Get everyone welcome back to PorscheTalk Radio Show. Thank you very much for joining us again
this week. We've got a guest. He's a regular guest. In fact, he might actually be as regular
as Argemall and I are on our podcast. Welcome, Jeff, home-built by Jeff, to the show again
this week.
How are you going, guys? I don't think I'd be quite that common. I think this might
be my third time here, but yeah, anyway.
Yeah, but that's more often than us two, honestly, the way we've been lately.
You have been sporadic. I have noticed.
Yeah, yeah. Life gets in the way, doesn't it, Argemall?
Don't must not be. We've not been good this summer. It's our holidays are kind of topotailed
to.
What's up?
Well, over here. Over here. I don't know if you know, there's been like a drought.
It's been two months of zero rain. Obviously, all the lawns are scorched. There's a hosepipe
ban. You can't use hosepipe because all the water is running dry. Reservoirs are running
dry. But for the last week, it's been nonstop rain, nonstop every single day.
Firstly, listeners, let me interrupt this by saying, prior to our last episode, where
we went a good solid nine to 10 minutes before the Porsche talk where the channel started.
We've got into it like within moments because all Argemall could talk about like a good English
weather because they've had to go into the sunshine when spraying with the weather. We
got to get that out of the way. It's one of those things that bobbles under the surface
and you just got to get out of the way. You got to pull the, you know, plaster
off.
Well, I'm going to say as a West Aussie, right, and Jeff's Eastern based, right? He's
got the worst of both worlds, in my opinion, where he's located. He's here. So he gets
your winters and my summers.
Particularly where I am. I'm at a much higher elevation than most of Australian cities.
So yeah, it does. Like it has snowed here twice in the 10 years I've been here. You
know, like it still gets cold. But yeah, anyway,
I'm cold enough to paint not to stick to panels. Maybe that may have been a reason
issue.
We were in a coat and there's ice and I've seen the one where there was ice in the background
on stuff outside and I'm like, where is Jeff? Like it gets to sort of cold morning here.
The coldest I get is about minus six Celsius. So it gets cold.
Oh, that's brutal.
It's regularly, I mean, two days ago it was one. So like it's still, you know, it's almost
spring, but it's spring. Sorry. It's the second day of spring.
Yeah. Jeff, you mentioned elevation earlier. Just for listeners, you are South West of
Sydney.
Yes, South West of Sydney. I'm about, my elevation is about 700 meters above sea
level.
Okay. Yeah, great.
It's the New South Wales, Southern Highlands is where I live.
Got it, got it.
Yeah, it is, yeah. A lot higher. I mean, it's not high as far as, you know, a lot of mountain
ranges go, but look, Australia doesn't have the highest. It's as it is. So it's pretty
high for Australia.
Yeah. Yeah. That's why I was quite surprised at the number you said. Tell me, I think
the last time we spoke, you mentioned, do you no longer live on site where your shed
is, where you do your work?
Actually, my viewers didn't know this, but yeah, actually I didn't for the last three
years or so.
Yeah, okay.
My shed was on a vacant block for a long time.
Are you building your home there, have you?
Yes. So I'm currently, I'm now back and there's a brand new, in a new house.
My viewers have not known any of this. This is probably news to them, but yeah, like for
three years I was living about two kilometres down the road and I had a little electric
scooter that I could just sort of ride to and from to the shed.
Hey, are you sure?
Sitting on a vacant block.
When you say electric scooter, you mean the little wheel ones that the 12-year-olds
go and do their pizza delivery?
It was a bigger wheel one, but it was still, you know, just an e-scooter because
it was too short to drive a car because it wouldn't warm up.
Got it, yeah.
So, like it was literally two kilometres away, so it was two, with no lights, no traffic.
It was very close.
Sure, and cold.
Yes, and cold.
Yeah.
Yeah, so yeah, I did get a lot of comments in my videos going, Jeff, maybe you need
to spend a little less time in the shed and a little bit more time on your driveway.
Because the driveway was looking pretty shabby, but they didn't realise it's sitting
on a vacant block.
So, it was pretty long in my house.
It was just this shed on a vacant block.
So, now I am back there, but yeah, we'll see for how long.
Yeah, I do have plans in the wings for a bigger shed.
Ah, a bigger shed.
Everybody needs a bigger shed.
Yeah.
No matter how big a shed it is, you always need a bigger shed.
That just means you're not throwing shit out, doesn't it?
Like when I move, I'm dreading having to move the shed because there's so
much stuff in there.
I go back and look at my, if I go back and look at my earliest videos.
Yeah.
Then I go, holy moly.
There was nothing in the shed.
It was empty.
And now it is absolutely packed to the rafters and it's going to be a nightmare to move.
We recently had a bulk rubbish collection opportunity over the weekend.
I'm sure everyone has a version of this in various parts of the world where the
local council or Shire or city department say, bring your rubbish outside.
We'll bring up a truck and we'll pick it all up.
Okay.
That's what I'm talking about with bulk rubbish collection.
And I'm going through my garage and I look at stuff and think, what if I need that
material for something?
Now, when I do that, I think I reckon Jeff would keep this.
Actually, I'm getting better.
My wife, I call her a chuck chucker.
She doesn't want any clutter in the house.
I joke with people that we have two glasses because there's only two of us.
So why do we need any more than that?
It was not bolted down and it gets thrown away because it's like, why do we have
excess shit?
Yeah.
I was the same.
I was the same.
And I think I agree.
When I go through the garage, there's big things that need sorting out and they
just sat there, like the elephant in the room.
But sometimes I'll see and I'll think this screwdriver that I've had that I've
got off my dad doesn't actually work properly because I filed the end of it.
Should I throw it away?
And my wife will walk in and go, what the hell are you doing?
What about that shit in the corner that you haven't sorted out?
Why are you sat there discussing this screwdriver?
Yes.
That is funny.
I often contemplate the life choices of people.
I've looked at all these self storage places these days.
It's such big business and how much people have got total junk in there that
they're paying more per month to store it than it is actually worth.
Like just get rid of it.
Yeah.
Let's bring up that subject for a moment about storage.
Yes.
I'm in the unfortunate slash privileged situation that I have more cars in
space.
Okay.
I want them stored inside.
Car storage in the last 12 months, my car storage costs have doubled.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now that's because of the number of people who've got shit in a really normal
storage.
Yes.
I'm deading it out.
