Beautiful! Can you also post photos of how you solve the coolant hose/fitting issue when you get there? Assuming the 996 has the same (potential) issue as the 997 GT3s that is...

OK folks it's been a few days since my last 996GT3 Engine build confession... With our recent move (see the story here) it's taken a bit of a back seat

James got the engine is all back in the car:



Dan also installed the SharkWerks FE kit since we're using 996GT3 European buckets:


The cup bumper is now working/fitted with our 997 GT3 Track Exhaust set up as well (yes it's loud!).


Put away for the night after having been run a little for break-in...



A couple of important changes before we take her out on the break-in drive and tuning session:



I have to say she sounds like no other 996GT3 that's for sure. Very 997GT3'ish with some extra mustard. Dan will post a video or so shortly but I figured you guys didn't want to see that
