- The first video in our series covering the restoration / overhaul of a genuine Porsche 911 964 RS from 1992. We will be tackling the bodywork, the engine, gearbox, suspension, wheels and interior trim visiting some of the UK's leading specialists along the way. 911virgin are one of the UK's leading independent Porsche specialists who buy and sell Porsches from the mid 1970s through to the current day.
A great video, thank you for acknowledging the English way to pronounce ‘Porsche’.
I’m looking forward to this series.
If I had a tenner for every time someone mentioned the pronunciation of Porsche I'd be able to afford a decent haircut :-) Should be a really interesting journey
Very excited to see this series of videos
Thanks :-)
Really looking forward to this in 2021 Henry! Merry Christmas 🎄.
I'm looking forward to making it. Some great specialists lined up....
Really looking forward to this build
Thanks :-)
Great video, I do like the Griffith 500 in the background, I had one for 14 years and it worked, most of the time!
It's a surprisingly decent car. surprised me when it came in and all the parts are off the shelf & affordable.
Looking forward to the series 👍
Hopefully we don't disappoint
Looking forward to seeing work being done.👍
Got plenty planned :-)
I look forward to watching these videos, especially the body work as I have a few rust patches appearing on my 964 which will need attention soon plus a load of oil leaks although every garage I go to wants to rebuild the engine. It runs great just needs leaks fixed !
Bodywork always grows when you start sorting it out so be prepared....
As for the engine I'm going to side with the people you've spoken to I'm afraid. Just because an engine is running doesn't mean a rebuild isn't due. In fact if you wait until it goes bang the it probably isn't worth rebuilding at all. The oil leaks will be coming from barrel base gaskets and crankcase through bolt seals predominantly. Once you've stripped the engine to do these you're going to do piston rings, valve guides, timing chains / tensioners and so on possibly a bit more.
In some ways 964 / 993 oil leaks preserve the engines because it is a sign to non mechanically clued up people that work is required. Often a 3.2 Carrera engine is in the near room to death but people don't realise because it isn't spilling oil.
We will be doing a couple of episodes covering the engine and gearbox so lots of opportunity to learn about what the problems are and how the engine is put together.
@@911virgin8 thanks for your reply, I will one day get the body work done and the engine out as I would love the car to be sorted. As always its having the budget to do it. I will prioritise the body work as there is some surface bubbling around the front wing where it meets the bumper and a crack on the spoiler. Also the drivers door has over opened as some point causing the door to be slightly bent outwards.
I will watch the RS series of videos with interest in the hope mine will be sorted out in due course. Cheers Henry.
Nice to see you’ve kept my Griffith in the corner there Henry 😄
It'll be out in the summer !!
Years ago, I was taken around Goodwood in one of these ( white w/ reg; F1OWS If it's still around). Racing an M3 E30 on slicks. Absolutely awesome and probably the fastest I've ever been around the track. The M3 came back and after about a minute the brakes were properly smoking, which drew a crowd.
The great thing about Porsche is they are a track derived car for the road meaning the engineers know every detail that needs attention. Something like the BMW always used to destroy their rear diff when driven in anger on track. Even the brakes, the rear brakes on a Porsche would be on a par with the front brakes of most other "equal" cars.
@@911virgin8 I totally agree, as a package I don't think Porsche can be beaten and that's why we drive them. I own a 92 968 and I love it, capable in many ways.
Great video, informative and interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the series. When you get to the end of the series can you take us through the cost of the restoration? Keep up the good work
It depends on how brave I am !!
Hi great video looking forward to rest of the series. On windscreen washer bottle the normal 964 has one of those in the front as intensive washer system and an additional larger washer tank in wheel arch so i dont think that front bottle is anything specific to rs. It just has the larger reservoir deleted in rs and keeps intensive washer bottle.
Porsche tend to raid the parts bin when they can and it's appropriate rather than wasting money on a specific part.
A late Christmas present! Can’t wait for the follow on videos but please, please put them Mags back to full silver👊🏻
As mentioned earlier in the comments they will be silver.
@@911virgin8 I get annoyed when people comment without listening and now I’m guilty of it! I had had whiskey mind😁
@@911virgin8 love them in body colour - what colour is the car btw ?
@@guysubmarinerguy9387 Hey - I've seen far worse, to be fair once there are a few comments stuff gets buried. :-)
@@richardpapp3983 Amazon Green metallic I think.
Great video Henry,I can remember seeing your RS years ago and asked at the time if it was for sale and you said it was a Keeper!! Brought a 964 C2 in white with unrated RUF anti roll bars from you.
Just wondered if you’re going to put on RS rear bumper with overrides? rather than the cup ones?
I wasn't lying !!
Yes, it will have the RS center section on the rear PU once we have completed the bodywork.
Amazing can't wait to see the series on your RS ...did a full resto on my 964 C2 and really interesting to see all the differences on your very special car. Ps please remove the stickers and put the wheels back to original! 😃
I'm sure there will be some similarities. See the approach we take, you may agree or disagree?
Wheels and stickers dealt with further down the page :-)
Smashing, off the blocks you specify a road car, compliance and control requirements will guide the chassis and suspension restoration, not track. What are your thoughts, factory fresh, concourse, or patina and function for the restore? Bushings, some may be very hard now, OEM or aftermarket? Road comfort and all year tyres, 17” Michelin Pilot Sport 2 or the new kid Pilot Sport 4. Exciting! This series will be a universal 964rs go to for an everyday useable car. Subscribed.
