Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I've been told this groups pretty good but searched for it using '
Leading evidence: 'Use '' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use '' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Bit of a leftfield choice, but I'm being drawn to this 996 CSR C4S at RPM Technik:
https://rpmtechnik.co.uk/sales/vehicle/996-c4s-csr
I talked to them today and it does sound intriguing. I've been looking at regular manual 996 C4S's and they are nice, but not quite 'special' or 'different' enough. I tried a Turbo but I guess I'm more of a NA-guy.
I started looking at 997.2's and they are also not really doing it for me. There's quite a few round driving around. I want something a bit more exciting as a road-driving weekend toy (plus some city driving). I'm also considering a manual 997.2 GTS, but these are rare and even more expensive.
But yes it's very expensive for a 996, and yes it's got limited resale market. But I figure a really good 996 C4S will be around £30-35k after I've got it properly sorted to my standards, so end of day it's not that crazy with all the usual bits already done plus all the custom extras. And RPM have a great reputation.
Any thoughts on this one?
Looks nice
I see what you mean about the value but I would want to know if the usual
Radiators
Condensers
Suspension bushes
etc etc had been done
Also what is the IMS upgrade they do? 997 Larger bearing or something else?
I went to visit them via PCGB modified register meet last Autumn. The whole team there have a great passion for the marque and are building a reputation on their builds. Not driven any, but by all accounts are fabulous. Their latest 996 track focused CSR is simply beautiful.
The other option would be to buy a donor car and then spec as you want with their expertise. I believe they are limiting CSR builds per year to ensure quality.
If I was buying a 4S now I'd be making a beeline for this;

If you wanted you could do a re-trim and full Ohlins set up by Center Gravity and still be well under that CSR 4s that's had no engine work.
Not for me, I'm not keen on various bits on it. But it's not me buying it, if you like it go for it. Life's to short not to have what you want, if you can afford it.
I've been told this groups pretty good but searched for it using '
996 Carrera owners group
" and I can't find it at all. Am I doing something wrong :dont know:
TBF, other than something like a 3.9l Hartech conversion, there isn't a fat lot you can do on these engines. They could have fitted a later engine, or a Mezger, to get more power, but that would no doubt cost a fair bit more.
