My new to me 7.2 RS and personal build thread
I acquired my first PORSCHE, a 997.1 GT3, in 2009 and did a few mods
https://teamspeed.com/forums/showthr...48#post1227648
I wasn't planning on selling, but a great person and newly acquired friend inquired about my GT3 and bought it sight unseen in April this year.
I was GT3less and was in a constant battle with myself to either stay on the list at my nearest dealer and get the 2014 GT3 or find a used 997.2 RS.
In June 2014 I found the ONE.........
Found this gem at PORSCHE of MELBOURNE in FL on AUTOTRADER......
2011 PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS
Carrara White/Black leather Seats
Options:
28 Black leather seats (GT2 seats with alcantara inserts)
346 Wheels painted Silver
600 Lightweight Headlights (No HID and no nipples on front bumper)
619 Bluetooth Phone Interface
810 Floormats in Interior Color
870 Universal Audio Interface
B4 Carrara White
ZBU Audio System package
ZCL Central Locking Wheels
ZLR Lightweight Battery
Car also came with RSS bypass and RSS half cage with Schroth Harnesses.
Vehicle was also CPO'd by dealer :evilgrin:
I called the next day and after about 30 min purchased the car.

I received the car from transport in the end of June and added the Euro Clubsport/CGT seats, the CUP front lip spoiler, and the side extensions that connect the cup lip to the inside of the bumper (Thx Trakcar for the tips on installing the side extensions)
Early July I took the red lipstick off and also took the red checkered flag and GT3RS graphics off from the fenders. Dont need to advertise the car..... the car speaks for itself
End of July was the installation of the CUP wing

Early August I acquired my Akrapovic sports cup exhaust from my prior car since it didnt suit the new owner well.
I decided on the OEM clubsport cage from GERT @ CARNEWAL. Luckily I was able to pick the full cage up before the price increase from PORSCHE. Received cage from Belgium early August and was able to get cage stripped of black powdercoat, powdercoat in white, and fully installed last week.
