A Love Letter to my Porsche 924 | Shot on BMPCC OG

- Almost ten years ago I bought my Porsche 924 and it's probably safe to say, that I will never sell this car. This is a tribute to my experiences and memories with this little Porsche. We filmed this video (except the archive footage) with the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera to give it a little retro vibe.

"We love classic cars.
It’s the smell, the noise and sometimes the dirty hands you get, that remind us of a time where driving wasn't just getting from A to B, but a feeling of freedom.
We want to share stories of cars and their owners."

I met my wife of 21 years because of my 924. I had one in high school and she would see it in the parking lot. She said she asked around until she found out who’s it was. We finally met and the rest is history. Such a great car.
What an amazing story... wish you both all the best!
I love how the transaxle porsche community is so tight-knit. Everyone is so supportive of each other and their plans for their cars. One of the most wholesome car communities
it's like a big family! I love all the messages we get from all over the world. It feels special to be part of that community 🙏
I had a 924 in the late 80s. my buddies had Zs, and RX7s and Cameros, but stupid me wanted that Porsche. It wasn't the fastest car, or the sportiest, but it had soul. It made you just want to go drive. This video truly embodies the 924 relationship.
The 924 is definitely not the fastest car, but I couldn't imagine a more loyal companion for the countless road trips through the country. It's a car with great traction, that can be a lot of fun to drive on winding, narrow roads...
I agree. Is having a soul. Mine is a 924 Turbo 1980, now 43 years old and still have the fun character of day one.
This was amazing. Its so good to see other people loving their 924's. I love my 924S, I've had it 2 years and put 33000 miles on it.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your 924S for many more miles to come!
@@soulfulmachines hi!! I have a question. Would you recommend it as a Frist car, and for every day use?
We hadn’t a honeymoon… we bought a 944 instead. It was our wedding car and I was the driver 😊
Almost 7 years with us.
Then, diapers and other stuff a little human needs, brought a hard decision of selling our 944. 😢
We found her a good home with a couple like us 🎉
We don’t regret the decision. We had a good time and tons of memories.
Thanks for this video. ❤
My 924 had a warm start problem. If you shut it off and came back a little later and tried to start it while the engine was still warm, it wouldn't start. The lazy work-around was to wire the primer injector to a button that could be pushed while cranking. The primer injector is designed to only work when the engine is cold to help with starting and has a sensor that doesn't allow it to squirt when the engine is warm. I don't know what the proper solution to the problem was but priming the warm engine worked. I also don't know why Porsche designed it to only prime when cold other than they like to over-engineer their cars.
Same exact issue when a hot day. I found that if I keep pressed the accelerator to the floor while cracking it takes about 10 seconds to start and it eventually starts catching up the 4 cylinder firing smooth sequence. On a cold day it takes just 3 seconds with only the key. Part of the soul and the driver that understands that soul.
Read the manual. To be sure you should measure the residual fuel pressure when the car is shut of. Most likely the fuel accumulator cant keep the pressure, the most common hot start problem issue.
I have mine from scratch! It was so rusty that was a crazy thing, I had to change half the motor and all the electric cables but after 5 years it worked like a charm.
Tolle Bilder. Danke für das Video.
Ein 924 hat alle Gene und Eigenschaften mitbekommen die ein Sportwagen braucht.
Er trägt das Porsche Wappen zurecht mit Stolz.
Grüße
Christian
Wir hätten es nicht besser sagen können :)
A proper love letter, thank you for the video! I simply love it, I love your passion for your 924. Oh yes and I love my 924 as well!
Stunning car
Ganz viel Liebe! Sehr geiles Video. Der 924 wird immer belächelt, aber nur von Leuten die noch nie einen hatten, oder nie einen gefahren haben. Ich hoffe wir sehen uns demnächst mal bei einer Ausfahrt mit den Afterwork Rebels! Wassergekühlte ´24er Grüße, Flo
Thank You 🎉
🙏
Beautifully stated. A top three video in the list of Porsche 924 videos Ive been able to find on UA-cam.
Need to get mine back on the road.
Very nice sample and a very nice letter too! Congrats and enjoy it! Thanks for the video! 👏🙂
Great vid I bought a 1983
924 non turbo been in garage getting it back this week excited ,
Have fun with your 924!
Incredible! 👏👏👏
🙏
Very inspiring and beautiful video! That's exactly what I love about my 924 too :) And you did some pretty great shots of your car too! So cool! :0
Thank you very much 🙏 ...great that these cars are getting more and more appreciated!
Superb little film. Shows how owning the right car is so much more than just transport. The community around 924's is always strong.
Thank you very much! It means a lot to me to receive this praise from one of the largest 924 communities
