Jared's here !!!
Hi Jared!
Hey Jarad sorry bout the vacuum comment btw. Teenage sons like to help dad when he's logged in. Respect as always. Love your work.
Don't worry, he went to Jared.
What better way to praise an NSX than to say it was rather boring because it didn't break as compared to more expensive cars burning themselves to the ground.
Yeah but it got him clicks!
A Murcielago and Countach are way above the NSX. I like the NSX, but it is nothing compared to the Countach. The Countach is almost the embodiment Lamborghini
I bet its the motor mounts and any dampening associated. Its just amplified through the firewall, think like the skin of a drum. When enough torque the engine pulls tight and sound diminishes, between that you get vibration that translates to your "moan" sound. Or something like that, harmonic balancer?
I’ve only ever done oil changes. It’s a Honda in every sense of the word
I love that he forgot to edit out the redos, caught me off guard at first but shows you how much effort goes into making everything sound exactly the way he wants
Yes, I too enjoyed that part.
I was going to say his editor was falling down on the job.
I didn’t realize how rapid-fire the redos are. Shows how much experience he has that he can rattle them off back-to-back without pausing. I didn’t even hear what was bad about the first takes 🤷♂️
@@alexkroeger1 right? Very impressive how fluid & self-aware he is with it
@@alexkroeger1 the intonation :)
That’s the sign of having a good mechanic when they know their limits of what they can do and knows when to throw in the towel. A lot of mechanics would be happy to keep tearing the car apart looking over everything all while billing you the entire time and most likely still wouldn’t find the noise. Respect to Wizard for being a great mechanic and for treating his customers fair. I just wish there were more mechanics like him.
Amen to all of that!
It's not that he was at his limits.its just not worth his time.its hard when your working an not making money.
Thanks!! Its the only way to operate!
People dont understand that to chase some problems it could cost a lot of money. Its an honest mechanic.
I love how in every one of these videos about the Countach, there are at least a dozen wildly different "solutions" to the moan. I'm sure one of them is right. But the Wizard would be able to afford all of Kansas by the time he goes through each and every option he hasn't already tried.
Your "moan" could be in the cooling system as a result of an edie current within the passages at a specific RPM. I've know some dirt track cars with a secondary radiator in the passenger compartment to develop a "hum" while at certain engine speeds. It's probably a flow resonance issue, it depends on how annoying it is to you to want it gone or not.
Hope he picks up on your observations. It's either that or just a general resonance issue with panels or heat shields, mounting of accessories etc.
Could be Intake related. Induction noise. Vacuum leak.
My guess power steering pump .
I see a dozen comments on each video saying what it could be. I feel like the wizard would have already checked many of these systems, and that, try as we may, we can only guess and speculate. That being said these types of comments have helped me figure out what was wrong with my own classic, so I appreciate them a lot.
The Lamborghini Huracán is like the Corolla of super cars. Very reliable. But then it wouldn't produce as much as content or allow the Wizard to buy a bigger yacht.
Most modern supercars are pur 2014 458 has had basically no issues and mclarens get a bad rap but our 720 and elva have had no issues
Pretty much every modren (post 2010) supercar is reliable and mostly idot proof, look at Hoovie's 458, neglected and bashed around carelessly and yet the only damage it has it cosmetic.
And a castle.

@@SkodaYetiFan but in parts availability and average prices, not a surprise if it's cheaper to maintain an Huracán or a R8.
5:12. I'm actually still surprised you haven't had the stock seat rails removed and custom ones put in that lower it so you can drive it properly. Keep all the existing mounts and holes, just put the seat right to the floor.
right? that's a basic ass fix
Hoovie is not that car smart that’s why he has a garage full of boring every UA-camr has these cars channel.
@@trethatdude he's probably the least mechanically inclined youtuber, period
He might be, but his mechanic isn't.
@@stephenhunter70 exactly....fabricating some new lower seat mounts is about the easiest thing for a fabricator to do.
There is definitely room, there's all kinds of pics with fire extinguishers mounted under the front of the seat. If you can put a fire extinguisher there you can certainly lower it some.
