His honesty sells me every time.
Me to if I was living in the USA I definitely bring my car to him and Eric and Ivan the whole lot of them there real honest mechanics that just get straight to the point
Neil Murphy I love his “buy this, not that segments.” Really could be a life saver.
@@operating ya me to he's the best because he actually goes through every single brand and tells you what the problems are so that even if you do buy it you know what to look out for
Bought my daily driver Civic based on his buy this not that segment
Of course he's honest. He's making videos, he has to be..
"if you want to re-paint a Ferrar's i fender you can use vice grips"!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂....that killed me Wizard!!!!
That was one of the most intense things iv heard from the Wizard!
@@Queitquail705 lol ya he was straight serious about that!!
The Car Wizard is a down right wholesome person.
Middle America as a whole. Some of the coastal trendies sometimes like to denigrate them, but they are gnerally good solid, wise people.
“I work for the wizard now.” Wow. What a great job!
Maybe the AC buttons can be found on an older Fiat or Lancia.
I'd bet that's exactly what they are. Cheap Fiat parts.
No chance man. Since the F355 Ferrari has been using (mostly) its own parts. The "parts bin" myth kind of died with the 348.
He's so cool for an American, no whooping or hollering. I like the mad Viking
My favorite Ferrari of all time! Affordable, timeless, curvy and such great value for a ferrari branded vehicle! Still relevant today, the 360 was beautiful and still is
This thing is an endless money pit you know that? Looks can be decieving.
@@az7378 I know that, but there are ways around expensive ownership... My father has a 99' 6 Speed Manual, black exterior w/ black & yellow interior; original owner. I drive it every once in awhile but it has sentimental value more than anything. It's actually not THAT expensive for what it is.
@@Liladelph Still is a money pit. Plus a V10 Viper is faster and more reliable than this Ferrari.
@@az7378 I can definitely see where you are coming from. I am actually more of a viper guy myself but considering my dad in his 60's, the 360 seems to fit him well.. haha. The pedals and cockpit are a bit small in the 360, especially for our size. On the other hand, I bet the viper has a more comfortable ride for longer periods of driving. One thing to remember is that the 360 isn't focused on power as much as it is a beautifully refined piece of machinery - like an expensive e36 or e46. Great sound, race appearance, nimble on its feet and aerodynamic with just enough to get you around the track. Passions are usually expensive no matter how you cut it.
@@az7378 you're poor lol
Love seeing the repairs on vehicles like this that we don't have the chance to work on ourselves. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing it go back together.
Shout out to Mrs. Wizard for the hydration break. Good looking out.
Mrs. Wizard is a submissive woman.
@@gregkarch4673 I said submissive not supportive. Plus don't call me bud when I don't fucking know you.
A Z your beyond disrespectful. Try to have positive things to say about others.
@@desertaliend_b9840 ... and is the cussing really necessary on a decent channel like this? 👎 Easily triggered obviously and missing some basic manners.
2H80vids when did I cuss? If saying disrespectful offensive then you need to rethink your perception of the English language.
Nice little strut tool.
Note: If you do use vise grips, point the handle inward. Otherwise, if it fails, the handle may get stuck between the hood and the fender. Damaging both.
The Car Wizard is singlehandedly bumping up the resale value of Ferrari's 360
There are hoses and lines he recently replaced in a year or less that already need replacing again. I think what car wizard likes most about these cars are the consistent $$$$$ they bring in.
@@jsun3117 He said the 2 he replaced were still perfect. The 1 that he didn't replace previously was now bad and needed replacing.
And Ratarossa, Seen through glass, Aldous Voyce, etc
I like your hand tool stance, as someone who's been charged two hours to remove a wheel stud, "Did you use a tire wrench or the biggest impact in your tool box? I may have a clue"
Here in the UK I have a '98 Fiat Punto Cabriolet. I changed the timing belt, tensioner, water pump, etc. in my driveway - the first time I'd ever done such a job - and that was surprisingly easy. Three years later, the engine still hasn't missed a beat.
5:25 the Italians love that square tubing.
Excited to see the repairs be done. I hear so many terrible stories about ownership costs for exotics. Cool to see you fix stuff rather than replace and also ship out when it doesn't make sense.
"I work for The Wizard now." What a sacred moment...
I love Wizard's calmness and analytical processes to car repair. Even the hop-ties don't seem to bother him. I'd bet he just thinks of his awesome boat and how all this makes that possible.
You are so right about the use of power tools. I hired a company to re do the head liner on my truck. They re-did the liner fine but when they re installed it someone obviously used a power drill because every hole in the plastic trim pieces was cracked. I was so f’n mad. If they simply used a hand Phillips screwdriver they’d have felt the proper tightening level and eased off. Maybe ten more minutes of work. Now I hate leaving my vehicle with anyone because you never know what they’re going to screw up and hide.
