Evening Chaps,

Should be picking up a 996 mk1 GT3 this week for track duties, couldn't quite stretch to a club sport sadly but does have tequipment cage fitted from new (according to receipts) also has GT2 front brakes and Alcon discs (fitted by OPC from Early life). I have my own seat to go in from my turbo, would loving original units but too much for me when I already have a comfy bucket, to go in.

Masses of receipts for work done over the years so fingers crossed minimal issues should arise.

Just thought I would check in and also is there any recommendations/must haves for the mk1's other than regular fluid changes and lots of tyres :thumbs:

She will never be a garage queen and can't wait to get first track day book!

Sounds utterly fabulous!

Any pics? Even from the seller if you haven't picked her up yet?

Well I haven't but it was just featured in EVO magazine for new v old feature. Aston Parrott has some shots on his instagram.

I will get some up as soon as I get my grubby mits on her!

Some point next week, bloody work getting in the way :frustrated:

Turbo is staying..... unless the wife is reading this then the one I like least will be sold in due course....... due course being when I die...... which again if she is reading this could be soon......
 
What a fantastic combo, same engine at their core but everything else so different, what a fascinating prospect, hope you post your experiences. A mk1 with uprated brakes, what's not to like :thumb:
 
Excellent, good work and welcome to the club! Whereabouts are you based?
 
I am down in Poole, Dorset shire. Land of the motorway free county. Which sounds great until you actually have to get somewhere 😂
