Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?
What about this 3.0L 1990 S2? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...-842107346.htm

I mentioned this car to Kev the other day, thinking if you paid $10K for this you would have $25K to build up a new car like Neils in RHD, instead of buying a tired one for just under $30K and then needing to spend another $5-10K sorting it.

It could work as a defined class with rules, as could 944s if there were a few more of them.
Sam - if you are serious about a 944 racer then make sure you talk to Kev as I'm sure he knows pretty much every S2 that's available (ones that have already had work done.) Pretty sure Rob Dong in Wtgn knows of a few as well.
You wont notice it on road though your speedo may now read wrong so you should calibrate it mentally again against your GPS. If you were on the track you would notice a difference. I changed my rear tyres on the 993 to a wider fitment due to lack of Z221 in 265 when i needed them and I definitely noticed the different gearing. After all these are the driven wheels. That said I went to the same 275 tyre on the road wheels for the 993 from 265 and noticed no real difference at all....
Thanks John. I shouldnt have sold their shares last month!
We are planning a holiday later this year to Australia for 2-3 weeks. I think that's the only practical way to spend AUD :-)
GT2 - 996 or 997
Hi everyone.
I'm keen to buy either a 996 or 997 GT2. If anyone knows of one that could be available it would be fantastic if you could Let me know. My phone number is 021 555 705.

Matt

How did the new tyres feel on the run today Doug?
I'm not sure one Store's sales would be an indication of overall demand but I spoke to a Taiwanese born employee and he said the Mainland Chinese were very rude, in part a cultural difference. They push in to conversations and demand to buy because they are worried the store will run out. Sounds like demand outstrips supply in some countries.
Porsche WGTN had a stunning black 997 GT2 in there for ages but I think thats moved on now.
This is the yellow one http://www.rapidradio.co.nz/Porsche-996-GT2(389).asp
The black one http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=nz
Although the plates are different I think this is the same Yellow GT2. I wonder how many are in the county. I'm aware of 2 x yellow, 2 x silver and 2 x black unless some of these are double ups. There was a Silver GT2 CS for sale a year or two ago.

If it's the black on gloss black wheels one you're thinking of it still lives around WGTN though. It gets out and about. Saw it yesterday leaving the Phoenix game down at the Hutt Rec. In absolutely immaculate condition!

P.s. - I see they are starting to skyrocket in the UK now...........Used to be $50K, now they are $80K..........
Apples & Oranges. Caymans built for racing wouldn't be in the same class as the 944s. Would be a big step up in $ but not enough to take on the 997/991 GT3 Cups. Potentially a bit too in between.
It could work as a defined class with rules, as could 944s if there were a few more of them.
Sam - if you are serious about a 944 racer then make sure you talk to Kev as I'm sure he knows pretty much every S2 that's available (ones that have already had work done.) Pretty sure Rob Dong in Wtgn knows of a few as well.

I can also see the appeal of something with a bigger initial outlay which has had the work done already, and hundreds of hours tipped into it, and your time and money is better spent on setting up and dialing in the car.
