    Hoovie, you have a reputation to uphold!!! You MUST do the ridiculous things, like a Dakar/Safari conversion. Somebody has to do it, it might as well be you. Plus, once it gets done and you show it around, you can take it to Barrett-Jackson and maybe flip it for something else that's unique (or totally ragged out). Watching the process would make for an interesting series of videos.

    The gas smell is coming from the "top hat" in the frunk! The fuel sending unit lives under that cover, and after 20 ish years they start to crack and weep fuel. It's just 4 nuts that hold it on and you should be able to see the fuel puddling in the top of it causing it to smell. Happened on my 02 996 C4S and a new sending unit solved the issue.
    Btw the Safari idea is AMAZING. DO IT!

    That’d be a big hellyeah for the Safari conversion! Way more interesting than just another restoration!

    Sounds like a great idea and that's the perfect donor platform to do it on. You could even save some bucks and instead of painting, do a wrap with different colors to emulate a sponsored off road runner. Go for it.

    Hey! I really love these 911 turbo's. I live in a very rural area in northwestern Ontario, Canada (only a few hours away from Winnipeg) with TONS of long gravel forestry roads that actually make for awesome driving with plenty of corners and hills with beautiful forest scenery. These roads are however usually pretty rough... It would be FANTASTIC to see a powerful high end car such as this porsche with a 3 inch off road lift/suspension package. We have mostly pickup trucks and the odd suv/jeeps around here. I drive an older F150 5.4 3v (had to say it for the wizard) that I have locked and tuned the variable valve timing system so it doesnt work, along with some other engine mods this has bullet proofed the engine. With my 3 inch lift and 35" tires these graveI roads are pretty fun. My point is however that where i live no one even owns a porsche! I want to see this 911 turbo ripping on some gravel backroads! It would be so much fun to have that type of car turned into a sort of high end rally speed machine! It would destroy a subaru WRX. Please go ahead with the mods! UUUUGH im excited like a little kid thinking of the high power short wheel base absolute ripper that car could be! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

    I have been with you since the beginning Hoovie.....Dont Do It .Don't offroad this 996 get it sorted don't bother with Spoiler etc. Drive it make Videos with it
    .......thats it .

    That rear spoiler could be as simple as a dusty micro switch.
    The switch is on the right hand (US passenger)side under the spoiler lid, had a black cover. Pop the cover off, contact clean abs see what happens.

    From one Hoovy to another Hoovie...I approve to build it up to a safari spec. It would be even more awesome to see you participate in an off-road event with it!

    Yesssss make it a super powered sand buggy or something. Maybe not a full safari build but like those old VW dune buggies but with WAY more power.

    I'd just have a 911 Turbo beater project. I don't mind those transmissions at all for GT style trips or traffic. Well I would have bought something cheaper to build as a beater but I'm not Hoovie.
    Putting that much into a conversion for this car seems like it's just burning the money. I like the idea a lot, I built an AWD rally car using a super beetle shell over a custom chassis for the 1.8T quattro power train with front engine and rear rads/cooling. About as close as I would get to something like this Porsche.

    @wilsonlaidlaw Před rokem +7

    Great idea Hoovie. The 996 turbo is a less than wonderful car and yes I did have one, with at 540 HP engine, which made it plain scary. Converting it to a Safari is a wonderful way to kill it off more rapidly and have fun in the process.

    You should definitely do the conversion it’s gonna turn out great also I wanted to mention the credibility of established titles it’s not my place to talk about how good they are as a company but there are numerous videos talking about their practices which are potential scams

    I’m a hard core manual guy but for off road slow speed stuff *when you’ve got no low range* it seems to me that a slush box is a great compromise. I’ve never done true off roading or crawling though! I’d love to see this experiment

    • @seshelbow336
      @seshelbow336 Před rokem +1

      I had a manual one.....and as much as it never made me fall in love with it.....one thing i could never say was it was lacking in low range.....these things will chew up a 305 pilot sport with any hint of angle like nothing else from any RPM on the dryest stickiest tarmac you put in front of it.

    • @MiguelGarcia-vj7oo
      @MiguelGarcia-vj7oo Před rokem

      There is a reason why the homologation special Montero came with an automatic.... Or why rock crawlers are automatic, and why Bajas are auto...... Manual is super challenging in any form of off-road motorsport..... The quattro S1 was the first dual clutch.

  • @TheDENNISCASH
    @TheDENNISCASH Před rokem +19

    Definetly do it, and you need to add a martini livery wrap to it. Surely if you sort the mechanicals, add the kit, and get it wrapped it'll be worth more than the sum of its parts! You'd be maybe $60k in but surely with the rarety and the recent porsche announcement you'd be inline for some profit.
