Legend has it: The Car Wizard appears on high value stamps in Sweden.
Legend has it the car wizard can divide by zero.
Swedish man here. Ja, that is very true. Probably.
And Christian Von Koenigsegg has his number on speed-dial too!!!
@@stansmith4054 you used 'ja' for yes...I'm sold. You seem legit enough to me!
😂
@@markchip1 And they go to the same barber
Can I just say I'm join watching Danielson come out of his shell on camera. He's really started to show some personality
"LS swap?" "Nuh uh, bad wizard!"
"Honda swap?" "What're you thinking, it's been done!"
"Eco-boost?" "... hmm... interesting..."
Looks like Daniel-San's a fan of Ford v Ferrari!!!😁
Who cares
@@welshrarebit9238 fans of the channel? It's fun to virtually get to know people and develop a funny kind of fondness to people as a viewer. Anyway, you're getting ratioed so fk off?
@@welshrarebit9238 A lot of people probably didn't care. So you know what they did? They STFUed and moved on. Smart people.
Looking forward to the next instalment of the 308
“Bad wizard!” 😂 good to see you have employees looking out for you!
Mrs Wizard will be happy you fixed her car!
We need more videos with Danielson in them! He's really getting a lot more comfortable with the camera and i love how he presents himself. Professional and knows what he's talking about without sounding arrogant. :)
At least Danielson was a lot more comfortable on camera at first then say the wizard was, I remember the wizard having that dead stare into the camera in the beginning. 🤣
Danielson seems like he'd be a good teacher.
@@getchasome6230 He's an awesome guy
Danielson is a real asset to your company, can't wait to hear him explain how things get fixed in up coming videos.
The Porsche 928 has an easy clutch as well. You remove a plate from the bottom of the bellhousing, undo two bolts, and the driveshaft telescopes backwards. Then you undo three clutch bolts and the whole assembly drops down in your hands. An experienced mechanic can do a clutch job on one of these in about one hour.
Too bad that only about 15% of 928's were equipped with manual transmissions....
Great video!
Are the automatic transmissions on the 928 known to have issues or are they just hard to do regular maintenance on them?
My 928S was a manual and I wished it was an automatic. I did not care for the dog-leg shift pattern. It was a PITA going from one car to the other with different shift patterns. Plus, I'm tired of shifting now, probably all my future cars will be automatics anyway. If I could afford a vintage 911 I would get a manual, but a modern 911 would definitely have a PDK.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH all depends on where you drive and at what time. I have only manuals. But I don't have a rush hour commute. I totally despise the school dropoff lane (it's on a hill)

@@TheMentalblockrock and you could have spared us your puerile little comment.
David, great job hiring your two mechanics. Omega is fortunate to have the incredible young talent wrenching on the customer's vehicles.
Unlike some other channels ... the Wizard has kept this Farrari build informative and from a labor & price perspective honest for the viewers ...👍
I am sure you are happy to be on the road with the 308GTB again. You are very lucky to have Daniel on your team we are always amazed at the array of things he does he is a very knowledgeable mechanic. Also can't say enough about Mrs.Wizards video skills. We love the channel.
He's not on the road with it. It's still on the lift with no clutch.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH or is it??
My my. What a big torque tube you have, Mr Wizard.
Definitely packing.

Something of a miracle to get an old Ferrari running. Congratulations, Wizard
And Daniel son!
I think there’s more motivation to get your old Ferrari going than, say your old Volvo.
I remember my first two vehicles were stick shifts. I went through clutches like cheap bias ply tires. As soon as I turned 18 all of a sudden my clutches and tires started lasting A long time.........................amazing isn't it.lol. Live and learn.
"BAD Wizard!!"
That was some inspired improvisation, Dan!!
