FS: Restored Taisan Starcard 911 GT2

Ritch81 · February 26, 2016

Some of you may have seen this in the off-site sales section recently, as I tried selling it on eBay, but the winning buyer has since told me he can't pay for it. Foolishly, around the time my auction finished, I bought a TA04 with the money I thought I was getting, so now I really need to sell the Porsche!

I bought this car second hand, in a used & abused state, and have been gradually restoring it over the 10-11 years that I've owned it. In that time it's had a new tub, rear gearbox, full RC Bearings bearing set, bodyshell, wheels & Tamiya slicks (not glued).

The car came to me with new friction dampers, these are still on the car. The suspension has been shimmed to remove any play/ slop and feels great. The steering links were very tired so these have been replaced with Tamiya turnbuckles.

The only negatives for the chassis would be that the front & rear bumpers are quite scratched (cosmetic damage only), and there are a few minor scuffs to the bottoms of the wishbones and front gearbox. The front driveshafts are also a little worn.

It also has the original silver can motor with a new pinion, and a basic Hitec steering servo.

The body has been painted in Tamiya anodized aluminium blue, the rear wing was shortened to look more like the road car, and it has front light buckets (no LED's yet) from the GT3 VIP shell. The rear lights are also painted translucent red under the current sticker, should anyone wish to try to fit the rear buckets too... The few stickers that are on the shell are from the more recent GT2 re-release.

Car comes with its original box, but the manual is a copy I printed from a downloaded pdf.
