Bringing a modern and new car culture forward for the next generation of enthusiasts.
I grew up around cars, it's in my DNA and it's something I shared passionately with my father. Now it's my turn to carry the car culture forward. Here at nineelevensouth you will find videos about custom builds, car shows and events, detailing, product reviews, and driving experiences - all centered around bringing a younger generation of car enthusiast forward.

Neither one of you mentioned something very important to a owner of any previous generation 911 like myself. Starting w/the 991.1 cars, Porsche removed access to the engine bay w/o having to remove multiple parts such as the taillights, the rear bumper, the rear wheels & tires, etc. I've watched a few videos of 991 owners including at least one Porsche Technician showing how to get access to the engine bay. The Porsche Technician removed all the various parts such as the rear bumper, etc & did it in about 30 - 45 mins - because he knew what he was doing. It took DIY Porsche 911 owners considerably longer. I'll stick w/my 997.2
@@Alans63 thanks. The comparison was between two 991s so this didn’t really come into play. There are a lot of difference between the 997 and 991. But I appreciate you posting the info!
Not unless you want to be able to see live data. Otherwise, you just plug it in to flash the ECU/PDK map and then unplug until you want to change something.
@@Goelmoel these tips were a special order o worked out with Soul. That said, you could prime and paint them with high heat primer and ceramic flat black spray. That’s what I did for my 997. There’s a video of it on my channel.
I’m going through the process of getting another Porsche and looking at Boxster 987.2 and your wrap and wheel colour is exactly what I was planning although I thought the wheel colour was Aurum 🤷🏼
No drive by clips handy, but there are some more sound clips here: cyphervehicledesign.com/collections/exhaust/products/beautifully-brutal-sound-muffler-delete-carrera-models
Congrats on your purchase. Can you do a comparison on your 997.1 vs 997.2 Manual just like how you did one for the 991.1 vs 991.2. Would love your opinion on it because I am also in the market for a 997. But I am leaning more towards the 997.1 as it looks more classier with the lights bumper etc.
My 997.1 is transformed with DSC controller Bilstein B16's, and Monoball strut mounts. I had it corner balanced as well. Totally different car. Highly recommend!
While the DSC Controller is "plug-n-play", installing one is the equivalent of "adding knobs to the existing dampers, allowing one to adjust damping parameters". There are those who install it, and say, "I don't like it", or "I didn't notice the difference between sport/normal modes". Most of the stock settings are the same between modes, up to a certain vehicle speed, where it wouldn't be until higher speeds are reached where changes become more perceptible over bumps, and in the corners. If the stock settings are not to one's liking, it would be a disservice to the device, and yourself, if the settings weren't changed, to get the car to the desired behavior, before passing judgement.
I waited on getting one for my 997 Turbo and then finally got one and don’t know why I waited. Made the suspension much better & more enjoyable almost like getting rid of the gut renching bounces and I also feel like it helped the steering/turning some. Must have upgrade. Someone told me it upgraded the suspension technology to 2017+ oem specs not bad for the ‘07-‘13 997 oem specs. Yes, yes all day long as you said. Cheers
I'm curious what people think about the DSC controller vs. a good set of coilovers like KW v3? It seems like the coilovers would be a better setup, although more expensive. Thoughts?
Depends on what your car is doing/not doing, and what you want it to do/not do. DSC Controller is "6-way" controllable, and adapts damping based on vehicle dynamics. KW's have only one setting, once they're set.
You need the accelerometer for full functionality. I’m surprised it’s omitted here. Also, in my opinion the standard setup is really good. Improvement is overemphasized in these videos. The improved adjustability is nice if you are willing to hook up your PC and spend a couple hours trying to figure out how to make the adjustments…. Which is not at all a straightforward task but lots of fun/entertainment for enthusiasts.
@@ksm1972fut yes you do if you have a 997.1 non turbo. All others, you don’t need one. My bad for passing over that in the video. I did install one on my car.
I’ve only ever heard good things about the DSC controller. It’s on my list. Did you need an accelerometer for yours? I understand the 997.2s need that or some sort of peripheral device. Edit: just read the post below, seems like it’s not mandatory on all applications.
I put the DSC on my 997.1 4-5 years ago. After 30k miles and 30 track days I can say without hesitation it’s a fantastic upgrade. It makes the car more compliant over sharp bumps and sportier through fast turns by reducing body roll significantly more the stock PASM tune. Whatever your driving style it’s a worthwhile upgrade short of hardcore tracking.
Thanks for the info, mate! I have a 997.1 C4S and am thinking of getting the DSC for my car. I read that for the 997.1 there is an extra sensor required. Do you have that on your car?
@@daggidding4478 I have the extra sensor on my 997.1. It is necessary for all 997.1 Porsches except turbos. The shop installed the extra sensor in an hour.
This video is awesome! I’ve been trying to investigate how to customize those Recaro Sportster CS. Thank you NineElevenSouth. Excellent video and channel! Go 997S!
