At 5:16. The Struts on these are cartridges from what I remember. The actual shock absorber is inside the strut held by a pin at the base. If you knock out the pin the strut cartridge comes out saving quite a bit of money.

Yep, the Bilstein strut cartridges are replaceable and not $2k. Why you go to an aircooled specialist garage.

[@MH-ev3wr]

You beat me to it! $2k my ass. The inserts come out and can be individually replaced. It always frustrates me when people complain that these cars are "so expensive to maintain". Nope, they're not - just do the work yourself, read up on the forums, ask a lot of questions, and you're golden. Air cooled 911s are some of the easiest cars to work on.

[@nigspeed]

@@MH-ev3wr totally agree . And if it's a major service, which it seems to be , just drop the engine and box , do the breather seals at the top , change all oil hoses , then send the CIS unit away for rebuild. The valve cover seals look like they are weeping, posible head studs need checking while you are there , cos looks like you may have a few that have snapped.

[@MH-ev3wr]

@@nigspeed Totally! The triangle of death is a major source of leaks. Engine drop on this car is a no-brainer. No mention made of new plugs, cap, rotor, and valve adjustment, either. As you said, check head studs while doing valve adjust. Can’t remember if turbos in ‘86 used dilvar studs or not.

Great video as usual, but I am going to be "that guy" and point out that a 930 turbo is a 911 in every respect. The 930 designation indicates a specific variant of 911.

[@16v15]

It was generally a '911 Turbo'. The 930 moniker was an internal designation that they used on they first wave they sold back in the day. They dropped it (930) when they came back in 1986. For the minutiae, consult Bruce Anderson's tome...

[@jkeaton1513]

Yep...first thing I noticed. Same with 996, 997.991 all internal Porsche chassis designations for 911 models.

[@thebigmacd]

Yeah, it's like saying "what you find on this sweet S197, you won't find on a Mustang". A 930 is a second-gen 911, made from 1975 to 1989. Preceded by the 911 body code, succeeded by the 964. That being said, they continued to build the 911 body code the whole time the 930 was in production.

[@johnrodgers6049]

Agreed. AND 930 and Turbo is redundant. All 930s are turbos

[@jamesvelvet3612]

I bought one brand new and have still have the dealer order and factory (U.S.) brochure. The 930 was indeed listed separately as well as a 911 Turbo. The 911 Turbo is the car in this video. The 930 S is similar but with the factory slant nose kit (which I did not order). From the factory U.S. brochure: "The 930 S the slant nose Porsche street version of the 935 race car". Remember back then aftermarket body shops were making big $$ doing these slant nose conversions and eventually the factory decided to get in the action and offered a 930 S.

I don't care what anyone else says, Porsche does two things REALLY, REALLY well - manual transmissions and fender arches (they're not tacked on afterthoughts here but beautifully integrated into the body). I agree with the Wizard. You get what you pay for. Do you really want to take a chance with somebody who will "do your car cheaper" only to have to pay AGAIN to have it done right when the car breaks again, it's still apart weeks later, etc.? These aren't your run-of-the-mill cars. These cars are literally rolling works of art. There's something called CRAFTSMANSHIP that lost on thousand-a-minute cars that are stamped out like tin cans.

Hello, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.

[@jeep2003]

could have those bilsteins rebuilt a whole lot cheaper

[@Lumpygrits76]

I always enjoy these videos. And can somewhat relate. Discussion of costs and alternatives to the costs are great. But like my wife says about me. “I agree with everything you said. You’re 100% correct. It’s just the delivery that’s kinda fucked up.” Dropping straight facts while not coming across as a dick is something I continue to work on. Much like almost every exotic car? It’s never 100% fixed 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Ahhhh. Back in the day when I used to valet park cars for a living, this was my favorite. A lot of these First gear was left and DOWN, not sure why this wasn’t.

[@TBO3095]

[@boss123400]

[@ravennexusmh]

looks like someone was going for the gemballa look a bit in the mid80's those terrible side skirts and front air dam are not stock 930 turbo (edit) or maybe they were part way to a 930 flatnose look and didn't go all the way.

[@varmastiko2908]

It looks like a factory aero kit. Such were offered as an option even outside of a full flatnose kit.

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Late factory 930, I believe.

