Gotta be a motor. Porsche Motorsports? C'mon!
I’ll be different. Oem roll cage baby!
I don't know why but ScrapLife videos are the only car build videos that i can sit through the whole thing without skipping... shoutout to the team!
That’s truly high praise considering some of the absolute fire builds that have came out this year on YT! Thank you!
I think it's because he pick's out cool vehicle's. I'm literally only interested in the Porsche video's. I'm a quality guy! Has to out perform the average car. I'll go broke just to have a better or best. Like Top G say's money isn't real. What you surround yourself with is!
@@dzgaming1 I have a full build 2g eclipse. Should make 600+ no problem. Then I want a is300 with a 2j. Looking for that 1000.
@@dzgaming1 I see one here and there. Some old dick bag driving it. Not taking of it. If I had the cash I would scoop one and build it. 1999 is a little old. If you can source the part's and freshin it! Could be worth.
trueee
Great content man! Love this Porsche build and one of the only automotive channels I don’t skip bits of! Your guys humor is top notch as well!
Looking great. Very happy to see you using OEM parts and modifications that the factory would have made vs slapping on a cheap aftermarket body kit. Can’t wait to see it rip
Loving the Porsche bruh......♥️🚫🧢
Loving the Porsche content and this build! Doing a sick job so far and I can't wait to see the car after paint.
The most interesting build on you tube. Been waiting for this one, beer time! I wish you ALL the best with this!!!!! You look very exited, can tell you are going to love this car like a first born child haha!
Enjoy that beer and thanks for the support!
-The box is mysterious but ALL of the deep, wide, tall steel shelving with the storage boxes is even more so.
-GT side markers are really HOT.
- Don't fill the front flare gap, back cut the plastic and it will lay flat contouring to the stock front fender...done
- small broken part - FX fault , use panel adhesive, it bonds for life...done
- One slat or no slat for air vent on rear fender?I have an '86 911 with an air box with 3 slats - like some of the race cars had in the 80's (not available anywhere now, but I got a left/right brand new).
- Side skirts; not everything has to be carbon fiber.Often times neutral black doesn't conflict with the other parts -the MORE c.f. you put on the car the more the other c.f. already on is devaluated.
- in Modern terms; LESS is more. I think the smaller stock mirrors are better looking that the GIANT donkey dk mirrors. DON'T use the donkey dk mirrors as your car will look like a donkey or a dk.

Loving the Porsche content , can't wait to see it done 👏
Your Porsche is a WAY WAY better example than mine.... Cuz it's non existent 🤣. Keep the awesome content coming guys. Y'all really make us (the audience) feel like we are a part of the fun as much as is possible through film. Very much appreciated!
I’m glad it comes off that way, Austin and I both view you all as part of the team!
The best Poorsh content on the interwebs!
Seriously, insane build that is going to be a beast. Love this build!
Adjustable front caster arms will help a lot with fitment.
Love the build and the video. Also the direction you are going with the Poorsh mods. That said the carbon fiber side ducts and mirrors sort of get lost in the black paint so I agree I sort of like the split ones better.
You left us waiting on this episode. But worth it. So much done in one episode. Love it. More please. Someday..... 😉
The minute I get it back painted I’ll get another video filmed and up trust me!
Absolutely love this series!
Looks good. I suggest using a heat gun when fitting pieces like this. Allows for a bit of flex to get them to form to your car
Couldn’t handle any more flexing in the video after busting open that new set of wheels ya feel me? 😎💪🏼
@@scraplifegarage well played lol
I'm restoring a 996 on my channel and I absolutely LOVE what you're doing to this turbo. GoonzSquad is doing something similar. I like your's better. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
The part near the end when you show it on the trailer an you see the view of the tyres proper wide on the rear looks sik af 👌 going to look mint when its done new subcriber great vids ✌❤🇬🇧
I love your videos.....keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
I’ve been waiting to see this thing run and haul for months. 😂 😭
Can’t wait to see this!!! I used to want a new Porsche but I’m thinking a custom Turbo would be way cooler! Hurry up and finish or I’m unfollowing 😂😂😂
Head up to Industry Garage and give him a hand we might get it back a little sooner 😉
What generation to get really comes down to what you want out of the car.
Old air cooled for the lightweight, analog, raw driving experience.
996 turbo for the lightest liquid cooled option. It's also capable of a rwd conversion with ease. Has the fried egg headlights...some people love them and others hate them. It's the cheapest turbo available right now and will only go up in value. One of the worst interiors though. Anything more than an exhaust and tune with a manual requires an upgraded clutch. Coolant lines need pinned but all of them but 1 can be done with the engine in the car. With the auto a tcu tune makes a drastic improvement. With just bolt ons and tuning you can run low 10s. If you do track days you will want Freddy Lewis brake upgrades. And the mezger engine will run hundreds of thousands of miles. 700-800hp on the stock bottom end. Active aero rear wing fails. Can go solid mount or eram.
