. All I can say is that I honestly had no idea of the amount of electronics involved in the new cars. Hats off to you and everyone else that can tune and work on these cars. Much respect. Glad I watched.
I can't be the only one to notice how excited Sarah got getting it started.
Always good to see our favorite KZread - inter-web starlet working her magic on an automobile. Any automobile..... Thanks for your wonderful work Sarah and for making your devoted fans smile..... I could listen to you say buttons and aluminum for hours... No comment on "squirting fast and getting in you hair". I am a gentleman after all... That's what she said...
I’m glad you were not alone in that moment when Mr.Dos started, especially since it was Charlie. In the long run, you two have a special connection, physical or not.
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. The support from your KZread audience shows how much we appreciate your tenacity and overall “can do” attitude. The major accomplishment is the tremendous job you did with the complete re-wiring. Well done!
Think I lost count of the number times I laughed, in a good way, at all the comments through the video. Really made my day watching this.
I really like your work on the engine bay in its entirety, and that loom is wow , like seriously? I've seen wire harnesses in satellites that weren't even close to that well wrapped and strained relieved. Thanks for your vid
Installing an ECU from scratch is major f’in AGGRO! Glad it has fire in the hole now.
New Sarah videos are the best notifications.
Are you kidding me you’re amazing with what you do. We’re all learning all the time:)
It still baffles me just exactly how much work you've put into the re-wiring project. Just massive. I'm in awe since I don't think I would ever take on something like that.
Still rockin’ it. I’m glad you fcked up AND admitted it in the video. Not glad you messed up, just the way you owned it. Nice job as usual!
Considering the absolutely massive task you undertook on the MR2 couple of really small errors are nothing, you did it, very proud.
I’ve been “N TUNED” to your vlog from day one.
Great job! Congrats on getting the MR2 started!
That wire management is on point. Well done!
I knew that you would do it; one great thing about you is that you don't give up easily. On to the next project!!👍🤗🛻
That's fantastic that it's running. Nothing to be ashamed about our embarrassed about. You're human, and a pretty awesome one at that!
Your videos crack me up. You have a awesome sense of humor.
Congrats on getting her running! There really isn't much of a better feeling than that 😊

This is one of the videos on this channel my wife can relate to. She also hates it when I squirt gasket maker in her hair. Congratufrickinlations on getting Mr Dos idling. We knew you could do it. All the people that helped you get it done are real champs.
If it started up right away, purring like a kitten, I don't think it would mean as much.The fact that it's sputtered and coughed into life makes me want to see what the tune does to it. Great job Sarah. I'm gonna stay n-Tuned.
The Honda flange bit was next level… how you did that with a straight face is almost as impressive as your electrical system wiring abilities.
Congrats Sarah!! Job well done!!
I shed some tears because that journey… beautiful minds. Enjoy your channel.
nothing to be embarrassed about, that is a hell of a lot of wiring and your attention to the detail is amazing.
Nice work even though there were glitches along the way. What makes it so interesting is how methodical you are at chasing things down, correcting them and then putting it all back together with so much care and attention to the details.
Fantastic! Great job. So satisfying.
Congrats on the startup! I'm pumped for your Ranger project. As an added bonus, your brain farts, while speaking, are the gift that keeps on giving! I'm Tuned-n!
You did an awesome job and so did Jimmy and Charlie! Mr. Dos is alive! Vroom vroom!
Awesome work Sarah...that took some serious work to get to this point, congratulations to the first start after all that work. Now to fine tune it and Mr. Dos will BE a little ripper!
Yay! I knew you could get it running. You rock!
Congratulations! Your work looks way better than anything from the factory. Your OCD paid off. Hope you're not burned out.
“I was just little confused with my input”, story of my life Sarah! You gave me a good laugh today and seeing you happy made me happy, thank you!

Hooray for Sarah Sarah one MR2 bupkiss a tremendous amount of work you just put into something that most wouldn't even dream of trying way to go girl you did it !!!!!!!!
I'm in-tuned to you wearing that green shirt 👕. Nice
Congratulations on a 1st fire!
What an indescribably amazing feeling it is when the car finally starts. I'm always glad when it happens to me, and I'm stoked beyond measure for you! Best of luck, have fun, other tidings of goodness.
Hot damn! So excited to hear it run! Awesome work!
You do such amazing work!!
I'm happy for you!!!
Mr. Dos lives!!! God for you, Sarah!!!
It's nice to see you so happy. Well done Sarah. It'll be running perfectly in no time.
Congratulations! Well done.
When its all done it'll be show car worthy.
You've made me a happy human. I don't know why I even care about this stuff other than it's fun being taken down the rabbit hole with your tech-geek wiring stuff. A long time ago I made a wiring harness for my Shovelhead Harley, which by the way is a complicated as a Zippo lighter, and it was an absolute nightmare - for me. Please don't say you're dumb and whatnot. Tell us you're exploring other, untrod avenues - be nice to yourself. We all like you.
I literally cheered when the car started! I love your work Sarah you rock!!
Got my brother -n-tuned to Sarah. I don't know if that makes me a pimp or a shill or a recruiter in the Sarah army.

Your a Badass! Love your attention to detail and honesty.....
Years. ago when I was a service manager at a dealership, I had tech that was a genius like you. He didn't always show up on time, but man he make factory looms, trouble shoot any thing electrical. This was in the early 80's when you needed giant breakout boxes to even attempt electrical repairs. Even the factory engineers would come down to visit him. Funny the owner of the dealership wanted him gone, because he wasn't the model employee. Glad I kept him around.
