I have been told that te stock porsche hose clamps can be a weak link in a car that is going to be raced. And you can't win a race unless you finish it. So I was wondering if many of you who have built a 996 have gone and replaced most or all of your hose clamps? And what you replaced them with?

I raced mine for four years and never had a issue with hose clamps.

Thanks Jim, that is good news. I was hoping you would chime in on this since you built a pretty crazy one.

On the other hand, I did have the shifter cables pop off the tranny. Safety wire them on.

Holy cow John your car looks amazing in your avatar! What a difference from the last time I saw it.

How about some more pictures?

I guess I fooled another person...

That is not my car, it's a model of a gt3rs that I have been modding and working on in maya (3d software) so that I can animate it, driver and all. It's a personal project I have been working on in what little spare time I have.

Although, the real car has gone through a major transformation this summer:

Ok you got me. Still, no reason not to make your car look like that eh?

Cage looks good!

Safety wire EVERYTHING -- sorry, its habit forming... Even the Wiggins, which werent done as of the time this picture was taken.

Jim,
What other issues did you run across while building your car? There is only 1 other 996 racing out here, but he did not build it, so I don't have too much input from people who have gone through what I am doing now.
