The way I read it, he’s asking about your 6GT3?

That sold in a week of 911Virgin having it. Sorry.

So that was the black one, who's is the Silver one , any one here ?

Hang on, demon is after a 996.1 gt3 all of a sudden, have you thought about how big a refresh bill would be on that

That would be a 996.2 :-) and I added it up to about a £30k spend ontop of the car to get it sorted.

A question for the wise, do 987 PCCB calipers bolt straight on to a none PCCB upright?

They must be paying you take a .1 then as surely the repair bill is more than the car

I really have no idea what you are talking about ?

Apologies if it's been posted on here before, and really not wishing to reignite the "which brakes are better?" debate, but are there any reliable statistics on just how many of the c.220 UK R's were specified with PCCBs?

On a quiet day recently, I entertained myself by obtaining a quote for retrofitting OEM PCCBs to my R. £20,500 for parts, but comfortingly (!) just a few hundreds of £'s for labour. Alternatively, that money buys a lot of yellow paint.

you can buy a full race set up front and rear for £10k, check out Richard Tippers Cayman R.

Performance from oem to PCCB in the 987.2 is worlds apart.

I would say very few cars are PCCB, 20 odd from 220 maybe, the cost was too big a % of the car really.

there is a R with PCCB,s for sale atm though.

Mogsmex beautiful manual white R has PCCBs, proper unicorn spec.
They really finish the look of the car IMO.

[ATM]

I think I saw an R leaving Scotch Corner services on A1M midday yesterday. It was white with Red lettering down the door. Or is that just a Cayman with stickers on?

[Rsx Boy]

BG Developments can make you a front set of APs with 2500pads for £2300.
Rears would be similar if you think you need rears too.

[ClioTrophy55]

R's seem currently to be selling like hot cakes. 10 on Auto Trader a week ago and now down to just 6.

I attempted to emulate that photo on my drive earlier. Missing the scenery though...

How extraordinary! There were two and the one for sale, mended, just happens to have done just 48 miles more than the one that had lots more damage than just a windscreen and wing. Now I am not at all suggesting this chap is talking sh*te. But he is.

The guy is talking crap. He hasn't even changed the wording across the adverts.

This is odd.
Ring the Dealership and they are not selling an R and don't know how the ad got online !!!!!

There was another car without Pics this morning, £45k at TH Boler. It is not on their website and has now disappeared from Autotrader

[Rsx Boy]

That is the 44 grand car on PH sales pages.
It went for SOR at Bowler.
Not sure why its been pulled so quick.
Even if it sold they don't normally pull the pics immediately. Usually marked as sold in the ad somewhere.
Strange.

[DAWSpyder]

Perhaps because it sold???
