Thank you for sharing this video for all of the internet to see

Gratz to your boy vu! You must be proud!

Never play the chemistry that you only knew a little.

How can I get an insider sticker?

Attended my first parade and wow the people are really friendly especially the awesome PCA members from the local Birmingham area! Oklahoma next--we'll see!

Damon, you have great taste lol. I have a 987.2 Boxter 2.9. so I'm really interested in what you've done to your Cayman 2.7. have you documented it?

Is there a video of the concours awards ceremony?

5:15 Touche Manny!

I just bought a 991.1 cab. This session was very useful. Thanks to all three of you.

One of the funniest videos to date! Nathan was in rare form. 😂 Did a little recon for you on Bill and Debbie Cooper’s 911 color (they live a few houses down 😜). The color is Polar Blue or Coppa Florio.

Wow, you guys are brutal! Looking forward to Parade 2026 in Lake Placid, NY

Parade was great, thanks to everyone who was involved, especially the volunteers. I thought Nathan's tech tactics talk was very insightful. Congratulations Levi 💪

Its not a fair comparisson, same age aston and gt3 price is sooo far apart, so I think the vantage is currently the best value used sports car. I can't see 2008 model in 10 years being anything less than a 100k in europe

“They are terrified of vegetables here”-Nathan……..Just a great episode!

The Birmingham Concours site was awesome. Congratulations on a great Parade.

OMG the banter between Nathan and Manny is hilarious.

Unknown car. Basically, any car not bought from a private individual is that. Most car dealers do not have the maintenance done except carfax.

Great job! Manny and Chris made a great team!

Great video, thanks for posting! Always learn a little bit more every time I hear Lake speak, awesome!!

Hi guys, I have a Porsche 911 Carrera 4s 991.1 with 33,000 miles PDK transmission, the sound of its naturally aspirated engine is phenomenal. I use it almost daily. I recently went on a long trip with my wife and two children, ages 9 and 7. From Monterrey Nuevo Leon to Los Cabos BCS in Mexico, it was 2,400 miles. The 911 behaved fantastically on long journeys, if I could I would buy another one like it!! Thank you for your very knowledgeable talks.

I get that this would be special, but between the cost and added hoops (tires, PPF, lack of use while paying, etc), why not just rent a 911 and drive it in Germany?

Nice video, congrats

this guy seems like a self proclaimed 'expert' - the Porsche 'whisperer' !

Great video but l think l will go and buy a Porsche.2 instead less hassle. I won’t to keep my dream car a dream 😂👊🏽

Im sorry but the oil has nothing to do with the failure of the IMS bearing. Its the actual way the bearing is situated in the engine. It is hidden under the crank shaft and it just does not get enough oil fed to it to do its job. They already tried the sealed bearing that actually has oil in it but even that failed because of high temperatures and the speed of rotation this has to endure. This is such an important part of the engine Not once in this video have i heard this guy mention what the intermediate shaft does and how important it is for engine timing and cam shaft reliability. Not once has he mentioned the failings that are of Porsche to blame. They messed up with the whole build of the Horizontally apposed engine in a 6 cylinder unit. The forces of this Naturally exasperated engine is huge and they put a puny bearing with no direct oil feed on the most important part of the engine and fuck it up. This guy is full of shit. There is no excuse for it. It has to be changed at least at 50k miles before it has a chance to fail. Changing the engine oil will do nothing for the IMS bearing. The only way to stop this for good is to feed the bearing with oil direct. This way it has a constant feed of oil. Go hear to look at the kit. www.design911.co.uk/p/ims-single-row-bearing-direct-oil-feed--dof--intermediate-shaft-retrofit-kit-for-boxster-986---996/ Otherwise just keep changing it out every 30k miles. There is no other fix. Remember its not all Porsches You can have the exact same vehicle exact same miles full service history oil change ect and one will have IMS bearing failure one wont. Preventative measures are always better than repairing and cost. The IMS bearing can fail without stripping or putting bits in the oil. It can fail just by the bearing being loose from the ball bearings in the bearing failing. Porsche should have had their own bearing made that was able to feed itself with oil. After all its an rotational engine part and responsible for keeping the Intermediate shaft in place to allow for the cam timing to be precise driven by a chain. The chain is lubricated direct from the oil so why not the Bearing also. This video is so frustrating to watch and to think this guy is teaching people and coming on youtube talking bollocks!

Is that hat really necessary?

