Additional Information:
I was hoping not to do this but with my dad's car throwing a wobbly again, it's left me with little choice.
I bought this car last June with a poorly engine. The No.2 Piston had previously seized in the bore, hence it made a racket as some of you may recall. I acquired another engine from a Porsche breaker with 85,000 miles on it, and sent the engine down to EMC Motorsport in Birmingham (http://www.emcmotorsport.com). Whilst it was there, the following was performed on it:
Cambelt, Balance belt and tensioners all renewed
Cam timing setup/dialled in
New Sachs Solid Centred Clutch Kit
Backplates/Crackle Effect cam cover transferred from the old engine with new gaskets
Cambelt tension checked after 1500 miles.
I have done around 3,000 miles in it since then and it has been a pleasure to drive the car. It pulls well, and cleanly to the redline with a kick at 4k, and generally is free of untoward noises. I have also changed the V5 details to make everything up to date.
Furthermore it's had the following done in my ownership mechanically:
New O/S Lower Arm (Hartech Replacement)
968 Lower Arm/Castor mounts
BERU Ignition leads/Cap and rotor arm
New Handbrake springs
Radiator cap
2 x New tyres (front)
New Radiator and cooling/heating hoses throughout
Replacement heater matrix
Previous to my ownership the owner (he did 20,000 miles in the car (7k of which were done over the last 3 years) over 10 years) he did the following:
Braided Brake lines
New Pads/Discs/Shoes all round
New Oil pressure sender (on the new engine)
New N/S Lower Arm (PorschApart)
Exchange Steering Shaft (PorscheShop)
New TREs and Track Rods (ECP)
As a result, mechanically it's very tight.
Interior wise it's all good too. It has leather seats front to back which are devoid of cracks and rips. Rest of the interior is also good. I will also throw in the Becker Mexico Pro into the sale which perfectly compliments the interior in a retro/modern kind of way.
Exterior wise it's got a few stonechips on the front but generally it's quite tidy and devoid of dents. It's sitting on Genuine 996 Carrera Cup Alloy wheels with 944/968 specific tyre sizes, in addition to 968 Cup Mirrors (latter being worth £200 easily alone).
So what do I want for it? £4100ono. Alternatively, if you have a car younger than 5 years old along the lines of a Mongdeo (So a Vectra, Laguna, Volvo V70 etc. will all do) that's not an automatic I may end up doing an exchange of some description.
