So here's the deal with the "get the Wizard a microphone" comments. After a few years of trial and error on sound recording, I no longer trust wireless microphones. Since I don't have someone behind the camera, or a sound guy listening for issues, there's too much risk of a video getting ruined by audio issues-- which has happened so many times in the past. Currently I put a sound recorder in my pocket that's wired directly to the microphone. It takes longer to edit this way, but the difficulty would go up by over 9000 if I had to jump back and forth syncing and editing between 2 microphones. So when I film with the wizard, I try and stay close to him, and I turn up the sound level to MAX when he speaks. It doesn't help that he's also pretty soft spoken. I'm sorry, but this is as good as it's going to get without someone helping me film, and the cost and effort of that is NOT worth it. Also, I didn't actually mean to hang up on him, as I thought the conversation was over-- and called him back after I finished the video. I love that man!
Audio takes effort to get good, it is also the most important aspect when it comes to quality. Investing in proper equipment is well worth it. Get advice from a professional.
Bahahaha i can hardly believe it!! In the last episode with the inferno it leaked oil then the mechanics call it safe just before it burns to the ground and a not a few episodes later another inferno leaks oil and the mechanics call it safe to drive! Bahahaha AWESOME!!
I think one day the veyron will be more expensive than the chiron because the veyron was their first car (yes, i know the EB110 and all oldtimers) of this kind of 'hypercar'-line, the chiron is the successor and this will go on and on...
no shit, I was NOT surprised to see all the empty bays when Hoovie pulled in....but wasn't surprised to see another of hoovie's cars in one of the other bays.....frankly though I bet he's not paying much more for that shop over the other.....
@@karmajefferson5573 Propylene glycol antifreeze isn't as much, ethylene glycol will straight up kill you. You shouldn't be ingesting either, small amounts or otherwise.
Coker tires makes and sells the metric tires for the original wheels… that means new ones are still available. Also they use modern rubber so the tires look like the originals but preform much better. Or just get a set of 16” factory knock off wheels.
I agree...dunno whether its the colour, but it just doesn't look as nice as I remember them, and I live near a dealer. Take for instance the one on Harry's channel...it looks wide at the back in red th-cam.com/video/1XlPUQjmJyk/w-d-xo.html
Someone is just jealous because someone else is driving around their clean white Ferrari 😉 Just joking man love the channel. Get that damn Ferrari out of the body shop. I can't wait to see it with the bumpers on.
"TRX Tyres In the 1980s BMW fitted tyres known as TRX to some higher performance models. TRX were advanced for their time and used a special design of wheel and tyre lip to hook the tyre to the rim for improved high stress cornering performance. To avoid the dangers of fitting normal tyres to a TRX rim they were all made in metric sizes which only a TRX tyre would fit. Only Ferrari, Jaguar and a few other manufacturers used TRX TR means "Tension Repartie" (spread tension). Michelin's design called for a shallower rim that allowed freer movement of the tire sidewalls under compression but provided a progressively increasing lateral stiffness during cornering. This was thought to be a boon for the high-end luxury-sporty car market as it in theory would allow for a more comfortable ride without sacrificing cornering ability through controlling the slip-angle with sidewall stiffness. In essence BMW thought they were providing the ride quality of a 70-series tire with the handling benefits of a 60-series profile. Modern tyres have better tread patterns and rubber compounds than TRX. TRX are also quite expensive and harder to get hold off than modern tyres. When the TRXs on my 635CSi wore out I bought and refurbished some used 15" cross spoke alloys and bought modern tyres. TRX tyres may be spotted by a designation of 220/55VR390 or 415 on the tyre sidewall." www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/bmw_wheels.html To answer, i don't think.
@@michaelovitch Yes, the seller explains this in the first video. But according to wiki, the change to 16" rims was done allready during model year 1986 and this is a 1988 car. So either wiki is wrong, or this car was for some reason delivered (or retro fitted) with the earlier oem wheels. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Testarossa
It's literally hotter in Kansas then it is in Florida. I've been to Florida plenty of times there's actually air there. It's humid ass shit and hot corn fields everywhere here
smokeyjo123e If you live in the Wichita or Kansas City area it’s not terribly uncommon to see cars like this but I agree that out in western Kansas it would look terribly out of place.
