Was Buying The CHEAPEST Porsche 911 a BAD Idea? (Hidden Costs)

Make Sure You Check Out AutoTempest ➡: www.autotempest.com/?

[@dfgyjfgfgg2080]

Ok

[@Galavard06]

You really are doing a honor for your father, and I think you should put your father’s name onto it.

[@Dans_TACPs]

yes i think he should

[@captaincrankshaft]

I like that idea a lot!

[@RaSh_Reacts448]

GOOD IDEA BTW

[@TCGB_media]

@@captaincrankshaft yeahhh, btw where u gonna put it?

[@dieselscartalk4146]

You should put it on the car in the Porsche logo font

[@Ethan_R]

It will look sick when it’s done

I saw a sick pink 996 on bbs rims the other day looked awesome

[@Nathanielbowditch6811]

Can we just respect the amount of confidence and perseverance this guy has. He is openly throwing himself into this situation with a positive mindset. Underrated channel, much love ❤👍

[@deanlutgert8292]

Those headlights came off of the best looking race car Porsche ever built

[@tuktuk1959]

3:45 Isn't this preventable if you try to find better fitting piston rings? In the way you explain it it seems it has to do with the quality of those.

[@justinmckeown9029]

A few things worth mentioning: bore scoring has nothing to do with oiling system inefficiencies, but more so the cylinder wall material (lokasil on M96/7’s, but Alusil used on the next generation 9A1’s). It also starts at the base of the cylinder and a proper bore scope should be performed through the sump. Going through the spark plug hole only shows 1/2 the picture and if scoring is that far advanced to be seen, you’re looking at a $20k+ rebuild very soon. Regarding the IMSB, it’s actually a brilliant design tainted by bean counters. All 911’s up to the 991 have an IMS, but the bearings are oiled, plain bearings, unlike the much maligned M96/7’s sealed ball bearing unit. Seal degrades, bearing goes dry and boom, full rebuild needed. Most people just recommend replacing it when a clutch is due and realize it’s a maintenance item. Check out Hartech, LN engineering and Flat 6 Innovations; they’re all wealths of knowledge with these engines! Ok, I’m done geeking out and I’m sub’d! I’ve owned a 996 for the past 6 years and love it enough to stick with it for a high performance rebuild. Until mine’s done, I’ll be looking forward to updates on yours!

[@luisRoma747]

Hello can you recommend a shop in Southern California that checks and does the PPI and bore scope. Thank you

[@SmaugBoi]

I've come to the personal conclusion that the bore scoring problem isn't worth my investment in a 911(my dream car). Just blows my mind. The issue hasn't been fixed(still being found on newer 997s). The IMS issue has overshadowed the graver issue being the bore scoring.

[@Martin-Trust]

Since you got the exhaust upgraded,you should try a body kit and upgrade the engine which is your choice. Body always lights a old cars spark,I mean then get a screaming Grey color and black rims

[@dinukadahanayake3413]

You're channel deserves top tier recognition due to the context of the content you put out. You can find enough restoration/repair vids but advice that helps you make a decision and a budget before purchasing is pretty rare. I've been supporting you since the beginning and I shall support this journey for years to come! :) Good luck Captain.

[@Shrersh69420]

There was a worse 911. It’s from 2001

[@patpateephangern9379]

Thanks for all the wonderful videos and shorts. I hope they continue :).

[@captaincrankshaft]

They’re not going anywhere!

[@BasidikAnan]

Bro you are a wonderful person. You are one of the channels that I respect most.

[@artsytofu1942]

Dead serious I love the headlights! I like it more than my 997

[@axyt_]

Love the long vids, keep it up man!

[@hello2345]

Waiting for more mods. Install some mods in the interior too..

[@captaincrankshaft]

We have a lot of parts coming in!

[@tonioriginal3215]

A few stethic changes could be made, well only one really, get rid of the damn headlights and put some normal ones! The 996 is so low valued because of the damn headlights

[@Perunaehk]

I love your porsche and i think that the headlights look cool because of the porsche 911 gt1. Your dad may rest in peace

[@ambivalentonion2620]

it's good to get a bore scored cheap porsche because it means you can rebuild it to a bigger engine freshly rebuilt for cheaper than a good used 911

[@purveshnavghare9365]

Lots of love from India . Love your work . ❤❤

[@redd7969]

I can’t wait for the upcoming vids about this car

[@rosemariebontia4051]

U should add some bodykits and make it a little lowered

[@keyaanmithani9497]

I never comment on videos, but this was great. Keep it up!

