996.1 GT3 Manthey K400 for sale
Right, this will kill me but I really need to be sensible and let the GT3 go. Many people know about this car and I've owned it for 3.5 years and bought from another enthusiast - Ade - who had it for 3 yrs before me.
Full spec below It's a 2000 MY Porsche 911 GT3. It was actualy a comfort model with the leather buckets fitted as new. The original colour is Polar Silver, which was then wrapped Matt Black when I bought it and last year I had it resprayed Carrara White (same as 996 GT3 RS). The paintwork was done by Langley Autocraft, who do all of JZM's work. Here's a list of mods - these were carried out by the previous owner. It's a very track focused set-up and has very little oversteer and no understeer - an amazing drive Manthey K400 conversion (new manifolds, race cats, back boxes, ECU remap) - gives 400bhp, up from 360 standard. • Manthey carbonfibre ram air scoop • Manthey carbonfibre induction • Porsche 996 GT3 MkII engine lid • Manthey carbonfibre RS rear wing • GT3 Cup filter • Manthey KW3 suspension • Manthey Monoball strut top mounts • Six-piston MkII GT3RS brake calipers • 360mm anti-rattle floating solid Alcon brake discs • Pagid RS29 brake pads • GT3 Cup front brake ducts • GT3 Cup brake cooling conversion • Plasma-nitrided Motorsport differential • Porsche Motorsport lightweight single-mass flywheel • Manthey billet short-shift kit • GT3 Cup front bumper • GT3 Cup canted radiator cooling • Porsche Motorsport Cup steering wheel • Porsche full Clubsport rollcage with removable front section • Schroth Profi II 6-point twist race harnesses • Cargraphic Race wheels (front 8.5 x 18, rear 11 x 1 In addition, I have added a GT3RS carbon fibre bonnet and is currently running Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (2 new rears) and very good fronts. The mods above cost over £40k..... Whilst I realise these don't make the car any more valuable in terms of sale price, they will of course save someone a small fortune that it looking for a more focused GT3 than standard. I've just had it serviced, which included brand new Alcon discs, bells and RS29s on the front, new air con rads, new coolant rad, a few new track rod ends, brake cooling duct and full set up and corner weight to Nordschleife spec - total bill of £5k - however this is the first time I've had any major spend in over 3 yrs of ownership - which isn't too bad for this type of car. It is circa 78k miles but it is well looked after and has a clean bill of health from JZM. Looking for £30k. No offers at this price and price reflects the mileage not the condition, which can only be described as very good. This is a car for driving and enjoying not for polishing and storing as an investment. It has had prior accident damage (before I owned it) but was not registered and was repaired properly with no expense spared - JZM (the leading independant Porsche specialist and look after more GT3s than anyone else) managed this process - so it was done properly - I will discuss further with anyone interested. Give me a shout if you are interested. This is an ideal replacement for a CSL - more focused and less practical if that floats your boat - certainly did mine Cheers Terry Last edited by terryb; 29-07-2012 at 10:59 AM. |

Great advertisement, so upfront & honest.
GLWS, and yes a great alternative (in fact better ) to the CSL for track duties. |
