My DREAM Porsche 911 Turbo Build is DONE! Sort Of...
Вставка

- 14 months after buying a horrific example of a Manual 997 Porsche 911 Turbo, it's FINALLY 'finished'! Of course, not without another round of misfortune...
Issues are nothing new with this Porsche so as has been the case for over a year, we push through and take the 911 turbo for it's first pulls on the street!

#997 #PORSCHE #911TURBO
These two guys make the show. Porsches and corvettes are the bonus!!!
damn bro u dont even fit in ur profile pic
I just think this is a testament to how well these cars are built and tuned from the factory. I have a 997.1 turbo tip that still to this day scares me on cold nights with hard accelerations in 2nd gear. I think once you go down the rabbit hole of tuning you run into all sorts of issues. Stock, these cars are amazing. I never tuned mine and the only mod I did was exhaust and 5mm wheel spacers because I didn't want to go down the path of failing parts. To each their own but obviously when you have your own garage and seemingly endless funds I suppose you can do anything to them.
I need a friend like Fernando in my life 😂
AGREED 😂
We all need a friend like Fernando
Fernando.. mi amigo
Y’all are true inspiration. Not only your vehicles, but the grind to make these videos. I am a HS Adobe Premiere video editor teacher and I certify students. I know how much it takes to film and edit. Keep it up!!!!
Congrats man, and props to Fernando for being the rock solid friend too 💪🏼
Nothing like a Porsche! Congrats, turned out beautiful. 🎉 First upgrade is to swap out that steering wheel for a more modern 911 factory wheel. That will instantly update your entire interior. Inexpensive and easy to do with a non-multi function wheel and manual steering like you have.
Trust me take out that solid trans mount. Won’t make a massive difference in the turns compared to the insane amount of NVH you will remove from the cabin. Looks great man.
IMO the factory body color vents look much better than the carbon ones, I like the extra middle piece in it, looks much better. The carbon ones are too boy racer for this car. I would also change the trans mount if you're keeping this car long term and will drive it on the road alot, the noice will grate on you over time.
There is something about Porsche. The quality, the driving experience, something is there that once you drive a Porsche,, you don't want to drive another car. Basically, you drive another just to remind you how good is Porsche. I liked Fernando was so respectful with the car, he didn't try to kick the sh.t out if it. It speaks slot about his character and friendship.
I love love LOVE this car! Way to go, Lee! I am glad you are keeping it! More Porsche builds please.
How does a Macan sound?
Great series, watched them all. And the factory air ducts look better then the one you lost imo.
What a car! You guys by far are my favourite UA-camrs! Long good content loads a videos all the time! Well done guys keep it up!
Great looking car especially the way the exhausts exit the rear ,and the wheels!!!❤
If you put the stock wheels back on and put quad tips on the exhaust it’d be a mad sleeper
FERNANDO THE WISE! These wheels come staggered factory. I am pretty sure the front rims should be smaller. From here they both look the same. Problem solved, its the WRONG RIM SIZE. Fernand is funny wee need more Fernando!
Stock vents were a solid choice 🤘looks better for sure over the carbon
The delay in the throttle plate was done on purpose by Porsche to protect the drivetrain from people dumping the clutch and destroying something that Porsche will be obligated to fix under warranty.
You can either get a SPRINT BOOSTER that has 8 levels that will eliminate the TB delay, or have your tuner do it, but then you will be stuck in one level.
Love this Channel fellas! Keep up the amazing work! This is definitely a shop I would love to work in. The banter is incredible. Thanks for the upload!
Bring it to Tail of the Dragon
@@eanhuston2426 that was going to be my suggestion! Would love to see that!
run a ecu master, all the stock bus systems and buttuns will work like original and it cost like 2000$ just do it
Im sorry i mean maxxecu
Stock vents actually look better
The dynamic between you two guys is on point 🤙🏼
Change your wheel offset, that will also eliminate rubbing.
Such a great series - congrats on making it to the end! 🎉
You guys did a beautiful job with this build.
Stock vents look way better than carbon fiber.
Honestly, im pretty over carbon fiber, i think its a bit played out. Sure, pagani looks nice with see through carbon fiber, but on rest of the cars it looks kind of cheap.
This and speed academy’s Porsche build videos are my favorite thing on UA-cam rn!
For me, the stock vents look better and have a more aggressive look.
I gotta say bro I think the original side ducts look better on that car than the carbon ones …fate huh ! oh and listen to Fernando he’s wise 🤣🤣
Also stock vents look way better and imo, wheels are spaced too far out. Just need to get to the fender line.
Love the color of the Porsche
Im so glad you appreciate Fernando , he is solid gold
Ouch, losing that vent and dealing with a leaky caliper at the event was rough, the car looks good either way but I definitely preferred the carbon vents. Can’t wait to see you get these cars dialed in and run’em
Congrats on the finish, really beautiful car 👍🏻 have some fun now! 😁👍🏻
Definitely make the hood glossy.
Love your journey with the Porsche.
Stock vents looks good✌️
Fernando looks like someone that would fit a Porsche 👀maby you should get him one and do a build and let him help😅
Loved this build - from the UK keep on building and we'll keep on watching!
