Have to sell my beloved 997.1 as more frequent commutes necessitate something a bit more sensible. This is a phenomenal weekend / adventure car, but unfortunately I can't justify it as my daily driver any more.
Hartech cars like this don't come up for sale very often, so this is a rare opportunity to skip all the pain and heartache that I've been through and just go straight to the final finished product 😅
Tens of thousands spent in the last few years, covering:
- Full Hartech 3.9 rebuild completed 5k ago by renowned Porsche specialist Dave O Brien. New pistons, crank, rod, bearings, liners, ported & polished heads, new valvetrain, all pulleys & bearings updated. Engine is fully run in and ready for adventure!
- FVD baffled sump ensures oil starvation will not be an issue.
- Every conceivable 997 issue has been resolved, including bore score, IMS upgrade, coolant pipes, low temp thermostat, etc. Enjoy worry free motoring with no reliability concerns!
- Full suspension refresh of all arms & bushes & top mounts. Springs & dampers replaced ~20k ago. Set up with a fast road alignment. Perfect for the Wicklow mountains.
- New discs & Pagid pads, 10k ago. Goodridge hoses, GT3 master cylinder. Phenomenal braking performance.
- Numeric Racing solid gearbox cables and short throw shifter give an addictive gear change. Coupled with the braking set up, this car is built for heel & toe downshifts. (original cables & gear shift included in sale)
- Alcantara gear gaiter & Carrera GT style wooden shift knob gives a lovely tactile feel (original included in sale)