Your mclaren gave me the most anxiety of any car you've had on the channel, I felt I was risking bankruptcy alongside you just by watching
Just the cost of transporting it to the dealer gave me the heebie-jeebies.
Plus the dealers were total pain to deal with. No warranty if you use your car on a racetrack?
Your racey race car. On a track.
7:20 It makes me feel better knowing even Hoovie struggles to do monologues at times. It's tough!

You've been lickin that toad again haven't you, you know we warned you about that..........
This sounds like a job for Iain Tyrell or Franco "The Lambo Whisperer" Barbuscia.
Maybe the Diablo needs a trip to merry old England land or Sunny LA. The Wizard is good, but sometimes you need a specialist.
@@IkeVMAX4 With his magical piece of high tech hose and highly tuned ears, he'd probably have it diagnosed within minutes.
There's a reason people regularly air freight their old Lambos and other assorted million dollar rides from all over the world to be worked on there. The definition of a master of the craft.

Another vote for Iain from me. At least give him a call!
@@doolar He'd probably do it just to help grow his channel a bit.
I actually think it'd be a wise move for Tyler to give him a call and try to arrange something... There's something in it for both of them there. Whether it's worth shipping to the UK though is a whole other conversation.
@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 Maybe cheaper to fly Iain out and see if he can diagnose it where it sits initially?
"I'm not that tall, 6ft2"
Hoovie is in the 96th percentile for height for American men
Sure, but he mean the difference in inches to average height isnt all that much. Which it isnt. 4-5 or so? Not exactly shaq territory.
Exactly lol Average male world height is 5' 5", the average height for men in Italy is around 5' 8". 6' 2" is pretty tall when you consider super cars/exotics are supposed to be low/sleek.
@@GoldenCroc By that logic a man 5'3" is not short because hes only 4-5 inches less than average. You dont have to be smaller than Danny Devito to be short and you dont have to be taller than Shaq to be tall.
@@kylehardy7519 Yes, you are correct relative to other people. What I meant, and Hoovie very likely meant was as percentage of the total, in an engineering context.
I.e. 5 feet 10 vs 6 feet 2 are only 4 inches taller out of a total of 74. Thats less than 6% taller, so a pretty small increase for a physics/engineering standpoint. Since you already need to design the car to fit a 70 inch person, less than 6% more isnt unfeasible. Hope this clears it up.
@@GoldenCroc I'm sorry you can word it anyway you want but you're wrong. Contextually or otherwise. 6 inches of headroom from a physics/engineering standpoint in a car is a lot especially in one designed for speed. And then where does that end? What are the limits to just a little bit more? Logically you make no sense.
I watch Hoovie so I can vicariously enjoy the idea of collecting amazing cars without experiencing the massive suffering necessary. And to remind myself that I NEVER want to experience the suffering side. So THANK YOU Hoovie!
Hoovies dedication to cars has really helped me to get over my urges to buy and own classic cars.
@carwizard, the sound could be an interference frequency from a sheetmetal part. If the engine is operating at a certain rpm and a chassispart has it’s own frequency in the same range it could start vibrating. I have had this experience in my past with steel contructions as well. For example when operating a vibratory screen at 16 Hz we have to take care at designing sheetmetal panels too big. I have seen supportbeams moving 1/2” just by this sound. I have seen a complete building working as a bass.
The way to solve this is changing the dimension of the beams or panels. Shortening length or adding braces will change the natural to a higher Hz. Basically getting this natural frequency of the construction out of the frequency range of the engine and drivetrain. You could also add sound dampening material to the sheetmetal in that area. This adds mass resulting an change of frequency.
Hoovie: "I absolutely love this car, it's amazing, I love driving it!"
ALSO Hoovie: "The car's battery is dead, because I haven't driven it in over two months....."
It's simply a valve body, and it doesn't have to be in the location of the sound. The sound will resonate to be where it escapes the mass of the engine
given the other motor noises that this many-valved engine has to make.
Just replace the air intake valve bodies.
Vanos valve..vacuum leak
I had a vacuum leak in a blow Off Valve in My old STI around the same rpm but only if I was driving up hill. it moaned like a ........ gone as soon as I replaced the BOV, good luck @hooviesGarage
I had a Mondeo V6 with similar moan as the Lambo. I replaced the EGR-valve and problem solved.
