In this video I’ll show you how to easily fix two issues with the Porsche 911 RSR 42096 Technic Lego set.
IMPORTANT! I’ve published an update video on the modification shown in this video. If you plan to do these mods please watch the new video where I go into the lowering mod in more detail and I correct the steps needed (and parts) for my fix for the roof of the model.

Instructions to lower the model can be found here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-21406/RB-instructions/porsche-911-rsr-lowered-tiefergelegt/#details

One thing I forgot to mention: In step 4 of the lowering instructions by RB-instructions I recommend doubling up on the sub-assemblies that attach to the frame of the model for the front wheels (on each side of the model). This is so that the 3L Technic axles that compresses the suspension (step 5) are supported at both ends, not just from the front side. I cover off this change in detail in the linked update video.
Also: The designer for the lowering modification I show in this video is German. The PDF instructions link on Rebrickable (link above) takes you to the designers own site which is in German. Turn Google translate on to German to English (or your language), and it’s all straight forward from there, there is a link to download the PDF instructions and the instructions themselves are very simple and easy to follow.

I too just built this and now feel compelled to do these urgently required modifications
I could listen to you talk forever ..be my therapist please hahah hreat video i habe this model but waiting for a missing piece to finish it ..got the lambo to do next
Its a race car
I really enjoyed this video. This channel is going to blow up! It's only at 946 subs
actually, the ride height isnt totally inaccurate. race cars, even big bulky stock cars like they run in NASCAR, sit higher when they arent moving, because the downforce they attain at speed is what pushes them down to the ground.
Even if you lower it, the side gap remains, the wheels are just too small for the car. But seems Lego doesnt have proper sized wheels for this scale of cars, unless you take the thicker wheels from like the F1 Ferrari, they got the same rim-size, but bigger tires. The steering will be kinda broken (get stuck), but at least it looks proper sized.
I noticed those things but never went ahead and changed but now that I have seen it… I am going to do it, Thanks!
I've improved on some things aswell!
Did the following mods according to he video, and recycled some of the left over bricks doing so.
Door handles are very out of place imo, completely ripped those out, and used the two White 1L Connector Ring's that were removed from the roofline, for two much sleeker door handles.
Then I've used those two white previous door handle White Wedge thingies, to simply fill out the gaps between the rods and the physical front hood, on the very outer ends.
Great video!
We need to figure out how to make the headlights look better.
i need to do those once i re-assemble it
But unfortunately it is still a V motor (180 degrees), not a boxer …
