Just to add to the colour combo examples. Here's my new metallic black Touring with satin black wheels and black trim. Very black! :)

Thanks for posting your car, looks stunning! This is almost identical to my current spec (I have another couple weeks to finalise), only I've specced the folding buckets. Please post up some more when you can.

Just finished a fun two days with the crew from Total911 magazine shooting a cover story on my GT3 Touring and my 964RS. It was months in the planning. We covered 400kms of test driving plus photography. Keep an eye out for the April issue.

^^^awesome and congrats. You couldn't have picked a better color. And we'll overlook what looks like your trunk being left open for the pics.

Hi, liking the build Woozie. Can you confirm if you did the leather extension over the steering column and dash.. looks like it ? Did you also do the transmission tunnel ?

Your cars look fantastic Chris!
Comparing the two would make a very interesting read. Looking forward to it.

Cheers,

The focus of the story is going to be mainly on the Touring. It was the first time they had driven one so I think you will find some of their comments quite surprising. Some of the photos they took were awesome. We had my Macan Turbo as the camera car so the photographer was hanging out the back and standing up on the seat shooting out of the sunroof in -3C.

Looks like (cold) fun. Will be interested to read the article as there haven't been many on the Touring. I know its essentially a GT3 with manual box but will be interesting to read about it while on touring duties.

I had a 964 RS many years ago. Bought as a cheap track slag would you believe and used without mercy. What a great car.

Chris3963 02-25-2018 09:59 AM

I think you are going to be very surprised at how different the Touring is to a manual GT3. They say they haven't changed anything, I say BS.

It ride betters, it steers better and the exhaust sound is completely different...in a bad way.

In a regular GT3, there is a distinct difference in the sound of the exhaust when you hit the PSE button when cruising. It goes from loud to reasonably quiet...such that you can easily undertake a long distance cruise without being annoyed by the loud exhaust.

In the GT3T there is no difference between the PSE on or off at cruising speeds.....zilch.....none.....zero. And it's a totally different sound compared to the regular GT3. I do not know what they have done to the exhaust...but it's different...very different...in a bad way.. In fact, the drone at 140 kph is terrible and you cannot get rid of it.

So the GT3T is a great back roads car...but definitely not a long distance touring car. Porsche got 90% of the car incredibly right but and an important, emotional, 10% of the car wrong. We are still scratching our heads why??

Have you taken the Touring to your dealer have the solenoids and exhaust valves checked out? I guarantee you there is some issue there or something not connected properly.

odwa 02-25-2018 10:24 AM

^ I agree. The vacuum line has most likely slipped off the solenoid, happened to me.

+1! Something is not working correctly if you are experiencing as described.