This helped me as I have had the same problem with my car and the dealership that we take it too for service and repair have apparently fixed it once every year.
Finally told them that it could be the evaporator core so replace it and bingo the AC runs like a dream finally. Cheers wizard.
I'd love to see the steering rack being reconditioned 😚
I really enjoy your repair videos on these many various makes & models, your calm & methodical commentary on your work is delightful & informative. Thanks for bringing your opinions & personal passionate workmanship to YT, your channel has become among my favorite car channels to date my friend!
one of the better youtubers WRT explanations. clear and precise. indicative, IME, of someone that possesses a profound knowledge of his or her craft. bravo.
this guy is really likeable. And seems to know his stuff. Especially when talking about cars I'll never own as well
"What repair surprised you that it was actually super easy?" Thought replacing a few of the battery cells in a second gen Prius would be more involved. Turns out it wasn't hard at all. Took longer to do a voltage drop test on each cell than the actual disassemble and reinstall. Another 'fix' was actually a quick hack. Didn't want to remove the entire upper intake to replace one knock sensor on my '03 GMC Yukon 5.3 liter. So, cut the wire from the bad one and spliced it into the good one. Worked out great! The check engine light is no longer on and there has been no knocking or pinging.

Cursing rants while trying to get a car fixed 😂😂 . Brings memories of my dad
This is the guy you want working on your car, all the know how and genuine honest integrity. always a win for the customer.
Love your shirt wizard, didn't expect you to be a metallica fan!! Keep up the great videos :)
That is an engine compartment, not a luggage storage space. AKA not a Trunk or Frunk. Love that car!
You need a T shirt that says “I work for the Wizard” 💨💨🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️
no no no, he wont be selling many of them.. .he needs "I wanna work for the wizard" merch
Years ago I had an 1991 NSX and a friend brought over his 1996 Lotus Esprit. Short story; the Lotus "looked" like a James Bond car on the outside, but under its skin it was worse than a 1988 Ford Escort. The Acura was like it was built in another Universe compared to the Lotus. Ferarri isn't that bad, but I learned that "Exotic Cars" are really "Exotic Engines"; everything else is typically less sophisticated than you'd find in a family SUV. Some of the reason for this is the mechanical "feel" of driving is what people pay $250K for; technology that isolates them from that is forbidden in an exotic. The other reason is these boutique manufacturers simply don't have the resources to be "exotic" in everything; they'll put fuel pumps you'd find in a Kia in if it meets their needs. Keep up the good work Wiz!
I’m in the market for one of these and I’m comfortable working on cars. Hearing this information makes me feel good about potentially working on it on my own. Looking forward to more videos on this car.
I gotta get back to my native Kansas, been stuck in Virginia too long...
I have reached an agreement on price with a potential buyer for my 2003, 360 Spider, 3 pedal car and following PPI, expect to sell the car next week. A sad time for me, but I have recently suffered paralysis in my legs, so I can no longer drive it. I wholeheartedly agree with you that Ferrari flat plane V8’s are the best sounding cars ever made. Especially, when they have the sport exhaust. Having the muffler bypass valves open up, with the engine turning 7,000 or 8,000 RPM, is a religious experience.
Thanks, both of you, for taking the time to make a video... in that heat.
When you're working on a car like that take your time and enjoy the craftsmanship.
I can definitely agree there they are pretty much drivable art but for some of these parts what makes them cost so much?? 12 thousand dollars for a steering rack?? What's in those things freekn diamond fluid or something?? Lol
@@BANANAHAMMER420 During the years of production there was only 8800 built. It's not a one off, but it ain't exactly mass produced either.
Legend has it wizard has a forge in back of the shop where he gets all his epic parts
If you can find one still running in the US, try the sound of the AJP V8 TVR flat plane engine as used in the Cerbera.
Happy to see that this Ferrari isn't a total nightmare to take apart.
who do you use to rebuild the steering rack? would love to know for my reference
This is actually my favorite mid-engine V8 Ferrari. Just a sucker for the lines on this car, plus the gated manual shifter. That being said I'd have a hard time refusing a 458 Italia if they were the same price and you asked me to choose lol.
Fix em All
Ride the Ford F-150 Lightning
Master of Muppets (that would be Hoovie)
I'd think Hoovie would end up being Damage Inc.
