Wow.....color me impressed. That's really awesome! Kudos to the owner for driving it, instead if garaging it.

Here is a brief history video with a 19psi engine dyno and a 28psi wheel dyno:

Thanks for all the kind words guys..... I am looking forward to the new build. When we tore my motor down and analyzed everything we learned a lot! She is a wealth of information. It is the first 1000rwhp+ 996 engine with almost 27K miles to be torn down... Priceless info! The new build should yield several hundred more rear wheel HP.

here's what was done to the car.. posted on rennlist.. not bad for 230k miles..

Here is a list of what has been done to the car: T2

· All three front radiators
· water pump
· coolant expansion tank (as a precaution with water pump)
· power steering pump/reservoir (for the annoying squeal)
· right front bearing, left rear bearing
· front diff (due to front bearing issue)
· clutch accumulator and slave cylinder (4 times now for the slave - one time lasted only 4 days and it failed - PCNA pulled all the parts on the shelves in the US as a result of this and a few others in the country with a similar issue)
· wiring harness repair (passenger side front most cylinder – harness to the coil pack chaffing issue)
· rear main seal (while engine was down for a wiring harness repair we pulled the tranny to inspect the bearings, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel)
· two bearings in the clutch assembly – one was bad, one was fine
· Decarbon the secondary air ports from the intakes to the exhaust
· Gas cap – the gasket finally went at 186,000+ miles
· Check valve and carbon canister on the vapor recovery system for the fuel tank
· normal services done on time
· brake pads (only on the 4th rear set and 5th front set - car has PCCB's and is tracked 6-10 days/year)
· oil changes every 5000 miles religiously
· tranny and diff fluids every 60,000 miles
· Baileys DV's
· GT-3 Cup front brake ducts
