993RS,

"leslie" from Singapore has a fine Midnight Blue example. <a href="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/993RSxLG.jpg" target="_blank">PICTURE HERE</a>

All the best with your much anticipated yellow 993RS. IMHO, Yellow will surely do justice to an RS. Actually your enthusiasm does it even more justice - the yellow can only help.

Phil,
Sorry for the slow response time but I am in a completely different time zone!!

1995 993 RS, RHD, Midnight Blue/Black interior, touring spec. Mileage 37.5k miles.

Rocket in the UK is the other person on this forum that I know off who has an RS. It is a Red RHD car with the club sport chin spoiler and the regular RS tail spoiler.

Isn't today (Friday) the day? Have mental images of you zooming up and down all those beautiful mountain roads and visiting 4 countries in a day after your long period of abstinence.

Enjoy! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Rocket,
What kind of spoiler do you have on that RS? Is it original or did you add the clubsport chin spoilers. Also I'd love to see some interior shots of how the real RS differs from a Carrera.

Hi 993RS,
Sorry I do not have a 993RS, but I am interested in how much grand you have spent for upgrading your '95 993 C2 to RS. I also have a '95 993 C2, I might go for it!!! Not need for exact number. How about the cost of the repaint? You can email me if you do not want everybody know.

Thanks in advance

Mav

Mav,
No problem. The engine, suspension and bodywork upgrades all together cost me in the neighborhood of $35K. The repainting job cost me about $15K (including replacing all rubber parts on the body rebuild). I know, I know, lots of money, but I did it progressively over the course of 4 years, without ever knowing where I would end up. Also, doing it little by little provided continuous excitement. Just a case of natural evolution....

I have a white RS Clubsport. Just finished the conversion. I used a slightly different 1-pc. Evo-A front spoiler, so the look is slightly different from the Cup-based cars.

There is another red RS in W. Va., a white one owned by a very shy and unassuming guy North of Philly, and a gorgeous yellow one in Atlanta that Hank C. just finished.

What are you, some sort of color fetishist?
