Agreed. Great looking car, I still like the simplicity of the back end of the 996, 997 always looked a bit more fussy but I've gotten used to it.


I'll be up for a meet up, car needs a good run out with some cars that can keep up with it

Well if you believe everything you read on here you'll be fine keeping up as we will all be spinning wildly out of control or going backwards into a hedge. :-)

Hope you are well.

Looking forward to meeting up again and seeing what mods and tinkering had been done over the winter. NOT JUST POLISHING as that doesn't count.

Chaps I am not getting my car back from CG until another 2-3 weeks as they are going through everything with a fine tooth brush so I will be
GT2'less for a while.

On a totally different topic, I was on Rennlist last night and came across a thread about a number of 996TT's, 996 GT3,s GT2, basically any car that has the GT1 Mezger block. The engines are
very tough but it seems the weakness link and frankly could be extremely dangerous is the Water hoses connected to the pumps etc, I think there are about 7-8 of them that to me seems utter madness appears to be bonded !! i.e. no flange and jubilee clip. Reading the stories of these hoses coming loose and sending coolant directly onto the back tyres has very limited appeal to me. Has anyone on this site experienced this or heard of this happening over here. I know that the export cars to the states experience a higher level of temp which could effect the bonding but it just seems like this is strong enough and dangerous enough to have been a recall ?

996 GT2, This ones for you. Spotted this while at a meeting in London last week.

[Crimp a Length!]

Yes they are bonded pure design fault.
I had a couple go on the GT3. Replaced them with the upgraded spec.

Was it an engine out Job to get to the pipes that are tucked under the induction system ?

This year is going to be an expensive one, just bought new set of boots, complete suspension freshen, Major service and Knowing myself the coolant pipes updated.
