Hi People,

Just to introduce myself as a new member form the Derby area.

I'm the proud owner of a black 997 Gen. 2 for about a year now.

Done a few track days, Cadwell, Oulton and Donnington.

Have a visit planned to Spa and the Ring in June any other members partake in such activities?

Technical??
Am I correct in believing the DFI engine in the Gen 2 997 is the A91 which is dry sumped?

Hi and welcome. :hello2:

I stand to be corrected, but I'm sure the A91 3.8 engine in the Carreras and Turbos had a wet sump. It wasn't until the GT2 RS came out it was given a Metzger block that had a dry sump. I might be wrong though? :roll:

I had no idea that any fairly recent 911 had taken the retrograde step of installing a wet sump motor, blimey, that cost cutting exercise could explain a few things, if we cast our minds back a few years to the earlier water pumpers :?
