We Made Our Cheap Porsche FASTER For FREE

Over the last few months, we’ve been restoring this £5000 Porsche 911 to its former glory. We pulled it out of a scrapyard where it had been left because of some nasty vandalism, got it running for cheap, made it road-legal again, modified it, and then took it on a 1000-mile journey across Europe. Today, we’re in full preparation mode to take this car up against AutoAlex’s V6 MX-5 on track, but first up, we need to find out how much power this little old 911 is making.

OMG youtubers that actually did a dyno before mods and checked the weight before changes. Unheard of! Stuff of legends.

I love how carthrottle getting taken over by a knob resulted in us getting 3 new channels pumping out better stuff

[schwuzi]

Really liked the total cost breakdown! Really we need more of that. The freebies are okay but I always like to know how much stuff would run me as a normal guy.

Keep doing what you're doing please :)

[ZachPritchard]

The cost breakdown at the end was EVERYTHING. More channels need to do stuff like that, puts building a car into perspective for those who haven’t done it before. Also Edwin, nice arse crack

looking at the heavier soot on the passenger side, you may have some early bore scoring on the driver side cylinders. Pull the spark plugs and oil pan, then use a borescope to check the cylinder walls, ESPECIALLY #4 and #6. If there's scoring, take it to Hartech and they'll make it better.

Lads, you might have air in the cooling system, next to the blue cap on the coolant tank, should be another back looking cap, with a lever on it, when cold, remove the blue cap, and lift and lock up the lever on the black cap, should hear some air gurgle away. Its the bleeder valve on the expansion tank. Hope this helps and might help with the over heating issue

[pilcrow]

Bearing in mind that quite a few of those parts and mods were preferential, and not mandatory to pass an MOT, you totally have got this "back on the road" for double it's price. Winner.

you're wanting to beat Phil? Just wait for the rust to do the job

Loving this series, please let TDC be the proper car-build nerd side of the Auto Alex Universe..

[MrPuddles]

You lads are doing the right thing sticking with a project and seeing it through. Please don't start buying projects and not finishing them. We don't need another car buying channel like Alex.

[macca]

If these were an hour long, I'd have no complaints. Easy watch.

[Metroshica]

You guys are just so much better than the other car channels out there right now. The cost breakdown was such a great idea! Also, I loved that you kept in the wrap part, even though you ended up not using it. Your whole channel feels real and relatable.

The best bit about that new exhaust is that it makes a lot more 'flat-six' noises and I think it might even sound better than it did without the muffler. Too many after-market exhausts are just generic loudness and noise, so for Rich to wing it and make something that makes it genuinely sound better is a great advert for his skill.

[jmhofmeyr]

Rich is one of those secretly world class pro's that doesn't look it at first and just wings everything, and it end up being perfect.

I love a lot of things about this channel. Before weight and HP numbers, real cost breakdown and, things actually get finished rather then forgotten. Stop doing such things, or this will become my favourite Youtube channel.

5:58 bro wot this is the last thing I expected to find in a TDC video ☠☠

[Randombrudddaaa]

Boys, been following this since Ep1!! The fact that you brought this car back on to the road, and made it road legal, is mental. Lowkey inspirational.

[Satori-Automotive]

9:07 there is nothing better, then getting ur tip polished :)