997.1 turbo also has the mezger engine. Needs Coolant lines pinned and sharkwerks elbows requiring an engine drop. Same as the 996 for the transmission and clutch. Rwd conversion has never been done to the same level as the 996 due to the wheel speed sensors. Much better interior. Traditional headlights. Wider hips. Still has hydraulic steering. Same wing issue as the 996.
997.2 gets the 9a1 engine and pdk. 1st gen pdk has issues. 9a1 has a stronger stock bottom end than the mezger. Wing issue still. No Coolant line issue though. No rwd conversion.
991 turbo has electric steering and is physically larger by a noticeable amount. 2nd gen pdk is Stout. Can make nearly 1000hp with bolt ons and tuning. Updated interior.
If you want the best drivers car the 996 turbo with weight reduction and rwd conversion is the way to go.
If you want the traditional 911 look, analog feel, and nicer interior get the 997.1 turbo.
If you want raw speed potential and luxury get the 991 turbo.
@@sutherlacd27 So you know a little about these cars? LOL The only thing worse to me than the fried egg headlights, are the skins people put on them to make them look round. haha. Thanks for all that info.
Love the wheels! I also run these on my 997.1tt but I like an easy life so went with 19x9” with 245 ps4s on the front 😊 I looked at wider tyres and I read that the 997.2 has a different fender liner which gives more clearance.
I run 255s on the front and 325s in the rear of my 997.1 turbo. It requires some fender rolling though to avoid rubbing
I thought on the 997 only cup car fenders required cutting… the gt2 rs ones are supposed to be double sided tape on and you’re out.
I need to check rennlist again
Also, on the front a 275/30/19 would have matched the stock 235/35/19 but depending on the offset of the wheel you still might have issues. I’m running a 19x10 et42 on my front with a 265/30/19 with about two millimeters of space between the tire and coilover.
Might as well make that bumper vent functional with the proper ducting 👌🏾
Had a nice chuckle at the POORSH writing on the box. That's the plate I put on my 987.1 daily!
Love this build. By far my favorite car you've had on the channel.
Thanks for watching, it’s my favorite build also!
Love the way this is going, wheels are perfect too!
Apex made the perfect wheel for this car!
By far one of the best channels on RUclips
Car looks great nice that the damage isn't that bad can't wait till it's painted and ready
Always supa entertaining vids and love the Porsche build - x turbo owner 😊
Loving the build, car is looking good
Loving this build!
I consider this channel a great discovery. I have to admit that I love it when you're honest to pain. Regards Me and my 944 with a dismantled engine..
Looks so good !!!!
Finally someone spelled poorsh right
Street Bandidos is how I found out about your Channel , it's really quite sad that we don't see a whole lot from them anymore .
They’re quality over quantity for sure! Worth the wait though!
I’m loving it Lee!! Only thing is it looked a little 4x4 but maybe the fender flares will close the gap a bit. Or I’m sure you can lower bit via the coilovers.
Plenty of height adjustment is needed! I don’t even have the rear coilovers on, it was LATE I threw the fronts on, made sure the wheel turned and I was out of there!
@@LeeC it’s gonna look sick! Great job.
I think I'm as excited as you are to get this car on the road.
This is cool. Take it even further with the weight reduction. I personally would create cooling ducts from the fog light housing.
That’s not a bad idea at all 🤔
If I remember correctly these cars have ducts that cool the brakes from the factory
@@sutherlacd27 Most likely there already is. A little added cooling is no bad idea. Mostly for the looks.
@RayBen555 I'd focus more on the weight reduction, suspension, and power output than the cooling/appearance beyond what they've already done. I removed the hydraulics for the rear wing and went solid mount wing, lighter and wider wheels, rear seat delete, and bare bones exhaust for my weight reduction so far. I plan on getting some corbeau seats next to replace my adaptive sport seats. Will save me 50-75lbs.
The very first mod I made to my 964 was to fit a strut brace. Good choice of Coil Overs, but not totally convinced with the tyres choice. There is a reason why Porsche spend millions testing and recommending tyres.
rea porsche guys like myself would know how cool youre making this car. im the baltimore guy. still havent gotten up that way but i will because i'd do anything for tuned 997.1 turbo. im trying to get my bro to sell his 993 turbo and buy us each used turbos(mine a 850hp 4.1l 996) and the wife a used macan. you had to go full gt2rs because that what a 911 lover does. its like muscle memory. you go full robot with the credit card dailing stuttgart werks. you make think life might not suck balls. excellent taste with new part. i love Uwe. i grew up on maimi vice.cheers
Bring that 993 down to the shop one day I’d love to see that!
You said “hope to see you guys back here very very soon” Don’t make us wait months… 😂
You guys NEED to get with Goonzquad when both finish the 911 Turbo project
I don’t know if they’d want to get drug by an old 997 😉
Looking forward to seeing that paint job
It looks good you did not ruin it. I am very happy you saved it.
Love this build
I wanted to get some of those GT2 ducts for my car until I saw the price, haha
They wouldn’t be in my car today without a viewer making me a great deal on the parts!
Just wait until you see the one that WASN’T in this video!
