The Red Peril is Alive! | Porsche 996 Engine Build Complete @bahnsport

[@davidboyce6427]

I love seeing Martin. I enjoy when he’s giving your a good ribbing Jon. He’s fantastic 👌

[@ian_987]

As someone who's had to refresh an old Porsche, I can only smile at how happy you sounded to get it back, but I could only wince as the list of components was reeled off 😂 must have cost a fair few pennies.

[@LSD04]

Congratulations Jon, nice to see you back together again.

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Fantastic job by the Bahnsport guys deffo the No1 Porsche Specialist in the UK.. the car is reborn and im looking forward to seeing you progress with the car and see it oyt on track next season. ❤️❤️❤️

[@idesignyou...9257]

Been looking forward to this upload! Great to see it back on the driveway John, she looks great!

[@rev-you1975]

Great to hear your passion and genuine excitement about your car. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TJSTR]

No doubt expensive but, as you say, you’ve now got a fully sorted car. Really is a lovely example and looks great in guards red.

[@paulmcdougal-fc8qp]

Great to see it on its all new incarnation the joy in your voice is priceless worth every penny your only here once 🤩

[@goody5582]

Congrats John. Good to see the 996 back on the road. Have fun driving it.

[@AndrewGibson22]

Congratulations Jon, nice to know the mechanicals are 100%... Now looking forward to videos of you bringing the paintwork up to 100% 💚

[@RS_Frankie]

Good to see the Red Peril back and looking fantastic 🔥🔥🔥👍

[@SandysAutoDetailing]

Going to be pampered when you get her home john❤❤❤

[@ratton5028]

Hi Jon 🖐 I’m glad to see the Porsche back! You must be one happy camper!! Cheers!!.. 😎

[@NateTribble]

Welcome back to the 996 gang!

[@79blustone]

I bet you are buzzing about this. Both of those cars you have look so cool together. Both up to a high standard and look amazing. Sounds like a ton of work has gone into this car. Funnily enough I'm also watching another guy from the US on KZbin who's bought on exactly like yours a C2 in red. His channel is called WheelemVerb He had an overheating problem and turned out to be a 72°C thermostat fitted making the fans go wild and peaking in temperature. This guy also had done quite a lot of work himself fitting new shocks and fitted 997 GT3 rear exhaust with a centre exit- I'm not sure as the bumper isn't moulded to suit a centre exit but I guess he'll modify that. Anyway, it was fantastic to see the Red Peril back on the channel and accompanied by Dan too. Amazing 👏 🎉

[@killacamfoo]

Looks fantastic, glad you got it sorted!

[@Martinjelley]

So happy for you Jon, can’t wait to see you out on track with it next year !

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer mate next year we will have to meet up for bedford day :)

[@Martinjelley]

@ yes mate, and I really want to do Good wood next year too !

[@stephencraddock4382]

Jon I’m so excited for you I need one in my life

[@guyroberts9963]

What a lovely looking 996, great to see the investment made to keep it on the road. I drive a 997 Carrera, its my daily and im just passing 185k miles, i do all servicing myself so become familiar with all the bits that go. Love following similar experiences.

[@tunokies]

happy for you John. It's been a long time coming

[@ianharris2407]

Glad to see your 911 back and your happy , please detail the paintwork now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@martin1649]

It's been 1 step polished and coated, jon can just enjoy it now !

[@ianharris2407]

Excellent, was only asking as it had been spoken about on the channel .

[@SeattleWizard]

Congrats Jon happy for you

[@davidboyce6427]

I’m happy you got your Red Menace back😂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@MS-sy8ls]

That looks unreal!!! 👏🏻👌🏻

[@jeremytarbuck5221]

Looking fantastic

[@Simey2wheels]

Looks awesome, but be careful on track. Even with a deep sump oil starvation can still be an issue! A different aos can help also. Have fun breaking her in

[@donagnew3918]

Congratulations Jon

[@herme99]

Make sure you get min value insured. I went through a similar process on my 997, then shortly after a lorry drove into it and wrote it off. I lost a fortune.

[@ourfriendsinthenorth]

Awesome!

[@uzzg]

Congratulations dream car ❤

[@ant76og22]

Amazing what a good detailer can do😉😂

[@martin1649]

I wish every car would get an engine refresh with a polish!!!

[@briley337]

Spun a bearing on my S54 after having it for only 6 months. In the process of doing this same thing. I know exactly how you feel when you talk about missing your car. And my thoughts were exactly the same. Bite the bullet and do it right. Then I’m good to go. Thanks for the content man. Love the Porsche.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Best of luck with rebuild

[@briley337]

@@ForensicDetailing Thanks man. As I am sure you know, it's both exciting, and stressful. But mostly, just expensive. ;-)

[@padgeyboy1]

very happy for you john

[@rodmarsh3656]

Excited to watch this video and thrilled you have the car back. Mine is in now having the 1000 mile service after rebuild. Can't wait to get it back.

[@ForensicDetailing]

hows it been since the rebuild Rod?

[@rodmarsh3656]

​@ForensicDetailing perfect Jon. The 2nd gear issue is being fixed now while they do the service. Can't wait to get it back and drive it on a nice day.