So the supply and demand, right?
It's all I can bring it down to.
So everywhere I've gone thinking, oh, that's too dear.
I'm going to go somewhere else.
I just can't find anywhere more reasonably priced.
Well, I've been to your storage place, your car storage place.
Oh, you have?
Yes.
Yes.
When I came over and visited you.
Yeah.
That's now triple stacked.
Okay.
So that the, because it was quite a nice location that you were at.
Convenient.
Convenient, like, you know, car guy running it with nice cars and
sort of, you know, you come and get it when you, when you please.
It has changed ownership that business since you came over.
However, look, still good car people that own it.
But the supply and demand situation, the, one of the reasons it was
convenient that you are unaware of is the warehouse directly
behind it was my warehouse.
Aha.
Right.
For business that we rented there.
Right.
But it was a business with a facility without space for vehicle
storage because it was a full.
You couldn't squeeze a couple of cars in the corner?
No, definitely not.
It was to the rafters, but I no longer have that business.
So I no longer have that warehouse that part besides the fact
it was its proximity to the airport.
It was also convenient for me afterward to swap motor vehicles.
Obviously.
Right.
However, I still use that facility, but the costs to do so
are now becoming prohibitively high.
And this is not, I'm not saying this is a detriment to,
I don't think it's price jabbering.
I just think it's the state of the market at the moment.
And by look, you know,
comparing it to other car storage places here in Perth,
it's just brutal.
I'm almost the point where I'm looking at other like minded
people and wondering whether or not we should just form
a syndicate and buy something and use that for storage.
If I can find half a dozen other people with a couple
of cars, all of a sudden the math sat up pretty quickly.
Or you just do like I did and move to the boonies.
Yeah.
No, I'm not doing that.
I'm doing space.
Well, so that is that's a good point because I live kind of
no, I'm a train station.
There's a train station really close.
I can catch trains to London in less than an hour.
But I'm also quite rural.
There's 700 people live in my village.
But two villages down, which is about four miles away,
is where the storage facilities that I used in it.
I'll tell you how much it was.
It was like 120 pounds a month, fully insured,
secure, cars on a trickle charger.
And the great thing is it's an old boy who runs it.
He's retired.
He does classic car trailering.
Oh, yeah.
He's the guy I ring up when my car breaks down.
And he's great because he lives in the next village.
So when I want to go and pick up my car,
which when it was in storage,
he would come and pick me up.
Perfect.
So he'd pick me up, take me there,
or I would just leave my other car there.
And then when I went to pick it up,
I would just phone him and he would go and open it up.
He would open it all the time.
He would just open it for you.
But the problem is if you left your car there.
It was obviously open all the time if you're using his services
because your cars are always breaking down.
Always breaking down.
Yes.
Most of the time they limp somewhere and then die.
It's like the last throws they get me there.
But the great thing,
and the thing with these facilities is because
he's constantly got turnover of regular customers.
If you don't go, like I was,
I had my MGB there and I left it there for years.
It gradually goes further back into the unit.
So if you then go,
I need to go and get that car.
He has to take a day to like jigsaw puzzle,
rearrange everything so he can get out.
But it's great because I'm not,
I'm not in a city.
But if you're in a city,
it must be so expensive and so difficult.
Well, definitely.
Friend of the channel, Matt Farah,
actually his living is made out of doing exactly the subject
we're talking about right now.
So we looked at it as a business proposition here,
particularly in the part of Perth that we reside,
which is, you know,
there are a lot of people with a lot of cars
and a lot less garage space.
So the cost of the storage on this side of town
is significantly higher than where I'm currently storing
because that's a good solid 35 minutes away from my house.
So anyway, that's a diversion topic
that was brought up.
Jeff, what's going on?
We've got a lot of listeners that you have as viewers.
So most people are up to speed with what's going on
with you building a truck.
Yeah, basically, yeah,
I've been flat out building this truck
and it's actually getting,
like it's been a long time to get to the stage
where now my truck is actually running and driving
and moving and is working as a truck
there is no bed on it, there's nothing like that,
but, you know, all the rust is repaired
and all that sort of stuff, which was the tedious part.
So, yeah, I'm getting sort of close to,
I'm sort of going backwards and forwards on designs
for the bed for carrying cars.
For those who don't know,
I basically have a 1954 Ford F600 truck,
which looks like a Ford F100 from the 50s,
but it's actually the same cab they put on a bigger truck.
All the trucks had this exact same cab
and I actually got a Toyota Coaster bus,
which is a little 22-seater bus
that I cut the bus off, threw the bus away
and basically kept the chassis and wiring
and the running gear,
and I've now made it look like an old truck
that I'm going to have a tilt tray bed.
Out of curiosity, the pre-tilt tray part,
you know, before that bit,
just putting the cab over situation you've got going on
because it was all Coaster bus before.
Has the engineering been pretty straightforward?
Yeah, basically.
I had to move the engine back 240 millimetres
because...
For engineering?
No, to make it fit the...
When I say engineering, I'm talking about
to get it registered when I say engineering, sorry.
To get it registered, like that,
I mean, the rest of it,
like my engineer that I'm using,
I'm converting it from having to be on a truck licence
to being on a car licence.
Ah, okay.
Sure.
I mean, I have a truck licence.
In Australia, generally,
up to four and a half tonnes is the...
Like GVM, gross vehicle mass,
so fully loaded up to four and a half tonnes
is the maximum you're allowed to have
to drive on a car licence
on a fixed vehicle.
The bus was like 49.90 or something?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
And I could drive it, but then my wife couldn't drive it.
None of my mates could drive it.
If a car breaks down and my mates want to borrow it,
it's just easier on a car licence.
So that is my plan is going,
okay, well, it should be able to make it under that
and I'll probably only have a payload
of being able to carry a one and a half tonne car.
That's plenty, let's face it,
for the type of cars that you're interested in, right?
For my cars, it's fine
and it's only got a four and a half metre tray.
That's the length of the bed on it,
so it's not super long.
I mean, if the butt of the car
hangs over a little bit as long as the wheels are on,
then it should be, but yeah,
it's not going to be a huge tilt tray.
It's going to be relatively lightweight,
but that's fine because again,
my car's a little, so that's the plan.
The golden question I've got,
I'm sure you've been asked a thousand times
in your YouTube comments, right?
Aside from the project for the channel,
what's you really thinking of using this thing?
