There is no paperwork to support them and I would suspect a PO has had them painted.

Very nice GT3, are you sure we can't convince you to run an easy track day...safer than a winding road I hear
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.

Being loaded for it's trip to Sydney....
I had them take a pic of the odometer, just to know that if there was 500 k's on the car, I'd know.....
.
Now all I have to do, is wait for it to arrive....
.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Thanks guys.....
I'm not sold on the red wheels. There is no paperwork to support them and I would suspect a PO has had them painted.
I would much prefer the OEM silver, so I am going to repaint them back again.
I can't complain about the fuel level too much....
, as the seller had been fantastic in the transaction.
Everything I asked for information wise, he was only to happy to oblige. It was a very easy transaction.
He even dropped me back to the Airport after I viewed the car......
Cheers,
Geoff.
Congrats Red Clubbie.. that is a great looking car.
The wheels did not ever come painted, only coloured wheels on 996.2 GT3 is the RS (red & blue) and they are a different rim (magnesium).
My vote is also for silver OEM wheels.
Propose a Sydney GT3 meet up when you get it.
Hi Geoff
congratulations you will love it. I actually looked at that car about 18 months ago when it was for sale by a PO prior to being sold to RSR and then to the owner you purchased from. Car is brilliant in every way, however from my investigation I believe you are correct that the wheels didn't come from the factory in Red.
I know the rear main seal was replaced by RSR, so you shouldn't have any issues there.
Hopefully you will enjoy some time on the track as it is a fabulous machine.
Well done.
Yes, you are correct....Rob from RSR had the rear main seal replaced. It was basically lack of use that caused it.
The PPI I had done, came back as it being a very good car. It needs a major service, which will be completed when it arrives.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Plans are to drive it. Probably not big k's, as it is a low k car.
I won't track it, but it will certainly get a good workout on some twisty roads around our way.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Congrats mate - welcome to the club ?
The wheels were painted red by a PO. That car was at RSR the exact time when mine was and I had the choice between (your) black car and my silver car. They were almost identical in KMs, I chose the Touring car simply to get a little more comfort as I bought it to drive not track, plus
I'm not the slimmest specimen ?
Your car is a cracking car.
Wheels back to factory silver is easy, it's the first thing I would have done also. I had my major service done at Porsche and was very happy with the outcome. My car has just ticked over 21,000km.
Enjoy
Dave
Thanks Dave.
I've just ordered 4 silver GT3 centre caps.....so the wheels are going back to silver.
Your car sounds like a beauty. Please post up some pics if you can.
I have never had a black car before and as I have a silver Cayman, I thought it was time to go black.
I have just sold my 1984 Carrera and that was a silver colour too....actually Zinc, but close to silver.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Wow Geoff, that's one killer looking GT3. Don't mind the red wheels, but looks like a bit of poser for an RS so I think going back to silver is a great idea.
Enjoy her!
Car arrived by CEVA today....
Unfortunately for me I can't drive it for 3 weeks.
I had surgery last Friday and I can't drive it until then. My Son came over to help me put it in the Garage.
It needed fuel, so I asked if he could get some for me. He was gone for two hours.....lol.
Safely tucked up in the Garage....
Cheers,
Geoff.
Amazing car - well done.
Wheel colours - completely to your taste, I think the red's look fantastic; you could buy another set and keep the red's for when you want to feel abit loud.
To be honest -you could paint that car in puke and it would still look delicious.
Congratulations on owning a gt3.
It's just been over two weeks since my Operation, so it was time to get the GT3 out for a drive.....
It's the first time I have been able to take it for a good drive and initial impressions were good.
The ride is firm, but not uncomfortable and although the gear change is a little notchy, it is very precise.
It revs out very easily.
The Clubsport seats really hug you and you feel very secure.
It handles like it is on rails with the steering being very direct and responsive.
It's easy to hit 120 in second and it's still pulling away....
Overall impression is that it is a very well put together car....
Cheers,
Geoff.
