993 rs lightweight or clubsport
Discussion
Loved your GT2, JC, remember it at the Ring in 2005/6 something like that.
And Yellow491, great fun racing the 993 Cups and RSR in the Open around the same time. Still have any of your 993s?
>>Any more stories and/or photos you can share of the RSR, and Cup in particular, would be most welcome.
October 2007 - my Cup car in front, jimmyslr who got the bargain of the century with his 996 Cup for pennies, and RC in his amazing car which still seems to be going strong in GT Cup every now and again.
Took the RS and RSR to the Ring, drove the RS but had the RSR transported over on a truck. Can't remember what happened to the RS the pads were shot or something as we set off home, so called the truck driver who was in Belgium at the time, asked him to stop and met him. Swapped cars, and drove the RSR home with jimmyslr. One of the most epic and nuts drives I have ever done, we still giggle about it to this day

Great to see some of the seasoned owners and the cars I remember at Track Days and PCGB meets 20+ years ago. I have a pic of the 993 RS and Clubsports somewhere when new at AFN London showroom. Think someone on here had the 'bloody doors off' the Purple CS. Had my car 16 years this year and still love it, no longer has outings to Spa or Ring, but that is down to the driver getting older not the car.

Three of the seven IIRC. A black one was totalled.
9M bought the salvage and bits of it ended up being built into the road going RSR built for WT Doom.
So 4 left possibly, probably all in Asia. 9M bought the salvage and bits of it ended up being built into the road going RSR built for WT Doom.
He was good fun with it-maybe around 2008?clubsport said:
I met Matt with the cage cut out a few times over the years, a larger than life chracter with some interesting tales.
He was from Chilham near Canterbury and met his end in a way you might expect from his lifestyle. Rip.

I remember the doors,i sold the lightweight glass out of them last year helping put a nice car back on the road.Good to hear you still have your car,some great times,shame they all had plastic dashes,ltd air con etc,effects the values terribly
I think one of the tings that impressed me most about these air-cooled RS cars was how easy they were to own and use. A credit to Porsche ... even little things that would break or get lost were available inexpensively from the OPC parts department ... and that's where my relationship started with my local OPC ... aided and abetted by my local Indie ...
