Mike was refusing to shoot another minute of this series if he didnt get his Pizza and Beer! Get going on the 06'Thad, while the motivation is high 😂 Thanks for watching!
I’m giving you guys a standing ovation, this was such a fun journey. I absolutely loved this series. I even got to sneak by in the background of one of the episodes. 😂 I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Awesome !! I have a 08 VW Touareg V8 FSI w/ Air Suspension, damn I LOVE IT !! I get all my parts from FCP Euro. Glad you race what you sell. Best of luck this year
This was awesome! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. So much drama 😳 I would love to see more build series!! Maybe feature a VW TDI that needs a refresh?? 😬
Ben u guys killed....the cayenne looking good.....cleaned up well.....my 957 GTS on 22" will never go off roading......she's a tarmac queen.....seeing what she is capable of really made me smile....well done lads....love from uk
Adil , means a lot! Keep your GTS clean knowing its Turbo counterpart is here in the States getting dents and dings enough for the both of them. These cars are capable of anything you need from it, whether it be tarmac, trails, and sometimes...water. 😂Thanks for watching the series!
Awesome videos guys. I just put a Eurowise roof rack on my 958 CD and I’ve got my Eurowise lift kit and front bumper in the garage waiting for free time to be bolted on.
This is why the car community should never die. Making connections with people and inspiring others to do the same. Hope to see you all at the racetrack soon!
My God, she cleans up well.. What a Beauty.. A Black Stallion!!! Yay!!! MIKE finally got his Pizza and Beer!!! While Subaru uses, "LOVE, it's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru," LOVE it's what makes FCP Euro, and the rest of the CAR Community, a pleasure to be around and part of.. Well Done, guys!!!!
@@fcpeuro Thank You for reciprocating the love. Keep growing; As a company, as enthusiasts, and encouraging DIYers.. PS: Yes!!! Until the Next Series..
This was a really good series. Showed not just a regular build, but full story all the ups and downs and mistakes. That's +A content. Now you need a budget build series.
Carrie we wish we were kidding.... (as we look into the parking lot and watch Ben jump start the Cayenne to head home for the day). May be some leftover electrical gremlins we've got to still work out. Maybe season 2 😂
What a great series, and well timed. Hard to believe you guys started all of this a year ago and it came out just as the Cayenne/Touareg overland movement has really exploded, in the last few months.
Thanks Steve, at first we were bummed it didnt come out ahead of the curve, but looking back it really worked out. We loved seeing the entire VAG/Porsche Off Road scene absolutely explode throughout the entirety of this project. Hopefully people can come back and watch this series as a bit of a road map to the do's and don'ts!
priceless story. 12 months and we got only 7 EP. after watching I am thinking about getting a 957 Turbo :-) Thank you guys job well done. Thanks to the cameraman, and editing.
If we would have let the crew make more this thing could have easily been a 14 part saga 😂 You should 100% do it John, as you witnessed, amazing platform, with all the potential in the world.
I just did a 2005 CS build - a Transsyberia tribute. It sold recently on BaT. Working with Eurowise is great! Excellent customer service - even when they get the shipping wrong... Love those guys. And now that I am several orders in with FCP Euro, feel like I have found my new parts haven. Great build guys and it was fun to watch your journey.
Beautifully shot, skillfully edited, great storyline, empathetic characters, GREAT vehicle, tastefully modified, real world challenges and surmounting obstacles (literally!). What a great series. Thoroughly enjoyed it lads! I don't know why... But the Liqui Moly coozies made me smile. They should make those look like an actual product, and label it "Social Lubricant" and make up some funny blurb to print on it... ;-) Lost opportunity there... I think you showcased the Thule, Berg, and especially the EuroWise products, those vendors should be very happy with you. Not to mention demonstrating the depth of FCP's product offering... A cap for a windshield washer tank!!! Really??? In stock!!! There is a reason why FCP is my go to source for parts for my Porsches and Mercedes. Another thing your series did was to humanize the company. Because as you know, dealing with a company online is not a personal thing. But "meeting" you guys, and all the others from FCP really brought home the fact that you are all enthusiasts! That you love what you do, and it's a passion. I've been following Gareth, Nathan, Mike, and especially Kyle of late (By necessity! But also by choice :-) as he is excellent) for the excellent tech videos, but seeing you guys outside the repair bay has been even better. Knowing that you guys too are fallible, just makes me feel even closer to you as real people, and by dint, the company. Kudos to FCP for allowing you guys the freedom, time and resources to make such entertaining and elucidating content. Please keep it up. Maybe a series of builds... Porsche track day build for someone who's never been to the track... And the same for a BMW... A rally build for an Audi... A drift build? There are many possibilities, and I'd watch them all. Again, thanks guys for giving us the opportunity to see behind the curtain, it was great fun, and cemented my relationship with FCP.
