…until January 2007, around 15 years after the birth of the first 964RS, after recognising the insatiable demand for perfect examples of the M003 RS and the lack of RHD versions it is with great pride that Ninemeister announce the launch of their new 9m64RS, 9m93RS & 9m93GT2 M003 Clubsport range.
Built to order from any variant of the 964 & 993 (supplied by customer or through ourselves) the build schedule begins with dis-assembly of the vehicle to a bare bodyshell, whereupon it is loaded onto one of our Celette body jigs for chassis alignment checking and to have a factory Matter M003 cage faithfully replicated and welded into the shell. Sunroof donor vehicles have their roof panels replaced and any minor repairs are carried out as required. Finally the additional seam welding and reinforcements/brackets specific to the RS are added before the shell is sent off for its anti-corrosion treatment.

…At the treatment plant, stage 2 sees the rebuilt bodyshell heated and immersed in acid to remove all traces of the original paint, sealer, underseal and corrosion, cleverly leaving the galvanising intact. After neutralising and washing the shell is then 11 stage prepared before receiving a full immersion electrophoretic surface coating. E-coating is the ultimate zinc-phosphate based anti-corrosion treatment (as used on current Porsche production models) which we specify to ensure that your new 9mRS M003 is absolutely corrosion free and fully protected from future corrosion attack.
With the shell back in the 9m Panelcraft workshop, seam sealer is carefully applied (underseal optional) to RS specifications before the entire shell is prepared inside and out before it is etched, primed and painted its final colour. The customer for the 9mRS #1 asked for GT3RS Carrera White which does look fresh and stunning, but more usually we would probably press you to decide between Maritime Blue and Signal Green….
Once finished painted the shell is moved to assembly where the rebuild process begins with the fitting of the reworked lightweight RS wiring loom (we remove 7kg of unused wiring from the standard loom). Fuel lines, brake system, suspension and interior options would be fitted at this stage before it is off to have its engine and tramsmission fitted, usually incorporating one of 9m Racing’s extensive tuning packages. Following dyno testing as required it is back into final assembly for body panel fitting and interior trimming (not that there is a lot of trim to fit in a Clubsport!).

The cost of the complete 9mRS M003 conversion process is £25,000 +VAT - which includes more than 400 hours labour, bodyshell dipping & E-coating, paint & materials and the essential solid roof panel. To complete the 9mRS M003 transformation further parts will be required at additional cost, but since every 9mRS is built to order it is up to the customer to choose their preferred specification from our extensive options list which for the 9m64RS include:
