So cool! And note to mechanics everywhere…the wizard is getting business from all over the country because he knows what he’s doing and he’s HONEST! All the lying cheating dishonest mechanics might want to rethink their business model.
It's mostly because of his media exposure on hoovies channel.
Same for Eric O. at SMA.
It’s because he has exposure AND because he’s honest!
I’m from the uk and I’ve had pretty good luck with mechanics being honest, except once when I was told I needed all my brake discs replacing and they brought out this pair of brake discs that looked awful... I later thought to myself, I wonder if they keep those discs just to show to people to justify the work!
I wish I lived closer to the car Wizard.
Scam mechanic says: "Hmmmm, the leaky oil pan bolt/engine overhaul scam is seeing a decrease in business. I wonder if the local sideshow needs a 'carnival barker?'"
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.
yup! www.elephantracing.com/porsche/911/shock-absorbers-strut-inserts-for-911/
Yep, the Bilstein strut cartridges are replaceable and not $2k. Why you go to an aircooled specialist garage.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
11:31 I think that’s Scotty Kilmer’s garage!
I was waiting to see if anybody was going to make a Scotty Kilmer reference before I posted one :D
If Scotty had this car in his driveway to do the repairs on it he would just thank the customer for the business by posting a video about it and saying how stupid the customer is for owning this car , and then would start doing that crazy laugh while waving his arms around , and then he would say that he is going to recommend to the owner to trade the Porsche for a used Toyota Corolla , or maybe a '94 Toyota Celica .
Lol
I have to wonder if Scotty turns down cars
I think you are correct
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. They don't make them like this anymore. Thank you for sharing this amazing car with us, Car Wizard.
The 915 transmission was a work horse but not a pleasure to shift.
I love seeing the rarer cars inside and underneath. That’s something that the wizard has no one else does. Gives a detailed going over.
You're such a nice honest man, I wish there were more garage owners just like you!
That "front trunk pan" is the fuel tank. It looks like the filter is leaking too.
Front suspension pan and tank support.
Why are you replacing the oem AC unit when there are modern alternatives that work better?
@@mqnwest no it’s the bottom of the fuel tank , I have the same car.
@@simonhanlon7518 I understand that. I was referring to the suspension pan and tank support metal upon which the tank sits. Cheers!
@@mqnwest Ah sorry , I thought you were correcting the OP 👍🏻
“When it’s time to charge you we will, if we don’t, we won’t.” Gotta love the wizard. I wish you had a shop in Virginia.
I expected this to be a Yoda quote
@@maddog4390 "Pay only for necessary work, you will." -Empire Strikes Back
I'd be right behind you in line
I'm road tripping from VA to the Car Ninja in August. Nobody in this state knows their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to European cars. So I'm going to road trip 18 hours to have it fixed right. When I pay someone $7,200 to get rid of a cam and crank correlation code and they return my car to me with that code plus six additional ones, it's time to look out of state.
That would be perfect motto on building
It’d be nice if more shops were that decent
The 930 turbo became know as the "widow maker" because the car loved to spin out of control especially around corners, when the turbo kicked in, and all the weight in the rear wanted to be at the front. Absolutely love these cars especially with a red exterior and cream interior. Not so sure with the 3 tone interior of this one but boy they made a lot of dreams for boy racers.
Thanks for making my dad cry... he had that same model, exterior color, his was all black inside..... He sold it only 5 years ago for $30k.... if he just held on to it, it would have paid off his house today. WOW.
11:30 Scotty: "and I took that personally."
It is basically a Scotty. He provide a (poor) lip service that's all.
If I live on your side of the pond and need a car guy I would choose a Wizard not a Scotty for a job in less than a second.
Scotty doesn't really know much about cars, I would never take a car to Scotty unless I absolutely hated it. Wizard on the other hand, he knows his stuff. Scotty is a hack.
I love Porches, all models. Just a work of art. I wish Hoovie would add a 944 turbo to his collection.
