After a Month of Trying to Fix my Aston Martin, we found a $500 Part FAULTY Straight from the Dealer 

I'll buy it

It’s so funny! Sam says ‘I hate it’. And the whole time he’s barely able to keep back a huge smile. The look in his eyes when gassing that thing done his driveway… priceless.

If only there were some sort of device you could install to muffle the sound....a muffler if you will

When Sam disses an Aston and gets so excited by an electric scooter, I really begin to question his sanity! Is this the evolution of Florida-man??? And given the type of rescuing that Sam does, why didn't he rescue the Aston from its current state instead of just slagging it off as a "bad car"??

I'm in love with the sound. I'd keep it, but what do I know, my summer car is a ZX2.

Making irrational choices that work!! Thanks for your great series. Terrific sense of humor. And the ability to even Rich rebuild look like he makes sense. This has gotta be one of my favorite RU-vidrs. My best to Shane. LoL

thanks Sam, you got me looking at used Japanese volvos

07:40 “feels stable” while mirror is flying around hahahahaga

I use Ace Armature Company in providence RI, they rebuild alternators, starters, even rewound electric motors for me. One time i brought in a burnt up Italian brushless motor for a boat anchor windlass, i told them it was Italian and brushless, and the owner told me " if it's electric and spins we can fix it."

That Aston may have a 'ticket me first' exhaust, but it definitely wins in looks over the purple Lambo, IMO.

I like how the Aston sounds and it looks like it pulls

There's a fuse on the Aston not sure which one but if you take it out it keeps the exhaust bypass open all the time, check it out, if it is missing put it back in and it will keep it quiet.

Fun fact from Sweden, Koppla means, to connect, or to wire

The 360 alternator casing is similar in shape to Komatsu and some other varied denso applications I wonder if they have used it for other automotive application just changing the part number...

Put some flaps that stay closed until 4000 rpm or something

Mannnn Sam I want that XFR soooo bad, I’d baby it. Look at my name. Ima Jag guy

USA: 4$ per gallon - Crazy expensive!!! Fuel economy!!! Europe: 5.5$ to 7$ per gallon - Well, it is quite expensive nowadays.

Dear Mr Samcrac & Team !! Superb Vlog !! .....Bless

India gets a very good electric scooter from OLA called the S1. It has huge hype and costs like 2k$ here has a 160km/h top speed and more range.

Mike singer or singer alternators builds very good high output alternators if needed. I think you can send in yours to have it built but I don’t wanna speak for him

The rooster is in charge, Grumpy old man - join the club, I think I would buy the Aston but have some special exhaust to shut it up

Beautiful collection been watching you for years. Can i ask what you sold the jag XFR for and how many miles were on it? Best James

I had a nightmare with a BMW 530 water cooled alternator. Had it rebuilt 3 times and it failed. Replaced it with one off of the shelf at AutoZone and never saw the car again.

8:20 That key sticking out like that. That's a shame. Way to exposed. They should redesign that. Put it on the steering column or whatever.

I'm 47 years old and I like loud exhaust. To each their own.

That's the same exact bike scotty Kilmer just bought...he gave it his approval so I think u got a winner

Sam, I found your videos several weeks ago and I really like them. Plus, they've opened up a lot of your friend's videos that I like as well. I do not, by any means "wrench every day" but I did take some auto shop classes in high school and can kind of keep up with what you do, though I am amazed at how easy you make it look. I do have a question for you: Why after you finished a project do your cars sometimes have the check engine light and tire pressure light illuminated? I assume you fix those issues before you sell them, but I am just curious as to why these are still illuminated yet you consider it a finished product. Please do not imply this as criticism, I am just curious of these are minor issues that you are aware of or just the fact that you changed things around that these will be lit until the car is kaput.

I actually just bought a C6 for 15.5k a week ago. Looking forward to seeing more videos on yours!

That freestyle tho 🔥😂

Thanks for showing all the cars. The only question I have is how big of the lot you have on your property? It looked huge!

Cheap Ali express moped, 3800 bucks, incredible. Obviously a collaboration..

with all of that youtube money rolling in, you would think sam would build a pavilion to keep those cars in better shape.

I love it.....the Austin....one of the most beautiful cars ever designed.....in my opinion

I think I test drove that aston maybe 10 years ago. If it is, it's the muffler. switch it out reduce the noise. cocky used car salesman wanted me to buy without a test drive, as I walked he agreed. muffler so loud gave me a headache.

