Project Update | Upgrades, modifications & Running Costs | Porsche 996 986 987 997 911 GT3 

Great to see the 996 develop over time, Its come a long way since I saw it a year ago.

Very glad to see you back! The car is still fantastic of course.

Thanks for the update, your a true Porsche fanatic! 😀👍 The wheels look great and the decals add a nice styling to the car.

Thanks for the update love your build and detailed tracking 🙏

Good to see a video from you in my subscriber feed. Look forward to watching it 👍🏻 Happy New Year

Thank you for producing this great content.

Just came across your channel, great video!

A great summary of the madness some of us are afflicted with! Your videos have helped inspire me to do some of the mods, including the centre console delete (love it) and changing the exhaust (stock is just too quiet), and the Continental radio is in my plans. I've also done the RSS semisolid engine mounts and that's the one mod I'm less happy with -- there's some noticeable NVH around 2800-3000rpm that's not an issue on a good drive but annoying for everyday use. Thanks for the update and hope to see more videos soon

I enjoyed that, thank you and it’s given me some ideas. Just doing my own bits to my 996 and have just added lowering springs and 15mm spacers all round and a x74 geo. Loving the new stance. Keep the videos coming 👍

Fantastic rundown of everything - a great roadmap for tweaking my own 996.1 aero!

Great update man. Gotta love the half cage🙂 I got a rennline towhook too just so I could put the GoPro on it hehe

I’ve been waiting for a video!!!

The car is gorgeous.

AWESOME

'I'll start here cos Im touching it'. Me too buddy. Keep these coming!

Nice job Rob.

Good video....I like that you are honest about the costs and the usefulness or otherwise of the mods, and also the weight saving as I've got a C4s so want to reduce the weight....also the other 'how to' vids are really helpful....

Nice vid and great info as always.. My 996.1 Aero-kit has some similar touches... and glad you like the eccentric spacer, my name is Tom!

great to see you back, looking well. I've done the steering wheel, the exhausts, the gear knob and about to do the engine mounts except I've gone of design 911's own semi solid ones..and a full engine and suspension rebuild as I had limited service history!

Great run through of the mods & costs. I've got GT3 seats & the Equipment cage so did the 'rear floor mat delete' mod too, great to know i removed 800g! :-D

Very nice...

Get yourself a K&N intake. The sound is so worth it! And on road tests watching the IAT signal show no increase in intake air temps. That induction noise brings the car to life!

Great Video Rob. Very inspiring and some great 'trick' bit'n bobs' to seek out. I've already removed my redundant 6 cd changer and looking to delete the rear wiper in quest of weight reduction. My 996 c4 is a minter like yours and I'm happy to do these mods asI love it. All the best.

Welldone with the channel rob very interesting topics that you have covered well , some i plan to do myself. Hope to see your car in the flesh one day ! If you ever go to a porsche meet let the masses know 👍🤗

Great rundown mate, but blimey, I’ve never seen a bloke drink a pint slower than you did that one.

Great video! A 996 in white is awesome! Always nice to hear what’s in other Porsche fans minds 😅 Got a C2 3.6 manual myself since a month. I am trying hard not to indulge myself in too many mods. Planning to keep it original, besides the Ohlins r/t installed that made a great car totally amazing😊 Totally agree with keeping the brakes quite stock will suffice even on track. Put on race/sports pads and racing fluid and u r good to go. Tracked my previous Cayman S several times and proper brake skills out do bigger brakes any day.

Great video very informative I’m hoping to get my first Porsche 996 c2 cab tip, this year I know not everyone likes autos but I’m lazy wagon driver that changes gear enough already

I know you said in another video. But where did you get the decals from. They look good. I want some made for my blk car.

Did you get the Porsche door decals from Zen As well as the engine cover one.

Nice to see you and the car again! Btw your wife will still hear that " few thousand pounds " mate. Car is a really nice example. Only difference i would have done is a original 911 badge in silver vs that large decal at the back.

Another great video, very informative. Now what was the price of the cage....I'm sure you mumbled it 🤔😁

Great video. You so remind me of myself with my car addiction! I am in New Hampshire USA. I have a 2005 996 c4s. Your car looks great and you are very tasteful with your modifications. Nicely done! I think I will go for the custom wheels at some point. I don't mean to be one of those that tells people they do things wrong just wanted to tell you about the solid engine mounts. Lots swear by those so I am sure they improve the car. In the us we have flat 6 innovations who is like Hartech, top knotchengine builders. They have videos that show a car dyno runs before and after solid engine mounts and you can see how it robs power at the higher revs from the timing reduction. I can share the video if you would like to see. Doesn't matter though. If you like them that is all that matters! I am actually getting my motor built this winter by flat 6 to a 4.0L. They do head work balancing and lots more. Point being, I know all about spending lots on mods! Keep up the great videos and good work! Take care.

Great video, looks awesome in white, were the old wheels 996 gt3.2? Did you sell them, if not I might be interested?? Cheers

Hi Rob, good to see you’re back fella 👍 What’s your viewpoint on the short shift kits available? There’s your run of the mill £70 versions in the blue anodised finish ( not that you see that!) and then the Numex I think it is, replacement mech for about £500 You seem to have good opinions on the rest of the car, so I’m interested in your perspective chap please
