April 4, 20213 yr I have built Porsche 911 GT3 RS and applied fixes from community-driven errata by @Didumos69. But I was lacking the visibility into the gearbox. Inspired with the Lamborghini Sián set, I have decided to modify the chassis to make the gearbox visible at the bottom of the car. Moreover, the goal was to not use any additional bricks that are not included in the set. My modification to expose gearbox can be applied to the original set as well as to the variant with the community-driven errata.

July 26, 20213 yr My first very minor mod - I like to eliminate stickers wherever possible so I purchased from Bricklink a genuine printed "RS" wheel centre to replace the Porsche stickered round tile in the centre of the steering wheel. Very happy with the result. Edited July 26, 20213 yr by williamyzfr1

I used different pieces just because I am away from my collection and have a limited amount right now. I don't think closing the gap that I did had been proposed yet. But this thread is so long; I haven't read the whole thing or followed it the whole time. I would not be surprised if someone else had proposed it. But I have not seen it. Sorry for quoting a very old post... but since moc-pages is down, can you share details on how you covered up the hole under the headlamps? Or maybe someone else knows? I've been looking at attaching the smaller panels with friction pins using either 42003 or 6536. But I'm worried it will feel "unfinished" since it will not be completely fixed in place and can be rotated around two axles. Maybe there's a better solution? Or if it's the only way, would 42003 or 6536 be best?

Take a look at the video if you need to: Right at the end, minute at around minute 1:41, you can see it. This part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15100#T=C between both 1 x 11.5 bent liftarms and you are set...
September 27, 20213 yr Many, many thanks nerdsforprez! Is this is the way it's attached? Looking at this solution, it can still be tilted a bit, but I'll settle for it since it's for display, not playing.
September 27, 20213 yr yes. that is it. And yes, it can be tilted, but that is what you want. it allows for better coverage.
December 26, 20213 yr Don't have the set but I noticed I had (almost) every part, just not in the right color. Result is a Porsche with an identity crisis: Edited December 26, 20213 yr by m00se
June 3, 20222 yr Bought some rims from a guy on ebay "kleinanzeigen" (which is a smaller german version of the regular ebay) who is making these occasionally. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=9663494 They look similar to the BBS LM rims. The star inside is 3d printed and the ring outside is polished aluminium, and glued together. He offers them in silver, gold or black. Also a different design (BBS RE) is available. The Lego tyres don't fit 100% but its close enough. Edited June 3, 20222 yr by Polarlicht
June 3, 20222 yr Those honestly might not cost much more than the crazy expensive original rims these days!
June 4, 20222 yr I never realized that those rims were so expensive and rare: only 5 shops are selling it on BL! I found a full 42056 at 200€ last year: it feels strange to think that only those rims cover this price today
June 5, 20222 yr Bit of a random question but I’m hoping someone will know. Do we know what the actual scale of the Porsche is? I know it’s quoted as 1:8 but I’m also aware that this could mean 1:7.8 or 1:8.4 as examples.
June 5, 20222 yr To quote Brickset's review: Quote These dimensions make the Technic model 1:8, 1:7.6 and 1:8.7 scale respectively when compared to the real car's length, width and height.
June 5, 20222 yr Thanks @LvdH so the answer is it’s all approximate then. I wanted to use the Porsche as a bit of a guide for comparing against my own “1:8” project
June 7, 20222 yr So, does anyone have pictures of the GT3 RS on Sian wheels or even Ferrari Daytona wheels? Very curious to see what that looks like. Also, any pictures of the GT3 with the newer, rounder fender pieces? Are those panels available in LDD?