Just wanted to say I appreciate the extra effort you go to with your videos. The VHS tape type intro vibe, the Miami Vice getup, the music. It's all really entertaining and adds something extra to your videos :) - Similarly with the Rolls Royce with the getup you had on there and the mustard, very funny.
Keep in mind he is making entertaining videos and writing about his exploits. If everything went to plan it wouldn't be worth watching or reading his column at Autotrader.
I guess the nice blue Corvette had to go because there was no suitable TH-cam drama to be made from it. On the other hand, a 30 year old car that needs an engine-out service every three years should offer limitless potential for hilarity and viewer witticisms.
I owned a Testtrossa in 1992, and even THEN the car had to warm up before it found a good idle. So, that is NOT a flaw, it is a design element. Also, in 1992, the 12,000 mile service cost me $12,000. So, if it is $8k today, be happy.
Sounds Italian alright, designed to run in warm to moderate climate. I'd take Jay Leno's advice of letting it warm up until the temp gauges moves off the peg before pulling away.
They still make the corrections for the original wheels. BF Goodrich has a set of ultra high performance summer tires. Go on tire rack. Also coker sells a set for the car as well. Get rid of those wheels on it now. They look terrible.
I wonder if the local cops think they have a drug dealer in town LOL. Exotic cars, Rolls Royce, “Excuse me sir we need to search your car as it closely resembles another Ferrari involved here locally in a heist tonight.” Yay, right!!
@@badapple65 I'm imagining some detective tailing Hoovie back to his garage thinking it's like a drug den or something, peeks in the window and all he sees is a bunch of finnicky exotic cars and an old Buick 🤣
The nightmares of having more than one car: Waking up in the middle of the night, suddenly realizing that some of your cars haven't been moved or maintained in ages. And have flat batteries. And flat tires. And rusty brakes. And need an oil change. And a new timing belt. No wonder rich people buy new cars all the time.
LOL, I used to do repairs on VCRs (back in the 80s in fact) and I remember how the four-head VCR was indeed higher quality, etc. - so funny to hark back to something that I hadn't thought about for quite a few years :-)
Love your content bro! Honestly, newer supercars like Lambo SVJs, AMG GTRs, Mclarens... aren't as interesting to watch. Actually, it gets tiring since all TH-camrs focus on new super cars only and they lease huracans. Keep it up 💪👌👏
Hoovie, This is amazing stuff. I love seeing the Testarossa. It's an absolute dream car. Just pls don't forget the Rolls and Land Cruiser updates. We know you get a tonne of clicks from new cars but your viewer base really appreciates updates on the cars you had for a bit longer.
2:21. I'll bet the Testarossa uses a Bosch starter. Exact same noise my Mark 4 Jetta used to make during start up. After you let go of the key, the spring in the starter motor can't retract the pinion fast enough so the flywheel is spinning the pinion momentarily. The solution is to disassemble the starter and clean and lubricate the mechanism that retracts the pinion. I hope you don't have to drop the engine to remove the starter!
I'll be disappointed if we don't get a Cannonballrun-esque montage with both cars in the next few videos, altho I suppose it should really be with a Countach :)
@@TigreJoe1994 Nah, sounds like what Crockett would do (although the old Ferrari Daytona was replaced by the Testarossa which was brand new at the time)
I've hidden weed under the rear seat of my sedan and it fooled a drug dog, almost nobody knows you can lift them up with enough strength. Plastic trim panels are convineint too
The wizard is the best man to deliver bad news, hardly sounds costly or devastating at all dropping the engine out to fix a few leaks. Voice of an angel.