Opel/Vauxhall front wheel drive cars of the 1980's did an amazing piece of engineering on their vehicles to change the clutch without taking the transmission out. The fitted a cover in the bell housing that you would remove then press the clutch pedal whilst a 2nd person would put steel clips to hold the pressure plate closed. 6 or 8 bolts later clutch out in 10 minutes new one fitted, job done. :)
Also the mainshaft retracted so the clutch could drop. As I recall, only on the 4 speed though.
"No LS swap! Bad Wizard!" needs to go on a T-shirt with a picture of the Ferrari. That's an instant classic!
You just blew my mind, change a clutch without removing the trans!?!?! Cool shizle
Daniel-san is such a win for the wizardry... I love the ferrari, and i'm happy to see it screaming on the dyno again
Can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you call it a pressure plate. Years ago my parents took their manual trans hyundai elantra into the dealership to have the clutch replaced under warranty and my dad being curious wanted to see how bad the clutch disk was and the mechanic took him back in the shop to show him and called the pressure plate a "clutch cover"
A 55 amp alternator?
With the added fuel injection, I would advise you to try to shop a higher output Bosch unit that will fit. This can be done, but it takes a little research.
To use an Americanism.... Props to Daniel San! As a fully trained old school mechanic, I cannot get over Daniel San's attention to detail!Another Muricanism! Awesome young Dude! You struck GOLD there Dave having him on your team... and yet so young but with SSSSOOOOO much experience! No wonder you attract such good customers with guys like Daniel San ,Magic Mike and yourself Bad Wizard,lol
These 308 videos are my favourite. If you can, keep this one. The rest of your fleet can go😊
I’d still like to see some V12 chevelle
I remember 8 years ago when he got this car and starter working on the interior. I somehow went back on this channel in end of 2022 to find he is now working on the clutch. 👏🏻
Daniel son is an amazing man for sure. What a great expert to have in the Wizards shop.
A trip down memory lane for me! I had a 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS as a daily driver. It looks almost identical to the 308 except it was 3.2 liter, 4-valve with fuel injection from the factory. I could change the clutch and timing belts through the wheel wells in the 328 also. It was a practical car and it was my daily driver and I loved leaving it covered in dust and dirt - people got so upset.
Can’t wait to see a “first drive” on this when it’s done!
Not too sure if Wizard fits. Daniel son. ::yes
1:18 weeezard you knew what you were doing in this one
Glad you showed the old clutch next to the one. Unreal how worn out it is.
Love these projects D.Wize!
I love this car, so happy to see you both saving it and updating a few things as well. Bad Wizard, that was funny.
God this car is gorgeous, please don't just flip it once its fixed. Would love to see it loved, driven and cared for, for years to come
Check the expansion tank, the underside of the top goes rusty on the inside. They were hard to find & £7-900 when I was looking back in 2008, I`m sure they`d be more so on your side of the pond, a decade on.
I loved Daniel's response when Wizard makes a dumb suggestion, 'Wizard's dumb suggestion, Daniel: No Wizard, bad wizard'...
If you soak the old oil filter in paint remover, you'll find that it is a Fram, Bosch or Mahle with a different parts number from the Ferrari Filter. Found that out in 1983 by leaving a Ferrari filter in the parts washer. It was a Fram. Ferrari makes you pay for paint job with the horse.
The gear set for transferring power from the clutch to the transmission looks a bit like the setup in a quick change rear end.
Please reface the flywheel. A light skim will do wonders!
This is the story everywhere. "I have a great guy who does X.... but he is retired, so he only does work for friends and family now." Until people are willing to pay people for quality work, the old timers are going to time out, and nobody will be there to replace them.
It isn't just money. I also think fewer young people have an interest in learning these skills. I guess as we become old timers we had better find people to mentor so they can take over from us.
Wizard: It makes me so happy to see that you’ve found so much success, both with your business and in your RUclips/personal endeavors. Its been really fun watching along on the Ferrari and the yacht, looking forward to seeing this old gal back on the streets!
Daniel is the guy. I love watching the two of you working together
Love seeing you give credit to your amazing techs.
