Default I bought it exactly like that

I’m sure your car has 100% Porsche only including that ducktail headlight covers and red wheels and front wing
if it works for you enjoy
i bought the car that way. Maybe that’s why I got a bargain, 18k in January with 91k miles. All I have done to the car is mechanical stuff. Oil changes, fix the windows fit, replace one hose, clean the intake, remove carbon deposits from piston tops. I am not a purist and I like modified cars, anyway the car rides like a go cart and I’m super happy for it. I like it so much that I have driven it almost 7,500 miles in less than a year. Next 3.8 Carrera S airbox and fabspeed x pipe.

You will love the xpipe my car sounds EXOTIC and much racier sound then the muffler delete
Great deal on a nice looking car regardless of the add on’s if you enjoy your car as much as I’m enjoying mine your in great company
I bought mine and it didn’t need a thing the previous owner loved and drove it with lots of gusto
I didn’t appreciate the attacks on other cars
my only pet peeve is when people swap out Porsche engine for American muscle but I feel that way about anyone going outside of the their brand engines
im slowly and costly returning my car back to stock as the last 2 costliest items are the 996.1 AERO front/rear bumper covers until then the car will be loved and driven with gusto
have a happy new year enjoy the revs

i met a guy that has a Porsche shop thru cars and coffees. Anyway he bores out the throttle and puts a bigger plate in it. I’m leaning to do that after the x pipe and box. I did that to my vr6 corrado and it really showed 5hp on the dyno. Merry Christmas.

That 360 Modena reminds me of working on an early Countach, but at least the output shaft doesn't run through the oil pan or the diff doesn't share the same oil.

Default Cars and cocktails tomball Texas (Houston).

Awesome time with Luis and Alfredo at cars and cocktails. Unbelievable cars. This corvette is out if this world.

We P guys stick together.

Alfredos 02 is to die for, best ever looking paint I seen on a 996 .

Luis 1986 Blue, unbelievable color hints of purple and silver, awesome classic.

Cool GT3, but that blue R8 V10 gatted manual is to die for.



Overkill, 2350 hp corvette, 7.5 quarter mile car , unbelievable sound. Boys with Toys. Street legal to top it off.

Cleaned the snow off of her, then shoveled the driveway and turning apron, then shoveled about a 1/4 mile down to the street after which I took her out for about a 35 mile drive. A fair amount of compact snow and slipperiness, not much has been plowed or sanded yet. We had between 4 - 6 inches of snow last night and this morning. The Carrera did great, she just got a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4+ All Seasons and they did great!


Help me! I'm cold!

The driveway and turning apron.

About 2/3s of the way down.

Back home safe and sound and happy!

360 Modena Oil Change Procedure: Step 1. Remove rear of vehicle
That's an F50... quite a bit different


Most 360 work can be done with the engine in the car. There's a panel behind the seats to access the front of the engine

I had a driveway like that when we lived in Maine. However, I was in between Porsches then.....preferring Jeeps.

Just used it to pick up this Thule Atlantis off Craigslist. Best $40 I have spent in many years….

My 16 yr old granddaughter got her first drive behind the wheel of a 996. Too chilly to drop the top.

Installed a Christmas gift from the wife. A function first shift ****. HUGE improvement over stock, but the aluminum sure does feel cold in a northern Utah winter
