These videos cannot stop. From your photo episodes, to the Volvo builds and now Porsche. I'm hooked.
Thank you
Fr.
Indeed
Love your content brother
hey bro, fantastic video. Would you want to sell the fabricated pipes to make this exhaust? I’ll buy a set right now from you. I have been looking into doing this exhaust for weeks now and there’s no exhaust shop near me that can do this. I have a ‘99 996 with Fabspeed headers that fit like OEM.
I’ll buy some pipes to connect the GT3 muffler from you.
There's many automotive channels on YT now..but there are a few that stand out and this is one of them...the content is just clean...don't change what you are doing
As the local Saab guy in LA ( I don't live too far from your neighborhood) I must say, this is the content I look for in automotive channels. I used to follow your photography as it was a hobby of mine. I am really into the no nonsense, realistic approach to wrenching on cars. No crazy tropical house and wild sponsorships with completely unattainable cars. I love the direction this channel is going and it really inspires me to keep up the jobs on my own cars. Keep it up!
I really enjoy the chill nature of the videos and how much you go through the work. Makes it feel a bit like one is there in the garage with you.
You make all of this look so easy! Really enjoy your build and diy attitude!
Nice videos dude. I have a 2002 C2 that I've done TONS of work on, lmk if you have any questions about niche 996 info bc I've spent hours on the forums/fiddling on these cars. Glad to see others enjoying these cars as much as I do!
20:57 when you were saying that the engine sounded like two i3 engines together I didn't know how that sounded raw. but with the demonstration, your explanation makes perfect sense.
The blue brake fluid was Super Blue High Temp Brake Fluid. It was outlawed several years ago in the USA because of the unique color. Standard color for the fluid per the US regulations is gold. But the same good stuff can be had in the approved color. Nice updates!
Take inspiration from the 996 GT3 cup cars. They also modified the original side exit bumpers to be center exit. Look at how they cut the bumper to look nicer. You can cut off the metal protrusions for the black plastic bumperettes and fill in the holes to make it euro style like the cup cars. Or source a euro bumper so you don't need to repaint it
I put this same oem titanium muffler mated to my fabspeed headers on my '91 964 RWB and damn what a symphony it produces! Nice work! Just discovered your channel today. I've been watching all your 996 content.
it so peaceful watching these videos. need more of these.
10:25 the old shocks don’t look bad at all, just a little dirty. You could probably resell them.
exactly it ran for around 20 years and still looks good. maybe he said that because it was a promotion.
Dude, I don’t comment often on your videos, but every once in a while I just have to. Love the way the 996 is turning out so far, this car is up there on my dream list and it’s awesome seeing your vision coming to life. Really inspiring me to work harder towards getting one for myself! Keep it up man you’re doing great
Have to say, I love your videos Willem. from the montages, the comprehensive tips you lead us through step by step. I’m hoping one day in a future video you would consider walking us through your shop space and different organizational techniques you have for some of us just starting out to look at as a sort of scaffold for our own personal work spaces. Cheers
I absolutely love your videos and your editing style !
You're chill, have a good personality and you actually show what you're doing in detail
I've never been a fan of the 996 but you're making me like it more with how cool it seems to mod it
This GT3 muffler is absolutely fantastic and the 911 now sounds like a proper flat six
Beautiful build so far! The 996.1 is my attainable dream car, and it was awesome seeing your plans for this one
My favourite automotive channel at the moment. Always look forward to your video's. Keep doing what you're doing!
God, this sound of new muffler is the best... Thank you for nice videos
bro came back 10x harder 😭
pause
@@baps6516 it’s better hard.
Congrats! That's a very nice channel! For your Porche, I recommend a complete detail under and in the ridden parts!
Awesome stuff. Love the mods. That exhaust upgrade was worth every pretty penny you spent. Sounds so good.
This is awesome! I had a s60r which your channel brought back memories of that car. Now I have a ruf rturbo and I have a titanium gt3rs center muffler on my car. So glad more people are doing this mod! Keep up the great work brother
Hold up we can’t just ignore that S2000 😳
what S2000
S2000 lol

Great films and an awesome showcase of the work during the renovation-thank you for such content! Thanks to it, I’m starting to believe I can try tinkering with this car myself. A question from an amateur: could you add in the comments under the video where you bought the parts? And maybe sometimes include info about the tools you used? That would be super helpful! Take care-I’ll keep following your channel.