I had one of those big brick cell phones with the thick rubber antennas! I was a Pepsi guy Back then and wore it on my belt, First guy I knew that had one at .40 cents per minute! All the other Pepsi drivers gave me crap for the cell phone, asked why I needed it. Accused me of thinking I was cool (as I did) ...But, within 2-3 months EVERY Co-worker was walking around with their very cool brick phones! Obvious they thought I WAS cool, right?
Don't worry I think you're cool Greg! It's crazy to think that not that long ago how big cell phones were and how much they cost to use, even landlines cost extra for long distance calling, now you can get unlimited nationwide cell phone plans for $30/mo (with a little bit of data). I think we are starting to reach a peak where smartphones are now, the specs keep increasing but there hasn't been any huge innovations over the past few years. I really wonder what the next big life changing invention will be, something like a computer or smartphone.
I love how the car wizard just straight up tastes a fluid from a car engine, identifies it as anti freeze, and Hoovies main concern is where is it leaking from😂
Awesome car I must admit. Your vids are getting better and better! It's great that you have a seperate car filming the driving scenes and the car in action.
TBH that is one of the most beautiful Ferrari's made in history IMO the tail lights, the rims, the rear end, those ride streaks, just stunning. I can't wait for you to make it to a million subs. You're my favorite automotive youtuber!
I was just about to say, "since you've got a rolls and a Ferrari, maybe you can afford a second mic.", but after your call with the Wizard, it looks like we're just going to continue to get videos where all we can hear is you. ;) But seriously, sweet ride, congrats on the success of your channel and hope to run in to you some time in KS.
Awesome buy! Could definitely be worse. I'd do the oil and transmission leaks first, since they're both easy, and tackle the coolant leak when it gets worse. Provided the car is staying cool as is.
Lol Americans have a hard time with it? Hardly. Just people who never had the requirement to use it. Any american in the military, law enforcement, software industry, aviation (and so much more) are very used to 24 hour time.
If you want to see under a low car when you're looking at it, I suggest buying one of those bendy cameras for your phone, if you're in a hurry a mirror from the dollar store will also work. Obviously it'll never be as good as having it on a lift or jack stands but it can definitely help spot potential issues or trouble areas.
I'm not sure when I saw it on one of your videos but wizard had mentioned tooth wear from holding his flashlight in his teeth, I have had similar issues while doing this with my projects and my simple solution to still being able to do it is get a appropriate size shrink tube and cut it to size and apply to the flashlight. It's cheap, easy, protects the teeth and can be replaced for a new one as they wear down. Small flashlights are easy to carry around and headlamps don't always work for the situation. Just a recommendation! I enjoy the channel, wish I could go through cars like you do ha!
I own a 6 cylinder motorcycle with similar problems. Hard to start, horrible when cold. Sent the bike off to the doctors to replace the OEM coils which never had enough voltage even when new.. . Fatter spark is needed.
Where'd you find the 80's Dodge Diplomat cop car???? Might actually be more Tesstorrossas on the road than those at this point in time. And secret confession time, I've always wanted one of those Diplomats/Fury, yank the crap emissions controlled 318 and put a built 440 big block under the hood. Its just one of those weird/quirky cars that were everywhere at a certain time but are now all gone and forgotten.
Chrysler 5th Ave I think. Or maybe a New Yorker, all the domestics got all willy nilly with their names when they switched over to FWD yet still made the old RWD car. Its the luxury Chrysler version of the 80's Dodge Diplomat patrol car, has more chrome, vinyl roof, pillow top seats, power everything, soft suspension, etc.
When I saw that tiny coolant leak I thought the same thing as his mechanic: Leave it alone until it gets bad. A tiny amount of weepage is normal, this is why these weep holes exist on every car.
That's precautionary because the belt is pretty long and if it slips a cog due to a little wear or breaks your looking at a junk engine. Probably 100k for a new one.
