MILESWORKS Porsche 996 - Falling in love with the unloved generation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2023
- The 996 was always considered the unloved generation, which made it an affordable platform with a lot of potential. Dominic Miles saw this as an opportunity to build his dream car and reimagine the 996 - The MILESWORKS Porsche 996 (1998 Carrera 2) is far from what the original body was, but keeps an organic flow to the car and gives it the Porsche shapes we all love.
Thanks to Dominic for taking the time to show me his creation and sharing his story with me and my camera.

Best looking 996 ever
Yesssirr!!
I cant imagine how this thing would look in person... must be insane
I did my best but no photo or video can actually do it justice. Its crazy how wide it is
After seeing this car in person, I can reassure its beautiful
That thing looks insane!! Congratulations, a lot of hard work there.
The flares are perfect!!! Best looking 996 period.
Probably the coolest 996 c2 ive ever seen
Same here 😁

Best looking 996 kit I've seen
I have to agree
Best example of this generation EVER. Absolute perfection. Now someone 3d scan it and make the bodykit PLEASE!!!! Thank you for seeing it through and sharing it with us!! now more videos please!
He is producing and selling the kits, you can order one on milesworksautomotive.com .
They are finishing development on a kit for the 996turbo as well as the Boxter which should be out soon.

Yep, now we DO want the 996.
Hahahaha same!
I always had this vision and for you to bring this out I’ve looked up to you ever since, I’m grateful and hopeful to one day purchase your kit as I am saving up for it (just know this) , well done I applaud you man! That thing is BEAUTIFUL🔥(in capitals) .
(PS please bring out more content!!!!!!!!!!! )
If you want an ultra wide 996, I don't the execution gets any better than this
👏👏👏 well said, well shot, and most importantly, WELL DESIGNED! MWA the world
Thanks you 😁😁
Approved 👌🏾
So very good👌🏻👌🏻 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Wow! Incredible & great video too. Nice work.
Thank you!! 🙌🙌
Thank you for this video this 996 is really nice thank you!! thank you your new subscriber from Los Angeles, California United States
Thanks for the sub! Glad you are enjoying the content 😄
That's one bad assed Porsche
Some day i’ll buy one
Sweet
Beautiful wide body kit. Much better than r w b. Only thing I would change is to make the radiator openings wider. This would minimize the big blank area in front of tire and be more in proportion to the wider front end.
Thats an interesting idea.
Dom it was such a pleasure meeting you at Gravity show at the NEC in Birmingham England, your cars were stunning mate, the speedster conversion is mind blowing.
Speak to you soon mate.
He really killed it with the speedster and turbo! Sad I wasnt able to be there to see and film them
@@perhat22 he did kill it, hopefully my fastback conversion helps him to produce a kit in the future so we have the best of both worlds. What great guy Dom is though.
@@revolutioncustoms6894 just saw your video about the fastback porsche, that thing is sick. Would love to see the fastback roof worked into the Milesworks widebody kit.
@@perhat22 really appreciate that mate, yes I'd love to see Milesworks make this available for people, we can't do anymore but one off builds as we're just two brothers building a dream and having fun at the same time, hopefully one day it will all be different. Lol
I remember everyone used to think this generation 911 was ugly now everyone wants one🙄
We all dream of
🔝🔝
is there a wb kit for the 996 turbo? need that snorkel signature to differentiate the regular 996 and the turbo 😉
He is just finalising the first 996 turbo kit and it looks amazing. Follow the milesworks automotive instagram for updates, it should be out for orders some time soon.
Does it fit on the convertible chassis as well?
Bolt on heaven, LOL.
What rear diffuser is on it? I didn't see it on their website.
I am not sure, I would think its his creation as well. you can shoot him a DM on instagram, I am sure he will be happy to help.
his IG is listed in the description
🤞😶🌫️🏁
Porsche 996 = front MacPherson Strut *Junk* Mobile
You guys should send me one kit for free cause this is amazing and look good on my carbio
Does this kit fit a 996 Turbo
They made a specific kit for the turbo version, not sure if its being sold but I think it is. Check the milesworks website 😉
Where can I order this kit?
Milesworksautomotive.com 😉
Will it fit a targa ?
Honestly no idea, check out @milesworksautomotive on instagram, you can dm him directly and get the correct info
Bekommt man für den 986 kit in Deutschland TÜV ?
I am not sure, you will have to check on milesworksautomotive.com , but I think it does not have a TUV yet.
@@perhat22 i think what we need here is a Material report
Thank's and best Regards Joachim
Nice video, interesting topic. I'm glad people disliked the 996 because it meant that it was cheap for me to get into one. :D
PS shame you can't hear the car. Too much dreary music. 8 minutes in before you get to hear the car but it's drowned out by the music. Don't you love the sound of cars?
Didnt have the best mic setup with me to get good sound clips. I want to go back to film it again along side the boxter he made a new bodykit for. I will make sure to get more sound of the car next time
@@perhat22 fair enough. It can be hard to record the sound of cars. I don't know why but most 911 Turbos even with straight pipes don't sound great on UA-cam!
@@darrensurrey I find that most cars dont sound as good on video as they do in real life. This thing sounds amazing, the lightened flywheel makes it really rev happy and the exhaust is great. I do have to try harder next time 😅
@@perhat22 I dunno what others are using to record. I'm sure a lot of people just use their phones. Can't go right up because it distorts the sound, though.
@@darrensurrey I have invested in a few different mics since filming the video so I am ready for next time 😄
Okay…. How do we buy lol
Go to milesworksautomotive.com
Bought a kit first then looked for the car. I feel like I do the same. Get parts first before buying the car.
Makes sense especially when the parts are super rare but the cars are not
@perhat22 Great build btw. I'm really interested in buying a 2000 996 911 from a local seller.
@@rockyk1395 sadly its not my car 😂 im just the filmer. But yeah this 996 is simply amazing, and hes working on releasing kits for convertibles and turbos too. I say if you got the means go for it. After seeing this one i definetely want to get one some day
@perhat22 Well, great find in this video 😃 And good luck on your find, hopefully you'll get a good deal!
What about the 996.2? Also your tailpipes are crooked.
Love the efforts, it is clean and fitted right but it is too wide. When i heard him say wider than the Gemballa kit he wanted i was like.. oh boy......
I have a 996 C2 as well and when u go too wide, the problem is the 911's short wheel base.
As far as idiots talking about "fried egg headlights" .. theyre so fkn stupid, they dont realise the Porsche GT1 had those headlights first.
It really does look much wider in person than on the video but it still does not look too wide compared to the wheelbase, at least in my opinion. the car really is something special.
Didn't know about the GT1 tho, thanks for the info!
Spain?
Mallorca
@@perhat22 Nice! I'm from Gran Canaria
@@cct3053 I was just there 2 months ago, amaxing roads!
@@perhat22 yeah i have a house in Teror and my girlfriend is from Tejeda, epic touges 🤣
@@cct3053 I'm so jealous, hope you have a good car for it
You managed to make the ugliest 911, look absolutely stunning 👏
absolutly impeccable work of love an respect for the quality of the Porsche brand ! Cheers
Couldn't agree more!
Does it fit on the convertible chassis as well?
They are in the process of creating a kit for them I believe. Check @milesworksautomotive on instagram for news and updates regarding this
