Goodbye this..........and HHHEEELLLLLLOOOO to this
Discussion
Just sold the elise, an absolutely beautiful car it has to be said and served me very well
but this is what I've always really been after......my all time favourite 911.
Been after this car for years and finally managed to get my grubby little hands on it.....did Silverstone last week and that was a revelation...hello to all that I met there...booked up for Spa in May ( thanks Johnny Senna )...look forward to getting well n totally embroiled in RS ownership.
cheers,
jimmy

Oh wow!!!!!!! Fantastic Ben. Nice one. Cannot wait to see it at Spa.....(don't mention it by the way!!). Can't wait to have a beer in Belgium and be an utter 993 RS bore with you!
When are you in Spa? I'm there on the 25th.
We are there on the 24th and 25th. See you there!!
Hmmm not sure as to why the links aren't working..they were there, maybe as part of the " maintenance " they've been doing on the website they've pulled them off....will try again and if no luck then I'll send the pics over to you Johnny.
Yep VS...absolutely spot on...you're going to Ace Cafe on Monday aren't you ?? I'll bring a mars bar along then.
vic..just thrown a silly amount of money zymols way so hoping to keep the viagra glistening. yeah thought about that for name...Jimmy Riviera sounds like a high-brow pornstar name whereas Benny Viagra sounds like a character you'd find in one of Ben Dover's productions !
Jimmy is nickname at work...( surname Savill ) so some sense in it.
Johnny...more than happy to while away the hours extolling the benefits of 993 RS ownership at Spa..CANNOT wait for those couple of days. Might be interested in this BBS group buy...thinking of getting the speedlines re-furbed and saving for sunday best.
cheers.

Have always had a soft spot for the 993 RS/RSR, what actually is the difference between the 2, apart from obvious wing etc.. is the RSR equivalent of todays clubsport.?
Cheers

There are quite a few differences. The 993 RS CS is relatively speaking a more focussed partner to the 993 RS comfort than is the GT3 Clubsport compared to the GT3 Comfort.
The 993 RS Clubsport was called RSR in the UK, which leads to confusion with the racing versions I think, but never mind. It has a full welded in Matter cage (my favourite bit), harnesses, no carpet, engine cut off switch, the big wing/front splitter, steel syncro rings in the gear box, a shorter 5th gear (according to my handbook)......errrr, and mine has a cooling pipe to blow cool air onto the driver, situated just to the left of the steering wheel next to the engine cut out switch....did all Clubsports have this? Also, was the suspension more adjustable? Dunno. Burzel would know this.
Mine wasn't built as a Clubsport by the way, it started life as an RS Comfort and Porsche did all the above work for the first owner who must have been worth a couple of DMs.

Your profile pic is stunning mate, that really is one of my favourite 911s of all time.. had a 993 turbo a while back, just never made it into an RSR..
Am collecting the GT3 today, as long as new discs arrive, and shall be gloating later.
Cheers

If so mine's been nicked....and I WANT IT BACK
LMAO
Hmmm, so maybe not a standard feature on the Clubsport then.
