Ep 6. 2008 Porsche 911 and 1971 Plymouth GTX

In season 8, episode 6 of Car Fix, the hosts Jared Zimmerman and Lou Santiago are tasked with working on two very different cars, a 2008 Porsche 911 and a 1971 Plymouth GTX. The Porsche owner has brought in their car to get upgrades to increase its power and make it more fun to drive. The Plymouth GTX owner has brought in their car for a full restoration from the ground up.

The Porsche 911 is already a high-performance car, but the owner wants to take it to the next level. Jared and Lou decide to start by modifying the exhaust system to get a more aggressive sound from the car. They then upgrade the intake system to increase airflow and performance. To get even more power, they replace the stock ECU with a custom tuned one. The final step is to install new turbochargers to really push the car's performance to the limit.

The Plymouth GTX is a classic American muscle car that has seen better days. The owner wants a complete restoration, so Jared and Lou start by taking the car completely apart to assess the damage. They find rust and damage throughout the car and decide that the best course of action is to replace the entire body. They order a new body and begin the painstaking process of transferring all the parts from the old car to the new one.

Once the new body is installed, they begin the process of restoring the engine and transmission. They find that the engine has been modified in the past, so they decide to rebuild it to make sure it is in top shape. They also replace the transmission to ensure smooth shifting and maximum performance.

Throughout the episode, the hosts provide expert tips and tricks for car enthusiasts looking to work on their own cars. They also share the history and design features of the two cars they are working on, giving viewers a deeper understanding of automotive engineering.

In the end, the Porsche 911 and Plymouth GTX are transformed into dream machines that any car enthusiast would be proud to own. The hosts demonstrate that with the right upgrades and restoration techniques, any car can be brought back to life and made better than ever before.
