Dougle_turbo Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 So after a fantastic trip to the Nurburgring, I'm thinking about selling my car. I can't get the idea of a GT3 out of my head and so I think the time may have come. The question is should I sell as is or revert to stock? The car currently has the following mods that could be removed and sold on: Recaro pole position seats. RSS harness bar and Schroth harness IPD competition plenum and GT3 air intake boosting output to 370BHP Quick release steering wheel. DSC PASM control box. Elephant racing fully adjustable control arms front and rear. Elephant racing rear toe arms. Euro cup GT front arms. Other upgrades that would stay: Canewal GT exhaust. New LSD (well fitted 12 months ago) Short shift kit. Cayman R rear wing. Original Cayman R lightweight 19 wheels and MPS4S The car currently has £93K on the clock. Anyone got any ideas what I should do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 From a financial perspective, I think you'll make more money by putting it back to stock and selling the various pieces separately. There are some tasty mods on that list that current owners will appreciate (the DSC box for example) but a new/casual owner will not have any idea about (or put any value on).

Liongolfer Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If you do decide to return it back to stock, I'll be interested in the Carnewal GT exhaust assuming its for a 987.2S I may be interested in the IPD competition plenum and GT3 air intake as well.

Ginginho Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'd say that, if you cannot get it back to full stock spec, then it makes little difference. Opinions on mods are entirely subjective of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys. I was thinking that stock is probably the best idea, or certainly the bulk back to stock. Some mods are easy to change (DSC box) others not so easy. The car is a Gen 2, but the Carnewal GT will stay on as I had him modify the one that was on the car. It was great fun driving over to Belgium to have that done - his garage is awesome! Edited September 27, 2021 by Dougle_turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a exhaust fitted by him a few years ago. Loved the big TV's in front of the ramps. Bit of an Aladdins cave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyoz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'd be interested in the Elephant racing, Euro GT stuff and the. What LSD is in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an MFactory LSD, brilliant piece of kit. I'll let you know what route I go down. The car currently has -3 all round and the turn in is unbelievably good. I have never had it understeer in the dry (at any speed) with this setup. Edited September 27, 2021 by Dougle_turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I also forgot that the car has H&R anti roll bars front and rear. Oil temp + pressure gauge. Central radiator added. GT3 smile vent. GT3 master cylinder Edited September 27, 2021 by Dougle_turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you upload a photo of where you have these installed? I've been looking to do the same but can't find any nice looking gauge pods (I don't have Sports Chrono so can't use the wart).

Dougle_turbo Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 This shows where they are. The temp and pressure are taken from senders in the block with cabling routed to the dash. I think there are some install photos on my build page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyoz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Out of interest, did you notice how much delay there is between the standard water temp on dash show "up to temp" and the same for your oil temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 The standard water temp gauge is next to useless, it's very slow to respond. I now only refer to the oil temp gauge. Car seems to get up to temp 2 mins or so before the water temp gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know oil gets to temp that fast. I'd always assumed it would lag behind the temperature guage. Bi know the hen 2 DFI engine is known to get to temp faster than non DFI. I give mine about 10 mins before giving it any decent revs. Edited September 28, 2021 by Andyoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
