What a nice car! I really love your get in there and make it work with what you have kind of mindset, as opposed to throwing money at problems. And the car seemed to have turned out just right. Really cool what you've achieved with that
I hate to say it, considering how modern cars are, but anyone who has not driven a truly lightweight performance car is living in automotive pleasure driving ignorance. I always consider it a treat when one of these well crafted and entertaining videos shows up.
Damn !!! I can almost feel it through you Nicole !!! Truly a pleasure and awesome build !!!! Well done Nicole . And the cars definitely exudes power !!! And the whole essence of a Porsche!!!!
I completely agree. I grew up on Hondas and have built many. But my all time favorite was my 91 civic hatch with a full jdm si-r conversion and a semi built all motor k24/20 frankenstein combo. Over double the factory hp, crazy light with my nannies or assists and the awesome, nostalgic late 80s/ early 90s look. One of the best feeling transmissions I’ve ever felt too.
Agreed. My experience is extremely limited being 6’3” 230 (Miata is a no go) but I did manage to squeeze into my friends Lotus Exige S and it was the best thing ever, even though my knees were touching the wheel. It made my ‘13 TT-RS feel like driving a Hellcat and it’s a small car lol.
When I was younger I had a very clean, low mileage and completel stock 1989 Mazda MX-5. To this day it's still one of my top 2 most memorable cars I've owned. It wasn't quick by any stretch, but it was so much fun.
One of my favorite things about this channel is how you really try to give the viewer the true sound of each car. One of the coolest porsches ever. Great job Chris!
That young man has built what has to be one of the nicest 356 Coupes in the USA. His skills and design ideas have played very well with the classic 356 body work. I hope to see more of his work in the future. I wonder what he would do with an early 911 or 912. Thanks for the ride.
Amazing video, I can totally relate as I bought a 914 after high school and have been transforming it into a hotrod myself(I'm now 44). My 914 had a type 4, then a 2.2 911, then a 350 V8, then a VW g60 and now has a VW 1.8t big turbo with a Boxster transmission. These cars are what you make them, no one wanted a rusty 914 when I began and now I have haters saying I've ruined a classic, but really I saved it from the scrapyard.
Do you have any content up? I had to sell my ‘76 2.0 4cyl after driving across the country and commuting for two years in it. They have a lot going for them. Always wanted to do a modest engine swap. One buddy called it a clown car, another called the body design “dumpster on wheels” 😂. They look rad though especially the clean interior.
This car is a reason I normally don't like Porsches. They are uptight and over purist. This car has been tailored to be truly driven w/ joy using whatever means were available. I love it!
I 1000% agree with this statement. Porsche owners have become unbearable in their blind devotion to the P marquee and the disrespect and even disdain they show towards other performance cars and even their owners has soured the brand for me. Porsches are wonderful cars but their owners... vary sad. Chris however has managed to create his own car. It's no longer a Porsche. It's Chris's Porsche. I love it.
Not true our neighbors drive their 911 and stacks on the miles and loves to wear it... not like others I know that have crazy cars with low miles. his coupe has over 200K on it and he's a generous guy when I ask to take it for a spin he ask if I will let him drive our 1959 Volkswagen ... he loves the rag top@@abikepeddler
Obviously not all Porsche owners behave in an elitist manner. Nearly every one of my friends now seems to own a 911... They are all decent people. But there is also that group that shows up to weekend Cars & Coffee, congregate together in a little clicky circle and refuse to engage with other car show participants. There's also the "club members".... The Porsche club of America. I attended one of their drive events in San Diego. The organizer had a driver's meeting before the drive where he went over safety and behavioral expectations of those participating. He said "reckless driving will mean expulsion from the event". He then proceeds during the drive to pass other participants on blank corners! The hypocrisy was enough for me to simply leave the event and never return. These are just random examples...
Nicole another great interview, thank you! This young man is introducing others to Porsche in a different and unique way which is awesome! I do the same with Shelbys. I build them to drive and not sit. This gets them out to an audience that don't normally see them in public. Inspire the next generation of hot rodders!
