"There can be only one" The TRS has, among other things, a 968 body and a 3.0 liter 8-valve Turbocharged engine.

How do you plan to get the rest of the RS into your 951? Lotto? Or, are you the new bank robber they are calling "Punctured Pete"?

Leave rebadging to the boyz. Men wear original equipment, or nothing at all. (except when over 50, then Viagra is acceptable)

Don't make me come up there!

Ahhh Skip, you see the difference is my car is not a 968 turbo RS. It's a 944 Turbo RS. Which never existed, but, like all RS's it will have a stripped interior, sport suspension, etc etc. One day it will have manual mirrors/locks/windows too. You'lll see.. it'll be very tastefull.

Besides, if you ever see Randy_J's car, he's got an "S" from a boxster glued next to his "turbo" on his '88 TS and it's not stock but you'd never tell unless you were a Porsche geek like us.

"Punctured Pete" More like "Pegleg Pete" robbing the bank with one leg.

Alright - I'll let it go this once. Add an "R" anywhere on the car and your *** is grass and I'm the pipe. Is that right? Grass in a pipe? Sorry, you're from Van, thought you'd know...

You should tell Randy the "S" on the Boxster means "Sissy" - he might want to rethink that move. Has he added "remove bra" to his pre-track checklist yet?

**disclaimer** - Boxsters are great - the S is even better. No Boxster owners or enthusiasts were harmed in the making of this statement. Concentrate on finding out who's Boxster Randy stole the S from

Badam-ching!
I get it too...
I better go peel my R sticker off my car...and the NOS one too I guess
I think it's pretty original...I didn't know he was doing the whole "RS" Rich Sandor thing...but, he's using OEM parts, and it's not like he's putting a Turbo badge on an NA.

Rich,

That's gonna look tasty! I have always loved that rear end on that red S2 in that pic. So, I assume you got that euro bumper from Ian?

Let me know if you have any probs getting the 951 rubber trim with the lead that Luis gave you. I talked to 2 guys on the PCGB forum that can source one for me if need be.......

(I thought that if you were from outside of the country (GB), you don't have to pay VAT)

Jeremy: I think I'm going to try sourcing a used bumper and trim from Germany. It would be the cheapest way, I think. Luis said it - there's no reason to get anything from England when you can get it from Germany for less hassle.

Brian: RedRooster is supposed to pick them up or send me a cheque for shipping. He's somewhat local, so he got first dibs, but I'll let you know if he changes his mind.

Too big, IMO. But I guess your *** will definitely stand out!

If I have to take off my "r" it will only say "Tu_bo", I thought that applied to Camaros.