I don't know the answers because we haven't discussed it yet :-)
We will chat in due course and get down the gym now, they say the camera adds a couple of pounds.....
@@911virgin8 stop eating.
@@centergravitychassistuning already well into Rapha's Festive 500. 500km between Christmas and the new year....
@@911virgin8 leave it to Chris - chassis genius - he did mine :)
Henry, looking forward to this a lot. Will be interested to see what you do with the suspension, especially if you get the dampers refurbed, bushes replaced etc. I imagine these components are past their prime. I have a 993 RS and am wondering if I should get my suspension looked at as it will only be a few years younger at 25 years old.
There will be a video dedicated to this specific topic as it's something lots of people ponder and often get wrong. I have someone lined up who knows their onions to cover.
@@911virgin8 Thanks Henry. I await all episodes with interest, but that one more than average.
@@nigelprice7953 Make sure you have subscribed to the channel.
Wow...u didnt get alot with the RS! Still love my 964turbo...cant believe there is one on autotrader UK for 1.3mill..even though you can still get great examples for 250k....your brake discs do look like she's been sitting for awhile cant wait to see the restoration good luck!
One of those cars when just enough is spot on. It has been off the road for a while waiting for this video channel !
Really looking forward to the series. Is it true that the chassis was seam welded on these cars?
I believe there was additional seam welding on the 964 RS compared to a standard car.
Love the car, but are you keeping the stickers?
No, they were a product of an ere in 911virgin's journey from 20 odd years ago.
11:30 that’s why you haven’t driven it in 14 years 😄
Henry did Porsche make these in RHDs? Also were they a good seller when they first came out? Were they bought by speculators like today’s new GT2/3/4, or were they bought by enthusiasts?
Great channel keep them coming. 👍👏
Yes, they did make a handful of RHD cars. No, they weren't really bought by speculators and weren't actually that popular at the time, only recognised by a chosen few. This is born out by how much I paid for it 20 odd years ago.... A genuine enthusiast's car.
Will engine be kept in stock spec, or would you take this opportunity to modify it?
At this stage the intention is to maintain factory spec. It will be stripped, measured and rebuilt as required. We will use it as an opportunity to chat 911 engines in general over a couple of videos.
Fantastic videos ! I have the same RS steering wheel as yours if your interested . Melb Australia
It's quite a long way to pop in for a coffee and collect !!
You're...

How does it feel driving a LHD 911 in a RHD world? Would you consider it something worth dealing with if a LHD 911 pops up at a good price?
LHD has a less offset driving position which is more comfortable at least for me in a 993 which I assume would be similar for 964
It's down to the individual. Some prefer it. In this case the nature of the beast means you're almost certainly going to end up with a left hand drive car
As others have said - 964 pedal offset much better in LHD - also LHD adds to the special nature of the car - I was worried when I bought mine , but i now love the fact it’s LHD
Is this car midnight blue ?
Amazon green metallic
Love the car, I can’t wait for this series. Lose the stickers though please!! And also silver wheels would be great, the color matched wheels just don’t do it for me
As already mentioned the stickers were the product of a bygone era and won't be replaced. I've never liked the wheels either so they are going silver.
@@911virgin8 can’t wait!
I bought a 993 C4 from you in about Jan 2004. Cost me £30k. I’m pretty sure you had a couple of 964 RS’s for sale then for the same money. Please tell me that can’t have been true and then I only have to regret trading in my 993 for £20k and not missing out on nagging a fortune with an RS! 😆
That‘s a loss-loss situation.
Looking backwards only means you're going to bump into something. You will have bought stuff like your house in the meantime that has gone up in value. I think you have to buy what you enjoy car wise and it will do what it does financially. I've never bought personal cars with the intention of making money.
Haha too right Sir👍🏻 The 964RS is absolutely awesome! When it's prices were around £30k used I was really considering selling my 84 for one, then at the blink of an eye the prices on these RSs rocketed, but then so did my car, which I've now kept for life, a 3.2 Carrera, brought to near Clubsport spec level but backdated to mid 70s, previously owned by Nick Faure's brother. And I'm sure you would know who Nick Faure is! instagram.com/p/CG9JGPpLhwp/ Well, they do say 'less is more' (more in the wallet)
A lovely looking car and yes, very familiar with Nick. When I was starting out in Porsches he was one of the "names". A very useful driver as well....
I just jumped on the bike to do another 30k then this pops up, I will be asleep within 10 mins.
I think it's great that someone in your condition is at least trying to get in shape.
@@911virgin8 The crane operator said that if I lose another 30kg they will be able to get me out of bed!
@@IanPayne they told me the same a couple of years ago !!
Henry, is this the factory color? If so what is the name /color code? Were the wheels painted at the factory? The paint looks very good on the video, why re-paint? and most importantly - here is some help for you on PORSCHE pronunciation in English - th-cam.com/video/QntK93Spgz8/w-d-xo.html please practice and correct ASAP! Love the content Henry, thanks very much!! Always look forward to new videos.
Yes, factory colour, Amazon Green metallic from memory. Don't know if the wheels were factory colour coded but they're going all silver. There are quite a few defects on the pain and I'm going to go right through the car regardless. I'll get my elocution teacher to work on it with me.
