The gentle approach and a ticking clock gives this video a hint of Allen Millyard, which can't be bad. Thanks for making it.

great job! another way to tell with components is the longer leg is typically positive.

Listening to this while I install ITB's on my 944.

Nice job BJ 👍👌❤️

Nice fix BJ! A broken clock seems to be required for a classic car though!😂 As already pointed out, cheap de-soldering braid is a must and be sure to use rosin flux, not acid flux (that is for copper plumbing).

A tool I use for desoldering was a gift from a friend who used to do circuit board work. Go look for a “solder sucker”. Once the solder melts you put the tip next to it and press a trigger that releases a pre-sprung plunger inside and POOF solder is cleared from the surface and the component will come out easily. That’s for the episode BJ, we know how busy you are 😁👍🏻

great job on a somewhat taxing chore..lessons learned a long the way..but satisfaction is the goal achieved..plus i really dig the MOMO..adds a flair to the interior..

once again attention to detail..i suffer from wanting everything to work on my vehicles..you have an OCD character in your work..it is a passion i say...

Get yourself some desoldering braids / wicks, but well done

Hi buddy

I hope that ramp is anchored, welded or pinned and not just sitting in place. I know what you mean about the cost of storage, Most people do not realize the cost incurred by a car just sitting inside and not being used, Things still malfunction even though it just sits, insurance still needs to be paid, and things get bumped into and scratched in a crowded shop. That is not a cheap car and will be loved by whoever owns it.

Thank you so much for sharing! It is pitty that you did not explain how to unplug the "upper left" plug. That cost me two hours yesterday, to find out.😀 I did have to remove the insturments first and I am wondering how you did it without this. That would heva been impossible for me. 😲 Anyway, is it possible to replace these LEDs with yomething brighter or with a different color? Thank you! 🙂

Just took delivery of a 2024 XLT Hybrid. Getting rid of a 1992 D150 i have owned for 23 years.

Just for looks good?

I just got my 2024 XLT equipped exactly the same except for the color (carbonized grey metallic). Already got a tri fold tonneau cover installed, ordered custom seat covers, installed a dash pad, interior accessories, etc. Still have to install the mud flaps and the LED turn signal bulbs in the front. Thinking about getting different wheels and tires too. Just over 200 miles on mine!

I’d never seen the baking soda + super glue trick. Love it. I must have been living under a rock. Cheers

I saw you using your JIS screwdriver on the dash. It’s just because you’re tool kit is Honda focused isn’t it😂

Need to know if I can add a bigger gas tank to my 24 maverick XL or add one in the bed

I’m getting ready to do this to mine, did you have any issues with getting it aligned afterwards?

Hi awesome video, i kinda have lil similar problems on my "brand new" 924/944... the temp gauce works kinda bad (it raise very very quickly to the danger zone...but everything works soo it's probably the gauge or dirt problem?). the temp gauge and fuel gauce "dances" if i put the headlights on and off...soo maybe some grounding problems idk?? And the last one problem, the AC switch like yours doesn't work :( I checked behind ofc it has replaced in the past but maybe again some wiring problems maybe not into the switch, but into the AC motor? If someone have some suggestions just tell me 😭 btw wheel and leds are just awesome!!

What did you put on the contacs after you cleaned them? Good videos, Keep it up!

That Momo wheel is awesome!! I've used a screwdriver bit heated by a torch to quickly melt a slot on a plastic post to spread it a little similar to your application.

Just picked up a 1987 924S. Got the factory seats back in. Probably needs engine mounts , as well as general maintenance. The belt and pump were changed, but I have no idea when. .. . The previous owner removed the stock shift handle, so it wobbles.. need that, wipers have to time them on downstroke to shut off, or they stop exactly where they are at 😅. Oh well, I hope im fast learner

I want to do this but I'm worried on how it affects the ride. Do you bottom out with passengers? Does the suspension still have enough play for a smooth ride? Thanks

You're an inspiration, man.

I like those phone dialer wheels. Did the 924S have them as an option? I thought I saw them on a 944/928.

I used to love driving my dad’s 124 that he bought new. The car was just so well balanced and fun to drive. Once that steering is corrected it will change the car big time. It sounds a little louder than I remember on the interior. You’re doing great! 👍🏻

Those little devils will drive you nuts with electrical gremlins. Nicely done with the diagnostics BJ 👍🏻

I used a small pilot bearing slide hammer and they came out in seconds 😁

😂😂😂 Crazy Train😂😂

Do you know What the core issue was? Did the wire get damaged or anything else? I could potentially have the same issue on mine

Cool channel! I actually painted a 924 in a basement garage in Oslo some 20 years ago. Colour was silver truck paint with no clearcoat. Cant believe we did that. My buddy later sold this running project car, I remember he said most of the undercarriage was VW golf.

Why was the seal leaking ,, why 😢😢🙄

The white color actually looks good on this car 👍. Im thinking about getting an 924S. Looks more aero than the 944..

Wow, amazing video! Thanks for all the tips. That trick with torque spec was really nice

That new wheel looks sooo good, nicely done

wheels and tires now....still to high....

Awesome video and the steering wheel looks great! Could you please explain why you put the dielectric grease on the connectors? Judging by its name, it seems like it would insulate the connectors and prevent them from making proper contact, or am I missing something? :D

I put LED lights in my click and oil pressure gage, big difference! My clock didn't work, ended up taking it apart and replacing the two capacitors. Over a year later and still working great.

50/50/90 rule bruh

Nice results even if you took a few tangents along the way. In my own vehicle "upgrades" I usually regret the tradeoffs that can occur. Some have none, some just need to be undone! I have little patience for 1980s plastic electromechanical devices, you did great.

Yup!! Amazing the difference in the stance & look now, Real Nice. How does the height difference change the ride, if at all?? 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘🙏

first off that wheel looks SICK! secondly, I know it sounds cheesy but watching guys like you on here dig into something theyve never done before on their cars and fixing it really helps build my confidence when I break into a new project on my car. thanks!

You need to clone yourself at least one time, maybe twice so the other you can work on the CBX and the SEI. Not that I am complaining or anything like that, any content is much appreciated and fun to watch...keep up the good work :)

That wheel is gorgeous dude. Nice clean up job on the stalks. Satisfying clicks....😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘🙏

That wheel is sooooooooo! nice!!!

It's always fun to do the same job twice. It is sooo much easier after the practice run.

Nice job Bj always works better the 2nd time lol looks well better now 👍👌🏁🏁❤️

When you were putting the dash back into the car i was like shouting at you "hey man, test it before mounting it back" :-) On side note - there is also a version of LED bulb which is not polarity specific - yes, all LEDs are as all diodes are polarity specific but these special "bulbs" has two LEDs inside in antiparalel configuration so no matter how you connect them one of them always shine. But this type is not so common and - as always - more expensive. Nice job - especially on repairing the fragile switches. On completly different note - in one or two previous videos i saw red VFR 800 RC46 - will you make a video about it? Just asking...having same red VFR 800 too plus one red VFR 1200F..being kinda VFR fan :-)

My 944 was manual steering, very heavy to park but great at speeds above 5mph.
