I need an automatic transmission project car, but can ChatGPT choose one my next project car? More importantly, can it help me make better (or less uninformed decisions) so I don't end up wasting money on unreliable cars.

    Have you tried to just roll in a new chain? We used to do it on the mercedes engines. You just cut the chain and splice in the new one and have someone hold tension on it while you turn the crank all the way around till you get all the old chain out and then connect the ends. We used to do this just with one valve cover off. I just got a cheap 955 turbo and hate to see you have problems.

    • @Project40Cars
      @Project40Cars 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That wasn’t an option presented to me, the front end had to come off for the chain to be replaced. A cheap 955 will cost you money somewhere, if you budget £5k in your first year for servicing. You might be lucky and not need it.

    I've had to deal with the coolant pipes. I got coolant everywhere. A year after it was fixed, at my expense as I wasn't original owner, the coolant rotted out the transmission seal. That was expensive. U joints are watch point. There are better aftermarket U-joints. If you're on the look out for a 955 look for rare off road package or Turbo S.

Ironically, I had just spontaneously upgraded from a 1.9 (non-supercharged!) to a 2.8 and had only a few weeks earlier had new roof fabric fitted at Jack Smiths in Swansea. I'm loving the car upgrade, it was definitely a good decision - even despite the hassle of changing the roof (your video was a big help). Hope you enjoy the 3.0, I look forward to more videos on it

    This takes me back to my HGT. I had it from 2001-2008 when I wrote it off driving like a loon. I did a few light mods, HID retrofit, coupe 16vt alloys refurbed in metallic black, Supersprint, induction kit and I ordered new from the dealers an Abarth kit. Looked very cool. Its only annoyance was it used to ‘tractor’ for the first few seconds when starting it in the morning so used to replace the variation too often. It just occurred to me the part number is (or was) 60666199 I think I did a replacement guide on puntosportsclub? Good to see this one though👍🏻

It was an interesting experiment (for me at least 😅) and I’ll likely continue to train the model to see what other recommendations it provides.

    • @Project40Cars
      @Project40Cars หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks, it was a my first try at a buyers guide 😁 It really depends on condition. The cars can do the mileage but I would focus on the service history. Making sure that there are lots of invoices that show the car has been taken care of. You can spend as little at £1500 on a Cayenne but that is dangerous price point imo. A 955 turbo will have less chance of bore score, but they are more expensive. Any of the versions will still be pricey to run. I’d budget at least £2k for servicing in the first year, up to £5k in some instances. I definitely want to own another Cayenne at some point as they are genuinely great cars, i just had bad luck with the one I picked.

    ​ The front lower control arms are almost "consumable" on the V6 Alfas of this vintage, mainly due to weight over the front wheels. Not especially expensive to replace, but they generally only last 4-5 years (50-60,000km). Change them, and you will notice the difference. But a good set of adjustable coilovers will make it an entirely different beast. Alternatively (I can't tell from the video if its already fitted) the factory "sport pack" suspension - which is basically just shorter firmer springs that lower ride height by 25mm - transforms handling in terms of roll and pitch with minimal impact on ride quality. All three of my 156s have had either the sport pack or coilovers and had almost no body roll, and would really stick in the corners, best handling FWDs I've ever driven. In comparison, the ones I've driven with "stock" springs and ride height roll like an old boat in a storm. Totally different.

    I think the problem was that you always smugly called it a "cryon". Never badmouth your car or airplane within 50 feet. You pissed her off and you are paying for it. Try making up a bad name for your SO and see how long before you are very, very sorry. And I'm still going to buy one. (Cayenne not a SO. I've given up on women. They cost more than old Cayennes). Edit. But I am sorry for your difficulties.

      The 955 series lives up to its reputation, it’s a great car when it’s working. If they were more loved/worth more then it would be tolerable. Do you have a specialist nearby?

    I have to disagree on the handling, definitely a soft car especially with the big sidewall tires but extremely capable and well balanced for its size. Alfa put a massive amount into making this their flagship and its by far the most sorted car on the platform. If you're lacking feedback from the steering I'd suggest there could be some tired components in the front end as the quick and direct rack is one of the high points.

    I love the car I own a 166 for 20 years with the same specs but differant colour mine is ´Nero Vulcano´ and will never sell it! in your video you showed the car key... for this version the orginal key is red and the steering wheel in your car is from the later version has something happend with the car that it has been changed.

      I had a hunch about the red key, but at least it came with two sets rather than just one. From research the steering wheel looks like the pre facelift wooden one?

      That would be epic! I think the FWD really hurt it against BMW/Mercedes. A premium car shouldn’t have torque steer.
