Ric, welcome to the Club. The CSR is an amazing product and will be a totally bespoke 911, for you. Years ago I couldn’t get my head around the numbers ££ until I drove one. It’s worth every penny if you’re interested in driving.
Drop me a PM with any questions or your number if you would like a chat.

Would love a heads up on what is essential on the options list and what to do without am very aware that the costs can spiral out of control when getting carried away (easily done)Drop me a PM with any questions or your number if you would like a chat.

I took the plunge last year with a 996.2 C2 and can highly recommend both the CSR and the guys at RPM. The difficulty is having the self restraint to know where to draw the line with the mods!
Pic above was from the Silverstone PHSS sometime last year (October I think). Although it's fun on the track, I found it even more enjoyable on the road. The driving experience with the aggressive diff and the lightweight flywheel was sublime and the torque of the engine and the relative lack of mass meant it was really quite a rapid car even compared with more modern Porsches.
The car is so honed and well set-up. Where is really excelled though was the handling - the steering is great on the 996 anyway but the combination of quality damping, upgraded lower arms and bushes and cornerweighting just removed all slack from the front end of the car. It was a very confidence inspiring car, especially in wet conditions.
The biggest complement I can pay it is that for my preferences, and as a road car, I found it a more engaging and rewarding car that the GT4 I've since moved on to. As you can tell I'm a big fan and although you can probably replicate elements of the CSR, there is something quite coherent about the overall package which for me at least, just clicks. Highly recommended!
Fantastic couple of hours top bloke and great set up.
Drove your old car wish was spot on...... might have to test drive a GT4 if you decided to keep it over the CSR
The CSR just felt so urgent (flywheel) and the set up had me grinning from ear to ear in no time at all I was sold instantly.
Before journeying to RPM I’d budgeted £30k (including donor car) but having had a 2 stage build spec quote to actually achieve what I want the figure including car is going to be a minimum of £40k.
Still keen just might have to re jig finances
