Looks amazing fr. I like the 996 content please keep it in your collection!!!
after 1000 miles bring it back. Well with Tom that will be in10 years
Out of all your cars Tom, your 996 C4S is my favourite. The 996 C4S has a special place in my heart as my mum owned one before she traded up to a 997.2 Carrera Cabriolet. We regretted it ahahaha
Your Mom Rocks!
Lars Westin Ahahah thanks.... now she is wanting a Macan Turbo.... I am doing my best to persuade her to move to a 991 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. It’s going well lol
@@haidersohail1649 I love the new Porsches, but nobody will ever look bad in a 993! (Except me?)
@@larsw4432 Naah the 993 is gorgeous in any model even the standard Carrera
Why did you regret it
Lovely car but those watches are bloody hideous!
Thruth
So true
Couldn’t agree more !!!
Too right mate , vulgar ,ostentatious, they look like they’ve been made out of an old Tupperware sandwich box 😂😂
Carrera 1972 true! He must know this though being a watch geek. Surprised he puts them on the channel and than vincero rubbish.
Thing I love about Tom is he gets excited about his £25k car as much as his Carrera GT. I like humble people. Carry on
whether the 250 swb is a replica or not i'd take it regardless, still looks stunning
Just spent 5k on mine. A few cosmetic bits but new suspension engine mounts and new exhaust back box and a 48k service! Well worth it! Old but gold 😎
My dad had a Seal Grey 996 C2 brand new for 3 years back in 2003. He sadly passed on a couple of weeks ago. Your car reminds me of the fun we had in his. Enjoy it, no better way to spend £25k! An absolute snip. Looking forward to seeing you using it. I think it’s the best car you own 👌👍
They have done a incredible job! The paint and the interior looks immaculate. They have done a brilliant job. Loved this video
Love the Guildford Car Park reference! Must be a local lad! Ha ha 😂 Love the videos!
Bought a 996 C4S last year. 2003 in Atlas Grey from a reputable dealer who has been supportive and helped with the (so far) £14k spent on repairs and maintenance. The obsession with IMS and bore scoring on these cars is great ... because it has kept purchase prices low. I have a feeling the word is getting out!
I had an early (first week of ownership) issue - defective manifold and exhaust hanger work carried out by a previous owner, but covered by warranty - requiring the engine and gearbox (Tip) out, so followed the herd and changed the IMS (and RMS). Have the original bearing on my desk ... in ‘as new’ condition!
Then developed a misfire at low revs. Bore scoring cried the masses. It’s ticking and slapping said the M96 haters. Scoped and no bore scoring. Differential diagnosis pointed to a hydraulic inlet cam follower stuck in high lift - which it was. Engine out for a second time, bank 2 followers replaced and ... perfect. They pretty much all tick when cold. Most cars sound different at start up. So important to let these M96 engines warm up before injecting ... enthusiasm.
The obsession with IMS and bore scoring keeps people away from these cars. Almost all are fine and unaffected. Try to find one with a blown engine! I wanted to with a plan to replace it with a Hartech over bore. Easier to find Lord Lucan.
The real cost is everything else. If it’s not been done, the suspension will need work. Replace everything that you can afford to swap. I did. Drives like new. No rattles and very precise. Brake pipes, steering pipes, transmission cooling pipes are all out of sight and corrode heavily over time. If you’ve got to drop the engine, transmission or front subframe, replace everything that needs doing then - transverse brake pipes, air oil separator, starter motor, alternator, water pump, thermostats, coolant header tank, hoses - it’ll give you peace of mind, a cheaper bill (in the end) and a reliable car.
The problems I experienced were largely down to buying a car that hadn’t been driven for 4 years (a few hundred miles in that time). Net of the dealer repair contribution, I now have an expensive £28k, 90,000 mile car, but it is mechanically near perfect. The mileage ... sure, I’d prefer it to be lower and it will limit resale value, but I always intended to keep the car and, eventually, will give it to one of my sons. And if the worst should happen, I’ll get my Hartech 3.9!
Money well spent here. Yours looks fantastic. My bet is that it drives even better. The 996 C4S, whether it follows earlier 911 values or not, is a classic. Great analogue car. Not hugely quick by modern standards - I have a daily 2019 Touareg that is pretty close to the same performance - but it is more than quick enough, beautiful to look at (the Porsche, not the VW!), changes direction like not much else and is unique even among 911s. And you can drive it anywhere and, mostly, people smile when they look at it ... rather than have some irrational envy reaction because it’s red or orange and Italian!
That exhaust note is great, by the way. Mine has some aftermarket, once switchable but prior to me fixed open, Top Gear (?) boxes. Raspy at low revs. Drove it through the Hindhead Tunnel with windows down. Embarrassingly hooligan loud when the high lift kicks in. They probably need to go ... maybe.
Found your first C4S video not long after buying mine and am following this and (most) of the other channel content with interest. Thanks!
