what is an 'early' 3.4 996?

[Redline88]

I think the rear panel is worse than the door? And the bottom skirt is another shade as well.

I thought the rear panel matched the front wing quite well.

Great taste in wheels on that silver one, of course

Same wheels as I run on mine.

Opened the garage to pull the car out to get tyres fitted later to be greeted by a wonky tailpipe. No problem, I'll nip the clamp up. But, no it's broken....

Guess the car is going to look a little odd with only one tailpipe until a new clamp turns up as I'm not losing the bugger!

Anyone got any suggestions on where to source an engine coolant hose kit as mine are all pretty tired?

Off topic - sad to see two 993s languishing in a shed (and for a long time according to MOT history) - at least the 996s seem to get used.

Had all mine done last year… guy that looks after mine got them direct from Porsche… same price as Design 911, then he gets a 20% discount.

The ad says "the engine is a very late 2001 3.4 dual row ISMB motor, so much less prone to bore score than the 3.6 and with the best factory IMSB."

.....but it is a 3.6. Ooops!

The price is a bit punchy for a 148k mile car.

Slightly blinged but easily reversible tidy 996 3.4 non sunroof going through Anglia Auctions. High miles but has had a new engine 70k ago.

What is the deal with black bonnets on silver 911s and Boxsters? I have seen quite a few but am at a loss as to what is being copied/to achieve, is it a colour scheme from a special Porsche or something?

My recent purchase. A 996.2 C2



80k miles with full documentation service history. All the main jobs that need doing on these have been done, including a full suspension refresh at Centre Gravity some years ago. Absolutely loving it and my foray in to Porsche ownership.

Lovely looking car, I’m not a fan of black wheels unless it’s on a red car & that has it perfect.

Cheers, I’m of the same opinion. Very rarely would I consider black, (these are actually grey centres) and I ended up having to have all 4 wheels refurbished prior to collecting the car due to needing a new rear alloy, and decided to do something different after seeing a guards red GT3 with this colour scheme. Really pleased with the outcome.

Interesting comments section.......

How long before the listing is pulled looking at the comments?

Only 3 hours left so I’d say it’ll run the term.

Auction ended and it didn't sell

Just wanted to thank folk for the advice they gave on the car below yesterday.

A mod removed every single reply even though 1 in particular contained very good advice for everyone. Apparently my post broke commandment no6. Which is fair. However, I don't think clumsily removing all the replies merely offering advice was fair or helpful to anyone.
