Tomorrows video: House renovations, and I get pulled over on dashcam after doing 130MPH in the Corvette. I got pulled at 95mph in a 65. Stay tuned!

Could it be a removable hardtop for the Porsche?🤔

Dude, I really enjoy watching your videos. Please keep them coming. It is so awesome that your brother is seemingly always by your side. God bless you and your family.

Brother dont stop .keep doing you ,your awesome and i love your videos man 👍

Sincere genuine nice guy nice to meet you on you tube keep up the good work. Happy days

Keep up the videos bro I have learned alot from you

Dude just subscribed today and let me say the Porsche 996 vids are awesome - thanks for sharing - what a win A preverbal Gen Z Barn find ! I am happy for you my brother ....8k plus some hoses n shout ...lol thanks again , reviewing watching your videos made me go on Craigslist and pick up a 2001 996 99k Cabrio man this thing flies and so responsive love coming off the parkway here in NY.

Excellent job !!! I am an aircooled 911 driver , always detested the watercooled 911’s but for less than 8k its a steal ...the mod I would do is the Akrapovich exhaust....thank you for sharing...as a diy-er in Holland its so cool

Randy, you should have left that rear seat bottom out, so that area with the water under it can dry out! I would also leave a window cracked, so you don't get that wet moldy smell!

Phenomenal content keep it up and take a few day's off if need be. Those of us that are in to this channel will always be supportive of what you do.

My man! Keep up the awesome work Randy!!

Nice work loved to see you're on that Porsche, I'm a Porsche Mercedes Fan. But love older American cars & trucks. Thanks for the content👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯

Awesome Randy. I'm so happy the 911 worked out for ya. It's been my dream car for over 30 years. I'm jealous. Keep that jem. Don't flip it. You deserve that beauty.

Great video Randy. Cant wait for mor work onnthe truck and the house

It does not take long minerals in the water will do a number on the cooling system. You will see corrosion that looks like calcium buildup.

Love the Porsche videos randy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great content Randy! Keep it up!

Hardtop was standard issue on all 996 Cabriolets. Many folk in warm areas didn’t want them-they take up a lot of room in the garage-and would just decline. Dealers and individuals sold them off. It became an option for the 2005- 997. I got one, as-new, from Parts Heaven in my area for just $500. Thing is, in coastal CA, I only used it twice, for a few days each time, over 7 years!. Nice option, though, makes the Cabrio very quiet inside.

Finally got a chance to finish the episode great content man awesome to see that the Porsche is not gonna be your money pit

Youre the man Randy! Keep it up

I think you bought a hardtop. :P

Good to see you are keeping busy... lol hope you get your day off soon!!!

Nice win, Randy !! Content been great, keep it up !!!

Get you some forever black coating for your convertible top great stuff. Makes it look new.

I had a 2000 996 and this exact same problem. I fixed it by Replacing the air oil separator. It has a rubber diaphragm that goes bad. You still have to flush it out but if you don't replace the AOS it will happen again. Just my .02.

Winter is around the corner you can have a day off then.

We all told him he was going to be replacing all of the hoses, didn't we? It's ok Randy, we still love ya.

Even tho I will never afford any of this type of stuff I enjoy watching it. Thanks for the vids.

Looks like you've got some great content coming up. Looking forward to it.

It can be a slow leak oil to coolant, try some head gasket sealer that goes in the oil

Nice video thank you

Love the Porsche and the truck content .

You do have a lot going on. A day off sounds great, but when, right. Enjoy your content, and can't wait to see the next GMC video.

Great result!

Buy a large nut, I use a lugnut for a semi truck, pull the screen off the hose for the coolant filler slip the nut on the hose and put the screen back on the hose then you don’t have to hold it in the water

dawn dish soap water would do well for cutting the oil.

It is not oil in the coolant! Someone put transmission fluid in the coolant... There is no way oil would expand the rubber that much but transmission fluid or brake fluid sure could do the job! You might as well change all the hoses tomake it dependable for road trips!!! Did you order a turbo or a rear spoiler? Nice find and Huge win on the Porsche 911...

hi randy from UK love the new house good to see you doing well man

Hi, really impressed with your solutions to the 911 coolant issue. Any reason why a dilutable degreasant couldn't be used? I'd have thought this would have cut through oil much more. Also, strange such a small part failed (the rubber 'Y' connection). Is it possible that one of those small bore lines is choked up? Sometimes old rubber hoses fail internally and bits of rubber end up floating around the system. Seems that the part failed due to overheating and/or over pressurisation? Definitely worth checking all the flexible pipes....Good skills and really interesting!!

Cool dash for the truck, quarter size turbo, love it.

I get what you’re saying about not having days off, but you’re building up your life to live better and easier in the future. Keep up the hard work man!!

If the oil in the cooling system issue continues, consider changing the radiator. It could be cracked internally and oil from the oil lines could be mixing with the coolant there.

Paint that top with spray carpet die or mist black primer on it. lightly not thick.

Finally a win on the Porsche. Good for you man !

The top. Dry cleaning fluid the clean it then vinyl colour change spray to make it like new. Cooling systems. One flush with automatic dishwasher powder to clean out calcium and other deposits and all the aluminium if you leave it in too long.

I think you purchased a Porsche 911 cabriolet hardtop. Am I wrong?

That turbo puts out more boost than you think. The one on my Audi A4 is about that size and it will put out 20 psi all day.

Tim went to Kansas to hang out with Hoovie, JRGO, and the Wizard?

