Two questions from a new boy!
Done 996 and 997 and just bought a 964 RS Fantastic!
I would like to have a go at some track days. Can anyone reccomend one to get me started please?
Also where is the best place to get mag wheels refurbed?
 
So welcome young Nick you have at last found a real Porsche to drive.............(did you try a 993RS? I am told they are lots of fun too!)

Track Days: Bedford.......loads of fields and hardly any Armco

Wheels: Diamond Styling about 100 squids a wheel


So wot ya got and from where etc..........tell us more?
 
So its a 1992 Maritime blue and was owned by Malcolm Butt from Bristol. 56k kms.
Please dont tell me I have bought a bag of spanners! I only found the 964 RS register after I got the car.
I started off looking for a 993 RS great to drive but once drove a 964 I changed my mind.
Where are Diamond Styling?

lhd or rhd Lightweight/clubsport/touring what spec bhp mods etc........
 
Its a lhd lightweight with an amd chip and full cage but thats about it.
Its about 280 bhp. All I need is some good weather. Its snowing here right now!
 
Sounds a nice package Maritime Blue, AMD, lightweight can't go wrong but be careful young Nick these cars can bite like an unpredictable dog....you think it's a friend and lands you in a ditch.......remember on the 964RS those initials meant excatly that they spell BEWARE........THIS IS A TRACK CAR adapted for the road not the other way round........unlike it's successors.....treat it with caution on the road and stay focused....enjoy and watch your tyre pressures[:)]

Surely Nickp is a ficticious character dreamed up by Des so he can use him to wind up all other Porsche derivative owners[;)][:D][:D]

Sounds nice Nick - great colour - hope to see you on track one day..

The truth is in the driving as WE ALL KNOW...........even Paul GT Classics and his German Partner Herrr Schmits have admitted it's their favourite fix.....[;)][:D][:)][;)][:D]

Regarding Diamond Styling - I had only heard really good things about them until very recently. Then I heard a negative from somebody I would normally trust. However, I am sure its a misunderstanding BUT, who out there has had mags restored by them and how long ago?
 
Nick, hi.

Had my mags changed from silver to metallic black about three years ago by a company called Pristine Wheels in Woburn Sands. Dropped the car off on Saturday morning, picked it up the following Saturday.

Total price was just over £500 inc vat, which included £6 a wheel for painting the crested centres.

Still looking good now! Not heard any bad vibes about them.

Regards
Martin
 
Hi Nick,

Glad you found a car. You were still on my list for a 993 RS, guess you're off that now. Didn't realise you were looking for a 964 RS. I wanted to buy the one you've just bought, but when I saw it I realised it used to be a Pink C4 Cabriolet. [8D]

Sorry sad joke. Nice car, really wanted it for stock.

Have fun with it.
 
Oi! Paul ! this is just like that johnny senna , dropping into our 964RS forum for a bit of cheering up , when you've got your own place to go to . OK , its probably the tension and the nerves showing for the 993ers as Judgement Day approaches and Des burns the midnight oil on a Continous Improvement Program for D5RSR [:D]

I thought 964 were sad any way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have now had final download and reprogrammed ecu from my factory guru.......would guess on a quick fieldtest that I'm up from 300BHP absolutely awesome also bearing in mind much lighter chassis with a lot of deletions..the weather will have a big part on times and particularly the softer 993RS's on an uneven airfield...we can hope that their complicated varioram will be out as usual (Colin will replace this for you £3000) and that their muti-link will give massive oversteer.........no really guys really look forward to locking horns with one of Porsche Finests in Porsche's Finest........WEATHER FORECAST still showers should be very interesting........


L E T 'S R U M B L E..........

We 964RS boys could be airborne see below.......