Not a great,
look, I mean, I'll potentially just drive it to work.
Oh yeah, okay.
It's going to be an extra car.
At the moment, we have one normal car.
That's my wife and I share.
What's normal?
Well, we have a 10-year-old Porsche Macan
that's the only normal car we have.
Do you have an old Ford Merc?
I do have an old Merc.
The trouble is that since I got it
and I've had these issues the whole time,
it worked fine for about a week or two sort of,
but for some reason it's automatic and it won't idle.
So you have to drive it with two feet,
so my wife can't drive it,
even if I'm slowing down coming up to a roundabout.
If I don't keep one foot on the accelerator
while I'm braking, it will stall.
So then I have to cycle the key
and get it in neutral again to start
and it's a whole thing.
So it's not easy to drive.
It's a pain and I don't know what I'm going to do with it,
but again, that was another...
It's not a normal car.
Surely for our generation, that's really normal.
Totenheal.
Totenheal, Jeff.
Sort of, but in an automatic, that's weird.
All I'm thinking right now is about you going to a wrecker,
finding a gearbox and doing like a backyard manual conversion
on this car to try and make it usable.
It's more, I've been looking at just doing a complete engine
conversion on it.
Oh yeah, at least.
Well, I was looking at probably a Barra,
basically like a buy an old Ford Falcon.
It'll be naturally aspirated.
The issue is that I just, I'm still torn.
I don't love the car.
I bought a cheap car that was just over 30 years old
so I can put it on our historic regio.
So the registration instead of costing sort of $1,000 a year
costs $50 a year.
It's, but you can only drive at 60 days,
which is plenty for an extra car.
Ashmal, do you have those types of registration
historic registration in the UK?
We do.
So over here you can, so it's road tax, right?
So you pay road tax when you're driving a car normally
and it's normally based on up till the year 2000.
It's based on the engine size and after the year 2000
it's based on emissions.
So to mine 996 is pre-s 1999.
I probably pay 300 pounds a year to tax it
so I can drive on the road and to tax it
you've got to have a valid certificate
say it's road worthy and you've got to have insurance
and then you get the road tax.
But after, but then if you bought like a 2005
96, 97, whatever it might be, then it goes up
quite a lot or if you bought an Aston Martin Vantage
like Mark and I were talking about the other day
they get into 700, 800 pounds.
So you're talking about 80 odd pounds, 90 pounds
just to park it outside.
But with the historic ones and it's a rolling 40 years.
Yeah.
You don't pay anything.
Really?
Yeah.
So you so when your cars that old
you've still got to get the
you actually they've also exempt
from the road worthy certificate.
So you don't need an MOT either.
You don't need an MOT.
That's even worse.
Imagine some of the cars that are out there.
I know and that's the thing because a while ago
when they were really old cars
obviously they needed a lot of maintenance
they didn't get a lot of use
and classic car insurance is normally limited
by mileage but it's not that limited
it's kind of limited to you know
three to five thousand miles a year
which is quite a lot for a classic car.
But then we're now getting into the era of 40 years ago.
85.
You could have an 80.
You could have an 85 Golf Mark II
that's going to go to the moon and back.
And someone's driving and thinking
I don't need to get an MOT sticker.
Yeah.
So what if it's a falling off it?
So hopefully no one's going to abuse that system
but it's got to the point where
and also in London
and big cities there's ultra low emission zones
so you need to pay a daily charge
if you drive in and your car doesn't fit
the low emission zone.
Is that exempt from that as well?
Yeah exempt from that as well.
That's a loophole.
So it's getting to the point now
where you can have a daily driver
that's 40 years old and it's totally reliable
and you're also getting to the point
where cars were galvanized and zinc coated
so they're less likely to
well they're still going to be rusty
but less likely to be as rusty as they were before
so it's getting
there's going to become a tipping point
where there's going to be some title rules around it I reckon.
I'd love to see
I'm sure there is footage out there
on TikTok or some social media
of old flogged Mercedes
diesels from like the 70s
that is pumping out black stuff
like it's going to our style going through these low emission zones
in London right here
because they're fully exempt.
Yeah because my 2009
Audi
2009 diesel cars were promoted
because they were supposed to be cleaner
and more efficient and it turned out they weren't
so at the road tax
on my 2009 Audi that's got
203,000 miles on it
is 20 pounds a year
because that's how it was
promoted as back then so they can't
suddenly go to 500 pounds.
So they grant father a top thing so until
it's dead it'll always be
that much money. Exactly but the thing is
it's never going to die
and it drives like it always did and it's got
203,000 miles on it
but it's not exempt from the ultra low
emission zones so if I lived
in London I'd have to bin it.
So it's
any city I go and visit
my mum lives up in the midlands I go to the big city there
I have to pay 10 pounds a day
to drive into the town. Or drive the 996.
Or drive the 996 isn't exempt yet.
Ah okay.
Yeah yeah so
that's kind of the
15 years to go.
What I did get distracted from
a moment ago from that
conversation was Jeff
you said that you don't really
love the Merc.
Yes.
Are you collecting cars you don't love?
No.
I can't just check it because it sounds
like there's a bit of a pattern here at the moment.
Half the cars in your garage might be on the wrong side
of the love and hate relationship.
It's only the Merc
in the Rockstar.
What was the tipping point on the Rockstar?
What tip get over?
Hang on I've still got a question before you move on to the
Rockstar because I've got big questions on the
Rockstar.
The question about the Merc
is you know when it's driving
when it's on the move is it driving absolutely fine?
It's nice.
Look it's immaculate
it's got
it's a four cylinder petrol
so it's a 2.2 litre four cylinder
petrol with 400,000
kilometres on it
that still runs like
original engine, original gearbox runs fine
it just won't idle and I've tried to do all sorts of
things but it's
What's an OU?
What does it OU?
I've paid four grand for it.
What if it was a great car with an OU wouldn't it?
Exactly.
I looked at it and thought it's
a Merc and I've tried everything
to get this thing to work but it's this sort of
primitive early
EFI type setup so it's an electronic
the throttle
is a cable throttle but it's got like an electronic
idle control inside that
that's sort of a little electronic motor that does the idle
Is it like a Kjet
Tronic or something like that or some early
boss system?
It's just
the trouble
is it's not worth
pursuing because it's so gutless
like the reason it's lasted so long
is because even when you floor
it really it really goes over like
three and a half thousand RPM
in a four cylinder petrol like
the red line is six but like I've never taken
it anywhere near that.
