[Peperami]

[16v_jon]

[Peperami]

I think you might be right jon...

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope (picture isn't of the actual car in our workshop, but its the same make and model)

 

[Fred@BTM]

which one jon?

 

[AlexS]

Not sure on the car, my guess would be a porker, but more to the point is that duck tape around the exhaust surround?!

 

[BrianR]

Renault ALPINE ?

The one that looks like 996 GT3 RSR

 

[Gweebs]

Mini Cooper??

 

[Fred@BTM]

dunno whats around the exhaust on that pic, but as i said its not the actual car our guys have

hello £250k

 

[Peperami]

Am guessing the tape is to stop that happening to the rear bumper ^^

Thats gorgeous fred!

 

[davejm123]

[Fred@BTM]

thats a 996 Brian, we've got 2 of them in the workshop also! the new one is a 997

one of the 996 gt3 rsr's is for sale for £130K if anyone is interested?

 

[Tom]

Its a 997 RSR, not a 996.

Was that the one that was testing at brands a couple of weeks ago?

porsche GT3 RSR

Cheeky edit

he he :evil:

 

[Fred@BTM]

no this one is straight from the factory, they come with NO oil in the engine or trans, bloody germans!

 

[Tom]

Hand built too.

Infact its barely related to a 997, so many parts have been changed.

 

[Fred@BTM]

f**king everything! they deliver it without the injection system installed to prevent people firing the engine up with no oil

 

[Tom]

And rumour has it theres another race vairiant of the 997 on its way.

 

[Fred@BTM]

no idea, all i know is they're releasing a new box for this RSR halfway through the year with some fancy e-diff type thingy

Didn't know they did these things with diesels!

Looks amazing, that why I prefer new Porsches to old ones, the new ones are phat and mean looking at the rear compared to the slimline, dare I say feminine, Porsches of the 70s and 80s.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Brian thanks for supplying my new wallpaper!

 

[john182rs]

[jon_r]

[Dafthead]

[cK]

What are yozzasport doing to it?

 

[bradfincham]

What are yozzasport doing to it?

fitting some dsc2500 pads, a ragnotti exhaust and painting the badges orange:rasp:

This is why i hate ferraris and love porsches. The engeineering is immense.

I have a mate racing in the Carrera Cup this year and know a few people that have done and are doing supercup!

 

[Fred@BTM]

lol @ brad!!! it doesn't need a different exhaust, the one thats on there is stunning

do you know Jonny Cocker Brad?
