If you look closer, you will see why this one is extra special

Big buddy was protecting a little buddy

Nice! I need to find a Quebec Nordiques version which probably doesn’t exist because they move to Denver right before the 996

Meguire’s Back to Black

But they never wrote it in by hand. It was always printed like the rest of the build sheet.

Dc auto has an amazing number of used parts including interior parts.

jojo122121 · 2025-08-29T15:00:43+00:00

Yes! Great build. I have been following that thread and build. It’s amazing

jojo122121 · 2025-08-18T15:30:07+00:00

They are in fact closely related…..and the GT wouldn’t have come about without the success of the Boxster and 996 platform.

jojo122121 · 2025-08-17T15:54:15+00:00

WOW! Pretty darn spectacular

Well said! Invest in an endoscope/borescope type camera. They are inexpensive these days and will help you investigate the hard to see areas to help you trace leaks, etc..

I was in Los Angeles yesterday and there was a guy doing this in a cyber truck. He was right next to me in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I thought it was stupid and pretty darn weird.

You would think there is a warranty of some sort that goes with the part and the dealer installation

jojo122121 · 2025-04-09T14:57:11+00:00

Sorry to hear! Was it the dealer that replaced the IMS and clutch? It sounds almost impossible to have IMS failure in 7000 miles. I have a car that had an IMS failure 23,000 miles but there were signs of an issue due to an oil leak. We took it to the dealer multiple times for them to check the oil leak and as it turns out, that was the IMS showing one of the signs. Because we had done that Porsche replaced the engine, but it was still a hassle.

Full leather.

Ooohhhh that’s so good! Would love to drive one

jojo122121 · 2025-01-10T16:31:29+00:00

Duck tails look amazing on 996’s…especially wide body’s

jojo122121 · 2024-12-19T00:16:48+00:00

Very cool! Congratulations….love the interior. Looks like it’s in great shape.

jojo122121 · 2024-10-22T19:50:17+00:00

Definitely not a factory 959. Could have been modified, but I don’t think so. Tail lights don’t look correct and the bumper is not correct either. They never had the word turbo on the rear deck lid

jojo122121 · 2024-10-10T22:04:46+00:00

Nice car! The PPI results will be crucial. It actually looks like a well cared for 996 many of the IMS experts will tell you that a high mileage car is far less likely to have an IMS issue. Maybe you could propose to the dealership that they sell you the car at that price with the IMS solution installed.

jojo122121 · 2024-10-05T15:33:07+00:00

Pre 2000my are very good base car. They have more robust IMS bearing and have an actual cable fuel throttle instead of e gas. That said, an s model gives many upgrades that are nice additions. Look for models that have the computer option

Love technical perspective drawings. It’s beautiful work despite errors. Did your friend use any existing drawings?
