Every modification done to my 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 

You’re killing me. The owner of the first shop that I ever worked at was in Canoga Park and he had a 1988 930 that I would “test drive “ when he would go on vacation. As far as the headlight burnt plugs I agree that a better quality end is necessary but a common problem with German ( mainly BMW) is that they need a redundant ground to prevent terminals from melting. Take care and enjoy the new addition to your family. May his first words be “ Porsche “

For the headlight bezel, maybe de-chrome with muriatic acid, prime and paint to match? For the weight, a lithium starter battery would save a quick ~30#. Pretty expensive but relative to Porsche ownership not so much, plus they last about twice as long.

Did the same thing on my 84 Targa. I am down to 1000.80 Kg With the original bumpers and muffler. You forgot the starter and the barn door. the barn door can be replaced by a BMW hot wire system. from DE in Germany. Gives you wayyyy more throttle response. If i change the seats and bumpers I am easy under a 1000kg. Put a 993 exhaust manifold (3 flanges need to be rewelded to fit the studs on one side only), change the engine oil line, open your original muffler and make it a 2 out. More weight saving and more HP similar to an SSI. You have not started yet bro. Get rid of the G50. too heavy.

Hey Mike! You are getting popular! One of my friends sent me a video of you (the PCA chair welcoming all types of P-car owners). I told him I helped you buy this car years ago, lol. I should do a video about mine! I never show off any of my stuff. (this is Adam btw) Didn't I tell you not to sell your tail way back then? I think I remember that.

Enjoying your videos. You can swap out those big BMW seats for lightweight buckets. You could save much and would look more . . . porsche.

Love that 911. Some observations: a sunroof delete might get about 25 lbs out of the top of the car. Not sure what the current seats weigh but there could be lighter options. Agree with you about the mufflers being an easy target. Last but not least, depending on the tire size you chose vs stock, you may have shortened the final drive ratio with the 15” setup. That would be cool.

Another great vid, Mike! I love hearing the history and progression of the car, I wish I had done a better job with mine as it's quite different than when I bought it. My goal is to "add" lightness while keeping it a good street car.

does your MOMO has spacer? or eccentric spacer? how talla re you? asking cause im in the process of getting a MOMO

Where did you get the door cards from? Rennline?

8:51 I did the exact same thing to my 77’ for the same reason.

Have you thought of getting rid of the flag mirrors they are solid metal and really heavy vitaloni race mirrors much lighter and look nicer. Prefer the longer videos like to see some of the meets you take the cars on as well as the mechanical vids. Keep up the good work

Crap I live just down the street from Johnson’s. They kick ass and they usually have some good eye candy sitting there.Your cars great and I like the revers ability aspect your taking with it.Olive looked a little jealous back there😂

Thanks Michael, just as suggested! Agree with your thought process on the 1988, you have other cars that can be more raw.

The car is gorgeous. Nice work done.

I’ll trade you factory wheel for that Momo. It’s in very good shape :)

Concerning the muffler - have a look onto Bisimoto's Pulse Chamber. This might be the lightest muffler you can get for the 911. Also you gain more power and torque...

… & now you’re selling it? so many cool memories.

Forgot to mention that these seats are usually not in the car. I have a set of sparco bucket seats I’ll put back in soon. This is a much longer video than usual. Please leave a comment if you enjoyed this or prefer the shorter videos. Thanks for the feedback. It’s difficult to know what you guys like without it. Cheers.

I have an 87 911 Carrera. Didn't realize they weighed that much. I did some of the same weight saving things you did. I did a heater backdate. You should definitely consider it. Really cleans up the engine compartment. And you lose about 12lbs. or so.

I was like where is the tail? 15:35 hit me hard. Oh man...that's tough.

I totally get making the weight savings deletes, but I question the engineering and the change in balance and drive of the car. It’s a job for the professionals. But let us know how she drives.

Thanks for sharing

Dude are you in Chatt?? If so we should go for a drive

So much cooler from then to now.

It's a great car. Amazing how much weight you took out of it without doing something like changing to a fiberglass hood/deck lid. Agree with you regarding the wheels. I like smaller wheels with a bit more tire sidewall vs big wheels and low-profile tires. Rides better and looks better (to me). Gauges look great. Much better than the white. Changed my headlights to H4s as well, but bought mine with the primed/painted rings. Then I had them painted to match the car. Petrol blue for my SC. Repainted the original sugar scoops at the same time, so if trend swings back to the scoops, I can switch back with some fresh ones.

great car..

The exposed oil lines are looks ugly i also missing the nice factory seats and bumpers. Altough i’m a turbo fan because it just looks so much better.
