Porsche 964 Top 10 Modifications 

YES! thanks very much for the comment and the subscription! Really appreciate it. 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey thanks so much! I may be somewhat biased but I tend to agree. Have always loved the 964!

@@lastrasp Rightfully so

Thanks so much for the comment! Glad to have 964 owners checking out the channel (hope you guys still take a look when I drop a 991 video 😂)

It’s definitely one of the iconic and defining characteristics of the air cooled 911 era.

Hey Chris, thanks so much mate!

YESSS!!! So great to hear this Robert. I'm sure you'll be super happy with the V1's - as for the enthusiasm, I think the relationship with a 964 is like any other great relationship. Sometimes it can be a little bit rocky and you need to work at it. But it's with that perseverance that connection forms between you and the car. And when it's good, it's great!

That’s a really good point! You’re going all in on your 993 mate!

Many thanks Pal! Hope to see some more from your channel soon!

Great news Johan. Such fantastic cars! What modifications have you made so far?

Hey thanks so much mate!

How great is James!? Such a great dude and he's been really helpful for me, spreading the word about my channel. Can't thank him enough. Thanks for checking out the video!

That’s awesome to hear! Great stuff.

Finding / planning mods is the best part! I keep leaving full carts on Design911, Rennline, Elephant Racing, Pelican..... 😂

Ooh I love this. Can’t ever see myself going wide body but seat inserts would be awesome. I’ve considered going pepita. I’ll be doing the interior next year.

Hey thanks so much for watching. Really appreciate it.

Thanks so much James! Yep, I absolutely love the wheel. Perfect dish, understated styling and lovely leather.

Thanks very much for the feedback. Really hope you can find a 964 to enjoy. Such great cars!

Thanks very much James! Now just need a bigger engine!?

Thanks so much ! I always ride safe - you too!

Hey Tom, thanks for checking it out. You know i love your car too!

Cheers mate. Thanks so much for checking it out!

Thanks for the feedback and the subscription! Loving your channel too.

Were you looking for Forest Green or did the right car just happen to be Forest Green? I was the latter - knew the car's history looked good and as soon as I saw it, loved the look.

@@lastrasp Like you, found the car that worked and the colour came as an added benefit. Car had Cup 2 wheels and a stock stance. I knew there was something I didn't like, but after seeing yours (which a friend sent me), I knew it wasn't colour!

Hey thanks so much! No doubt about the BBS wheels - although one day I'd like some Speedlines too! 🤔

Sounds like you've gone all in with your car! Also sounds as though - like me - the car has become a part of the family and something you plan to hold on to. I totally get that - I feel the same about mine. Wish I'd bought mine 20 years ago too! 😂

Oh thanks so much mate! Really appreciate it.

I totally get that. I was always the same. What I love about the 964 is how well it takes visual changes.

Cheers Marc! How long have you had yours?

@@lastrasp Just over 5 years now, but did nothing the first few years and now looking to get a few bits done 😬

@@ngmaks nice one. I’ll be reversing a mod soon. Vid to come.

Thansk so much Jeroen!

Hey thanks so much!! I love every 964!

Oh man, thank you! You know I'm a big fan of your work so I appreciate the comment 🙏🏼

@@lastrasp you’re most kind! Pleasure is all mine 🍻🍻

Cheers again!

Hey Ryan. Appreciate the comments! Yeah I’ve been in touch with Butzi. Just waiting for more caps to come in. 👍🏼👍🏼

Hey thanks so much for subscribing and commenting. The hunt for that first air cooled car is an exciting one for sure. There are a few good cars on the market right now. I quite like the blue SC on Collecting Cars 👌🏼

Thanks so much Jay. appreciate you checking it out!

Gotta do it!

Shawn, thanks so much for checking out the channel, post seeing the panel discussion and then a big thanks for reaching out. Spot on, about having fun and not worrying about resale. I also believe that if the mods you make are tasteful and well thought out, the'll have a less detrimental effect on the value and - in some cases - can actually increase it. Didn't start the channel to make money (given what I've spent upgrading gear lately, it's safe to say I'm well behind ). It's a passion project. Nice to create content about my favourite brand and push myself to learn to shoot, edit, write and present better each time. Thanks again for the comment!