If I had the dough, I'd buy it just for the exhaust, it sounds awesome! 😁👍✌

Toyota Solaris , I had a 93 Lexus SC 400 that looked just like that

Sam, can you elaborate on the reliability of the C63s AMG? I recently bought a 2019 and i love it. I can feel its reliable, but would like to get your thoughts on it. Thank you for your time and great content!

It would have to be the Jaguar for sure. That thing is an absolute beast and at that price it's just nuts!

Whoever gets that BMW 335i, make sure they know how to work on BMW. Great fast car but constant fault codes weekly lol

I’ll take the S4 or possibly the XF. I can come anytime to pick it up, I’m local here in Pasco county. I also sent an email 😊

Aston Martin sounds like it has free flowing exhaust… Changing the exhaust would kill ALL that noise

The B8 S4 sounds great for that price.

The Aston Martin is the car I would buy.

hey sam in denmark the price for a gallon is about 7,31usd

I would go for the aston martin!!!! The price is good...although i'm very far away ( i live in portugal ) but in here a Vantage S V8 costs around 90.000€ to 120.000€ wich in direct coin convertion is about 102 tousand dollars to 136 tousand dollars.....wich means its expensive

Is the muffler shot? Can you try a quieter muffler?

Get a RYFT exhaust for it, there’s a white vantage V8 with it and it sounds amazing, high pitch and smooth, not raspy and shit like yours 😂

Samcrac attempting to drive this thing out of the box while still set in the rear wheel styrofoam block has gotta be the most Samcrac thing i’ve seen in recent memory 😂 My favorite car of yours is the Audi R8. Never in a million years sell it, because that’s my dream car and they are beyond gorgeous and sound amazing.

alternater rebuild Willis 45 th street north Saint Petersburg !

Check engine light is still lit on the AM ?

Lmao love the drake rap. Also love the sounds that aston makes, haha

I'd be very happy with $4 US per US gallon (3,7l) for premium. I paid €1,92 per liter for cheap E10 today. That's $8,52 US per US gallon. And that's one of the cheapest gas stations as well.

I freaking hate cars that loud. They're obnoxious and inconsiderate. That thing just needs a better exhaust system.

So if you're scared of your neighbors then why not pull the aftermarket exhaust system off the Aston and sell it , it should help off set the cost of either going back stock or to a less open system either way you'll wind up with a known exhaust that you can work with to set up your tune around .

The AMG, that thing sounded nasty and has some very tasteful mods

Essentially your issue is with the non standard exhaust and the non standard engine mapping. I see a pattern here . Out the box that's a decent car you got for a rock bottom price.

Hm. You've installed an exhaust on the S7 particularly because you wanted it to be louder, didn't you? Couldn't you, like, just install a quieter exhaust? 🤷🏻‍♂️

$3,400 for the electric bike is actually a good deal

Car is too loud, and the "service emissions system" is lit. Sounds like someone cat-deleted the car. I'm sure aston wants $5k for that...

Tavarish will pick it up and add a mid muffler / silencer and a rear muffler and daily it. ha ha ha! Just throw a full OBX system on it and call it a day.

That car sounds amazing

Hope you sell some of them, makes no sense to have your yard filled with depreciating assets that are just collecting leaves and UV damage.

Okay I want that bike. That would be perfect for small trips around my town.

Rather have the Aston over that Corvette! Maybe I'd fix the exhaust issue, but in a sportscar I prefer a manual over an automatic!

I’ve always wondered why you park the cars all over the farm in random spots?

Ay man straight pipes save lives😂

It’s all right looks like way to much plastic though/ wrap it with carbon fiber tape atleast

Ugh. That Aston sounds terrible. Don't blame you for getting rid. Feel a bit sorry for it though, thoroughly abused by a previous knucklehead owner with more money than sense.

Live in California, highest gas I have seen is $5.09 for premium. Trump said that, however that is NOT TRUE!

4dollars a gallon for premium fuel XDDDD LOL!!! In the UK the premium costs £2 per LITTRE

The people who tune that car is Project’A Miami

I love the sound!

honorable business model. fix it just enough and as cheap as possible then pawn it off to the next clown.

Keep the Vantage and let Sage use it as a company car :)

Talk to Tavarish,he’ll take care of that

Only cars in your collection that are reliable (in general) are the Porsche and the Ford ...(if you still have it) I have a 996 GT3 as a daily driver and often do trackdays here at Zandvoort circuit (equiped with a cage and all).....Virtually NEVER a problem....brakes and tires....that's it.