944 T is the best handling car in existence
I ❤ the old Porsche turbo!
Hmmm. On my early 930 with Bilsteins I can replace the front shock cartridge. $175 each. They are listed for an 86 too. Not sure why the whole unit is changed out on this car... Thanks for showing us around Mr Wizard.
I'm not yet convinced Wizard is a Porsche specialist.
Am i the only one surprised to see a 930 Turbo that hasn't been used as a tree wrap ?
Crazy tail action when the Turbo kicks in. you either love them or hate them.
Elephant Racing sells strut inserts for less than $250 each for 930
Hello Joel, 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.
I love the Wizards vibe. He's not the cheapest, but he won't rip you off. You get what you pay for with mechanics.
Front 'trunk pan' is the bottom of the fuel tank - front spoiler is a RUF style and sills are also either RUF or as per installed on many factory special flatnose 930's. A dry-ice clean would bring the undeside back to 'new'. Have a safe and nice day. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA..
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.
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...
Yep...first thing I noticed. Same with 996, 997.991 all internal Porsche chassis designations for 911 models.
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.
Agreed. AND 930 and Turbo is redundant. All 930s are turbos
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.
These cars handle so well... Lol.
He's never pushed one really hard. A lot of the ones that were crashed, were crashed going backwards.
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
One of the finest cars on your channel to date... nothing like the sound of an air cooled Porsche.. Love these.
Loved this yes I’m from that era and run a silver 930 and, as they say, there is no such thing as a cheap Porsche. You clearly know what your doing well done and luvto see more on this car. Thank you.
I appreciate your no nonsense approach to your videos, and work ethic as well.
i love this format with mrs. wizard more involved! thanks.
Congratulations for booking out to August! You’ve earned that privilege to be busy. Your videos show how you guys respect cars and the customer.
Yes! I've been waiting to see this Porsche. 👍🏻
These are cars I love seeing other people own... love seeing them, would never ever want to own one, not even by accident.
Keep the Porsche content coming
Love it 😍
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!
Mechanics should wear body cams. 😉
that would really slow down the repairs... you'd have to reserve AT LEAST 2x the time, realistically.
@@HazewinDog but would make for some great content!
Ahhhh, one of my dream cars!
When they were new, maintenance was not cheap e.g. grand for annual maintenance, oil change and run the valves. Super reliable, fast and the howl. Worth it!
the "while I'm in there" will kill your pocket book on these.
Naah, what will kill you is if they have to go in again because they didn't do it while they were in there anyway.
That’s almost always is the gateway to Pandora’s Box 🤣🤣🤣.
You think you’re out, but they keep pulling you back in 🤣🤣🤣
True but it may save you money down the road. No pun intended.
@@Lumpygrits76 great Godfathers reference.
@@darkiee69 I have to agree. If I have the money I rather take a hit now during the original service than 6 months down the road. No pun intended.
Beautiful car
Mrs Wizard gave an awesome tour. very talented !
Always an enjoyable watch - I love Mr Wizards dry as a bone truthful informative persona. 👍👍
good episode, you guys. Congratulations on your ever increasing success. It's awesome to see those beautiful cars together being taken care of by a true enthusiast.
I worked for a guy that had a garage behind his house as big as his house. He had at least 25 cars at any given time I was there in that garage and in the yard. He had a red 930 that was made into a track car and had me start on returning it to a street car. I do not envy who ever was finishing that job.
Nothing more beautiful than an air cooled Porsche. Wish I would have bought one 20 years ago it would have been a good investment.
Pretty much my all time favourite car Wizard. Awesome piece of automotive history. Cheers
My dad had this car in black with tinted windows, it was awesome! 😍
Porsche offered so many great colours in the 80s, I never understood people who bought black, white or Guards Red models.
Here in the UK Porsche are Marmite cars, you either love them or you hate them. I never understood why people like them, just a faster version of a Volkswagen beetle with less room. This channel has done wonders for the Wizards reputation , gives owners confidence he knows what he is doing and you won't get ripped off like main dealers whom are commission to get the bill up. I can understand why his customer base is growing.
