Clean carfax and title
4th owners including me per CARFAX, but was told I was the 3rd.

After a clean bill of health from a PPI by Heyer Performance in the Bay Area, I bought this 911 in original condition. I then had Heyer replace the IMS, RMS, AOS, clutch, flywheel and battery then shipped it to Chicago directly to Fisher Motors in Barrington, IL. They handled the modifications listed below and then it went to A&L Autobody and had the minor body work. All these shops mentioned are highly regarded by their respective local Porsche communities. A&L Autobody also serves a lot of the Windy City BMWCCA folks. I truly thought I would have this car forever which is why I invested so much into it. While getting it serviced this month with an oil change and fresh ATE Type 200 brake fluid (April 2018) I had Fisher perform a PPI, which I will provide. After replacing the oil pressure sensor they car had a completely clean bill of heath.

Feel free to call Tony at Heyer Performance 650-962-0930 or Rick at Fisher 847-304-8822

Paintwork/Bodywork
Previous accidentally bumped into the car port on the right front side, panicked a bit and quickly reversed into the opposite side/corner. This damaged both bumpers and the wheel well liner. There were also some scratches to the passenger door where it meets the rear quarter. I had all this repaired once it arrived back here and do have pictures of the damages prior to being repaired.

It does have two chips in the windshield, which I have never gotten around to repairing.
Also a small scratch on the drivers side rocker panel.

This is my 2nd 40th AE and I absolutely love these cars. I regretting selling my first and will most likely regret selling this one. I did all the mods without any concern about resale value because I really thought I would have this one a long time. I built if for me and around my tastes. A car that was nice, but not exactly pristine like my first one.

Will come with all the OEM parts – seats, suspension bits and the rear wiper.

So why I am selling - despite it not being a garage queen, I primarily drove it to work on sunny days and then weekend drives with my wife and daughter. I put less than 2000 miles on it in 2017. Two major changes for 2018. I moved our office 6 miles away from my home and we are expecting twins this spring. With that I know it will see even less miles than it has this past year and I do not want it just sitting around.

Back to the car - coilovers are simply one of the best upgrades you can do to a 996. Transforms the ride and certainly improves the handling. The GT3 control arms were added to try to get rid of some of the understeer that comes standard with most 911's. Rick, the owner of Fisher Motors, did an amazing job on setting the car up for me great for canyons or track, but also be very compliant and controlled over rough surfaces. Turn in is excellent and it rotates beautifully.

I assume most would prefer the stock seats, however, I think the 997 GT3 seats make a huge difference so leaving them until the end of April in case someone wants them. They can be swapped out in less than a day.

Thank you for reading this mini novel and I will be adding and editing along the way. Not my best ad, however, with work travel and changes going on at home to prepare for twins, life is a bit crazy. Either way feel free to ask questions!

nice car, do you like the Fister exhaust, had you considered others? neighbors upset about the noise? I understand you will be posting additional pictures, these pics show a rear window wiper, and the IMS was it LN engineering? Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the question. Love the Fister exhaust! I am respectful of my neighbors so this is perfect for that. It's very quiet on start up and idle. It really doesn't sound dramatically different until you are higher up in the RPM's. It's mostly perfect and people who are outside the car think it sounds awesome. I would love a little more intake sound, but modifications to do that seem pretty controversial around these parts. ;-) that picture with the rear wiper was from fall. It actually is warming up and I might be able to wash the car in the next few days and take some better shots. So not bringing it to the shop yet, which is also due to the salt that is still all over the roads. yes, an LN bearing. Thanks again.

Back up for sale again. Had a buyer but got cold feet and backed out before he flew her to see it, but it really does need a new home. I'm simply not going to be in a situation to use it.

I put PSS10s on my 40th and while I liked the MO30 factory sport suspension the Coil Overs allow for the correct ride height and with the adjustability of the PSS10s you have a great range of options to boot.

Great car. The X51 with LSD and these mods make for a really nice car. Like the mods.

Good luck with the sale.
