Not all varioram cars, particularly the early ones had the script. There is an entire thread on that.

 

Very nice car! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I have some of the same options on my car. These two are actually complementary:
M220 LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL 40%
M224 AUTOMATIC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

220 limited slip is the mechanical LSD we know and love. 224 is also called Active Brake Differential (ABD). It's basically low speed traction control, using automatic application of individual rear brake calipers to reduce slip. I've only ever seen the system indicator light up when I was on packed snow.

 

Very nice Toby. Great options.
Love the color

Cheers Guys

Had a great weekend, used up my first tank of petrol and generally had a blast, this car is just so much better than I imagined

Had a look at my VIN and it is a T model year, so thats a 96 then Although there is no writing on the manifold.. Cool that there's a little light under the cover tho

Time to start modding me thinks.. I was going to start with red rear indicators, and clear front lenses

Actually looking forward to driving into work tomorrow for a change

 

Very nice car. Congratulations on a great choice.

 

Hi Guys, just a quick update

Done my first mods, clear lenses and red tail lights

 

Congratulations.....hopefully you are already working on a list of desired mods (it never ends btw).

 

Looks great. You got me going there for a while because I kept looking at your rear pictures and I couldn't notice any difference than my US stock lights, until I saw your plate and realized that you are in Europe.

Folks over here would buy the orange stops to make the car Euro spec looking.

We need to organize a red/orange stop swap between US and Euro rennlisters

P.S. Is your custom plate DISCUS the sailplane? Do you fly?

 

you're my hero...great car...

i had an early usa 95 993 polar w/black until recently

 

Congrats on a keeper look forward to mod progress pics-Paul

 

Well to the authorities my plate is D15 CUS, but

It is, and I do

My main hobby is gliding, the car is a nice extra toy

I have a Discus B WL that I fly out of Husbands Bosworth, at the Coventry Gliding Club. Have some pictures of it I'll link to later

Do you ?

Toby

ps your about the first person to mention it in relation to sailplanes

 

Congrats on a beautiful car, and enjoy it with health!

Good to have another new UK Porsche owner fall on the 'right' side of the 993/996/997 debate!

Not that I'm biased or anything...

 

Great looking car Toby, it really looks in very good condition. I live near Warwick, if you ever fancy a drive out, let me know. David

 

I always loved gliding growing up. I would go on rides at a local club and dream of someday owning one. The Discus was my favorite. Then, i got into R/C gliding competition using 3 meter span all composite gliders. Mostly F3B sanctioned stuff. For fun, I had a scale 4 meter wingspan Discus that I used for slope soaring. It's a very majestic to see it in flight.

Congratulations on your great rides, air and land!
