The last 10 minutes of this video with you ripping it around and proving it’s actually a dialed in “LEGIT” streetcar is everything. Too many KZbin builds where they cobble a car together and never dial it in. Love it. Great job Alex.

Tavarish?

[@Tyler97GSX]

@@joelynch7541 I was thinking more “B is for Build” but I guess Tavarish could be. He did some performance driving stuff to show that the build was finished for Car trek in the 675LT though. I haven’t watched much of his stuff prior to that though.

Love the 911 series. Mostly because you’re cleaning up somebody else’s rush job and making it legit. And you’re selling the car but making it legit. For the love of the game/car.

[@NyahStuff]

Man I absolutely enjoyed the series on this car. Absolutely everything that Alex has done on this car has been amazing. From fixing the fans on the car so it doesn't overheat, proving yet again that he deserves the title of Master Technician, to installing power steering and a working AC - absolutely amazing. I hope Mike is going to drive the absolute bananas out of this car and enjoy it to its core.

[@Poseoptional01]

You couldn’t have said it any better! Alex is a beast and should have the title of Master Technician. I loved this whole series! 💯🫡

I owned that 1996 B4 Passat TDI wagon for 11 years befor I sold it to Jordan. It had over 300k miles on it when he bought it from me back in 2020. That car is heavily modified, but I'll let him chime in if he wishes. I'm glad he's taken such great care of it!

[@jameswachter6875]

Dude, that's awesome, love to see another B4 Passat, especially one in that good of condition. I just imported a 96 wagon from the Netherlands, I think it's the only gas engine wagon in the states

What do you guys think of the 911? It seems to be love or hate on this one.

[@adamhonda98]

I always felt it was unique but it is a weird... so would you call it supercar?

[@user-mh2ho3mj4n]

Very few viewers have probably had the chance to enjoy the beauty of the light, fun, and very tactile air cooled 911s deliver. If you consider yourself a car person, you gotta drive one. No NEED for a crazy 2.7sc either, although club sport is always more better. 😊

The right and left-handed versions of sheers are to cut left or right circles. Not really for what hand they go on. At least in the hvac world that is the case

[@paulfagan2964]

I agree with your statement that this car is a perfect marriage between American muscle and European handling. It smacks you over the head with that exhaust note. Very cool creation. You brought it a long way in refinement and speed. Well done Alex🎉

[@NissanZSmith]

36:47 Alex! When you make those splices, if you offset them in the harness they tuck in much better instead of having them both at the same space in the harness. If you offset them the fit just a little bit better!

[@Lysdexis]

They also fit better if you solder and heat shrink instead of the solder heat shrink butt splices.

[@alk3myst]

Indeed and a little Tesa tape goes a long way for a clean look. I used to always do my stereos all even and it was pain getting things to fit nice. Once I learned this trick from a professional installer it was much better. Also he didn't like to solder connections and said a good waterproof / heat shrinkable ones are much better and now they make the ones that are a combo of solder and crimp/heatshrink.

[@Therandomchannel19]

So When this video got out I was in the hospital after hitting a moose in my jeep. And I still watched it and it made the pain bearable . Or the pain killers they put me on. Lol. Keep up the content It brings me much joy and entertainment every time you post.

The Porche turned out awesome. I have to chime in about your large drying towel. You're not giving it near enough credit or praise. I'm a truck driver, and use it on my truck whenever I wash it at home, then also dry my Silverado almost immediately after. It works flawlessly on both. Super great product!

[@mmllmmll22]

As for the oldsmobile - i knew from 1st ep that ignition coil is failing. Got my knowledge from Renaults from ~2000-2010 with their CoP setup. Those are still so f... unreliable. And they work when they are cold. Starting cold engine is great. But when they are on edge of failing... cold starts are still great, but when engine is hot or warm. Youre goin to flood the engine. And they were used in all kinds of engines. 1.6 K4M? 2.0 F4R? 2.0T F4RT (lol Fart)? Yeah. All of them had them. (Valeo part nr 245104).

Would throw a little primer on the cut edge of the trunk lid holes, water will make it in there for sure. I've also used grease just to keep the water off the raw edge.

[@jb678901]

I used to own a 964 and a 993 about 20 years ago (before the kids arrived and I needed a real backseat). Great cars...both. However, the idea of an LS motor gives me a good feeling. Nothing against the OE motor...but I would imagine the LS, especially in the USA, makes for an easier car to run daily and maintain at a more reasonable cost. Even when it comes to simple things, like changing spark plugs...the LS seems a more friendly experience (i.e. no +$1K engine drop). Great job! NICE car!

Nice! The 3M tape is AWESOME!.....They spec it as "VHB Tape"......Very High Bond.....really awesome to see the progess, and great to meet you at the Edison Park Car Show a few weeks back!

[@pastaalalamborghini]

Lesson learned - make sure your surface prep is appropriate and surface temp is 40*F and rising during application. Had an unexpected failure of VHB in a construction project, luckily no one got hurt but the root cause was either surface prep or surface temp related

[@mhtate3626]

Agreed, stuff works great. I said it elsewhere, but if needing to remove it after being stuck and applying heat causes concern, apply some isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, or mineral spirits and it typically comes apart fairly trouble free. Anything else that won't damage paint probably works just as well too. Happy wrenching out there.

[@tellyfaulkner3466]

@@pastaalalamborghini Yes. I was going to say the same thing - Surface prep is a must. Though, I hadn't heard about the surface temp stuff. My projects are mainly car badges, trim and the like not construction lol.

17:32 yes different shears for different “hands” but really you can use same hand, they just cut the metal opposite of eachother. One pushes the metal up on the left, one on the right. So need different one depending on case use

[@ryanpaaz]

Nerdy detail. That AC compressor likely wasn't vaccum sealed. Vaccum is a great way to get moisure out and find leaks, but it was likely dry nitrogen charged. Still nice to hear it was pressureized when you hooked it up, you know it's still sealed. You don't want to leave a system like that in a vaccum for extended periods of time. If there is a leak at a seal, it'll pull in dust and debris making a bad problem worse. You want higher pressure inside to push debris out if there is a seal leak.

[@dirtrider3526]

[@rustler08]

When running an IAT sensor, the closer to the engine the better. You want to accurately gauge what the temp is entering the car, as inaccurate temps can lead to detonation. A popular way to do this is actually drill into the intake itself, right behind the throttle body. But, I would have actually installed that IAT sensor on the 90 degree elbow, as that is much closer to the source.

[@alanleclair1]

I have to admit when this car first hit the channel it was only moderately interesting. But with all the work you've done and then turned up the horsepower - I'm sold!! What a great car!