Nice! Yes, I loved these when they were new.
Great job on this you two!
I've had my 06 Audi TT for over 12 and a half years and had of a lot of work done on it over the years. I think you will see more and more customer shipping their cars to you because you are honest and your rates really aren't that high compared to some big cities. The other thing is I can tell in your heart you feel the customers pain when some of these parts in a car fail way way too soon and involve a lot of Labor to fix something that shouldn't fail so soon, lilen the actuators in the dash.
Also love the fact that Mrs. Wizard is involved.. really cool.
4:24 I thought he was gonna say: "So here we have a parts table of a lot of parts that are being tabled" 😅
Thank you Wizard for showing the strut-spindle situation on these. Further comment withheld. 🤔
Mre Wizard is in need of a sonic upgade Mr Wizard !
Now watching this video it reminds me of my '86 911 back then that I just could not drive it slow. I got into so much trouble driving fast that I had to sell it off so I did not get into more trouble! That car handles so well one of the best handing car I've ever driven! It was so tight and firm in high speed! I had taken it over 100 mph and got expensive speeding tickets! Wish I still have the car and if it needs work you're definitely the shop I go to!
Thanks for sharing this Guards Red 930 with us, Wizard. Truly that is an iconic car.
Guards red is red. This one's orange.
Sorry Weezard, these cars are not as fast as most modern vehicles. They were fast in their day, but it is long gone. I'm just saying. That turbo does feel good, and I love how they felt! I'll never forget my first time behind the wheel. It was epic. In it's day. 35+ years, and lots of technology ago.
They made ~280hp on a cool day.
@Mountain Man Dale I disagree. These cars are way more interesting than the copycat, plastic, SUV jellybeans everyone is making these days. All that METAL on a vehicle must be a total shock to your senses, not to mention the exposed engine that you're allowed to actually see and *horrors* actually WORK on. Don't like it? Don't watch.
you forget that most 80s sports cars werent all that fast
whoa whoa whoa - you can replace those Bilstein strut inserts! you don't need to replace the lower suspension components for a refresh!

Lovely car, really cool to see all these.
Following your example, purchased an ugly old heavy duty AV table for cheap. Most useful garage purchase this year! Never realized how a mobile work surface helps.
Always nice to see a gorgeous classy Porsche
It loons so similar to our 1990 911 that my dad bought new
tnx for the video
I used to work on those in the late 80’s and get to road test them. I don’t remember the front struts taking 3 hrs a side though.
Nope, and the cartridges can be replaced. He thinks he’s being honest … but of a stitch up there.
What a treat to see this beauty.
Keep em coming!
👍🏽
What a beautiful car ! Thanks for sharing. 👍🇦🇺
Sunday afternoon racing on TV, beer in hand, The Wizard on U tube, how good is life, thanks big fella for the walk around the 930 turbo, Rj in Oz
My word, my dream car. Useable but awesome. Good maintenance on that she's lasting forever. Not cheap to keep but proper work keeps this thing as the factory intended. The factory knows best with something like this, wizards shop is the same as factory.
Great vid wizard 😁👍
It's still a 911. 930 is just an internal Porsche number for the turbo of this generation. Just like 964, 993 and the 951 (944 turbo) etc.
Hello James, 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.
Rear seat=package shelf.
I think The wizard needs to open a second channel. Where he shows all the work being done. Keep it simple like this channel that's one thing I love about it. And I'm sure it will bring a lot of viewers.
I highly recommend to ditch the AC system altogether. It would not only save money to the owner but also make the car lighter by about 70lbs and even add some hp (no compressor to spin). I did that in my '84 Targa and it worked out great.