So when you ask the question it says what?
Yeah
it's been
I bought it off a couple in the 80s
who had it since almost new so
it's always been looked
after and well-serviced and it's just
it's nice and neat it's just
gutless and I'm like I can do
an engine swap on it but do I care enough
to do the engine swap on it?
If you know as your little
mate there at Link not got a solution
here look I could put a link in it again
but like it's
it's a lot of work
for a really junk engine
like it is a tiny
gutless little thing
that you don't love
that I don't love so it's like
well what's the point
of frogging a dead horse I don't know
so
in some ways I don't want to quit on it
because it's neat and it's like well
it's worth almost nothing if it doesn't
work but
do I care enough to do the engine
swap that's the other thing
I think it might be time to go and visit
your mate who does the engine
rex over in Adelaide there and find a nice
C63S motor for it
Yeah again
I don't love the car enough
and just leave the rest of it as it is
See the rest of it
that's why it's looking like a bar
I could buy an old running
Falcon for two grand
and then all the parts are there
and it's a free swap
or it's a thousand
dollar swap
but I don't know
I'm still torn
I think
honestly this should be a conversation
topic that would actually
generate a lot of algorithm
work on YouTube for you if you threw this
out to the audience
I have I've mentioned
it a few times like
because I've I never planned on
that actually being on the channel
I just sort of thought I will I'm buying this
basic car I'll just do a video on it
just saying look I've got this as
a cheap extra daily
basically and then
it wasn't working
and I've got four or five episodes out of
me trying everything
hanging your head against all
I used every suggestion I could
I've talked to every Merc specialist
I could could everywhere and nobody has
an answer and there's no
there's no end in sight
yeah besides that it works
fine like air cons nice and cold
everything works
it's immaculate it's still got the
original like first aid kit
and warning triangles in the boot
normally sort of things that came with
it is an immaculate old car
yes
it's just very uninteresting
yeah it was a wagon
I would swap it for sure but it's not a wagon
yeah okay
yeah I'll
I'm partial to a fast wagon
and there may be something like in the future
of yeah I'm still
what my next boots gonna be in a fast
I know the UK audience love wagons
yeah
they love it
they love touring
yeah I haven't
stopped making estate cars as we call
them over here have they
I think they're about to stop
making them because everyone's buying SUVs
XC90s or whatever it's a new middle
class car of choice
so I think they're about to stop making
them but over here I did see
sort of a 1985
Mercedes wagon
like you know pure beige
in beige
with brown interior
it's manual as well
a rinse of got it
and it's for sale
it's like £7,000 or something
and I thought do I want that
we didn't have air conditioning so I thought no
for those three days
yeah
two months
two months
you get an air con
is like people who buy an SUV
right
with off-road capability
who live in the city
but the thing I don't understand is there's so many SUVs
without off-road capability and you go
what's the fricking point
there's so many of them
it's because you can't buy
sedans and wagons anymore no one makes them
Ajma
that is true
that was the issue with my 911 for
many years is
I had no heat
in my old 911 and
like I said I get mornings here that get down to
minus six
and in a 911 with
no heater you don't even have radiant heat coming off the engine
because the engine is behind you so I would actually
I'd have a coat
and gloves and a beanie
and I'd still be freezing
driving the car in winter it was terrible
I can't believe you didn't fit
SSI heat exchangers or something like that to it
Jeff
they didn't make them in the size that I
I've got aftermarket headers on it
and they're
I think they're two and a quarter inch
or something in an odd size
and like two and a half is a bit big
two is too small
so it was this weird size
so I've actually
I made my own heat exchangers
so I've made boxes over the headers
and basically
the trouble is that they don't
they're a bit small
and they don't create enough heat
if I'm sitting on the highway
I'm freezing
but if I'm on it in the twisties
I'm toasty
doesn't that car
you're talking about the orange car here are you
yes
haven't you got that retro
air conditioning
does that not have heat as well
no he's
he's developed a new thing
with the heat
so that's the same system they use
the thing he uses
he's got a new
the issue is that you actually have to
pump the gas
the opposite direction
to get heat
so you actually have to
have a valve
a switching valve on the pump itself
which I know he's just
developing but yeah at the time
because the aircon works quite well
well it's interesting to say that
Roof and Singer use it
because in the last two weeks
or so actually since car week
when all the new cars
have come out and they've all got
the same aircon system
which I assume is a retro air
I can't remember the name
classic retrofit and they're all
winging that it's just not cold enough
for California
the aircon
but it might be because of the size of the glass house
in these cars or whatever it is
well the 911 obviously
is really quite a glass house
because there's tiny little pillars
and you're right next to the windows
I tinted my glass
with clear
UV tint
but it's almost clear
so it doesn't look like I have window tint
sure
just for the paparazzi
you can see straight through it
I need them to be able to still take photos
that's right
I don't know
but
the blower is not
super strong
that might be the part of it then
I went on a drive
in March
and it was sort of low 30s the whole time
and I was regularly turning the aircon off
because I was getting too cold
because it was sort of on and off
I didn't have it on a thermostat or anything
sure
but it doesn't blow
like the blower is really
is a bit weak
and I know he's got a better one
but I'm sure it's still probably not as good
as it could be
and that is one of the big things
is getting the vents and the blowers to be as strong
as a modern car
so when it can actually blow on your face
when you're hot you feel like you're cooling down much quicker
but it still kills the cab down
can you just remind me
I think you even fitted the more modern vents
in your Porsche didn't you
I had basically no vents in mine
mine's a 74 so I had
those two tokens in the middle
no I didn't have anything in the middle
I had these tiny little slots
smaller than my little finger on either side
and that was it
that's actually what Ajmal's got in his car at the moment I think
I think it's the same one
I've just got the ones at the windscreen
okay
but Ajmal do you have
do you have the quarter glasses that turn open
yep
mine are fixed
so
so I didn't have any
I didn't have those quarter glasses
those quarter glasses are fantastic
I love them, I'm going to remember 356
you flip it completely the other way
it doesn't have to do at any speed
just don't have a crash
mine was one of the first years
I think it might have been the first year that they made them solid
but I still do have
the opening rear quarter glasses
so before I actually
fitted the aircon I worked out at one stage
that I could put the missed events on
open them up
and if I opened the rear quarter glasses
then it would get airflow through without the noise on the highway
the trouble is that
with the rear quarter glasses you have to stop the car
and get out
and no one opens them that often
so the rub is always really tight on the glass
when you open it right
yeah so they're always
a bit of a pain
which is one of the reasons why on my
Ferrari I made them electric
so the rear quarter glasses open
they've got the same type of rear quarter glasses
and they open with electric actuators
do you have an aircon in the Ferrari?