The white Testarossa shown in Miami Vice was the greatest looking car of all time. That paired with its sound and iconic-ness makes it my favorite car even tho I’m 16 with no posters of it in my room (yet)
The "idle hunting" could be caused by the extra warm up injectors if your car is equipped with the K-Jetronic system. A non conventional way of solving this problem is very simple: disconnect their connectors! We just finished restoring our Ferrari with a similar setup and changing the distributor caps plus spark plug wires further reduced, excessive exhaust smell included. Once you have the engine out just replace all the fuel lines if they are the original ones. Those braided lines may look good from outside but will probably be dry and rotten on the inside, especially if the previous owner barely drove the car. The same can be said about both the fuel pump and the fuel accumulator. Please let me know if you need any help, i spent over a year figuring most of this stuff out and I wouldn't mind passing on the information i accumulated with you if it helps you save some time and headaches!
I love that all my friends thought I was crazy with the whole taste it line of thought. If it tastes like antifreeze then it's antifreeze! If it tastes like oil, it's oil! My grandpa taught me that!

He is a fucking wizard. Wizards are immortal.
You should be investigating that shop owner for having *CARS FROM THE FUTURE* in his parking lot! 😂😂
He is a wizard after all haha
Loved the little intro story!, Reminds me of the "call a paramedic" thing with niks wallet in project binky
Is bothered by the noise of a lawn mower. Starts a 12 cylinder
Old Ferrari: *blows up*
Hoovie: *buys another old Ferrari*
Boss move
@@TigreJoe1994 Nah, sounds like what Crockett would do (although the old Ferrari Daytona was replaced by the Testarossa which was brand new at the time)
You know I heard 80s Ferrari have a secret compartment just for coke ? Huh
My old S600 had a hidden compartment in each door that was the perfect spot for a gun.
It's no secret 🤣
@@southjerseysound7340 I'd love to see that
I've hidden weed under the rear seat of my sedan and it fooled a drug dog, almost nobody knows you can lift them up with enough strength. Plastic trim panels are convineint too
That’s a Rabbit VinWiki video right there.
I love how the garage was painted hot teal to go along with the 80s themed car and clothes. Tee hee. Love ya, Crockett!
Damn Hoovie's gonna keep the car wizard in business till the year 3000!
with this car alone
The Wizard's kids are now going to college.
That water pump should have been replaced when the timing belt service was done, and should be under warrenty.
Nice point. :D
The wizard is the best man to deliver bad news, hardly sounds costly or devastating at all dropping the engine out to fix a few leaks. Voice of an angel.
6:31. Hello there Wizard Jr. ^^
Looks more like his brother?, Who knows I think the Wizard should start his own TH-cam for repairs, he's such a chilled out guy.
Another Day, another leak in his wallet
5000$...
More than a leak, more like a raging fire burning the notes away
The car wizard is amazing he just tastes car parts and knows what's wrong I bow to your greatness sir
antifreeze has sweet taste to it.
They actually have obvious flavors. Not something I'd recommend tasting, but work on stuff enough and you become familiar one way or another.
yamahonkawazuki like Austrian wine
I had one of those big brick cell phones with the thick rubber antennas! I was a Pepsi guy Back then and wore it on my belt, First guy I knew that had one at .40 cents per minute!
All the other Pepsi drivers gave me crap for the cell phone, asked why I needed it. Accused me of thinking I was cool (as I did) ...But, within 2-3 months EVERY Co-worker was walking around with their very cool brick phones! Obvious they thought I WAS cool, right?
Don't worry I think you're cool Greg! It's crazy to think that not that long ago how big cell phones were and how much they cost to use, even landlines cost extra for long distance calling, now you can get unlimited nationwide cell phone plans for $30/mo (with a little bit of data). I think we are starting to reach a peak where smartphones are now, the specs keep increasing but there hasn't been any huge innovations over the past few years. I really wonder what the next big life changing invention will be, something like a computer or smartphone.
Haha, that's jealousy for ya
My boss had one. I had to wait till 99 before they got cheap enough for us poor folks.
80’s cell phone trick at the end was great.
