Hi Rob & Chris. This looks like a 996 tiptronic which has had a 997 gt3 conversion. Careful what you spend on it as modified 996 sometimes Ho for less than original ones even though it looks great! We had flashing transmission dash lights along with erratic gear changes. If this what is happening to yours the fix was a new multi plug which controls gear selection. It’s plug and play on the drivers side of the gearbox. Only option I could find was from Porsche but not too bad at about £250. Thank you for all your vids. Much appreciated.

@jimmyjt16 Год назад

I'd take off the spoiler and stickers and fit the original bumpers. It's no GT3. Looks like it's crashed backwards into Halfords.

@robholland1937 Год назад

@recruitmentwebsites Год назад

As you said it is not a GT3, it is a 996 with and aftermarlet body kit to make it look like a 997. The 996 was not well received whereas the 997 has icon status so its made it look better than a tired 996. Its not really GT3 replica as its has rear wing vents which are Turbo/GT2 items and the rear bumber has twin tailpipes GT3 has twin pipes in the centre and rear bumper has lower vents the GT3 does not have. It does have 997 Gen2 look rear lights which was a costly conversion. The front and rear bumpers are not replicas of GT3 they are their own look for the body kit this guy made, and the rear wing is not a 997 GT3 rear wing its more like the 997 GT3 RS. So its a bit of a parts bin 911 with aftermarket body kit but its still a 911 and that makes it worthwhile. The electics of a 996 to 997 light conversion was not a simple plug-and-play task, so be wise to look over all of its electrics. 997 turbos go for £100,000 to £200,000 as its had the rear wing turbo vents done, you could get a 997 turbo front and rear bumper boot lid and sell it for more as a 997 turbo replica than a GT3 replica. And sell those parts it has now to another 911 enthusiast. Great project to follow either way.

@BrownyNG8 Год назад

Coming from someone who works on these everyday… I Would definitely bore scope bank 2, cylinders 4,5,6 and check for scoring on the cylinders. 👍

@Porsche987 Год назад

It’s a 996 dressed up as a later 997. It would have come out of the factory with the ‘fried egg’ headlights so I’m guessing it’s had 997 wings fitted to accommodate the 997 lights. I’m pretty sure that the rear lights are 997 too. As a Porsche owner I can tell you that downsides for resale of this generation are the Tiptronic gearbox & the IMS (intermediate shaft) bearing, most buyers will want to be assured that this has been upgraded as a complete failure could result in a £10k engine rebuild. The later 997.2 resolved these issues so sell for much higher prices.

@simons4474 Год назад

Yeah it look weird doesn’t it.

@BenchRacerRC Год назад

Ask Porsche UK to investigate the VIN to get the original build spec, restore it back to a 911 GTS, its only a GT3 replica, its a bit like an mk4 Escort Eclipse done up to look like an XR3i at the minute. All Shane Lynch Motorsport ever did were bodykits and wheels on cars very little else, rarely touched anything mechanical.

@mrbagins3774 Год назад

Sorry boys that’s one to shift on, it’s all of £10k’s worth and being a 3.4 Tip it’s as bad as it’s gets.

@sparkyhobo3844 Год назад

See comment below!! (Paul Lewis), i couldn't of said it better myself! Being a car guy (Rob), and a Lambo owner you really surprised me with your comments on this project, its not really anything..... Just the kind of motor a young chav with cash would lash up. 'Trying to be a GT3' has got to make it worth less than the base car it started from....... and remember its just a torque converter box - with a manual over ride for shift, so the worse option they did..... Its a box of issues... possibly expensive..... and the list will grow im sure as you get further into it. The chap who moved it on probably had good reason......... Without good history, old 911s are a nightmare....

@robsharpe3236 Год назад

Looks like you have a 996 which has been made to look like a 997. They will have changed a lot of body work including new front wings, bonnet, front and rear lights, door mirrors, front and rear bumpers etc. You would be wise to check if these parts are genuine Porsche parts or cheap fibreglass / plastic copies!

@sruk Год назад

It won’t make any difference to us bud 👍

@SJR313 Год назад

A completely different vehicle for you guys. If it were mine, I’d de-chav it, get rid of the stickers, and picnic table rear spoiler, get some Porsche alloys on it and clean it up…IMHO…can’t wait to see what your plans are and of course when you crunch the numbers 👍

@peterthomason Год назад

Surely this wasnt loads of money. Its a pre facelift 3.4 996 with updated GT3 kit on it?

@burhanjavid1554 Год назад

Bought one of these off Shane lynch few years ago the fiber glass body kit on them is cheap and it cracks easily ... rear lights get water in them and build up of condensation as the engine is in the back . The front lights weren't wired in properly and didn't work right not to mention everything rattled and squeeked . Would never buy a conversion ever again .

@neilahendry Год назад

@colinrowe3940 Год назад

It needs a new battery. The alarm will go off with a low battery. It'll take care of a few of the other electrical gremlins too. Scan it and clear the codes after replacing the battery.

Hmmm, 996 PDK with 997 front end, mismatched tyres, dodgy graphics and nearly 100k miles which has been standing for 6 years. Hope you didn’t pay too much 🙂 get some decent wheels and tyres, replace GT3 graphic with Carrera graphic, remove spoiler and just have the ducktail. Tidy up inside and it will look miles better.

It really hasn't been converted into a GT3. Spoiler, wheels, side vents, seats, sunroof, steering wheel, interior (including rear seats it shouldn't have) are all wrong. 997 wings and lights on a 996. Engine, suspension, steering, brakes and gearbox are also different. Love you guys and the channel. Interested to see how it turns out.

