OK, so I have an SC. You can do a lot or nothing at all and still enjoy it. Stock is 160 to 170MPH. Running and set up in top condition. I added electric Racarros and eliminated the AC and compressor. Gutted the smuggler's box and added a blower. The main issue with the car is the cylinder head case bolts that were replaced with alloy which was a disaster for the 3.0. . They snap off due to heat fatigue. They must be replaced with steel . The heat exchangers are OK for winter driving but again I changed them to steel headers. Slotted racing rotors and Yokohama 225/65 and racing pads keep the car secure even at high speeds. It's all the car I care to own. I let the twin turbos show off but the rest of the time the road is mine.
Those bumpers look so much better that the ugly stock ones though personally i'd prefer them painted body color. LOVE that front splitter, looks perfect and very OEM.
Cool story on the history of that particular car, well told by a true sports car guy in the spirit of loving to build and drive. That's what its all about!
Josh a Hey, thanks for the complement, it has since been sold but I am building its identical twin at the moment. It is in the paint shop but hope to get it back soon. I really miss it!
Little tip, if you want to record good audio, put the microphone to the inside of the car. The best audio is where the driver is sitting, because you get a lovely mix of induction and exhaust sound. This mic placement close to the exhaust tips is pretty horrid to listen to.
Huh sadly, the price of all 911s has jumped significantly out here in Aus, and it is virtually impossible to find any air cooled 911 these days for less than $60+K. Most 911 coupes (Targas being slightly cheaper), seem to be going for between $70-100K.
True James, but as an air cooled 911 fan, personally I don't really like the modern versions, they look too fat and just don't sound as good to my ears. I am resigned to never being able to own a 911.
81 to 83 SC'S are the best ! All in all, bullet proof engines and relliable! Factory headstud replacement is not as common as people make it out to be. A Lot of poor maintanence, lazy owners and thrashed SC's give them a bad rep for breaking headstuds! The 911SC is for life !
Yup. I own an 83 I've had for 12 years now. Targa 3.0 bulletproof is a fact. The Targa is a roll bar. Looks great with the duck tail option too. Recarro seats a must have.
I bought mine ten years ago for $14,000 and it's now worth what I have into it. 1983 targa as well. Love the Targa. Duck tail option and Recarro seats. Buy once buy for life.
What makes an "SC" and "SC? Is it a smaller engine or trim or something? My neighbor has one from 1984 that is brown with a sunroof and tan interior...I dream about it all the time.
It was just the name for 911s built between 1978 and 1983. The SC pretty much saved the 911 because it was going to be replaced by the 928 but it ended up selling way more than Porsche expected.
SC means Super Carrera. It has a 3.0 engine and is more torque than early cars. Differences is they have impact bumpers, weight more and don't rev as high. Porsche sold a metric ton of them as well. Later 3.2 Carreras are a much better car but are basically +$5k more. Earlier 2.7s are much more problematic and slower.
cant beat the Super Carrera for all around reliability, performance, and racing history! Yes the Super Carrera has won and endured in the most challenging races around the world and without the glorified G50 transmission most think its the greatest thing since slice bread! The only 911 ever made, named The Super Carrera "SC" !!!!
Porsche has to be the weirdest manufacturer in the sense that for the price of mid eighties tortured 911 you can buy two early 2000's 996's with low mileage. But I guess the air cooled engine and the smooth ride of torsion bar suspension is worth it.
Magnus you can't possibly be a fan of rauh welt that guy is the biggest hacker i have ever seen! And then take you, you do excellent work! This guy cuts the fenders off with a sawzall and screws a flare kit on then last but not least he uses window urethane as a sealer from the flare to the body???? You have to stop him!

I wonder if you've realized in the past three years that what Akira Nakai does is equally acceptable as what magnus does. A reciprocating saw is an appropriate tool for cutting fenders, and window urethane is perfect for sealing body seams. At the end of the day Magnus is a Porsche collector and modifies his own cars as he likes. Akira Nakai runs a business installing wild body kits with a racing inspiration. The fact that his creations are so popular speaks for itself. These people are both just making unique interpretations of Porsche in their own way
Lucky Brooks The 911SC's are very good bang for the buck, it has the classic 911 personality and can be easily personalized with rsr bumpers, duck or whale tails, etc for a very cheap price. Just like what Magnus did to his.
Lucky Brooks The absolute cheapest Porsche 911, however not a classic (yet), but is still a fun driver's car. A Porsche 996... It's quite a newer Porsche, but a slightly odd design in my opinion, especially with the bug eyed looking headlights, but still nevertheless a Porsche. The Turbo versions are still out of most people's reach though, about $40,000... But a Carrera would probably go for $20,000, if not maybe less.
there are 2 on classics.autotrader.com for 1 for 50k 1 for 37k there is a 88 on facebook market place for 1,200 there is a guy selling 2 87 944 for 3K on market place as well so if you look you can find them cheap i myself might be picking one of these up since i looked
I can listen to Magnus all day. He's a guy you'd love to have a beer with, and listen to him talk about Porsches all day long.
you just refresh my memories on the need for speed unleashed Porsche 2000
I collected many cars from 1956 to 2000
it's an awesome game
It was one of the best racing games and it got me hooked to the Porsche brand

