I've made some BIG mistakes - The REAL side of building cars

[@Emily1963eh]

Matt "This car is stupid fast" also "I need bigger turbos and E85" 🤣

[@eight2810]

The respect I have for this man actually showing us the issues and then solving them is immense. Awesome content.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@Emily1963eh]

This is how we all learn

[@benrambow144]

This is the modern version of 20 year old forum posts on how to fix my shit box! 😂😂😂

[@sebastianstaal9005]

You might not be a mechanic, but the fact you have mastered the act of cloning yourself is underrated ;)

[@jamest5149]

Glad to see you embrace the comments from the community on KZbin. A lot of KZbinrs rail against any feed back, suggestions or any negative comments no matter what the intention was.

[@Jimmyvb98]

24:55 talking about little things, it looks like both wiper arms need to be adjusted down. In rest you can see they are sitting above the black part of the windshield, and the drivers side one even goes off the windshield at it's highest point, going over the rubber. That's definitely gonna destroy the wiper blade over time. Loved the video btw, I honestly love the videos with the small stuff more than the big things lol (kinda like M539 Restorations, if you know what I'm talking about)

[@bealzibub4002]

The wires on the washer jets are for heated jets so your washers don’t freeze in the winter

[@vatechguy3]

In order to fix the height issue in your garage, consider replacing the opener with a side mount unit and ditch that center track. Works great for me!

[@Stoney1985]

This kind of video is quite enjoyable, numerous small issues all solved, far more relatable to the average car guy

[@garthwebb6418]

Matt’s Keepin’ it honest. That’s what I want, not all that magic “it’s fixed!” Or worse, I used to watch a different channel that is constantly “finishing” a build and then it’s on to the next project. Unfortunately, they never really seem to finish it and you never see it again. Keep up your great work. Truly amazing!! Inspiring.

[@Papa-Bogey]

In order to avoid the garage door from opening, pull the little red handle and disengage the track and motor from the door. You’re supposed to use it in emergency/power loss but it’ll prevent the door from opening if someone accidentally hits the open button.

[@mrmaddog69]

The carriage mech part that the release locks into could still hit the front of the hood, best bet is to kill the power to the opener.

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Raw dogging parts cleaner with no eye protection lol. Legend

[@bum9075]

what?

[@RichardLangis]

He's got his safety squints on, it's FINE.

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Brooooo I’ve had a few things in my eyes over my maintenance career and Matt scares me without glasses all the time. lol

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

@ Anyone who has had parts cleaner in their eyes before always wear eye protection now 🤣

[@angelohagenaars3005]

The wiring on the washers are for heating. Had those on my ‘92 Jetta. Haha

[@joevergnetti767]

That frikkin floor jack is a legend!

[@ideabrickworks9043]

Seeing the car outside reminds me how good your car looks. The wing is not my thing, but as a package, this car is beautiful! Well done!

[@keithvolner930]

Bro the elated feeling of driving a fixed car followed by the very Porsche experience of having it break again right afterward is very relatable, and what a cliff hanger!

[@stephenrohrbacher5919]

Bold move with the airbags while the battery was hooked up!

[@Andrew-vd2ko]

Matt, you have a fantastic channel. Please keep it up. I like the way you admit what is wrong and do listen when people suggest something is not right... If you ever have to scrap something, I recommend to sell it for a month or two before you get rid of it... The channel I do cars. Now sells broken parts for desk art after a person put that idea to him in the comments... It's great to offer those who want to buy the ability...

[@Bnm-fk9fi]

Don’t worry Matt, no matter how many mistakes you own up to you’re still my favourite KZbin channel 😀 keep up the quality and informative videos 👍

[@ozzyg3961]

I’ve been waiting for an upload lol🤟😎🤙

[@matt13ross]

This video took way too long!

[@cm-ex8nb]

The 997 looks great and sounds great, very tastefully done, bravo Matt!!

[@xcutiveproducer2478]

Matt Please be advised… Your windshield wiper was coming off the windshield when you tested the new spray nozzles. Just a little fyi. Don’t want your paint to be scuffed.

[@ChileVuela]

The last 2% takes 50% of the time. Or something like that. I'm going through similar small stuff on my 968 that I've had for 12 years now, trying to get that all wrapped up. Thanks for the motivation!

[@sinikv7228]

This guy really knows his cars, good job man👍

[@Rob-tq5ym]

Matt,this why your the best.showing warts and all day to day probs

[@tonyd9]

Happy for you fixing all the small things:) joy can come not only from swapping engines and restoring an entire car. Just making things work as intended by yourself is also enough 😄 fixed the hvac blower motor on my car last week, super happy about it too) Great solution with double strut bearings by the way, was gonna point out there won’t be any lip for the spring to sit on but you caught jt yourself 🎉 And don’t worry, you’ll get the new faults fixed too

[@z_855turboR]

Man I hope you can expand your garage somehow, you have so much of the will to win, but so much no space. Keep it up!

