Thankyou James for another fab V8 Vantage video. 3 yrs ago, with much knowledge gained from yourself. I took the plunge on a 4.7 The best purchase I've ever made. Thank you James as without your vids I would never have been brave enough. Ooh.. Its also had the Bamford Rose clutch and power upgrade. What a machine! Problems in 3yrs .. a £6 oil pressure switch, and my rear light got water ingress as they all do. Thats it other than thourough servicing and petrol. Cheers James and keep up the stirling work 🙏🏻
Same here, but I do miss the manual a bit. Although when I tell people it's a '09 AM Vantage, they're shocked it's that old. Not many designs age quite as well.
@@bonwatcher I also have a 2009 late model 4.3 but it has had the twin plate clutch tightened flywheel, 200 cell cats, equal length headers with a remap to make it all work, brings the 380 to around that of a stock 4.7 but the engine spins up so well and pulls from much lower in the rev range. It's never going to trouble a Golf away from the lights as they and other modern stuff have auto boxes and launch but once moving it holds it's own.
@@user-qq2mo1ek2ryou'll be surprised how many people just do not care for pulling away at the lights. I love high-speed cruising, where you have to be comfortable at 190-220kph and keep that for an hour or so. Very few Golfs (or Mercedes B) will keep up.
When Mr Ford went to Le Mans in1966, he had run his "cooking" 7 litre Galaxy/Failane engine on a dyno, simulating endless laps of the race circuit for 48 hours, up and down the rev range, to try to ensure adequate reliability. That was equivalent to over 6000 hard miles. The engine was "safe" to 7000 rpm, but could not last much more than 40 hours, so was limited to 6200 rpm in the race. Happy schoool-days!
Jay, love the video. I have ALWAYS loved Aston’s for many reasons. Sounds like this was properly upgraded! Not sure I love the interior colour but that’s a relatively easy fix. I’ve recently been looking at Jaguar F-Types as a car that I’m going to buy within the next 6-9 months. I haven’t driven both, but in my mind, the F-Type is a lot like the Aston but quite a bit less expensive due to the higher depreciation. Both are ‘sexy’ cars. The Jag, with the V8 has a crazy amount of HP and noise. It seems like I can get the Jag for 50% less than a comparable Aston Martin and that’s where I’m leaning. Again, thanks for this video - great car and great sound!!
The Jag with it's V8 and supercharger is a much quicker car than the Aston, but it's not an Aston .... Just a Jag and aside from getting to 60 quicker it's no where near being the event that an Aston brings every time you drive it. Nice car though.
I think Duncan is a stand up guy. In today's culture of not keeping a car for a prolonged period, it's refreshing that he's done this. He's had this for 12years...so good for him. I am envious of not being able to do this to mine, but I can assure you that if I had the cash and, against all sensibility, I would throw 15k at the Gta without blinking. Only makes sense to me, but it only has to make sense to me 😊
The main problem with a heavily modified car like this and why I've never personally gotten into really pricey engine projects is that replacing the car then becomes so much more complicated and potentially costly. What happens if it gets seriously damaged or stolen? Maybe you can get an agreed value policy etc, but it's certainly another layer of fairly major complication.

