Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well, a quick introduction I just got my 991 GT3 last week, so far in love with the car. Its my 1st Porsche, was between this and a BMW M6 Gran Coupe. In my country of Saudi Arabia, the dealer never ordered any GT3's. Only Carrera S/4S, & Tubros. Only GT3's in the country are the ones ordered by the clients themselves. So its safe to say the GT3 is rare in Saudi, I couldn't find any for sale, and the dealer couldn't order me any so I got one from Dubai.

Here are the plans for the car:
-Wheels to be painted gloss black.
-Car to be fully wrapped in another color.
-Carbon bits for the interior & exterior.
-Centerlock aftermarket forged wheels (recommend a style)
-Exhaust ( still deciding on which to get, recommendations?)

Before we go into the photos, I'd like to share pictures of my last project car. my 2008 Audi S5, this was my car when I was in the states. It had a complete makeover done a few times as seen below.



















& now we move on to the GT3, got a few questions before we move onto the photos.

-I have PCM, plugged my iphone 6 via bluetooth for calls. How come when I watch a video or get a text message on my phone I cant hear any sound? how can this be fixed?
-Dealer says to fill oil the car needs to be there for a full day, what oil can I use to fill up the car and how much do I put in if my oil level is on minimum?
-can anyone direct me into a direction where I can get an aftermarket rear view camera/ sensors?

& now finally the photos.














Will keep the thread updated.

Kind Regards,

 

Congrats on moving to a great track car. Enjoy!

I use Mobil 1 5W-50 for topping off. Would use 500ml if you're at minimum, then add in 250ml aliquots if more needed after rechecking level ... the oil measuring system in the GT3 appears quite sensitive, particularly at the upper end of the scale, and I found it easy to overfill my GT3.

As to Bluetooth for your iPhone, you'll need your dealer to assist. Many of the 2014s came without the needed software/hardware for iPhone use, but think this is much less common with the 2015s. My own 2014 GT3 needed software/parts ordered from Germany before it worked with my iPhone 5.

 

Congrats on your new toy. Welcome aboard.

 

Bader...........congrats on the GT3!

 

Bader congrats on GT3. I know your cousin (I think) from Boston days. I studied in Northeastern and also had the S5 there. (the one with the awe exhaust)
Anyways congrats on the GT3. I got mine a couple of months ago, and first thing I did was get the sharkwerks exhaust. Can't emphasize how happy I am with it.
I am also back and forth in Jeddah so let me know when you are there.

 

Great advice
I have a brand new SW bypass here in Bahrain that I bought for my car but sold the car before it was installed.
Let me know if interested

haha small world! I did have a brother and some cousins in boston but that was 10 years ago, i was the only one from my fam there between 08-14. Who did you meet? I'm based in Jeddah and will be back next week, is your GT3 in Jeddah? Thanks for the warm welcome.

Sounds good, will keep you posted.

Thanks guys!

Thanks, my blue tooth works fine for calls. My only question was that when my phone is plugged via blue tooth, if I get a text message or view a video on my phone no sound comes from the phone itself.

 

We were wondering what happened to you! Nice upgrade.

 

Congrats on the car. For the audio you have to change the source to be blue tooth on the PCM. This will play the audio of video or music. For text alerts, those should come across via the phone interface. I think there's a setting under phone, but I could be wrong. Would have to check my car. But I do get a ding when I get a text and I'm listening to the jukebox.

 

I was there between 08 and 11 as well. My GT3 is now in LEB for the summer. If you come here let me know.. She will be back in Jeddah after summer.

 

so this happened....

while under progress:




final product (metallic gloss blue wrap with door jams, gloss black wheels, light tint)




also I might of went a bit overboard ( the 21" rears and gold finish have been changed to 20" and gloss black)




Will keep you guys posted whenever I have updates.

 

So you dropped the side mufflers with the Akra Sports Cup exhaust? Would be very interested in a video to hear what it sounds like.

 

That list looks amazing. I didn't even know some of that stuff existed.

 

Thanks guys, will do a video of the exhaust.

the shop i'm sending my car to know their porsches very well and were able to get me cf mirrors, front lip, sides, and rear diffuser.

 

I would like to get the front lip, sides and rear diffuser...
