Show us the door cards!!

 

996 RS rear cage has mounting points for door bars. Then you will need the reinforced "race" front cage that includes door bars. FVD still has these for sale.

I have never seen factory installed door bars in CS cage though..

 

The car is undergoing a full ground-up resto at present but I managed to snap these at the workshop today.

 

The side intrusion bars came with the cage in series I CS cars if you bought the OEM front cage. The Series I never made it to the US.

 

Where are these from?, really interested in a RS type door card but Cargraphic are only manufacturer I've found.

 

Sorry, I don't know the supplier. My garage had them lying around and fitted them up with the door pulls. I think they were from Germany in the early 2000's so probably lost in the mist of time.

 

I didn,t even know you were a member here Warwick ,,,,great to see another Cams supersprint member on here ...............

 

Not sure that is correct - I have an early 996.1 CS registered to Olaf Manthey - fully caged, and yet no door bars. Also, very strange - aluminium doors with no impact beams inside...

 

I don't know either. The cage is a bolt-in Porsche item and has the the take-off mounts for the door bars on the rear section and down near the floor on the front section....just the same as on my GT4 OEM full cage which I ordered new with the car. Olaf is likely to have made his own cages. I noted one in a 996 of his in Nurburg village when I was there in July and the cage looked like a custom jobie to me.

 

Is that Adam S lurking here? I retired the GT3 from comp this year (after acquiring the new black beast) and promptly hit a wall at Bathurst in a regularity event (of all things). I've since decided to do a full restoration it as it has brought me so much sheer joy over the years I've owned her.

 

Yes its me Mate seems to be few of us State supersprint members floating around on this sight ,,I am also a 911 owner but perfer to run the little Orange car as its running cost are so low ,,,I didn,t know about the mishap with the Lambo sorry to hear that ,,last time I saw her was at Wakefield when I snaped this photo of you arriving for the day ,,,best wishs on the repair work on the beast it certainly is a mind blowing car .............

 

'twas the porker that had the incident (well I actually had the incident the GT3 was just along for the ride). Lambo is fine; though I missed three events this year. I am running it at Bathurst this week in the 2 day sprint event and will run my GT4 over the weekend in regularity. GT3 should be back together by Christmas ...maybe.

 

Upping a very old thread, but we are after fitting more rubber on a 996 GT3 mk2, and it seems that the 997 cup rims may be a way to go. It already has central locks and 996 cup rims.

Were you able to fit more than 295/30 and 235/40 with no issue ? (the championship this car is run in requires the use of Michelin Sport Cup 2 only...) what size did you fit ?

Thanks in advance

Cedric

 

I realise it's an old thread but what width are these cup wheels? I assume I'll need the cup hubs etc. rather than just the centre lock conversion that can be bought from Porsche?
