I do have a love for a Porsche but especially the 996. I’ve had the 986 & 987 boxster S models and looking for a 996 so will be watching this with some interest.

Maybe pull the sump off first? Worth a look for little expense.

[@AntGstuff]

Nice job 👍 looking forward to follow up. What scissor lift is that? Thanks

[@AntGstuff]

[@AntGstuff]

Me too!

Omg, that interior! Reminds me of an 80s bathroom! What were Porsche thinking at the time???

[@AntGstuff]

I understand there are those that really like it. Must say it grew on me.

Nephrite green. I have boring black which I think I’d keep but the green is a bit different which I like too. Must’ve been a bit of a statement and quite flash when new. This one does look better to me with the same coloured wheel…I’ve seen them with a black wheel which I didn’t like as much.

Interesting….

Is this the model that suffers with bore score? A compression test will be the acid test!

[@DanDan-hj2pp]

They all do mate

[@AntGstuff]

Yes, 3.4 less more than the 3.6 /3.8 though
