Description
2002 Porsche 996.2 3.6 C2 – 6-Speed Manual – 89k Miles - FSH
Due to a change of job, I am selling my pride and joy. It took months to find this specific car; as a sports car mechanic with over 25 years of experience, I am incredibly fussy. I specifically sought out a 3.6 C2 manual with Turbo Twist alloys, a clean MOT history, and a full service history, as they are - in my opinion - the best driver’s cars of the 996 generation.
Major Maintenance & Preventative Work:
The "Big Three" (New Clutch, IMS Bearing, and Rear Main Seal) were completed prior to my purchase. Since then, I have performed a comprehensive maintenance to my own uncompromising standards:
Oil service using Millers CFS NT+ oil at 84K, K&N panel filter, and fresh brake/clutch fluid.
Gearbox oil change (Millers low-friction)
Steering track rods and track rod ends were replaced using TRW (original manufacturer for Porsche) parts, and front alignment. Due to very slight play.
Cooling System Overhaul: New Genuine Porsche coolant tank and cap, new radiators, water pump, low-temp thermostat, and G40 coolant. Any ageing hoses or ducts were replaced with Genuine Porsche parts.
All 4 lambda sensors were replaced with Bosch sensors due to 1 starting to get slow.
Full Service: Completed less than 1,000 miles ago using Millers CFS NT+ oil, new Bosch plugs. I personally inspected the oil filter for any metal particles - it was 100% clean.
Tasteful Upgrades:
Euro Sport stainless back boxes. Lovely rasp without being loud or drowning.
RSS engine mounts due to original mounts going soft.
New Android Double Din (Phone Link/Nav). I built a custom wiring loom to integrate with the Bose amp/sub correctly, avoiding the common "hacked" speaker wiring.
Seating: Upgraded to 997 heated seats—a massive improvement in comfort and support over the 996 units.
Genuine Porsche 996.1 Aero (Tacho) spoiler with a custom-made loom instead of the usual hacked original loom. (The perfect-condition original engine cover is included ready to fit if desired).
Custom quick-shifter (30% shorter shifter travel) with a weighted, illuminated leather knob. (Original shifter/knob included).
I had planned to retrofit Cruise control and I have the required loom for the retrofit, which will come with the car. I don’t have the switches though.
As you can tell, this is not a typical ageing 996. I had planned on keeping it long-term, so every job has been done to the highest standard.
Private plate comes with the car.
Any questions? Please get in touch and I’ll be happy to talk you through the car.