Wow TigreBrian, we made sure to share this comment with the team because it really hit home for everyone involved. We love hearing our communities thoughts on everything we do, whether its content, our customer service, or our products etc. it honestly impacts the decisions we make, and things we choose to do. We think you'll be happy to know there's a lot more of where this came from, in addition to continuing to widen our breadth of DIY content at the same exact time. We hope to strike a balance between it all. The team went out on a limb a bit on this one, and have been excited to see how well received it was (bc we know we had a blast making it).
Steffen Niemetz from LM himself called it "Personality Additive" at the end of our additives explained video ! 😂it should be trademarked and marketed accordingly.
I was going to transform my Touareg, to basically the same speck you did, but I thought everyone would think I was nuts. You guys are nuts, I’m glad you spent the money & time I didn’t! :-) Nice build guys.
Great series, it's all about the journey - and the people! Personally, this had made me more inclined to shop FCP Euro first. PS - they also have the best price on oil-change packages for your PIG!
I have a 2004 cayenne turbo. Its been sitting for years, I was going to scrap it due to engine issues. But now I'll be restoring it next winter. Great video series, thank you for the inspiration!
Awesome job guys. Was painful to see Ben's face when it locked, but watching the sheer joy when they finished the engine swap was magical. Hell of a ride and a story. Well done
I could say alot of things about this build series but all I'll say is thank you for such a beautiful series of videos, much love from the UK and keep up all that you do.
GREAT series guys! Not only did you gain a new customer (me), you hooked my 6-year-old daughter on overland mods for my 03 Cayenne Turbo. (Translation: My budget to build up my Cayenne just increased because its Daddy-Daughter bonding!)
Wow Aaron, appreciate the support! That one hits home for Ben as his three year old daughter is obsessed with “her” Cayennnnne. Let us know how the build goes!
This was the coolest series ever!! Fell down this rabbit hole b/c I just got myself an '06 955! Very excited to experience this beast! I'll treat her well and hopefully she does the same for me!! ...just no skinny dipping... 😅
Very much enjoyed watching this entire series (I didn't even know it was going on until I received an email from FCP Euro on the final episode). As a former owner of a 955TT "unicorn" (factory rear mounted spare tire, advanced offroad package, interior carbon fiber trim, etc.), I was happy to see that you guys put so much thought and effort (and a little bit of beer) into this build. I wish you many more years and miles of fun with this. Bravo!
Oh man factory tire carrier is rad , jealous there! The team had a blast putting this project together from start to finish, we're glad the email lead you here Chris!
A bit late to the party. But I watched the whole Cayenne series. CZcams was kind enough to start me from the beginning of it....likely because of my recent searches. So at least I got to see it in order.. I recently purchased a 'mint' 2008 'S'....with an engine that ticks louder than 'time-bomb' (ironically)...haha.. And the end goal will be something (very) similar to your rig. I'll likely be surfing the FCP site, for some parts n pieces....once things get going. Thanks for the cool little story/adventure to get me pumped for the work ahead!
Never too late The Katmann, we hope this party continues on! Glad the series found you one way or another. Let us know how we can help once the fun begins on your 957 S build!
damn what a journey! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs! Just bought a 957 base model and hope to show it the same love you've given the yippie cayenne (minus needing a new heart transplant hahaha) about to tackle all the fluids for maintenance tomorrow from FCP Euro!
Much like our manual and our Porsche says, Drive within your operational experience limitations. Which I appreciate the honesty and not trying to say ride within the postage State speed limits after putting 180 mph on the dashboard
wow that was an awesome ride of a series. im currently looking for my own Cayenne to start doing some of the same mods to, so your videos are definitely on my saved list. why buy a 100k$ car when you can buy a 100k km one and just dump a pile of cash and effort in to make it optioned for a second more adventure filled life.
