Hey guys, I have been lurking around the 996tt forum since I got my first Porsche. At that time I was a bit afraid of getting an older car so I went with a cayman s


Then last December I had an accident and totaled it

Well since then I had been looking around for a new car, the 996 always on the back of my mind but still afraid.
I started checking out the classifieds just to see what would come up.. One day I saw a car I really liked but on the west coast, the car had been for sale for a while so I was a bit afraid.. 2 months later after looking at the pics of the car every day I decided to contact the owner. Well I decided u only live once so go for it, took a plane and just went to get it
Some of you probably know the car and I am surprised it had not sold, it's in great condition, pulls super hard and overall a great car
Here it it is the first time I saw it

We took it to the transport company the next day and finally got to nj

I drove it this weekend and did a few pulls and it is super strong, I do need a larger MAF and a new tune for it, when I built boost on 5th or 6th gear the oem maf throws codes but that will be solved soon

 

Great looking car. Congrats. Let the mods begin

 

It has quite the list of mods already.. But like anythig I have ever owned, it will be modded even further

 

Congrats on the ride. Looks great, and tastefully modded already.

What kind of boost numbers are you seeing? Sound like you may have a leak if you are getting MAF codes... the stock MAF goes to a pretty huge HP level

 

Lookin' good! What mods are on the car? Any interior pics? Congrats.

 

The car used to belong to Adam tkdalumni here on the forum, he took really good care of the car and for what me and my mechanic have seen he used some really good parts on the car, he had a sg 650 kit on it but upgraded The turbos hence the need for better tuning. Here are some of the mods, I am sure there are many more
GT28 turbos
Innovative pro design Intake plenum w/ 76mm throttle body
FVD Intake piping
MaShaw GT2 Front Bumper
New GT2 clutch
MaShaw GT2
Cargraphic Loud/Export Stainless Exhaust
B&M ssk
GIAC ECU Upgrade
Cross 15 way adjustable Coilover Suspension
2003 & up Spark Plugs
Custom Billet Diverter Valves

 

We thought about the possibility of a leak but could not find any so far.. The Psm and abs light come off if I try to build boost on high gears while cruising.. If I build boost on 4th and shift up the car is fine..

I tend to spend too much money on mods so getting something already modded should keep me from doing to much lol

I will have pics and a nice video of it in action soon

 

Welcome! Love the car -- especially the color

 

good luck, I'm in NJ and also a modaholic

 

Congrats! Give us a review/comparison... Believe it or not, I've been thinking of picking up a Cayman S to cruise around in. Needed to pull some cash out of my 996TT and want something NA and simple and keep coming back to Porsche...

 

Congratulations; the car looks great!

I love it! Nice wheels! Love the color matched centers.

 

Thats a nice car...I remmember seeing that for sale on the 6 Speed forums...very nicely done

 

Nice ride !!!! Congrats.

 

thank you guys, I am happy with the car and that is what counts.. I love this damn thing even though it will probably keep me broke hahah

as for comparing it to the cayman, they are 2 completely different animals, the turbo is just raw power and like friend says boost is just addicting. The cayman is a great car though, the handeling is amazing I think with a bit more power it would be the perfect pcar. I am taking my car for a nice long twisty drive this weekend and I will do a better comparison of the 3 cars.. but the only thing I have driven that compares to the cayman in handeling is a slammed miata (here is mine next with it's stable mate
