I agree but will probably look even nicer with the BBS GT wheels since it is kitted out with Clubsport wings.

Fongster,
Nice car.
Did the RS supplied to Singapore have the big spoiler pack as standard? I know they were standard equipment in Japan.

Cool!!!! Also, did you paint the body molding to match? If so, how was it done?

Fongster,

Beautiful car. I thought you have an M3 CSL as well? You really appreciate them nimble machines don't you? Too bad we can't get these incredible cars legally into the States.

We are practically neighbors, we should get together sometimes.

CP, you from SEA too? Malaysia or Indonesia?

I dont have an M3 CSL, but I do have a R33 in Singapore also...the M3 you are thinking about might be the M3 Lightweight in California.

Mooty,

even if I sold it to you, you wont be able to register it and drive it on the street!

Harry,

they were not supplied with the CS kit, the kit was installed after a few years...
The BBS GTs are on the wish list. I spend most of my time in Norcal, thus no reason to spend so much money on the car yet.

I noticed you still have the original steering wheel. Have you considered upgrading to the newer 996 3 spoke wheel? Are you happy with your stock wheel? Just curious. Mine feels so slippery.

Gorgeous car! You must be very happy with it.

Hey Steve

I dont really like the steering wheel from the 996, I would prefer the 3 spoke from the 993.I prefer to keep my cars as original as possible. The next set of wheels is going to be for track wheels only....

very very happy with the car..think it wtill stay for a long long time

Fong - Thanks for the quick reply! I hear ya about keeping the car original...but, I just got a 996 3 spoke steering wheel off a 2004 GT3 so when the leather airbag comes in, I guess I'll have a week or so to decide for myself whether I like it better than the 993 OEM wheel. I got such a good deal on the wheel and airbag that at least I won't lose any money if I have to sell them and keep the original.

Peace,
Steve
