For Sale: Porsche 911 GT3 TA03-R

[ChrisRx718 4470]

Another prized possession I'm considering parting with...

This one is a bit of an oddball. The bodyshell is actually from the TL01 kit "VIP Porsche 911 GT3" albeit without most of the stickers and painted in Tamiya anodized Blue Aluminium.

The original wing was a flimsy lexan affair so a plastic alternative has been fitted. It looks good to my eye, anyway!

Light buckets are fixed to the front from the later 911 Tamiya model.

Wheels are Tamiya 2-piece mesh with the centres painted bright silver.

Chassis:

This is based on the TA03-R but with the FRP twin-plate chassis conversion - fully ball-raced.

All-black plastics (grey plastics are more common) 

Tamiya Aramid reinforced drive belt

Tamiya front and rear Stabiliser bars (& carbon rear stabiliser support)

Tamiya torque-splitter unit incl. aluminium pulleys

Tamiya front and rear ball differentials

Tamiya lightweight driveshafts (blue) x4

Tamiya wide rear axle set

Tamiya adjustable camber arms

Yeah Racing aluminium suspension setup incl. oil-filled dampers (setting springs will be included)

Yeah Racing front and rear aluminium uprights and steering knuckles

Yeah Racing aluminium ball-raced steering set

GPM aluminium steering support bridge

GPM aluminium rear bulkhead

GPM Aluminium motor mount / heatsink

Electronics currently fitted:

Peak Racing motor (unknown turns, believe it to be 21x2)

Tamiya S3003 standard Steering Servo

Body and chassis are as-new - never ran.

Due to rarity of some parts and condition I'm putting this up for £150 or near offer, posted within the UK.

If you have any questions please get in touch.

@ChrisRx718 Man this thing really gets around - Somehow I ended up with the body! I took a pic and used Google lens, and ended up here of all places!

I was looking for a cool body for my recent TA04-R Chassis purchase, and wanted to stick with the 2001 time period. I started thinking about a GT3 996 style body, and came across a great candidate on ebay.

Here it is on my work table - just arrived today - should be a sweet build:

Wow no way! This is one I wish I'd done as box art, then I would have kept it. The pInt job ain't the best, sorry! This was my first experience with Tamiya anodised paints.

Small world indeed.

It's cool, it looks great with my failing eyesight, LOL. Actually just seems a little thin, but you can only tell when putting it up to the light. I might add some coats or maybe just back it? The light buckets are a great touch. I just hope I can get it to fit the TA04 without new holes in the rear. I bought some of those curved TA03 mounts in case I need to get creative. I have zero experience with either chassis until I get it built, it just looks like they have different rear mounts.
