What did you buy your 996 this week......?

[jimmy p]

They keep most suspension parts in stock, imagine shocks u would have to sort out in advance

 

[Marky911]

:yeah:

Nice bit of shopping that. The daft thing is they are cheaper from Porsche, brand new, than most jokers list them on eBay for second hand.

Did you pay about £900 BHZ?

It was £606 + VAT very happy with the price 😀

Wow, great price.
Is that the one without any cross bars, so full access to rear?

No cross bars , so rear seats still useable

Excellent. That's what I'll go for I think. I want bucket seats later as they transform the feel of a car, but not harnesses as I don't do track work.

I don't have kids to fit in but I do like luggage space. My GT3 was hopeless for luggage so I'm definitely not going to restrict rear access as much as that.
Great price. There's one on eBay for £1500. Like I say, jokers. :grin:

What does a wheel re-trim cost if you don't mind me asking? I've been contemplating getting my one done in alcantara with red stitching along with the gear stick boot.

 

[grbspeedster]

Around £140 depending on spec. I went for thicker rim,smooth leather top and bottom, perforated leather sides .
My pal had his done in red and black to match seats. He took to another company to install the switches as Royal don't do this, they commented that the recovering was in their words superb
Tom on here had his done in alcantara I believe

Not sure what you want a pic of, tried a pic of interior and couldn't really get a decent pic. I'l assume you meant pics of the bulbs and see above for that

Hello....

Just purchased myself a set of the topgear valvetronic exhaust back boxes for my 996.1 :thumbs:

Heard them on YouTube and sound lovely !!! Can't wait to get them fitted :lol:

 

[Marky911]

^^^^^^

I've just adopted a set of gundo hacked Dansk boxes.
Him above doesn't know it yet but they're the ones on his car.
:grin:

Afternoon bud. I hope I can "try before I buy", oh and "pay after I sell"
...my standard Dansks.

Those switchable ones will sound great. I knew you wouldn't stop until you were happy.


Dammit

I'm well jell. :mrgreen:
Where'd you find that factory 996 cup holder?

 

[Diggermeister]

Bought nothing, saved a good few quid getting one of our workshop fabricators to patch a crack in the not inexpensive stainless 'zorst manifold.
