When is a Clubsport Not a Clubsport

We need a like button on here, that 993RS looks superb!

Everything you wanted to know about 968’s but were too scared to ask.

The whole sport vs CS was covered in depth on the forum over there too.

Half the people on this PH thread are on 968UK me included.

The seats changed in the CS around March 93 so you could look at it that the 993RS had 968CS seats

I dont know if the early 964 Speedster had the same issue with sprung v unsprung seats. They show as sprung in the brochure and both were launched at the same time (Oct92). There were perhaps supply issues with Recaro.

Model year 1993 (Build date Oct92-July93) is CUP1 wheels and NO option to put rear seats in the car (wp0zzz96zps815xxx)
Model year 1994 onwards (Approx Sept93 onwards) CUP2 wheels (wp0zzz96zrs815xxx, wp0zzz96zss815xxx)

Or you could fit a pair of 968 CS seats into your 993 RS (just as I did)

Very nice!

A dealer bought a white 968CS at silverstone auctions last year and did the same thing in a silver 993. He then stuck Recaro Classics in the 968

It was Ashgood, some plonkers did a review of the car on Youtube. Previous owner from some time back was kicking about on Facebook or here not long after, it had the buckets then, he was using it on track a fair bit.

I think he sold it years ago, so he's probably missing it.

It is, but WTF it's doing in Front Engined Porsches and on a 968 thread I don't know?

It’s ok he drove it in backwards

[Waylander]

Ouch, that went in backwards too

[Waylander]

Talent ran out then!

I see another Black Sport, a car I know well, being sold with 1 of 179 cars in the blurb

It has the grey Clubsport stickers on the car, and I personally know 3 of the previous owners

It’s a Sport one of 306, not a Clubsport

If I remember this story correctly, it was severe aquaplaning on a dead straight dual carriageway during heavy rain. The Lotus did exactly the same thing 5 minutes after the 968 and neither car hit eachother

[Waylander]

If conditions are that bad slow down, not rocket science

Here’s another one that looks like a wrong ‘un

[Waylander]

and here is a real **ss take, a coupe sold as a sport cos its got buckets and a stuff

mind you don't pay to much,

the sport chassis number started on PS, this car is a NS so a plain old coupe.

Buyers beware, there are some rear crooks trying to open your wallets for a good robbing

Interested to know what draws you to that conclusion.

Take a look at the images of the car in the magazine article that’s included in the gallery.
Car has no rear wiper and is on silver cup1’s - you can also just about make out that it has the blanking plug in the rear pu.

Now look at the images of the car in its “current correct state”
- cup2 wheels - in 911 size 7” fronts not the correct 7.5”
- rear wiper switch in the centre console
- key hole in the rear PU.
- the car doesn’t match the option sticker

And why does a 80k mile 968 need a full glass out paint job?

Many thanks having owned mine since 2005 I'm still amazed at how little I know and the knowledge of others.

Morning all

I have owned a 968 CS (A968 POR) black with red sidewinders and a few years before that, a black Sport that we rollcaged and used for trackdays

despite that, I'm quite confused myself!

is this a genuine "proper" CS

seems like it is, M030 etc
