AngliaWestie Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi, Regretting letting the Westfield go (even though it eventually did make its way back to it's spiritual home!!) and so looking to move the 911 on in order to get back into a Westy. I bought the Porsche on New Years eve and since having it it's been perfect. PIE Performance Porsche Specialists in Suffolk have been looking after it for me and I have a pretty comprehensive folder of previous history which includes a full engine rebuild at 60k miles by Porsche Cambridge. I have also spent a significant amount of cash this year on replacing the control arms, diff seals, some bushings where required and then fitting a brand new Quicksilver exhaust system which is awesome sounding!! (see link below for promo video the car was used for to publicise the Quicksilver system). All work documented and receipts etc. https://fb.watch/7yhU_tcsfL/ Aside from the mechanical work I have also fitted a Apple Carplay/Android Auto compatible JVC headunit with full handsfree and DAB aerial. I also had PIE expertly upgrade the Steering wheel, Gear knob/gater and handbrake with Alcantara with contrasting yellow stitching. The original Porsche headunit and DVD navigation drive are still with the car if wanted. The Cat C came from the passenger door being opened onto a cyclist passing on the inside which folded the door back onto the front wing. This was all repaired and taken care of by the previous owner who ran his own garage/commercial vehicle rental business. I have had PIE go through the car fully in order to ensure a clean bill of health. The second generation of the 996 has the larger 3.6L flat 6 and the variable valve timing giving it way more useability across the range of the engine. It really is a pretty effortless car to enjoy and has fulfilled the job for me of being a seriously fun car that I can also get the wife and kids in when needed! I've done a few longer motorway runs and achieved over 33mpg which is astonishing in something that goes and sounds like it does. As I've now updated my daily to a rear wheel drive 840i the Porsche is getting used less and I would love to get back in a Westy with a view to doing a lot more track time and getting involved in the Sprint series etc. It's on 81k miles but that will continue to increase while advertised. Major Service has just been completed (15/9/21) at PIE Peformance as well as Coil Packs replaced. MOT is due on Dec 31st and previous pass was with no advisories. Any questions let me know and will add more info as it comes to mind!! Looking for £15,500 which is reflective of the Cat C status however the car is straight and the biggest support I can give to that is a) the guys at PIE are first class and gave it a full bill of health and b) I've been driving my kids around in it for the last 8 months!! Obviously also very open to trades for a Westfield so please feel free to contact me with what you have!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezergs Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It's an obvious question but has the bearing and seal been upgraded changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