Read all that with interest. Couldn’t be more right. If you’ve seen some of the comments here people have been screaming bore scoring at me willy nilly 😂 Drive safe & maybe see you at the next meet
Ha ... if only I could spell site ... corrected to sight!
I’ll look forward to that. I’ll be easy enough to spot. Short, fat old bloke with a wife called Jo - plate is UP53TJO
One of your more beautiful cars!
My Dad had one when I was younger. Lot's of great memories. Enjoy it mate!
As with the 912, some very sympathetic changes keeping another classic on the road.
I absolutely adore this car Tom, regardless of whether some think it's 'boring'! As a retro-classic owner myself (albeit a 1989 VW Golf Clipper) I have a love for these sorts of usable classics - I hope you keep it for years to come
You'll be perfectly fine being self-employed TGE TV and thank you for the pleasant walk around!
Loving the content and delivery on this channel in the last 4 months or so. Keep it up mate
Thank you!!
Oh come on Tom. I would love to see you do a POV drive in the 996 or a trip. Not just video of repairs and how much repairs cost you.
I will mate jesus
@@TGE Sorry mate, for a second there, forgot we're in a pandemic.
Suspension upgrades are hugely underestimsted. They can make a 10 year old feel as good as a new car to drive or fine tune a car for rough British B-Roads.
Great video Tom. I now have an itch for a 996. The single din in a big bonus over the 997 as there is huge availability of carplay/android auto units.
Bloody stunning mate!
Love your AMG GT too, it looks the business!
Go well man, your content has been very enjoyable in these fraught times!
Aventi are given the blue watch away on the ProducerMichael channel, they did an interview with him last week, top set of gents!
DVLA says that car is a 1965 Ferrari so I guess that’s genuine 🙂
Fully inspirational watching any of Toms videos. Everything featured is complete cash! Very encouraging and inspiring!
Loved the couple of unedited bits at the end 😂
Beautiful- what a great job esp on the paint. Look forward to the console upgrade.
Wow Tom! The paintwork looks mega lad. As I've said before, it's a classy colour with a beautiful light interior colour which is great to see, instead of the norm of boring black leather. Also the silver wheels are a cool contrast against the paint colour. Velly tasteful mods which have enhanced the Porker 👍
Got a good relationship with RPM - Great place to take your Porsche, great bunch of people that really know what they're doing!
This thing is starting to grow on me, starting to appreciate the 996 when I see one. Yours looks to good man, very cleann.
Yes Tom! Beautiful upgrades, can't wait to see what you do with the interior!!!
That's lovely - once you have done the IMS, its a great analogue daily you can rag without taking stupid risks! Enjoy. Look forward to some feedback on those new components.
Yep, Porsche looking quality - congrats on that Tom. Oh, and thanks for the bonus watch/crisps footage at the end 😁
That lapis blue is looking insane! The depth of that colour is superb, cant see any swirls either it's like a lovely expensive blue mirror 😍
That's what happens when you forget to cut out the B Roll :') I love this guy!
I’ve gone Ohlins R&T on mine, along with an entire rear arm replacement (the front was done last year), and the PCCM Plus. All sitting in my garage waiting for a build slot. Contemplating Kline vs Cargraphic... and GT2 seats?
It's a beauty mate, nice vid and nice tour of the car park as well.
Look at it sat there - looks great. They've done a fantastic job with the leather - looks like new
Love that blue, looks like new! Do u get pulled much by police for the ‘chavy’ plates?
I replaced the exact same centre vent surround Panel in graphite grey as yours on my C4S , I bought direct from a Porsche main dealer ...£50 inc . Not worth having it dressed up or pained Tom 👍
What tyres are you running? I am about to replace all 4 on my 2003 C4S. I am 90% decided on PS2 N3. Annoyingly you can get the rear 295s in N4 but not the 225 fronts!
Absolutely gorgeous car and you are a massive inspiration. Respect brother.
KW V3 is awesome. Have them on my 09 Z4 35i. Took time to find my settings.... First i went stiffer. Then i started to soften it bit by bit. Now i have it 2 klicks softer from KW recommended settings both on rebound and compression and i love it. For track i would turn them up but for street and country roads these settings just work.
last video you mentioned selling the Aston, any chance of replacing it with a 991.2 GT3 RS?!
Looks great my car got the new PCCM Plus for 2 weeks ago its great, make sure they put the cables in glovebox looks better.
996 C4S IS the best looking 996.
You've done a top job!!!! Love the subtle look, original wheels, interior etc..
Paint is to die for!
I'd have it! Aaaaaalll day long 😊
The car looks pretty good. Paint protection?
Lovely job Tom, the car is now looking great. How much was the exhaust upgrade and did your insurance company bulk at any of the modifications?
Looks amazing, great job!
Stunning, absolutely gorgeous paint
Absolutely beautiful car! Finish the interior bits. That's all it needs to look like new.
