Porsche 911 997.1 Users Guide | Here’s what you need to know
The 997 Porsche 911 Carrera S is my first Porsche & for for many enthusiasts it's seen as one of the highlights in the Porsche 911 lineage.
The 997 911, with its iconic rear-engine layout, precise handling, and naturally aspirated flat-six engine, delivers a raw driving experience. It’s a purist’s dream: real control, engagement, and a visceral connection to the road.
In this video, I’ll go through all of the touch points of my 997 911 & give you an idea of what everything does and how to use the car.

Modifying My High Mileage Porsche 911 Carrera S | BC Racing Coilovers
Переглядів 1,9 тис.14 днів тому
It’s time for the most expensive upgrade on my porsche 911 997 so far! I have finally fitted my Porsche with a set of coilovers from BC Racing. Watch this video to find out if the BC Racing coilovers are any good for the 997 Porsche 911 and whether I think it's worth spending the money. #Porsche911, #Porsche997, #Porsche997Carrera, #Porsche911Carrera, #DriverExperience, #SportsCar, #PorscheColl...

    Maybe not the best reason to buy a car, but I recently had to replace one of my side markers and a lamp in the "lower" headlight assembly. Zero tools needed for the side marker and nothing more than a credit card and a butter knife for the other. Maybe 5 minutes tops for both... On the other hand, had to replace a burnt out lamp on my F-150 a couple years ago, coose to an hour if I was lucky, had to dismantle a series of cowlings & covers for one loust lamp I just think it speaks to the engineering behind everything PORSCHE does BTW, recently went with the PCCM, definitely a bit overpriced, but a very nice upgrade Great vid, best of luck with the channel.

    After watching a few reviews, I've not really seen anyone say positive things about these coilovers. Think I'm going to stick with the Bilstein M030 setup instead :\

    • @willscars
      @willscars 7 днів тому

      I think, like most coilovers, they require a bit of trial and error until you get the setup right. I’d say I’m 85% there as a first crack, if I can get them to be less clunky & slightly less jarring when driving over a drain/pothole then they’ll be absolutely spot on :) if I were you though I would try to experience a car with coilovers, you’ll know if they’d be right for your car pretty quickly from the passenger seat even!

    I bought my 997.1 tiptronic this year and have done 20k miles in it with no problems at all. Love it and this is my forever car. High mileage 120k but drives like new... an 18 year old car! Absolutely enjoy every time I get into it.

    • @willscars
      @willscars 21 день тому

      Love to hear it! 20k miles in a year is bloody good going well done! I’ve only done about 5k since may 🤣 the build quality on the 997 is great, I’ve had the same experience, only a couple small squeaks and rattles but feels as solid as the day it was delivered!

    Hey! I live in the US (where 911s are insanely expensive) and have come across a very well cared for 2007 911 for under $20k, which is insanely rare here. Only catch is it has 180k miles. Do I bite or is it too risky?

    • @willscars
      @willscars 23 дні тому

      If you can afford the running costs & have done your research I say go for it, I’m on 158k as of writing this and the car is doing great. As long as its been well looked after it’s just like any other car, it’ll work! There will be things that break here and there due to wear but that’s to be expected. Let me know what you do & good luck! 🤙🏼

    • @robertsole9970
      @robertsole9970 Місяць тому

      @@willscars yes, but if it’s on the original shift cables and cable ends, the plastic will be brittle. If the cable end breaks at the tranny or shifter or the cable its self breaks, you’ll be stranded. I suggest this as a preventative measure, not waiting for them to break. For sure you can get new OEM cables. Same with the coolant reservoir. Don’t want till it goes bad, cause they do. Also get a new coolant reservoir cap, the o ring in them gets flat over time and it’ll leak. I’ve had 997s before so I know what preventative things ought to be done.
