Keep up the great work with these kids. They're blessed to have someone like you mentoring them.
Thank you kindly
Its crazy how a girl bobbing her head for 10 seconds makes millions but a guy that teaches students and sets them up for a successful career doesn't.
Solution: Get more girls on set! =D
@@AoiKaze2000 bingo. Wife oil change in bikini
I have to be honest - I know this isn't the "Genius Garage" channel, but I like getting to *see* the students actually working on stuff.
Make sure your 944 fuel lines are good. Many a classic 944 gone up in flames when fuel line gave our over the hot motor. Thanks for the video. Have to do this to my 944.
That 944 looks great with gold wheels!
It's somehow even more Porschey.
@@vladpiranha nope looks ugly. Original is better
man ive wanted a 944 since i was 16 now they are going up in price. I just think they look cool alway have.
Love these 944 videos
This video made me wish I still had my 944..
I just got one last week
Get one they're still reasonably priced
The pokey stick looks like what you use to open a paint can! Those KW kits look amazing.
I love my 86 944 with 28k miles. I have a 2018 M6 but the 944 is so analog and has just enough power to be fun - but without getting into trouble on the street. One of the best handling cars ever.
944 is a great car.
The 944 S is even better. It’s a 16 valve setup capable of 190hp and 170 torque when on cam. It’s a modern car in how it runs and handles.
Casey is correct these are the best you can buy, KW are an superior to most others and the way to go if you want Quality.
944 looks 1000 X better. Viper GTS looks amazing from all angles. You're lucky to own one. Can't wait for the next video! Thanks Casey.
Nice. Got bedtime story for tonight. Thanks 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I miss spinning claw hand gesture in a fighter jet Casey, but I'll take pointing like a boss in a fighter jet Casey as an acceptable replacement.
I’ll do a new intro in the future. :)
Is it just me, but I prefer the orignal wheels. Cool KW setup, love that you have retain the rear torsion spring!
Putting that shiny new coilover on the original suspension is like Road Kill slapping a brand new Holley EFI carb or a new supercharger on a rusted, leaking engine that hasn't run in 30 years, yet it fixes everything.
You are great Casey, but you are at your best when what you're having fun doing what you love. Keep it up!
I love KW coilovers. I have a set of V2s on my Volvo wagon. Completely transformed how well it handles.
Glad you're getting them in!
Just bought a 944 today 🙏🏽
944 looking good! Like the wheels.
Car looks insanely good 👍
Looking good, i love black & gold (i'm painting my swift gti black & gold). 944 rear wheels need a spacer though. KWs is very good
I'd love a 968.
*laughs in peugeot*
Are the tyres mounted in the correct orientation? It seems that thread pattern it's reversed
I was thinking that when I saw them putting on the left rear
Casey: Your measuring from the center cap to the fender? What's it supposed to be at.
Me: uhhhh so you can't fit a shoe between the tire and fender?
BIB thanks!!! I want to lower my 87' 924S and don't want to reindex the torsion bar....
Awesome video Casey you couldn't say it no better very well explained.
I see just one cup of coffee today.
My coffee maker broke this morning ... I've got no cup to watch this :(
Luv Casey from gazsonautocare&spa in Elizabeth new jersey great channel
I’m saving this, because I’m surprised to hear KW are the best shocks one can buy.
What model/product from KW did you use for this install?
CASEY is there any chance the students can do a video on the engine of the 944S assembly?
Sure
A shocking transformation of a 944 and also Casey Putsch drops a nut! On todays edition of Casey Putsch tv with Genius Garage!
Make sure to get those directional tyres seated the correct way Casey, I saw the left rear and right front were backwards.
was just about to leave this comment, yes the driver rear is are backwards!!
Dang tire people F’ed up!
@@CaseyPutsch I know you're probably joking Casey but if a tyre shop can't recognize directional tyres and mount them correctly, then maybe don't use that shop.
@@creverett9 Also the front right.
@@kalidilerious I have worked in and been the customer of many tyre shops, they absolutely make these kinds of mistakes, I just wanted to point it out to Casey because he didn't mention it in the video.
Classic Riken Raptors. Some of the only tires still available in OEM sizes for these cars
beautiful car. Anyone else notice 2 of the tires are on backwards? lol
Idiot tire changer guys….
@@CaseyPutsch backwards mounted tires are a common style thing in Japan... probably forgot they were doing a customer car 😂
If you can afford to pony-up for KW shocks you wont regret it.?