And justice for Warturtle

I used to work at a performance shop ... one thing I learned was the more expensive the car, the more expensive the replacement parts. And if you don't wanna buy the replacement parts, don't break things. I remember one instance where somebody put a hole in the seat of an RX 7 - what made me so mad about that was nobody took ownership of the damage they did.
Hey Wizard, next video on this car can you talk about the cost of ownership on one of these? They're relatively affordable as far as a "dream car" goes, so I was thinking about getting one someday
Lower your dream car standards to a Honda Civic and you'll be golden.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Got one of those already my guy
I've wanted one since they came out, I'm now 39 and can afford one and the maint. I'd like some more info from wizard about the signs to look for when buying. I read a ton of stuff but I'd trust him a lot more than your everyday dickweed in a online forum.
Frayed ends of sanity... hear them calling Hoovieeee.
You know what's nicer than this Ferrari? The Wizards Yacht!
Great video. I just picked up a 360 that needs some help so it’s nice to see this one taken somewhat apart. Wish mine was gated like this car but I feel fortunate enough to have one period so I won’t complain 😀
Magic Mike helped!? Haha! Awesome.
I want a Ferrari just so I can have the Car Wizard service it. The car itself would just be a bonus.
I really think you should do a series by which you perform the same task on an example of maybe 4 or 5 different cars. For example a steering rack on a Ferrari 360, Toyota Camry, minivan, truck, Honda Civic ? Be pretty interesting I think.
What are the odds that 4-5 customers all need the same service done within a close period of time?
Good dude! I enjoy his channel. Mrs. Wizard is a real gem as well. Life partners at their best.
Been a mechanic for years and i didn't know there was a specific locking device for broken hood struts. When a BMW or Lexus rolls in, 90% of the time the hood strut doesn't work on those cars
Not sure about the Lexus but there's a good chance the bmw struts see worn out purely from over use. Maybe the Lexus is from lack of use and o-ring failure. The BMW's get plenty of exercise though.
car wizard is a damn good dude
I had problems with buttons not springing back on a car (certainly wasn’t a Fezza!). Microswitches on the board, behind the buttons, just old and lost their spring. Took the circuit board to a mobile phone and computer repair shop. Fitted new switches to the board and the buttons worked fine. New packs not available and a lot cheaper than a used switch pack that likely would end up with the same problems down the road.
Thank you mr and mrs wizard
Are Ferrari 360s really that trashy? I know people say they are unreliable but really how bad can one of those be? My theory is - they have pretty average reliability but whenever something goes wrong the owners go nuts because it's not cheap to repair. And they learn to think of this car as a money pit because of how annoyin those regular expenses can be.
Beautiful car! 😍
Great video I love all the small details. This is why I follow. Everyone on RUclips only goes for big wow factor. That’s not really wrenching. Wrenching is the all the little Delicate bits and small details. Good job 👍🏻 go shockers
Mike sounds like a great guy! Hope he will learn alot from you.
The blue, the gated manual, that engine, I am in love. Where can I buy this one? He needs a different car.
This was my dream car for alot of my life. I just thought beautiful and actually simple in its category. If I were a wealthy man it'd be my hobby in garage for years. My harley is the same slow work and detail but zen like relaxing. Thank you for showing it!
Very nice looking Ferrari and being a gated manual so much nicer for the purist. 12K steering rack though that is rediculously expensive
Is that a Blue Pozzi car? That is a rare color on the V8 mid-engined models, beautiful!
1993 Toyota Celica. First car I did not have to elevate in order to complete her oil & filter change. And the old oil filter never makes a mess. A-1 design.
1979 Buick Riviera. Could change the alternator "hurriedly" in 5 minutes. That was to make for the Riviera's terrible oil filter location. 😡😄
I transferred my 1980 TR7 engine into a ‘76 California donor body with no rust and didn’t notice the steering wheel splines were loose. As I was driving home and entering a construction zone I slowed down and turned the wheel away from the workers with no response. Fortunately I wasn’t going fast and stopped with plenty of distance to spare.
If you’d like to repaint a Ferraris fender 😂 I love his sarcasm
Really like the navy paint instead of the usual red or yellow.
Personally I think Italian Sports cars should only be available in
Red
Black
White
Cheers from Brazil!
i think the colour of this Ferrari is Blu Scozia... the other day i saw a 812 GTS in the same dark blue...stunning !!
Posi Blue
@@CarWizard Thanks for the info Wizard! They are very similar colours! greetings from Modena, Italy ;-)
A properly engineered product comes apart just as easily as it goes back together. Work on a 1990s rover, things literally need hefting into place. That is not good, proper stuff is obvious when it's front of you. Nicely done wizard, you are right on the money.
