Where can i buy the Excellence issue with the Rothmans Cup from France ?

Is there a website to place an international order ??

Thanks

Because you're a Rennlister, and because I lust after your Cup car, and maybe even because I just searched the boards to get 7 of your videos to watch... I can scan it and send it over to you. If you have a high speed connection and a large email account, I can send them high quality, or otherwise lower quality.

Asarus... you're a lucky man. Do you happen to have the official number of Cups made?

EDIT... after a recount (hanging chads DID repeat in '04!) I have 9 clips of yours

I am selling my Cup car, French spec 305HP, loads of spares. Buying a house...

shortyboy

dont you just love open exhausts w/open wastegate?hahahah i should know!hahaha...thanx for the heads up

Asarus

It's pretty hard to know the exact numbers of Cups made.. as many sources are differents..

But according to several "good" sources, it should be approximatively the following numbers. If not exact, it may be pretty close from the truth i think...

* 1986 (Turbo Cup 220 bhp)
RoW 43 (chassis numbers not specifics)

* 1987
RoW 88
Canada 11

* 1988
RoW 35
Canada 38

* 1989
RoW 25 (chassis numbers not specifics)

This car is really interesting, it was one of the factory car for the French Trophy. I've seen GeorgeK and his car a few months ago and can tell you it's a good car with a lot of great value spare parts !

I need a sound clip of a 4" exhaust!!! If anyone could post one I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm with chris, I'm dying to hear this. I'd also love to see a video. In-car with boost gauge, out of car on the track, whatever. I just want to see it in action

Seb, what exhaust do you have your car?

Peckster

Are all the Rothmans cars Canadian, or did they run that series in the US too? Did they sell Rothmans ciggies in the U.S.?

The series was only in Canada in North America.
I believe there was one in South Africa and I believe one in Germany ?
I guess there was one in France ?

PS I had bought a # of parts from Canada when the series ended

Just to let y'all know, and this is sort of letting the cat out of the bag a bit early... I may have a source for a 4" stainless steel oval exhaust system, from the downpipe back for 951's. It ain't gonna be cheap, but it will be nice. Don't bother pm'ing me yet, its still early. When I am ready to share info on this, I will it post here.

After reading that article, I am darned glad I picked up that Turbo Cup hood I have when I did... Has anyone heard from Sean, the guy that picked up Al Holberts 951 Turbo Cup car lately?

Regards,

944 Turbo Cup trophy :

Germany : 1986 (220 hp) and 1987 to 1989 (250 hp)
France : 1987 to 1989 (250 hp) and 1990 (300 hp)
South Africa : 1988 / 1989 ? (hard to know)
Canada : 1988 to 1990 (1986 and 1987 were the 944 Rothmans NA series)

My genuine exhaust is fully free but certainly not in 4" diameter. It has the standard diameter (2,5") and it was the case for all french cup cars.

In Germany, they got the catalytic converter for the race, and a rear muffler i believe... It was the first race car to run with it and was a big test for the catalytic converter

For the Canadian cup i already heard about a Walker 3" exhaust for the race... ?!?
