Was Buying The CHEAPEST Porsche 911 a BAD Idea? (Hidden Costs) 

Make Sure You Check Out AutoTempest ➡: www.autotempest.com/?

You really are doing a honor for your father, and I think you should put your father’s name onto it.

It will look sick when it’s done

There was a worse 911. It’s from 2001

Can we just respect the amount of confidence and perseverance this guy has. He is openly throwing himself into this situation with a positive mindset. Underrated channel, much love ❤👍

A few things worth mentioning: bore scoring has nothing to do with oiling system inefficiencies, but more so the cylinder wall material (lokasil on M96/7’s, but Alusil used on the next generation 9A1’s). It also starts at the base of the cylinder and a proper bore scope should be performed through the sump. Going through the spark plug hole only shows 1/2 the picture and if scoring is that far advanced to be seen, you’re looking at a $20k+ rebuild very soon. Regarding the IMSB, it’s actually a brilliant design tainted by bean counters. All 911’s up to the 991 have an IMS, but the bearings are oiled, plain bearings, unlike the much maligned M96/7’s sealed ball bearing unit. Seal degrades, bearing goes dry and boom, full rebuild needed. Most people just recommend replacing it when a clutch is due and realize it’s a maintenance item. Check out Hartech, LN engineering and Flat 6 Innovations; they’re all wealths of knowledge with these engines! Ok, I’m done geeking out and I’m sub’d! I’ve owned a 996 for the past 6 years and love it enough to stick with it for a high performance rebuild. Until mine’s done, I’ll be looking forward to updates on yours!

Thanks for all the wonderful videos and shorts. I hope they continue :).

3:45 Isn't this preventable if you try to find better fitting piston rings? In the way you explain it it seems it has to do with the quality of those.

You should get facial plastic surgery to look like your father. Then drive it everywhere he would... wearing his old clothes. That's how you honor the man.

can i donate to you to help you with the 911?

Since you got the exhaust upgraded,you should try a body kit and upgrade the engine which is your choice. Body always lights a old cars spark,I mean then get a screaming Grey color and black rims

Waiting for more mods. Install some mods in the interior too..

No. It's cheap because of the problematic engine IMS bearing, bore scoring

A few stethic changes could be made, well only one really, get rid of the damn headlights and put some normal ones! The 996 is so low valued because of the damn headlights

Theres nothing more expensive than a cheap German car

If it ain't broke don't fix it - nf

I want one soooo bad

Where is garage rebuilt part 2 👀 (Love from India )

Hey captain crankshaft I love ur vids it's very interesting!

❤😂😂😂😂🎉😢😮😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 how are you? Young kids afford a Porsche like that I’m old man 57 years old can afford a Porsche. Oh well I like the video. Keep up the good work with the videos and that’s subscribe. Take care, bro. Have a good weekend and a good week next week.

Waiting for the garage haha:)

Bro you are a wonderful person. You are one of the channels that I respect most.

Over priced in the current used car market still in 2024. 90% of it is a Boxster but a bargain being a 911 at that. $15k 8 months ago? Not bad. Prior to covid they were all over the place $11-15k manual transmission. Low miles like in the 30k range $22k Every 1st 911 buyer afraid of being priced out of the 911 market started a bidding war on clean examples and prices started to go up. When the low mileage examples started to dry up, then the 80k-100k mile well maintained cars, prices on those went up, and people started to pay up to $30k 🤦 now the market is slowing down on 1st Gen 996's

I love your porsche and i think that the headlights look cool because of the porsche 911 gt1. Your dad may rest in peace

Buy one or else

The 996 was the most sold of all Porsche 911’s The IMS bearing, & bore scoring, are vastly exaggerated, in terms of occurrence But don’t let me intrude with facts, to spoil ‘scary content’ 😂

Where's the mods man

Love the long vids, keep it up man!

its a nice porche

OR, you can get a 987.2 Cayman S for not that much more money, and get a way better, newer, and more reliable car. Same power, too, if you compare both cars with a stage 1 tune.

Little and maybe stupid idea, why in stead of the porsche writing on the back, you put your father name with the same silver letters? Just to honor him, "the porsche (father name) 911" sorry for my bad eng hope you can understand what i said

Thats funny I clicked this vid and a porche ad came up 😂😂😂

There's nothing more expensive than the most depreciated used sports car available.

I would unabashedly run the GT3 Wing ✊

Cool vid bro

He said you’re stupid to not buy one. And yet we all think you’re stupid to buy one lol. You’re not that guy lol

I can’t wait for the upcoming vids about this car

Give a porch a new wheel and interior design

I cant wait for the results❤

I spent 5k on my Alfa Romeo sunsroof replacement 😢

Day 1of askin to buy bodykirs to them and make the rims cool

Love ur vids

Lots of love from India . Love your work . ❤❤

Audi has the same problems and they use the same parts

9/11💀, dont be serious just for fun 😂😂

nah man the worst 911 in the world was in 2001

Bro saying 911 like it's nothing

i think i'll just rent one for a week and get it out of my system

3 th place

I thought the worst 911 was in 2001

The lowest 996 in my country (belgium) costs 25k going up to 89k , why is the american market so cheap wtf

What about the porche boxtor does are cheaper found one whit 85,000miles for 7,000$

i can think of a few 911s that are worse

Rwb it

Its not done yet, right? its gonna be the coolewt after its done

5:21 (911 Had a plane not a car )

in Türkiye it cost 1,5m to 2,2m and the average salary is 8,5k 🙂

I like the 996 even from childhood it's the first porsche I bought on nfs mw as a kid and I like it more than the 911 Carrera in the game

Learning english + car

What year is this 911? My dad has one and seems brand new. (He’s got the 2001 carrera)

Does it come in automatic

When's the next video dropping?

To be fair to the 996 headlights.... They won le mans with 911 GT 1

Paint it blue man ❤❤

Love the vids when is the next garage vid going to come out

Dead serious I love the headlights! I like it more than my 997

Those headlights came off of the best looking race car Porsche ever built

it's good to get a bore scored cheap porsche because it means you can rebuild it to a bigger engine freshly rebuilt for cheaper than a good used 911

I get myself one and if the engine brakes I might as well just put a rotary inside!

only 15k lolmao

I mean the headlights are nicer then any other 911 headlight (if you have the 4s version)

Ls swap time

You inspire me to do this!

I’m tryinggg

Why does he sound like Mark Rober at the intro? Lmao

The g body cars can melt pistons if running lean

Love from India ❤❤

I always rush to watch these videos once uploaded. Great entertainment man.

I would be proud if I were your father honestly

You're channel deserves top tier recognition due to the context of the content you put out. You can find enough restoration/repair vids but advice that helps you make a decision and a budget before purchasing is pretty rare. I've been supporting you since the beginning and I shall support this journey for years to come! :) Good luck Captain.

I never comment on videos, but this was great. Keep it up!

U should add some bodykits and make it a little lowered

What about the 944? its super cheap rn plus its awesome

I just got a porsche add before this

porscheee 911

I think that it is amazing that you are buying a Porsche to honor your dad

ninenanaven

Eric! Sweet 996!

It looks great

the 944 is very underrated

Can you give me a iphone

Add a spoiler pls 😂

Bro where is the modification

Pls upload faster

Super gay

You should embroid your dads name on the seats that would be a sick tribute
