Working from memory:
-- Stock engine with upgraded IMS, deep sump, X51 headers. semi-solid mounts, 3rd (center) radiator
-- Ohlins remote reservoir dampers, GT3 LCAs, GT3 swaybars, Tarett links, camber plates
-- Calipers from a PCCB / GT3 with DeMans own GT3 rotors + Pagid pads, GT3 master cylinder
-- Fire suppression system
-- Recaro Halo driver; Recaro Profi SPG XL passenger seat with Schroth harnesses
-- Fully caged
-- Forgeline wheels with Hoosier R7s and another set with Hoosier H2Os
Minor changes to get into Spec 996 but should be good for PCA H-class (I think). For now, it's a DE car until I get a good handle on it (I haven't had it out yet).

That is a perty one newblue!
Congrats
I'm a first time owner (less than a year old with mine) and having a ball at 52 years old! I visited a beautiful Porsche only repair shop today for some parts I purchased and the owner gave me an informational tour as well as some great advice on 996's: "You bought one of the best cars for performance and price, drive it. Don't be afraid to run it through the gears at high rpms. That's what these cars are designed for and they will last."
I love mine and you will love yours!!!!!!!! and I ain't gonna baby it either (but not race it...…….intentionally,lol )

Thanks for your interest! I didn't spec the car. It was essentially already built from DeMan's parts bin, but he has a pretty top spec parts bin.

-- Ohlins remote reservoir dampers, GT3 LCAs, GT3 swaybars, Tarett links, camber plates