[@Chickenskydiving]

Love the vids when is the next garage vid going to come out

[@captaincrankshaft]

Its in the works currently :)

[@Aacvcc]

Hey captain crankshaft I love ur vids it's very interesting!

[@captaincrankshaft]

Thank you! Appreciate the support. Lots of mods coming for the car

[@dan_lazaro]

I like the 996 even from childhood it's the first porsche I bought on nfs mw as a kid and I like it more than the 911 Carrera in the game

[@Rippenitup]

The g body cars can melt pistons if running lean

[@legendaryfools6099]

I always rush to watch these videos once uploaded. Great entertainment man.

[@karlanthonyangas9420]

No. It's cheap because of the problematic engine IMS bearing, bore scoring

[@BrickShot-LEGO-builds]

Waiting for the garage haha:)

[@captaincrankshaft]

[@juneemalik]

I get myself one and if the engine brakes I might as well just put a rotary inside!

[@_xvoltex_zfear]

I cant wait for the results❤

[@gorn9161]

I would unabashedly run the GT3 Wing ✊

[@lazyryan26]

I mean the headlights are nicer then any other 911 headlight (if you have the 4s version)

[@k0unitX]

OR, you can get a 987.2 Cayman S for not that much more money, and get a way better, newer, and more reliable car. Same power, too, if you compare both cars with a stage 1 tune.

[@F430Gated]

What year is this 911? My dad has one and seems brand new. (He’s got the 2001 carrera)

[@Movel_DemonOfficial]

Thats funny I clicked this vid and a porche ad came up 😂😂😂

[@jaspertheredfoxOWO]

What about the porche boxtor does are cheaper found one whit 85,000miles for 7,000$

[@CS_GO_HACK]

Cool vid bro

[@captaincrankshaft]

Thank you!

[@TacoBoyBill]

If it ain't broke don't fix it - nf

[@Rogue--gg6nt]

What about the 944? its super cheap rn plus its awesome

[@FueledBy.Passion]

Over priced in the current used car market still in 2024. 90% of it is a Boxster but a bargain being a 911 at that. $15k 8 months ago? Not bad. Prior to covid they were all over the place $11-15k manual transmission. Low miles like in the 30k range $22k Every 1st 911 buyer afraid of being priced out of the 911 market started a bidding war on clean examples and prices started to go up. When the low mileage examples started to dry up, then the 80k-100k mile well maintained cars, prices on those went up, and people started to pay up to $30k 🤦 now the market is slowing down on 1st Gen 996's

[@thomasholgate3136]

Love ur vids

[@captaincrankshaft]

Thank you 👏👏

[@masteroogway8254]

I spent 5k on my Alfa Romeo sunsroof replacement 😢

You should get facial plastic surgery to look like your father. Then drive it everywhere he would... wearing his old clothes. That's how you honor the man.

There's nothing more expensive than the most depreciated used sports car available.

[@sausagelizer4444]

Does it come in automatic

[@mnemosyneoinone1896]

the 944 is very underrated

[@CapitulationTrader]

Eric! Sweet 996!

[@Mofak_MO]

in Türkiye it cost 1,5m to 2,2m and the average salary is 8,5k 🙂

[@Man4AllSeasons]

The 996 was the most sold of all Porsche 911’s The IMS bearing, & bore scoring, are vastly exaggerated, in terms of occurrence But don’t let me intrude with facts, to spoil ‘scary content’ 😂

[@Dbstarwastaken]

Love from India ❤❤

[@aaravgarg3418]

Its not done yet, right? its gonna be the coolewt after its done

[@captaincrankshaft]

Not even close to done yet :) A TON of cool mods coming

Man such a beautiful car Im definitely gonna buy one when i can

[@templetonthegood]

Theres nothing more expensive than a cheap German car

The lowest 996 in my country (belgium) costs 25k going up to 89k , why is the american market so cheap wtf
