And I am sure I am forgetting a few mods.

This is a stripped down and modified 1999 Carrera 4. Last tested in July 2013, about 115 in Phoenix, it make 470hp on low boost and 520hp on high boost. In the heat too, it still did 0-60 MPH: 4.21 seconds, 1/4 Mile: 11.73 seconds. I know there are many cars out there faster than me but for me, this car has been a dream come true, through hard work and passion for Porsches.

That's a pretty nice build. Where did you come up with the GT4RS moniker from? What exactly are "blue printed injectors?" Did you spread out the mods over the four years, or did you do a bunch of things in just a few batches? Where did you source the M030 suspension from? Or was it already on the car? They're basically impossible to find now which is really unfortunate since it's one of the best suspension mods you can do (and I'd love to have it but can't find one!).

Greetings,

Thanks for the positive feedback and questions. I spread the mods out over 4 years, just doing a little bit every year. There is stuff lots of stuff I could do still but I have enough money in her and very happy driving it, so its good for a long time. GT4RS is just something I thought of inline with the spirit of Porsche and the mods I have done, more of a respectful tribute to the beautiful GT and RS cars. Blue Printed Injectors is just a fancy term for having them tested, they hook them up to a machine and make sure they spray evenly. The M030 Suspension I bought from Suncoast Porsche in Florida. It is a good suspension setup but for the driving I do, I should have bought Coilovers which I will end up doing maybe in 2-3 years after I wear the M030 out.

Stephan

Im just an Engineer with a GoPro, not Michael Bay with a $100M budget, you do see several full body shots of the car during the video. I will make more when I have time. Before you say "Fail"can I watch some of the car videos you have made, so I can get some ideas.

Thats for the compliment. I know there is faster and better cars out there, but this is mine, I designed all the mods and it has been my passion for the last 4 years and she is all mine.

Congrats! I remember when you first got your turbo. I can't believe it's been 4 years already. Any pics of your new exterior? I just got a couple peek a boo glimpse from the vids but hard to make out.

Thanks for the compliment. Your signature photo is a pretty good looking 911, I will have to check out your photo albums. The only two future upgrades I see, is changing my M030 Suspension for Coilovers and my 18" BBS to 19".