Did you just criticise an Aston Martin for being undrivable because some clown fitted a really crap exhaust? Come on guys get real. Fit an OEM exhaust and THEN go for a drive. If its cheap enough I would take it. And TEHN replace that crap exhaust.

I would take the Aston in a heart beat!! I'm 55 and still are it and wake up the neighborhood!!

Can you make a highly modificated toyota? I mean you can push it to 800 hp

Haven't bought an alternator for years but the last time you had to hand in your faulty one to get some money off the replacement which was normally a refurb anyway, sure the terminology was 'exchange unit'. Shame if they don't do this these day's anymore.

The 500hp Audi. Got a tundra I’d do some trading with you.

Have you thought it needs the suspension checked updated

Id totally take that BMW. That thing looks sick.

Aston Martin did a perfect job with V8 vantage...as it was out of the box.. if you mess with it, you lose what it originally was. Drive a totally stock one and you will love it. Unfortunately this one was always a weird over the top tasteless car. You have done a good job making it look alot better...fit a stock exhaust...sounds lovely, but not overly noisy. That thing is far to shouty for an Aston...class and understated is what an Aston is about.

Not gonna lie...I thought you bought a fed ex semi truck for a second. I wish I could afford that aston, good job with it

Astons are classy cars, at least before some clown gets hold of it and ruins it with tasteless mods.

Hey Sam, how about for a future project do a cheap run around ... the type of car the average Joe could buy and fix up?

Being younger I do like the sound the Aston makes, however, a GT car like that shouldn’t be a monster, it should have a deep sonorous note but quiet below 3k. That’s what’s right for a car like that

It’s so weird seeing videos with Sam driving in them. Cause not many of his projects are drive worthy 😂

Great vid Sam! Here's my two cents: As for the 612 - If I lived closer, I'd come help with that clutch job! Drop in OE Valeo clutch, flywheel and F1 sensor and that thing will scream! No killing that engine or tranny. Both are bulletproof. The rebuilt clutches are fine but with the front engine/piston accumulator setups, they just have a hell of a break in cycle and the clutch parameters in the NCR need too many adjustments to get them to work right. Also you mentioned gearbox fluid in the actuator - I think you meant F1 fluid. The gearbox fluid never sees that actuator. Make sure you use Pentosin CHF-11S in the F1 system and the proper gearbox fluid in the gearbox. Also, don't be quick to diagnose the actuator - those don't wear out unless something else goes wrong. I'd test the bleed rates on the EV solenoids and run a grid pattern on a true SD3 to test the accuracy of the actuator. As for the 360, the alternators are rebuildable for about $200 with commercially available parts. I WARN YOU though, the actual Denso parts are no longer available so the rebuilders are sourcing Chinese parts. Even their suppliers won't tell them where they come from. I rebuilt a few and they only lasted about 5K miles. I replaced with the OEM and it lasted the rest of the life of the car.

Sam buy a damn lift instead of electric mopeds!!!

The removable battery is also so you can take it inside and charge it. A lot of parking areas in China don’t have power

That's the fastest thing Sam has put together lol. Nice ride Sam

Did you forget the Exhaust Headers? Lol. 2006 on V 8 Vantage one of the best sounding V8's ever made.

Astons, barring a few specials and the like, are really GT cars and always have been, not sports cars. It's designed to eat miles in comfort and style and be rapid rather than out and out super fast or a track weapon. Putting daft tunes on it and removing the cats/mufflers is completely counter productive (well, obviously a previous owner didn't think so!), but don't think of it as a sports car but as a tourer and it will make more sense. But I get if you just aren't digging it, that's fair play and it's still given some good content so that's all good.

that aston would do it for me... put some high flow cats back on and some mufflers to quiet it down. its supposed to be a lux cruiser, a gt car, not sound like a garbage truck on it deathbed...

Return the shifter cables to Aston. That said your expression whilst driving the Aston doesn't quite fit with "this is terrible" :-)! See David Blalock's comment below - might be a simple fix to stop the noisy exhaust.

If I could afford to pick it up and send it my way I would take that B8 S4. The whole collection is a blast to see though

Seriously need to put up a good sized building/shop on the property to park and work on all of the builds... 💯🎯

Rebuilding an alternator is definitely possible. I have a guy locally I use frequently for that
