Andyoz Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Hi Lads, I'm probably about to go down the route of some slight mods to my current 987.1S. Carnewal for starters. If the right R comes up, I'll see. The cash is there. It might even be a modded one like @Frayz as I'd be totally into that I've decided ALL 987's are great cars and some are just a bit greater than others.

She's white with all the right bits (one owner) and relative moon miles (53k) --- I bought it to drive !!!

Julian987 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 By the time you get to 100K miles, the R will be classed as a bonafide classic and high mileage won't make much odds like with the 944Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be disappointed. Yes I specifically waited for one with over 50k miles. It's liberating not giving a toss how many miles I pile onto it. Loads of R's seem to being kept below 30k miles for some reason.... One Owner, Manual, Buckets, PSE, Auto A/C, Bi-Xenon It's got everything except Sport Chrono. I'm pricing adding that as I wanted one without so I could add it after and not have the dash dial thing. No short shift but I am not totally sold on that personally so I want to explore either tightening up the standard box with hardware kit (Function First?) etc. I need to try more before deciding. I liked a GT3 box someone had fitted to a 996 I tried the other week. Numeric Cables too possibly. I had considered modding my current gen 1 but I don't have the time to get it even past first base so at least with an R it's more evolution/preventative maintenance rather than ripping stuff out for the hell of it. I also came around to the idea of white as sick of washing my current midnight blue every time it gets sniff of dust. Amazing color when clean though. I plan some big multi day runs with Irish club next season. I think R really suits white with all the added black trims.

Andyoz Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 There was a 30% increase in insurance going from the 987.1S to the 987.2R. The difference in tax more than offsets that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I would highly recommend chrono, just for the sport button alone. It brings the car alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I understand it's a different throttle map and (more importantly) lets the back end move about more before PSM kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
