SharkWerks 993TT Project - Bilsteins, Cargraphic & HREs
We don't always modify 993TT's here but when we do... This lovely black on black 1997 example was well taken care of and only had about 40K on it when she came in. We cooked up a nice three course meal for her including the EVOMSit Software, Cargraphic exhaust and Billet EVO Diverter Valves for a nice power boost. The stock suspension was replaced with Bilstein's PSS10 coil over kit and a set of H&R sway bars. For dessert she got a set of light weight HRE Competition Series C100 wheels wrapped in new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires.
First order of business is to get the factory ECU out from under the seat. A 91-octane EVOMSit retune was coded for more power, response and of course boost:
Off comes the factory top-mounted intercooler to get access to the engine:
The factory bosch diverter valves are replaced with a better billet piston design sans the rubber diaphragm which splits in the stock part.
The Cargraphic exhaust and its deeper Euro-tone was chosen for some more sound:
Lighter and vs the stock mufflers:
And installed:
The Bilstein PSS10 coil over kit with its 10 dampening settings ready to go on:
In place of the factory suspension:
Ewww:
That's better:
They stiffer and adjustable H&R sway bar is installed along with upgraded stainless steel braided brake lines:
And in the rear:
New lowered ride height next to its water-cooled 996 Turbo brother:
But we're not done yet....
With stock wheels:
Light-weight HRE C100's installed:
Close-up:
Satin bronze finish:
Staggered front and rear:
Time to go home...

Beautiful, Nicely done. How long did it take you to install the PSS10's? How is the ride quality compared to stock?
Thnx.
Thnx.

I actually remember doing these cars years ago with the PSS9s and I'd say the 10s are a little stiffer than that but not jarring unless you're going over pot hole city. It's quite compliant otherwise and with 10 levels of dampening it's easy to adjust (the detense/**** is much improved over the 9s). Thanks and a good few hours (8 or so).

Crazy aint it???! **** a 965 with 70k on it is selling for 79k!
BTW... I hear you're a winner now
?! Way to go man.. seriously... It's not easy to get a 997TT sorted/consistent at the track and looks like you DID it. And carried the TT flag with pride too.