Yay (Yea, Yeah?)! Another great video by Nicole! First! Some Porsche purists probably went nuts when Chris modified the original steel body... I say why not build a car to your liking? I think it turned out great, especially considering he hadn't done that before. It seems he had an idea in mind, and just went for it. The only thing I'd be careful about is going up driveways and avoiding parking lot speed bumps, tearing off much needed bits and pieces. I'm surprised Nicole didn't put on a fake mustache and sombrero when she drove it, for the total bandito effect. Edited... Chris, you know you have made it when Nicole Johnson tells you she is going to 'drive the snot out of your car'. Lesser men would have whimpered and and changed their minds. Great job Chris!
When I get back to the mainland around April, I hope to meet you if you are going to the Luftgekult OK I will definitely be there for that show in April, and then fly back to the big island of Hawaii
I can understand the purist thing's restoration. We can also own him some respect for these modifications. I would prefer drive this one over a pure restored one. And i could be his friend...I am over 60!!
The thing I like about this one is the raw creativity, but also that with all the radical custom, is also all based on Porsche components. It looks a bit like- if a custom builder in 1959 had access to all these parts, this is what you would come up with. Nice job!
I have never been a Porsche fan, they seldom sounded "right" to me for some reason. THIS is cool. The sound is great. The engineering and hotrod creativity is fantastic. Kudos to Chris for doing what works for him. The creativity brings me joy.
This 356 looks like the homologue of a 70s cal-looker/drag-inspired VW bug, I love it!!! The stance and character with the widened rear fenders, amazing
Great episode! Chris is like how hot rodders and car guys used to be before it became so catalog dominated. This is my idea of a fun driving Porsche. A thoroughly enjoyable car that's meant to be driven. Those shots of eastern San Diego bring back a lot of memories. Great drives and beautiful scenery.
I love this "all expense spared" project that ends up as a fun driver looking like it cost way more. Another great car and builder brought to us by Nicole & the Detour team. Thanks & Happy Birthday Nicole!
Hello mario here, This porche 356 is my favorite car of all time , But dis bandido is great and its so stuck that the road handling must be very good , i like this car ❤ And yes i am a porche guy i like all kind of porches . P.S Nicole have a nice birhtday and remember age is just a nr .🎉 Bye from mario .
pretty cool. just needs a short throw shifter. Worse than my old beetle. I think those seats and not using seat belts adds to the overall experience. bracing yourself, sliding around a little in the turns, all part of the experience of driving a vintage car. windows that are rolled down a tad, all the things we don't typically do anymore in a new car. with 250 horse this car is way faster (top speed) than necessary, i hope it is geared for pulling. 80 in third maybe?
For such a hodge podge mix of parts, it came together really clean. That exhaust sounds great. I've never liked Porsche exhaust sounds, but this one is loud and deep.
DDDAAAMMMNNN !!!!! this is nice thank you for this video. Thank you. This is your subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles, but watching this over on the big island of Hawaii thank you this is nice.
The sound, the technique, the performance of all the craftsmanship that went into this Bandido Porsche 356 - just amazing. As I wrote in a comment to another of your outstanding videos: I envy you guys over there in the US since such a machine would never ever be allowed on the road in my country - which is, by the way, not the only point of envy I have these days. Can't wait for the next detour footage! Bolko from Germany
Hey Nicole, I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your recent video. It was fantastic, and I particularly loved the humorous touch at the end. Your driving skills are seriously impressive, and the sound quality is top-notch. Watching you behind the wheel was exhilarating - you've got some serious talent! I must say, I'd love to ride shotgun with you sometime. I'm a bit of a car enthusiast myself, and I recently purchased a Velar HSE 250 from 2019. It's an absolute beauty to drive. But back to your driving style and expertise - you're a total badass, and I mean that in the best possible way. You're not your typical Barbie doll - you're the real deal, and it's incredibly refreshing to see. Your videos always have that extra edge, and I can't thank you enough for the entertainment. Keep doing what you're doing! And on another note, I have to give a shoutout to the creator of the Hot Rot - wow, what an amazing piece of work. It's clear that a lot of talent and hard work went into it, and I have nothing but respect for what he achieved. Thanks again for the awesome content, Nicole. Looking forward to your next video! Ubbe
It's crazy to me how good Porsche's sound and how stupid Subaru's sound. Subaru's sound like they're running on 3 cylinders or are way out of time or something. This car is super cool. 250 hp probably feels like 450 in a car this light. Another winner Nicole!