There the only way to go if you want your ride to stay planted.
Great road-Holding without shaking your teeth out...Recommended
Hey, I just noticed your tyres are mounted backward on the gold wheels (at least the one on the right front for sure). I bet you just inverted both front wheels.
The original Bilstein's which were no doubt worn out but when new would have been better than at least 90% of the aftermarket 'uprated' suspension kits on the market!
That stick looks like the key used to open old style tins of smoked oysters etc.
Aaron it's okay. I drive a WRX and I don't vape either.
Omg is that a rich energy can on the windowsill?! XD
I wish I had bought my coil overs from kw… whilst they were made by kw… the after sales service has left me with a car I can’t trust for nearly 5 months. The shaft separated from the top mount on my rear shock at 100kph… thankfully with only minor issues… however it’s now been since the 21st of January and my car isn’t fixed. The company stated they would send a replacement out on the 21st of February… but that hasn’t happened and as I’ve published this fact… Squadra Sportiva isn’t likely to ever send a replacement out.
Running the rear tires backwards?...
what sort of modifications are needed to make them fit an early model 944. 1983 in particular
What’s the part number on that coil over kit for the 944?
I think those tires are directional and not correct.
can this KW kit also lift the 944? (kinda new to cars but I'd love to be able to)
This is a great car channel. Lots of good parts for the 944 on Alibaba.
Which set of coilovers are these v3?
I have an 1984 Porsche 944 that I am working on but I am having difficulties finding the parts that I need. Any suggestions as to where I can purchase loaded brake calipers, disc, master cylinder etc
Try pelican parts !!😎😎🇺🇸🇩🇪🍺🍺🍺

@@CaseyPutsch thank you for the suggestions
@@artmchugh5644 thank you for the suggestion
@@taranson3057 no worries! !!! If used parts will work , check out my friend at just joshin 944 parts !! Tons of stuff😄😄😎🇺🇸🇩🇪🍺🍺🍺
what wheels are those?
👍🏻👍🏻
what do you think about a rotary in a 944?
I'd call it an rx7
I think it would be the best car ever
An rx7 that doesn’t rust then…
Why not just get a FC for all the cost you'd put into a 944. Though that'd be like making a Rotary C5 but more 80s.
Those coil overs look great too bad you can,t see them after they are installed.
4:15 that tire’s goin on backward.
Ouch! $3900 for the set! 🥴
Are you still going to race with NASA?
casey coilovers are cool and all, i mean i have them on my subaru, but all the cool kids are bagging their cars with air suspension. you have to slam that 944 on bags and get some 18" chrome rotiforms on camber bolts for the youtube views
Is this an ad?
Phone dials all day
16 inch Forged sewer lids all day - stock on a 944s
So can I get that blown indy engine behind the 944 for a coffee table in my man cave? Obviously with an agreed upon donation to Genius Garage.
Boys KW or Ohlins?
Its not just me, casey is cheesier and cheesier by the minute right?
Dont get me wrong, he's still great :D
wow, in 1988, Porsche is still using IRS suspension from a VW bug.
So? For this application it's still better than swing axles or live axles.
Miata uses double wishbones just like the Jaguars raced at LeMans, but it's still a good design.
I want one so baddd... been drooling at every sight of them ever since I’ve been 15 y old🥲
KW is good but there are better like Intrax.
WRX drivers vape; BRZ guys prefer donuts.
😁😁
Casey getting his child sla- err students to do all the annoying work for him haha
It isn’t my car man. This one belongs to Genius Garage. Watch the last video. I don’t get paid for this.
@@CaseyPutsch I am aware its not your personal car and is simply for teaching purposes, yours is the white 944 you put the Martini stripes on, as you say I watch the videos. Anyway was just messing with yah. It was more so a joke about them working on the car.
Those gold rims are uglyyyyyy
$4500 for KC coilovers or $1200 for BC coilovers......
I wonder if bc is paying for the banner or if KW donated the coil overs? either way someone is getting scammed even it is Casey, GO BLUE
...... those 2 brands are not even in the same league.
@@dan.r9220 yea, 1 one price is reasonable, the other is insane without any explanation
@@nickaltvater5592 kw is a OEM supplier who build high quality parts that last 100k miles. BC makes pricepoint coilovers for drifters.
@@dan.r9220 how much more performance is in KWs for the extra $3000?
Those wheels are disgusting looking on that car.
That 944 looks great with gold wheels!
