Very helpful video!

I recently had my lock mechanism out to rekey the ignition. I came across a tip on how to remove the sheer bolts that worked for me… take needle nose vice grips and grip the head of the bolt and turn. I was surprised at what low torque the sheer bolts snapped off at since this technique worked. Worth a try before spending 30 min with a drill.

Such great content! Fellow Pelican here and always enjoy your videos. Hadn't thought of this - my 87 the lock works but this sounds terrifying.

Thank you for your informative video and review this is a big game changer for me after doing this for more than 40 years on my 1977, 911 S. I ordered my kit with extra shims and screws to keep me running for years to come. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Thank you for this video. This is your subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles, but watching your video on the big island of Hawaii. I don’t see very many air cooled Porsches on the big island and we have eight islands so I don’t know maybe on other islands maybe there’s a Porsche, but on the big island, there aren’t very many 911. But waiting for the part three of the installation. Thank you. Your subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles.

"...there will be some purists, among us...who say that the engine is music to our ears..." Oh, man do I hear that when they peer into the interior. I very tastefully installed (in one of my 86's) a very clean head unit, front AND rear components, subwoofer, amp and overall been one of the best upgrades to the car - for me. My quasi hot rod build has over 200,000 miles on it and my wife and I take it on weekend trips and grocery runs. She loves having the stereo for cross country trips - as do I. Glad to see you are doing what you want...I really respect a purists take and just nod my head and smile every time I get "the lecture" about 'the sound of the engine is all they need.' Sometimes we also need a little Iron Maiden and/or Scorpions :) Looking forward to future videos - Erik

In prior message, the dates are wrong. SNAPGAP is open for business until Dec. 1, 2023 or until inventory runs out.

Looking forward to part 2. Great video!

What happened to this company? WHY can anyone buy the kit anymore????

Hugely helpful! Just installing mine now 😊

Very informative, did you ever follow up with Stomski regarding the reach issue of the small dial indicator and is the solution to buy one small gauge to get to the difficult to access valves and one of the larger gauges to do the bottom exhaust valves? I’ve heard people removing the cat to gain better access.

Thank you for this video !!! I know this is four years old but still thank you

Had a similar problem with my chevy truck, First make sure your LED's are bipolar, the side marker is the most important or at least it can be, in some vehicles relays reverse neg and positive leads. Fast flash requires a digital relay to replace the old analog relay. That is why I stumble on your video looking for someone who has found a digital relay for 87" 911

Hi, Great video indeed...where can you buy the rear cover for the engine bay ? couldn't read the brand from the video...thanks from Belgium, G

Just get aero mirros off a 964/993. Look way better! and you can still control them from inside.

Went to H4s on my ‘88 3.2 - having same issue - that is only one high beam works after installing Your video highlighted the need for relay and ease of install - thank you !

Great video. Fully identify with your experience…I’m pretty much in the same boat, ‘81SC. Appreciate your take on working on these amazing cars with not much of a mechanic’s background. Really remarkable what we can learn on KZbin. Really well produced videos as well. Congrats. Keep the content coming! The valve adjustment seems pretty daunting…have you noticed a difference in performance with the SnapGap solution? It seems almost like the perfect solution. Is there a risk the shim falls into engine when you replace it? I’m thinking of just getting the gauge but the digital one not the smaller one you got. Would the digital meter work on intake and exhaust valves? I saw the video where they say the smaller non-digital meter is good for valve adjustment when you don’t drop the engine, but I don’t know, seems like the digital one may work as well. Cheers.

Great video, will be looking at this when my SC arrives…currently travelling on a ship. Did it solve the valve noise? Also love to get a video on the ducktail. Was that something you’ve added, it didn’t look like it was there in your earlier videos. Great channel, cheers

Ordered a snapgap kit for my ‘79SC right after seeing this. Thanks for sharing, really great content!

got it!!

Super informative.

Great vid - thanks. Going to do this with my '82 SC.

Same here. Those guys are great resources. Don’t forget Heidi and Franny’s Garage. Her step by step is fantastic. Garage time is awesome too. I’m about to do the same stuff on my channel on my 77. Maybe we’ll see you in the comments.

You’ll need a special indicator relay if you plan to use led indicators.

Vitaloni Sebring mirrors are better mounted on the front wing, NOT on the doors. They should be equal distance from the drivers eyes so the driver's side in a bit forward of the passenger side.

I was wondering why you were wearing a Toronto Blue Jays hat! I have only seen TO, LA and NYC people wear them. Cool. Thnx for the vid. Just got a RL pedal set for my 996TT.

good job! Mine has been sitting in the drawer for over 10 years... I may have to get out of bed and tackle this mod.

Agree, I hate logos... except Porsche logo of course. :)

Well done vid :)

🤌💎👏✨✨✨🚀💪❤️🔋🙌🙌🙌🧘‍♂️🙏

👏👏👏✨✨✨💎👑🚀👌🤌🙌🙌🙌🔋🧘‍♂️💪🎯🙏

And Bobs your uncle! Thank you, I will now install my JWest kit.

Hey you didn't mention how stiff is the strut brace ?? does it band or move??? because if it does than its pointless...

What shifter are you using?

Well done! i've watched all of your vids. Good job, well explained, your car is amazing by the way. Nobody does that kind of tutorial in France... keep going!

If you ever get stuck anywhere on a project or need any help I will be glad to see what tips I can give you or see if I can help in any way.

The Bentley service manuals are soooooo good; I’ve rebuilt engine and trans and I literally live by that book! 😍

not convinced bout this mod

I wish you tested it out to see the difference and also show in your video how stiff the bars are.... etc

Didn’t even bother looking at the instructions from JWest, followed along with your vid and had the relay installed in less than 30min. Thanks!!

Great install. Cool meeting you today. Hope we can go for a rip soon. Cheers

Wow, what a PITA. Not worth it. Leave the original brake/clutch, just intsall the acc. pedal, since it's adjustable and you can actually get some benefit.

I agree with your choices on channels to subscribe to. Tom from Ahhh Garage Time is an awesome KZbin channel to watch. I comment or talk with him in general on almost all of his posts. Keep up the good work man!

Dan, thanks again for another great informative video! It seems your projects are very similar to my own. Kudo's!

I enjoy your videos, this one needed a demo footage of you sitting and checking out the finished product! Keep up the good work man!

Great video! I'm in the process of customizing my 87 911 and enjoyed watching this video and will be prepared when I install my set of pedals!

Hey man, great video! I found you on Pelican and then watched again here! I have been torn between switching to the Aero mirrors or Vitaloni's! How do you like them after the install? Did you choose the convex mirrors for more visibility? Thanks again man for an awesome video!!

Hey Dan, really like the style of your videos. I will definitely be referencing this as I mod my carrera. I'm a complete noob when it comes to working on my car. Is that just a normal power drill with a drill bit that you used to drill through the metal brake and clutch pedals?

Thank you for uploading, really helpful!

Great video. I had pulled down the Porsche Strut Mount Instructions which looked easy enough... That being said, it's all about having the right tools and thinking through the set-up for a positive results. Well done sir! Thank you for your efforts and posting this for all.