Check the transmission fill procedure, on the automatic transmission you should fill up until fluid flows from the fill plug, then close the fill plug and start the engine, then let the fluid go trough the whole transmission, once you’re at around 30 Celsius with the engine still working you open the fill plug again and fill until it spills again.
Maybe this procedure applies to the manuals too and explains why there was that extra fluid.
Excellent video and love the music too! Great quality
More 996 content please! 🔥
Random Porsche community thing I learned on my 944's wheels, face the tip of the Porsche crest towards the valve stem. It's the Porsche way! haha. 996 looks & sounds great!
Looking good! Consider getting the gear box warm with a drive and then pulling your fill plug. If you get some fluid out, that would mean you over serviced it as well. I recently went through the same thing with my 991. Great channel. Keep it up.
Exhaust looks a bit weird because the bumper was designed for the original exhaust.
still figuring it out! will get it looking better with some shorter different tips
Can look into getting a 996 cup rear bumper
Replicas are pretty cheap
@@wheelemverb I second the 996 Cup bumper! It would complete the car's look with the exhaust and all!
Giving us what we want, instant results. Gold!
Another banger! That muffler replacement makes the car sound much better. That GT3 exhaust is worth every dollar! Looking forward to the next episode. Let's GO!
Also those rotors are FINE. They get much thinner than that in actual use, but yeah when you make a switch to ceramics you won't be mismatching rotors/pad wear. The pads outlast the rotors in some use cases, and I've tried Zimmerman/Sebro/ATE/Pagid and they're all interchangeable.
I'm glad your coolant hoses look alright, it's a nightmare to replace every one of them because of all the clamps and small hose sections that connect to hard lines.
I agree with everyone else, these are so good. I own a couple Volvos and a 65 Corvair Corsa convertible. So I'm obviously a Porsche fan too. Still looking for the right 911. Keep these coming!
Great stuff! Keen to see it with wheel spacers and a new gear ⚙️ shift bushing.
It looks like you have the aero front bumper and side skirts but a standard rear bumper. If you found an aero rear bumper the exhaust tips wouldn’t look like they are sticking out too far.
return of the king
One of my favorite channels. Always look forward to your videos. Keep it up!!
You have great mechanic skills for such a young guy. Well done dude!
That sounds so much better! Nice work
The final sound is insane !
Best car channel rn. Loving the Porsche content.
Im surprised how good the exhaust sounds...wasnt expecting that
Im a 986 owner and i love watching 996/986 content and you just got my sub because i also have been considering a volvo and when i looked at your other videos on it... Well done! Im here to say now!
Awesome video man ! I'm so glad you're enjoying your cars !
Me encanta. Lo único malo es que vas a conseguir que suban los precios de los 996 de segunda mano! Congratulations, great great work! She only needs a detail.
The exhaust sounds dope, looks are not really up my alley.
I agree the tips need work and I think im going to build a V2 of this.
@@wheelemverb Cant wait man, your videography is also spot on. Much enjoyment to be had.
@@wheelemverb Did you use a stainless steel GT3 muffler or is that titanium? For $1k I assume stainless.
This 996 sounds insane! love the build, hope to see more things done on it!
It's gonna be even more perfect with spacers as you said, this 996 looks amazing congrats man!
I’m hooked! Looking forward to more vids on your 996🔥🔥🔥
Just wanted to say you're a huge inspiration man, keep up the amazing work! Cheers from Tucson, AZ
when bleedimg brake you'll want the bottle to be higher than the bleed nipple, so that air bubbles don't get trapped in the line and actually move into the bottle. great video non the less
All you are missing is GT3 style Arms + alignment for increased camber & good tires 👍
That muffler's low tones are amazing
tbh, i like the before exhaust sound. personal preference, but it's got that metallic rumble sound that the new exhaust just smoothens out.
I dunno why but the maintenance parts of this (and the Volvo saga) were very satisfying to watch.
I want to thank you for the awesome content! I love your car videos as well as your film ones. But man... your car vlogs are spectacular! I love it!
Sick Video bro! Thanks!
Yoo sick video man. Maybe some wheelspacers would fit it quite well too
Heyyyy, I called it! I think you probably already know about this too, but GT3 front lower control arms help with the understeery nature of the rear engine. Excited to see what you do with the car in the future!
Now it’s sound like an aircooled flat 6 and I love it! But I think you should make it look a little bit more stock somehow
Let’s go I was waiting for some 996 content!!
I was watching you doing the job on your car, I wish I were 30 years younger than I am now. When I was teenager, no internet to look up, no Ytube and no such a good clip like this. Enjoy your ride, young man, time is fast. Once you know, it has already gone.