I do but I haven't actually
plumbed in the gas yet
but everything is there
the compressor is there
the aircon unit is there
is that the Alfa system or the Ferrari system
or aftermarket system
it's a Jeff system
classic retrofit the same guys
make a system for the Alphas
but
I had to make the tunnel bigger
the Subaru gearbox
so there's no space for it
so I actually have two separate systems
I have a heater
I have the aircon system in the center
above the gearbox
behind the dash
that is for the
aircon cooling
but then I have a heater
behind the passenger side
glove box
and on the factory
heat slider
so you go from cold to hot
I set that up with a micro switch
so when you put it on cold
it runs the fans
from the
the one fan switch will run the fans from the aircon
but as soon as you turn on any heat
it will start opening the heater valve
but it will also
change the wiring
over to running the fan on the heater
so
at the moment you just need to gas it
and find out if this whole thing is going to work
it already works at blowing
cold air
through the fan
that works but I haven't actually
I've got the
electronic
I just bought
I didn't buy this
from anybody I just bought
the electronic compressor
from eBay
you can buy a 12 volt
aircon compressor
and the
just made my own unit up
okay come on
so yeah
I haven't had to use it yet because I haven't really
I haven't driven it enough
to need it, particularly not in summer
it's only sort of now that it's actually
finally getting to the stage
where it's actually a comfortable usable car
I'm surprised at how quickly the shakedown
I'm sure it's different because you're the owner
but considering how long you've actually
had it on the road, the shakedown
I got the impression, I did watch
I think I watched your most recent video on the El Ferrari
I get the impression
it's now the point where
it's a pretty nice car to drive
it's much, yeah
it's so much better
when I first built it
the engine mounts I used were polyurethane
leaf springs
and with a flat plane crank engine
I didn't really know this beforehand
but flat plane crank engines inherently
vibrate a lot
because that's why they develop
cross plane crank engines
so basically
with the flat plane crank
the firing order is sort of basically left
right, left bank, right bank, left bank, right bank
so the whole engine wobbles
rocks, yeah
whereas cross plane it's like
left, left, right, right
left, left, right, right
that wobble vibration
it smooths it out
and
yeah so
now I swapped those
I completely changed the engine mounts, put much bigger rubber
bushings in and
the vibrations are 10% of what they were
when I first had it
when I first had it it would
like just particularly idle and low revs
it just felt like the whole car was going to rattle
apart it was just shaking
your feelings out
of the quality of worlds at that point
but as to whether or not the cars stay together
it was just absolutely
horrendous, it was just
it was not
a comfortable thing to drive
and I was like what have I done
and now it's actually
because I didn't want it to just be a youtube build
like so many youtube builds
it looks pretty and it
moves down the road so it must be
amazing
I wanted to build
a car that was actually
a real thing that you could actually use
yeah awesome
see I need to do that with my 912 because
my 912 the engine mounts
it's just a youtube build
there are any engine mounts
it's literally just straight bolted through
it's just bolted
no you got the big bar across the back
yeah the big bar across the back
that's got rubber things in it
normally
on the ends it's supposed to have mounts
there as well but it's just bolted
straight
because normally underneath that big
big bar on either side at least if it's the same as the 911
it's got like
little rubber mounts that that sits onto
that bolts through it so
it's not a mine it's not a bar
like I've seen on another 912
it's a flat plate
massive really thick flat plate
too circular
to the ends I will say this though
even regardless
they're very smooth motors
they're very well balanced motors
so it shouldn't have too much vibration
not mine
just so we can
before we finish on the Alfarari
yes
I haven't seen much content
regarding exhaust
there's going to be a lot for a bit there
and then it's all gone quiet all of a sudden
when you end up with the make and the noise
actually like I sort of did that
and then I
it had wiring issues from the whole
from the start I sort of
I
basically when I started the car
for those who don't know what it is
basically Alfarari is a
1973 Alfa Romeo
GTV that I put a
2000 model Ferrari V8 in
and the car
didn't have a wire in it so I made
the entire body wiring loom
from scratch
and I thought I thought of everything
I put a couple of spare wires into the loom
and things like that and of course I still didn't think
of everything and then it was all sort of
cobbled together and there were things
that weren't working properly when I got it going
even it's got electric
electric power steering
and that would only work
every other time you started it so sometimes
it was like trying to wrestle with it
sometimes it didn't get enough
power so
I swapped over the fuse box and I put
a PDM a power distribution
module in it so like an electronic
fuse box
and it was off the road for the last sort of
two and a bit months or something so
that's where it sort of stopped is I started
trying to make it sound
better because it doesn't sound like a Ferrari
it almost sounds like a four-cylinder still
so
it's on
my list of things to do
but
I actually had a company in
I want to say they're in the Netherlands
but somewhere in
Northern Europe
might have been Denmark
either way
they actually
reached out and
I scanned my engine bay
and they actually designed up
a set of equal length headers
that would fit in the tiny
amount of space I have
in that space
they are the most bizarre looking headers
you can think of
but I actually 3D printed them and fit them
on the
a few loops going on
yes
but the issue is that
his initial design
it only had like sort of two millimeters
of clearance everywhere
including like the steering shaft went through
a hole between the headers
that only had two millimeters of clearance
so things like that
I couldn't actually be used like that
but that was an initial run going
okay well this is
in theory is possible
and that was with using off the shelf
bends that I could actually
sort of calculate and well
but I could actually
as they were discussing
potentially use some 3D printed
sections
so maybe the pipes overlies in some sections
so you keep the same
internal diameter
but they could actually get more clearance
in spaces where you needed them
so that is something
that's possible
but the only other issue is that
I don't know if I could actually
as they were
and as my engine mounts are
I couldn't fit the engine
with the engine mounts
so I couldn't fit the headers
with the engine in the car with the headers on
there's no way it wouldn't fit
but with the engine in the car
you can't put the headers on because you can't get to it
so like it was sort of
there was no way to actually
you would have to come up with a way to fit them as well
so it's all like a
I think you have to do the whole
Hoonigan type thing
and just put the exhaust straight out through the top of the bonnet mate
you'll be fine
the thing is you can't even get it out the top of the bonnet
because you can't get it past the spot
so the engine
it has to go down
or just cut the car in half and widen it
by about three inches you'll be fine
I could probably put two exhaust headers
out the back of the engine
and two out the front
and just fucking out from underneath
the car somewhere
a couple coming out from underneath the front of the car
I get what you're saying
but I don't know
how are you going to fit the turbos in there?
