Congrats

[Nimerino]

Congratulations! What a lovely-looking car, well done on the spec.

I think washer painting costs £137 by Porsche Exclusive.

Amazing car, Dave. Amazing enough to bring me back to comment on a PH thread - 6 years since Whippy had a 930 now.... Indeed, you've owned it since!

Can't wait to get home to Ireland to see it...... I'll even leave you the 1989 farm LR defender the week I borrow it.... Ha ha ha ha!

Delighted for you, no bigger Porsche man on the planet!

Apart from the rear lenses I quite like this

[mhh]

I'm sorry if this was covered 3 days ago, but what does the manual say for running-in? My car arrives in 3 weeks and I'm starting to plan some trips.

[majordad]

1865 miles ( 3000 kms )

" Pref take longer trips
Avoid frequent cold starts and short distance drives
No motorracing trackdays etc
Avoid high engine speeds especially when engine is cold

Thats from page 106

GT3RS used as a benchmark in this review, for equivalent Viper vs Corvette

That Viper is so quick but you can't really use it on the road. Should buy a radical instead!

[tree7777]

Or a Gt3rs of course!!

Thanks, have you a part number for the helmet bag please?

Not on sale apparently. This was a promo gift from Porsche to owners. Seems to have shown up in many geographies though so maybe it will happen directly for you. Does not come from the dealer but from Porsche.

It will just arrive one day unannounced, it is a Porsche promo gift to RS owners, UK included.

Is the 'helmet bag' only to 918 customers?

No its for everybody.. Not sure if the gift is standard for all countries ..

Thanks for reply. Was just asking for a friend

[robgt3]

I used to have a Mick Doohan replica Arai helmet, when I decided the R1 had to go I knew that if I kept it the door would be left open for me to get another bike. If I am to recieve a helmet bag does this mean I have to buy another one?

In UK the helmet bag only for 918 customers

Brill mate thanks for reply

[majordad]

Was reading re a turbo 996 on another thread and the issues that could result after a spin on a trackday if you do not put it into neutral fast enough, what is the recommended procedure if one were to spin and go backwards in a 991 RS? On previous cars i've instantly dipped the clutch and then selected the appropiate gear , not applicable in this case ?

[tonto1]

Anyone whose done the GT3RS PEC day got any advice or info' they care to share?? I'm booked to do it this weekend and getting excited.

(Not a 991RS owner but they double booked the Gt4 and offered me the RS instead).

Depending on what you're used to driving I think I'd get prepared to be quite impressed.
I was impressed in particular with its urge, noise, handling which I thought defied it's size on the tight track, and just the general grin factor.
Try and pick a quieter time on the handling circuits if you can, personally I wouldn't waste any time on the wet areas, the low friction areas yes for a bit.
