Im about to purchase a 996 GT3 and im coming from an Exige. Is there any common known issues with this car I should look for? from my understanding it can be driven pretty hard and still considered bullet proof.

Are there any members here that can give me any advice on this car. Im a complete noob to the Porsche world. Im looking to learn as I go along

Thanks

 

Ppi from someone that knows Porsches
Then if it checks out, buy it

Known weak point - The limited slip diff

They are great cars

 

coolant fittings.

 

Ah yes - coolant fittings too

 

really this is the biggest one...

 

Brakes, especially if are ceramics

 

Mods are money pit - warning

 

Thanks for all the help. Just closed on a 05 GT3 with 26k miles. It has a roll cage, factory race seats and a set of OZ wheels along with stock wheels.

Any info on where I can get good deals on tires? Looks like the OZs take 315s.

I would also like to know where I can find the euro side markers? I'm only able to find them on eBay.

 

America's Tire Co. usually has pretty competitive prices and they price match.

As far as euro side markers, you should be able to get them from a Porsche dealer.

 

How much did you pay for your 05 GT3 with 26K?

 

You will now have rear vision! No need to stare at that intercooler anymore! Haha. Well I say welcome to the Porsche World. Would love to see pics of your new GT3 when you receive it.

 

Pic pls......

 

We have the Right



And we have the Left



Both are OEM Hella units, meaning they are exactly the same as what your local dealer will sell you, but for about half the price!