I've had lots of people ask for that
tell me now
it's not the fastest car in the world
there's plenty of supercars that are faster
but it is far too fast for a car like that
it's already scary fast
it is a very very quick little car
doesn't need boost
it's 310 horsepower
at the wheels
or 226 kilowatts
of the wheels
what's it like?
1220 fully wet
it's a lot of fun
it's lighter than the Ferrari it came out of
and it makes the same power
and it revs to 9
and it's still pulling
all the way to 9000 RPM
and even on the dyno
the power was still going up
at 9000 we were about to go for
9250 and keep revving
but my crank
trigger wheel that I made for the front
of the engine broke off
just before we did it so
I haven't been back to the dyno
it happily revs to 9
and it screams
and it just keeps pulling
it just doesn't scream the right tone
that people are expecting when they hear Ferrari engine
is that right?
yes it does not
so there is more work there
and I will be doing more
particularly now that it's actually working again
I've just realised
I've got your solution for you
what's that?
it might be time to just convert
it
you can do it
let's face it
the gearbox is already back
I know you've got the Subaru gearbox
it's in the transaxle as well
get one out of the Ferrari
it's already got a Subaru bell housing
I'm sure I could get a WX gearbox
to run like that
put that side down
there was a mate
who did
I've got a mate in Queensland
who had less in his 911
sacrilege
he had to
change the pinion wheel on the WX gearbox
but if I did it mid-engine
you wouldn't have to change the pinion gear
you just do it
just connect up a standard WX gearbox
I feel like you've already
thought about it
I could do it
I don't want to do it
have I not mentioned it
I'm sick of mid-engine cars with a rockstar
that's a front
that's a front wheel drive gearbox
in the back of a Boxster
that's what they are
they're an Audi gearbox
what is it, five reverse gears and one forward
I'll hang on the other way around
no it's
the gearbox is facing the same direction
everyone thinks it's
because it's just
instead of running on the front wheels
the Audi's are a very
front engine car
that sit way past the front axles
and so yeah
basically Porsche thought
that gearbox looks good
we'll put it in our Boxster and that's what they run
they run an Audi gearbox
which is why I put an Audi V8 in my
Boxster track car
that has been sitting in my yard for a long time
which I was going to ask you questions about
yes I have
so I watched the last
video where you put paint on it
sort of
yeah
and I watched the previous video as well
when you went into the track
when the lights fell out
and I felt like that was the video
where I just saw the change in your face
going off just flipping
and enough of this
and then when you start putting the paint on it
it was literally like I'm throwing paint at it
there was no luck
you were like yeah it hasn't gone properly
but yeah it's fine
the fact is
look I'm not
I realized
when I bought it I was really thinking
I was going to build a time attack car
that was my ultimate goal
what can I do
and the more I've sort of
well time attack is coming up this weekend in Sydney
it's a huge event over here
and the more I look at that
the more I realize that
I just don't want to throw that money
at the car
there's no such thing as a low budget time attack car
it's
millions of dollars
oh it's crazy
and I wasn't even expecting to be competitive
just go and have fun
but like it's really
you need massive power
and serious aero
and yeah it's got to be
a really big thing
and if I just want a car
to go to the track
I have my 911 which
I can just run around all day
without complaining
and the tail lights will stay in
and the tail lights will stay in
well to be fair
the tail lights on my box
fell out on the track
because I did not realize that the previous owner
must have pulled them out at some stage
and never actually bolted them back in again
so they had no bolts they were just sitting there
and so they eventually just fell out on the track
can I expect pedal a second time attack
yes
time attack youtube videos
especially Japanese stuff love it right
yes
you said big power big aero
yes
and you see there is big aero on these cars
spaceships right
I just don't know how well
tested or proven some of this aero is
a lot of it looks a little bit backyard to me
when I look at the size of some of these
wings and front splitters
and rear
diffusers and stuff
I'm thinking I don't know
I don't know whether you actually you know whether or not that works
well you know the CFT that's got into that
this little CFT that's got into that
you know that
I don't know if it has been as much
look this
there's some of that that definitely hasn't
but the high end guys are using
F1
you know F1 engineers
to design the aero
yes
but Jeff that's six people
out of the 200 runs that are happening
that day
there's probably a lot more than that
actually there are a lot of people who are like
you know you're already spending
you know
50 to 100,000 dollars
on an engine at least
a minimum
and they're spending that again
on aero designs
because it makes
such a difference if you want to be even
close to being competitive
there are listeners out there that
love and time attack
that are obsessed with it
that maybe even drive
let me know what sort of research you've done
let me know how you've developed your aero
all I want to know
I'm curious
I know there is an Aussie
guy in Sydney somewhere
who has his YouTube channel
who worked for Mercedes
for F1 for
a few years and is now
doing time attack aero designs
here in Sydney
I actually think there's probably more money
in time attack aero work
than there would be in Formula 1 because there's only
20 Formula 1 guys that would be doing it
versus time attack there could be
150 jobs out there globally right
yeah maybe
oh yeah
there's a lot more than one guy on there
that's still
yeah you might be right
but yeah so basically
with a rockstar I just sort of realised that
it's so much easier having
you know
a car for me that
yeah I don't
I enjoy a track day but I don't
go that often I go
once a year maybe
and it's generally as part of another event
so I'm not sort of
I just don't get there enough and I'm like
well
yeah I just realised that I went into it
with one intention and realised that I'm not actually
that guy I'm more
I really wanted to do the build
to be honest
I love building cars
as much at least
if not more than driving them so
it's fascinating
yeah I don't think it's a mystery
so I've got home drive by built
I'm by Jeff
home drive by built
well I chatted with
Mike from
Stanceworks and I think he's sort of
in a similar boat that
he just
I think he loves driving
but the build
I'm sure he'd be similar situation to me
that if you could only drive or build
for the rest of your life I'm sure he would do the build
rather than the drive
is that the guy doing the f40 v12 thing
yes
his videos of
they're very
they suck it in
yeah I often see
I'm not watching a 45 minute video
oh my god I can't believe the video is already over
yeah it's that type of
video he's got just by those hypnotic voices
as well you know where he's
very
process driven it's
great listen, great watch too
he's methodology
but that's Jeff's frankenhall video
I've got no interest in trucks
zero
