996tt Ownership and fixes on YouTube

hallvardr · 02-20-2021, 05:17 AM

I have made a YouTube channel that will follow the ownership of my 2002 996tt. The first films are already uploaded now, and I plan to release one per week showing improvements, fixing the car and ownership experiences.
Forums like this, and other YouTube films are brilliant when it comes to sharing info and find solutions for problems. So I hope I can contribute to that, and that people here will find it useful and somewhat entertaining.

I hope that as many as possible will subscribe so that I will be able to keep the films coming, it would be highly appreciated!
Here is a link to my channel: Norwegian Car Guy

And here is my car:

This looks great! I'm about to buy a 2002 turbo. It's modified to 600HP so we'll see what happens. The work was done by Keven at UMW in Seattle. The body has 83k miles, but it has a 30k mile turbo S engine w/ GT2-RS intercoolers and new 16/24 turbos, ECU tune, etc. The ENTIRE suspension has also just been replaced with B8 Bilsteins and H&R lowering springs, plus all-new upper and lower arms, tie rods, and poly bushings. I'll keep an eye on your posts for reference.
Thanks!

Very cool! Congrats!
I hope and believe you will get a lot better deal than I have. But hopefully I'll get most of the repairs out of my way now and be able to enjoy the car for a long time without too many big expenses coming. Post some pics!