@roadmantop3769 Год назад

Adjust the cables for the selecter under the centre console. The alarm goes off on these, if the battery has been off. you put the key p1 to disconnect the battery and the same to put a new battery on, service the tip tronic, you have a broken rod in the door handle, if the alternator is playing up you can just replace the rectifier part, its all nice bits to do to be fair

@chrishirst7716 Год назад

It's not like Chris is getting excited over one of these. If it had been a GT3 tractor, I could understand that I love it. KEEP IT FOR CHRIS.

@kevthedetailer7691 Год назад

When these 996’s go flat or the battery gets low the alarm will go off when trying to start it which is mentally loud. I would start with a new battery as by the look of the dashboard reading the alternator is working well. When changing the battery KEEP THE IGNITION ON/POSITION 2 from the start as it will stop the alarm going off when you disconnect the old battery and connect the new one. Also Heritage Parts now do Porsche parts and I’m sure would love to help with any bits you needed.

@zilspeed Год назад

Rob - always worth putting a 911 or any car with the engine in the mid or rear onto a transporter or trailer backwards. (if you can.) It helps avoid funny weight distribution and keeps everything on an even keel. Just my observation from getting it wrong once and an old hand told me that's why all the racers have the car on backwards. Keeps the rig nice and steady.

If you get further issues with that key release , the ignition switch on 996s is a known failure point. You can take key out and ignition stays on. You can replace electrical portion of switch without changing key. There is a part made by same manufacturer as OEM at significantly reduced cost.

@guymaddock648 Год назад

Great cars these, not without their issues - but well worth persevering with. Parasitic battery leak is a very common issue. Fairly easy to fix - just needs a specialist auto electrician on it. Starting issues usually down to an £80 starter cable needing replaced - and make sure a new battery is fitted once leccy gremlins are fixed - and is man enough for the job! Otherwise ace. Really like the 997.2 rear lights and ducktail. Could be made to look like a 997 Sport Classic with the right wheels 👌

@stevelaming9223 Год назад

Well done Guys. I think this might need a lot of TLC. If it's a 2000 car, it's a 996 with a 3.4 ltr motor. The body kit is a bit GT3/GT2. The 997 GT3 didn't have air intakes in front of the rear wheels, only the Turbo and the GT2. Give the gearbox a service, that will help. And I can recommend Spyder Performance for any suspension parts you may need to cure the rattles. I have then on my 986 Boxster. Hopefully the mice have not got in there!

All show and no go sadly sums up everything I've seen. As in they look the part for TV (normally from a distance) or show purposes but under the skin every corner gets cut. Rushed and ham fisted. Not one specialist ever involved. Go through this car with a fine toothed comb and best of luck! It's a great car and it'll be worth all the effort putting it right. Having Shane's name associated in it's history is not a positive. Sorry for only being negative guys.

I am not a Porsche expert but there is a bearing that needs to be checked and changed at a certain mileage, it begins with the letter 'I' but I just can't think of the name. Also get a bore scope and check for bore score. It didn't sound like it was suffering from it but it would be worth checking now before you go too far. You already know that you have to check for rodent activity and yes they can get into tiny spaces. I think you have a great motor there and I am pleased for you both.

I had a Boxster a few years ago from copart. Absolutely drove me crazy. I ended up completely ripping the interior out as mice had made a few homes in the thing. But I had nearly the same fault the immobiliser kept on kicking in when it was running. Only every like week it wouldn't start wouldn't hold charge in battery but found a body control module that was under the front seat. Think it was passenger side but can't remember. But it got damp and done all the connections and mice had has a munch on the wires. My first choice would be see where that module is. And them door handles depending on what age and spec they do have wires and alarm system wires coming from door locks and handles. I had to strip mine down and WD-40 everything But I got it back to 100% perfect. But never again stayed well away from Porsches. Nice motor good luck with it.

She sounds lovely and certainly looks like a beast of a motor. Looking forward to seeing the next one. Top work and cheers for the video take care

If that was in someone’s collection, what does the rest of the collection look like. Scrap?

@Tyronnster Год назад

Not a fan of the more expensive stuff. Matt Armstrong, Dean n this channel all with Porsche. Rather see Chris skills rebuilding stuff

@markbowen3638 Год назад

Looks like many have tried and failed and moved it on. If anyone can sort it you can , but at what cost? Think like most better stock, as enthusiasts don't like messed with cars. Good luck guys!

Cosmetically it's a proper mish mash, 997 front 997.2 rear on a 996 body. Unfortunately no easy way to de-chav it so I reckon just embrace it for what it is, cheap bit of fun!

@stevey-xw4gz Год назад

looks super chav that...

@helipeek2736 Год назад

So chav-tastic I’m surprised it’s not got a Burberry interior. 🤢

Cheap noname tires on a Porsche, that can't be a good sign :P Regarding the gearbox - maybe a good oil and filter change will help?

@philbirdseye1172 Год назад

Cracking car, look forward to watching the progress. I hope in the end once all sorted Chris will keep it.

You guys should do quick flip or a collaboration video with a Porsche specialist like friends green Porsche. Get it mint. Do a bore score check.

Love a 911. That needs to be returned to standard, remove privacy glass and rear spoiler. Wheels back to silver. I’m sure you will turn a profit on it, but it sure is a risk, but if as usual you buy well, it will sell with a nice earner👍

Noticed you say “I’m not going to lie” a lot 😂

Guy's the alarm/immobilizer is under the seat in the 996, if the two drains either side of the battery block up with leaves you can get water under the carpet and in the alarm module without knowing you have a leak. I've heard of several cars showing the same symptoms after getting water ingress.
