    Funny, I recently had the thought "why doesn't someone "singer" a 997" but without a completely ridiculous price tag and going way over the top with performance numbers. Give me a 997 S with a stick and just tighten it all up, some hp, exhaust, refresh the interior etc. Lovely.

      Why didn't you think to yourself "hey, everything that's been done to this is inherently not special, not bespoke, and has probably been done to several 911s by owners with deep pockets who like simple modifications"
      There's an inordinate amount of cars that have this level of detail put into them by owners who take them to one or several shops and iron out the looks, feel, and performance to make it their "own". The fact that you and so many other fanboys are just drooling over a quite simply mundane (in terms of complexity and originality) car is just laughable. Guess anything with the right journalist at the wheel will have the plebs sold.

All carbon wings, bonnet etc. I have video of different phases also. How do I contact you directly?

    Yes, I'd love a 997, though a gen 2 with some wheels closer to a Fuchs style than the HREs here. It's the profile change on the rear lights that does it for me, it makes the rear look slightly more dynamic and sets it further apart visually from the 996.

    Motor journalists all seem to jump in a modern Porshce and say they've cracked the electric power steering now, there is great feel and its as good as the hydraulic systems they were struggling to match for feel. They then jump in a hydraulically power steered car and say this steering is so much better than modern cars...

    There's a 997 Carrera S for sale that I've been watching for £24k. It's pretty much spot-on for what I value in a car and doesn't break the bank. My only issue is it doesn't have a place for a mountain bike and I own a Clio 182 for ragging around at weekends. I know the Porsche is in a different league to it but when you own a car that puts a smile on your face everytime you drive it and costs peanuts to run its hard to justify swapping to a Porsche like this. Crazy respect to these guys for making the 997 even more appealing to drivers but being strapped for cash makes this a dream... Great video Henry as always

    Love it, gorgeous build. I have a 997.1 3RS and would welcome this to sit alongside. I would go for a period mustard paint, fast road set up and ideally try to obtain a GT3 engine to base the build on and make it a bit softer ride to a GT3. Weekend North Wales mobile and rear seats would be a must with the family.

    • @Audidude
      @Audidude 2 роки тому

      I just did! With 997.1 C2 manual 3.6 with Carrera Sport 19 inch wheels, Ohlins Coilovers, GT3 short shifter, lightened flywheel, stainless aftermarket sport exhaust (not PSE), ducktail spolier, sill graphic "Carrera", in GT Silver. Then broke my ankle 2 days later so hardly driven. Yet. 10-12 weeks no driving manual car :(. Main concern is future bore scoring - but the car is so special that I'd do a rebuild. That engine sounds SO much better than the DI in the 997.2.

  • @black350Z
    @black350Z 4 роки тому +4

    Interesting. I have a base 997. checking out their site, I like seeing that I seem to be on the right track as I've already done some of the mods they list (3rd radiator, lower temp thermostat, lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch). I guess I'll keep plodding along because I can't really afford their build. Still nice to see, though.

    • @Audidude
      @Audidude 2 роки тому

      the base 997 is hardly plodding along! I have one with tasteful mods(coilover, short shifter, lightweight flywheel, exhaust, ducktail) but standard 3.6. The 3.6 is allegedly less prone to bore scoring than the 3.8 but I can't find any evidence to back this up. The old vulnerable IMS was replaced in early 2006 with a new larger IMS which only extremely rarely fails BUT is within the crankcase so if needs replacing the crankcase has to be opened. Bore scoring is the main worry (as it is with the 996 and even the 997.2. There are steps you can take to minimise the risk, but I suspect that eventually it may become inevitable that most will score as they get older with high mileage. By then the car will be such a classic and of such value that the engine rebuild will be worth it. Consider it a possible future "service" item :). The S is faster, but not by a lot, but the increment in speed is not relevant when the reason for driving one of these cars is the driving experience, connection and analogue thrills. The sopwatch is irrelevant :)

      And while they had the whole top end apart for the X51 parts? Undoubtedly. Also, the Gen 1 997s pretty much had the IMS issue solved with the revised bearing. The fear marketing is driven by an undeserved reputation and those selling “solutions”. I had a very early 11/2004 build, put 167k miles on it. No issues.

      Buy a cheap 911 for £15000 or £20000 and send it for work and you will have something like the car in the video.

    Hello guys, your footage looks great! Thank you for making those great videos.
    Can you tell us which cameras do you use? Is your series high production stuff or not?

    The 997 chassis is the best of all of em, except for the problem with the intermediate shaft. But tuned just right, it could match the new 992. This one is lovely.

    This reminds me of the of the bmw e46 330ci zhp. Not quite an m3 but the 330ci endowed with racing bits. Its a nice setup. Although since its not s major modification, owners can do this mod by themselves. Wont get the csr badge and looks, but can perform as good.

    I still miss my ‘base spec’ 997 3.6. It was more than fast enough for everyday use and being a late ‘06 it was post the IMS bearing issues. Smaller wheels for a lower unsprung weight also make a big difference to the feel of the car.
