"The 996 has been equipped with the 3.8-litre 9A1 flat-six from a 991.1 Carrera S, paired to a trick Syvecs ECU."

I can't wait to read the article/watch the video.

Jethro talks about the build for about the last 35 min here:

The 996 GT3 replica seats were made by Corbeau specially for Jethro.


Apparently Corbeau will make them for anyone, but they aren't listed anywhere on the website.

good lord that is gorgeous! Those runny egg head lights have really grown on me over the years too.

I hope we're seeing interest in the 996 platform starting to increase. It really is the bargain 996 with a much higher performance ceiling than the previous generations.

As for this build, all I can say is WOW!

I figure the discussion of this one went somewhat like this:

"Hey is it possible to put a 991 drivetrain in a 996"

Everyone's answer - "No that would be too much effort. Better to just buy a 991 and be done with it."

Jethro's answer - "Step aside and watch this..."

First one is always the hardest to pave the way, similar to swaps in VW's/Audi's, then once some documentation gets out and solutions for some of the tough hang-ups then things take off like crazy. Absolutely agree Fernando with the 996 platform offering a great base for a build/hot rodding as seen with Jethro's build.

Slightly biased towards 996s

It's a fantastic swap in my opinion. I feel this is one of those.....beauty is not skin deep. To me it looks better knowing what's under the hood.
