Default 996 Turbo

Can’t believe I’m writing this as I’m really still in two minds about selling, the only reason is I hardly use the car and it really is a waste of an amazing car.

03 seal grey 996 turbo with 32000 miles
Last serviced 2000 miles ago by Porsche Edinburgh, including a plug change and brake service.
FPSH, SAT NAV, Alacantara roof lining, HID lights full option spec list on request.

I’ve owned the car for under two years and added to the already impressive spec list, which brings the car up to around 550 BHP.

Here is a list of the mods done on top of the already high spec standard car, which would add up to over 25k’s worth without fitting.

GT2 front bumper
Mashaw GT2 rear
6pot 375mm Front brakes
6pot 375mm Rear brakes
19" BBS LM's with ps2 tires
K24 turbos
Bell cored coolers
Forge diverter valves
Up rated intake pipe work

Sasch motorsport clutch
Silicone boost hoses
Remap
Miltek exhaust and manifolds
997 GT3 short shift
GT3 roll bars
Adjustable rose jointed drop links front and rear
Moton Clubsports with up rated top mounts


As i said above im not sure on selling so if I dont get close to the asking price of 37500 it wont be going anywhere.

I have my standard 4 pot brakes if it helps? might be better pulling few nice bits off it and getting back on std rims and brakes etc etc.

modded Porsches take ages to sell sometimes.

Thanks Lee i still have all the standard parts bar bumpers,turbos and wheels. Im still not sure about selling so not going to start switching parts yet but know what you mean about modded Pork. I think the way my car has been done with quality parts and not too in your face may help.

Kev to be honest mate im not too sure , thinking of going down to one car some just something decent and sensible. May look into buying a flat to rent out, must be getting old and boring or something . On the other hand i may buy the turbos my mate is selling and put it up to nearer 800bhp, this is why ive decided to put it upforsale just now before it gets stupid.

Carlo i would never go as far with another cosworth as i did before, unless it was something crazy built by Andy. Just dont do enough car stuff these days to justify having 40K sitting in the garage to use when its nice out.

I know what you mean mate but a proper mint escos would be better suited in your garage nothing too crazy

Cheers Andy
Its now looking exactly how i want it with the brakes and wheels just being done, and the ride and stance on the new suspension sets it off.

Epic car mate.

Love these but hate the interior compared to the 997.

Ironically i dont like the exterior looks of the 997 turbo, looks too overdone!

Looks Amazing Neil, I have never seen it on the road! hence the reason you are selling it due to lack of use! You will be back in an old cossie before you know it

Thanks Jon they realy are awsome cars , probably the best car i will ever own but as i said above I just dont use it enough so its a waste of a nice car.

Do you end up selling the Monte or just down spec it ?
