rev up your engines here we go 3d printing has reached new insane
heights for a real fancy McLaren they now have 3d printed wheels that way a
little bit less so you can accelerate faster the less mass in the wheel the
less resistant so faster you're gonna accelerate now it doesn't it affect the
top-end speed it's still gonna go the same top-end it's just gonna get there
fast but they come out with is they have these carbon-fiber barrels for the wheel
and then titanium spokes that are printed with a 3d machine now this
isn't your normal 3d printer that's using plastic resin you're not gonna be
printing these in your house this is done on a very fancy machine that's
using titanium to print the spokes so you try making one at home out of that
plastic resin and put it on something that's got 800 horsepower they break off
as soon as it started to accelerate it's called direct metal laser melting where
the lasers melt the stuff and then they print them up I mean we're talking about
really complex actual space-age stuff here so don't think any time soon you're
gonna be able to get printed titanium wheels for your Corvette or something
it's gonna be a long time before the public actually gets us if ever it's
probably so ineffective that no one's gonna do it anything but you know they
made one from McLaren and one of those super expensive race cars that's kinda
interesting that they can now print titanium wheels who knows what they're
gonna come up with next but like I said at what cost
orange Arthur says Scotty I found a 2006 Subaru WRX four-cylinder turbo and
an auction with 130 3,000 miles and it means new front clip forget it one never
buy an auction car if you're gonna drive it yourself there's an option because
there's something wrong with them that thing's been smashed up on top of it
it's a turbo boxer engine the engine might be on its way out too don't ever
buy a car at auction that's bashing it the only guys that should buy auction
cars are pros I got friends that are pros they go to an auction and they got
maybe eight grand they might buy four or five cars for
eight grand and then they turn them selling of them for
five grand even if they get a lemon they're still coming out ahead and since
they're pros they almost always have a little contract going with the auctions
that say well the mechanic says that is this needs more repairs than what you
paid we'll give you credit you give us the car back and that will give you
credit at the auction now they don't get their money back but they get credit and
then they go buy another one so it's a business and they can make money doing
it but there's too much gambling involved in you buying one especially
one that's got rack work and it's a Subaru turbo with that kind of mileage
stay away from options especially Subarus that have been in
auctions, joe bob 71 says 07 Ford Edge automatic transmission put it
in reverse it doesn't do anything I put it in partner back and reverse it works
your transmission is starting to go out and generally when it does that it means
that the oil pump is starting to go out automatic transmissions lose most of the
ones I've ever worked on like the engines they got oil pumps on them the engine
oil pump pumps oil to the engine to lubricated the automatic transmission
oil pump pumps the fluid to build up pressure cuz it shifts by fluid
pressure dynamics so it's got to have pressure buildup so it works and from my
experience with those things when the pump starts to go that's exactly what
happens you put it in reverse it won't work put it back into Park warm it up a
little and put it back into reverse it starts to work yep you're lucky it can
be somewhat clogged you can change the filter change the fluid pray that fixes
if it does great with somewhat clogged up if it doesn't change it at all that
means that it's just starting to go out 13-year old Ford Edge do you really want
to put you know three to five in or doing a transmission over but hey change
the filter fluid you never know sometimes I've done that may go back to
normal for quite some time cars 90s says do you think a lexus
can go up to 300,000 miles think I know I got customers with 500,000 miles on
them here's the thing those are highly engineered luxury vehicles and they can
go pretty fast so if you don't drive uber fast all the time they can
basically last forever if you change the oil regular you get something that can
go 140 miles an hour let's say you barely drive 70 it's gone you know lots
to half speed so of course is gonna that's a long time it's like guys with
motorcycles is it well can this motorcycle ask me and I explained to him
okay you got a motorcycle and that can go 180 miles an hour let's say
the fastest you ever go is maybe 80 miles an hour that thing was so over
designed to go 180 miles an hour if you're driving around 50 60 all the time
if you don't smash it up it can basically last forever because it's
designed to go super fast and if you don't go super fast it can really last a
long time it was like sisters yes change they all regularly maintain them they
can last a really long time because they're designed so well almost all of
them are made in Japan where they're still making the best vehicles even the
Japanese the ones they're making the United States they've had problems with
some of the stuff that they've done there and had to have recalls on engines
and things but the ones that they make in Japan they're better made and most of
lexuses are still made in Japan, gerome b16 says Scotty I need help
people tell me I need mental help cuz I bought a used Infiniti wtih a blown engine I
payed around 4 grand for it you are crazy
you know we're running it's not even worth 4 grand