Truly loved this. Definitely an eye opener in modern day technically, craftsmanship and imagination. It also shows what the automotive community is and should be about. The one thing that I would like to know, in real world figures, what would the build cost if someone would like to duplicate or do something similar? The reason I ask is next year I am going to be traveling to different areas to ride dual sport motorcycles such as Colorado and I have been trying to figure out what vehicle will be best. Your set up is pretty much ideal because I will be towing a BMW R1200RT, KTM 690 Enduro, tools, camping gear and so on. Out of all the trucks, SUV's and Jeeps I have researched. I really like this the best because of the drivability enjoyment of driving on and off road when not loaded but still have the ability to tow without issue.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Great job guys! Glad to see the Cayenne finished -- makes me want to get one of my own. 🤔 But I should finish my 951 first. Oh yeah and it was good to see that Mike finally got his pizza and beer. 🤣
Also, if you have not already, you will want to pull up the front carpet and dry the wiring looms, as they have lots of unsealed splices. Done it myself and redid and sealed the factory splices, as the car uses resistance signalling for the CAN bus system, so a bad connection can make very strange things happen :D
Ben, it was great meeting you at grid life, and thanks for recommending the build series. I binged it on the way home haha. One question, is the cayenne still worth it after all the trouble?
Are you guys going to tear down the hydro-locked engine? would make a really interesting video! Guessing the bent rod will be one of the front cylinders. I have driven my Cayenne Turbo through water many times but never more than 350mm.
Pizza as Porsche's manual says engine oil is toxic danger of poisoning do not consume food or drink while working danger of mixing. Always set the good example
The problem with the trunk cabinet is it’s not elevated to allow access to the under the trunk storage area that was for the spare and other tools. The hinged cover for the spare tire storage area can slide out so you can have access to a place for more dirty straps, tools and stuff.
Not wrong JT, its inconvenient but we are able to lift the cabinet up to get access to the bottom storage space for anything we don't plan to use often.
Love the coozies pizza the Tow .. The attitude. Next time spray AquaNet har spray on the electric plugs n places. Bummer the battery location isn't great for water on the floor.
Maybe season two is stripping the weight, lowering the car, putting some sticky tires and bigger turbos, and take this thing to the track!? Glad you enjoyed it mousiee7.
С одной стороны органайзер красивый и сделано качественно. Но не понятно зачем, под полом есть еще оромный отсек, доступ в который теперь закрыт, я лично делал кардинально по другому. И куча места и проще и доступ всегда есть в нижний отсек. Но за проект спасибо. Я надеюсь свой porsche safari тоже скоро дострою❤
Wow, enjoyed following your journey! My son and I are doing a heart transplant on a 2008 957 turbo currently so we watched episode six intently...many hands makes quick work. Ben- were you able to repair the cracked pano roof? Ours has the same issue.
Thanks for following along John, we have ample footage from the engine replacement if you guys want to see anything specific let us know and we can do our best to help out! Good luck on your 957 journey though, hope its one for you and your son to remember. In regards to the rear pano roof, we honestly left it as s, since it was tinted (maybe false sense of security of it not shattering), and the fact that its always covered by the tent. That said down the road we will likely properly fix it.
How about a report on how those cabinets worked out and a CAD file or contact info for the cabinet company to build some more? Looks like they would work out great for storage for my 955 rally sweep truck. There's always so many things you need to organize and find for fast rally recovery/course clearing, and this looks a lot better than a bunch of milk crates and strapped down boxes in the back.
Hey Motronic944 we are still working on a final file to upload to our site for people to use for free. Ben has also talked about producing some more with the cabinet shot that can come as a kit ready to build. We will keep you posted because it would be the perfect addition to your rally sweep truck, its really an ideal way to safely and efficiently load out the rear of any 955/957.
Great series and great timing, just started my 955 overland build. You mentioned you were going to publish the dimensions/ plans for the cargo area cabinet, have you done this anywhere or could you post it here please?
Is it too late to ask you to share the *Total Cost of Repair Parts* for "Phase 1" (getting it running initially), and parts cost for "Phase 2" (engine swap)?
