Jackzi said:Sorry, just re-read and saw you bought end of May this year.
I reckon you've done well.
Jackzi said:That's a good list of work done.
The one I'm looking at has had new pads and discs, a new clutch, water pump, exhaust (aftermarket), recent service and the LN bearing fitted. It'll need a couple of rear tyres and eventually a set of front shocks and coffin arms. But that's in the future, hopefully. I'd probably do the condensers as well.
I'm not going to think about the roof though at this point :?:
Just going to have to keep my fingers crossed there.
Jackzi said:Cheers for your replies. And thanks for the kind words about the bike films.
I'll actually be making the next one on the RD350, so I'll post that when it's done later this summer.
A film about the history of the 996 is in the works, the spanner in it being actually finding one to own beforehand.
It does seem like 15k doesn't go that far, you're right. It's good for those who've already got one but not great for those of us trying to get back into one. I might get some flack for this, but I'm not convinced a 'regular' 996 (non C4S, etc.) is a 20k car.
A targa would be ideal, as I find the driving experience unique, even with the roof closed.
I took a drive in a C4 that was reasonably priced with reasonable mileage, but it was a tip. I don't know if I wasn't driving it right, but the torque converter doesn't seem to suit the car that well.
Is a borescope really necessary? I know it's only another 100 or so on top of a full PPI, but as far as I can tell it's more of an issue on the 997 3.8.
Should I bite the bullet and be happy with 2 pedals? Or even go for a Cayman S instead?
Decisions, decisions...