Oh man PP’s are so great. Would love to fit them in mine at some point!

Please do - you definitely won’t be disappointed! BTW the bbs on your car in that colour💪🏻

Hey thanks so much. I think Darin makes such good products. Love his work. Thanks so much for the comment.

Thanks so much Robert! 👍🏼👍🏼

Such great news! Have you owned other Porsches or will this be your first?

@@lastrasp I had a 944 S2 several years ago but 964s here in the UK are fetching big money so I had to wait a good while until getting the funds together . keep up the great work with the channel

@@andybpoole that’ll make it all the more sweet. 👍🏼

Hey thanks so much!

Oh man, what a car you've got! I think the 981 GTS ticks SO many boxes. I'd been looking for a 981 S before turning my attention to the 991. If I'd not needed to make it a daily driver, I'd have gone 981 for sure!

Hah! Thanks Sean and welcome to the channel.

Thanks so much. I feel very lucky to have the combo I do. That colour combo may not be readily available for a 991 GTS, BUT it's a GTS! Lovely!

Thanks so much. Very rare to see a factory wiper delete here in Australia. It certainly rains plenty in Melbourne but I never miss it. When I redo the interior I'll cover over the cavity in the parcel shelf and change the rear glass so it'll be gone for good.

Oh wow, just when I think I've gone right down the rabbit hole, along comes you with what sounds like an unbelievable build! David thanks so much for sharing every change you've made. This is the best thing for me in starting this channel is hearing from people all over the world. I'm going to have to step up my modification game!

@@lastrasp yes, rabbit hole is an appropriate term. I’ve had my 964 for 10 years and done modifications over the last 3. My mechanics and I targeted the mods we did to give the most bang for the buck. It’s still a heavy lift. Beyond what I’ve done, getting into serious engine mods, the rabbit hole gets significantly deeper, and fast. We looked at doing individual throttle bodies with stand-alone engine management - $20K (US) - time to say it’s done and stop.

@@davidsherley2652 sounds like a sound strategy!

Thanks for checking it out! Yep E88’s on a green C2 are 🔥

Thanks so much Aggie!

Hey Frank, thanks so much mate!

I've never driven the NSW coast but I've heard there are some great roads up that way.

@@lastrasp i watched a few more of your videos and saw you're in Melbourne, and there are some great roads down that way. There are some great roads up here for sure. Ive got an older golf gti and is a blast to throw around. Keep up the great content. Im really enjoying it.

@@joelg4849 I've never driven a Golf GTI. hopefully one day! Thanks for the comments and for checking out the channel. New vid dropping this week!

Thanks Sean. From the moment I saw a 964 with E88's I knew i had to have them!

Best performance upgrade you can make. You’ll notice it in the way the car accelerates and corners. You’re welcome 😂 Truth be told though, it’s the little things. And honestly, every time I fill the car, I get a little smile from that filler cap.

@@lastrasp great video very . Front bumper and rear bumper where did you locate .

@@pierreperk7079 Rear bumper is original. Front bumper was replaced after a small accident, so I got the RS bumper (which deletes the headlamp washer jets.

@@lastrasp thanks you

@@pierreperk7079 my pleasure mate 👌🏼

Awesome, thank you so much!

Those BMW’s are great. Been on a few drives with a guy who has one and seen him leaving some pretty high powered Porsches for dead!