[@TheFlash8889]

20:22 The wires are likely for heating the jets, so that they don't freeze in the cold.

[@RylanDouglas-v9u]

been eagerly waiting for this episode, love your E30 M3 series

[@violinmiata]

I like the editing at @21min where the windshield washer made its sound then the guitar kicked in for the music. Really satisfying note interval!

[@todorvlaykov5162]

The most entertaining youtube mechanic! Love the videos Matt keep it up!

[@ΝίκοςΤσουκαλοχωρίτης]

Matt, you made an amazing car!! Well done, you worth it!!👍👏👏

[@g6et_wrx177]

Now I like you even more. Awesome vid showing the little an important things that help you love and actually live with a car! So looking forward to you fitting that OEM rear deck lid 😊

[@dailydriven991]

Love this kind of content. Ticking the simple things off the list is so satisfying to see. Also shoutout to that dumb garage pole. I have one too and it makes the garage feel sooooo much smaller than it is.

[@christos881]

Great content, very underrated channel.

[@MrMantis1990]

26:34 pre-stiffing helper-springs will help to solve the issue forever 😊

[@bigospig]

You have a glitch on the digital speedometer display when you are doing pulls. Strange how it pixelates.

[@matt13ross]

Hrm, I thought that was weird too!

[@boran.netsss]

i dont know anything about cars but i love your videos.

[@lucas-dg2op]

Every time you use the jack my dogs are surprised by the sound it makes😂

[@jefffanning2799]

Matt, warts and all! Great content, Thanks! Projects in real life rarely go as smoothly as they are portrayed on the internet.

[@abdulal8157]

I’m just trying to upgrade and make my Miata a show car and this man is doing all this to a Porsche. I’ll get there one day man!

[@bradwilliams5770]

Great job. Of all my channels, I think only you and Mat Armstrong actually 💯 complete things. Eventually...... 😂

[@andrebrown8792]

Excellent, the details are what make the car!! Heated washer jet wiring. Also the single beep when locking could be from the lockable center console, check that the wires are connected on the switch. The PIWIS should give you the codes why it’s beeping. Cheers.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

MIght be the only car channel on KZbin that reads the comments and makes the adjustments based on what they say.

[@Caskillas]

It's clear that we all have our own tastes, but the Porsche in Silver GT with the Apex in Brushed Clear-oh man, much better! In my opinion, of course. Nice work, man! I always enjoy it! Keep it up! Cheers.

[@bmc5108]

Great video. You are 100% correct, there are hundreds of things on a car that make it completely finished. Doing a burnout and driving it fast are not necessarily proof that everything, down to the last detail works. Anyone who works on cars knows how many, tiny bits can be wrong.

[@gernottemmel1259]

Finally a Porsche video again 😍. You have the wires in the nozzles, because they are heated.

[@PompeyMatt17]

the edits keep getting better...had to laugh at the squirt ones 😂...

[@charha01]

I couldn't find my annoying alarm beep cause, so I just disconnected the alarm horn. No one cares if they hear an alarm going off anyway, so it was just annoying ME, so it thought... kill it. I've been happy with the decision ever since. Good luck with yours.

[@g60monkey]

I love videos like this. Just going over all the snagging. Makes a good car a great one 👍

[@NicholasSisti]

This is one of my favorite KZbin channels. I see no difference in the content or quality between this and Tavarish, Hoovie, or Legitstreetcars. I think if you had any kind of build partnership or crossover with any of these guys, you’d easily hit 1m subs. Thanks for the great entertainment and motivation. If Rat Moss can do it, anyone can. lol

[@Benzlab99Bayat]

BIG RESPECT BRO and yes boss i clean my tools as i work with them and when im done the person that works for me has to clean and check all the tools are and who ever comes like fam or friends they must clean the tools before giving it back to my storage aunty lol that way things are triple checked and we never really loose a tool emphasis on really coz sometimes we do especially those torq incerts

[@stjerna2468]

Now you just need to adjust the wipers, goes beyond the glass and on the paint 😉

[@matt13ross]

Yea, I just noticed that too lol

[@Moonplant432]

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s famous quote, “God is in the details,” encapsulates the significance of paying attention to the small intricacies and finer aspects of our surroundings. It implies that by focusing on the minutiae, we can truly appreciate and understand the grandeur and beauty that exists in everything.

[@GH-fb3fk]

Great video. But I saw your drivers wiper blade going across the A-Pillar when you were checking the washers. It looks like the blades park too high from the wiper cowl. At 24:55 in video. Keep up the great content.