Lol same for me
BTW you can make your own gt2 side ducts out of the turbo ducts. I'm doing it over the winter. Got 2 turbo ducts for $100. Cut out the center section and sanded them down. Ordered some resin I'm going to use to fill in the gaps. Then sand and paint. I'll sell my turbo ducts in my car currently to get my $100 back
Looks amazing
Beautiful. Gembella- perfect historical addition! Enjoy.
There are a whole lot of RUclipsRS replicating your channel. Stay innovative fellas and ya'lls Porsche is lookin "fire". No pun intended.
That car is going to be so badass!!
Did that front bumper vent just cause drag to cool down your......trunk??? 😂
I been dieing to know what was in the box! Hahahaha
I like it !
yes I have been waiting for this
I love it !
Love it
You guys are living a life I dream of! Being from the uk and the rubbish cars we have makes me jealous of things like this! Keep up the great work! Porsche is looking awesome!
That seals the deal, not getting the gt2 fender flares for mine.. even if both front fenders needs changing.. 😂
Sick Fitment Bruh! 🤪
I’m sorry isn’t there a Nissan Juke video you should be watching instead?
Building fullgt2 convertible build now i molding those flares flush looks mint how do I send pics I got the gt 2 bumper and radiator kit too
Awesome! Can’t wait to see that build
I dig it. Hell, it's your car so do whatever you want. lol
As long as it isn’t slammed on airbags I’m a happy camper lol. Cool build
Love those wheels, but you’ve got to replace those front tires with a more appropriate size. Everything else, especially the mirrors are choice.
Gloss black the faded part
i don’t care how old or cheap the 997 is, it will always be my favorite porsche, it looks both modern and classic. i am jealous sir it’s looking good
The 997 is also one of my favorites. It’s also not cheap.
@@hynos323 it’s pretty reasonably priced around here, like $35-40k
you the goat man
Love the 997
Seen other 997T
videos where it’s says having bigger wheels/ tires have damaged Transmission or AWD, can’t remember wish.
Have you posted the engine install?
Make sure you do some research. With the front diff you need to be within ~3%. I don't think you can run 265's with 325s without burning up your front diff. Love the build, need to put on a gt2 front tho!
Yeah I'm running 255s with 325s on mine. Not sure about 265s working
Wow cleetus and goonsquad got Porsche too
WHAT EPISODE DO YOU MENTION AND SHOW THAT YOU MILLED OFF A FEW MILS FROM THE WHEEL MOUNTING SIRFACE THE WHEEL
I CANT RE FIND IT
Wow I’m in love with your 911 !!!
do you think it would be possible to take a 718 and make it look like a gt3 with a body kit, main thing for the rear being the gt3 brake light bar ?
my guess at the color - dark violet
😏
“Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind”- Meatloaf
Hey can you tell me where you get the gt2 side skirt for $450 bosss
If I were to bet I’d say purple or British racing green
I would've left it factory and worked on the engine. I'm sure it'll look nice after finished though.
Primer gray is the new paint color
Hopefully you did your homework on your tire sizes. The diffs are known to go bad if the ratio between the front and rear diameter are too off from OEM.
We’re height matched even closer than factory spec, that’s actually one of the reasons I didn’t simply order a different front tire after seeing how obnoxious this fitment is. I’d have to change the rears too…
@@scraplifegarage Good to hear. You won't have any nasty surprises in store for you (prior damage excluded).
Gotta lose the Depo LED’s. Either go OEM all red or do the .2 conversion properly with bumper.
Not a 997.2 fan, all reds are on the table if I don’t like these once the car is done
Dream car
New sub and thinking. if i start here and watch the two newer ones of this car, that would mean in a hour and half or so, ill be bored again.
So pissed that you did the black&white on the paint 😂
Watch out when changing wheel/tire sizes, it'll upset the AWD system and might overheat
ziet er gelikt uit
Modifying for more power, cutting it up and adding rare parts, and ordering the entirely wrong tires forcing you to make the build fit the tires?? I approve this message!!! Just please don't paint it Nardo Grey or Miami Blue.
Color....? Yellow....? Love the build..
I’m on board with what you are doing it’s going to be the dogs ballocks
All for it
Nice Poorsh 911! lol
Nice build... but if I were you I'd opt for some original Porsche wheels.
I would love get a needs work Porsche and build it but if you gotta get into the engine the cost goes out the window. More so than the value of the car would ever be
شي رائع وجميل استمر انها تستحق لجمالها
That has to be a fun garage to work at. Am I right? A place where you never really want to call it a day and go home.
It’s a good time most of the time!
Paint the side skirts to match whatever color you go with!
Front lip and skirts are staying raw, I’ve never personally been a fan of painted lower trim, it gets too beat up! Especially with how I treat cars 🤣
Need to paint the front lower trim to match then and that part is commonly damaged
It does get damaged sometimes but looks slick and it’s a factory option. I have only replaced my front once on the 997.
finally the poorsh parts!!
Bruh... the color trolling is real.
The original split item looks way better to me.
