Ultimate 400k Mile 911 Suspension Refresh. Vin Brings his 911sc’s Handling To 2021 Standards

At the end of the day, does it really matter that your 911 has 400,000 miles in it, if you’ve got great pals like BBI Autosport and KW suspension? Yeah it probably does. But Vin ain’t scared of a big project, so he goes all the way in on dialing in a suspension that can hit the track with confidence. Or at least most confident than bushings that have more miles than a city bus.

the match up we all need

[@sarahshively1858]

But the Porsche will be fast and the AE86 only sounds like it's going fast, Heart needs to get a Beams swap first or just put it up against the RWB... And also Vins LS vs. Scottos S-line would be a good one if Vin still owns the LS and Scotto keeps the S-line running

[@Drakir72]

I’ve always done that phone trick! Glad to see someone else doing that

[@StewartLB9424]

Another good trick with a phone is the slow mo recording. Used it on my Iphone to check play in the steering shaft and box on my 1970 cougar. You get to see what's turning before it does anything, also good for checking play in the rack

Pro Tip: It's all just nuts and bolts.

[@robertbelote5273]

Dude dont be ashamed to steam clean it , it truly does make it faster via efficiency. Less weight( dirt gets heavy when its wet), less dirt and grime finding its way into u-joints , bearings, inbetween motor mounts, trans shift linkages, the list goes on . Point is , good work 👌

Honestly, never been much of a Porsche person except for Bisi's electric Porsche and all the RWB Porsches like Scotto's but seeing Vin work on his makes me start to like them. Never be able to afford one, unless it was like a 914 rolling shell but still, they're growing on me.

[@SebsTech1]

This is my favourite build on this channel, always click when I see this Porsche. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@daltvater78]

I did this same setup to my 1979 SC. Running on the same NT-01's. Cracked the tub first time at the track. Like a huge crack by the way. 12 inches split the tub horizontally. Front and rear shock mounts needed to be reinforced to take the vertical load. Anyway something to check out. I'd be surprised if BBI didn't suggest it. Those dudes know there stuff.

[@johnb9968]

Thousands of dollars of suspension and not an insignificant job, yet he hasn't replaced the front hood strut. It's like $15 on Pelican parts. Please put in a new gas strut and get rid of the 2 x 4. And one other thing, keep those old suspension parts, you're going to want to get some rubber bushings back in that car when you get tired of the harsh ride that comes with solid mounts and eventually you are likely to want to change the ride height to a middle ground that isn't quite so slammed. That steam cleaning is very impressive work.