Clean the drains from the soft top if you have water in the car. If the immo gets flooded the car wont start and you have to send the unit to florida for repair. I bought a hardtop for my 996 for 600 bucks in good shape, wrong color but in good shape.

That is what oil does to rubber hoses but it seems that it is worse on the inside of hoses then on the outside of a hose

it's amazing to me how dry that pond behind your house has gotten since you moved in, despite the amount of rain you seem to get.

Try adding some water soluble oil to the water which will attract the oil in the system into the coolant.

Tip ...when the car is red hot losten the manifold bolts if you can 6 out of 8 break off when you try to get the manifold off

ask mike over at autovlog for the name of his speeding ticket lawyer, he seems good, lol and randy your channel is my favorite. auto channel on youtube by far.

awesome video thank you

We use cascade dish soap at our shop , works really good

You got the Hardtop for the Porsche?

What’s the set up used to pressurize the cooling system?

Congratulations! Looks like you did well. I think that replacing all of the hoses would be a good investment. What if someone buys it, and that one hose you didn't replace blew, possibly overheating the engine? You may not see that person again as a customer, may also spread bad publicity on the internet. Also all new hoses is a good sales point.

I’m gonna say a hardtop...Either that or a wing (even though I’m not sure that was an actual option for the verts)

If I were you I would really consider using distilled water instead of tap. All of the impurities could really hurt your seals, gaskets, and cooling components such as radiators or coolers. Also constantly pressurizing your cooling system will do some serious harm later down the road especially if that system has never been changed from the glued components to the fixed and welded components, they will blow and fall off. Look at hoovies KZfaq page regarding that.

1st mod - turbo rear wing. DO NOT LET WATER GET INSIDE YOUR 911. The DME is under the driver's seat and that's where H2O collects when it gets inside. Fries the CPU and then you have big problems.

You can get the oil oil just by cutting a pig in strips and dipping it in your coolant bottle. Took me 6 months to get all of my oil out but it will pull it even if you put coolant in it.

Are those rear wheels the 40 offset 18 inch from a 996 C4S or a Turbo? They look like they are sticking out about an inch or so from the fender wells.

Have you checked the oil cooler?

Nice job dude

Was there video captured of the first drain with Shout to see how bad it was? Watched the 3 vids so far and don't recall seeing it, just the initial coolant drain.

I have a question for you. As a regular member on copart in Louisiana what do i need to purchase a car? I am being told that I need either a license or a broker in order to buy online

Randy: you and your brother have your hands full!!! Actually the Porsche turned out to have some good content. I thought buying the car was a mistake. But I have been wrong before!!! Cheers

Looks the original alternator had a one-way clutch mechanism on the pulley but the new one didn't. If so you might have various other issues in the long run.

Strong work randy

Looks like the oil in the cooling system caused damage to the hoses.

Have you ordered another set of wheels?

i would love to see you attempt to replace the convertible top on the 911.

Cooling hoses do not like motor oil. I am guessing that causes some of the swelling.

Oh boy your making me wait today. Lol i’m working on my BMW in my supra today. Looks like it is almost brake time

Bring The Camaro, Corvette And Porsche To The Drag Strip Pls. Anyway Nice Videi Mate!

wow you are so busy now! , i cant wait to see the porsche and gmc running as well as your new shop/home/mancave/peaceful outdoor fresh air place , its so interesting following you in your journey ! hehe

You should have used should always use Distilled Water for your cooling systems. This is because of the minerals in tap water, can cause corrosion in your system down the road.

So you guys don’t call me a lazy bum I started dying laughing when he said that 😂

Use a shop vac, see if any moisture can be pulled out.

Hey, really enjoy your trials and tribulations with these rebuilds. I'm thinking of buying a 2016 rebuilt 4runner with a rebuilt title. I see one of the car pictures shows the milage feature which should say 17-18 mpg but this one says 12.3 mpg. Why would it say that and would you buy it? I am not a mechanic. I need a good car. Anybody know about this?

Use a small towel to wick the oil out of the reservoir! Any oil you get out of the reservoir is oil that won’t go through the system.

I think you should call the alternator an All Tow Mater!

Hey man I love what you’re doing with the Porsche. But I think you should run distilled water instead of tap. German cars recommended distilled water. Tap water can mess up the seals and what not.

Well. Look at the hoses as a wife. The old ones swell up, and the new ones are slender and firm...... LOL Great videos by the way.

hey really enjoy your vids but hey have a tip for that rag top go to dollar tree and get blackb spray bottle for tires ,ya no tire black .but take that stuff and put three or four coats im telling you you wont believe it im serious its called tire shine manufacture driver choice I brought back a top that was ready to be replaced to some more fl sun shine ..thanks again for your vids later guy

what was wrong with getting the correct size of tyre?

Is the used factory option for the Porsche a Whale Tail?

What is you bought a hardtop?

Didn't the instructions say not to hold the hose pressure for too long at the start? You don't think that might have been more of an issue concerning distortion of the hoses? Just a thought...

I saw the fuel system problem for the truck over on Instagram.😭

Randy greetings from Portugal! Keep up the good work! Just one thing...why did you swap that lovely Becker-Porsche unit for that ugly Kenwood?

Does that water going when it rains like that does it go inside theit look like when you opened it it went inside the intake 2 that's not good don't want to hydrolock it

you got a new top for the Porsche

Try using nexen sup1 tires there at rated and run better on my bmw and Mercedes e63 amg

Lot going on. Like how you get into and show. Ya have time to work, redo, bring to life my 58 Chev wagon?? I will help.

Did i miss how the oil got into the cooling system?

Im thinking a hardtop for the Porsche?

Is it a hard top ?
