I wonder why they used the retro fit vs The Solution on a complete rebuild?
Leading evidence: 'Use retro fit vs the solution' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use retro fit vs the solution' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Call Flat 6 to verify its legit and then buy the crap out of that thing! If that is really a Raby rebuild, 30k is a good price to have a motor you won't have to worry about.
This engine was built several years ago, probably in 2010, or prior, and that was before I had released the IMS Solution for use in all builds- it was still an unadvertised option that was only offered to some purchasers, based on availability more than anything. These units were hand made in the early days.
Cars with my engines almost never come up for sale, so it'll be interesting to see what it brings.
So there we go. Sounds like it is indeed the real deal.
Seems to me snapping this up and getting the Solution slapped into it by a certified installer (if not the Man himself) would given a motor that will outlast the rest of the car by a considerable amount without the wait (and risk of failing pre-qual) of buying a typical one and sending it off to F6I.
I know the idea of a $30k 99 seems crazy when looking at the price of other 99s, but I think it's a good deal and would be jumping at if I was in the market. By the numbers alone Jake has hinted at the Stage 1 being around $20k and if you figure 7k for a good roller that leaves you about $3k "in the hole". That seems like a good deal to me to circumvent the long lead time, but I tend to want things yesterday
curious to see how much it sells for, I personally think you never get back any money you put in any upgrades. Good thing the car has low mileage and the 99' are now the hot ones. But if I had to buy one i would certainly buy a similar mileage car on a 996.2 car ;0 link below
That is a great deal -- analogue, six-speed 911 wth forged / billet internals. Someone should buy philoo's beauty and ship it to FSI for an elective Stage II rebuild -- GT3 with back seats and a manual transmission.
Its got the LSD, Litronics and Hi Fi Sound options from what I can see. Would be hard to chose between this and a 40th anniversary edition for the same price. I still believe the 996 will go up in value. You can already see the 996 start to go up in value if you graph average prices from the beginning to end of 2016. The analog feel and pleasure of the 996 has been lost in the new cars.
I'm a noob who has been lurking for a few months soaking up info....was not sure where to put this request and it seemed like it wasn't worth starting a new thread.
I happen to be in the LA area on business (I live in CT) and did a quick look for some candidate 996 cabs and found an ad on Autotrader.
