Evo Triangle, traffic's not too heavy so "going continental" isn't too much of an issue ! !

Your strut brace is the same as on my 964RS. Always wondered this: do you know if it's a Porsche part or other German tuner?

The brace on the 993rs M003 is the same as the 964rs and is a 964 part. It is made for POrsche by Heigo in germany.

Cheers. So was this particular strut brace an OEM option when buying new or an aftermarket add-on? I've seen loads of different strut braces in '64RSs and always wondered whether the design we're discussing was the 'genuine'.

I'm not certain about the 964rs but on the 993RS it was an option on the M002 RS and standard equipment on the M003 clubsport RS.

I think there is a 993 turbo S strut brace as well fitted as standard but that was a carbon fibre affair so completely different.

Standard on Clubsport 993 RS, optional on all other 993 RSs.
As for the 964 RS, none of the pictures in the Service Information Technik show a strut brace fitted, neither is any mention made of one anywhere.

I fitted Gemballa items to both of my 964 RS Lwts, they were either a rip off of the factory 993 RS part engraved (tastefully for Gemballa !) with their name, or a 964/993 generic part made by Heigo and sold to the likes of Techart, Gemballa etc. The items I fitted were anodized black and the Gemballa name was engraved in (so it stood out in bright silver)

That'd be about right, I solod it in 2005 just as the prices were heading North . . . . .

Indeed, I spent rather a lot on it (in the process it became a garage queen and that reduced my ability to have fun in it. Never again . . . . )

Beautiful car, Slippy.

And great wheels - are those BBS LMs? If so what size, width and offset?

(Sorry for thread hijack...)