As for the struts, 930 has the same type of suspension as a regular 911 so you can definitely pull out the shock insets. I just did that with my car. Mine had green Bilsteins as well, there is a small pin at the bottom of the assembly that needs to be punched out and then the insert can be released. You can see that pin in the new assembly on the car already. Bilstein B6 inserts were about $200 each and use the same original strut assembly which beats the hell out of paying $1000 to replace the entire thing.
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.
Lol @11:30- Scotty Kilmers old garage in background of videos when he was still In Houston!
Thank you. Cool vehicle. Tip of the cap to the designer and mechanics who have fixed this classic.
Nice job again thanks
a friend decided to restore his old 911. a year or so later we had lunch with his wife and i asked her how the restoration was going. She said: "don't ask" and then said "don't ask how much he spent". fortunately for them, they have a lot of money.
old 911s are an investment. maybe she don't know ;)
Yes, they're an investment.
It helps you turn a large fortune into a small fortune
@@MrPaige222 haha investments do go that way sometimes
Well if it was his.. and he spent a lot to restore it.. he definitely will get his money back
@@augustinf
Yes, just not ALL of it
Hi Car Wizard!!! I just wanted to say that I think your wife is a great woman and a great video editor.
I want to tell you that I prefer that you do the whole video when talking about the cars in your video.
You have a very unique quality that nobody has. You are extremely relaxing to watch and listen to. I can not think of a single person that has the quality you have.
I like seeing Mrs. Car Wizard participate in the video, and I suspect the vast majority of the Car Wizard's viewers feel likewise. I hope she stays.
@@houseofno Wizard’s wife should start her own channel. Then everyone wins.
Such a very cool car!
Love ya Wizard!
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 ;-)
Wow.......my dream car.Thanks wizard
The analog Porsches where you can actually access the engine Bay unlike the modern ones where they treat you like a toddler.
Wow! Beautiful shape.
Great car, taken care of well during its life.
My favorite car ever 😍😍 Well that and a Murci SV.
I will always want a 930 😣😣
the ones for sale are either too expensive or need to be fully restored 😔😔
I'd rather have a new C4S. Much faster, much better handling and much more comfortable.
Lol Boots N Pants Geico commercial??
In Hoovie's latest video, he dropped a car off to the Wizard for service and two cars that were ready for him to drive home. He started out in the Cadillac with it's newly fixed A/C system. The refrigerant appeared to have leaked out and he had to turn around and take the car back. He then left in car number two in which the blower fan was broken. Hoovie seems to return more than a few cars to the Wizard that were 'fixed'. I like the Wizard and his crew well enough, but am not sure about the longevity of the repairs they perform, at least as far as Hoovie's fleet is concerned. In any case, the Wizard's shop is doing a booming business.
Sold my 912E when the rubber trim cost more than I paid for the car. Now I have a Thing, same sound but fewer race challenges.
Interesting to note the differences in the paint colours Trunk to wings etc...
Hello Bob, 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.
The kind of customers you want. They will not argue over high parts costs.
good stuff Wiz
7 to 8 grand to sort a 930 is basically a bargain considering what they go for and this is in amazing shape for being an Illinois car.
I have the same steering wheel in my Porsche.
Same color too.
...but mine isn't worth $100K
Me, too. Except mines black. ‘89 944.
Looks like Scotty Kilmer's garage @ 11:30
My dad has a 911 4s.. it’s older and on the highway probably get smoked. But on a back road. Haha it’s fun.. plus it makes such a noise.. can’t replicate that sound..
Drove a 930 once, the turbo lag hits a second if two after you rev it which means if your in a curve you better know what you are doing. No traction control. Love the fact that this car looks like it's been driven and enjoyed.
You go wizard I'm very happy for you and your family
Awesome car!
i can imagine being a customer of the wizard and seeing a video breakdown of the actual process would be very valuable and novel!
Looks massively like my 1/12 Tamiya Porsche 934 model that is still around somewhere back from the 1980s.
What a lovely vehicle.
Hello, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
Ty
In Lithuania those front shocks costs 500$ each
