5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY 996 PORSCHE 911... (Why You Should Actually Buy One)

[@FlatSix981]

The low key video was just fine. Feel better soon.

[@nhpstudio]

thank you! glad you enjoyed

[@996Revival]

It was the right car at the right time🙌🏼

[@nhpstudio]

yes!

Randomly stumbled across your channel. Love your energy, love the car, keep doing what you love and I hope you’re able to make a living doing this KZbin thing, or find your career through the connections you’re making just enjoying your life and contributing to car culture.

[@nhpstudio]

thank you so much really appreciate it !

My Porsche Boxster 986 also did not come with a cupholder however there is a solution for it! There are aftermarket cupholders that fit into the armrest, I bought one and they work fine! I recommend it!

[@nhpstudio]

i saw that one! good to know you’d reccomend it

[@aspenyukon6845]

1: UnPlug 🔌 the seat 💺 motor. 2: Move the steering button shifter down to the shifter with race car 🏎 parts. 3: install the drink 🍸 cooler in the rear seat that normally does nothing.

Another solid video man. Not sure if you ever made a video about this but if i can ask how you afforded a tesla and the porshe (i.e. what are you doing for work/income). Is it the film work?

[@nhpstudio]

definitely open to making one !

[@nprg91]

Early 996s had `oem clip in cupholders that fit into little holes in the left & right air vent, but seems like your car doesn't have the mounting holes. Probably it is a later model. You might just swap the air vent surround and get the OEM cupholders

I bought an aftermarket cup holder for my 996. It slides between the center console and the passenger seat. Work great, was inexpensive and doesn't impede on the passenger.

[@nhpstudio]

that sounds good, my dads working on 3d printing one rn haha. of that doesn’t work maybe i’ll try that

[@MrJackson3215]

Saw a different KZbinr install a cup holder that basically clips into the head unit on the passenger side

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

The only thing I hate about my 996 is wondering when my $30K Porsche will demand a $30K engine rebuild... otherwise I love the thing to death.

[@DKarGarage]

What's the milage on it?

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

123,000 kilometres (~76,000 miles)

Hi Noah wow 5 things that's more than expected lol... So check out messages for my idea to sort that seat thing .... Also I think that gear lever should manually change up & down so maybe get that looked at ... Mph should be around 20mpg even for a tiptronic unless it's C4 then 18-19mpg ... manual C2 are 21-24 mpg you can get better but ofcourse that's no fun 😂.... The cup holder thing is everyone's 996 problem but loads of aftermarket options...bottom of the seat , in the armrest and on the dash ... 😎👌 I'm so glad you and this car met ... Your helping the 996 community get even more love 💕💕💕

[@nhpstudio]

Man coming up with any list was hard 😂 there’s really nothing horrible about this car! It’s a C4 so that makes sense why it’s closer to 18-19 mpg. And thanks for the tips on the seat i’m gonna try it this weekend, i made this video before i saw the response. Thank you again, i am too so glad i met this car

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

@@nhpstudio yes C4 TIPTRONIC about 18mpg is right 😂

[@MartinGT3]

Thanks for your work man! Looking forward to every video! And PLEASE put on the Carrera rear Badge!😊

[@nhpstudio]

not a fan of no badge? i’m indifferent about it, but waiting until i get paint correct to put it on

[@MartinGT3]

Imo it's a must, flat black on silver would be perfect👌🏼

[@Alexander_Goodrun]

Looking for a targa or turbo myself bro.

[@nhpstudio]

can’t go wrong with either, turbo looks nice

[@corvettenyc72op21]

I just got a 997.2 and I have the same “issue” with the electric seat, have not figured out it out yet

[@bangkokballer4103]

Ebay or I guess a Porsche main dealer will have the correct for your car original Porsche cup holders.. You can buy a pair they clip into the dashboard air vents just inside the doors

[@nhpstudio]

yeah! working on 3d printing one now

[@Greg-sw7uu]

Yeah man there maybe a way to reset the seat. I hope to get my 996 in a few years. I’m thinking of a 4s. I found one right now I would love to get but I don’t have the money for it at the moment and have a lot going on.

[@nhpstudio]

That’s okay! timing will do its thing, and bring you the right one

[@francisflorez5581]

The dot 1 996 911 never had cup holders.

[@nhpstudio]

i know… sad

[@juryca]

All those things are unique to your car or driving style 😂

[@marvinvisser5039]

My BMW 540 is more economical 😂 However my JDM Forester STI did worse when it came to fuel consumption..
