Have you ever considered machining a manifold/adaptors for an existent supercharger of choice (of a M113K) to fit for example the 156/M159? Maybe providing a complete kit, as an alternative for the really expensive kits that are being sold by weiztec / carlsson etc. I'm sure you can do it and there is a market for it.
Great video! Loved the suspension setting part... And those are indeed some cool cars! About that 996 carrera 2, did it had changes regarding a possible oil starvation problem (during track driving)? I keep earing that this cars can't handle well track driving along with track focused tires...
This car actually has bump stops? The Ohlins I had on my 987 Cayman S (very similar suspension design in the front) had no bump stops at all, unless they were internal.
I feel like I missed a LOT from this video. You explain that you add or remove weight to the “tyres” to balance the corner weight but we don’t see you do this. Also looking at the before and after how have you added 11Kg to the RL tyre?? I’d love a detailed explanation of what is happening here. I assume weight is being shifted on the chassis or inside the vehicle too somehow. Again, missed all this detail and only see before and after shots.
996 on track? Handles great, BUT.... Oil starvation on long sweepers=blown motor. Lucky I had warranty and a dealer that was eager to bill Porsche N.A.
Also, wouldn‘t it make sense to adjust the suspension and cornet balancing with the driver in their seat? After all, that‘s how the car will be driven on track. When I had my car in the shop to do an alignment and setup, they asked me if I drive the car mainly alone or with a passenger, and when I said I mainly drive it alone, they had me sit in it while they adjusted it so it‘s set up perfect for this application. PS, ah, ok, so later in the video you said you do that, too. When you started, I simply saw no one in there.
It has nothing to do with being low. It has to do with aftermarket suspension being put on without being properly adjusted. There is no "knowing how to drive a lowered car" when that is the problem. The compression of the shock is over traveling and isn't rebounding fast enough.

Can't wait to see more about those m113k scavenging gears!
btw man, invest in a gopro head thingy so
you can use both hands
Looking forward to the 380SL upgrade, that will be an interesting project. Lovely looking cars.
love how your expanding the shop

*karen ftw*
those scavenging gears look sweet! nice no-nonsense carbon fiber station too. lol at the foosball table. xD
Can’t wait to see the sl
What game and car track combo are you using for the sim setup so we can beat you time😁
LMAO
WTF WHO LS SWAPPED A 914?
you madman
Put "LS swapped 914" into Google and you'll find more videos and articles about this one.
I believe people have been dropping SBCs and/or LSs in tracked 914 for decades

Cool video. Can XF Motorsports build a Front Double Wishbone suspension for the Porsche 996? That would be AWESOME and so many drivers would buy it!
If you do not track your car but you have lowered it, do you need to corner balance the car or would a simple alignment be sufficient?
At what temperature did you heat up the oil pump gears before trying to press fit them?
Would alignment alter the balancing?
Any other mods on the car apart from the lightweight wheels and the wing?

Internal
what was the total time, less alignment, to balance car corners?
Usually takes 2 hrs
pls do a video on how to design cars and car parts in auto cad pls

Great video 👍 Interesting suspension set up ,nice to use Karen's talents in the carbon fibre department.
How is the pc game called You mentioned?
Gran turismo
Hope your hand is feeling better.
Mercedes and Porsche are both from Stuttgart :)
Very little bump travel! The car in full droop looks like typical ride heights 😅

Nice work!
When a car sits after being lifted it needs a roll to settle, until then there's some forces that wouldn't be there otherwise
Yeh, the scales have sliders underneath for that reason
Greetings! Can you make a detailed video on this corner balancing topic? Would be much appreciated.
Love your content BTW
Put a gtr engine in the Infiniti, thatd be cool.
I wouldn't call 1 294 kg "a light car". For a 2-seater it's heavy. Compared to a Lotus it's an SUV.
Yes, comparing it to a car with a carbon fiber monocoque makes sense. Derp.
@@xenonram Lotus don't use a carbon fiber monocoque, n00b. :D
Wtf is that Porsche? Never seen 1 like it before.
914
@@AnttiBrax thanks
@@AnttiBrax thanks from me too, I also have never seen or knew about these before.
You are a very attractive man...
As a German, instant nitpicky comment: it‘s not a Porch, it‘s a Porsche. Por-shuh. The e is not silent in German.

@@Runoratsu But didnt it still read unequal weights on the front axle, when he was done? Like 18% vs 17%?
@@RastaEugen He put weight in for driver but the weight was removed at the end when he was showing
@@coreyw427 But shouldn't the FL side be lighter than the FR without the added weight? @ 6:00
Carbon fiber rolls should be kept in a fridge
Nope. It's not prepreg. It's just carbon fiber.
1st
nobody cares
The car wasn't even low, the owner needs to learn how to drive a lowered car
