Porsche 911 996 Carrera w GT3 Body Kit | Track Build Modifications
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Porsche 911 996 Carrera still remains as the ultimate sports car bargain. It is a great piece of kit for daily driving, weekend blasts and even track action. But for those who want a more track oriented build, there is a wide range of modifications from a GT3 body kit to brake mods, that would bring a base Carrera a lot closer to its GT3 sibling.
Here is the story of one such build, told by its owner. Below you can find the list of modifications done to the car:
Front & Rear 15mm spacers
Front strut bar
Rear strut bar
Catless x-pipe
Recaro Spg seats
KW V3 coilovers
FVD deep sump oil pan
Cayenne Turbo S front brakes
Gt3 master brake cylinder
Short shifter
Rss roll cage
LW battery Odyssey pc680.
Carrera 4s rear discs combined with 996 carrera front calipers.
Aasco Lwfw+Perf clutch
Gt3 rear subframe solid aluminium bushings
H&R rear & front sway bars
6 Point Schroth harnesses
Momo Mod07 steering wheel
Elephant Racing front camber plate

Great video! I especially love how it’s ‘just’ a very well modified Carrera. With so many pining over GT3’s, I’m with the owner and would much rather modify a base model. The car seen here is basically where I want my speed yellow ‘99 C2 to be at when it’s all done.
Thank you very much for your nice words, appreciated big time. I took a short ride in it while filming and I was quite impressed how compliant it was despite the mods. Frankly, I was expecting a harsh ride. It really is a cleverly modified car. Good luck with your build by the way. Cheers!
This is exactly what I would do with a 996.1. Every modification makes sense. Bravo sir!
👍😎
Man, this Carrera + appears close to perfect. Talk about passion and resolve, this chap is the kind of person I would take my 996 to and ask him to work on it. Great to see this kind of work and dedication. Want that car badly.
👍😎
These cars are truly versatile, aren’t they? I love it. Nice work to the owner.
Indeed! Unless you are not after horsepower, the mods are not outrageously expensive either.
Brilliant car. Excellent modifications, well done.
I have to say I much prefer the look of the gen 1 996 to the gen 2. The "fried egg" headlights look great in my opinion.
Thank you very much. Fully agree with you. :)
Outlaw Turks, respect for this guy and the build. Awesome job
👍😎
Thanks for the invite Sir! I enjoyed being in a video of yours.
You are always welcome! My pleasure. 👍😎
I have multiple Turkish colleagues and they all sound like you guys. Very good english and a fun accent to listen to😆.
Great video guys. A proper guide on how to GT3-a-fy your carrera without trying to be one. Perfect!
😅 Many thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers to you and your colleagues! 😎
I'm so damn in love of all the 996.1!
👍👍😎
I've never driven on a track, but man I wish I felt comfortable enough to toss my car around like that! I'm worried I'd friggin wreck it. :(
Same here bro, I do that only at the roundabouts. :)
Have been watching your 996 videos for many years. I own a 996.2 GT3 and I love it. Keep it up. Mine is a Canadian version so a roll bar and Recarro seats were added. I also have an aftermarket exhaust and RSS rose jointed suspension links.
Thanks a lot, so glad to hear that! How much I would love to shoot your car, sadly we don't even have a single 996 GT3 over here. It is a keeper. Cheers!
Quick comment for people actually looking to get more power out of an M96: retrofitting the X51 Powerkit is really the only path to go down without boring out the engine. Air filters, exhausts, etc aren't going to get you far, but Porsche's factory powerkit changed a whole lot more than that. New heads, new camshafts, new cylinders, new connecting rods, new valves, new oil pump, new oil pan, more oil lines, a center radiator, new intake plenum, new exhaust manifolds, and a revised ECU. It was a $7,000 option from the factory, and only sold in Europe and Japan on the 996.1. Factory X51 cars have engine number M96.01S (M96.03S on 996.2), and bumped the power by "20 horsepower" according to Porsche, though this has been determined to have been an under-report to not hurt GT3 sales. A number of owners have measured 350 BHP which gets really close to the M96.76 in the GT3.
I'm in the US so I don't have access to such engines, but if I ever come across the parts to rebuild my engine with it, I'm snapping them up.
Hello Henry. Many thanks for watching and dropping a comment. The kit was a costly option but it was well worth the money considering all the parts it provided with and the power it delivered. It basically made the car a "Carrera S". I've yet to come across one over here but as you've mentioned, for someone who's gonna do a rebuild an engine, it definitely needs to be checked out. Probably Porsche didn't sell the kit as many as they hoped and 997 Carrera was born as a consequence. Cheers!
@@WheelNuts Thanks for the response! Love the videos. As for the kit, I don't think any sales figures were ever released, but I can't imagine many sold given they didn't really advertise it. The closest it got to mass-recognition was the 3.6 variant in the 40AE cars. I'd argue it was almost more like a 911 GTS if paired with the Sports Package (sport seats, M030 suspension, and limited slip diff) and hollow spoke wheels. I have an early 996 with all of those save for the X51 kit. Its still plenty of fun, and I've only got ~110k miles on the car, so I'm a ways out from needing a rebuild, but given that the parts for the kit seem to transact for ~10,000 USD right now, it will probably remain out of my reach.