@@lastrasp Yeah i didn't want to put all my modifications in & seem like i was bragging but i love cars & talking cars! I'm 45 & I've been into this stuff my whole life. From mini bikes & go karts to dirt bikes four wheelers & 3 wheelers. But i love the car! I got so lucky because it's exactly how i would of ordered it. It's black with the black trim all around the windows from factory & a black gut! The interior trim is the dark ash wood trim. Which is only a small piece on the dash on the door handles to shut the door & around the shifter. I have an AFE intake with 3" VRSF catless down pipes. I run a billet VRSF charge. pipe with twin Turbosmart billet blow off valves with 60mm trumpets! I run a beautiful billet Agency aluminum intercooler. For my oil system which i have in boxes on my floor(waiting for the warm weather) i have a billet vargas crank case breather. It has a stainless hose clamp to hold the filter on. I bought a billet blue P2 hose clamp for that..it looks sharp! I bought a billet Radium oil catch can & bought some nice polished billet then blue anodized hose separators for the oil lines. I bought a billet PCV valve & the plastic cover that holds that in from the factory can fall. So i bought the cnc billet cover for it from R& B Turbo. I also run a big fuel pump with you guessed it a billet bracket lol. Car makes 550+H.P. with 20psi of boost all day in cool weather. Im gonna run water meth injection kit & crank the boost up to 22-24psi. I should be scraping or just past 600H.P. But that'll be for emergencies...lol. Car rips, i jumped on it in 3rd gear 3 wks ago & at 5 grand i was at 110mph. I can't imagine bringing it to redline 7k & then ringing it out in 4th...😛 I just ordered 90mm titanium studs & titek billet short lug nuts. If you're interested in checking it out? I have a small pg on instagram (jordanberry20) its not much but when the cars all finished im doing a nice video for RU-vid & pictures on instagram. My sons into photography.Have a happy New Year & sorry for the book & life story...😂🤣 Love talking cars though...👍🏁

Nice! How long have you had the C4? Love guards red.

@@lastrasp since 2014. I love it. 2021 will see some updates I think. A lightweight clutch and fly wheel is next.

Nice one. May require a chip to stop issues at idle. The Steve Wong chip is a good option for this.

@@lastrasp I got that chip a few years back. It made a difference to the stock engine. That MAF upgrade looks good thought, I got the FVD sports Cat and it's decent.

I did actually. So cool. But the sat nav function doesn’t work here in Australia. Bummer.

@@lastrasp best part of PCCM is CarPlay so the missing sat nav is less of an issue, if not a completely non issue IMHO. On a side note really love those BBS!

@@cwmac yeah that’s actually very appealing!

Hey thanks so much Paul!

Thanks very much for the feedback. That's a really interesting question actually. My car is an early 1990, pre-airbag car so I didn't come up against that. I imagine it probably would throw a dash light but I'm sure that could easily be remedied by a smart auto electrician.

Thanks so much for subscribing Craig. 3.3 or 3.6 Turbo?

@@lastrasp 1991 3.3 Black/Black

@@craigpeart7291 OOFT! Awesome combo 👍🏼

Good question! We re-routed the ignition leads from the top of the fan shroud which meant we could remove the old plastic moulding from across the top of the shroud which we then painted black. We painted the fan gold to match the wheels. The carbon fibre intake is available from Design911 as is the carbon heater blower delete pipe (there are a few different versions of that pipe available). If you're going to delete the heater blower motor there is a bridge relay required to ensure that the dash fan still works (available at Pelican Parts). We re-plated all the zinc fixings and then installed the Sleepers block off delete backing plate (from Sleepers Speed shop).

Thanks so much for the comment! Yeah contact Sleepers directly. They tend to do small production runs of their products so you may need to secure one that way. I'd suggest calling them as they can be a little slow responding to emails (in my experience at least). I've got the LWF which did cause stalling issues for me but the SW chip did a good job of sorting that. And then it was fine with the MAF chip too. Thanks again for the comment and for subscribing!

@@lastrasp Maybe an upcoming video discussing your cool wheels and tires? Size, width, offset (wheels and tires) as well has spacers (?), ride height (how you measured, if you did), stance and how adjustments affected the ride?

@@mickm6350 Yep absolutely, that's on the agenda. Next up is likely a more in depth look at the KW V3's including a comparison with the Bilstein PSS10's

@@lastrasp Great! I've had both KW V3s and Bilstein PSS10s. Somehow, I couldn't set up the KWs to feel right. So, went with the PSS10s. But, please share how you setup the KWs. Thanks

@@mickm6350 interesting as I’ve had both too but felt the opposite!

I've had a few people ask me about my coilover setup so that's on the list of upcoming vids and I'll definitely pick apart the differences I found in the PSS10's vs V3's (it's not night and day - i do believe they're comparable setups). I did just find the PSS10's a bit harsh. Is your car a C4 or C2?

Hey Andrew. Yep, I've got the primary bypass (Cup pipe) and then the Fister secondary.