@@BenFergus Ah yes that well known ford V6 thats really just a Lamborghini V12 loped in half..................innt
The Countach is absolutely worth it! It’s a reliable vintage supercar. It only has leaks and a dead battery because you let it sit for months!
I absolutely loved that Hoovie left the clips as he recorded… him trying to say it over and over and over is very nice. Do it, nobody else that I watch is doing it.
That Diablo is in my top 3 favorite bodies ever. Targa top, and the way they did it on that body, it looks AMAZING, better than any other Diablo style...
One of the best videos Tyler has made. Be honest about your deals and even your prices, it makes you come across as a normal car guy and not some snobby rich kid. Love it!
Also I like the forgotten edits at 7:07. Interesting insight behind process of recording a video
or more so how fake he really is
@@mickyb1991 You don’t think every UA-camr does a few takes to get their lines right when it doesn’t sound right the first time?
I’d rather have a collection of broken Lambos than no Lambos so I’d say you’re definitely still winning 👀
All Lambo's are somewhat broken unless it's brand new.
I wouldn't. I'd rather have a collection of running Porsche 911s. Cars are only fun if you can drive them, and drive them without fear of losing your first born due to expensive and repeated mechanical failure. These are investment cars, collectible trinkets, not drivers cars.
almost every lambo owner i've met said they pretty much rarely drive it unless they are going to the mechanic or gas station and there's that ONE week its running PERFECT!
This I agree with.... How is he dumb??? He has how many cool cars ? And he gets to drive them all time if he wants...
Now they really are just for looks. Should've invested in cars that actually make power.
I am waiting for " I bought the cheapest Lamborghini Aventador in the USA!"
Christmas miracle in July? I’m sure a flood damaged one will come by with the help of Ed. He is good at finding those.. 🤣
@@Rik_B_ very. If anyone will find a Lambo or any super/sports car with bad history it's Ed Bolian!
there is one lamborghini aventador 2012 model here in dubai i saw on an ad for 700,000 dirhams which is around 190,000 thousand dollars ,i would say its a pretty big steal ( and the car dealer is a very famous one in dubai that sells the most rarest exotics , so its safe to assume that the aventador is in good condition )
"it has dog poop on the passengers floor and a dead pigeon under the seat... But it's my Aventador"
That would be Stradman's.
The "moaning" could be an incorrect adjustment in one of the valves so it's not seating fully, and that's why you hear the whistlings sort of sound, probably one of the front cylinders where the wizard located the noise, a leak test on the cylinder with compressed air could serve as a diagnosis
$250k for these two absolute icons makes you the smartest automotive channel in all of YT!
I feel so proud to have been here for the whole line up listed, remember you teaching the kid to drive stick in the nsx, and thinking you were crazy for throwing cash on top of the 355 trade but after you showing all the "trade ups" it lead to made it totally justified

@@dollar2166 I’m a maintenance oil worker, work even less
He single handedly helped me through the pandemic. I was beginning to lose my mind 💀
I had a car that had a moaning sound from the engine bay at certain RPMs. It turned out to be an oil line on the remote filter. I moved the line slightly and it went away.
Well that’s amazing!! Thanks for that gem.
5:05 He should probably replace the seats with a custom made pair bucket seats and keep the originals in storage for a later day when / if he decides to sell it. That would sort the issue 🙂
Would prob be pretty expensive plus it would ruin the look of the car. Just lean back and slouch is the move IMO. If he drove it every day then it’d prob be worth it but realistically he’s prob spending less than a few hour a month in it I’d imagine
It's a good time to buy an aventador IMO. Wait a year or so for the market to plateau and that should also coincide with an aventador price lull before their eventual appreciation trajectory over the next 10+ years
Love the glitch at 7:05 much love hoovie
same @ 7:33 XD
I love the Countach...maybe because it was my dream car when I was starting to drive. Years ago at a car show I got to talking to someone who was showing one, I told him about my love for the car, he then said that he bet that I wouldn't even be able to fit into the car. I am 6'6" and he was correct, there was no way for me to fit in that driver's seat. You know what they say about never meeting your idols.
