Does it not come with the CS package already, so it's like you're trying to order a 2nd one which it won't allow ??

Ah yes, silly me, Firex must be included with CS. Thanks.

Probabaly the best post on PH this year ! I suppose it has LWB, I'm in a dilema, LWB or Reclining Buckets.

I use these Michelin Cup 2s on my 993 RSR race car and they work well, much better by far than Cup 1s . I'd think they are equal to any normal tyre in the wet.

[majordad]

They are, have you used them in the wet ? I qualify that slightly I don't mean standing water, I mean just rain. What gives you grip in rain is two equal factors, water dispersion and compound. Softer means better grip, that's why some of those Uniroyal Rainsports don't work all that well in rain.

[majordad]

I spun twice on Sunday, once I swerved to avoid contact with another car and the other time I gave it too much throttle too soon. It was not the tyres that caused the spins, it was me.

Over 30 yrs ago I rallied a Fiesta here on our Irish Tarmac. I could only afford one set of tyres and was deliberating between slicks, inters or wets. The Man from Michelin put me right, slicks which he cut a minimum pattern in. These he said would be overall best of all. The slicks got hotter easier and despite their lack of thread the warmness made them grip better when the mere token thread removed some water. Inters he said were always a looser choice and full wets only worked in full rain and then only when the full rain lasted.

Nick I think your photo captures on interesting aspect of the colour, the reflections caused by the clear coat.

[majordad]

Wow, a front cage and all, wonder what the part number and cost of that is?

[majordad]

Not many more sleeps now for you Ronan til your arrives ! I signed off the final spec for mine ( LO ) last Friday for Nov 2015 delivery

[majordad]

I started this thread, can't remember when ( I just looked it up, it's over two years ago ). I would think most potential owners would be like me in that they will keep the car for a good while and drive it for their own enjoyment. And like many owners on here I will share that experience with other PH'rs at the 2016 RS Oulton day, did that with the "Hulk" 2010 RS. Lot's of Pax laps. Spoke to God ( Melv Spear ) yesterday re Oulton 2016, only six months left we hope. it's not the best track day, it's more than that , it's life.

Saw a GT3RS on a transporter yesterday under a cover heading from Grimsby toward Doncaster.

Even though it was under a cover it was quite distinguishable with it's shape and one wheel showing.

A true PH'er would at least have got the colour, a die hard one it's engine number !

Yes I love the RS but in truth it is just to "boy Racer " .......... Looks like a GT3 racer and I am happy in one on the weekend but to drive around town ..no just a bit too much so yes the Turbo S , just do not need the look at me I am a fast driver look .... maybe just too old

I'm way older than you , and I'm getting one, but then I am a faster CSCC driver than you too !

[majordad]

= and there will be a 991 GT2

Do I really need Axel lift , is it a must ?

And does anyone know will November onwards cars come witht he new PCM 4 ?

[majordad]

Me - Lava Orange PCCBs and standard wheels

[majordad]

Just heard from my OPC that my RS scheduled for Nov 2015 production is now a Jan 2016 build. Reason given was lack of available seats , both full bucket and reclining bucket.

[majordad]

I did'nt have a build date, just a month but I felt that since they were slow to lock me in and or look for further money things were not good. I thought the seats issue was sorted ?

[majordad]

That's a bit like a negligie, you just want to whip it off and examine the body !

[majordad]

Well wear Ronan, did you do a blog this time on the ED ?

[majordad]

Seems there's one near to you Ronan ?

On a factory visit last Friday I saw about 20 RS in total, five on the line and about 15 parked waiting for delivery. Almost all were LO and LHD and one was Racing Yellow. Seems they are stting them out this month.
