996 GT2 register?

[EVOeng]

Afternoon guys,

does anybody know if there is an online register of GT2's.
Just really wanted to know which number mine is.
How many GT2's are on pistonheads?

Thanks in advance

Nothing that I know of.

There was talk a while back of starting up a GT2 owners club so that we could collect info on the cars but that idea seemed to fade out.

[EVOeng]

Hopefully, that idea will fade back in.
I remember when looking for a Ferrari 355, I came across this;

A GT2 version would be great, at least that way everyone can keep a track of a cars history. (i.e. previous accident damage even if it was unrecorded (like that GT02 FAT car).

[996GT2]

That looks pretty useful.

I could probably set something like this up if there's enough interest.

Regarding GT02 FAT; has anyone bought that yet?

I think that car is sold, a register would be a good way of going about making sure that future owners know everything about the cars. Also, this is a great way of seeing how many 996 GT2's are still on the road out of the 129 cars.

I wonder which number mine is, 08/2004 probably makes it 1 of 16 2004 cars and probably number 12 or there abouts.

I thought PCGB had one, but a quick flick through Porsche Post shows otherwise.

Were the MKI Wheels added by choice? As it is possible you have a MKI which was registered in 2004.

The car pictured in your profile,isn't that the one that was at DK ? If so I think that is a MK1 that you have there. HTH

chassis number will reveal all. There's plenty of 04 registered Mk1s. Look for the 04 in the chassis number, not 03 (or maybe even 02 I suppose) Can't remember the details now.

My profile picture is a library one from the DK site. Just waiting to get mine polished and waxed before I take some pictures.
I think the mk2 wheels were taken off by Hendon Way Motors before they sold the car to the previous owner; and I am on the lookout for some mk2 wheels.

[996GT2]

What's the definitive list of changes between mk1 and mk2 then?

As far as I know it's:

+20bhp
Carbon front vent and rear wing (on clubsport model only??)
GT3 wheels
Different geo setup
PCM2 (on comfort models??)


But it seems most of the 2004 cars I've seen have a mixture of mk1 and mk2 bits.

KAL on here has a mk2 and it dyno'd at around 20bhp less than mine if I remember correctly eh KAL?

I feel sorry for the guy/gal who bought GT02 FAT!!!! Surely they'll find out that they've been ripped off, eventually.

They might not have been ripped off. For all we know the seller looked into it and after discovering any history did an appropriate deal.

Ok, that's 3 people interested, that's enough for me. I'll work out all of the info we need and make a start on the database/website.

We'll need a domain name, widowmaker-register.com, 996gt2db.com etc etc.