Changed my transmission fluid with this kit; now transmission whines , especially in 1st gear.. even without moving. Don't know what I did wrong, seems to be straight forward maintenance task. Any ideas?
Hey, loved the series. Any chance to get the link or part number for the steering rack? Mine needs replacing and bosch one would be great as the proper one is really expensive lol. Cheers
@@fcpeuro thank you very much, I really hope that you guys will do another series with this cayenne...there's still a lot that can be modified haha and to be honest, just seeing the journey/ adventure your doing is amazing, do keep up the good work and I hope you consider doing a second series ;)
955 325 363 12 , 955 325 363 02 . We are trying to source them again to list them, but its a common issue to have them weep fluid. Be sure to check your transmission units under the passenger seat! Thanks for the support Jun.
@@fcpeuro thanks really helpful adding them to my cart. Definitely there is some weep, not a lot but better to replace it before it becomes an issue. Thanks you guys are awesome and great to see the people behind the company
We missed the mark on not getting #pizzaandbeer trending this whole time Rasco88 😆Hmmm RWD and Big Turbo sounds fun.... stay tuned bc we mayyyy have already started that project/series coming out around August
Thank goodness Mike got his pizza and beer! This was an awesome series. Makes me really motivated to get bustin' on my 2006 base :)
Mike was refusing to shoot another minute of this series if he didnt get his Pizza and Beer! Get going on the 06'Thad, while the motivation is high 😂 Thanks for watching!
Well gone guys. Glad to have been a part of this series! Can’t wait for the next one!
I’m giving you guys a standing ovation, this was such a fun journey. I absolutely loved this series. I even got to sneak by in the background of one of the episodes. 😂 I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Walk into the content space Stacy you can see what's on deck 😁thanks for the IT support on the backend throughout this project!
Awesome !! I have a 08 VW Touareg V8 FSI w/ Air Suspension, damn I LOVE IT !!
I get all my parts from FCP Euro. Glad you race what you sell. Best of luck this year
If we wouldn't put it on our cars, we wouldn't sell it to you. And truly mean that, appreciate the support Kevin!
Proof that cars bring people together...along with pizza and beer.
This was awesome! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. So much drama 😳 I would love to see more build series!! Maybe feature a VW TDI that needs a refresh?? 😬
Hope you enjoyed the passenger seat on this ride Kelsey! The 850 Project - season 2 will be out in the coming weeks, stay tuned!!!
Ben u guys killed....the cayenne looking good.....cleaned up well.....my 957 GTS on 22" will never go off roading......she's a tarmac queen.....seeing what she is capable of really made me smile....well done lads....love from uk

Kiss Kiss we have enjoyed your enthusiasm and comments each week, appreciate your support and we'll see you on the next series.
@@fcpeuro Thank You for reciprocating the love. Keep growing; As a company, as enthusiasts, and encouraging DIYers..
PS: Yes!!! Until the Next Series..
Think we could get a total build cost breakdown? Awesome series!
We can certainly work on a follow up piece of content like that Max! Ben may not want to face the facts though 😂
I also would love to see a total cost breakdown. This was a fantastic series.
Well done guys, excellent series and narrating by Ben. Looking forward to more!
We appreciate the kind words cmanios, many more projects to come. Stay tuned!
This was a really good series. Showed not just a regular build, but full story all the ups and downs and mistakes. That's +A content. Now you need a budget build series.
Thanks Rory, the car is the vessel, the journey and adventure along the way are what make the stories! Lot of new series in the works, so stay tuned!
Dang ! What a freaking adventure......loved watching every minute of it. Surely you were kidding when you mentioned the starter at the end ?
Carrie we wish we were kidding.... (as we look into the parking lot and watch Ben jump start the Cayenne to head home for the day). May be some leftover electrical gremlins we've got to still work out. Maybe season 2 😂
Encore for a full cost detail break down would be great!!
We will look to create a follow up piece about the entire cost breakdown of the project John, whether Ben wants to, or not 😂
I have enjoyed every bit of this, it makes me more proud of owning a Cayenne👍🏿
Heck ya Rick, Cayenne owners need to stick together, its a rough world out there 😁 Thanks for watching.