Im 6 foot 8 and the countach is one of my dream cars
There are cool things about being 6'6", but cloths and cars are not part of that.
@@Mephisto7529 back pain and joint pain
I stopped growing at ~6’3 just before sophomore year of high school. It took a few years to realize how grateful I should be that I can still (usually) find shoes/ clothes/ cars that fit me. If I were any bigger, most of the dream cars I wanted to buy would either not fit me period or be so uncomfortable they’d be hard to enjoy.
Somebody needs to make a line of super cars for full sized people instead of 5’5 munchkins lol.
FC Rx7s are perfect for tall people
I THINK I KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH THE DIABLO!!!!
I think Wizard is right about it sounding like a clarinet reed, because it’s probably the TXV pintle sticking. Try turning the AC off when the noise comes back around.
oooo....as a glorified PC repair man for the manufacturing industry, I like fault finding ideas such as this
Although, it leads me to wonder, just exactly how you reasoned this fault finding step? 🤔
@@weedfreer just hearing the noise sounds like something that is vibrating at an extremely high frequency. That makes me think about the components on a car that vibrate. Then components that vibrate and are attached to engine RPM. Then components that vibrate, attached to RPM, and are near the fire wall leads me to this as a guess.
Couple that along with the conditions that the noise starts. Hoovie didn’t notice it until it started to warmup outside, and he (I’m assuming) started using the AC again. These are old Italian cars and little components like a TXV that aren’t used and lubricated often can start sticking and make this type of noise.
I have the same whine in my 330d when the AC is on and I’m at a certain RPM. Goes away with the AC off.
Obviously very different cars and issues probably aren’t interchangeable but it is an interesting thought.
My mother in law makes terrible moaning noises when we turn the AC Off.
@bruh meme that’s the thing the TXV is a mechanical device especially on such an old vehicle.
The spit strings around 2:00 made me laugh out loud. We're only human. Lol. 🙂
Hoovies is by far my favorite UA-cam channel! Thanks for the content Tyler!!
Same! I bought a viper after seeing his video years ago. So very happy I have been along for the ride as the channel has grown.
The fact it happens in a certain rpm range could mean that it's a vibration of something that has a certain resonant frequency. You want to look for any flat sheets of metal or pipe etc. in the area that are in the area the noise is coming from and make sure they are not loose, I'd do the same with any bolted connection too just to be safe.
YES
can also install sound deaden materials.
I agree. When the engine hits the resonant frequency of say a pipe which is very close to a more solid object it will vibrate and touch the object, creating the noise.
Suggestion regarding the moaning sound: strap the car to a chassis dyno and hold it in the specific RPM range under light load. Remove the hood and climb on top of the car. If it’s not an exhaust issue it could be a resonance issue in the intake.
Hoovie, I’m still waiting to hear back from you to take care of your super bee issues with the cooling and properly tuning your EFI!
Dyno would be a great way to find it
Yeah someone needs to port the intake a bit just to be sure
Not even needed since the moan happens even if the wheels are not turning
@@EPYCMX it might only happen during load. I haven’t followed the whole progress.
I'd hazard a guess that there's a gasket somewhere on the intake side that's ever so slightly misaligned and buzzing at the specified engine speed range. I had that happen on a car once. Drove me nuts.
Your intake is probably getting some sort of Helmholtz resonance effect. I've heard it on a couple JDM inline sixes make that sound. The Diablo is two inline sixes. I think it's the longer intake plenums that cause it. I have a Toyota 7m that started making that sound after I switched to a front facing intake manifold.
I bet thats the issue. They would have found a mechanical issue
I have to agree, induction noises resonate like crazy. Even on an I4 you get things like that with an aftermarket intake. Sweet ride tho 😎
@@five12man he should go aftermarket intake and see if it helps
@@Chris-hw4mq an "easy" way to diag for sure, maybe just put a tube on it
@@five12man I actually just talked to my friend who said he had some moaning noise on a Honda with Skunk manifold. Seems like short runners and big pelnum gets a moan and groan somewhere in the rpm band.