Jeff's like I'm about to start this new project
I'm like oh he's gone to trucks
I'm like I'm no interest in trucks
and then I'm hooked
I'm like every week I'm waiting for this video
what's he did this week
I don't know how it happened
I've got a complaint about your latest video
yes
here it comes and I'm sure you've
heard it in the comments
I got clicked by it
which one was that
the front flip the front end
I thought whole guards and everything were coming up
I thought I'm looking
I thought that
I can't wait to see
oh he's just done the bonnet
just looks like a 240Z
I thought
why is he doing this
he's just put the steering column
through the side fender
I was just going to work
I was exactly the same as him
I don't remember putting a curve in that cut
that he had to put in the side guard
to make this thing flip
I didn't know
it was just
I mean
I'm not the greatest YouTuber in the world
which is because I just don't plan
things out very well
if I actually planned out
my
projects and
maybe even didn't do a weekly video
and did a video every few weeks
when they had like a
major milestone
but
I just sort of
scrabble around and go
what am I going to do this week
and put together a
it's working for you
you've got plenty of people that love watching your videos
us too included
whilst it may not be perfect
it still fits
it fills a spot for us
I enjoyed
just thinking you've made a few videos
where you've kind of gone back to the Alpharare
and done a little bit of
I like the shakedown stuff
and the exhaust and a little bit where
you've done the wiring or the power steering bit
and what a lot of YouTubers are doing
is they're having a like a two channel
a second channel
and at first I was like why are they doing that
but it's to work the algorithm isn't it
it's to stop the algorithm working against you
on your main videos because if you put out
secondary video that's not a big video
that's in a big build that everybody's waiting for
it then affects your big video
because you've got fewer people
you're a little tweaking at something
have you thought about doing that
I have
the trouble is
it's starting again and it would
it does hurt me
but like things like most of my rockstar videos
are like a bonus video
there's a second video for the week so they don't do
as well as the
my Sunday videos
my videos always come out on Sunday over here
and
the fact is that I'm lazy
I don't think that much is true
I just put out the
I never planned on being
an inverted commerce YouTuber
it just sort of happened
I started doing videos
when I'm building my 9-11
wait, wait, wait, let's backpedal it
weren't you doing some house rental stuff or something earlier
I did some of that as well
I was just sort of filming everything I'm doing
I'm like well if I'm working I might as well just film it
I did about 10 episodes
of building
which
three years ago I knocked that house down
and that's when the new house is built
so that was
that could have been a whole different channel you could have killed it
yeah well again
I didn't want to advertise the fact that
my shed was on a vacant block
you get visitors you don't want
yeah that was it so now I'm living back there
yeah I get it
do you think there's a
YouTuber out there that produces less content
than that is more successful than
Tavaarish
oh my god yeah
at least not in automotive
the guy's a genius
that was very well
he must have probably about one video a quarter
these days
he's a nice one
but he makes sure that they're going to
be
big videos
and
I know he's copped a lot over the years
because he's had a lot of projects
that he sort of got and then never finished
he still
does finish projects
but
you get the most views from the new project video
so if you're always announcing a new project
you're getting it more views
it's just what it is
detailed view
project builds
are not great for
the algorithm
my Alpharari build was on up to
233 episodes on one car
it's not good for YouTube
the first 10 were amazing
yeah
maybe 4 or 5
would be max
is maximum ideal
Matt Armstrong is really killing it
he's the one who's really just
absolutely nailing it
everyone loves a crash car come good right
look it's really entertaining
and I've had people put them forward
people said why can't you
do stuff more like Matt Armstrong
I watch all these videos I love his content
but
I compare his stuff to what I do
he's putting together
reassembling Lego cars
and I'm making the Lego pieces from scratch
his stuff is fantastic
but it's a very different thing
from making a
detailed Resto mod
and creating every single part
it's just
he takes back to what it was
with a bit of
modification
square or whatever but basically
it's repairing a damaged vehicle
and finding
the parts and whatever
it's not
he's doing a great job
and everyone loves to know there are a million dollar lamb
beginnings out there with 7 dollar parts on them
that type of content everyone loves that stuff
absolutely
I like that
because if you look at the latest Tavaresh video
that was dropped yesterday I think
on the 918
on the 918 Spyder
you don't know he bought from Canada
he had fire damage
he dismantled it
to avoid the tariffs
so he took the engine out
and he sent it as
pieces
and it dropped yesterday
it was just tearing down the engine
it went live yesterday
and he's got 750,000 views
not bad
whereas Matt Armstrong
has just gone live
with his Revolto video I think
and he's cobbled all of them together
to make it a much longer video
and that was
a day ago
and that's 2.7 million views
that's amazing
he's killing it
he's just
he's just really likeable
in years
yeah
he really does a great job
I wonder what he's going to spend that 11 dollars
off AdSense on
the thing is
the difference is I like a restoration
where I like somebody resurrecting
something that's old and been neglected
we all have a taste
I do like Matt Armstrong's videos
but I'm not
interested in driving
a high-end Lamborghini
or
Uros or something like that
I'm not massively interested in those things
I
feel the same way as a kid
I think we all love the latest supercars
they were the most amazing thing
and now as I'm older
I sort of look at it and go
I mean
I could sell my cars
and buy some nice new supercars
but even if I had the budget for new supercars
I'm just not interested
I'll be much more interested in that
in a classic
then Hoovey I think has just bought
a
Gullwing or Sadie
I know that's crazy
that is so much better than a Bugette Bugatti
like I've no zero
interest in Bugettes
but it would definitely be
much more my speed
I'll ask you guys
you just mentioned
Jeff that
when you were young
you were very interested in supercars
now the supercars you liked when you were young
are now classics
I hate to break into you
because you're at an age
same with you Oshma
unlike me
but in your series
when does it stop
when does that
at what
if you are say
at 25 years old
anything after you've turned 25
is no longer interesting
as anything under 25
I'm curious to know when is that actual number for us
like my thing of myself
I think
when I think supercars after about
2000
pre 2000
supercars I still get a little bit excited
about it you know but after 2000
a lot less
or is it 95
and is the number that
tied a bandwidth that we can actually predict it
because you see in car values like at
Monterey car week all the
