So what exactly is the difference between the US 968 and the ROW ones? I know of a few ones like turn signal lenses, bumperettes, availablity of the CS and Turbo RS model, and such but what else differentiates them from the US ones?

The tip do not have extra handlings for switching the gears from neutral to park etc. I've red it once in the documentation that the US versions have more restrictions because they don't want te be in court.

The headlamps have replaceable bulbs...The US version must swap the lens as well? because it is one component? This because there are also in pet to options for a left one and right one. for example



944.631.929.00

944.631.927.00



Don't know what the difference is.







I also saw the the last one costs 50 euro more above the incredible price from 315 euros in Germany.

Why in the world would they make/provide 2 different headlight systems....is one better than the other...from any perspective....replacement cost...total assembly....regular light bulb replacement....quality of light....the ability to up grade to a different bulb?

The ROW's can adjust the headlight height from within the car.

Here are some pics of my 94 model Sport (a kind of half-way house between Club Sport and Coupe) that the UK market used for 968 run-out.

Hi Pipes,



Thanks for joining, and for posting pics of your car. It is very beautiful, but glad it's not mine as I would undoubtedly try to get in on the wrong side every time <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Any history on the car? Are you the original owner? etc.



Regards,



Jay

Hi Jay

Thanks for your kind comments - I was lucky to find the car - I picked it up about 18 months ago from a RAF pilot who was about to emigrate to the US to fly commercials. The Amaranth Violet paint (factory original) was putting off all the prospective buyers so I was able to 'steal' it for a smidgeon over £10k. The mileage was 67,000 and I have put another 9,000 on since.



He was the 3rd owner and the previous two had always garaged the car too, meaning that for the first time in it's 13 year life - it now lives outside on the driveway. Shame on me! I only have a single garage and my bike lives in there unfortunately.



I have refurbed the rims, had the paint machine-polished, fitted LED instrument pack lighting and the poor-fitting 993 clear lens indicators.



The second owner had the ECU chipped and there is a dyno print-off showing 252bhp.



Other than that, the car is completely stock, I'm toying with the idea of a custom-made exhaust system and if I do this, I'll probably also do the airbox mod.



I'd love to retro-fit a HID kit and have been reading the threads with great interest, although it does seem to be far from perfect unless changing to fixed lamps first.



Thanks again Jay - bye for now

Do the air box mod it is free. Most feel the difference and enjoy it.

Thanks Smokiemon - I'm with you there - the RS Barn stuff does seem to be very tasty indeed and coupled with the exchange rate at the mo, I'd be silly not to...................



Cheers

Another difference between ROW and US models is that the text on the dials is oel stand instead engine oil and we have ABS instead of antilock.

I just noticed it on a photo today from an older topic from Xrad and his fuel guage.

Both. I must have said RoW instead of European. Anyway, my Belgian spec 968 CS has an english dash and reads antilock.