If only Ford would pay as much attention to testing their gearboxes, and yet, as I say that, It has certainly come a very respectable distance from its old self. What a tremendous snarl.
All this Aston content and I’ve just agreed a sale on my manual roadster 😩 going to be a hard day seeing her go but it’s being swapped for something with a Ferrari engine 🙊👀
9:20 I‘m not sure if I understood it right but wouldn‘t taking material away from inside the head decrease the compression ration? Maybe someone could explain the maths to me? I think the cause of the increase lies in the before mentioned increase in bore and stroke. But please correct me, I‘m no native speaker and no trained mechanic, only a hobbyist. Thanks
The DBS wheels do look tasty on this one! But I'm not entirely sure about the spacers on the rear. Do they actually make any difference to the handling of the car or are just they for the visuals?
I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
You're not doing anything wrong, you just don't have the required skillset to profit off a down market, folks that are making profit in this market are pros and experts with in-depth knowledge and skillset.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
“Melissa Jean Taligdan’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé
Dangit, James, you haven't been helpful with my craving for Aston Martins. Sometimes I wish I lived in UK where second-hand Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 doesn't cost GBP130k.
Without meaning to be critical of an incredible marque and I do love many of their models but.. do all V8 Astons sound like they have a hole in their exhaust or am I imagining it?
I do enjoy your videos but maybe you should spend a lot more time with both hands on the steering wheel as opposed to gesticulating to the camera James. I'd definitely be apprehensive of approaching you to start a conversation just in case you had my eye out!!
Huge wheels and silly offsets / or spacers. Same old. Might still drive OK, but would drive miles better on smaller wheels that didn't stick six inches out of the wheel arches. All the effort people go to mod their cars and they always bolt on ruinous wheels because really it's all about looks.
For me personally Iv always quite liked AM for their exterior designs ….but could never get over the poor engines and even worse interior designs, look and feel .
Feels like Jay’s recycling the same 3 reviews. Ferrari, Aston, something slightly quirky but ultimately not that interesting. Rinse repeat. Always roving the same patch of road. Always the same basic format. You’re in a rut man!
Please ‘cool it’ Aston and Ferrari reviews. I subscribed you normal car reviews, and have enjoyed these. There are plenty of Aston Martin and Ferrari owner reviews on RUclips already - don’t think that you can add anything to these. I’m on cusp to unsubscribe you due to this after 4 years.
Please don't cool it 😂 if it's not a car I aspire to own I'm not interested. Plenty of boring reviews of dull cars online comparing a Ford Fiesta March 2018 and Ford Fiesta 2018 July. 😂 I know because I've made one 😂. All jokes aside just keeping making lots of content so you can continue to make content, I'll just watch what I wish to and not what I don't. Pretty easy really 🤷♂️
@@pendulum1997 entitled to what dude? My own opinion? I have followed Jay for years and just get turned-off constant Ferrari and Aston reviews. Others do this better than him here (long -term owners). Is this ok with you dude?
What a terrible car these "vantages". You can't make one type of layout into something else, just by messing with suspension. Jezz... They have to be RIGHT from group up, and day 0.
I’m not sure I understand your comment about how “cheap and unreliable it looks” - it doesn’t look cheap, and reliability has nothing to do with looks. And it’s not in fact unreliable

The V12 vantage is quite something. All around, in any situation. Japanese should copy it.
'tiger which french kissed a 3 phase outlet' 😂😂
I’ve owned 2 Astons currently a V8 4.7 Vantage S/Shift with 25k miles. I just love, it’s quite frankly just plain cool and fun.
No car quieter than them.
You're saying they're quiet...@@prosto_potomuwto

You must watch the movie "Demolition Man" to get the full experience of this video to understand the references. Splendid video.
You can really tell this Aston has been loved. What a beaut
Never tired of Vantages 😍
Well done Mr emm love the channel especially on aston martin
Currently having a 4.3 2006 110,000 mile example that still feels new.
Came for the modified Aston, stayed for the "tiger french-kissing a three-phase outlet", came away with a film recomendation.
Loving the demolition man references. I’d still love to know how those 3 seashells worked 😂
I was going mad trying to remember what film James was refering to. Thank you!
Take a look at this guy, he doesn't know how the three seashells work 😄
I thought the shells were in Judge Dread....
...but I was mistaken
You don’t know how the three shells work?!? 😂😂😂
I loved the intro pure V8 muscle. 👍👍
Oh…..Jay, I’ve just had a moment , and it’s only a Thursday evening….what a stunner…..Thankyou 👍👌🇮🇲⭐️

Thanks, James. Thoroughly enjoyed this. See you on Sunday morning.
Wow!
I wasn't expecting that exhaust.
I like the shirt matching the interior colour scheme. Outstanding; Really great video and very informative.
The amount of astons you have been reviewing, are you going to be the new 007? jay, a nice suit and a bond girl is my new dream movie
"The name's Martin. James Martin."
@@longtailgtno no, not the Saturday morning chef James Martin, the RUclips version.
I was sold at the exhaust note. 😮
That was music to my ears. 😊😅😊
Purple corduroy in a white Aston Martin, although not my style, works like a lucky charm.
I'd rather have a decent NA engine spec in a stunning Callum Vantage than the latest Merc Turbo in a trout-mouth.
Brilliant Episode!!!
I have to like just for all the Demolition Man references ^^ and the car is pretty epic as well !

Great video and amazing car. But what's with all the rust/oxidation under the hood?
I wondered how you going to work the seashells in
Brilliant video James as always love the Aston content . Would love you to a GT8 on the channel at some point.
If Carlsberg made an advert for man maths this would be it! Well done James :)
Beautiful car and sounds incredible ❤
Im early today for a treat. I hope one day I can own a car like this (not exactly an Aston, just a GT/sports car), but thats a song for the future.
X Generation Pommie males & Astons…who da thunk…great vlog.
Sounds amazing! The seats need leatherique for sure
Wouldn't you add to the head (or piston) to increase the compression ratio?
What can be better than the sound of a glorious V8 combined with Demolition Man references?!
Haha what old action film will you keep referencing for your next video?
I always was entertained by demolition man.
What a beast, I'm in love!
The ford coyote v8 from the outside seems to share a few similarities ..... Wonder why lol
“Too much of a good thing “. I only watch the Aston content !