I love how the car wizard just straight up tastes a fluid from a car engine, identifies it as anti freeze, and Hoovies main concern is where is it leaking from😂
"Oh I forgot I got a Rolls Royce", I wish I could forget having a expensive car like that 😂
Not a major leak hoovie. Don't fall for Parker's style of clickbait!
Ryukachoo I agree. 3 LEAKS?! would have been more accurate
Looks like Don Johnson, sounds like Jeff Goldblum... very entertaining :)
Awesome car I must admit. Your vids are getting better and better! It's great that you have a seperate car filming the driving scenes and the car in action.
That 80's music cracks me up everytime xD
Forget the Ferrari- Who’s Dodge Diplomat/Grand Fury?
Yeah.. I saw that.. 👍
Forget the Ferrari? It was there to give the Miami Vice look more authentic I assume.
i just love the 80s music and 80s themed everything in this :)
TBH that is one of the most beautiful Ferrari's made in history IMO the tail lights, the rims, the rear end, those ride streaks, just stunning. I can't wait for you to make it to a million subs. You're my favorite automotive youtuber!
hey 4:00 min youre on Meridian in Newton! grew up there and still go back often to visit family. Nice Testarossa Hoovie!!
Wouldn't it be faster just to tell us everything that's NOT broken?
Pretty sure that would take MUCH longer. Name every other part on the car versus the three leaks they found.... Hmm Lol
I think Trevor meant in a humorous sense....as if the usual amount of things were broken....like most people have.
Maybe he didn't because nothing is not broken. :/
I was just about to say, "since you've got a rolls and a Ferrari, maybe you can afford a second mic.", but after your call with the Wizard, it looks like we're just going to continue to get videos where all we can hear is you. ;)
But seriously, sweet ride, congrats on the success of your channel and hope to run in to you some time in KS.
Apart from the cost of fixing!! That was the best episode ever!!! 👍😂
Awesome buy! Could definitely be worse. I'd do the oil and transmission leaks first, since they're both easy, and tackle the coolant leak when it gets worse. Provided the car is staying cool as is.
Strange seeing this model after so many years, always tought it was a much larger car, then again most of the cars have grown a lot...
Cool video!
Haha Americans really have a hard time with the 24h clock. "Military time", yes but also just "normal time" for other countries.
Not really, I got used to it as most time clocks at jobs are 24 hours.
@@Tyson-tz2jr
Ya! Keep telling yourself that!
@@Tyson-tz2jr America isn't even a country
Lol Americans have a hard time with it? Hardly. Just people who never had the requirement to use it. Any american in the military, law enforcement, software industry, aviation (and so much more) are very used to 24 hour time.
@@Tyson-tz2jr that's exacly the comment why everyone hates america lol.
Those intros are gold! ( and you forgot the fire extinguisher)
Watch in 144p for the full 80's experience
Genius.
Actually 480i is more '80s appropriate but sadly not available on TH-cam lol
If you want to see under a low car when you're looking at it, I suggest buying one of those bendy cameras for your phone, if you're in a hurry a mirror from the dollar store will also work. Obviously it'll never be as good as having it on a lift or jack stands but it can definitely help spot potential issues or trouble areas.
lol this was great, my man wizard said i ain’t talking to no cops 🤣🤣
You gotta be kidding me that wasn't a murder it was suicide
Please change the wheels back to standard, speak to Harry from ‘Harry’s Garage’ TH-cam channel regarding tyres.
And when you're there, ask him how to say "Testarossa".
@@MrDonkrypton lol Americans have a habit of butchering almost every European name don't they.
@@hughjarreolee7821 Italian names ? And everyone including Europeans Butcher them. .. along with Aluminum... LOL
"idiosyncrasies" appears to be available if you still need a synonym!
The line about the mirror was great. Very subtle, but I caught it. Good work!!!
