The troll at the beginning was great. So many people getting so mad. For the corner lights I vote amber covers. Just feels more correct for the era.
I was drooling to take all those turbokraft parts he was going to remove:)
As an aircraft mechanic that has years or experience on piston engines. The work to be done on the engine looks intimidating, but it’s really simple. I love how simple air cooled engines are. We have the exact same issues on planes.
Radials are better than all others, but man they leak oil. Went to a local engine run of a Bristol Hercules (Nanton), and man was there a lot of oil.
I'm in shock that it was 8 years ago that you rebuilt the Porsche! I had to go back an confirm for my sanity! I started following you guys right at the beginning when you started the ASS2000 project, so I guess it's true! It's been a fun journey watching you guys grow. Here's to 8 more amazing years!
Love to see the 930 getting an update. Also appreciate watching PT working so carefully and meticulously on R/R…there’s a real Bruce Lee economy of movement to seeing both of you work together
I like the amber on the front number, breaks it up yet matches the side marker on the fender as well.
Soooo hyped. I loved the original series. Glad you're getting back into this car again. Love seeing it on the channel.
Rock on!
This video has made me realize I have been watching TH-cam for way too long because I've been been watching you guys since before the 911 Turbo. Since Targa Newfoundland. You guys were still working out of that tiny garage back then.
Race wing, carbon fiber lip up front. I think the amber turn signal would look good slightly tinted along with the clear one. Would blend them. Modernizing all the exterior lights would really bring change the look, specially with the new wheels. Excited to see where you take this 🤘🏻👌🏻
Bucket list car. Updating all the suspension rubber bushings to fresh ones will transform the car. Love this update, very cool
I'm usually not a fan of huge spoilers but that second option wing I think is just the right amount of crazy
Yes, 500whp deserves a big wing
Forget the purist, drive what you love
Preach!
Exactly! Who cares about purists? Unless they're purists of having fun, because that's what driving should be about😉
Amen to that
Until you want to sell it...
Money is just money. Swapping is more fun and please drive it often after the swap.
I am leaning towards the Amber indicators and the Big wing ( I didn't think those words would ever come out of my mouth). Looks to be a fun build either way.
Agreed on the amber reflectors. Think they are more age appropriate. Think the car would look great with the yellow cup style head lights they tried before as well.
I really thing that race wing looks great. Matches the huge wheel flarebody line
Agreed, think it looks awesome. Really suits the black widowmaker reputation at the time and makes it look really aggressive. The added air feed would definitely help with engine bay coming as well.
The updates look great!
Re: Wing - Any updated Motorsport design would go well with the mechanical and aesthetic changes you’ve done.
Re: front splitter/lip. You could also go the motorsport route where they usually start with some flat stock plastic/Kevlar/carbon sheets trimmed to meet the target design, and bolt it up. It also functions as a sacrificial part to prevent bumper scraping/paint damage.
If you don't go with the Option #2 wing (which looks like a 993 GT2 wing), you're craaaaaazy! It is definitely not too "racey", it flows PERFECTLY with the Ruf front/rear bumpers you're installing.
I loved the original series for this 911 but this is going to be wild!
It's always weird to me, when people gate keep other people's happiness. When I see someone with a modified car I'm glad to see the owner pursue what he or she wants.
To each his or her own, enjoy your build.
The functional air scoops on the larger wing are pretty sweet. Might be the better option even if it’s not the most aesthetically appealing.
The title was a good troll 😂 but I agree to run the RS trunk! The "track wing" is overpowering the rest of the body
Everytime I watch one of your guys' videos it inspires me go work on my own project car
For the front lip, you should have a custom one made from carbon. I think downforce solutions is really good and custom work and can probably turn it around quickly. All I believe they would need is a quick underbody scan. Otherwise the build is so nice probably my favorite one yet. Maybe even clear lens the tail lights too 😏
Rubber bumper baby bumper! The window tint is fine. I like both wings, but I'm leaning to the more aggressive one slightly more. 💪
I remember watching the amazing work done to this car. Glad ur still able to make content with it.
Just finished rewatching turbocraft series, so this is a seamless transition for me.
I can attest that the heater doesn't work that well :-) I did a road rally in Vermont in November in one of these and it was like someone blowing mildly warm air on you with a straw. Was certainly a fun time though!
probably had a leaky heater box or stuck valve then, heat works great in the ~100ish 911s i’ve had the pleasure of working on/driving in
Engine out service is the perfect time to do a transmission upgrade 😉
So pumped for this. btw - the 'race wing' is a 993 GT2 evo wing. Popular on the modified 911s!
2014? Holy shit... been watching and commenting since the old tiny shared shop you guys had! Cant believe its been that long!
