look up David Icke, the guy said that lizard people are real and brought them to attention in modern media. I have a DISCERNMENT playlist on my channel and I researched a lot of this, I'm not saying that this is real (for obvious reasons) but if only half of this is true, there could be a race of shape-shifting lizard people among us. They aren't aliens though, they are basically modified full-sized homunkulus and their origin goes back to the Denisovans, who discovered an ancient envoy which gave them a lot of information and advanced technologies. They were able to do RNA-sequencing on lizards and after decades of breeding attempts a fetus survived carrying reptiloid genes. They lack empathy and are very obedient which makes them perfect tools, like a sleeper agent from birth onwards. Also, since humans obviously don't lay eggs, they are open for fetal intervention so their gender can be inverted in-utero. Of course this is all just hypothetical, I'm just joking whatever...

Your shop looks great. What an amazing assortment of vehicles you have on display.

Your vids are among the highlights I enjoy each day on YT, always enjoyable my friend!

We just had that problem in our 2012 Volkswagen Passat and change it works now !!! --Thanks Wizard !!!

Great video, thank you! I have a 2000 in Grigio Titano, almost identical to the one in the video. Just passed 45,000 miles and love it!

I haven't been around many modern Ferraris but I have worked on and played around with some vintage Ferraris like 308s, before the prices went crazy, and if I remember correctly they also shared at least a few parts like switches and ignition lock cylinders/key blanks with Fiats.

You bought back some memories! Way back long long ago as a young engineer coming from university the Motronic ME7.3H was the first project i learnt/worked on as a HW test developer. Same ECU was also sold to other 4cyl Fiat and Alfa engines. So beware of the alien tecnology LOL! 😁🛸🛸🛸

Beautiful machine but that rear wing...

Great video would love to see a smoke test done, also can we see a video on that fox body mustang in the background?

Great another vid !

This was the first exotic i sat in as a child (born in 99) and since have learnt to love these calmer looking ferraris. This and the F430 are some of the best looking cars ever. 🤤❤

I'd love to see more repair videos, diagnosing, etc

Great video!

I'd want to DD a 1996 of 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. However, those Modenas have always been one of my favourite Ferraris. Very cool. Nice to see it's being so well taken care of.

Im glad Car Wizard documents the repairs on Ferrari's and Lamborghini's.

Don't most people take their Ferraris in when the light goes off, that's probably more worrying

great vid m8

Love seeing you on cartrek!!!

As much as these cars cost and how much performance they are capable of you’d think they would make some of these components a bit more durable.

car manufactures make their money from parts especially ferrari cars they sell way better when they are serviced at ferrari so they make even more money

I just played the Ferrari 360 tournament in Forza Motorsport. How odd for this to come out right after.

So glad that this one gets driven!

That 360 got a lucky escape from catching fire and it's good that the owner drives it loads exactly good for the car as well

Nice video once again, Wizard. Is that a BMW I see in your shop? What will the Ninja say? All jokes aside, from what I see of it, that 3 series is what my 328i looks like. Mine is also Glacier Silver and Sport Line (black trim and mirrors). I have the same wheels as well.

Hey Car Wizard, I like the clear plastic covers on the cars in the background, where do you get those and are they specific per make and model? thanks in advance.

those airflow sensors look suspiciously similar to the ones VW used to have on mid-90`s to mid-00`s TDI cars Quick google search on the bosch number says a 360 mass airflow sensor is the same one on a bunch of BMWs

Ultra luxury cars are all like that. You can find copious amounts of audi parts on ultra high end vw family vehicles. Or Toyota parts on Lexus, etc ..it gets even more strange when you look at companies like range rover who uses Ford engines in some models. Lots of other arrangements like that. You are certainly paying extra for the name in that case but its still also a good thing for part availability as the car ages. I'd consider it a huge perk not to have to buy a ferrari manufactured part vs a less expensive manufacturer.

A lot of cars share similar stuff, sometimes even entire platforms, it's usually if they are under control of one group (VW group has everything from Volkswagen and Audi, to Lamborghini and Bugatti, that's why you can find an Audi with a lambo engine) or have a partnership on a specific model (Toyota and BMW on the new Supra... It's a Toyota Supra, but probably over 60% of it is actually BMW parts)

Thanks for the tour of his exquisite Ferrari.

Can you show us how to do a smoke test? I have a BMW535 which has had vacuum leaks in the past. I was able to find them manually but would like to see how you did a proper smoke test.

it should be re-labeled as the "Check Bank Balance" light

Great video. I am also just starting to get a fuel smell so I assume it’s the fuel pump as you mentioned. I also have an ‘01 with 23k miles

Nice catch on the fuel leak. Thinking to go check mine now.

Left rear outer CV boot had a small split in it, might be worth checking front side of it again. Nice vid, thanks

The Car Wizard being able to compare a Ferrari to a Kia Rondo is why I keep coming back for more.