All I could hear was the engine ticking
Wayne Coombes fingers crossed its a sticky lifter, they do it sometimes when cold. You’d like to think the shop would have told him if it was something more sinister lol
To all the „Experts“ it‘s totaly normal when the engine is cold
@@michaelbender1226 Lol keep telling yourself that
Mine does that if I don't "drive" the car and then just leave it in my garage for 2+ weeks. Got to take it out more often and stomp on that gas pedal
.
Your 996 C4 S looks really smart look forward to seeing the up and coming content
Yessss laddylad she looks like a fresh baby again!
It looks incredible I want a porsche so much
993 turbo looks great...tempting!
Best car you own. I grew up around 996's and love them so much! Enjoy the car!
Looking sweet 👍👍👍👍👍I had my 997 centre console redone as the rubber paint had gone soft and was all marked also did the surrounds of the air con and radio painted taken years off the car
Lapis Blue is just gorgeous, and RPM have done some great work on this, nice
you have some lovely cars @tge tv but for a few reasons this one really does it for me. Your best car if i do say so Tom. Resto job is immaculate.
Hi buddy!!
That is a2002... paint correction polish the lot on exterior I’ve seen..
Amazing!!
And it’s sounds just right even on idle..
Good for you!!!
Nice toy!!
👍💪😎
Noice. Great job inside and out. That's definitely the colour for the 911 turbo ;)
Paint work is looking immaculate
Love the 996 C4S, much more than the 996 Turbo.
Great job and great content with both the C4S and the 912.
( Could almost hear the watches hitting the bottom of the trash bin. 😂 )
Tom what you think of the new Breitling superocean 57 ltd edition 2 ? Thinking of getting 1 when they become available..
Love the asmr at the end👏🏾👏🏾
Looks phenomenal, Tom! Good work. ✅
It deserves every penny. Nicely done!
Love the CSR, gen2 as well great thing to live with for many years hope he gets it and you make a video with it 👍🏻
Looks factory fresh. What is the ticking noise from the engine? Did RPM comment on it?
Sticky tappet. Been sat 4-6 weeks
The colour certainly pops in the sunlight, fabulous Porsche, ca$h.👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Wow… They’ve done a really nice job on that. And the whole package including the purchase of the car so far is quite reasonable. Nice daily driver.😉
Great looking car, love the things you’ve done to it. I’m looking to buy and waiting for something like this to come along, but it’s just bog standard dentists cars with slacky suspensions and auto boxes coming in..
Really nice car that!!! Be good to see some bikes on the channel. Get to fort William for some DH action! Great driving roads up there then a mint DH track once there 🤘🏼🤘🏼
In my opinion the nicest in your growing porsche collection lad 😎
Looks mint, wud u get money back if u sold it tho?
Looks beautiful well tidy mate
Love these, great value for the money and a turbo cabriolet for about £35k loaded toys, over 400hp, that’s a cheap car to buy own and keep
When you say lapiz blue is that same blue as on golf r? Great video as always.
Roof rack with bikes is HELL! All for that. 👏🏻
Well done ! Sounds great.
Proppaaa ! Beautiful machine that is, Tom.
Yep. Chaos. Love it. You know your cars and how to love them. Ok Tom.
It looks sooo good. I love Lapis Blue. I would’ve taken that color if I could’ve found one in good shape. The exhaust sounds great. Pretty cool how Porsche brought out the modern PCM for these cars. Awesome💪🏽
I might have a Lapis Blue on Black C2 77k miles available soon if you’ve got £19k to offer
Looks very smart - I owned a 964 turbo back in the day...965 model designate.... I always liked the 2nd gen 996 with modded haeadlights the first gen were horrid.
will not stop until I own a 996 in a similar specification.........has to be the best from the collection in my eyes. OEM+ for the win.
You spent 10K on some awesome mods, my dad spent 10K on his 996 engine rebuild after it blew up 😁
TG was that a Patek Philippe time peace attached to your wrist?
Have you looked into SeaSucker bike racks? Instead of bolting one of they use rubber suckers to stick the bike on. They work really well surprisingly.
Car is looking beautiful! 🔥💯
The only car I can relate to... I have a gen1 996 Carrera 2 ocean blue with extended savannah leather and look forward to the new stereo and how to guide as I would love to upgrade mine to the new Car play system
Mine is currently completely stock 😎
That looks stunning has a really good stance to it cheers steve 👍😀
I love your 996 so so much. Just want to buy one myself!
Do you get to keep the Aventi watches like producer Michael & Adam swords? Great Porsche content as always Tom 😀
Rear wiper delete?
Mate love wot you done to the c4s got one myself for 9years more Content on this please
@TGETV why you always have watch on right wrist? 🤔
What’s the ticking sound? 💣 ?
It looks brand new love that colour !
Hi Tom
What a great job the lads have done it looks amazing mate
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does the Porsche have PPF...?
11:40. That's quite a bad tick from the engine!! Have you taken care of the IMS bearing?
Been sat for 3-4 weeks. Maybe longer. Sticky tappet. It’s fine.
Top job on the 996! 😎👍
Looks great Tom. Like it 👌