As for X51's impact on later cars, X51 was offered as an option through the 997.1 on the Carrera S, after which on the 997.2, it became the GTS model (all GTS engines being 9A1.xS and all internal build codes listing X51 for GTS models).
Henry, thank you for commenting and your support for the channel, it really means a lot for me. I assume back in those days Porsche had not fully discovered the magic of "product differentiation" as a way of marketing. That configuration really would make it a "996 GTS". By the way, we are more or less on similar mileage, mine is at 119k. Have you done anything about the IMS please?
@@WheelNuts My IMS is original still. My car is a 4/98 build, so I have a dual row, and a block safe from the coolant intermix failure (low-milage 3/98s and earlier may still suffer from this). Im thinking about doing it with my next clutch job, but if anything Id probably just put another OEM dual row bearing in. Since theyre sealed bearings, they wont last forever, but the load capacity of the dual row is well over-spec, so its underworked and should last a long time.
👍 my car (the white Carrera in the video) is also 98. An early one, it doesn't even have side airbags. :)
Nice to see someone focused on weight savings VS chasing BHP
👍😎
Very informative video with great shots and editing. Now that I know how to properly modify a 996, I have to get one! :)
Ha ha hurry up, the prices keep going up on the "unloved" 911! :)
Thanks for great video with lots of very good ideas! Very inspirational too! I've only just started doing the first few little things to my 996.2, will be a few years to yet to the level of your car! One small, rather silly comment on the lowered suspension: OEM M030 sports suspension package is 'only' minus 10mm ride height (and stiffer coil-overs and stiffer, none-adjustable sway bars, but nothing like the stiffness on the GT3). To get to -/-30mm on normal 996 with OEM parts the option number was X74.
Many thanks for your nice words, it's greatly appreciated. Good luck with your project, hope it'll turn out the way you like. By the way I am the filmer (the guy who owns the bone stock white Carrera :)). It is not a silly comment, many thanks for the correction and further information; if only everyone on the internet was as polite as you. Thanks again. Cheers!
@@WheelNuts Was being lazy when I wrote 'your car' ;-), actually did realize who was who. Good luck with your channel (and your own 996)!
The 996 is a keeper, best sports car I've ever driven. Many thanks for your support for the channel, appreciated big time! :)
Enjoyable and informative conversation. Really nice example of cool 996's. Good work!
Thank a lot for your nice words! Your support is appreciated big time. :)
Great story, very well brought to the screen.
✌✌
Great video from a fellow Swartz black 996.1 aerokit owner.
Thank you Sir! :) Enjoy your beautiful car!
Beautiful 996. I own a 996.1 aero kit car also but in silver they are more special than some people like to admit!
Fully agreed! Enjoy your beautiful car Sir!
@@WheelNuts thank you
Very nice. I also own a '99 C2, same metallic black. I have kept it relatively stock so far, but with Alleggeritas, and some minor changes to the intake. It also has the factory LSD and M030 suspension.
Enjoy your beautiful car Sir!
Tastefully modified! 👏👏👏
Indeed! :)
996.1 was a ugly duckling 🐥 I think it is now has become a beautiful swan 🦢
Indeed! History keeps repeating itself but "purists" never change! The times they had strong opinions about the 964 are long gone. 😅
Amen!
It’s interesting how quick that changed. Many haters are now not bashing on the 996 anymore.
@@Jean-Paul_1984 No,,,,they are buying them 😎
True that. :)
History repeating itself. :)
LOVE it! like my 2003 996 too...
Thanks a lot, glad that you've enjoyed the video. :)
Great job you’ve done!!!! Excellent!! Greetings from fellow 996 owner in Pennsylvania, US. 🍻
Many thanks for your nice words. Cheers!
Amazing mods in this 996
👍😎
Great info, mine is a lot like yours, 996.1 black with gt3 aero pack. Definitely need coilovers, anti roll bars n weight savings.. One difference, mine has got the VF Eng supercharger 😊
👍 you have taken it to the next level. 😎
Gerçekten bu jenerasyon nasıl bu denli underrated kaldı? Aslında videolarınız sayesinde cevabı bilsem de hayretim sabit. Gerçekten güzeller
Çok güzel ifade ettiniz, önyargıları kırmak kolay olmuyor sanırım. :) Teşekkürler, selamlar.
This guy has superb idea. Very thoughtful approach 👌🏿
👍😎
Nice video
Thank you Sir! :)
Thanks, please make a technical video on the cayenne brake upgrade - sounds interesting!
Here is more detail on the brakes via message sent by my friend: The calipers are 18z cayenne turbo s calipers with ventilated oem cayenne turbo s disks. Other than that the master cylinder is stock gt3 one. The hard part is manufacturing an adaptor to fit those machined calipers in order to make them a vertical mount style. If you search for 996 cayenne brakes you will see what I mean. Unfortunately this is not a bolt on brake solution..
Great Video. Love to see more on specific items in detail. I'm curious about the brakes. Can you give part numbers or more info on the items used?
Thanks a lot! I will ask my friend about the part numbers.