Nice Update on Mrs Wizard's car.😁
I'm sure you are aware of him, Scott at Ratarossa is a great source of Ferrari info and parts. He has worked with Samcrac and others. Maybe he can point you where to find the missing 308 parts. Good luck with the build. Who knows, you might need "his and hers" 308's with Mrs. Wizard. Enjoy the channel and keep it up.
Great to see progress on the ancient Italian machine - and great to see your employees having some camera time. Also - hope the other dude who left - soon finds a replacement. The BAD WIZARD phrase should be put on a T-shirt - along with the graphical wizard face from the intro - and a leaf of cannabis... in a Ferrari shield (instead of the horse). Here in Latvia I've seen two times stickers on old Volvos - yellow stickers formed like the ferrari shield - but instead, the text (in Ferrari font, of course) says VOLVORATI or something - and there're a moose - or an elk (god only knows the difference) instead of the prancing horse. So the final pitch for the T-shirt goes like this: Wizard's face from the intro - along with the huge glasses - in background, and in front of that - huge yellow Ferrari shield with a cannabis leaf inside - formed somewhat like a horse - and the text BAD WIZZARI in ferrari testarossa font underneath. Millions in profit in one week. Cease and desist letter from Ferrari in the next.
Since I didn't hear from Mrs. Wizard I want to say on her behalf that I can't wait for her to take her car out on its first test drive. :) Happy to see Daniel on camera, as well as the other staff. Wishing you continued success.
Been looking forward to this one Mr. & Mrs. Wizard!
Can't wait to see you and Mrs Wizard enjoy driving your Ferrari!
Thanks for posting.
So tempting just to slap everything together and just start driving. The project is almost there. Great work as always. !
Hey Dave. Nice work.
I had a early 80s Datsun 310 that also had an easy to change clutch. I as a complete amateur swapped the clutch in under 2 hours.
I have great appreciation for any man who can say, "no" to his boss!
At 8:00 the alternator is not charging, likely because the brushes and slip rings have motor oil on them. Degreasing might fix it. BUT, Don't squirt Brake Kleen in it while it's on the car running! Seems like a time/labor saver but it isn't. They don't make a flame throwing pinwheel effect everytime, but when they do it sucks. Not every lesson needs to be learned by experience.
To me that flywheel looks questionable. Looks like it's been used hard. At least get it resurfaced the clutch will work much better.
Great job, looking forward to test drives
Can't wait to see this back on the road, I hope you do a full detail on it and get it looking as good as it's going to run and drive.
Daniel, "Bad Wizard." Hilarious. Love the 308.
Love that you saved this beautiful car.❤
I can think back to how many clutches l have changed except for the last two clutches l had them done by a workshop but the clutch on your Ferrari 308 what a breeze do easy l was thinking of to make a clutch replacement easy and Ferrari did it l am impressed and if l see a Ferrari 308 driving around l will think to myself a very easy clutch to change
Sounds like your crew is very intelligent.... I have not had any Ferrari cars yet...but dam.. those folks where thinking when they built that engine... Cool
Cant wait for the dyno. I bet 255.4hp out there on a good tune, wonder how much of a difference will the injection offer, IMO it will contribute more to the torque at low revs an some midrange than to the max horsepower
Stanceworks is doing the K24/turbo swap along with a LOT of other work. Personally, I'd take one of the Focus RS engine/transmission combos for a swap... It's a completely modern engine that makes 350ish hp.
They’ve swapped parts already!
If the alternator is bad, you can DEFINITELY figure out a replacement which will be better for far less.
Looking forward to seeing the front lower valance/airdam repainted. Also, send the car to Van Go for a full paint detail as the final step in the project?
That airdam is not stock and should be replaced, IMO.
I'll betcha Mrs. Wizard's Smile Is getting Bigger & Bigger on this Restore. Lol I know mine Is. Thanks Again on This Little Cutie.
