MY CHEAP FERRARI FINALLY LEAVES ME STRANDED! FIXING THE BUDGET 360 PROJECT

[@WeaselBurrito]

Even though it is a gorgeous MCM house with a Ferrari and a Porsche in the garage, this content is relatable as heck to me. No hanger sized shops with 6 figures in tools and multiple lifts, just dealing with jacks, jack stands, ramps and working on your back. I felt that oil change mini rant. Just did the first one on my new to me truck today. First time dealing with a cartridge style oil filter. Not sure what idiot thought those were a good idea, friggin oil everywhere.

[@nelushasilva1681]

DDE idiots can learn a thing or two from Vin about making no bs quality content and how not to miss lead your faithful audience. please continue making this type of content Vin. Your videos are worth every single second of your audiences time. Best of luck !

[@Fac3bon3s]

The faithful audience knows how to sense sarcasm. Unlike most casuals. I love DDE and Vin, different content from the same world. Keep hate watching though.

[@DoctorBJ]

Honestly same. Tried watching DDE to fill the space Hoonigan left behind but I just can’t. Clickbait titles and thumbnails are insufferable and runtime is way too long for so little actual content. I wish the best for every car KZbinr keeping the game alive but DDE just isn’t for me. Mike Essa is a G tho

[@andrewcarbone6192]

One of the things I like about your channel is as much as you are a car guy who has his shit together, you also a car guy who does not have his shit together, like rolling up to AutoZone or whatever and saying, "whadaya mean I can't get an oil filter for a Ferrari here??" Keep keeping it real.

[@joejoecamel9106]

"Its amazing how doing little things like a TCU and a ECU change makes your car fun to drive again." Friend, putting new Yellow fog bulbs in (ANY mod you do yourself) makes it fun to drive again! Love the content! Life goes FAST! Drive FASTER!!

[@TheMrpunisher77]

@13:07 FYI when you pour oil into the car, instead of pouring the bottle the way you did with the hole at the bottom, turn it so the hole is on top and then pour the oil. It will seem wrong but that is how they where designed to be poured so not to make a mess, and you can get the bottle very close to the oil hole then. Use it don't use it LOL

[@hawaiian_judge5113]

as a 38.5 year old man, whom has been doing my own and family oil changes since the age of 14, I can relate to the complete inability to walk away un-oiled myself.

Love seeing you gradually add in new things in your videos and refining your style. We’re seeing the last of a dying breed of true car enthusiasts, keep up the work vin ❤.

[@arjenwennekes]

Hi Vin, Nice video! Again! I may have a useful tip. I use 8 woodblocks for my 360. Each about 40cm long, 10cm high, wide enough for the tires. Jack the car up 1 side, 1 block Front and back. Jack up other side high enough for 2 blocks Front and back. Then first side second block both wheels. Takes 5 minutes and the car is high enough up to crawl under. Also for removing the undertrays. Keep up the nice Videos!

[@acetylcholine3]

Vin, that was probably the best sponsored segment I've ever seen on KZbin! Love the content, keep it coming!!!

[@DanREVan]

The automotive story telling in you videos is what brings me back. You have a episode story and a meta story as well. Over all that you are yourself here. This is what is needed.

[@all-flat-engines]

10:51 If you're on a budget don't get an air-cooled Porsche either then, 993 take two model specific filters and 10L of oil, plus theres a VERY involved process to get it all out of the engine. High performance euro cars from this era weren't built to be cheap or easy to maintain at all

[@Tech-bv9oj]

The RF from the garage door is amplifying the signal of your key.. makes sense right lol i think you're on to something there

Falling in love with this build. Much respect for all the people like Vin who work on their own cars. Built > Bought any day. Too many posers in L.A. paying people to mod their cars because they don’t have the skills to turn a wrench.

[@trektri77]

What a great episode. Love your approach to walking us through the process without yelling at us, using weird KZbinr / influencer voice, or unnecessarily stretching something out to fill air time. The 360 sounds way better now with the valve controller working and the shifts sound way quicker. It was great to see the bench flashing process for the ECUs. I’m considering doing some upgrades to my 612 that would require some ECU tuning by trev.

[@erikantunez9771]

Vin, you’re killing the content, music, transitions and everything. I’m loving the videos. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@MSA_CS40]

It’s so interesting that so many little changes can make such a difference. One of the reasons why i like this channel so much is because Vin is really about the details and that information is gold.

[@billthomas9036]

I just watched your goodbye Hoonigan video. I'm a nearly 70 year old car guy and you got my attention with the Ferrari because I've always wanted one. I have a 2000 FRC highly modified engine, a 1967 corvette coupe project, a 1931 model A five window coupe Hotrod and 1987 Chevy 3500 dually lowered. I don't completely understand you but I can't help but like you. I look forward to seeing what your'e up to in the future. I'd say good luck but I don't think you'll need it. Knock em dead!!

