Back In The RS Game

Just completed my build locks in two weeks. It’s different but I love it.

Congrats. Can’t wait to see it.

Whilst I like the LG exterior colour, I just don’t think I could ever go the whole way with the LG interior and wheel ‘lip’, regardless of exterior colour.

Were you able to get one at MSRP? If so, well done!

Looking good! You're not doing Weissach? The Lizard green is a nice touch throughout the car

Thanks all, ETA build willbe completed 10/26 arrival should be around December. Yes good deal I would say. Weissach really considered, but two problems it’s frozen on GT3’s RS because of suppliers can’t keep up with demand for GT3RS and GT2RS more demand than expected. Also not sure I would spend 18k for carbon fiber bits that add no operational value. I actually thinks it’s crazy to have 40k in add on’s ......Im good with the options I have now. The build will look killer in black with the Lizard Green interior with rim liner in green. Have to sell the Boxster Spyder to make room, the one Porsche that amazes me is the RS it’s just a special car which I can’t pass at the opportunity. M4 is gone, and I’m good with the 458 Spider and the RS as long time keepers.

Just arrived man, nice upgrade over the .1 with the little miles I have driven. This is the keeper as I spent a lot of time building this spec. Love it.

Gorgeous car; congrats. Keep you eyes open for any minor oil leak at engine oil lines or PDK. You may have to remove the rear undertray to check. Useful posts on this on RL.