Lots of great transitions and countdowns at Envato. That’s where I get mine 👌🏼

Hey Alex. The wheels are ET50 front and rear. If I had my time over, I'd have gone with a slightly more aggressive offset on the rear. I'm now running 3mm spacers in the rear so I'd be likely to go for ET47 on the rear wheels only. Rear tyres are a 265/35/18 and fronts are 225/40/18. The negative camber on the rear in the thumbnail pic has been eased off a little since then. Check out my video explaining all the specs on my E88's right here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KZ4ArvVjJn4.html

@@lastrasp Exactly the guidance I was lookimg for- thanks Andy

Yeah that’d be an interesting exercise. Although I must confess I try not to look at what I’ve spent. It makes for reasonably sobering reading! 😂

👍🏼👍🏼

Hey Sidd. I hadn’t actually. Not a bad idea though!

Fantastic mate. Make sure you have a PPI done and just note that those 89 cars (and early 90 cars) do have some differences with cars from late 1990. Rear suspension mount bolt pattern is an example. But if the car checks out in a PPI and you’re confident, then it sounds great. Excellent colour combo.

Sure is! Check out my video where I take it off. It’s not a quick five minute job. It easy enough to do in an hour or two. Currently running sans whale tail. I like both options but will always just slightly prefer no whale tail.

Had a Wong chip. Not too bad. Big change coming actually. Have deleted the fog lights with RS ducts (visual only). Cheers for the comment!

There's always someone keen to buy a 'new in box' Prototipo!

Thanks for subscribing! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼 The wheels are 18's (10 and 8.5). Will be doing a video focused on the E88's soon!

Nice work. Makes a lot of sense.

Hey Stephen. No spacers needed on mine.

Hey Gabe. 265/35/18 on the rear and 225/40/18 on the front 👌🏼

Cheers again!

Mine too! Wing has come and gone a few times but is now gone permanently.

It's such a good point you make - modifications are a slippery slope and sometimes, I hit pause as I've made some modifications which have actually set me back and had a negative effect. So it's important to consider each mod carefully - particularly when doing something like chasing a displacement upgrade. As for air conditioning, i assume you've had it re-gassed?

@@lastrasp Yah, had it degassed a few times. No real effect. Electronic seems the way to go. There is another company claiming to do something with the ECU (ecudoctors.com) to change the software and improve the cold air -- maybe a board swap - but I am skeptical of that -- seems to simple. Not sure if you've had experience with that type of solution?

@@Coldgecko Well mine has actually just bitten the dust! (found out this morning) May be an electrical issue so we'll have to see.

@@lastrasp I assume your referring to your electric AC? If so, I would like to learn about that.

@@Coldgecko Just the OE aircon.

They’re actually E88’s. 18’s. Check the specs here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KZ4ArvVjJn4.html

Thanks very much for the comment Matthias. Mentioning the Porsche designers weren’t thinking about the iPhone when they designed the 964 was kind of a joke and - to be fair - I didn’t say they forgot about it. I said they weren’t thinking about it. Which is actually true. Thanks again for watching ✌🏼

Hey Matthias - thought we had this conversation already 😉

@@lastrasp Really? Where?

@@matthiasf.1577 scroll down mate. Your original comment. Anyway, it was a tongue in cheek comment in the video. Of course there was no iPhone back in 89.

@@lastrasp That was a Matthias J. . Neither related nor related by marriage. (-;

@@matthiasf.1577 fair enough mate.

it's available directly from Sleepers Speed shop. I chose theirs as there is no modification required to the under tray of the car (which is needed with some C4 short shift kits). Definitely creates a notchy, mechanical feel to the shift.

Steering wheel is a Momo Mod 07

Cheers, thanks for the feedback. I'll keep it in mind.

Interesting observation. I was really impressed with the muffler when it arrived and 20,000 kms later, it hasn't missed a beat!

Actually bought it from a friend of mine. They do pop up on eBay though. Or get in touch with LA Dismantlers. 👌🏼

Hahaha! Classic.

Haha. There are certainly examples here in Australia of cars that started life as LHD and were converted.

Hmm, maybe coming!

😐
