Think it's time to build a new driveway 😂😂

@geniferteal4178 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I was a bit shocked to see the driveway when the alpha rari first pulled out.

@smavtmb2196 5 месяцев назад

I was just about to say new side project is the driveway.

@gishuk 5 месяцев назад

Yes! That driveway is a liability

@kevbarry7453 5 месяцев назад

Happy New Year. There must be a local concreter out there who is a fan and can give you a special New Year deal. Get it done...you won't regret it.

Adds value to his property also surely (unless it’s simply rented garage space)

@nostreamavailable9090 5 месяцев назад

I'd really love to see you make the boxter look all pretty like the other cars, especially with that cool hardtop, really would love to see you treat it to decent paintjob. Maybe even try your hand at wrapping. Anyways, happy New year to you and the good lady and the rest of the viewer's, God bless you and best wishes from the North West of England Jay 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤🇦🇺

If you ever need an external battery isolator don't move it, just add a remote cable to it. Very common in competition vehicles.

@mawe42 5 месяцев назад

Would work if it was an actual killswitch and not just a battery isolator. The engine would still run if you disconnected the battery.

@1one3_Racing 5 месяцев назад

Motorsport iso needs to be accessible from the driver's seat with the harness on and needs to shut down the engine. Then you run a cable so it can be accessed from outside and it needs to be on the left lower edge of the windscreen

The Rockster is cool!!! You will need a Racing brake system for the track. Original stock brakes will not least.

@woodzy575 5 месяцев назад

Awesome Jeff ! Redline lightweight shockproof gear oil is great at speeding up the shifts. works great in subaru 6 speeds to stop the notchy shifts. not cheap but worth it.

@boastyy 5 месяцев назад

Great job mate. The gear changes looked a bit tough, was wondering if something could be done to make them easier, would be worth it especially as you are using it at the track. Happy new year!

@hahaha9076 5 месяцев назад

Love the V8 in there. Great idea. I've been looking at PPRE engines lately. NZ bros doing rotary engines properly. Mad Mike uses them. A 3 rotor would fit easily in my boxster. 😊

@harrypapageorge9735 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for a big year of great content mate. You gave the channel a diverse platform for us to get the courage to have a go with our projects. Again thank you and all the best to you and Mrs Jeff for the new year. Can’t wait to see the effy start.👍

@benmason7620 5 месяцев назад

The Audi v8s do sound epic. My dad has a rs4 and it’s so tight a high tech sounding for a v8. That and the brakes are the only great things about actually 😅

@truthseeker8483 5 месяцев назад

Jeff's driveway needs more love........and some concrete 😁

@Tinker2006 5 месяцев назад

Sounds way better than before, looks like it goes way better than before too. Are you going to tidy up inside before first track day, as it looks like things are a bit loose behind you?

@jadamsnz 5 месяцев назад

Jeff, something that may be relevant to putting 18" wheels on: You may already know this but in case you don't, when I was researching putting some Cayman 18" wheels on my 1997 986 I came across a factory alert type notice that indicated that while 18" wheels fit the recommendation is to not drive the car hard (which I read as race) with them on. This warning applied only to the very first 986s so '96, '97 and maybe yours. I'm afraid I can't remember and haven't found the alert on the web again. My reading is that the suspension mounts weren't up to the task of handling the higher cornering loads that larger wheels might generate.

@trapjohnson 5 месяцев назад

How much merch do we need to buy so you can pave the driveway? ;)

@terminalpsychosis8022 5 месяцев назад

This is a very worthy project. Pure function. No need for pretty, just keep it (kinda) road legal. Some sound blanket in back would be good. hah Roxter sounds brutal.

@neilperry2224 5 месяцев назад

Saw your meeting with Larry Chen the photographer, car society recorder. I think you put yourself across well, and the history of the build with him. Why didn't you scuff the pins and spray them black, to match the pin catches.

@paulsabucchi 5 месяцев назад

Auguri di Felice Anno Nuovo (Happy new year how we say it here in Italy)

@jamieformosa7302 5 месяцев назад

i think you need to build a driveway lol thanks for the vid mate.

@andrewsmith4105 5 месяцев назад

I think (assuming it’s the same as the 987) there is another fan to exhaust hot air from the engine bay. Intended to stop the ancillaries from cooking themselves when the engine bay temps get too high. Might not be relevant to a track car but worth checking

@kevinhamling1963 5 месяцев назад

G'day Jeff, The bonnet certainly looks better. When you were on the test drive, you had a problem with 3rd gear. What was the outcome. So, thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.

@TheIzurex 4 месяца назад

Original 2.5 5-Speed still? You think it is adequate for the 4.2 and track use? Awesome build by the way!

@cedriclason9436 5 месяцев назад

Nice step for this build! Finally running! I always wonder if there is some leniency in Oz regarding driving with no plates in a unapproved prototype or if you're just crazy enough to risk your house and your license. In France it would be the latter but we all can be crazy enough to forget about what's at stakes.

@dra911 5 месяцев назад

No leniency in Oz at all, believe me. He's just lives in the sticks and takes his chances.

@georgebettiol8338 5 месяцев назад

I don't have easy access to the Audi V8s specs. However is 94 degrees C somewhat high for the 'switch-on' cooling fan temperature - especially for a car destined for track work?

