Philbee Posted 6July, 2016 Report Share Posted 6July, 2016 hey guys,following my attempt to join this exclusive membership with a recon (& PPI) of the carsales RSR at duttons.... I've spotted another car, but just a plain old backdated RS. The price is a bit high for me but that seems to be the go nowadays. I have considered going down the project route by getting a basic stock crappy shell and then spend a motsa getting up to RSR status (dream of singer now)! But I'm not a techo so I feel it's fraught with too many risks. So to minimize me having a budget catastrophe this car has it all done, just add wide body flares & new wheels and job done. Happy days.... & Well within my limited capability... (I hope).Going to take alook this weekend... Report back next week.Oh, btw its an 87 3.2 (man coupe) with a stock 993 engine & g50 box. Sounds ok... Hope it actually works,btw,q1: where can you get 17" fuch rims in melb?Q2: do any of you melb dudes meet anytime? Love to catch up and chat about things backdated ...q3: any feedback on my approach welcome... (Thanks for helping a RSR newbie)cheersphilbee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 6July, 2016 Report Share Posted 6July, 2016 Djm - thanks matehugh - yep (how'd u know it's at the h factory?)there is a rumour going around that all the the new cars at HF are owned by a PFA member claywong (and his dad). He also owns the orange backdate that is online and a converted 930 also recently looks like it sold. They went on a massive shopping trip last year and seem to be offloading quite a few cars. Could be up for a bit of negotiation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 7July, 2016 Report Share Posted 7July, 2016 HF one a very tidy looking car. Probably wouldn't build one for that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be up for a bit of negotiation...thanks TT good rumour... I also heard something about the owner bought 2 cars and is now in Darwin. So that lines up. It's good when u have lotsa pesos to spend, eh? why buy just 1 when u can buy 2..!!so Hugh, a HF guru? Got an Austen Healey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 7July, 2016 Report Share Posted 7July, 2016 so Hugh, a HF guru? Got an Austen Healey?No affiliation, just am always keeping an eye on whats out and about. No Healey's for me although wifey does have an MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy468 Posted 7July, 2016 Report Share Posted 7July, 2016 Easy to spot their ads huh Hugh! Easy as Duttons, CTS, Lorbeks, RSR, a couple of other Sydney ones and definitely Autohaus'!! That's a nice looking car Philbee, if it's in great nic, shave 15% off and whack the cash on the table and see what happens ....everything to gain! It is a looker!

Philbee Posted 7July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2016 Thanks, I can only spot lorbek & duttons ads myself, never heard of HF before ..., thanks for the tip sandy. Hopefully, it's not just a looker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 7July, 2016 Report Share Posted 7July, 2016 Buy this, A$100k. There's the small matter of flights, shipping, reg etc but it's an RSR rep! You'll spend close to that to get a decent base 964 here to then throw LOTS of money at.http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C727742or pop over to Denmark for a more serious RSR rep:http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C693825or this, wowhttp://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C691267Doubt you'll find anything like this locally.

Philbee Posted 8July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8July, 2016 DJM, thanks for all the links but ur assuming I'm loaded! The last car Is 90k that's $180k Aussie pesos.... Oops! Plus add duty, shipping, gst., etc... Cha-Ching, there's $200k!! A little outa my league unfortunately. I'm just a worker bee!also, they look a little hard core racers, I'm a bit soft on racing side and more on the classic look with just a bit of track work on occasion. But wouldn't rule out a uk import... Never done it but can be a good saving from what I noticed on stock 997s, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 8July, 2016 Report Share Posted 8July, 2016 The first link (blue one) is A$100k (exchange rate is at 1.73). A better approximation of an RSR than the local Orange $138k ZAG backdate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy468 Posted 15July, 2016 Report Share Posted 15July, 2016 Good on ya philbee, that's a helluva pretty car. I had a really good look over it and don't know whether you paid the full whack of 130k but it smacked of quality and visual impact was absolute tops! The 3.6 with the g50 would be a good feel and whilst I thought the 3.6 looked a little underwhelming under the hood and not as pretty or suitable as the usual 3 or 3.2 zag go with, its a hot rod after all and more power on tap is always a bonus. Zag don't do much to pretty up or hot up the engines usually but a few bolt on blingy boy racer parts would make the engine bay pop like the rest of the car. Congrats mate you've hooked and landed one that stands out in the Porsche crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats mate you've hooked and landed one that stands out in the Porsche crowdthanks sandy, yeah I love the look too. I'm not a yellow or blue RS kinda guy, so this one caught my eye. And yes, the g50 with the 993 crank she's a bewt mate! Ur right, it's a stock engine & no bling but stay tune.... Things to play with & throw cash at!