🙏For me it's definitely more than getting from A to B with this car.
thanks for that video man, you make me want to get my 944 even more, you got great talent and a great car(buddy) with you
Thank you! Good luck in finding your perfect 944... which will hopefully become your (car)buddy. :)
Very well done.
Cheers! 🤘
Sehr schön gemacht!
Der 924 bekommt endlich den Respekt den we verdient. Durch Filmemacher wie Dich!
Unglaublich Tolles Video!!! Ich habe meinen ersten 924 Turbo leider verkaufen müssen. Doch ich kann die Gefühle und Eindrücke mit dem Wagen so gut nachvollziehen. Ich habe nun seit 2,5 Jahren einen 944 Turbo und könnte mich niemals mehr von ihm trennen aus genau den gleichen gründen wie du!
Schön zu hören dass es noch mehr Enthusiasten gibt denen ihr Transaxle so viel bedeutet... Gute Fahrt!
As a fellow 924 owner, I loved this video.
J'achète ma première porsche cette année, un 944 ! J ai hâte de vivre tout ce que tu décris ! Bravo !
Je te souhaite beaucoup de plaisir avec ta 944, tu ne le regretteras pas !
Genius video🙌
Vielen lieben Dank für dieses emotionale Video ;-)
Wonderful production. 😎👍. Beautiful classic car.
Thank you very much! 😎🤙
Ich hab gestern einen weißen 924 gekauft 🔥 tolles Video!
Glückwünsch! Ich hoffe du wirst lange viel Freude an deinem 924 haben und damit tolle Erinnerungen schaffen 🤘🔥
Wahre Worte ! 100% nachvollziehbar!
I am looking to buy one 😊
Good luck with your search! 😊
love it!
Thanks!
Fantastic!
Thank you!
Hey man I’ve watched this video everyday since I discovered it about a week ago! Much love from New York. Picking up my first 77 924 this weekend if it doesn’t snow and I would love to make a video like yours! Thanks
That means a lot to me! Thank you and have fun with your new companion. Looking forward to your video ☺️🙏
Brilliant! 😍
Thank you! 🙏
Mega Video, Wahre Worte!!!
Dank dir!!!
Mal wieder mehr als genial Tristan👍🏻
Vielen Dank! 🙂
Möchte einen Porsche 924 und dieses Video verstärkt meinen Willen, fantastisch
Vielen Dank! Wir wünschen dir viel Erfolg bei der Suche nach deinem 924!
Inspiring. I'm going out tomorrow to start looking for a GoPro with Hyper smooth.
Thank you🙏 ! ...but a shaky camera can add "roughness" to a video. In this case it's intended. 😉
Allzeit gute Fahrt und viel Spaß mit Deinem 924. kann gut verstehen, dass Du an dem Auto hängst. Habe selbst einen 78er …
Tausend Dank! Wünsche dir auch viel Spaß mit deinem frühen 924er. Gute Fahrt 🤙
Graet Video
Thanks 🙏
Super cooles Video! Und wieder eins von denen die mich davon abhalten, meinen zu verkaufen 😅
Tolles Video, schön geschnitten und untermalt! Frage: Hast du mir einen Tipp für eine gute Handyhalterung, bzw welche nutzt du in deinem 924? Vielen Dank und Grüße 👋
2:15 got into the same situation with my miata XD
😄👍
Sehr schön. Für das „cracked Window“ konnte das Auto ja nix😉
Sehr schönes Video und tolle Geschichte!! Noch ein Grund mehr, mir endlich einen zuzulegen.. hast du denn Erfahrungen im Winter bei Schnee sammeln können bzgl. Fahrverhalten? LG!
Vielen Dank! Die Transaxle Porsche sind wirklich tolle Autos.
Im Schnee bin ich noch nicht gefahren um Salz zu meiden, aber natürlich hat ein Auto mit Hinterrad Antrieb in den unteren Gängen, besonders bei rutschigen Untergrund, bei zu viel Gaseinsatz seine Tücken... 😉 Ansonsten fahren diese Autos sehr neutral und schieben eher über alle Räder Richtung Kurvenausgang. Wenn sie dann ausbrechen dann eher plötzlich, dafür muss man es aber auch provozieren. Viele Grüße ✌️
I have a stock 924 in white, what visual modification are done to your car? I want to model my build from yours.
I lowered mine 30mm front and back (shorter springs at the front and adjusted the rear with the eccentric screw, paired with the Bilstein B6 dampers) 25mm spacers on the rear axle. I painted the rim star of the stock rims black.
... that's it, nothing fancy 😉 ... have fun with your 924!
Love mine too but any idea how to get the 80's smell out of it?
That smell is fantastic. Smell of a classic car.
That's the correct answer 😅
...but I would try some kind of air freshener that can be attached to the air vents, or febreze refresher.
i had one i tended only to say to it come on is that all you got? i couldn't live with a car that looks fast but isint. Frustrating. With the Added hot start issue that was when i got rid. This car has tail lights out and driving light out.
For me it doesn't has to be fast on a straight line, it comes alive on narrow windy roads where cornering is crucial. ...but not every car is for everyone :)
Im restoring a very rusty 924 Carrera GT
Good luck with the restoration! A 924 Carrera GT is definitely worth the effort ❤️
Vous etes allemands ou anglais?
Starting problems, mine too…
most of them have these problems... I hope you find the reason
As someone else mentioned, the work around is to create a circuit from a fused
12v source to activate the cold start injector. I installed a normally open push switch in one of the blank spaces in the dashboard. I mean a removable grommet.
I pressed on that switch when it refused to start while hot. The engine would almost always start .
Cold start valve in my 924 turbo. Bosch part, 1 year only. Rare and expensive.
