Have you used AMS Porsche for any Porsche related work? Or had any sort of interaction. Appreciate the note here but unless you have experience with AMS Porsche, I feel that your comment is not constructive. Have a nice evening 👍
@@invictusporsche "Have you used AMS Porsche" I haven't, because I respect my money, and I buy from brands that also respect my money ... cars with 2JZ and/or Nissan DETT engines in them … you know, cars that have been engineered properly ... engines that don't need £10k+ worth of rebuild after two months!!! My brother bought I porker, and I told him not to. The engine blew, he had bits falling off the car, and in the end, he sold it for less than his used underpants. Personally I went for a properly engineered Japanese car, that has literally had fewer bills in its entire lifetime, than my brother did in one year of having the Porsche, and my car still works perfectly, and it's faster than his ex-Porsche! And Porsche UK, all I can say is; those people really don't give a f@*# Porsche - Utterly disgusting company!
You don’t need the music. What you say is really interesting. Just turn it down a little. Lovely car I personally wouldn’t buy a gen1 unless it’s been rebuilt. I’m going to pay the extra for a gen2 to be on the safe side. Great video
Thank you Dave, appreciate the note about the music and to be honest with you. I do not like the music either. Paying the extra for a Gen 2 is definitely the way to go :) glad you made the right call.
HI all, I need some advice from experienced Porsche guys. In essence I wonder what's the wise choice between a high mileage (around 220.000-km) 997 in neglected bodyshell condition (albeit never crashed) at around € 24.000,00 and a decent 997 with let's say a real 150.000 Km on the odo and in pretty good Int./ext. shape with a good service history at around € 48.000,00 . As an enthusiast I'd go for the first option yet I'd like to read your suggestions too .Thanks a lot !
Inspect the 24k one and then spend money on it to bring to that ideal condition. Also have a good specialist lined up that can do the work without giving you too much of a headache otherwise ruins the experience
@@invictusporsche I agree Sir, that's my standpoint as well. Nontheless I know what I get first when buying, and then when having the job done. Greetings!
With 911's, every owner should know that a rebuild is on the cards at some point. If you factor that into your plans, it won't be a shock and you can improve longevity by choosing a high quality engineering company to do the rebuild. Look to install upgrades like the Nikasil liners, higher compression pistons, upgraded IMS, RMS, lightened flywheel, short throw shifter etc etc etc If you plan the rebuild into your ownership, it becomes an exciting opportunity. Alternatively, you can buy a 911 that has had a recent rebuild and take the guesswork out of ownership and the large bills.
Great knowledge you have their and I agree with everything you have said and all these things you suggested are definitely worth doing as it will make the car absolutely top notch. Basheer
@@invictusporsche Thanks Basheer, all of these videos you produce help people acquire knowledge to make an informed purchase, so thanks to you and your team for your efforts.
The truth is any engine is susceptible to bore scoring if it isn't serviced properly, or it's revved hard before the oil is fully warm. My mate's M3 has bore scoring but no one even checks M3s for scoring. There's always some risk of it, regardless of what car you buy. You can't magically protect an engine if you're not going to treat it properly.
There's no doubt that if you can find a 997.1 Carrera S with Nikasil liners you're getting a car that's basically as good as a 997.2 for a lot less cash.
You are right that Nikasil liners can future proof the engines. The real thorn in the back side on these 911's is all the coolant pipes which is what causes the scoring in the first place as the engine is not getting sufficient cooling.
@@invictusporsche that's why a Hartech rebuild is best, because they modify the coolant paths in the block to remove that issue, use Nikasil liners and put in bore support as well for extra protection.
Can you rebuild s 997.1 bore scored engine? And how much it will cost?
Hi Derrick, yes my friend. A basic rebuild will start at £7,000 and can go upto £12,000 depending on additional works if you decide to do those items.
Basic question: does it have a flat plane crank?
I just finished having my 911 rebuilt, went from a 3.8 to 4L. Was this wise or bust
That’s the proper way to do it if you have the budget. Have you driven it yet?
Thanks for reply, greetings from Toronto Canada, still waiting
Does 997.2 suffer from bors scoring issue?
There are very few cases of it having scoring issues so overall they are very safe
This guy has limited Knowledge. If you want a genuine engine rebuild it has to be Hartech in Bolton.

There are plenty of dissatisfied Hartech customers

Not even a mention of Hartech. 🤷
We will do in our next video as we had three engine rebuilds and one of the three had the new liners installed by Hartech.

@@pjay3028 again you are spot on and that is the reality with any car, if they are poorly maintained they will fail no doubt.
