Default RSA questions

Can you install a C2 motorized spoiler and cruise control on an RSA?

Tried search but it is currently down.

It's been done before, I've seen it on at least two cars. I know my RSA has the wiring for the rear spoiler in the engine compartment.

I saw a supposed RSA for sale that had these options. I think it must be a fake.

Is the seller claiming it came from the factory without the tail? I have seen an RSA with no tail before.

Personally I like the look of the 964 without the tail. Maybe the seller is sick like me...

You can tell by the VIN whether the car is an RSA or a Carrera 2. It's not an "option" BTW, it is a modification.

If its white....that car has been subject to the same conversation about a year ago when it sold. But to answer the Q...yes, you can put a standard deck on an RSA...and I agree, looks better.

Yeah but it is less than 6 pounds difference. I can definitely feel the difference with the RSA tail vs the electric tail. It is about the same difference as driving a C2 without the rear tail operational which can be significant at higher speeds.

I believe the car you saw for sale was purchased by a fellow rennlister and is now in Ireland.
