My DREAM Porsche 911 Turbo Build is DONE! Sort Of...
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
14 months after buying a horrific example of a Manual 997 Porsche 911 Turbo, it's FINALLY 'finished'! Of course, not without another round of misfortune...
Issues are nothing new with this Porsche so as has been the case for over a year, we push through and take the 911 turbo for it's first pulls on the street!

damn bro u dont even fit in ur profile pic
Y’all are true inspiration. Not only your vehicles, but the grind to make these videos. I am a HS Adobe Premiere video editor teacher and I certify students. I know how much it takes to film and edit. Keep it up!!!!
Congrats man, and props to Fernando for being the rock solid friend too 💪🏼
Trust me take out that solid trans mount. Won’t make a massive difference in the turns compared to the insane amount of NVH you will remove from the cabin. Looks great man.
IMO the factory body color vents look much better than the carbon ones, I like the extra middle piece in it, looks much better. The carbon ones are too boy racer for this car. I would also change the trans mount if you're keeping this car long term and will drive it on the road alot, the noice will grate on you over time.
Nothing like a Porsche! Congrats, turned out beautiful. 🎉 First upgrade is to swap out that steering wheel for a more modern 911 factory wheel. That will instantly update your entire interior. Inexpensive and easy to do with a non-multi function wheel and manual steering like you have.
I just think this is a testament to how well these cars are built and tuned from the factory. I have a 997.1 turbo tip that still to this day scares me on cold nights with hard accelerations in 2nd gear. I think once you go down the rabbit hole of tuning you run into all sorts of issues. Stock, these cars are amazing. I never tuned mine and the only mod I did was exhaust and 5mm wheel spacers because I didn't want to go down the path of failing parts. To each their own but obviously when you have your own garage and seemingly endless funds I suppose you can do anything to them.
I like the color matched vent better, but 2500 is a big hit lol.... I think the hood would look better the same color too.
Great series, watched them all. And the factory air ducts look better then the one you lost imo.
What a car! You guys by far are my favourite KZreadrs! Long good content loads a videos all the time! Well done guys keep it up!
FERNANDO THE WISE! These wheels come staggered factory. I am pretty sure the front rims should be smaller. From here they both look the same. Problem solved, its the WRONG RIM SIZE. Fernand is funny wee need more Fernando!
I gotta say bro I think the original side ducts look better on that car than the carbon ones …fate huh ! oh and listen to Fernando he’s wise 🤣🤣
Stock vents actually look better
I love love LOVE this car! Way to go, Lee! I am glad you are keeping it! More Porsche builds please.

How does a Macan sound?
Stock vents were a solid choice 🤘looks better for sure over the carbon
Such a great series - congrats on making it to the end! 🎉
There is something about Porsche. The quality, the driving experience, something is there that once you drive a Porsche,, you don't want to drive another car. Basically, you drive another just to remind you how good is Porsche. I liked Fernando was so respectful with the car, he didn't try to kick the sh.t out if it. It speaks slot about his character and friendship.
Love this Channel fellas! Keep up the amazing work! This is definitely a shop I would love to work in. The banter is incredible. Thanks for the upload!

If you put the stock wheels back on and put quad tips on the exhaust it’d be a mad sleeper
run a ecu master, all the stock bus systems and buttuns will work like original and it cost like 2000$ just do it

