Doug's Porsche 996 Carrera 3.4L
Brisbane, QLDInstalled by SemCar AutomotiveJuly 2026Doug has been a repeat client, staging and budgeting different components to complete his 996 Carrera build. First we made the 3.4L breathe and respond better with a BMC high-flow air filter, Fabspeed carbon fibre airbox, XperTune software and an IPD intake plenum. Then, wanting a nice low ride height while transforming the suspension dynamics, Doug opted for TracTive Touring Line electronic suspension with the stand-alone control unit and display. The 996 never came with PASM: TracTive reacts to input in 6 to 10 milliseconds with on-the-fly damping adjustment, which is what sets this build apart from your average 996. Next on the list: a Fabspeed exhaust to liven up the sound.
“I find the drive very stable and planted. All the skittish issues I would feel before on acceleration and cornering have vanished. It feels no matter what the corner, no matter what the speed, the car will negotiate whatever is presented without fault. So, after having the system in for a few weeks I can validate the cost and install. In a word, AWESOME.”
