What a handsome fleet! A base RWD 996 in Thailand still demands good money, let alone the GT models. I hope the prices don’t blow up before I can afford one…
Awesome to see what you guys did for this under supported chassis. Are you guys able to offer the machined parts like the adapter for Mitsubishi cam/crank sensor, the coil bracket and the part number of the coils? If so, who do I contact? This could really be good for these cars to become more modern. Thanks
I have a 280s (carburated 2.8 liter inline 6 with 156 hp) and its slow and guzzles gas like a big guy and it has broken ac, missing trim pieces, broken rpm gauge, broken ac and a cracked dash but it's still the most comfortable car I have ever driven. The looks I get as a young person driving a car that is more than twice the age are also priceless. And you can also have some fun woth it in the snow and dirt parking lots. All in all a very good and comfortable car
I’ve had 2 911s and currently have a Vantage. It all depends on your definition of “better”. At the end of the day, even my Turbo felt like an appliance, whereas driving the Aston is an event every time, and it is for me what you chaps call my “daily driver”. But. If I had to travel 250 miles in a hurry on a winter’s day, I’d want my Porsche back…… Horses for courses.
Yea I am aware that I am very biased lol. Having said that, I agree that the new 911s (starting from 991) have been very boring unless youre driving a GT car. I still much prefer the 996/997 or aircooled cars of the past.
Have to addres that better person -phrase. Once drove 126, and but was i bit nervous or maybe more like charged at first, on a foreign car, yet other hand, had warm feeling. I saw a long hood with star on top, a new experience. You do not see a hood out of car seat nowdays them are so tilted like windscreen extension or shit like that. Forget what you have taught or you think about driving all about. Just relax and let the star on hood quide you and engine whispers you instructions. And, I did, and suddenly saw a traffic kind out of a new perspective. It was not a race who gets a longer stick, more like a sailing, watch the wind and tidal waves, and feel the flow lead to conform those elements. So, was I better human, on that trip. Well...yes, it was presented out as a better driver.
Close to that bike at 13:47 !!! Great comentary actually, your driving with the story line was very captivating. Good luck with your journey buddy, those Are great numbers for just a compression upgrade ! "It doesn't need more tw, you just need to rev it higher" YES. 😎
Great review. I liked your presentation style. The sad thing is I live In the united states. This car is not available for us and likely will never be. My choices are only the RS6, Upcoming M5 Touring(Hybrid), and possibly the Upcoming AMG E53 Wagon(Hybrid).
u keep saying go STAND ALONE as if we know what the hell that means... watched the vid and a few interesting things u did to her but no clue what ur talking about regards stand alone with an ecu... can only guess u used a completely diff modern ecu that stands alone from the rest.. or um... u broke circuits down individually or what ?
Great video and explanations! I have a 944 Turbo that is getting a Maxxecu. The problem is I cannot find a tuner familiar with the Maxxecu. How did you get it tuned? I hope to find someone who can do it remotely, then maybe a dyno after that. Thanks!
Just admit the power scared the shit out of you so you had no idea how to drive it threw corners and didn’t have the balls to actually test it. Oh and about the brakes. 100kph - 0 in 33m. It will put you through the windscreen with no belt. Tried it myself.
I used to buy the ‘80’s German car magazines at the local cigar store. This four door AMD model was reviewed in the dark, inky, metallic blue, a similar color Porsche called Petrol. Best, great channel, as always.
Firstly congratulations on your build - 98% complete - proper suspension overall will iron out all those dings and wobbles. Your friend is a KEEPER - what a fantastic job on the build and overall presentation of the bay is TOPS - The wait since your last vid post was worth whilst and I am looking forward to your next outing! Enjoy the ride
@@FizzyMotors Big LOVE for MST & how they continue to develop both MK1 and 2 platforms - You mentioned your engine is from the Ford Ranger with forged internals - you running standard cams ? Have you dynod the car ? Very responsive all the way through which is solid. I am in the process of installing a 2litre Pinto with a 285deg Piper cam with some engineering done to the head..... Not sure it will be as meaty as your setup but should be good.
@Italanmo yea it has upgraded cams, makes 190hp at the wheels. Unfortunately I don’t know the spec of the cams because the previous mechanic did not tell me…
