I recently completed restoring and modding my 996 GT2. Now that it is done, I am not sure what to do next, or where to go from here. It has a lot of the good, big-ticket items: Tune, GMG catless X-pipe exhaust, GMG wheels, lightweight flywheel, Moton/MCS suspension, SQS sequential shifter, fire suppression, welded-in roll cage and 6 point harness with GT seats, GT2RS intercoolers, fresh paint with Imron clearcoat. It looks concourse-ready, and runs flawlessly.

I know I could start chasing the horsepower fairy, but the car has PLENTY already for a RWD suicide machine, and I don't want to sacrifice any reliability or longevity.

What would you do next, if anything? Should I just call it done?

 

It's probably more about what your ambition is for the car. Is it a Sunday driver mostly? Do you use it to road race or compete in any classes? Straight line racer? Canyon carver? Like you said, it sounds like a hell of a potent car as it sits, but does it satisfy you or are you a guy who constantly has to be modifying and tweaking? Invest in the driver possibly? (not meant as an insult...but so that you could potentially get even more out of the car).

Best wishes!

 

fresh pugs and coils along with a proper pressure test from the turbos... you will be surprised what you find...
any other mods will require a retune... not sure if you get upgrades but a k24 billet with good Wgs along with a 5 bar FPR will be a big step up from where it is now...

 

ftw drive the wheels off it.. Sweet ride by the way..

 

Fresh pugs keep the car from running a little ruff.

 

Well played

 

I think you should do a full body clearbra and then come track that bad boy at VIR

 

Bigger Plenum / Throttle body would feel great and not need a tune... maybe a 997 SSK w/ cup car cables and upgraded billet shiftlink to replace the plastic one.

 

drive it like u stole it, sounds like a wicked ride

 

When you say a big step up, can you quantify that?

 

Thanks for the advice. Due to time constraints with work-travel and family, The car is more of a Sunday driver. I would love to track it so I could learn something, and I agree with the whole "investing in the driver" concept. I'll just have to see what I can arrange down the road.

 

997 short shifter..

 

He has a sequential shifter.

 

I just want to see some pics...........

 

I didn't catch that but I don't really know what type of shifter that is and how it works on a Porsche..
