997.1 GT3, can you retro-fit the Clubsport pack?
And any idea on what the cost is? (Cage only)
Thanks Tom

I'm sure you could buy and install all the parts if you really wanted, but for the full factory CS pack you would also need the lightweight fire retardant covered bucket seats, and battery isolation switch prep I think.
Personally I think if you wanted the CS version , I'd try to be patient and take the time to find a factory one if possible.

The cage is going to be in the ball park of £2k fitted on a 997 I believe, so if you want it, buy one that has it. It will cost you £300+ each for harnesses on top of that too.

+1. You will spend thousands getting it to CS spec and will not get your money back when you sell as it will be an altered car. There should be a fair few hitting the classifieds now track season is over.

Thanks all, just checking I was not missing a trick!

you have to drill holes in the floor of a non CS spec car if you want to add a cage. Then the seats could cost 2k+

I was going to get a clubby but realised for what I actually needed - bit of comfort, decent luggage space for euro trips etc a Comfort was more suitable.

Try both then decide. Plenty of choice at the moment.

Just do it and put us all out of our misery! You won't regret it!

Wouldn't bother personally, unless you want to track the car a lot. And then you should get a RS.

Perfect combo for me is a GT3 with folding buckets but none CS. I can use it a lot more ferrying round kids with sports kit at weekends so it spends less time sat in the garage.

I must be wrong but my understanding was that there is so little difference in 997.1 gt3 CS's that it was a no cost option from new so therefore holds no premium over a gt3 with factory bucket seats. frankly i wouldnt want a fire extinguisher in there. maybe a roll cage but thats it right?

Another thread? What happened to D day?

There are 6 threads. Good luck finding the correct one. D day is next weekend (again).

Clubsport pack was a no cost option, BUT, it could only be specced with the factory buckets, which I think were 3.5k?

I believe it consists of cage, drivers harness (not fitted) and fire extinguisher (not sure about battery switch?).

Chrono Package.

This optional package is a
valuable addition to the 911 GT3
models for trackday and
competition use. Available in
conjunction with the CDR-24
CD radio, it includes a swivelmounted
analogue and digital
timer unit which is centrally
located on the dashboard. All
functions are easily accessible
via the control stalk for the onboard
computer. Analogue dials
measure hours, minutes and
seconds, while a separate digital
field displays whole seconds,
tenths and one hundredths of a
second. A second digital display
runs in parallel in the instrument
cluster.

Chrono Package Plus.

The optional Chrono Package
Plus is only available in conjunction
with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM). The system
combines an analogue and digital
timer unit with a range of useful
functions. Lap or journey times
can be viewed, stored and
analysed using the performance
display in PCM. The information
available includes time elapsed
and distance travelled on the
current lap, as well as the number
of laps completed and their
respective times. You can also
view the current fastest lap and
remaining range till empty. Driving
times can be recorded for any
stretch of road, and benchmark
times can be defined. Other
useful features include a personal
memory function, controlled
via PCM, which stores personal
preferences for a range of
systems, including lights, wipers,
door locks and air conditioning.
