After spending $150k building a 1000hp Porsche 911 Turbo, the previous owner of this manual 997 found himself in a terrible situation when the engine failed only 300 MILES later!

When the shop refuses to warranty the build, he made the tough decision to sell this Porsche and move on… That’s where I come in!
I bought it (& got an entire TRUCK FULL of parts with it!) with the plan to restore it back to nearly stock!
We have a LONG road ahead of us, but have the perfect ace in the hole from a previous video…

Now when are you going to make it out to GVBC?
Those wheels suck
This looks like an EvoSpec build
Lucas Oil safeguard e85 fuel conditioner once a month goes a long way. I have more than 6years running e85 on my 997.1 and have had zero issues.

Where are you finding cars like this?
I know the owner. We used to be in the same Evo group and did events together. He dealt with so much stupid shit just to get the car to run right until all this legal shit happened. I'm just glad it's out of his hair so he can get his Evo up and running again. Also helps with his overall morale
I love this channel. It is so much fun watching your automotive antics!
I am thinking of a grill for the shop would be nice
Isn't it sad that the most amazing German chassis is spoiled by an unreliable engine , come on Porsche ,shame on you !
Porsche crankcase fish tank for the office
You are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN! Enjoy watching your adventures, Thanks
The last thing you said in this video about E85 is so true! Too many younger drivers only care about hp numbers and don't look at the bigger picture.
The shop that built my car tried to convince me to add E85 to my build and I flat-out refused….I don't care how much more power it'll make…if the car was not originally built for it, I'm not leaving that crap in my tank to damage the pump, lines, and injectors.
Make a cool engineering cutaway for your shop with the scrap motor
I would suggest you encase that block half and crank in clear epoxy. Would make for an awesome end table.
That is a beautiful car. Are you selling after fixing it, is a 997 right.?
Boat anchor! Just like anything else from porsche!!! Just kidding.
20:51 That's what she said. That's what she said.
Man just love your videos I'm a gear head an unable to do car like before so really enjoy ur repairs thxs
Looks like after the first failure spun bearing, who ever rebuild the engine the second time did not fully get all the metal shavings clean and that cause the second engine failure.. it is hard to fully clean all metal shavings out..
Being a Porsche, I think Tweety would be a more appropriate name.
Make a end table out it, glass top.
