    I'm always impressed with how comprehensive the work is... fair play. It's nice to see. No corners are cut!

    The 996 4S will never get old.

    Like the concept of you filming the work being carried out on the cars for sale. Gives buyers confidence on what they're buying.

    The 996 C4S looks just like the turbo without the rear intakes and bumper grilles - spot on!

    Love this channel! Hope to buy a C4S from you...one day 🙏

    Glad to hear you are putting those wheels back to silver! Don't know why people paint them black, just my opinion but standard factory spec is always best

      I do agree, these are very specifically sought after and cherished cars - although each to their own.. lol

    I love these videos. Thankyou so much for going to the trouble to be so detailed in your reviews and straightforward mechanical assessments of these wonderful cars. Please keep them coming.

    Iggy Pop followed by The Velvet Underground … good sounds, great cars 👍

    I’ve been watching since the start and I’ve noticed the quality of the videos and the services you offer improve.
    Just to say, I’ve been debating a manual 996 C4S or 997.1 C2S on and off for a few years but just opted for a manual M2 LCI - I’ll eventually scratch the itch and when I do, I’ll be looking here 👍🏼

    Looking at doing something similar in the US. What are you doing with regards to bore scoring?
    Are you borescoping the cars before you buy them?
    Really enjoying the channel!

    Hi! I saw a lot of your videos and i ear you many times talk about the sunroof, you like o dislike sunroof on the 996s?

    • @friendsgreenporsche5234
      @friendsgreenporsche5234  Před 3 lety +2

      Hi, I’m partial to a non sunroof car because I like the sleeker, cleaner looking roof line.

    Great work and good for future customers to see the work carried out. Re the ims bearings you remove, how many would probably fail and are the lower mileage cars more prone to failure do you think? Keep up the good work 👍

    • @Carrera-gp9od
      @Carrera-gp9od Před 3 lety

      I would like to know this too, do any of them show signs of wear ?

    • @friendsgreenporsche5234
      @friendsgreenporsche5234  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi, I’m sorry, we can’t advise an accurate figure as we upgrade nearly all of the cars’ bearings. Our only experience of failure was actually on a dual row bearing, high mile car.

    Great video
    Keep making 996 vids
    Any IPD plenums?

    • @RK-is6hz
      @RK-is6hz Před 3 lety

      Yes any?? Or the X51??

    • @friendsgreenporsche5234
      @friendsgreenporsche5234  Před 3 lety

      Hi, we don’t modify cars in preparation for sale, but could certainly install one if a customer requested.

    • @aflor5824
      @aflor5824 Před 3 lety +1

      Ok
      I am in Denmark 😆

    • @RK-is6hz
      @RK-is6hz Před 3 lety

      No my question was more if you have had any stock with the X51 upgrade or IPD

    Who did you use for your wheel colour change, please? What is the process to change?

  • @dennishastings5500
    @dennishastings5500 Před 3 lety +1

    Do you check for bore scoring on the 996 & early 997