BIG THUMBS DOWN!¬

well thats just great? you start by having the engine on a completely different angle to what you would see the engine as it sits in the bay? He has the Bank of one side of the engine facing up. Let me explain for him. The top were the piston connecting rods are on the top well, that should be facing towards him so the crankshaft is at the bottom or the engine as we all know it to be and the IMS is under it. I cant believe this guy. No water pump to show us no journal bearing in the pump side of the engine to show us OMG! please dont tell me this guy actually trains people about this stuff. I think he has forgotten we are just Porsche owners and have a go DIY people some mechanics maybe but not Porsche technicians. Please invest in a camera that can do close ups. I know the difference with the sprocket end of the intermediate shaft but we are trying to educate people hear at least show them what your explaining? Everyone watching this video is obviously interested in the whole concept of the IMS and bearing. This is (quote- better technology) making the drive sprocket a little wider, Wow must have been a Porsche professor who thought of that. What technology !!! I will just put another little something rite. You will not see the IMS drive chain or sprocket by taking your gearbox off. You will only see the IMS bearing. So you will never know what shaft you have unless you take the oil sump off along with many other parts , which i would not recommend. Im so glad they put that reference up on the screen because a lot of early year Caymans had the M96 IMS. I was just about to pull this man apart as he has all the years mixed up and just mumbo jumbo talk. As well as the screen comments take everything this man says as Loosely. What a shambles this video is, i hope Porsche themselves see it and order this man to get some serious training. I feel sorry for the other presenter as you can see by his face he knows this is all bullshit. Just 1 more thing to round this off. The whole point of this video is about the IMS Bearing failing in the Porsche they are fitted with. The failing is 99% of the time because they were not lubricated properly. They would just get the splash from the crankshaft rotation and nothing more. Considering how important this bearing is in as part of the engine this was just thoughtless The oil filled bearing had to put up with tremendous heat and the rotation from the shaft which dried them out in no time. When changing the IMS bearing you can purchase a replacement that is manufactured to have its own oil feed that you can plug and play. I have fitted hundreds of these and they stop this fault for good. A good explanation of this and fitting the new oil fed IMS bearing is to watch Ant Anstead on wheeler dealers season 15 episode 10. You will see and learn exactly what why and how.

That's all great about power, Handling, braking but it is fucking UGLY! The back end just does not belong to a Porsche and the rear under sills are too high. The angle of the arches is just stupid it should wrap around the wheel like a 911 not veer off making the wheels look puny. Someone agrees with me as throughout the whole video there is one very quick shot of the rear end from a full 90 degree angle. Because its even more ugly face on. Sorry but its just my opinion.

I have a 2001 996TT...and I love it...its a beast of a car! I have black full leather interior - but I love that spec in the video with the Boxter Red interior!

Thanks for the helpful video! Can you tell me what kind of wheels are on the blue Porsche in the background?

2:39 ashtray gap is huge

More ethanol rather than less is beneficial for performance. Maybe you should consider ways to adapt to increased ethanol instead of trying to combat it.

Why does the narc conversation hi jack/talk about himself bicycling and pizza so much?

I had to watch it again, picked up my Spyder from Porsche Mechanicsburg last week. What a fun car!

I came across this video on my timeline and i’m happy now 😊

I have an 88 Cabriolet, great video, learned heaps.

Very interesting, great information, my bucket list is a Cayman S, 987.1, some day!

Fantastic video, very informative. Great work. Comparison to GT4 would be great to see in another video.

Very informative. Answered a lot of questions about doing ppf and window tint. Thank you!

The 964 was a revolutionary evolution of the 911. While the exterior kept the familiar 911 shape, the under pinnings were dramatically different. Gone where the antiquated torsion bars replaced by coil overs. The addition of optional all wheel drive required a drive shaft tunnel. This replaced the long somewhat vague shifter, with a shorter more precise shifter. If you’ve owned a 993 you be surprised to note many of the parts are marked 964. 😊

PPF 👍🏻

Finally some real info on these additives. Go follow him. Got a couple of channels. Use the PEA fuel additives. Don’t use oil additives ever. Just change oil at 5000 mikes and use Penzoil if you want to spend more for good science. That’s what I’ve learned from this guys videos. Time well spent I’d say.

Just took delivery and unfortunately got mine ppf at the dealer. First off crapy job with knife cuts and they wrapped my headlights when I specifically told them not to. Live and learn as well think best is to go to a actual detail ppf shop instead of the dealerships. Just didn't want to deal with transporting without having protection on my brand new porsche.

Jesus you’ve sold a lot of these cars 😂

Another great episode, very informative. But I gotta ask, what's the bell on the table for? Is that a countermeasure for questionable dialog or to curtail extended pontification? (I apologize if it has already been explained, I've missed a few episodes)

Please share the “rinse less wash” you recommend. Many thanks for the great programming, as usual.

So its been a year now ,has anyone tried it ????....i love the concept!!! Sounds like a great way to be eco friendly and prolong our engines .....

Oh, dear. I just brought my 992 in to get a PPF. I hope you guys confirm my decision. In the end, I had no choice: another stone chip in the marvellous paintwork would ruin my nerves ;o)

Once had an installer leave knife cuts all along the edges of the PPF on a brand new 911. Work was done by Porsche of Livermore. Lesson to be learned. Never use a dealer for these services.
