Green is Gud... Green RS with Green RSS 931 bar..

Even though i have been a member since 2004 i just recently became a Porsche owner.. However having raced them for over 10 years i am pretty familiar with them!!

I coach quite often and find myself hopping in and out of various GT3's and 911's that are at the track. Most of them had RSS roll bars. Having experience with the bars and talking to shop techs who have installed them i decided this was the bar for me... I also have some seat time in cars with their suspension arms.. A 4.0 with the complete set of arms on Hoosiers i can tell you is a REAL pleasure!!!

I acquired this GT3 after 5 years of dreaming... The Green is the only color for me.. I was lucky to find this one with under 500 miles and basically brand new.. Had to bed in the pads!! Still had hair on the tires... New car smell still there!!!

The RSS roll bar is the 2nd modification ive done.. The first was a custom exhaust utilizing 997 RSR muffler canisters...


I want to thank Mike at RSS for helping me out.. Its a beautiful piece!.. I installed it myself with the help of a friend.. Fitment is great but it wasn't easy getting that hunker in there..!

Here are the specs..

-RSS 931 Competition 4-Point Roll Bar for 996/997 Coupe
-1.75" Chromoly w/.120 Wall Construction
-X-Brace Design
-Heavy Duty Slip Fit Couplers with Flush Mount Hardware and Frame Rail Support Plates
-Tig Welded


I plan to do GT2 seats and harnesses in the future also..

Good looking roll bar Leh.. That bar looks familiar for some reason.

It is a beast for sure, that I can tell you. No other roll bar offers this much protection and this level of quality. Can't have to much protection I say and so does this bar.

Oh ya, the car is cool too.

Yowza, where did you find a Green one with 500 miles???

I would love a green cage, but at 6'7" it isn't in my future.

Enjoy that thing!!!

Gorgeous. What year is it, and why does it only have 500 miles? Unless, of course, it's a 2012.

Through a friend of a friend.. I didn't plan to get it this early but the opportunity for "the car" presented itself so i pulled the trigger..

I am 6'5 and actually run the seat off the cage a bit.. I was surprised how much room i had with it in...