I don't think there's a single car that looks nicer than your Diablo in that silver color. Whether it moans or not I think you should always keep it! It's worth it just to look at.
As a kid I was largely content with Lamborghini posters on my walls... as a grown up (is that what I am?) I'm content watching you drive, service, and lament/celebrate the quirks of owner/stewardship. Thanks for your service Hoovie!
Agree
Love how often you're posting these days! Hope the family is well!
"This is a car from 1989, not 1960." Keep in mind, though, it's from late in the Countach's production run. It's really a car from 1974, and the prototype was unveiled in 1971. (Heck, if you want to chase it back even farther, the basic body shape comes from the Lancia Stratos Zero concept, which was... what? 1969?) NIH data on immigrants to the US in 1970 suggests that the average Italian male born circa 1950 was around 5'6" as a young adult, so... there you go. (Yeah, I actually researched that. It's a slow Friday afternoon. :)
I can appreciate that in most cars you would feel the EGR issue but legitimately that sounds like an EGR issue in the exact rpm range of an EGR issue I realize they don’t make sounds but it’s a Lamborghini that sounds exactly like an EGR issue for the exception of it doesn’t stutter.
HOOVIE PLEASE READ! I know this is a car but I had this experience on a natural gas pipeline transmission engine. I spent 6 months trying to diagnose the gear box/noise and it was what they call a “soft foot”. Since the foundation was cracked, it allowed for the gearbox to obtain a harmonic. This is what caused the humming noise. Gears were good and I aligned them but since the foundation was “soft” it would allow a frequency to pass causing a resonance. We had to fix the foundation, cad no issues afterwards. Now my point, check all of the bushings, which I am sure you have but think about changing bushing materials at the mounts (including exhaust and transmission). If you already have, tell the Wizard to by a potentiometer to measure the vibration at various spots. If it is caused by a mount you can see if it is a function of the RPM (I.e., the frequency will match the RPM frequency). If it is, then it is a mount somewhere. If not, likely some type of vacuum or seal leak. Message me if you like but this has been a subject that I have investigated a few times.
I think that's why the Huracan is so popular. V10 instead of a V12, but the engine is so reliable and the transmission is really good too. I beat on my Performante on rallies all day long and it just takes it. Never any issues. Hopefully its upcoming hybrid replacement is as good. We'll see. Regardless of their issues, you have one hell of a collection.
That flashback just reminded me that I've that I've been watching you for years now! I helped pay for a few of those cars lol. You do not have to buy supercars that's going to cost 10s of thousands to repair, we'd watch your channel even if you bought an old Oldsmobile Aura. It's the entertainment value and your personality that keeps me watching.
I would agree. There is definitely a “UA-cam formula” for many of these Vloggers. Stradman has done a very good job staying ahead of the curve. You could see him buy and modify all of the “latest and greatest” just at the right time to ride the wave of popularity. From the Supra when it was new, to the Corvette and Gladiator, his timing was impeccable. I like Stradman but I think his channel needs that to survive and prosper. Hoovie, on the other hand, has a totally different vibe. Kinda reminds me of one of my favorite shows Wheeler Dealers. A love of anything on wheels, in its pure and unmodified form, with an awesome mechanic Ed ( which is our Wizard) to work on it! Hoovie can buy a Pinto and a Gremlin and I would still LOVE watching.
That noise could actually be something related with the flywheel pilot bearing. Creating the sound while it isn't loaded with the engine torque.
I was leaning more towards something in the intake plumbing.
@@patrickradcliffe3837 don't think that would create such a frequency. They should install some mic near the gearbox. And then filter multiple sound frequencies.
I liked the idea of the oil thermostat, which would explain the noise when the engine’s hot.
@e what
@e ua-cam.com/video/HPk-VhRjNI8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Baj%C3%A0Blast
That sound is coming from the de-coupling ionizing sectionised pludainum overtransactors. it just need adjusting to the counter clockwise using the new Rockwell Turbo encabulator.
Capacitor fluxing…
gotta love rockwell automation
More likely it's one of the spurving bearings, time and wear can allow them to make contact with the panametric fan
check for unremoved aluminum flashing in the plenum. Sometimes some flashing gets left over from the casting process. shape edges will create a resonance.