I'm not sure when I saw it on one of your videos but wizard had mentioned tooth wear from holding his flashlight in his teeth, I have had similar issues while doing this with my projects and my simple solution to still being able to do it is get a appropriate size shrink tube and cut it to size and apply to the flashlight. It's cheap, easy, protects the teeth and can be replaced for a new one as they wear down. Small flashlights are easy to carry around and headlamps don't always work for the situation. Just a recommendation! I enjoy the channel, wish I could go through cars like you do ha!
I own a 6 cylinder motorcycle with similar problems. Hard to start, horrible when cold. Sent the bike off to the doctors to replace the OEM coils which never had enough voltage even when new.. . Fatter spark is needed.
Is it something British or a 80's Harley?
I have a 72 BMW R60/5 and the previous owner put electronic ignition and a modern coil in it.
Where'd you find the 80's Dodge Diplomat cop car???? Might actually be more Tesstorrossas on the road than those at this point in time. And secret confession time, I've always wanted one of those Diplomats/Fury, yank the crap emissions controlled 318 and put a built 440 big block under the hood. Its just one of those weird/quirky cars that were everywhere at a certain time but are now all gone and forgotten.
What does the bad guy on breaking bad drive? That Mike Earmentrop guy. Ya, I know i spelled the last name wrong.
Chrysler 5th Ave I think. Or maybe a New Yorker, all the domestics got all willy nilly with their names when they switched over to FWD yet still made the old RWD car. Its the luxury Chrysler version of the 80's Dodge Diplomat patrol car, has more chrome, vinyl roof, pillow top seats, power everything, soft suspension, etc.
that noise when you started it in your garage sounded like my car did just before the water pump let go. Sounds like a bearing groaning
Starter solonoid is bad perhaps oil the starter-motor
Funny cause then they mentioned the coolant leak was from water pump ...
This thing is too sick. Such a big improvement over the last one. Probably one of the best Ferrari’s out there.
When I saw that tiny coolant leak I thought the same thing as his mechanic: Leave it alone until it gets bad. A tiny amount of weepage is normal, this is why these weep holes exist on every car.
"Kinda forgot I had a Rolls Royce" Hahahahahaha
But will it also go up in flames?
As long as he doesn't loan it out!
JP B Probably will with all these leaks lol.
He has purchased 40 extinguishers for it so probably not.
Nice Cheetah
Gta
I think of Vice City every time I hear that music!
Love all your videos man, funniest/ coolest car guy on TH-cam in my opinion, keep it up!!
Anyone els got happy when the wiz said the rolls was done .. thank u great wizard 🧙♂️ ready for more rolls videos
A timing belt that requires replacement every three years?
....
Also, a timing belt?...sigh
That's precautionary because the belt is pretty long and if it slips a cog due to a little wear or breaks your looking at a junk engine. Probably 100k for a new one.
@@wernerdanler2742 but they said it was upgraded with ball bearings ... why don't upgrade this with a chain ?
Taste test. Mhhhhhmmm, antifreeze.
Ah Yes, a 2013 Prestone Merlot
Italian supercars! Welcome to iconic money pits! On posters in our rooms these cars were perfect! In real life though........
The white Testarossa shown in Miami Vice was the greatest looking car of all time. That paired with its sound and iconic-ness makes it my favorite car even tho I’m 16 with no posters of it in my room (yet)
The "idle hunting" could be caused by the extra warm up injectors if your car is equipped with the K-Jetronic system. A non conventional way of solving this problem is very simple: disconnect their connectors! We just finished restoring our Ferrari with a similar setup and changing the distributor caps plus spark plug wires further reduced, excessive exhaust smell included. Once you have the engine out just replace all the fuel lines if they are the original ones. Those braided lines may look good from outside but will probably be dry and rotten on the inside, especially if the previous owner barely drove the car. The same can be said about both the fuel pump and the fuel accumulator. Please let me know if you need any help, i spent over a year figuring most of this stuff out and I wouldn't mind passing on the information i accumulated with you if it helps you save some time and headaches!
I love that all my friends thought I was crazy with the whole taste it line of thought. If it tastes like antifreeze then it's antifreeze! If it tastes like oil, it's oil! My grandpa taught me that!
