Hi All,

I'm looking to get my hands on a '99ish RSK B4, and will probably be getting one imported from Japan. Most of the ones for sale are auto (tiptronic) - are there any pitfalls using a auto box? Is there any common problems with these models? Anyone any experience (especially in Ireland) with the B4's and importing into Ireland?

Cheers!

You might want to get down to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/legacyb4/

Cheers,

IMHO, join the legacyb4 group on yahoo - quite a few UK owners about there (a few on here too).

A good B4 will serve you well, IMHO, but then again I would say that:D

LOL - gotta love the net:o

Nice one Gareth:)

Yea I applied for membership on that group - just waiting to be accepted :)
So what do you guys think of the B4 in general?

p.s Is there a B4 and an RSK B4 or are they the same?

B4 is the non-turbo version, it has a 155ps 2.0 DOHC engine. The auto on that one doesn't have tiptronic.
B4 RSK is the twin-turbo version.

Cheers!
So it's an RSK I'm after.......
Anyone know if there's any decent one's knocking around?

My MY2000 B4 RSK has just gone back to the leasing company, not sure if they have sold it yet - they will only want trade price to move it on.

Manual, 34K miles, Smoke Grey.

If you want more info email and i will put you in contact

I always thought that the B4 was just an abbreviation of B4 RSK.

As I understand it the B4 part relates to suspension tuning by Porsche and the RSK stands for Rally Sport Kompressor!

But as for owning one :) best car we've had apart from the costly fuel bills!

Jon - I'm interested that you found a leasing company that handles imports. Can you let me have contact details (email per my profile if you don't want to post).

Thanks!
Gareth
