@@torquefrancisco I think the time is coming that all eyes are beginning to shift from the 911 to the 986, 7.

Agree, the underdog is becoming a unique classic piece now because of the bad publicity it got and how it was seen as unreliable by those who can not repair their own cars. Nothing can beat the smiles per miles this car can bring, NA engine, flat six, first water cooled Porsche, saved the company from demise, mid engine- a true sports car! and handles well in curves at speeds!

@@torquefranciscoabsolutely true! My friend has a 1995 911. He asked me to drive my 986. When he came back, he had a shocked look on his face. I said what's wrong? He said that in all these years he always thought the 986 was a tennis mom car or like a Fiero or Miata. He said my car out performs his on the handling because of the mid motor. He now has a whole new outlook for the best kept secret Porsche has for people like me, blue collar worker with Porsche tastes! Thanks for making this video, I enjoyed it.

@@wildwest5436 wow! The bad publicity it got in the eary 2000s really pulled down the reputation of the 986 , what non owner dont realize is that it ia a proper sport car. i too was looking for a 911, was able to drive one and for some reason 2 986s, one base and one S, dropped the 911 dream and bought a 986. IT really does handle well being a mid engine .

Thank you, some pain in restoring/building it, but the smiles per miles when you use it still overcomes that pain.

Am planning to purchase one but the IMS issue in the future worries me.

Take the plunge, IMS is not an issue if you maintain and use it regularly. Just like any other car, it has issues but can be avoided. For a peace of mind, when you buy one, replace it immediately with after market solution, buy a 986 while price is reasonable. This car is easy to work on. Lots of after market parts and YT vid available for reference as well. Own a classic Porsche now for a small price.

Very nice! How did you clean the Breather valve please? Easy job? Perhaps a fan switch upgrade!? Maybe Ok all the best..😎

Easy job, but honestly, i rather replace the whole reservoir as the bolts holding the breather valve tends to rust due to old age