[@ForensicDetailing]

nice one. I got 1000 miles to run this in. then next year to blow it up again! gonna take it to bedford or goodwood or something ill ping you mate see if your up for bringing the Millenium Peril :)

[@rodmarsh3656]

I will definitely come along

[@MichaelRenardson]

This sort of renewing and restoring is the way forwards. Love seeing these old performance cars getting the love they deserve. A million times better than the over complicated hybrid, speed limiter, lane assist rubbish coming out at the moment!

[@kbsub]

Excited for you John ❤

[@morbsgti20vt83]

Looks great and sounds like all the work they have done will give you great confidence in the car. Were you secretly a bit disappointed that you didn't get to machine polish it though.... ??

[@ForensicDetailing]

I will still give it the once over mate you know me :) but not till sping most probably. car is lovely and glossy and had such a good clean but this car will never be a show car under the summer sun. When I bought it I knew it was swirl central but if she was too mint I wouldnt want to tear around a track in it :) bahnsport guys also cleaned out all the suspension coils and arches and all the engine innards etc... so underneath is cool.. main aim with this car is too keep it mechanically solid now. Ive just ordered the tuning arms and Im going to fix a few advisories scott kindly told me about.

[@batesyboy1970]

Yessss ❤

[@Porsche997C4S1]

Awesome! Enjoy it in good health.

[@jamest5149]

I would do a oil change at 600 miles and then at 1200 miles, this covers the run in period. Glad they did the first change at 100 miles, you definitely don’t want to go further, its always best to do the first change after the first full heat cycle @ 20 miles approx, but 100 miles is best.

[@FireTwo]

Happy days! Hopefully we shall both at spa in late spring 🙏

[@glumdogtrillionaire]

PSA: When running in an engine, the most important thing to avoid is high load on the engine. Rowing through the rev range is important but certainly not hitting the limiter. You want the piston rings and cylinder walls to mate perfectly though the full range. High load and sustained driving at a specific RPM has the potential to create a lip of the cylinder wall.

[@Audittr2108]

Congrats Jon, enjoy! Can’t believe they polished it. Get what you pay for I suppose.

[@RyanAMG]

Well done John I’m happy for you mate! You got your girl back 😂 Haha that made me laugh it being detailed the cheek of it 😂

[@ForensicDetailing]

I appreciate that they cleaned it because it blew up after track day. alloys were pastered and car was dirty. they cleaned all the underneath and coilovers and had car pro valeted. whoever did it got it looking lovely.

[@RyanAMG]

@@ForensicDetailing they have done a really good job John. Would you be willing to share how much you spent on repairs? Would be really interested to know

[@01123581321341]

that Porsch-uh! does look nice. Like the red. Not the alloys. Respect the German engineering.

[@martin1649]

Jon i'm curious now, which car do you drive in winter to work, is it going to be the porsche now or the e36 ?

[@ForensicDetailing]

both mate I will switch them around drive one for a bit then the other... will try and use the porky for a bit to put on the run in miles.

[@aryan-orionbelt2037]

From myanmar❤

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Big up the PINKYS crew 💕💕😂👌🌮

[@jeffchandler7662]

We know you’ll still polish it when you get it home Jon !!!!!

[@ForensicDetailing]

it crossed my mind :)

[@maverick4177]

The wheels need to be BBS gold centres

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer weiss gold satin centres or just OEM look I think I will go but just need to not spend money for a bit :)

[@FireTwo]

Weiss light gold would be perfect 👌🏻

[@stuntcar]

How much did it cost?

[@liamneale1831]

How longs a piece of string

[@mattmay2173]

Pleased for you Jon .

[@Concienta]

Tidy, but would’ve loved a closer peek of the engine .. and sound even

[@thomashumber9762]

What on earth did the engine work cost?

[@danbowdrey7753]

Can I ask why you didnt go the Hartec route?

[@ForensicDetailing]

Cost mate rebuild cost plus new crank. Would be close to total cost of all this with extra work

[@speedyben]

How much? 😂 Lovely car that you can enjoy now, it's an investment!

[@jonathanboreham8717]

Great video but why not a single mention on how much this work costs !

[@ForensicDetailing]

maybe because some things are private etc

[@johncawley807]

I would love to know how much a job like this costs 🤑

[@stevenwillox6768]

[@jakubhladil5340]

Could we maybe do a scientific test of microfiber towel washing mashine cross contamination? I dont believe I cannot wash wax towels with drying towels, I dont think any grease can resist to quality detergent. Just a video idea.

[@martin1649]

My washing machine that holds 6kgs of load doesn't even finish the cycle with my liquid elements black hole drying towel haha it's too heavy when wet. But i only watch out for glass towels and wash those separately.

[@davidboyce6427]

Why won’t your friend tell us what cleaning product was used. I remember Scott because approximately 3 years ago 😂 he was instrumental in helping you source parts when you were helping out a friend restore his VW RABBIT?

[@ForensicDetailing]

I think that was andy from heritage parts centre.

[@davidboyce6427]

@ you got some great friends Jon🤗🤗

[@darryl_quinn]

First 👌