WE MISS KEN! 😆 🤣 i think you guys had around 15-20k subs back then! Love the channel. I will always be here to support you guys! Keep the content coming!
Excited to see the 930 get some more love! Any plans to refresh other parts of the car? I wonder what good modernized tail lights or singer-style interior mods are out there
Also, tinting the windshield with a clear uv blocking film would be helpful to keep more heat as well
Lightweight powerplants are a staple of Porsche. It just so happens that Japan can play yhat game too. This build stays teue to the spirit of Porsche
Subscribed to your channel when the 930 projest originally aired. Warning bushings and suspension work on a 930 is going to try your paitence, especially in the back.
You got me Pete. I was furious for the first 2 and half minutes. Thank God you aren't K-swapping it. 😂
My votes:
- Amber corners if you keep the amber side markers
- First option for the wing if you don’t keep the original, which flows well with the rest of the body. The 993 looking wing seems like it’s too aggressive
- Hooray for fitting a cat!
So glad you’re back working on the 930!
That 3rd wing looks wild, but you might need to run a front splitter to balance it out. And also wider arches/fenders and wider wheels.
Rwb it. 😀
07 cayman 4s is the one to k swap ;] add gt3 wing and Porsche dream is complete
Amber on the front looks good, breaks up the clear and also adds an accent to all the black of the bumper/front fascia!
Screw the purists, Phil at driftworks has set the levels 😂
Home Built By Jeff on TH-cam has done amazing work with his porsches including using an aftermarket AC kit that seemed fairly straight forward, as well as some other cool setups.
Had me going there, PT! I'd respect any choice you make, but im glad youre staying with the original motor. Love these older 911's, and look forward to seeing more!
Go with the large Wang. Also ceramic tint your front windshield.
My God what a machine. That sound is perfect. I like the original bumpers but amber corner markers are 100% cleaner. I think the window tint is a no go.
Absolutely gorgeous, as I will never own a 911, I’m living my best life through people like you👊🏻👊🏻❤ subbed
I like the amber light over the double clear. the big race wing is over the top. having the dual tip exhaust will look mean. i also think the car need bronze wheels, i think it will really pop.
1st option RS 3.8 wing! (blackbird) correct
This is my dream car!! Even though I am a JDM guy, this one is the car that won my heart from when I was a kid.
When you want to widen something that’s curved cutting it in the middle is often a terrible mistake.
Find the flattest straitest part either side of the middle and cut it at a forty five degree angle.
But before you do and cutting take a mould of the area to use as a guide to shape and secure the parts while they set.
3D print brake cooler intake fillers where the more forward turn lights go. Convert the side marker section to turn signals. Less bodywork and more track focused look/function
I prefer the amber lights, no front lip, and RS style trunk/wing setup. No matter what is installed, it will look good! 🤤
Half amber light for sure. Looks OEM in a good kind of way. The all white lights always comes off as very early 2000's tuner to me.
I love this build with the clear lense and the big wing
Honestly I love the flat six but the smart choice would be kswaping it
Phil from driftworks did an electric AC conversion on his 930 recently and it seemed relatively painless. Could be worth looking into.
Ill check it out, thanks. Ive looked a few options and retrofits are insanely expensive and a ton of work to install
@@speedacademy Looked it up and it seems like he used a classicretrofit ac system and it's definitely pricey like you've mentioned. Also looks like it's just a universal kit.
Griffiths ac is the best of the conventional kits. Its not that bad of an install. 2500 usd for the complete kit isnt bad by porsche standard
I love the k series engine, and its versatility as a power unit.. but I’m starting to get a little tired of everything sounding like a straight piped civic.
Glad this isn’t going goon-spec.
The big wing combined with a pop up headlights front end (group 5 racecar style) would look so badass
If you didn't know Pete was a baller, now you do. Happy Father's Day father's!
The bumper supports are specifically pre-deformed so that when you get into an accident they absorb energy in a predictable manner. They've essentially started the crumple so less energy and more specifically a predictable amount of energy is required to continue to crush them. Pre-FEA crumple zone.
That bigger wing is so cool, it will look cool with that front lip and with those bumbers...
My first memory of the 930 was when i was around 7 or 8 years old watching an old Disney movie from the 80s? called 'Condorman'. I don't even really remember the movie except for the villain chase cars which were all black and setup to look like turbo models with whale tails...loved that look ever since.
Excited to see more on this build! Hope to see a full lip kit on the car!
Amber indicators and big wing for me. Tint is nice if you change the wheel colour to break up all the black.
That’s such a clean ass car. I’d run it as is engine wise as well. Do whatever you want with the car. It’s yours. I do love the big wing.