*"If I want to hear it moan, I can make it moan all day long..."* Underrated quote of the video.
With cars that require a lot of maintenance it is job security for the Wizard and content security for you. It is a win win no matter what kind of car it is.
I love the Countach, but if you can find a hooptie Ford GT you should do it
The orange Murciélago continues to be my favorite. I'd sell the other two, especially the Countach since Hoovie is too tall to fit in it. Ford GT? yes please!
Add a "Hoovie bubble" to the Countach like Gurney did with the GT40!
This is why I come here. Not only to see the Wizard’s integrity, also to show us the cost or ownership of the exotics. I always want my cars as close to perfect as possible and while a blast to drive, a Lamborghini would drive me nuts.
Keep up the good work.

That’s the joy of owning a car like that, is a “special” car. It’s not for a “novice” you should appreciate the opportunity to be one of the select few. And proud to have the responsibility, that’s what defines a true connoisseur . The headaches are apart of the joy if you’re really into it.
There's only joy in pain if you're a masochist.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH You missed the point, the repairs are nothing and are meaningless if the automobile is what you really and truly want.
I would send that car over to Iain Tyrell in the UK, has his own UA-cam channel. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing.
If I could check out the Lamborghinis with Hoovies and The Car Wizards I would drink the shot of whiskey and pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up.
First world problem: "My Lambo moans and it's sooooooo annoying". Love Hoovies videos. The interaction between Hoovie and the Wizzard keeps me coming back.
Been looking forward to this one! I love the Capristo full headers and valved exhaust on my Cayman S. Rowdy when you want it to be, civilized when you need it to be.
I’ve always been curious what you paid!
What a freakin’ deal!
Be assured the were the cheapest in the USA lol. I’m curious to know as well.
@@rogermuthatruckinperkins451 It's in the video. Did you watch it? Spoiler alert, 250k for the 2 cars.
Good mechanics fix problems, great mechanics know when to throw in the towel. Good on ya Wizard.
Timing belt/chain harmonics under load, that's where I would look
Try disconnecting injector and see if it moves the harmonic at rpm range.
It could be a gear droning in the front cover as well, possibly oil pump.
I have seen oil pressure regulators make a Humm when they are producing slightly more overpressure than regulator/bypass valve is opening, then you get a continuous series of cliicks that makes a Humm.
Replace engine oil to change viscosity and see if it moves the drone range.
Try an oil thickener like Lucas, if it doesn't effect anything, your only out oil.
Injector disconnect may give you a code or 5 but only out a computer reset.
That odd noise in the Diablo maybe actually a rattle within the engine compartment. My W12 A8L had that exact same noise when I drove the car at WOT and drove me crazy. Turned out a fuel line with a metal clamp managed to rattle against the manifold. - I found the source of the sound by cutting up pool noodles and wrapping pipes/cables etc until it was no longer there. Then I slowly removed the noodles until I found the source. Maybe worth a shot before having the wizard spend a bunch of time ripping it apart.
Hoovie needs to make a shirt that says “If I want to make it moan, I can make it moan all day long” with a picture of this car.
I started watching when you bought the Gallardo. Thank you for showing what it’s actually like to own these vehicles and saving me sons college fund 🤣🤣. Seriously great content it’s like having car and driver episodes several times a week.
I wonder if installing Dynamat or similar to the panel between engine and cabin could dampen the sound?
That’s the same thing I was wondering.
CLD type sound deadeners wouldn't be particularly effective against a sound like that. They tend to work better at adding mass and lowering the resonant frequency of a panel, and absorbing very high frequency vibrations in that panel. It would likely need a mass loaded vinyl, decoupled from the panel itself to block the noise.
I think you are finding a natural resonance in that drivetrain. Could be a bearing on its way out or a misalignment. Not sure if this car has the "option" for the all-wheel drive, it could be an issue with the output shaft. I would put the engine on the lift and see if it has any play on the shaft or any support that could not be tight enough. Can be the stiffness in the drivetrain that has changed because of this.