fucking SICK sound
Glad he did one that is a little more relatable. SC's can be had for in the teens sometimes. Cheaper than a lot of every day cars people buy everyday!
love this guy, solid bloke!
Thanks great film
What an inspiration of a man
Cool story on the history of that particular car, well told by a true sports car guy in the spirit of loving to build and drive. That's what its all about!
Gims110 Nice looking car Gims
Josh a

Love that he said put his soul into the car...
Sometime I come here to replay the video from 0:30 just to hear the engine sounds again ;)
Sounds like it has valve issues. Never heard a 911 sound like that. Usually it's a deeper sound.
awesome!
Where I hope to be soon. After Michigan winter!
Best Video On UA-cam!!!
Got one in the same colour as mine ..... great !
Nice work!
Amen.
Great. Great magnus
NICE RIDE !
Awesome track car magnus has and would definitely like to see him and drive porsches in the wild safari route in Kenya

SC is around $100K+ in Australia and they're usually all wrong hand drive
Mulholland and Troutdale. Fuck yeah.
If I ever get one an SC will be it for my budget.
magnus a real king of mountain

+David Mitchell Some of the mint ones here in the uk are going for £150,000 its insane. A lot of low milage with few owners are fetching near 250k
Delta BoXeR your looking at the rs the AC is well under £40,000
David Mitchell - 996's are cheaper and a better car in every way.
True James, but as an air cooled 911 fan, personally I don't really like the modern versions, they look too fat and just don't sound as good to my ears. I am resigned to never being able to own a 911.
David Mitchell Fair enough
Bro Porsche is a dream build one day I will build it💯
This is the ted guy!
👍🏻
Its a perfekt Car i love this Sound Thanks from Hamburg Magnus
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot...light
Cruising my religion
Hey eGarage, what happened to the "Midnight Rambler" video you guys shot months ago? Magnus's blog says it should've been up for a while now.
81 to 83 SC'S are the best ! All in all, bullet proof engines and relliable! Factory headstud replacement is not as common as people make it out to be. A Lot of poor maintanence, lazy owners and thrashed SC's give them a bad rep for breaking headstuds! The 911SC is for life !

No more Hoosier-Daddy's?
Listening to this guy talk about Porsche is empowering. Everyone else tries to be snobs.
What exhaust setup is detailed by Magnus? Any input would be most appreciated..I have a 3.2 that needs this exact sound.
They are custom build by himself or someone close to him...I bet if you ask him he'd sell you one.
Rod Bev He replied...he is running straight headers and a Dansk 2in2out sport exhaust....on order...
GMR!!!!
are the SC's still affordable since he just mentioned them?
I bought mine ten years ago for $14,000 and it's now worth what I have into it. 1983 targa as well. Love the Targa. Duck tail option and Recarro seats. Buy once buy for life.
What kind of wheels does he have on the 78 Porsche SC?
He's using his own design, the "Outlaw 001". They are for sale at his website , i think.
What makes an "SC" and "SC? Is it a smaller engine or trim or something? My neighbor has one from 1984 that is brown with a sunroof and tan interior...I dream about it all the time.

What are those wheels?
(Apologies if this question is answered later on in the video...)
the brand is, Fifteen52 specialy designed wheels that they designed together with Magnus himself.
Nice!
vitaloni mirrors
Are Porsche affordable there?
ARE YOU VAN MANGUS' BROTHER?? SOUTHERN CAL?
BLACK WHITE RED AND O ;)

A Life Much Like Your Own

Remove the lettering on bumper and I’m sold.
what was done to the engine? seems a lot punchier than a stock sc.
Where can i get a Urban outlaw sticker ;"D
ebay, amazon
His has a website..if you buy a T-shirt you get stickers for free.
ORENGE
not only cruising I guess ...
Man how many tickets you think Magnus has gotten in the past say 5 years...LOL
Don't crash it....
I tracked and handwritten everything that happend to car
No one cared when i was selling the car

You can buy a great condition mid-80s for the price of a Honda Civic.
996 looks bad, the 993 doesent

Basically the previous owners did what you're not doing..
Maybe 10 years ago a vintage Porsche was good bang for buck,Not really good band for buck today.
***** Where a live i can get a year 2004 Porsche 911 for the same price as a Vintage 1984 Porsche,But yeah air cooled Porsche is more fun i guess.
Old Porscehe's are appreciating. The Carrera RS has appreciated 500% in the last 10 years. They're selling for around $450,000 right now.
I believe he buys them in very shitty condition :P still expensive but not as bad
