TwoHeadsTas Posted 27October, 2020 Report Share Posted 27October, 2020 My silver car has VIN ending 1202, but certainly not M003, even though it had the Nomex seats and fire extinguisher, but no kill switch. It was my understanding the original owner ***may*** have raced it - he only had it a year or so, but I haven't been able to find his name come up in any searches. Certainly the 2nd owner, who had the car for 18 years, did a few club events very early on (car had a cage put in, mk II 6 spots and single mass flywheel installed by PCM Motor Sport division - lots of $$, I have the bills 🙂 ). Not sure about airbags in the doors though....... Looking forward to the Cars & Cabernet catchup where we can compare cars and check out what features we all have 🙂 Jason A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if your cars is not a CS. It was a no cost option and gave all the bits you needed to go racing. If your seats are the original ones in the car, you only got nomex seats in the CS + engine kill switch etc. I did just that - and yes it’s an M003. Porsche Aust advised me the following re the Falken / Peter Fitzgerald car: SPC Special Colours (Iris blue) 003 CLUB SPORT PACKAGE 197 Ah Battery 567 Windshield with graduated tint 573 Air Conditioning 696 CD RADIO PORSCHE CDR220 What I was interested in, is that one of the specs on a nations cup cars I know of wasn’t M003 ... so it seems that M0003 wasn’t always the starting point for a Nations Cup Car hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RwGreeny Posted 27October, 2020 Report Share Posted 27October, 2020 It wouldn’t have really mattered what you started with. All the bits from the clubsport package would have been taken off and changed anyway except for maybe the kill switch. The nations cup wasn’t a series that required homologation. So I believe you could have started with a base Carrera if you really wanted too. I know a few people on here were involved back then so someone may be able to chime in with a bit more about the rules back then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTP was for mass production road going sports cars like WRX's, EVO's etc & Nations Cup was for what we call now days limited number super cars Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo's Jason A and RwGreeny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 27October, 2020 Report Share Posted 27October, 2020 Ok so based on the above input - seems not 14 CS cars convert- so let’s say 50 / 50 Also helps validate that there were more Comfort cars around that previously published So we are in my reckoning still well less the 40 CS cars RwGreeny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam Arnott Posted 28October, 2020 Report Share Posted 28October, 2020 Curious to get people thoughts on this one given the lack of service history in the book? Given that there is a very limited pool of these cars to choose from, and assuming that the car checks out fine from a PPI, what's the price penalty for no history? And I guess the non bucket comfort seats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might perhaps have a more thorough PPI done than perhaps otherwise though. I'd also say if you are likely to have a regular female passenger, she will thank you for the seats - as my wife says, "these seats aren't made for women with good child bearing hips" when speaking of the Recaro's 🙂 Given odo reading, and what others appear to have sold for very recently, I'd be thinking the price is not too far off the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snug and super comfy. The 997 CS seats on the other hand are painfully too narrow, I managed to wedge my pelvis into one and half an hour later extracted myself in considerable pain with serious bruises on both hips. I seem to recall @edgy was similarly afflicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Doug, I got too much of the German genetics, so turbo wide body for me (Funny I don’t complain about being “piss fit”) I am ashamed to say, I’m pants size 34-36 these days depends how naughty or nice I’ve been... I get a free vasectomy in the 997 CS (aka CGT) seats... the 996 Recaros On the other hands are the best fix back for big boys like us, plus they have the best shoulder support out of the 2 funny I have a spare set of those near new in perlon/nomex fabric if anyone’s looking 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brow Posted 29October, 2020 Report Share Posted 29October, 2020 Which seats ? Just get on board with an awesome car and enjoy the real deal first hand, these cars have a half life of 500 years if used for coffee, mates country bakery runs and club track run arounds. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
