It is just an itch to scratch so to say ............we love Porsche but they are just too costly to push hard so are moving over to Ferrari.....

Well that's turned out nicely! Used to spring & hillclimb against a guy by the name of Woods (David?) who had a car that looked very, very similar.

Them elves in andover have done a fine job as usual,better than porsche,as porsche could not be bothered to weld the tops of the cage in the rs and cups etc.
Tony does that on his 'Matter' look cages. Some 'wised-up' race scrutineers were looking for the open tube ends and had not passed several cars in recent months.

They have done a really great job there, you would have to know these cars really well to pick up on the odd detail. wink

As mentioned in the past, the gearbox is the must change component, it will transform the car, makes so much difference over a C2, more so than the engine in my view?

RS badges??? smile

Have fun getting used to the noise and interaction, you go from a stage of enlightenment and adrenalin to needing a lie down after a few hours where you are joyously shattered! smile

Of course he would have to pick THE worst day to actually pick the thing up. Wet on the way down there and absolute monsoon on the way back. I was a tad nervous as I had no idea how my (newly acquired) 996C4S would behave in raging torrents across the carriageway - I'd have been completely bricking it the newly finished yellow monster! yikes

Fabulous. Any engine mods planned smile

I'm sure its probably more true to the light weight philosophy than even an RS but not sure it should wear the badge personally. Lovely thing though. thumbup

The engine is a 3.8 with the proper RS block (rather than the 3.6->3.8 conversion), RS clutch & flywheel.

still running in the engine but the cage has made a dramatic change ... much stiffer, much more planted and go-kart like and the turn in is a lot more precise and direct

early days but the map/smf and new engine feels a lot sharper/edgier with more guts low down

I would take the 993 and that's exactly what ive done as the GT3 is up for sale wink
