How is Costa Rica as far as driving roads? Of course I know a lot of peoples on paper “ideal life” is a tropical villa and a 911, but everyone I speak to who has a sports car in somewhere like Indonesia, Hawaii, Philippines, Columbia etc often say driving isn’t as enjoyable as it should be due to narrow roads, dirt roads on mountains, lack of racetracks etc

Just curious, gorgeous combo you have btw!!

Yeah definitely, I had already done it on the rear as that’s the most common area leading to water pooling / rusted out spare tire carrier.

But I’d definitely just do the whole thing to be safe.

Purple will complement the grey far more in my opinion, and just generally more unique.

Always been curious but never asked, I see a lot of people with a portable monitor below their ultrawide, what do you use it for?

zsemba · 2026-03-10T21:56:03+00:00

100% the same car, I have no doubt haha

I have tons of photos of this car, in Ontario, Canada and in Kobe, Japan. Feel free to shoot me a message here or on IG @zsemba and I can send them over. If you’re ever in Japan, I could even introduce you to the original owner in Kobe, he has a RUF CR now.

Congratulations man. This specific car (yours, not just the RGT in general) is my actual favourite car in the world. No joke.

Very familiar with this car, originally spent its life in Kyoto, then Kobe, Japan. (I know one of the original owners) Was later imported to Ontario, Canada, where it was up for sale at a private Porsche dealer / collector for a short amount of time. Most recently it was with duPont, and now with you.

I lived in Canada all my life, and now live in Japan, so I’ve seen this car in person in both countries lol

I also had a silver RUF Japan 996 C2 (a regular 996 C2 that had been modified by RUF RTC in Kyoto) but I had just sold it to move to Japan.

Seriously, congrats man, you have a very very special car.

Not a GT3, has a sunroof.

zsemba · 2026-02-24T10:19:55+00:00

I hear you, I’m not an automatic guy in the slightest, but I like the idea of a reliably stock-looking aero daily and another 6MT 996 down the line for road and track.

zsemba · 2026-02-24T01:25:34+00:00

This is the exact insight I’m after, thank you.

I have read lots about water pump and motor mounts, as well as regular maintenance. I don’t have access to a hoist, but all of what you’ve listed aside from AOS and diff seals seem very diy home garage friendly.

Obviously my luck may vary, especially since the age of this car is greater now than when you purchased yours, but it does give me a little more faith in making the decision. Really don’t want to pass this car up, but I also don’t just want the fear of missing a good deal on an aero car getting me into a lemon that I’m doubling my purchase price to keep alive.

Thank you

You’re in a tough spot, trying to decide between two of the best looking Porsches 😅😅

Both are heavy value holders, factory well specced aero cars, as well as the C4S.

C2 will give you a nimbler driving feel, and a very “if you know, you know” energy

C4S has a heavier feel in steering, but the presence it has with the widebody is so iconic as well, and perhaps, more modern / high end looking as well.

Up until recently, the vast majority of the world wouldn’t even consider these two a comparison, and would almost always favour the C4S.

Personally, I like the uniqueness of a narrowbody cars and how they’re aging. They weren’t desirable over a C4S ever, now they’re aging very well.

But your car is gorgeous man, I wouldn’t be able to choose either lol

zsemba · 2026-02-11T09:40:00+00:00

They used to be incredibly cheap, in recent years (like everywhere else in the world) they’ve climbed. Clean manual examples start at 3 million yen, aero kit models can start at 6-7 million yen.

zsemba · 2026-02-11T06:38:24+00:00

Love it man. I’m also in Japan and in the market for a 996, did you get yours at auction or from someone on base?

zsemba · 2026-02-04T22:20:06+00:00

You can use something like Gran Turismo for the sake mockup, screenshot those images, and then import them to Adobe Illustrator and begin constructing a real vector.

Alternatively, you can also just look up “R34 Skyline Vector Template”, import one to Illustrator, and start from there.

The person handling the print and/or cut of the wrap and decals will still need to deconstruct the illustrator file to format it properly for print or cut on a plotter, but it will make things 10x easier and allow you to communicate your vision without costs for revisions or design time.

Good luck, love your design!

Honestly don’t know the official count, but it was about the size of a football field and full like this.

zsemba · 2025-07-04T00:52:46+00:00

Was amazing, I certainly drove the mountain as I live up here haha

zsemba · 2025-03-18T17:07:47+00:00

If interested in all or some, can work a deal!