[@vin_tra]

Thanks man! Solid lineup, i love the FRC and i grew up in muscle cars. I’ll have my dad’s chevelle in some of my future content! Also always wanted a square body dually for a tow rig. Even if it gets like 500 feet per gallon.

[@kalwiggy]

One thing I want to add. I'm not a big car mechanic guy but when pouring your oil, put the spout at 12 o'clock instead of 6 o'clock to avoid the glug. Sure it's slower, but you avoid the waving and glugging and moving your funnel out of place.

[@Raphael-zl5jb]

So rad to see a legit car person just enjoy cars. Vin, you’re car KZbin’s MVP!

[@jameswhitehead6758]

@6:10 : On my E39 Touring there was an electrical problem with the ABS module where when it would get hot it would go haywire. Speedo would bounce between actual speed and zero. ABS would freak out on stops. There may be a module that, when heated, causes issues due to 25 years of degradation and heat cycling.

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

On the oil change subject... no, it's not possible to do that without at least some mess. I've got the trajectory of the oil stream down now, but the biggest culprit is always the filter. The only good way is having a huge drip pan with one of those mesh splash defender deals.

[@wadepaul2943]

Hert and yall need too go see Rob , Chair Slater. And Geter done!

[@rilerr]

Yes, heat can affect the wiring, expanding and retrackting and so on. So if it's cooler in your garage, it might explain why it doesn't start out in the heat.

[@charlieandtheferrari]

Great progress! My motor mounts were the same - didn’t look that bad but were. I also can’t change oil without a mess! TCU update is next on my list - glad to see the results were good.

[@vin_tra]

TCU is HUGEEEE night and day

[@sheets900]

Agree those mounts didn't look that bad. Both of mine were smashed and the passenger side completely fell apart when I turned it upside down. You should consider changing the thru bolt at the same time. The factory nut is a locking style that damages the threads of the bolt when it's unthreaded, so if it's re-used the increased friction will result in hitting the torque spec at a lower clamping force. I use the same method for removing the plastic undertray. Tall wheel ramps are key.

[@gentlemandrivermx]

Saw you first time on JPs Tesla Model3 video where you talk to him and directly thought, hey what a kind and sympathic guy. So directly subscribed and enjoyed your videos a lot. Authentic, kind, lots of great advices and old school. Love that, keep going like this. Love the 997 GT3-RS so much. Absolutely dream car and my personel favorite over all sport cars. Used to have a 996 Gt3 and loved to have also a 997 like yours but very difficult in Germany to get one without selling your soul :-D The 4.0 is unreachable. Looking forward to enjoy your upcomming videos with the 360. Crazy italians. Very special oilfilters :-D

[@stormsurfin]

turn the oil jug 180 degrees when you pour it (opening at the top) and the oil won't glug while coming out. begin with the jug flat for an easier start to your pour then rotate the jug to have the opening at the top. no need for a funnel, just send it and still have no mess.

[@barbedwirekeyboard]

If you flip the oil jugs so the opening is at the top instead of the bottom, you'll get smoother flow without the bottle gulping air.

[@syygnis]

I'm super pleased with Vin's content so far genuinely properly enjoyable to watch.

[@Firewheelers]

Vin, this stuff is good. You've tapped into a proper niche. The background you have through Hoonigan & other projects, combined with now your own style with a healthy dose of Neistat seasoning is making for some really good stuff man.

Waiting for this merch drop with phrases like "support the boys who support the boys" and "vins bolt on boys garage" A side note to commenters about the editing style and Feng shui of the videos here being better than hoonigans or some of his shredditors. Yes. Vins style and knack and personality is heavily reflected in the videos we liked. And alot of scumbaggery comes from his interactions and herts ain't care. Was a solid time. I'll look back on it with fond memories and glad to be alive driving my own 02 wrc and being a general hooligan. Now we are aged out of the hooligan but we have money and memories and opportunities!

Align the headlights Vin, I noticed that one is significantly higher than the other when you pulled in the garage. Find a flat ground, measure the height with the front end parked right next to the wall, then back it up 7 meters (whatever that is in bald eagle units), and the headlight cutoff should be 5-7cm (2-3 inches) below what it was when the car was parked next to the wall. Both sides should be obviously level with eachother as well.

[@Zosh]

Man I love the content dude. good vibes everytime.

[@Petrospect]

Yknow what the F1 box here SOUNDS a lot more crisp, it seems to have taken a lot of the lag out of it, 28:02 etc. really sound like it’s finally ripping the downshifts a whole lot better. It’s odd that this is all software because the noise sounds a lot like how F355s should in my head. Such a beast! I didn’t rate 360s as much before but for sure, bolt ons just seem to have transformed this thing. And again, even if it ends up on a flatbed, you still have a Ferrari!