old cars super soft
auction prices like the arse
is completely falling out of classics
and 1990s and 2000s cars are going through the roof
right so
that is an age thing that's absolutely
an age thing because the super
old car like you know the DB5s
the e-types the gull wings
they are those people are dying
those people are out of the money
or they've got no they're losing interest in that kind of thing
and so you know if
let's say suddenly we were given a black check
you do whatever you want and you know you're going to kind of sway
towards the cars that were on your
you know on the wall when you were a kid
the 959 the Diablo is the F40s
the 308
apart from the 909
they're always Italian
they're always Italian exotics
apart from the 959
and so but then
you've got that that's a super high end
that we're all interested in but then
we're also of a certain age that when
there's cars that we would want to now buy
which are probably the cars that we coveted
when we were 17, 18, 19 that we
saw everywhere and everyone else driving
they might be hot hatches
they might be you know some performance car
that was readily available
and anyone could buy
some of them disappeared because
they weren't cars that would last forever
others are classics and really
expensive so you know I was looking
at the other day a Cleo
Renault Cleo Williams
hardly any of them left
and they cost so much money
and you know or
it's a lot of money for 115 horsepower
yeah and it's ridiculous
right so but then when you think
of you know the Peugeot 205 GCI
the Renault 5, the Golf GCI
whatever they might be
there's small cars that were everywhere
and as a 17, 18 year old you would have thought
oh my god that would be amazing if I had one of those
and now you go could I probably
I could probably afford one and you look at it and go
go fuck no no
the reason I've been at the age
thing is who these
current purchase of that Gullwing
which is
you know a lot okay for me
it's definitely a top five if money was
I think it would be in the garage for me
I love them right, I love the design
I love everything about them
the
not to give away too much on the channel
but who these like 15 years younger than me
yeah
I'm surprised that cars
on his list
at that bigger age gap
that's nearly a generation
yeah but aren't some cars
just timeless
timeless don't you know
why who's bought one
because the values are falling on the cars
well I mean I love that
car and that's way before my generation
as well like really
yep um yeah so I wouldn't make
a coveted coveted
you'll appreciate what a good car is right
but but I said
that would still be yeah probably on my
top five money no object
car list as well
so yeah I don't know I mean
for me I think that when you're saying the
time thing I think it's sort of
it's sort of got to a stage and then it stopped
it's like you see some old people
with the same haircut they had it
at 30 and then it's
the same haircut that forever
yeah
never goes out
yeah I'd love to say mine was by choice too as well
all the same music choice
you sort of keep listening
to new music and then it's like oh all this new stuff
and can you just want to listen to the same
classics like you sort of get to an age
and then it just stops yeah where is my Adam in the
end
yeah okay and like
I think after miles points partly relevant
where some cars transcend generations
and the 300SLs
clearly one of them like
you know 250 California because of Ferris
Bueller you know what I mean there's some cars
that will always be
you know on the dream
list for a lot of people but
I was just really surprised
that he bought that car
but he has had a lot of cars that would have been
on his list but he has had a Diablo
he has a Qantas he has had a
Bugatti you know
there's a little bit
so the YouTubers you know
you see a ton of stuff where they go I've bought this
blind and that's the clickbait right
I've bought this kind of blind and then you
go they don't buy cars
blind like I buy them blind
no no no
when they turn up and you go
oh my god what an absolute
heap of shit they don't
do that you've misinterpreted
the term blind you've just had 18
prosecco's when you've been on ebay
that's the type of blind you are
I've only done that twice
okay on a 912
and a 996
no you can have a Boxster at some stage
it was the Boxster
it was the worth Box turn
yeah
and when you go
when you see them and they go I bought this blind
but then you find out hang on
it's been in storage it's been really looked after
like the Qantas and the Diablo
that who have you bought
they were cars that were unused
but they were in fantastic
condition and of course he had to spend money
to get them going but
they were instantly worth almost double what
he paid for them
and that wasn't oh I've just taken a chance
on a defensive car he's
done something who's gone I cannot lose here
yeah
he's also his whole business model
is buying and selling cars
so like he's bought that going
and it doesn't mean
that he's going to be keeping it for the next
you know till he dies
four episodes yeah
yeah exactly like he buy and
keep it for a while make a few videos and then
when he can't make any more videos on it it may
like I don't know if it's a stream
but he may just move it on
it has to pay for itself
do you think he's going to get to a point
where
he's going to run out of people in Kansas that don't own
movie cars
because of how quickly he churns through
anyway enough about a YouTube we don't know
hasn't been on the channel
we need to get him on
yes we do actually
yeah I'll talk to him
okay give me a chat
hey movie
Jeff we really appreciate you taking the time
and having chat with us great to get an update on
how things are going
you know a little bit of
chatter outside of what your normal
posts and videos are like
it's nice to get the
a bit of information that would be on the second
Jeff channel if you made one
yes well I mean
I have plans for
you know bigger
grander things moving forward but
yeah everything's still in the
in the pipeline at the moment so
it's just
I'm always impressed by how
slightly I wanted to ask you this earlier
how you get your wife to get involved
like sometimes I have to get
my wife out just to pump the pedal so I can
leave the break like she's like
FML why are you making me do this
yes why don't you buy a better car
no actually
like she's
she's really good sport she has
very little interest in cars
she's you know
she doesn't like going on spirited drives
with me like she gets
car sick and yeah
but she's wait
are you dropping a bombshell here she does not
do the fun facts but
herself do the research and all of that
no research no
which is maybe why they were always bloopers
and everybody always
asks why don't you get a teleprompter
I'm like where would the bloopers be
if there was a teleprompter
I think
I think at the
look I've been in a fortunate position
to meet Mrs. Jeff
and she is a good sport
and I think that as long as it keeps
Jeff happy I think she'd be okay doing it
yeah look I think she's happy
sometimes she's like oh I'm exhausted
and we still have to film this
for today I'm like we've got to film it
like yeah
I've got to get edited and get it posted
on the weekend because I mean I'm very strict
on my timings
I'm very routine based so everything
has to be
ready at a certain time so
great
Hajmal any more questions