Nice 996!

lovely car and well built!!

Great video! Beautiful car! I love the 996.1 aerokit 911.
Thanks a lot! :)
Really cool build and beautiful car. Though if you wanted a real sleeper you would keep a stock rear lid 😉
:) True that! Many thanks for watching and commenting.
I really liked the video! Great job on the car
Thanks a lot! :)
super machine !!!

👏🏽…@Kağan ben de böyle bir video isterim 😍
👍 araba ne? :)

Ben cekmedim ama ne yardim gerekiyorsa hazirim:)

5:36 What exactly did he do to the exhaust?
It sounds great, thats hardly how it sounds from factory?
He also tells about the exhaust. If I remember correctly he has different mufflers, resonator plug. Cheers!
im beginning to like teh 996.1 more and more. For the turbo the 996.2 looks great but I think on a carrera and all the derivations of it 996.1 looks better.
Agreed! :)
What’s his final weight? Not sure if I caught that? My goal is 1250kg if not less
Should be around that because I remember him saying taking off 90 kg or so.
Did you loose any torque with the x pipe?
My friend reported no losses (or any gains for that matter).
Does gt3 front bumper fit c4s too?
No, their fronts are identical with Turbos.
Does the cat delete xpipe loose power on lower RPM?
My friend has not mentioned anything so I guess no difference to the upside or down. :)
Great video. Amazing car and beautiful scenery as well!
Where did you buy the rear spoiler? The OE prices are a bit too much for me 😀
Many thanks for your kind words, appreciated big time. :) I will ask the owner about the spoiler. Cheers!
He said, you can buy it either from design911 or porscheshop. He has bought oem one so it is expensive I am afraid.
Amazing. Thanks a lot for getting back to me ✌🏽. Enjoy your 996. I’ll enjoy mine. It’s quite similar to yours btw
You are welcome, many thanks for watching. It is a car to enjoy indeed. Have a great weekend! :)
🤞😷🏁
👍😎
Nice. Check out my videos too. Love the 996. Straight piped ?
Will do Dave, thanks very much. No it has cat delete, an x-pipe and not-louder-tan-stock mufflers. You can find the full list of mods in the description. Cheers!