250k for a countach and a diablo seems like an excellent deal even if they have issues
I'll give you 20k for the diablo
wizard is a highly skilled artisan with strong principles. he is what we all wish for but only very rarely get
his style has inspired me alot in my own projects, no joke, keeping his calm approach in mind has helped me a lot
fats, Dont be a bombastic twat, an artisan is someone who makes something largely or solely by hand, cheese, wine, pottery etc. Nice try, now remove your head from the Wizards virtual buttcrack, theres a good boy
This video just made me smile so much because I know I was here for all of that. Tyler is like that friend who does dumb stuff and you just watch them and life vicariously through them
the moan could also be a slight defect in a chunk of metal in the intake that catchs the wind blowing thru it or a gasket that has to much on the inside. If you have not noticed most cars have that one spot around 1500-2500 rpm that either makes a noise or vibrates the car which is often the balance on the crankshaft
14:39 "ruff" always happy to hear the accent of us Canadians spill into the northern states
For some odd reason, it's so satisfying to see very experienced mechanics admit to being unable to diagnose something
"i'm not that tall of a guy, i'm only 6'2" " thats fairly tall hoovie.
a few inches make all the difference.
So does this mean the Wizard eats the $15,000 for the exhaust, that he convinced Hoovie would fix the problem?
Wizard probably ate the labor costs but not the parts.
I worked at a high end shop for years and we had a set of microphones that we could clip to different parts of the car to find noise. It had a switch box and headphones that would allow you to isolate each microphone.
That’s what they used, “ chassis ears “
Hi Taylor, I will write some experience I had with an old car I used to own. It isnt a diablo of course, it was a WV Eos that started moaning right after the clutch broke and the mechanic changed it for another one. It was smooth with the original one, but the sound when decelerating was soooooo anoying I finally get rid of it. Its just a totally different car etc, but who knows!
I think the mechanic is entitled to get paid for the work he did trying to find the problem.
Yeah and you should pay your realtor even if you didn't buy a house, right?
Wizard makes bank off Tyler, he can take a hit now and then.
It's his decision... I've not charged people.
He makes enough off hoovie and his cars anyways, haha!
@@hallucinatedovens8414 So a mechanic can spend days working on your car, and you don't think he deserves to be paid? The realtor analogy is just stupid. I agree that they are buddies and Tyler spent over $80K there last year. That probably has something to do with it.
@@quinnjim have you ever done piece work or contract work? You don't get paid for inspections or quotes, you get paid for completed work. I get it maybe you've only even worked hourly and used to getting paid for every second you're there but that's not reality for independent contractors.
Hoovie- you're up nearly 500k on those Lambo's. Maybe drop the constant "I'm an idiot" shtick... please
Sounds like it's time to ditch all the exotics that The Car Wizard can't fix and start getting easier to fix cars.
Have you watched this channel before
Or find a competent tech for his exotics
Air bag light can't be turned off. In my state you'd have to install a bypass on that, because you'd never pass the annual inspection with that light on. So the car could never be put on the road.
6' 2" is quite tall. Italian cars in particular tend to be made for smaller people.
I'm 6' and most sports cars I have been in are uncomfortable in some way - seat width, pedal position, roof height, leg room, etc.
I owned a C3 Vette and put a fortune into keeping it up. You, my friend, have a fleet of nice cars like my late C3. I hope you have unlimited funds, or an oil well under your property, so you can indulge your cars ever present, and growing, needs. Good luck. But look at the bright side: Your videos make me smile, and remind me to NEVER own another Vette. Cheers!
Sorry bud, you’re just straight up broke if you think running a corvette is too expensive. Every car has its expenses and if you’re talking about a performance vehicle (truck, car, boat, off roader) of course it’s not going to be like having a Honda Civic.
Only sports cars that are actually cheaper to buy and run than a C6 like I’ve got are Miatas, BRZ/ 86s, gen coupes and mustangs which are nowhere near that level of performance.
@@paulwilliams667 You are correct sir. I've owned a C3 and it was complete junk, built at a time when American auto quality didn't exist. I presently have a very low mileage C6 roadster and it's flawless, a pleasure to own and drive. I'll forego the exotics and stick with my Vette.
