Epic

Steve always looking out for us. ❤❤

I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and experience with this job. I agree that paying the extra money for a better-quality tank is the better option.

fun times! that was me stalling and also having no clue how to pit :)

Steve, where do we find more info on this?

Probably a dumb question on my part,but when you put the sensor and pipe back onto the new pump,does the pipe have 2 washers either side top and bottom? Ive just put the pipe back on and can only see one washer which is on top then the sensor on top of that.?

Thanks for the upload! I discovered that removing the secondary air pump (3 nuts, a hose, and the electric connector) let me get a good grip on the engine side hose clamps without special tools!

I'm enjoying your journey changing the IMS bearing. I am considering buying a Boxster and will likely change the IMS immediately as you are. By the way, if you always hit your head on the same spot on the lift, put a pad on that spot. It will be cheaper than a visit to the emergency room.

Hi, I love your systematical approach to this job as I do it for all my recent mechanical and electrical jobs on my PORSCHE cars. I have to do it in this afternoon on my 986 (5/1999 with 233.000 km).😁 The expansion tank is now about 170 € in the best OEM quality (Mahle/Behr). I was as well told, that this is a hard job even for experienced (PORSCHE) guys. With your video I'm looking forward to.... Greetz from Germany (in the vincinity of Zuffenhausen)

Helloww, is rear seat can contains 3 adults comfortably?

Could someone confirm for me that the HUD safety feature is only available in the ''Ultimate Trim'' ?

Looks like you weren't aware of the "active" mode which means it was off which defaults your handling and performance to "sport" mode which is one level down from that of track.

2 years in with my Kona Ultimate EV, I'd buy another tomorrow but all cars come with negatives here's what I"ve found. There's an enormous well at the bottom of the windshield, this fills with snow which then becomes ice and well, it's a pain. I bought a hood/windshield cover for $25. The 12 V is critical, while an ICE car will go without the 12 battery, not so the Kona. There is no way to tell the condition of the 12 V battery and if it starts to go, you're in trouble with the potential of getting stranded or worse. It appears there are "devices" operating from the 12 V battery that you don't know about, so taking care of this critical element of the car is ... hit or miss. I don't know what the size of cell phones are in Korea, but might does lie flat in the cell phone cubby hole, someone wasn't thinking. I thought I'd criticize the manual but every manual of every car I've owned has been awful, the Kona EV's no worse than average... Now, as has been mentioned in some of the comments, driving an EV is different, dealerships are awful at knowing how to transition people from ICE to EV. It would be a simple matter for the manufacturer to write netbased training program, but I suppose that would be too customer oriented.

I raced a number of years in VARA. This gentleman reminds me of the delightful people in vintage racing. I miss them.

Amazing driving and what a sweet track. #TrackRekord skills rock!

Send it Kai! Happy to watch you putting in laps there again.

Wow your S1 is pretty much identical to mine. Never seen one like it👌🏻

Hey just for clarification, I stayed to watch on Sunday. It was pretty entertaining to watch them skating around.

Thanks for all that info! If you don’t mind could you post the name of company that repaired the screen. Somebody tried to steel mine so trim is broke and screen is shot. Thanks and have a great day.

Really enjoyed this great explanation of fitting new bearing would you say that a badly worn ims bearing would throw up a cam variation fault code

Thank you for doing this, very helpful!

You hit the nail on the head, the Porsche is more accessible, it's easier to go fast with relatively little seat time. The Z4M requires significantly more seat time to learn its eccentricities. The BMW will bite you if you screw up, the Porsche is more forgiving.

#FindYourApex 🙌🏼

i have the same car. When I first bought the car, range is 300+ miles which is wrong. I believe the computer will learn the true range over time, which about 250. after a year+ of driving it. my total range is now 250. so there is no battery degradation.

You’re not interested in selling one of them are you??

Nice, Are you a stage 2 tuned?

Thanks for a very informative video.

Congrats on the trophy! Sounds like a wonderful cause that you're racing for. I always enjoy your VLOGs Steve, you have to do them more often 😂 Hopefully I'll be able to join you next time when my E36 isn't broken!

My experience transitioning out of the Navy was I felt I lost both community and purpose. It is surprising how working on a beater race car with a bunch of crusty vets can really give you both. Thank you for all the support you have given us!!!

Look forward to reaching with you again in April. Hopefully our car will run as good as yours. Didn’t we just change that exhaust hanger?

Awesome video! We raced this lemons race to! Such a great track!

I really appreciate these videos, thank you! I noticed your in AZ too.. want to sell your 986 now that I know the IMS/RMS are done? hahaha :)

out of all high speed stability changes I dont really mind the spoiler, cfd results have shown up to 60% or so in reduction of rear lift and for a short wheelbase car every bit helps, however, Im not a fan of audi messing with the suspension or adding esp, cars got less sharp, which is fine for the general masses I suppose, but disappointing for the enthusiasts. I have an early 99 apx 225ps coupe in black and absolutely love these cars. Steve, yours is a really nice example, if only mine was this good when got it. Ive done a fair amount of work to mine over the years, mainly lots of oem parts for reliability, but also some modifications to make it more focused keeping it as a dual purpose machine. I would highly recommend sourcing pre recall front control arms if possible, they use smaller front bushings as originally intended (I believe 30mm vs 45mm) same result can be achieved using metal inserts, for bushings I went with poly from a company in Poland called StrongFlex, also running monotube Bilstein B14 suspension, locally fabricated rear camber arms with heim joints, standard 14mm drilled arb raising the effective stiffness rate for the price of a couple good 10mm drill bits, lowering is kept to a minimum for roll center, I could go on and on, but you get the idea. In the near future plan on taking the car out for a lap in Nordschleife

What’s your preferred method of data logging your Audi?

Hey! I think i might have the same problem but i am not sure. Is the sound you’ve heard something like an” electric motor on effort” kinda thing? Because that’s what i hear in mine, does it all the time, but worse when turning.

Raced against you guys a bunch in the wet.

As a car guy and Porsche hopeful, I really enjoyed your presentation and following your process. Nice work!

A very honest, sober yet inspiring "closer look" at this icon of automotive design - showcased by your lovely Mauritius blue example. Yes, it's not a bonafide sports car as you state, as it shares its underpinnings with some of its siblings, but isn't it just a sight to behold and a joy to drive? Yours just pops in Maurtius blue with its Aniseed yellow on black interior, and is in lovely condition. I feel the mk1 TT is a unique example of Bauhaus design and I can't imagine parting with mine any time soon - also a 2003, 225 that lives in Australia. Looking forward to more of your content.

Is this at apex?

This guy is going fast

VAG connectors are the worst… push, squeeze, pull, pray. I think the tensioner tab is made for a 13 or 14mm open end wrench.

Natasha is a great cohost.

Way to go guys! Looked like a fun time for a great cause.

Thank you for a great weekend. We have learned so much from everyone. Cannot wait until the next race!!!

love both keep them both

Awesome video mate, I am considering buying one of these cars and will no doubt be doing this at one point in the future, even as preventative maintenance when it's time for a clutch

When I bought my Hyundai Kona it came with 248 max range it's a 2020 so it was 2 years old when I bought it. I've had to fast charge almost all the time I'm down to 216 at 100% it is winter time now

So I have to own a house for my car to last a significant amount of time because I don't have 8 hours to sit in the parking lot so I can charge my car before work. I wish they would tell you this type shit before you buy one smh

Great video! I’m getting ready to swap 3.2L into my 99 2.5L and was going to service and check IMS while engine is out. This is fantastic video to guide me. Thank you

Great job on the Porsche !
