Regarding the IG post- You know this is just a filter, right?
I think video games are sometimes real. Thanks for that clarification.

This white .2 GT3 that was up on BaT at the end of last year is back up for sale again. $172k is exactly what he paid for it including the $5k BaT fee.

Not the first time this same owner is trying to sell. He was pretty “special” in my prior interactions with him.

Weird how he just bought it off BAT for $172k with fees, then tries to sell it off. Maybe bought into the hype and realized, damn I miss my cup holders and quiet interiors.

Hey Gang. Posting my 2011 997.2 GT3 here - and only here - since I just secured a 7.2 RS privately and have an old F-Car coming this summer. This GT3 has been in my care for two years and I bought it from another RL member who took exceptional care of it as well. I've got service records going back a decade in my filing cabinet and she's up to date on everything. Currently just over 22,000 miles (I've done 8,000 since buying the car). $205,000.

A few key points:
Nav
D.E.M.
Front axle lift
Carbon folding buckets

OEM+ Modifications:
RS 4.0 clutch and flywheel
Built cam actuators
Guard LSD internals
Pinned coolant lines

5-lug conversion with 2 sets of wheels
19” Forgeline GA1R (black gloss) with brand new Michelin 4S & new TPMS
18” Forgeline GA3R (grey w/polished step lip) with old Nitto NT-01 (Nitto need to be replaced)
996 Cup shifter cables
RS4.0 steering wheel
RSS rollbar with red Schroth 6 point harnesses (not mounted)
RSS center delete and Fabspeed side deletes, still have all stock parts
Metal pedals with extender for heel toe (SRP racing)
RSS Rear bump-steer kit

Last year Porsche North Houston put on a full set of OEM brake discs and pads, replaced the coolant expansion tank, and took care of a couple of interior rattles. Have a set of AP Racing J-Hook discs in a box to go with the car.

Car needs fresh PPF on the hips and the hood, but otherwise good in that department. The car will sell when the right RL enthusiast comes along. I really don't want it to go on BAT because I feel like it would end up at some ****ty dealer and then no one would drive it. I'm happy to answer questions and provide more pictures and information. I didn't post many pics here, deliberately. But, its probably best to do that over DM or text, so we don't clutter this thread. Car is in the Woodlands Texas (north of Houston) but can be picked up or shipped anywhere.

Thanks all. This has been the best enthusiast community I've been a part of in the last 25 years. I'm glad I'm not going anywhere.

An easy fix and it looks like all the hardware is in place.

You are correct. The belts were moved in a recent dealer visit. That interior pic was before, but it's the only one I had of the inside.

Heavily modified .2 GT3 RS, 19k miles, no reserve
Seller must be sweating bullets as they were asking $325k on their site. Only at $140k with a day to go. Ballsy move to have gone at no reserve and IMO not a wise decision with this particular car. Someone may get a really good buy, but this is BaT so who knows.

Yeah talk about not understanding the market/place. I think swapping the original wing back on would make it much more appealing to the broader audience.

More importantly I wonder if anyone noticed and if it's any sort of a ticking time bomb but those gauges aren't reading the healthiest stats. Maybe I'm just not versed enough as I've only had 2 GT cars and both had needle numbers similar to each other and not this this BAT car.

Oil pressure looks to be very low at idle. Temp looks a bit on the high side. granted he's not putting around town but just food for discussion.

Also, if anyone needs eyes on it, Im heading down to that neck of the woods today and tomorrow to visit pops so if anyone wants a set of eyes on it.... dm me.

Its registered in Montana and its a Thermal owner, my guess is the only reason to set no-reserve is because the owner is cleaning up stragglers in his garage and took convenience over money.

Holy cow, no reserve. Didn't catch that part. Hope someone gets a steal of a price.

Didn’t watch the full interior driving/walk around video. Since you pointed it out when he comes to a stop the oil pressure drops to only 0.5 bar sometimes looks a little below that. In the up close pictures of the gauges the oil pressure is what I expect to see when warm at idle. When I look at my cars they usually are between 1 and 2 bar when warm at a idle.