Why what was wrong with it
@@buggin1951 why what was wrong with it and what was the year, like was it an 81?
@@buggin1951 Ooook that makes much more sense, saying you don't want to own another vette seemed to imply a blanket statement. I'm assuming it was a smog era C3 but even the earlier ones have some rather nasty issues from what I've heard.
You have a leaking air pipe/evap pipe near the firewall run a smoke test on the intake side and see if you get smoke. With age the rubber pipes wear out and get leaky and sounds like crap then could be a cheap fix. It wont throw codes for something like that because the diablo ECU was not that advance back in the day to pick up a minor intake leak. Incase that does not work there are few other major diablo issues which cause issues intake manifold seal/gasket. Trans fluid worn due to age will cause a low hum in the trans.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SELL the Diablo and Countach. Sell the Murcielago. The other two are classics and you will regret selling them
Not many people could carry off owning all these iconic cars without coming across as a four-letter word. Hoovie is a unique one-off wonder. We can all relate. And he is best buddies with The Wizard and that can only mean one thing. He has to be a cool dude!
This was also a perfect episode, production, quality, and content.
I _love_ that little Porsche Spyder replica. Sadly, it's out of my price range, especially for something so impractical. It's a race car from an era when a barebones race car with lights (necessary for endurance racing, anyway) was capable of being an acceptable road car, both legally and in terms of buyer acceptance of the un-weather-protected driving experience.
And here's a thing:
Lamborghini Muira was _not_ the first mid-engine production sports car. The Spyder (1955) was a mid-engine Porsche production car, and not the only one from that era! There were the Spyder, RS60, 904 Carrera, and 906 Carrera. Even the 908 Le Mans prototypes were _technically_ the last road-legal 'production cars' to race for an overall win at Le Mans, if I am not mistaken (1967-69, beaten by the Ford GTs). There was also the Alfa-Romeo 333 Stradale (1967), but I digress.
Anyway, Hoovie's Spyder would make a kickass pure sports car, for times and places where that works. But, I'm going to setup a Miata with manual steering, I think. Somehow I'll have to make room for my 6'1" self in that little car, potentially behind a biggish steering wheel.
Love the editing. very behind the scenes today
my 99 diablo makes some weird sounds as do many of my cars. I think that's just part of owning old cars!
I had a similar issue on my 300ZX twin turbo. A moan about 3k rpm. It was the i take tract and started occurring when I removed the factory air box and added a high flow Stillen K&N intake. Put it back to stock and noise was gone. Check the intake tract and anything not stock in the air way including air filters.
I currently have the engine out of my -92 Diablo. I have several pictures of the engine I can provide to you to maybe give a hint what the moan can be. I myself have no idea what the sound could be. There is not very much back there towards the firewall. The only thing might be a transmission mount or an engine mount going bad.
With the Countach and the Diablo, I would love to have both or either. I have enough mechanical know how to work on certain things myself, and things like dead airbags do not bother me. I pulled the airbag steering wheel out of my 30 year old Honda Civic, i do not like the idea of a violent pillow smacking me in the face if I end up in a wreck... I will already be pissed off enough as it is.
Crazy suggestion with the Diablo. Send it to John Temerian at Curated. If anyone can figure out an issue on a Lamborghini it's likely to be him. He'll probably want to buy it from you, but you can always tell him yes and then change your mind. ;-)
And as for the cars being dead when you don't drive them for a while, have you considered getting battery tenders?
I think the move to make with the diablo is to take it to someone who has the capability to run the engine outside of the chassis. No way that doesn't show you the issue.
Good to see you appreciating all the Lamborghinis you have so maybe you have a little room left in your heart for an Aventador. Us folks in the cheap seats would love to see you and The Wizard do one of those.
I used to be a mechanic but never with exotics.
When you mentioned the musical instrument Reed. My first thought was, maybe one of the underbelly panels
But the Wizard knows better than most.
How I found a little tick at a certain speed.
I used my gopro with a magnet mount and a suction cup mount and moved it around the car and sure enough I found the problem. A loose clip on a wheel cover would cause the cover to move just enough at 30mph to make the noise.