with 140,000 miles on it I tell people infinities are endless money pits as
they age with high mileage and of course their quality has been going downhill
since infinities are just fancy Nissan's Renaults owns them and the quality's
been going downhill for a couple of decades now that is not a vehicle that
you buy you just don't buy those things used I mean if somebody handed one free
and it ran but I mean that they had a blown engine you shouldn't even have
bought it in the first place I wouldn't even take a car like that personally if
someone handed it to me with the blown engine says no I don't want it I just
have to have it towed to a junkyard I don't want to mess around with it's not
worth the bother always use your head when it comes to a vehicle don't use
your emotions don't do something like oh look it's a beautiful Jaguar it just
needs a little few repairs no probably needs all kinds of expensive repairs
don't buy a car like that but hey at least it's a lesson learned but do make
it a lesson learned don't ever do it again
I spent says my 2000 Ford Mustang 3.8 when the cars parked and I started it
smells like gas on the outside of the rear two things you can check one soon
as you started quit go back to the tailpipe or have somebody
I'll start it and stand by the tailpipe and smell it there
it's the smells coming out of the tailpipe that means your cars running
rich and you got a problem like a leaking fuel injector for some reason
the cars flooding out now when you start it up there's too much gas in the engine
and it's gonna burn out but the other thing is let's say it's not the tailpipe
itself it's just the whole general back area
cars have evap systems and instead of the gasoline vapors like when I was a
young mechanic were just vented to the cap to the atmosphere that's seen as
pollution these days it goes through the system the evap system and goes through
the charcoal canister which is supposed to filter out the gasoline and fresh air
comes out you know it smell it if that charcoal canister is bad or the EVAP
canister vent valve is stuck open you'll also smell the gas so you want to
check that too air 626 says scotty I got a chrysler 300m and it
won't start I don't know what's wrong with it there's a new battery when a car
doesn't start watch my video fixing a car the cranks but doesn't start up you
can see absolutely everything to test the basics are you want to see first
does it have fuel and does it have spark so the easiest thing to do is you go to
any auto parts store for like two dollars by can of starting fluid take
the air filter cover off have someone crank the engine while your spray
starting fluid in the law if it starts and dies odds are you got a bad fuel
pump and you can have that tested if you'll bump bad if don't start when
you're starting fluid in then what you want to do is just take out one of the
spark plug wires and put a spark plug on it ground it against the engine have
somebody crank it and see if it's sparking if it's not sparking then you've lost your
ignition system and common things for that or a bad crankshaft position sensor
or a bad ignition coil you gotta figure out why it's not starting
like I said watch my video fixing the kind of cranks what doesn't start up if
you try all those things and they're all actually working then you probably have
the worst thing on earth which would be like a blown head gasket something's
blown inside the engine and the engine will never start again and unless it's
fixed but normally it's one of the tests that's in that video so check that out
first, crazy outlaw says is a 2008 Toyota
Solara convertible with 55,000 miles and one owner as good as the Camrys oh yeah
there were great vehicles you know they're pretty much the same engine the
v6 Camry engine transmission, brakes, they were just a sedan
they failed because people were going either four-door now SUVs and then
they stopped making them 2008 was the last year that they made to Toyota
Solaras if you like it you know they're great vehicles now some people think
that they're really ugly with the top down because of their design that they
just think they're ugly now if you like the look of it hey go ahead and buy one
you find one with 55,000 miles it's got tons of life I just worked on one
yesterday and it had 260 thousand miles and it still ran like a clock that can
last a long time just got him a marketing failure with Toyota they were
great cars didn't have any particular problems really, smart says Scotty is there a
car cam or something like I can use without the need to hardwire to my car
so if my car's hit it'll take a picture of it oh yeah there's zillions I'm go to
ebay go to Amazon start googling it you'll see there are tons of them out
there how they were car you want to get one that has the built in G sensor and
what happens is if somebody hits the car it bumps the G sensor turns the camera
on it films the whole thing just look up and find them I've seen them from fifty
to ninety five dollars look at the reviews pick the ones with the best
reviews but yes they are and you can just plug them into the cigarette
lighter you don't want Hardware something you just plug it on cigarette
lighter lithium-ion batteries to hold the charge for a reasonable amount of
time so as long as you drive the car a lot it'll still have enough battery
power to take a picture if somebody hits it while they're going out if you're
gonna do that my advice is get the dual cameras that have front back because you
know you're gonna get in the front of the back the cameras point in front and
it films that they're in the back it's no good so get the dual camera set up
for that, so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