[@toolzshed]

Oh I thought it was the one Hoovie bought

[@jamesvelvet3612]

Ordered mine on October 14, 1986 and was delivered a couple of months later. Purchased from the dealer in Fairfield, CT: Grand Prix white with burgundy leather sport seats, sunroof, limited slip and a sunroof. Looking at my purchase order now and see that was $61,468 plus tax/license reg fees. Quite a bit of $$ 35 years ago (!). People have no idea how small these 911 Turbos are compared to the bloated recent 911 variations. Placed side by side a stock air-cooled Turbo looks small and the non-Turbo narrow bodies look absolutely tiny. I guess the 911 had moved considerably up stream not only in power but also size. A Cayman GTS 4.0 might be the smart move now ;-)

1. The 930 was the second car ever built that "Wants to kill you". It does. The turbo is huge, the boost is big, it comes on unexpectedly, and this combined with the trailing throttle oversteer from the rear engine design has killed a bunch of people. The "rear engine doctor killer". I drive a '14 981 Cayman S which is faster and far safer than this car, but I can understand why people want a...."pet cobra", which this basically is. 2. To answer your question, the first car built that wanted to kill you was the Shelby 427 Cobra. The third was the original Dodge Viper. Number four is probably the most effective tool to earn you a casket: Porsche 980 Carrera GT. 3. Ah yes, the stupid 912. Oops did I make a mistake? 911, sorry. In any case, Porsche designed a FAR BETTER product in 1972 and sold it in 1978 as the type 928. I had one for over 19 years and worked on it myself with NO mechanical training whatsoever. This car could do anything. It handled great, looked fantastic, and while the US models were tamed by the EPA, the Rest Of World models were nearly as fast as that 911 turbo and definitely handled better than ANY 911. [This is a plug for the 928] 4. -I'm surprised David is working on this car. It has Bosch CIS injection, which is a NIGHTMARE! Hoovie's old Bentley had this and is is troublesome. It works GREAT as long as there is no sort of dirt or water that gets to the fuel distributor. Once that happens, you just need to pull out your credit card and expect a multi-thousand dollar bill from your mechanic. This system is what I call an "Engineer's system", meaning that it works on paper but in the real world it is a piece of SHIT~ 5. That interior color is called "gray beige" by Porsche, with an "a" in the "gray". Porsche back then marketed their cars to the United States and this is telling: In English language, "gray" is proper in the US and "grey" is proper in the United Kingdom. Great video!

I wish you would show the actual repairs while you're doing them. That would be awesome to see. I know that's a lot of work but would make great content! Looking forward to more videos from the great Car Wizard!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Mechanics should wear body cams. 😉

[@HazewinDog]

that would really slow down the repairs... you'd have to reserve AT LEAST 2x the time, realistically.

[@fcknkllr]

@@HazewinDog but would make for some great content!

[@tjclt250r]

these 930 Porsches are knows as the WIDOWMAKER so many guys in the 80s bought them after driving there 180 hp corvettes and werent used to the combination of the light weight....the rear engine....300+hp and a BIG turbo that lags until you reach 3000 rpm then BANG!!! you are rolling...alot of times when that boost came on it brought the car right into an oncoming car or into the woods... these cars are SICKK.... there is a minty black one that just moved in down the st from me...keep up the GREAT WORK.... WIZARD and CO

[@lesliedsouza4077]

Strange business, re: the front struts? From the vid view, obviously, torsion bar suspension? Wheel spindle, etc, cast integral, with the lower strut, Including, Steering, "King pin" axis? Strut connected at bottom, to the control arm, by swivel cup? Therefore, the strut must swivel, with steering? This would be a racing design? Not surprising, if the shocks leaked? 55k miles, not bad, that design? Theoretically, could be poss to dismantle & r/b? That's after market? Manufacturer would supply, only complete units? Want Big Boys Toys? Got da Money, Honey? We got parts & time :)

[@afqferreira]

Just to clarify, the Porsche 930 is a Porsche 911, just like the Porsche 934, 964, 993, 996 and today's 997 are all Porsche 911. However in North America "someone" wrongly gave it the nickname that stick of 930, all because its internal type number add the 930 in it.

[@bmwloco]

Had a 911 Targa. It was ok. But my 1967 912 Targa with soft rear window... sold it for $26,500 and thought I did ok. Found it recently. It sold for over $130,000. Silly season in effect.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Hey who squished that VW?

[@Backin48]

Wizard you're killing me with the "930 Turbo". When you say 930, it means that it is a turbo. 930 = 911 Turbo, saying 930 Turbo is like saying 911 Turbo Turbo. LOL No big deal of course, Love the channel.
