Saw I nice looking 993 RS splashing out of Hickleton today, heading towards Doncaster, lady at the wheel. Just wondered if it was local, anyone that shows up on here? Nice to see, made me smile on a tough bike ride.

Probably about the same number of rhd CS as rsr,i have a updated version of the world registry of all 993rs,which has not been updated for some time,i gave the person concerned a lot of info when it first got started,any idea how it could be put up on here for owners to add info,and see if we can get a definitive answer one day.
The only ref to cs as rsr sales in the uk i have seen was a hand written letter by a main dealer,when the extra rhd cs got built,as the person who ordered it,threw his toys out and went legal after a deposit was paid.
The Reading uk list i have refers them as a factory description of CS.

Best not mention the bit about the RS having "brakes from the Turbo" in the editorial then? [
are you implying an editorial mistake by stating the turbo and RS brakes are the same Paul ? apart from the disc being a riveted bell assembly, always thought the 322mm x 32mm front discs & 322mm x 28mm rears were the same fitment to both the turbo & RS as are the 4 piston calipers ?
or perhaps you mean the turbo having brakes from the RS ?, anyway hows things down South, cold and foggy up the north.
Calipers>
Larger rear pistons on RS calipers. 30/36 on the RS, compared to 28/28 on the Turbo/c4S.
(Fronts are same).
Discs>
If you look at the PET, front RS and TT/C4s discs have slightly different part no's, solid discs on RS with a steel hat on the TT (same size).
Rear discs share the same part number.
Small details I agree, but so many times these magazines quote generic info on these cars when there are subtle differences.
Similar weather down here mate, RS in the garage on accumate..... cycling as it is actually warmer than driving the Elise and probably less dangerous!? []

Cheers Paul, the front rs pistons are 36/44mm, I have been reading an article on the 993 rs clubsport in Excellence magazine from June 1999 which is technically incorrect stating the Turbo brakes are fitted to the RS clubsport !!
love these snippets of tech info, thanks for sharing, []

chris and steve,nice pics of your 993,s in the new club calender for next year.
Cheers Paul, got a complimentary copy from the club,
Sorry to dig up an old thread but as my car is off for MOT and service soon so I dug out the paperwork file and found this.
Porsche Cars GB reffered to the 003 code as the 'RSR Package' I also have, but cant find, an original sales brouchure for the 993 RS and it also lists / refers to the option of a RSR package (ie what we know as the Clubsport pack).
This could be why the RHD RS CS are sometimes refered to RSR's wheras the LHD RSCS are never confused with the real racecar RSR's