@TalooshDaBoss 2 месяца назад

amazing build, do you think any larger of a dohc v8 would fit in it?

@bernardwarr4187 Месяц назад

What engine are you thinking?

@TalooshDaBoss Месяц назад

@@bernardwarr4187 glad you asked lol, top of the list would be nissan vk56 and toyota 2ur for really nice build and performance but extreme reliability even when pushed... after that really any high revving v8 would do well, bmw s65, gm lt6, ford coyote/voodoo/aluminator, amg m159, even any ferrari v8, I could keep going but anything beyond would be impossible to get

@Unimatrix69 5 месяцев назад

Holy crap, that bonnet is like a piece of wet pasta, no structural integrity at all.

The gear-changes then ?

Hi Jeff. Do you have link to the heavy duty wire crimps - would love to be able to sort my own battery leads - thanks for the video.

Sort the gear linkage before you stuff up something, it should be a quick fix?

@rjung_ch 5 месяцев назад

Is that still the original gearbox in the roxster or is it the Audi one?

@SkylarkCamperAdventures 5 месяцев назад

@nickduncan5933 5 месяцев назад

Could it be the power steering? I know there have been issues with it

@HomeBuiltByJeff 5 месяцев назад

It is new. I need to have a bit more of a look but I have an idea.

@williamholmes9129 5 месяцев назад

Did you put the kill switch on the negative connection just because it was easier or prefered to the positive?

@rjung_ch 5 месяцев назад

Most online forums mention connecting it to the negative side.

@boastyy 5 месяцев назад

I have used kill switches since the 80's and every guide I used said to install it on the negative side, perhaps there are specific cases where the positive side is used but I have not seen it.😀

@georgebettiol8338 5 месяцев назад

It's fitted to the negative terminal in order to eliminate the possibility of unintentionally re-energising the electical system - e.g. by connecting the top of the battery post and the car's body with - say a spanner.

@cestusfr 5 месяцев назад

please never drive without a firewall! If a high pressure fuel line pops, you could be dosed with fuel in the rolling car stuck in your 4 point harness. These are life changing injuries. Be safe, please. T___T

The ugly duck... That's a nice project to do some updates :)

@spinnetti 5 месяцев назад

Jeff, do you still have a "day job" or is RU-vid enough? Technically that setup isn't a "kill switch", its just a battery disconnect. What's that whining noise? belt problem or just alternator under load or? I sure love the sound of that motor! (I've got the 420hp version)

@1one3_Racing 5 месяцев назад

How come I didn't get a track invite? My car probably wont be ready, but still....

@bloodreighn 5 месяцев назад

I dont know why, but the engine sounds like its not revving freely, sounds like its fighting itself???

@MauriceMarshall-br2uy 5 месяцев назад

A lil dusty. I'd wash it before taking it in the shop..

@nictarver2988 5 месяцев назад

Cool project. Its giving me trauma flashbacks of doing engine swaps back in the day, and the endless issues that you run into! That being said, I would like to put a K24 into one of these for a street and track day car

@HomeBuiltByJeff 5 месяцев назад

The fact that the engine is in the middle is the biggest headache with the Boxster, just because it is difficult to get to things. If it was a front engine car it would have been much easier in a bunch of ways :D

@newtonfirefly3584 5 месяцев назад

@nictarver2988; Nic Tarver, if You view the BoostedBoiz channel, there is a video showing a fellow which visited them about a year ago with his Porsche Boxster/Cayman with a K-series [perhaps K-24] swapped engine. Kyle had recently bought his Cayman and stated his possible intention with a K-Swap to his also in the future. Also see Tuning with Nick in Toronto, Canada who has a K-swap kit for the Boxter & Cayman, also 911. Depending upon Your location, access, availability with engines, parts, components, ECU-ECM, etc. there are many options Also see Squonkwerks Garage Masserati f136 V-8 [4.2 L] swap in their Porsche Cayman convertible which they road, rally race; certainly other f136 versions including Ferrari f136 4.2, 4.5, 4.7 L with cross and single plane crankshafts; all DOHC All The Best, Sincerely @@HomeBuiltByJeff

@jadamsnz 5 месяцев назад

As a Boxster owner I both love this and hate it (in terms of loss of purity, but hey, it's being recovered from previous abuse). FWIW I put a "kill" switch on mine too but it's one that bolts to the battery terminal and the cable then connects to it. No need for a bracket and extra cable. Doesn't really allow you to take away the switch key like your one though.

@drum2102 5 месяцев назад

Please sort your driveway! A little form work, some steel and concrete would be easy work for you mate. Your cars deserve better!

@andli461 5 месяцев назад

Fake carbon should be criminalized. 😬😁 You might like to glue a couple of aluminium L-profiles to the inside of the bonnet. 🤔 I bet it will flex and vibrate like hell, and once air finds its way under it, all unexpected things starts to happen. Vibrations/moving is not just annoying, it has negative aerodynamic effects and finally things risk to break. 🫣😊 Looking forward to see this build evolve over time when you find out what needs fixing and improvement. 👍

@boastyy 5 месяцев назад

Yeh was thinking the same thing, the bonnet could do with some reinforcement as its so thin and flexible. Would also hold its shape better when the bonnet is lifted.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 5 месяцев назад

I will see how it goes. If it is an issue I will do something about it.
