Interesting to learn those front wheel arch scoops double the down force. I'm surprised we don't this this on other 911's are a mod by racers.

Ive taken on another Porsche, 01 996TT, NZ New done 65kms, im the third owner. Spoke at length with the seller who has a couple of other Porsche's, has full dealer history which made me comfortable enough to buy sight unseen. Overall im pretty happy with what came through. Ive read someone on here about coolant pipes needing doing? Any advice from from owners or previous owners would be appreciated, cheers

edit: It's a tip, now I can't get the wife out of it.

John McM

Good one Pel. My car had 100,000 kms on top of that and was still strong in the motor and gearbox so you should be good there.

The coolant pipes are a known issue with this model and the same vintage GT3. I had one pipe go on the track. Walter has had two incidents, one on the track and one on the motorway. When they go you get a complete loss of coolant. If you stop the car straight away there will be no damage except a tow and repair bill. Your car will smell like maple syrup for a while. The alternative is to get the pipes pinned. Walter had that done. If going for long trips I would either have good breakdown insurance or just get them pinned as a precaution.

Drive it in good health.

Btw not to be sexist but my wife seemed to have a spatial awareness lapse ocassionaly and hit the left rear tyre on kerbs etc. you might want to make sure she knows it's a challenging part of driving these machines in the burbs.

the red 991 GT3 at armstongs is gone and a 993 turbo has popped up in its place

so which one of you was it?

Pel

Thanks John will arrange to have the pipes pinned. Shes already given the front lip the obligatory driveway scrape.

John McM

I think that's a good idea. Losing coolant a long way from home isn't much fun. CCS did Walters.

If your wife continues to scrape the front lip, I have a spare. Not as new condition by any stretch of the imagination but not as bad as some I've seen.$150 takes it off my hands. I also have a spare new tiptronic button.

Now I don't know any better but that plate looks familiar. Was this once Arena red?

That's a good colour for a 996TT Pel