Keep them videos coming!! Great as always! Greetings from Greece
Now I just need more of those Porsche Film Photos and resist the urge to buy a project car. Great Video!
Hey, if you wanna improve the shifting feel, no point in getting a new bushing but instead I'd recommend you look into Numeric racing shifter. It will make the shifter feel rock solid compared to the factory one.
This video is absolute class dude instant sub! Please keep doing this beautiful car justice like this:)
Really like the car, nice upgrades. I could be wrong, but having used DOT 5 synthetic racing brake fluids before, they were always blue, and do not absorb moisture like normal DOT 4.
Not saying they all are blue, just the brands brought to me to put in customer cars. I've been using the Mercedes OE fluid lately. Expensive, but a really nice feel.
Love the shirt design, will be picking up some, thanks.
Nice Video but you should also change the break fluid which goes to your gearbox when you change your brake fluid. Makes a huge difference
Can you take some more pics or vids of how the GT3 center exit was adapted to M96 headers ? I had no thought of this but that sound !
you cracked the code of mufflers for less than a mamiya! sounds so good
I found your channel a few weeks ago and now I’m hooked. This motivates me to one day have a 911 of my own! I might even sell my e36 M3 to fund it haha
Willem, Blij van je TH-cam kanaal te vinden, door zelf veel op te zoeken over de 996. Ik ben zelf van plan mij eindelijk een 996 te kopen in België. Maar ik wacht nog even af tot hij 30 jaar oud is. Onze wegentaks hier is onbetaalbaar geworden voor de 3.4 en 3.6 motoren... Tof om te zien dat hij wel makkelijk is om aan te sleutelen. Wat ik zelf ook al jaren doe met mijn andere "projecten" in het verleden.. Veel plezier met je 996!
I found your channel back in spring, while I was searching to see how amazing Volvos are, and boy did I enjoy watching you fix your cheap V70R, and now this Porsche. Where's the Miata though ?
A company based in the US called function first does a kit to replace the shifter bushing with a metal one, no play and feels significantly better
I can't be the only one that thinks the original exhaust sounds way better?
Please please please keep going with these 🤘🏼😮💨
Nice job. Looks like a fun project. You must have paid a mint for the GT3 exhaust. Interesting the original exhaust sounds better (growl) at low revs and the new one at high revs.
I noticed when you bleed your brakes you only bleed the upper caliper screws. Those calipers also have a lower bleeder screw. If you don’t hit those too you will still have old fluid left behind.
Amazing Willem. How did you learn to do this? I never thought I’d watch content like this but I loved watching my late brother do this stuff and this was bringing back all the feels for me. Great job
Enjoy the car channel W. The camera stuff is nice but this is real good
The extra liquid in the transmission might have been a result of the flood, meaning that some water might have gotten mixed up with your trans fluid
Oil and water mixed would look like a milkshake and honestly I dont see any other signs of flooding underneath.
Very good job. Sound beautiful🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love the new muffler setup
Been loving your content! Also: you were right to change your bake fluid, that old blue brake fluid should be ATE Superblue which has been discontinued for over a decade!
I have BCs on my S2000, and they feel so much like stock when the dampening is lowered all the way. Safe to say, when I eventually get a 997, I'll probably be getting BCs for that too.
Keep up the good work. Loved this video
I think it sounded better with the oem exhaust. More throaty. Plus it looks a bit odd now with the cut bumper. But as long as you love it…good vibes in the video 👌🏼
You. Are. KILLING IT!
please do a video with a serious deep clean and detail and dry ice to the car...so much dust and dirt, that would be so satisfying to watch
Yo man I am new to this channel. This 996 made me come here. You doing real good work. SUBSCRIBED ❤🎉
OATMEAL BOI GOT US EATING GOOD
i absolutely love your videos man, for such a small channel the videos are so perfectly crafted. great work per usual, one question is what do you use to film these?
This Porsche is known to be the least loved especially for its front lights but this model with this color and your great work on it makes me change my mind.😊😊😊
great vids, keep it up, love to look at this porsche series
great as always
Can’t wait to see this thing at gvbc!!!
Awesome video! Would love to see a factory taco wing on that car!
suspension always a nice thing but a new sway bar maybe from eibach will work wonder cause got less tourque than old one and a new gummis nice work and maybe new air filter from k&n its more classic and i hope the 996 got his prime time
OMG you had ate SUPER BLUE IN YOUR SYSTEM.... I miss that fluid so much!
