All new bits on a car with a lightweight single mass flywheel and no load whatsoever. The clutch hasn't gotten hot yet and since it's in the air it sounds a 996 Cup car with a tiny clutch because there's no side load on the axles so it sounds all loosey goosey and chatters.

Wiring is all finished. Need to sew up everything and put the interior back together. It poured all afternoon here and the roads are damp; despite the owner's repeated instruction I will not bring myself to do donuts in this thing! Road test scheduled for mid-week. Car will ship once final part comes in.

Is there a rough estimate of the cost in parts and labor and time to this process? This has the potential to be less expensive than trying to buy a 997 RS 4.0 and just as much (if not more) fun to drive.

feel free to contact John @ BGBmotorsportsgroup, he can fill you in and give you a better idea. Less expensive absolutely with the 997 4.0's going for high 400k. More fun?? We will see, I love the 997 platform but I'm sure this car will be incredible for sure.

Happy day seeing the car alive and moving!! Sounds amazing too!! Smiling guy over here. 😃

I stand and by saying that this is how it should have left the factory! Loud and gnarly with a manual.
This is Porsche to me and how I've envisioned 911's growing up.
Long live the manual. 👌