The way some people try to get a birth year Rolex, I'd dream of getting a birth year Turbo and yours is my birth year. So I'm very jealous and have loved watching you work on it throughout the years.
The body style is timeless so elegant and raw
To stop oil leaks not caused by wear try Teflon based power steering stop leak.
The Teflon particles will buildup in the gaps and the additives swell the seals.
Warning the additives swell the seals so only leave it in a hundred miles or a couple of days at most.
Your vids are going to help me fix up my dads 77’ euro spec 911 that I inherited a few years ago… it “runs” and “drives”, but idles pretty rough, burns a lot of oil (haha). I haven’t had any money to put into it, and I’m not a mechanic at all… but lately I’ve been fed up with it just sitting and am starting to do what I can without spending any money…
where ya located
@@jamescannone1425 Minnesota
Stoked tonsee the porsche back!
Amber corners and the 1st wing you test fit for sure!
So the story of this video is... Man cheaps out on fixing oil leak, spends loads on non-essential body modifications instead 😂
You misunderstand - the oil leak is a feature! It tells you there is oil in it!
penny pinching on not installing A/C or buy a model with it, as im getting the vibe that's why he doesn't drive it all that much as it's a summer day 🌞and $$$ black/hot ( leased a dark/black vehicle never again way to hot/i cooked my lunch in it at work and burned-me ect ) car equating to it just sitting in his garage/shop under a car cover, body mods aren't going to change that factor or the leaking oil's not being fixed
comings from a now 60's charger owner 😉 and something iv had to consider ect as well on things like keeping my A/C and makes the wife happy that i looked for 1 with it already
Been looking forward to this one. Tint looks great. Hyped for the wheel choice. Thanks for the awesome video 🤓
I actually thought you were going to do the K swap! Would have loved to see it.
I love the phrases, "K swap everything" and "K swap the world".
Love it. Prefer wing 1.
Glad the K-Swap was a bad joke!
Honestly liked the original wing better than the options, bumpers look great tho. I like the tint too, not a fan of black cars but it's looking good.
Was seconds from turning off when I heard K Swap! Got me!
I live in Florida tint is a must here. I love tinted windows on cars. As to the "wang", go BIG! I love the big wing but the other one does look nice also.
Big wing looks like it can pull in some good cooling
I might be the only one, but I’ll pass on this build. Wake me up when you are back to something JDM.
The big wing with the carbon plane is fire I actually like it lol.
W front bumper i say go with the amber it breaks it up for the lip not sure either do what you like as for the back the RS wing is clean but that BIG BOY RACE wing goes well with the rear of the car i would go with it even if the front is more subtle but thats just my opinion at the end of the day do you DP great video as always i hope you guys are doing well and cant wait for the next video
Badass project... O can't wait to see more
Kswap is the right choice. Cheap, modern, reliable and easy to make power. Sell both front bumpers and get a TBK one!
It's not a piston cup (sic) but a barrel FYI. As a Master Tech. I had to chirp in and inform you of the difference!
Bosuzoku time! Nice work, I love it!
I usualy don’t like big wing, but the race wing realy fit the car!
I love the design of this generation Porsche
Amber's, yellow tint on the lights and go big wing or go home 🙂. I used to have a picture of a 911 turbo (930) and a tvr 420 seac on my bedroom wall when I was a kid. Dream cars ❤
I love the big wing. These car fit so nice with big wings
Amber corner lights and stock wing would be my vote. Beautiful car.
You had us in the first half. I am not going to lie.
Holy shiz first? Also, not gonna lie you had us in the first half
Always park your vintage Porsche with an oil pan underneath it. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just the way it is. Go around a military base, and every HMMVW has its own pan you slide under with it when it’s parked.
Super stoked wish it was gonna be a kswap but that would have been too much for the purist lol
Been waiting for you guys to works on this car. I honestly prefer the stock wing with the ruf bumpers.
Amber Indicators, yes to the Cat, RS wing though the intercooler ducts would be nice, and I like the tint
big honda boy myself so i didnt mind the kswap but so glad you kept it original HAHAHAH amber indicators for me :)
i love that race wing, but i think it needs a sticker on the bacl flat verticle section to break it up.
also run the amber turn signals on the front with the normal park lights.
Just drop in a 1300 cc vw beetle engine and get a few horses to drag it when you want to go racing,btw nice ride and i love it.
I have three words for you PT: Rauh-Welt Begriff. Call Nakai-San and go down the rabbit hole 😂 looking forward to see how this refresh comes up
I almost had a hard attack 😂 when I saw the k series you got me.
Clear and clear with Amber LED bulb. Plaid or Houndstooth seat upgrade. 1st wing option if not keeping whale tail. black on black on black.
That race wing is my favorite 911 wing ever!