That sound is awesome! Reminded me of Herbie from the original Love Bug which had a Porsche engine in it too. Sometime glasspack silencing sounds the best - one of the best-sounding V8s I ever heard was a 3rd gen Firebird with Glasspack Thrushes on it - it let the V8 sound through but also had this high-pitched wheezing sound that followed the revs.
. Love your car choices this Porsche is another delight, everyone please check you subscription status some how I became unsubscribed. Which is sad because might miss Nicole's laugh or hear that true petrol head grin that sounds like a flat six on the boil. Chris Barba great car seriously wonderful and you are hilarious my friend I've never met.
On the street in Orange County, CA. that I "grew up" on . The guy who lived across the street from my house his older sister had a Porsche 356 in the color orange .I'm not sure which I was in love with more the Porsche or his sister. But it didn't matter they were both way out of my league. When you said Bandido the first thing that I thought of was the car club from San Diego, CA. that races at Bonneville.
I’m loving everything in this video, the most the way you understand step by step how the car works and drives. I love that process of progressive discovery that usually is removed or shown as a problem in other channels. It’s organic! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸 , I’m a fan!!
Way better than Emory. Mechanical upgrades, Styling touches here and there but no grotesque bodywork. The rear air duct was done in period so it works. Nice job.
I absolutely love it, specially the sound! ❤ And lest we forget, Ingenuity is also on Mars right now. But that landscape through which you were driving, if it were minus any vegetation, could almost look like Mars, kind of, maybe. 😉
What a cool car... have always loved them since watching them race around the Birmingham Super Prix street circuit in the 1980's... I remember they we all scraping their sides around the armco bend. But whats with the extreme camber on the rear wheels of this one?? Plus once it powers off and squats down, the contact patch will be even worse... or am I missing something?
The camber is to fit the wider wheels and tires under the arches while keeping them at stock height. Also it doesn't squat as much as you'd think under acceleration, so the contact patch doesn't change too much. It does great around an autocross circuit as is!
What an absolutely cool Porsche! The owner reminds me of a friend when I was a teen named Devereux, chill dude and the mayors stepson. This car makes me think of my Miata, not massively powerful, but a whole package. Everything done with a purpose and tastefully. Love the hard work and story!!
Purist or not anyone appreciates talent and a beautiful ride. I'd cut up any car if I knew how and transform it into something amazing . He's done a beautiful job . Love this car
This is awesome in so many ways..... Let the "purists" huff 'n puff ultimately it's his car to do with as he wants... Happy Birthday Nicole 10/03 I'm 11/03!
Bandito and outlaw doesn't really mean the same thing. Being an outlaw was a specific punishment in medieval Europe where the law didn't apply to you anymore. Meaning anyone could kill or rob you without fear of prosecution. This forced you to live outside of society in hiding as you officially didn't even exist. Bandido in Spanish means, criminal or desperado. Not necessarily someone who has yet been outlawed by the King.
An “outlaw” Porsche is hot-rodded, modified away from the stock design, often ticking off the purists. Rod Emory is the original king of Outlaw 356 Porsches, commonly known within the Porsche community. Bandido is the Spanish word for outlaw.
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Yes, I know of the Outlaw Porsche brand. It's the translation that is not 100% on point. At least in Spanish, Spanish. Don't know if there is differences in Mexican Spanish and Spanish Spanish like it is with English, English and American, English.
This is probably my favorite car that you have driven. Very talented young man. Would love to drive that on a vary twisty road and throw it around a bit. As usual you had fun.
Chris has built the best 356...in the world! You...gave it the best workout it may ever see! Mahalo for another spectacular test drive of a spectacular car! Aloha!
Thank you so much for taking my hot rod for a ride Nicole! Had a blast filming with you and the crew!
We appreciate you and had a great time!!! Can’t wait to see what you build next!!
Love your car man! I built my 240Z in a similar style. The purist can have theirs I choose to do it my way too!
