Default Wheeler Dealers does an episode on Porsche 997

What's weird is it's a base 2006 997 with Tiptronic and appears to have PCCBs

Those are just regular base model calipers painted yellow. The real PCCB setup won't fit behind 18in wheels.

Haven’t watched it too much since Ed China left. I guess Ant’s gone now too.

agree they are not PCCB's - steel cross drilled rotors are very visible.
But unless something changed on the .2 cars the real PCCB setup should fit?? I have a 2009 on 18 inch wheels with PCCB's from the factory but admittedly don't know much about these fitting on .1 cars.

Ed was the best.

Sad that the partnership between Ed and Mike went south.

Mike needs to take off about 100 lbs...

There is a 2006 at Porsche Colorado Springs with PCCBs. but it has 19" wheels.

Agree, I really liked Ed. I was going to ask if Mike ate Ant, but decided to keep it clean. But since you brought it up….

You guys are funny. All the side comments re Ed, Ant, Mike and yellow PCCbs fitting 18 inch wheels but no comments about the unrealistic low cost rebuild, mods and final sale price. Then again, its obvious / assumed to take these shows with a grain of salt...

But thanks for posting - good watch

You didn't buy a Porsche at a track day with a handwritten 'For Sale' sign on it?

It's where you find all the best deals!!

@Ironman88 @997.2GTS @frybear and any other Edd China fans...
I was a huge fan of the original wheeler dealers (because of Edd)
If you haven't already subscribed you really need to see his new show - absolutely brilliantly filmed and pure Edd doing what he does best.

and please share his channel with anyone and everyone who's a car fan - no affiliation, just love sharing great content.
