Jackels old 993 RS rep is back up for sale......
- Thread starter jonttt
- Start date
Probably one of the closest replicas to a genuine RS (RS engine) but the lack of a/c and carpets makes it less attractive for regular use, even so it's a lot cheaper than the genuine article. It was also an inspiration for my build, I didn't go so extreme but it would have been cheaper to have bought this car than convert mine. Personal estimate cost around 6k+ for a/c (diy) and full Southbound carpets and headliner.

I've sat inside a club sport.
A guy called club sport had one.
Same spec as this car.
It's like sitting in a biscuit tin
Your voice is harsh in it
And that's without it running.
It a racing car
Jackals car is just about as near as your going to get to the real thing apart from his car being cleaner, and being in better condition mechanically.
The club sport is painfully to drive. And I mean it hurts.
It's not a knocked up 964RS copy
I've done one of them, it's a piece of cake, and if Rich had done one of them it would have had mags on it. That's how close his tolerances are
Having said that, these are collectors cars, and therefore all about provenance
I'd consider softening it to make it less painful.
Lose the harnesses and cage and putting some sound deadening pads carpet and roof lining.
Very nice at that money and super quick.

The chap you speak of still has the CS. 
The "replica" was very well done and thought out.
Side by side it was compared to a factory CS, there were quite a few differences. Most of that would be down to additional cost that would probably not give that much additional benefit or enjoyment to the car?
At the end of the day with these cars when do you decide you have spent enough money.
Especially when most people don't know the specific details and what a real one looks like.
