In this latest installment from Adam LZ, we find ourselves immersed in the world of his beloved 964 Porsche. With a partnership with eBay Motors, Adam has been on a mission to transform this mint green beauty into the ultimate driving machine. In this episode, he takes us through the installation of coilovers and wheels, giving the car a whole new stance and presence on the road. And let me tell you, it drives like a dream.
But Adam doesn't stop there. He's got big plans for this Porsche, including a manual transmission swap that will truly elevate the driving experience. He's already got the parts ready to go, and once the few remaining maintenance tasks are taken care of, this car will be hitting the road for its first big adventure - a road trip to Miami for the renowned DRT Porsche show.
Of course, no project car is complete without a few hiccups along the way. Adam learns the hard way about overfilling the oil and the scalding consequences that follow. But he takes it all in stride, showcasing the true spirit of the air-cooled life. And speaking of air-cooled, Adam also takes the time to make some aesthetic improvements, tidying up the front bumper and adding some stickers to cover up unsightly holes.
With the car now road-trip ready, Adam and his girlfriend Colette embark on their journey to Miami. Along the way, they discover the joys of the car's comfort and performance, with Colette praising the seat tilt and the surprisingly smooth ride. However, they do encounter a minor setback when the AC stops working, a reminder that even the best-laid plans sometimes need a little adjustment.
Arriving at the DRT Porsche show, Adam and Colette are greeted by a sea of impressive cars, each worth more than his entire collection. But Adam, ever the enthusiast, takes it all in stride, reminding us that it's not about having the biggest boat or the fanciest car, but about enjoying the journey and the experiences along the way. And with that philosophy in mind, they dive headfirst into the world of Porsche enthusiasts, soaking up the atmosphere and admiring the incredible machines on display.
In the end, this episode of Adam LZ's Porsche project is a testament to the passion and dedication that goes into building and enjoying a car. From the technical challenges to the road trip adventures, it's a rollercoaster ride that keeps us hooked from start to finish. And with each step, Adam brings us closer to the ultimate goal - a Porsche that not only looks stunning but also delivers an exhilarating driving experience.