Great series. Hope to see another one soon. And thanks to FCP for helping me keep my Audi’s on the road
Many more on the way Chris, and happy to help keep you and your 4 rings on the road.

It's well deserved I'd say

What a great project this turned out to be! Beautiful end result. Form and function.
Thanks Jonnie B. we couldn't be happier with the form and function we ended up with on this one!
Motivation for my new pig, well done guys.
Let the piggy eat Riggsbee, let us know how it goes as you work through your adventure!
I could say alot of things about this build series but all I'll say is thank you for such a beautiful series of videos, much love from the UK and keep up all that you do.
Hopefully only good things to say haha! We appreciate you watching EnglishJay, thanks for coming along on the journey.
great job and i love your project could not be beater
Loved the series! Keep it up. Great camera work, long nights, noobie hazards, and car friends: this series has it all.

Done it myself and redid and sealed the factory splices, as the car uses resistance signalling for the CAN bus system, so a bad connection can make very strange things happen :D
But will there be a season two?!
You tell us Ethan!?
Happy ending but sad its over --fun unscripted adventure! So many plans for my 955T...
Happy building! I'm sure Ben will keep surprising us...
Ben, it was great meeting you at grid life, and thanks for recommending the build series. I binged it on the way home haha. One question, is the cayenne still worth it after all the trouble?
Are you guys going to tear down the hydro-locked engine? would make a really interesting video! Guessing the bent rod will be one of the front cylinders. I have driven my Cayenne Turbo through water many times but never more than 350mm.
Pizza as Porsche's manual says engine oil is toxic danger of poisoning do not consume food or drink while working danger of mixing. Always set the good example
The problem with the trunk cabinet is it’s not elevated to allow access to the under the trunk storage area that was for the spare and other tools. The hinged cover for the spare tire storage area can slide out so you can have access to a place for more dirty straps, tools and stuff.
Not wrong JT, its inconvenient but we are able to lift the cabinet up to get access to the bottom storage space for anything we don't plan to use often.
Sweet! Be sure to show how to change that starter! 😁 In all seriousness, it's like the PCA says : "it's not just the cars...it's the People".
We couldn't agree more Johnathon, the people are what make it. Starter DIY incoming.... or maybe electrical diagnosis first 😂
Love the coozies pizza the Tow .. The attitude. Next time spray AquaNet har spray on the electric plugs n places. Bummer the battery location isn't great for water on the floor.
Good call on the hair spray, miserble place for a bettery to live - it haunts the car till this day 😂Thanks for watching the sries Trinidad Sanchez!
Great series, fellas. It's made me want a Cayenne; although mine will be just lowered a tad with wheels 😀
Maybe season two is stripping the weight, lowering the car, putting some sticky tires and bigger turbos, and take this thing to the track!? Glad you enjoyed it mousiee7.
I want one too
С одной стороны органайзер красивый и сделано качественно. Но не понятно зачем, под полом есть еще оромный отсек, доступ в который теперь закрыт, я лично делал кардинально по другому. И куча места и проще и доступ всегда есть в нижний отсек. Но за проект спасибо. Я надеюсь свой porsche safari тоже скоро дострою❤
Wow, enjoyed following your journey!
My son and I are doing a heart transplant on a 2008 957 turbo currently so we watched episode six intently...many hands makes quick work.
Ben- were you able to repair the cracked pano roof? Ours has the same issue.
Thanks for following along John, we have ample footage from the engine replacement if you guys want to see anything specific let us know and we can do our best to help out! Good luck on your 957 journey though, hope its one for you and your son to remember. In regards to the rear pano roof, we honestly left it as s, since it was tinted (maybe false sense of security of it not shattering), and the fact that its always covered by the tent. That said down the road we will likely properly fix it.
Waiting on my parts from FCP euro myself for a valve cover job on my 09 CTTS.
Hopefully they arrive soon Matthew!
@@fcpeuro fed ex says sunday, but let's be real :p
NOOOOOOO!!!!! Don't say it's the last episode... Please!!!! LOL!!
Okay fine!! Onto the "Last Episode."