I think it's time that your shop start to shine like the cars you are working on. How about epoxy Flooring like Tavarish, skylights in the roof and white/light grey walls? It would make a huge difference. Also, with more light, work is gonna be better....
Sounds like $100,000 to me. 13,000 sq ft is alot
@@CarWizard Yeah, I can imagine that. One thing at a time....
It's kind of weird seeing the inside of the Wizard's shop so many times- it's almost like home it gets so familiar.
Check climate controls switches for hairline cracks up close, Lancia delta integrale do the same thing. Can be glued , they switch on off fine after that, not sure on 360s.
That 360 Modena looks great as a flying car. I look forward to when Ferrari makes Ground Effects Vehicles!
This channel is sick. Subbed
Hmm...that strut block could have been handy with my old truck instead of keeping the rear window up with a plank of wood wedged between the body and glass.
The Ferrari is easier to work on than BMW's. That's bananas!
I hope u have fans in the shop now, in my job we got huge fans they like 10 feet in length
I believe 2009 was the last year Ferrari offered a real manual transmission on any of their cars. It was a sad day in the automotive world. And their powdercoated red intake manifolds are about the most beautiful piece of artwork I've ever seen. I'd take one off a junk Ferrari just to hang in my living room as art if I could.
I got to drive a 458 on the track last year at SpeedVegas. That was a bucket list checkoff no question. Yes, it did have the flappy paddles and I am a true manual guy (I have a 2019 Camaro SS 6 speed) but to be able to take a Ferrari up to 140 on a track is something every gearhead should do once in their life, flappy paddles or not.
IMO the evap hoses are breaking down because of the ethanol in the fuel. The rubber isn't the right type to resist the ethanol.
Mowing the lawn as I listen..
Does Mrs Wizard have a sister who's single? '67 MB gated shifter..😍
360 Mod Na? 🤔. I would have remembered it to be Modena. But what do I know. He's the wizard.
Sir
Would it be possible for you to stick a camera on a tripod and on time lapse when Mrs Wizard isn’t available? You tease us with how easy it was to work on the 360, would have been great to see it.
UKSalavgeRebuilds do a fine job utilising time lapse and it’s highly watchable.
What you describe wouldn’t been great content.
Good on ya Wizard
Good so see a guy that just wants to bring a Ferrari back to it's original condition. Leave crazy alone.
I love watching these videos, after driving a couple of Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, they are cool to admire, BUT just not worth the cost of ownership.
“Worth” is a subjective term. My Ferrari has been worth every penny to me.
You rock Wizard! Love Matellica!
Matellica is the coverband of Metallica? 😉
One of our coffee pots had a lid gasket that oozed sticky goo like that. I asked a co-worker what he thought might be the cause. He asked "Where was it made?" I told him, "Italy." He replied, "Revenge."
i wanna work for the car wizard
Bought one of those to use on Grand Caravan rear hatch. Hope to get new struts. Thanksfor the tip.
Are the evap hoses: ethanol + heat + time allergic ?
You forgot to add, made in Italy....
Funny I was thinking exactly the same thing, I run nothing but ethanol free in everything except my little box on wheels SUV I drive daily, and if I owned a car like this I'd go out of my way to fill it with ethanol free gas!
The 360 was the first Ferrari I ever saw in the wild. My 16 year old self probably looking ridiculous, running across a park to snap a photo or two or maybe dozen of the bright red Ferrari.
When the wizard was showing the interior and the door was close to the bend pack frame I was getting nervous the door may want to pop full open and hit the post.
He sleeps with a flashlight under his pillow!! The James Bond of automotive you tube!!!
Don't see that in my 98 Firebird Formula LS1 6spd either,could wipe the floor with that meatball
Car Wizard, I have seen head light haze wiped away using Walmart Deet 40 mosquito spray. Then just wiped off with a clean rag. Seen on RUclips Shorts.
Not as amazing as Kia Rondo fuel pumps matching exactly a Ferrari.
Is the DEET method real?
1999 and how many km’s does it have?? Already had to change out hoses and rebuild the steering rack?! 😲
Don’t get me wrong. I love Ferrari. I couldn’t bring myself to owning 1. The maintenance would be killer. Go broke trying to keep it on the road. I’ll stick to my rotary. 😉😎
Very good advice wiz
Thanks enjoyed this very much from a old Mechanic from 1968
Ferrari & Metallica, it doesn't get any better than that 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
I've never seen so many flexible pipes in a car. Is it small wonder they burst into flames. I thought the short high pressure fuel lines on my Alfa V6 were a worry at times. They have been known to cause fires when they go porous.
That is a very beautiful car. I love the fact that you can get the rack out so easily. Just try that on a Ford Escape!