Daniel is a very handy ferrari mechanic to have in the shop.
Daniel, we're counting on you to keep the 'Bad Wizard' urges under control.
The 308 is my favorite Ferrari of all time. It may not be the best or fastest but it is so iconic and cool.
You really have gold in your hands with Daniel San wizzard!!
I think everybody wants to see more of Daniel in your vids. Nice to see the employees. He seems to be real tech.
This 308 GTB will be worth a hell of a lot more because of the mods done to make it more of a daily driver. A very nice car indeed. :)
I can't wait for this project to finish. We need more Danielson camera exposure.
Bad wizard, bad wizard, i'm sure Mrs Wizard was LMAOing while writing that !!
Maybe an easy job for Danielson the genius but I wouldn't even try to do those repairs on those complicated cars well done you two !
Mrs Wizard would like to see the back of this project so she can have her car to drive
Best automotive channel on youtube. Period.
Good post, CW. Great car. Your posts haven't popped up in quite awhile. Good to see you.
Awesome progress! I think I'm as thrilled as anyone else here to see that lovely 308 coming back to life. Much appreciation for sharing this and looking forward to the road tests! Good luck sharing with Mrs. Wizard thereafter. 😉
Thanks Wizard I learnt the 308 is not so bad to work on always liked them.
Daniel is doing a great job there, you should do more videos with him where he explains some of the Ferrari stuff :) can't wait to see this 308 running on the road. Oh please film the Dyno please
I can't stop laughing at that pic of you sitting on that driveline. Man that was funny😁. Keep up the great videos Wizard.
I bought a jeep 6 years ago that was declared a basket case, The compression was 170, the distributor was off a tooth and the timing chain was shot easy fix, on a 2,5 wrangler
The 308 is one of the best video series. Now the flywheel appears to have 2 large cracks on the face or are they just each a groove. So obviously it hasn't any cracks or you would have said so but it looked like it. I am just curious. Cheers.
Danielson is such a great addition to the shop. I wonder how he likes living in Wichita compared to Florida?
May I suggest - find a local high end detailer that will dry ice clean the undercarriage, wheel wells and engine bay for you on this car if you highlight their work on your channel. It's so exciting to see an older car look new again.
The picture with the clutch had me dead 😂
Love the 308 Wiz
Looking forward to the next instalment of the 308
If you do need a alternator wizard the best place I've found for all my ferrari parts is Superformance, I recently bought a F40 alternator that cost about £ 325 I'm in the UK but they will ship to the US, I think you can get a new 308 alternator for about 200 dollars plus shipping, just give them a try you won't be disappointed I buy all my supercar parts from them, very helpful and good company.
It’s interesting that before CAD CAM Ferrari was able to make a car that was better to maintain than the ones made with CAD CAM. I guess they just don’t give a damn about maintenance. Better for business to make a disposable car for rich people.
Glad it's coming together well.Great work Danial-san.Next is the "Maliguar"?
Thanks Wizard & Danialson......Shoe🇺🇸
Can't wait for that road test, Wiz
BAD WIZARD BAD WIZARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Daniel is my kinda guy! Very talented...
One of the recent best updates. I like the new style of this.
ACCESSABILITY on a ferrari who knew ? now we do . a really neat car to know intimately . a beautiful classic . keep up the good work ......THANX
The wizard looked happy in that pic, oh wait it's just a torque tube🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm falling more and more in love with this car.
Wonder how much this car will be worth when it's finally sorted? The engine will not be in its original state, and despite the fact it will be running well with (hopefully) reliable fuel injection and electronics, I have to think it will be worth less than a fully original, fully sorted vehicle. It really is a driver/keeper that the Wizard would likely never lose money on. Drive it, hammer it, maintain it, keep it.
That picture of David sitting on the transmission though 😉😏
Thanks for the information on getting the Engine working if possible on a Project car. 👍
The transmission has to come out??? Youz Nasty!