1962 F85 Oldsmobile station wagen ---------- Awesome super car!!!

Good video. Same car that I have. The best advice I can give, maintain the car, and do it in a shop where the person running the shop makes his living working on cars like this. When you take a car like this to a shop you will be paying for two things. The mechanics brains, and his knowledge built up over years of experience.

Imagine if Ferrari used parts from Aisin Warner and Koyo instead of Fiat.

That car looks as modern today as any new Sports car. Love it!

This was one of my favorite eras for Ferrari, the 360 and 456.

Hey Mr wizard. Car looks nice. Would have liked to see the smoke test. Do you think you could show the hook up in the follow up video so I can do mine? I have an evap code I can't fix. Also be wary of the cam belts, they need to be changed every 3 years and they cause big costs if one let's go! Keep up the great vids!

Great looking car with period-correct mods. Nice to know it get exercised often too!

9:25 Is that the Hoovie Merc from Car Trek 2?

354k subs!?!?!?!?!?!! Great job Mr. & Mrs. Wizard

"What supercar would you like for a daily driver?" A De Tomaso Pantera with a few upgrades for better reliability and braking. Don't think getting parts would be to much of an issue, which would be something important to consider if it was a daily. Sure a Lamborghini or Ferrari would be nice, but getting parts could prove challenging. Daily drivers break and most people like myself would rather not have to wait long before getting it back on the road. VT247

I've thought for many years that it would be handy for shops if there was a master cross reference guide available that that gave viable alternatives for all those vendor supplied parts the Wizard mentioned.

I live in Sweden Stockholm and I remember racing those Modena 360 against my z3m coupe.

Us cognoscenti know that the real Alien Tech cars are Citrôens.

Dear Wizard - at 8:23 - is there a tiny split starting in the CV boot - the corrugation nearest the wheel? It's only visible for a moment as a darker line. Beautiful car BTW

That corrado you had in there was probably harder to work on lol

For some reason I just really prefer the 360 Modena to its replacement, the F430. Something about the styling on the 360 just speaks to me, in terms of looks its my favorite V8 Ferrari.

The hardware may not be all that special, but the wrapper fits a lot tighter. When a huge percentage of service procedures start with "remove engine", you know you're not working on a Chrysler minivan.

MoDEna - with accent on DE, it is a city in Italy, so MoDEna. Great video! Cheers ;)

Unlike some other Ferraris from around this era, the 360 is still absolutely gorgeous. I think I even prefer it to the 430. Not sure about those polished looking rims, but other than that, I would happily daily that car if I had the money.

how do you cross reference a part? i've been having troubles with my 2006 daihatsu terios, is built with toyota bits which are supoded to be easy to find but the problem is i can't find any cross reference information, for example, the power windows switches looks just like a toyota part but i can't make any sense of the part number vs a toyota number

Hi Wizard !!! Question...i heard with mid rear engines that its best to have the short arm of the lift on the rear of the car where most of the weight is ? I notice you have it the other way around....many new C8 Corvettes have fallen off lifts because of this...was that information incorrect ? Would love to hear your take on it....thank you

Do you need to jack the Modena up before getting the lift arms under the chassis?

I think the biggest thing that the Wizard has done for "normal" folks is to make them not only less scared to work on "exotic" cars.... but cars in general. I was starting, more and more, to feel like the systems in the cars I owned were beyond me.... but this has given me the confidence to at least SEE if I can fix it myself. The whole mantra of taking your time and thinking of it like any other car is huge. I do have some okay mechanics in the area when things ARE too much for me, but it's empowering to remember that .... yeah.... I'm still that guy who kept all his cars running with a few screwdrivers and a socket set all those years ago.

hello sir , i have a 360 ferrari and when i jack it up , it starts to rock back forth , what lift points do you use in the front ??

What I have found from these cars as I decided whether or not to get one as a project is that these "super cars" are not produced in mass enough to warrant mass production testing and reliability. They know the cars will not be driven very much, and when they break down the owners should have a lot of money to take it to the dealer. Some items like brakes and the engine are complex and engineered okay, but the rest is every corner cut to find something already on the market that works just as you said. Its so much easier to grab another engine from a salvage yard on a mustang than deal with these over-priced foreign units. The 360 is the oldest I care for that still looks modern, and at just over 400hp it's not that impressive vs a supercharged mustang. There are also many problems like their fuel tanks and their location that have caused many of these to burn. Just not enough units produced to find all the common issues cars have. It seems a lot of people also want Ferrari dealership paperwork for maintenance- I'm sure that is a preference, but enough to chase me away since I would do all the maintenance myself. Still a beautiful car.

the 512 testarossa I showed on my channel cost 14 000$ for rear brake and calipers, and a battery at the Ferrari dealership this week.....

That fuel pump housing is the same as my Alfa Romeo 156 twin spark. Same issue. Just dry it out, scuff it with 100grit sand paper and use epoxy glue. I used Bison metal epoxy, and after 3 years and 150 000 km without problem.