The stock vents look superior. Much classier than the carbon ones. Winner.
You both work together great. Super content keep it up.
"Poorsh" Love those calipers!!!!
I’m happy that you guys finally finished the 997 turbo. I had asked you guys before how things were going. As you know, I really built mine. Also, it is outstanding I would never get rid of mine and I’m sure you should never get rid of yours, too much heart and soul one into that rebuild. I do have a question I tried shutting off the PSM and also turned mine sport mode. I noticed a big difference what exactly does it do? Can you explain to me what they told you about turning both of them on? Good luck with the car. My car has 780 hp now on the rebuild yours has over 1000 that is insane. Love to hear back from you guys. Congratulations.🎉🎉🎉
Fernando is my spirit animal
You know you guys are really funny Love the 3 Porche 1000+Horses, SunShine and LS Swap keep up the good work
In this video, there was no walk of shame back to the garage. 🤔
So beautiful bro I feel the excitement threw you when you walked in the garage to load for track ❤
Did lost mine too at 260km/h … Vinyl carbon cover does it well
very cool! it's amazing to see you bring this car to completion!
Thank you for sharing this awesome content
100% need to sort the headlamp lenses, ive got a 997, just got new lenses and will be swapped over in a few weeks, they fade and age the car.
Do a track day, you no with corners, 1/4 mile stuff just bores me to death, loved the build 👍
Congratulations I know the feeling very well.
More content from this car please!!!
You should start listening to Fernando 😂🇺🇲💪✌️
been dying for this vid
Totally awesome 🎉!!!
I have a modded C6Z Centenniel Edition and an AIM 997.1 turbo. Relevant content here. I can relate
That’s a garage!
That shade of purple looks pretty good on that cad. A,ways liked the 997. Almost bought one 10 years ago but bought an 11 Range Rover Sport SC instead. Should have bought the 997.
It's great just sitting and watching this...instead of living it😂. Thx guys!!
0:30 That's exactly how not to drive a Porsche. This is exactly how the previous owner wrecked the car.
ONE THING.... always ONE THING several times in the videoes.. like it never ends 🤣😄 But damn, it sound sooooo goooooooood 🤤🤤🤤😎😎
The wheels are 🔥👌
Now that's Very nice, finish the Wide Body Hell Cat next
We need some launches !
Awesome job and I think you want to change the front bumper and grill
Very cool car. A budget GT2 RS. I had a modded 996 turbo with over 500 whp and that car was scary quick. I can’t imagine 1000 hp in one of these. am guessing the next upgrade is getting rid of the dated LED driving lights in the front bumper.
Done? Lol keep at it brother
SOMD cars and coffee in St. Marys !!!!
Hate it for you that the track day didn't work out. Car is amazing!
More Porsche less Juke... Actually, keep the Juke. We need something to kick around...🤣
Damn that tow truck’s licence plate, 979TT!? So close
How did I miss that!
@@scraplifegarage very cool!
A standalone will definitely pucker your pits when the car dances underneath you every time you mash the gas . Then you'll wish you had that pumpkin spice mode . On the other hand you'll become an expert at grading asphalt . Good work on the build . See you in the widow's nest .
I was not expecting a 4 digit number
Awesome series really enjoy watching these videos and really like watching the very nice people at @scraplifegarage....keep it up!
Dope 997 turbo
I want to see ZR1 vs Turbo in 1/4 mile, roll race, hot lap road course, park in annapolis near docks and see which one gets more attention. Bring the juke and count how many times repo man accidentally takes it
If I had that car with the carbon fiber side vent covers, I'd pay $5k for the stock ones painted body color.
im glad its sorted and running. i take this over a vette
1000hp! Wow! How was this accomplished? Meth?
Fender liner looks good to me!
😮 Amazing 😍 😻
WE NEED AN UPDATE ON THE DODGE DEMON
Road trip it to NC and let me drive it. Pretty please with cherries on top.
🤔 it looks kind of strange to have the fans all in the wrong places for the Turbo. Most companies that run it on the Dino put a fan on each side of the inlets behind the doors to maximize the engine, getting air
Bring it out to Summit Point
Awesome!! Regards from Brazil!!
Gotta take it on the dragons tail road
I've been waiting for this day
Would a Racechip XLR Pedal box not help with the throttle body delay?
Great build well done✔️ 👍
Man I miss the 240 build. :( Please make an update video!!!!
It’s getting worked on as we speak. Just taking forever. Lots of progress tho
Time to think about a different set of wheels/tires. What too big!
I love this channel beautiful Porsche
But that bromance :-) great job on the build guys.
I love how the passenger is 1 foot ahead of the driver ha
Heck Grandma's Camry would beat that Juke in the 1/4 mile !!!
Lmao I thought I was the only one going crazy over that damn steering wheel 😆
Bring it to Los Angeles
That rev limit would make me crazy
Heck yeah I like that
Needs bronze wheels and the hood stock
Where did you find the steering wheel? Looking forward to seeing how that works out. Great build!
