The early 996 were very bad cos it was the first of the water cool engines, im looking for the 2005 facelift 3.6L 996 i know all about the teething faults, oh also to fit X2 rear tyres costs about 700 pounds, dont laugh and to do a clutch is gonna cost 1000 pounds, very high maintenance car!! which is why im taking my very best time to find a low mileage and owner based car, not jumping in to the fire to find out it needs parts and end up leaving it on the side road saving money for repairs LOOOOOL.

My choice would be the 964 Turbo 2 or if you want to remortgage your house, then a 993 Turbo 4 however this is purely personal preference.

Whichever 911 you get, definately go for a manual and not the tiptronic.

Thankyou, it certainly ticked all the boxes for me, will get the throttle body set up on soon and have some minor bits in the pipeline.

I was happy to pay that price, and the sound of the thing...

Oh, whereabouts are you then Kev? I'm afraid not, mine was the lapis blue one (bluebell)...which is now Davids (jokercooper)...looking to get another one sometime although someone is trying to talk me into getting an old audi also! Am just happy to photograph everyone elses E21s until i make up my mind.
Keep us updated on it..

Don't get the Audi!!!
E21 is cooler!!!