How about a report on how those cabinets worked out and a CAD file or contact info for the cabinet company to build some more? Looks like they would work out great for storage for my 955 rally sweep truck. There's always so many things you need to organize and find for fast rally recovery/course clearing, and this looks a lot better than a bunch of milk crates and strapped down boxes in the back.
Hey Motronic944 we are still working on a final file to upload to our site for people to use for free. Ben has also talked about producing some more with the cabinet shot that can come as a kit ready to build. We will keep you posted because it would be the perfect addition to your rally sweep truck, its really an ideal way to safely and efficiently load out the rear of any 955/957.
@@fcpeuro very interested in this. Keep us posted!
@@fcpeuro Any update on the cabinet files or scanner files? This would be a big help and would avoid me starting from scratch.
I am sad now cos I just missed the opportunity to see you guys :(
Plenty more opportunities Kenneth, we will be at a ton of events with the car this year! We'd love to meet ya!
Great series and great timing, just started my 955 overland build. You mentioned you were going to publish the dimensions/ plans for the cargo area cabinet, have you done this anywhere or could you post it here please?
Loved watching this, just curious, what was the total spend on this adventure?
Love that you loved watching this J Herbert! We may make Ben face the facts and create a follow up piece to go over cost breakdown of the build.
Pure awesomesauce! Well done boys! Where do we get some of those Yippee Cayenne stickers? Love it!
Send an email to benjamin.marouski@fcpeuro.com , we will send some your way! Thanks for watching the series Mikey.
Why don’t you use grover washers? Nice build, btw
Is it too late to ask you to share the *Total Cost of Repair Parts* for "Phase 1" (getting it running initially), and parts cost for "Phase 2" (engine swap)?
Was it all worth it in the end though?
Loved the series, you guys rock! Please enlight us: The costs where around????
We are prying at Ben for the numbers, we will keep you posted 😅
TOMS BOAT SHOP LIKE YOUR VIDEOS
My dream
😎 cool gays
Dreams come true!
Broooooo
Bruhhh!
Changed my transmission fluid with this kit; now transmission whines , especially in 1st gear.. even without moving. Don't know what I did wrong, seems to be straight forward maintenance task. Any ideas?
Hey, loved the series. Any chance to get the link or part number for the steering rack? Mine needs replacing and bosch one would be great as the proper one is really expensive lol. Cheers
Hi Kalax, we used BOS-KS00002007 as our Cayenne is equipped with Code 1N3 Servotronic Speed Dependent Power Assisted Steering.
@@fcpeuro thank you very much, I really hope that you guys will do another series with this cayenne...there's still a lot that can be modified haha and to be honest, just seeing the journey/ adventure your doing is amazing, do keep up the good work and I hope you consider doing a second series ;)
Nice to see this series, we have a cayenne too and we buy the parts from fcp. What is that harness on the transmission? something I haven’t done yet.
955 325 363 12 , 955 325 363 02 . We are trying to source them again to list them, but its a common issue to have them weep fluid. Be sure to check your transmission units under the passenger seat! Thanks for the support Jun.
@@fcpeuro thanks really helpful adding them to my cart. Definitely there is some weep, not a lot but better to replace it before it becomes an issue. Thanks you guys are awesome and great to see the people behind the company
👍✌
Need moar updatessss
snorkel ?
Will you guys publish the cnc file for the drawer setup?
We will indeed Jose! We are working getting it up on our site for people to download for free. Will keep you posted.
*scratches neck* what’s the next project? ……..
maybe something RWD with a big turbo 👀
#pizzaandbeer
We missed the mark on not getting #pizzaandbeer trending this whole time Rasco88 😆Hmmm RWD and Big Turbo sounds fun.... stay tuned bc we mayyyy have already started that project/series coming out around August
What roof rack system did you use?
Thanks
The roof rack came from our friend Mike over at Eurowise!
Where can we buy yippee cayenne stickers?
Working on it!
Did Hidalgo ever get beer?
I’m glad he finally got pizza and beer!😂
So they didn't put a snorkel on it lol?
😓😓😓😓
@@fcpeuro it is important 😆
You'll be hungry in 20 minutes after you eat Chinese food.
It normally goes through me before the 20 minutes are up🤣
😂
Did you get into programming the PASM, so it doesn't lower automatically at higher speeds? Do you know a shop that does that?
Great series!!
