    Another GREAT episode!
    What makes this channel special was highlighted by a point that Frank made when the owner was discussing his front bumper - these cars have stories that you only learn from the owners.
    All of this centers around the central theme that “it’s your car, your tastes and preferences should be respected.
    Love, LOVE, learning about the different Porsche models and their idiosyncrasies.

    Great to see a 996 on the show (And indeed the “Sister” car to my own 2001 Aero kit!). Remarkably similar mods to mine too, almost certainly due to the owner being a similar build to me (So lower console delete, bucket seats etc)
    For information Hartech recommend only going to 3.7 litres for the 3.4 996.1 engine. While as stated you can (At great expense) fit a 3.6 crank but apparently the valves aren’t large enough to let anything bigger than 3.7 “Breath” properly. I’m of the same opinion as this guest though; if there is a loud “Bang” from the back of my car then I’ll shrug my shoulders and phone up Grant at Hartech to say “It’s time”. I would suggest though that the rebuild price to a 3.7 is probably closer to £20k than it is £14k though. Don’t listen to me though; best to speak to.
    Interesting too is that I previously owned a 996 Turbo too and prefer my current Carrera for all the reasons stated. The Carrera 2 doesn’t have an excess of power but it has the RIGHT amount of power in that you can use the majority of it the majority of the time.
    Great video as always!

    Good to see the fluffing for 996.1s, got mine at the right time and love it. Non aero, cable throttle, mods continuing, subtle yet so 911. I can't get my head around that taco wing on not GT cars though, not a fan.

    I love this UA-cam channel! as it's always really informative and the passion from you and the featured car/driver is infectious. It's so great to see a 996 finally being featured, and what a fine example of fabulously modified 911. Metropole blue has to be the best interior colour and I love to see how Nathan gets his Recaro seats re-trimmed in metropole blue and the blue tartan. Please say that you are you planning a follow up video in the future to show any further mods Nathan makes?

    Great video. Got a 996.2 C2 manual since a month. No PSM or sunroof, only CD-player as option 😆 Fitting Öhlins R/T so will see how it goes. Gen 1 are great but I really like the extra torque in 3.6 and better gearbox and more solid interior in gen 2. Either way, 996 must be sportscar deal of the century!! This car is here stay 🚗

    Am I right in saying a low temp thermostat is not going to make the engine run any cooler for instance on a hot day in a traffic jam ? I understand it opens earlier than a normal one but the engine will still heat up to the same temp if conditions prevail , the 3rd radiator on the other hand adds to the ability to cool the coolant and keep the engine cooler (if possible) . It's the fans that kick in when even 3 rads are not enough to dissipate the heat. Can you have these kick in sooner in a traffic jam?
    The low temp thermostat will allow the engine to run cooler on say a cool day when on the motorway at a steady speed and there is more than enough radiators to "get rid" of the heat. ..correct?