What a nice car! I really love your get in there and make it work with what you have kind of mindset, as opposed to throwing money at problems. And the car seemed to have turned out just right. Really cool what you've achieved with that
Chris, your 356 is the best example of a 356 on the planet. Absolutely love the sound of the flat six!!
@@RealCelticGamer for REAL, seriously one of the coolest iterations of that car i ever seen.
I hate to say it, considering how modern cars are, but anyone who has not driven a truly lightweight performance car is living in automotive pleasure driving ignorance.

A 914 with the Performance and Handling he engineered might "Surprise" people 😂 !!
Yes...we agree!! We're so glad you like it!!
What he would do with a 911? I'm thinking he would part it out! 😊
This kid is a genius. This show rocks!! Can't thank you enough for doing this. What a car. Damn!!!
Thank you for watching...we're glad you enjoyed!!
Better to drive a low powered car at ten tenths, than a high powered car at 7 tenths.

Awesome 😎😎😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
We're so glad you enjoyed watching...thank you!!
I’m loving everything in this video, the most the way you understand step by step how the car works and drives. I love that process of progressive discovery that usually is removed or shown as a problem in other channels. It’s organic! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸 , I’m a fan!!
Thank you so much...we appreciate that!! Greetings from U.S.A.
I don’t know which is my favorite part of this video. Is it the car, Nicole’s bad case of the winds, or the fact that he called her The Hamburgler?
Hahahaha!!! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!!
Yet another crazy fun ride with Nicole and a truly talented creator/builder!!! Keep em comin!!!
Thank you Dustin!!!
I would love to have a shop like that. Great video.
Thank you for watching!!
Way better than Emory. Mechanical upgrades, Styling touches here and there but no grotesque bodywork. The rear air duct was done in period so it works. Nice job.
Thank you for watching...glad you like it!!
Greetings from the UK, I love your videos Nicole , and look forward to seeing your latest , you are so talented and enthusiastic.
Greetings to you!! Thank you so much for the nice comment!! We really appreciate it!!
I absolutely love it, specially the sound! ❤
And lest we forget, Ingenuity is also on Mars right now. But that landscape through which you were driving, if it were minus any vegetation, could almost look like Mars, kind of, maybe. 😉
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!!
What a cool car... have always loved them since watching them race around the Birmingham Super Prix street circuit in the 1980's... I remember they we all scraping their sides around the armco bend. But whats with the extreme camber on the rear wheels of this one?? Plus once it powers off and squats down, the contact patch will be even worse... or am I missing something?
The camber is to fit the wider wheels and tires under the arches while keeping them at stock height. Also it doesn't squat as much as you'd think under acceleration, so the contact patch doesn't change too much. It does great around an autocross circuit as is!
So many talented people out there! Thanks heaps🇦🇺
Yes...we agree!! Thank you for watching!!
Nicole , you are a treasure !
Keep 'em comin' !
Best wishes from 'Straya 🇦🇺 😂
Thank you!!! Best wishes to you!!!
What an absolutely cool Porsche! The owner reminds me of a friend when I was a teen named Devereux, chill dude and the mayors stepson. This car makes me think of my Miata, not massively powerful, but a whole package. Everything done with a purpose and tastefully. Love the hard work and story!!
Thank you for the comment!! We really appreciate you watching!!!

Thanks! We filmed this on my birthday in January 😊

Bandito and outlaw doesn't really mean the same thing. Being an outlaw was a specific punishment in medieval Europe where the law didn't apply to you anymore. Meaning anyone could kill or rob you without fear of prosecution. This forced you to live outside of society in hiding as you officially didn't even exist. Bandido in Spanish means, criminal or desperado. Not necessarily someone who has yet been outlawed by the King.
An “outlaw” Porsche is hot-rodded, modified away from the stock design, often ticking off the purists. Rod Emory is the original king of Outlaw 356 Porsches, commonly known within the Porsche community. Bandido is the Spanish word for outlaw.
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Yes, I know of the Outlaw Porsche brand. It's the translation that is not 100% on point. At least in Spanish, Spanish. Don't know if there is differences in Mexican Spanish and Spanish Spanish like it is with English, English and American, English.
Love you videos Nicole and the way you drive , I can't wait for the next video