Welcome to Jay Emm on Aston Martins and only Aston martins 😂😂😂😂
Sounds mean and obnoxious. I love it.
Interesting that it’s easy to tell when the owner does the drive by, compared to when James revs it out. Applies to all vids.
Very nice with open valves!
If only Ford would pay as much attention to testing their gearboxes, and yet, as I say that, It has certainly come a very respectable distance from its old self. What a tremendous snarl.
TY J! 🙏🙏
Sounds wonderful.
I love the sound and the power, but at 21k phew!
I wonder by the way how many viewers watch on the tv with the soundbar turned up or headphones.
All this Aston content and I’ve just agreed a sale on my manual roadster 😩 going to be a hard day seeing her go but it’s being swapped for something with a Ferrari engine 🙊👀
The Demolition Man burger... "Carne di Ratta!"
Ahh, Demolition man ❤

15:40 how long did you mull over before actually deciding to use that line? 🤔
What a ripper !!
Would love to see the new DB13 on the channel…mines…broken?🤣 love the vids at some stage Jay youll need to do a review in a James Bond tux 🤣
Would love to know if you think the experience of a GT8 justifies the price over an enhanced 4.3 Vantage like this one.

they ought to have left the factory like that to have given the 911 some competition
J the question for you is this...do you use the '3 seashells'...?
Dangit, James, you haven't been helpful with my craving for Aston Martins. Sometimes I wish I lived in UK where second-hand Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 doesn't cost GBP130k.
I'm actually on the fence between an Aston and a Maserati, tough choice really. This video hasn't made it easier, thanks for that Jay...
You won't regret the maserati. Because aston is wicked and weird.
So, are the plans, items to get this done, available in the USA?
Hi Jay, Can they do the same to a standard 4.7 Vantage and increase that engine to 5.0?
Give the more $$$ and they will.
Do they do something similar to the 4.7? That would be spicy
Yes, I have it done to my AM15 (4.7 GT) car. It’s totally worth it.
Great car.
What a good video
Nice.
His car His money but Vantage V12 would be my choice.
Would also retain value.
Oh man…I just saw in your video for the first time that the tachometer needle rotates counter clockwise…why, Aston Martin? WHYYYYY????
I love it! It makes the car unique! And when you spend time in an Aston, everything tach that goes the conventional way seems weird.
@@tommyfreckmann6857 ha glad to hear at least one person enjoys it. Friend’s 2019 BMW X5 has a “wrong way” tach and I hate it 😂
How good was demolition man
Without meaning to be critical of an incredible marque and I do love many of their models but.. do all V8 Astons sound like they have a hole in their exhaust or am I imagining it?
It's what happens when you put in sports cats and open the backbox. The 4.3L is really bad for it, the later ones have more cats so sound different
Not to be a pedant, but maybe you mean extra hole?
What?!?! You don't know how the 3 seashells work???🤣🤣🤣
I still don't know how they work either 😂😂😂
I do enjoy your videos but maybe you should spend a lot more time with both hands on the steering wheel as opposed to gesticulating to the camera James. I'd definitely be apprehensive of approaching you to start a conversation just in case you had my eye out!!
He now has the same problem I have, it's cost is now far greater than it's resale value... 🙄
Does he not know about the sea shells?
How would it stack up against an N420?..anyone?...or tell me why that's a stupid question..
paint already starting to bubble ?
Imagine being a grown man and not knowing how the three seashells work! Just embarassing. ;)
Note to self: if ever buying an aston martin, make sure to get the engine reworked.
Mate, if you take your car to bamford rose it’ll leave on fire 😂😉🔥.
Big job…
Some good detail within, but trying to emulate Jezza with unfunny similies is not the way.
Huge wheels and silly offsets / or spacers. Same old. Might still drive OK, but would drive miles better on smaller wheels that didn't stick six inches out of the wheel arches. All the effort people go to mod their cars and they always bolt on ruinous wheels because really it's all about looks.
Sadly, the kind of people that enjoy modifying cars usually have terrible taste when it comes to aesthetics
Of course just went to Autotrader, people want the asme money for Cygnets as V8's !!! WTF
Are you being serious when you say Demolition Man was a seminal movie ?
Surely you jest sir ?
I hope you stopped off for a rat burger on the way home😂
All of that and no ITBs??? Im mean.... Its great but why not swap a factory 4.7 in? Or just supercharge the factory 4.3?
For me personally Iv always quite liked AM for their exterior designs ….but could never get over the poor engines and even worse interior designs, look and feel .
No, sorry - your shirt is too distracting for the video. It's louder than the interior of the car and the exhaust note :P.
so wants to be top gear presenter
If only you’d get to the point
This gen of Aston will never not look good. Really dislike the massive fish mouth on the latest car
Over priced Kack.
