Tackled this today. More work than I expected. Hacked the inserts so that the upper carrier nuts will clear. Perhaps these were the correct pieces for the car or I am doing something wrong. I believe the implementation maintains the original functionality/design. They did come with the car with a bag of spare parts.







Porsche pink coolant with Purified H2O

 

Driver’s side was missing picked a new one from Pelican Parts next door on the way home.

Already had the passenger side one mounting clamp was broken. Picked that up from Pelican too.

 

Old picture but here he is Mr.Rosso. “Press Kit” spec. Rosso Scuderia, factory stripes, red Alcantara sport seats.

 

Congrats!!!!!!

 

Well done. Definitely the way to spec a CS!

 

Incredible!

 

Thank you all!

He’s loaded on the truck today and should be home when I get back from Vegas.

@ScottArizona , this one, as we both like and appreciate, is NOT a no-story car.

 

Beautiful car. Congrats!



Manual convert it, convert it… 😈

 

@Sirenty thank you! If someday the 996 GT3 does sell and I end up with only one toy I might do the conversion. However I think I will always have a 996 GT3 variant - Miss Bee will do but the RS is calling

 

So this is what dreams are made of… congrats!!!

 

Had 2 transporters today. First one took Beryl away to her new home.

This one had the CS.

Wife renamed him “Vegas”.

Had a couple of minor dings.

Already took the CF door cards out for the PDR.


PDR

All Good

Oil Change. Liqui Moly 5W40

1st drive.

Reinstalling the door card.

 

Replacement bracket for the one that broke (mounting tab)

New fuel filter


Existing throttle body

997 GT3 Theottle Body - needed for the GT3 KN Airbox

 

Busy weekend, Cayenne Oil change, Mr. Monaco’s (yes wife renamed him yet again- says he feels like a racecar versus flashy like Vegas) oil change, and doorcard reinstall and one paint chip work, Miss Bee’s KN 997 GT3 Airbox install.

Took the long weekend to get Miss Bee off the stilts since I’ll have to drive her to work more since the 500E is gone. Went for a quick test drive.

Car drove like a champ, fast, strong, seems to sound better and run cooler, The acceleration from stop seems smoother too.

Lastly tightening the loose camber plate fastener definitely helped-didn’t have any loud banging like a piano fell on the car sounds- yet.

Update: nope something is still off. Strut mount bearing , maybe shocks themselves or sway bar bushings?



Chevron Fuel cleaner and a few gallons of gas

997 GT3 KN Airbox. Tape is temporary the 997 GT3 pipe is on back order so I used the one from the 996 GT3.



Back in the garage with “Mr. Monaco”.

I think I’ll rename him back to “Vegas””.

 

Large box arrived. Clubsport Carpet.







Also added a can of Ceratec this weekend.

 

What's the difference between clubsport and non clubsport carpet besides the holes?