The delay in the throttle plate was done on purpose by Porsche to protect the drivetrain from people dumping the clutch and destroying something that Porsche will be obligated to fix under warranty. You can either get a SPRINT BOOSTER that has 8 levels that will eliminate the TB delay, or have your tuner do it, but then you will be stuck in one level.
I’m happy that you guys finally finished the 997 turbo. I had asked you guys before how things were going. As you know, I really built mine. Also, it is outstanding I would never get rid of mine and I’m sure you should never get rid of yours, too much heart and soul one into that rebuild. I do have a question I tried shutting off the PSM and also turned mine sport mode. I noticed a big difference what exactly does it do? Can you explain to me what they told you about turning both of them on? Good luck with the car. My car has 780 hp now on the rebuild yours has over 1000 that is insane. Love to hear back from you guys. Congratulations.🎉🎉🎉
Loves the series. Need more 911 builds
Loved this build - from the UK keep on building and we'll keep on watching!
Ouch, losing that vent and dealing with a leaky caliper at the event was rough, the car looks good either way but I definitely preferred the carbon vents. Can’t wait to see you get these cars dialed in and run’em
Congrats on the finish, really beautiful car 👍🏻 have some fun now! 😁👍🏻
You both work together great. Super content keep it up.
nice job, as always. The only surprise here is seeing a 6cyl still in it. I am finishing up my ls7 993 build and love watching your vids while wrenching.
Think it will look better with a gloss finish on the hood & roof.
Muy bien por ti! excelente reconstrucción. me gustan los autos, este auto es lo máximo.
very cool! it's amazing to see you bring this car to completion!
I like the idea of adding just a little bit of camber anyway since this isn't really a straight line car. The only thing I would like to maybe see would be a medium profile RWB wing or maybe a ducktail to make this 997 to really stand out from the pack at a Porsche car meet, but that's just me. This is an amazing build for your first Porsche! It would be a blast to take this on a road trip to Colorado to drive on all of the insanely fun roads around the mountains there, including Pikes Peak! Maybe bring the corvette too to compare the handling around corners with different levels of boost?
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it!
You guys did a beautiful job with this build.
Great job ! Can't wait to see.the headlight upgrade
The dynamic between you two guys is on point 🤙🏼
Thank you for sharing this awesome content
You guys are awesome great videos I love the Z06’s as much as the Porsches I sorta liked the Juke video as well it’s kinda sad it couldn’t stay running long enough to make it to the end of the video plus it’s really one fugly looking car, but I have an idea maybe with some luck swap out that slow azz 13 sec 4 banger and shoe horn in a rear drive with a RB26 just then it might redeem itself? Just a thought again great content guys keep the good work up!! 👍🏻
For me, the stock vents look better and have a more aggressive look.
Stock vents look way better than carbon fiber. Honestly, im pretty over carbon fiber, i think its a bit played out. Sure, pagani looks nice with see through carbon fiber, but on rest of the cars it looks kind of cheap.
You know you guys are really funny Love the 3 Porche 1000+Horses, SunShine and LS Swap keep up the good work
So beautiful bro I feel the excitement threw you when you walked in the garage to load for track ❤
Totally awesome 🎉!!!
Lets go brother = GO GET EM= it looks soooo fast wish I could drive it
This and speed academy’s Porsche build videos are my favorite thing on KZread rn!
Im so glad you appreciate Fernando , he is solid gold
Change your wheel offset, that will also eliminate rubbing.
awesome cant wait for this one
This is a really nice car. LOVE the exhaust looks mean!
Stock vents looks good✌️ Fernando looks like someone that would fit a Porsche 👀maby you should get him one and do a build and let him help😅
Love your journey with the Porsche.
Love the color of the Porsche
Awesome!! Regards from Brazil!!
I was getting ready to comment about the Boxster steering wheel. So glad it’s being addressed.
Great build well done✔️ 👍
Factory vents for the win
Also stock vents look way better and imo, wheels are spaced too far out. Just need to get to the fender line.
What a car !!! Amazing !!! 👍👍👍
Awesome video as usual fellas... Still waiting on some more Demon content... No rush though...
😮 Amazing 😍 😻
That shade of purple looks pretty good on that cad. A,ways liked the 997. Almost bought one 10 years ago but bought an 11 Range Rover Sport SC instead. Should have bought the 997.
Definitely make the hood glossy.
Done? Lol keep at it brother
Awesome job and I think you want to change the front bumper and grill
It's great just sitting and watching this...instead of living it😂. Thx guys!!
Congratulations I know the feeling very well.
Do a track day, you no with corners, 1/4 mile stuff just bores me to death, loved the build 👍
Fernando is my spirit animal
ONE THING.... always ONE THING several times in the videoes.. like it never ends 🤣😄 But damn, it sound sooooo goooooooood 🤤🤤🤤😎😎
The stock vents look superior. Much classier than the carbon ones. Winner.
The only time I’ve seen people do that to a fender liner is when they slam their cars on the ground lol
Awesome series really enjoy watching these videos and really like watching the very nice people at @scraplifegarage....keep it up!
I love this channel beautiful Porsche
The wheels are 🔥👌
Did lost mine too at 260km/h … Vinyl carbon cover does it well
Very cool car. A budget GT2 RS. I had a modded 996 turbo with over 500 whp and that car was scary quick. I can’t imagine 1000 hp in one of these. am guessing the next upgrade is getting rid of the dated LED driving lights in the front bumper.
"Poorsh" Love those calipers!!!!
In this video, there was no walk of shame back to the garage. 🤔
Fender liner looks good to me!
been dying for this vid
I have a modded C6Z Centenniel Edition and an AIM 997.1 turbo. Relevant content here. I can relate

But that bromance :-) great job on the build guys.
Nice!!!
100% need to sort the headlamp lenses, ive got a 997, just got new lenses and will be swapped over in a few weeks, they fade and age the car.
I've been waiting for this day
Dope 997 turbo
You should start listening to Fernando 😂🇺🇲💪✌️
Now that's Very nice, finish the Wide Body Hell Cat next
Question for Lee, i have one of these cars, not built to the same level, but i was wondering which version of bilstiens do you have on it, electronic or manual adjustent? I have the electronic version and i find very bouncy once even in comfort mode.
Hate it for you that the track day didn't work out. Car is amazing!
More content from this car please!!!
Where did you find the steering wheel? Looking forward to seeing how that works out. Great build!
We need some launches !
SOMD cars and coffee in St. Marys !!!!
Heck yeah I like that
I love this car
A standalone will definitely pucker your pits when the car dances underneath you every time you mash the gas . Then you'll wish you had that pumpkin spice mode . On the other hand you'll become an expert at grading asphalt . Good work on the build . See you in the widow's nest .
Damn that tow truck’s licence plate, 979TT!? So close