[@pollatso]

Great episode nice editing always really liked that 997 colour inside & out matches perfectly looks great 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

[@liamegan4303]

Hello from Ireland again, Matt. Jesus, well done fixing the instrument dials lol, it's so complicated to me, lol 😆 😅. You're getting there slowly, buddy, and that's the important thing, 👏👏👏. Keep up the brilliant work, you're putting us all to shame 🫠. I just put my GT3 into the garage, and then get a massive bill, lol. But, I have learnt so much stuff, just by watching 👀 you. Your little hacks are brilliant. Keep up the Solid work, Matt. 🙏🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nebelosa]

Realy like your videos, keep up the good work !

[@davidchandler9812]

Great to see so many jobs ticked off 👌

[@mikeabrunhosa7362]

Is that your quik jack hose that you drive over 30:17? Should probably disconnect them to avoid damaging the hydraulic lines. Just a safety consideration as you don’t want those to fail somewhere down the line (no pun intended) 😅

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Enjoyed this one, good work 👍

[@drunkguy_6639]

Cant wait to start my 2018 ZL1 rebuild, i will be recording all of it. love to find a Porsche next rebuilt.

Hi great video as always and great Porsche and like the original in all that a big Big UP to you from France 🇨🇵 and see you in the next video 👍👌💪😎🔥🔥🔥

Getting buff , 50/50 on the 997 wing , steering wheel looks great , lol 997 problems 😂 the ding 🛎️ was almost normal when I had my 997tt

[@OFDPumpdriver]

You should affix a pad or something to your garage door track so you don't have to worry about or accidentally forget to put a towel on your hood to protect it.

[@loekotten]

i respect you so much bro and i love these videos, keep it up God bless

[@KMoyseFitness]

The wires on the washer jets are for heating elements I believe

[@CRXBOOGIEBOYZ]

See if there are PIDS for the security module. Then check for abnormal readings for all security sensors. Like door latches motion sensors. See if a door latch is showing open even if the door is closed ETC. We do this a lot with Fords. Sometimes the latches will not show symptoms obviously but will be out of spec enough to set false alarms or prevent activation

[@lawrencesymonds-barnes8343]

Love the e30 content keep it up matt

[@NBMBC40]

Great work Matt car is epic.

[@anatolli1]

Great content as always, waiting for the e92

[@deimosphob]

I usually try to clean as I go, but sometimes you get in too deep and once you're there you leave the mess for tomorrow.

[@Jonathan-zb9cc]

Normally there is a small clip on the adjuster so you don’t have to remove the disc to adjust your brake , but this will work👍🏻

[@amicorum1amicorum-main62]

Porsche looks good 😍 I like it

[@L0000NEY]

I'm sure you see it, but in case you missed it, the drivers side wiper is hitting your a pillar.

[@chrisjones151]

Hay Matt you might want to check your rotors are on the correct sides on your porche as well as the M3 Cos they all look like they are rotating in the wrong direction for drilled discs

[@imTyp0_]

Congrats!

[@K1dPhresh1]

I HATE rubber/plastic floor mats. Plugging up the airbag with power on….is WILD!! Glad you got it mostly all figured out. It’s a nice ride!!

[@matt13ross]

I hate carpet floor mats LOL. I think it's a myth about airbags going off like that. I do it probably more often than I should.

[@challengerjetdriver]

Thanks for Porsche content!

[@matt13ross]

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrMantis1990]

15:53 I've got a different problem with floor mats... Maybe you know a good solution?! They wear off like crazy on the drivers side. They wear trough the carpet... I have pretty fast some holes in it 😅😅😅 Maybe I simply drive too often 😅

[@icemancaden]

Love all of this! I hope I can be able to do something similar in the future like you

[@matt13ross]

If I can do it, really anyone can.

[@TwanRood]

Mate, your spring should stay stationary on the strut at all time. The whole MCphearson assembly should rotate freely around the upper bearing. So if you turn the wheel, you should not see anything rotate different than the whole assembly.

[@JustinChism]

Man, I was hoping you'd be getting rid of those wheels for your truck finally. LOL

[@carlosarroyo2903]

Wires on the windshield washer squirters is because these cars have washer heaters.

[@marvinvisser5039]

awesome dude

[@kasperwinterhag]

Those wiers for the washer noizzles could be for heated nozzles. My Bmw e39 from 98 had that as an option.

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Good job!

[@Mickyrst43]

I like the 911,but I love the E30!!!

[@MarcoDambrosio96]

In my cayenne for my windshield washer fluid I have a corrugated line to connect to the individual nozzles, maybe you're missing that.

[@sergiudan9010]

the cables in the windshield sprayers its for heating soo in the winter it dosent freeze

[@MarcoDambrosio96]

Swapping the cables on a Porsche door is such a nightmare. In your video was 20 seconds but I KNOW it took at least 25 minutes IRL. Tell me I'm wrong LMAO

[@sebspeed6403]

awesome video

[@bealzibub4002]

I could be wrong but on other cars it usually means that one of the doors, trunk or hood doesn’t think it’s closed so maybe check all the switches at all the catches

[@juangiorgi5193]

One little thing your windshield wiper is going past your glass might scratch ur sexy paint
