Buld Thread***996 Turbo RSR Build*** Video's inside
Very nice build. Matt black is not my cup of tea, but still very nice. Thanks for your efforts, Perkman.
Got a coupla questions :-p
It doesn't seem to be lowered as much as a real RSR - especially in th rear. So I assume stock uprights?
Can you provide the tire sizes?
And - just out of curiosity - what was the deal with the radiators? It looks like they were originally planning on turning them close to 90° (or as close as they could get) and have the air exit in front of the rear wheel as per the original RSR. What happened there? That wasn't possible so they cut the slits around the winglets (dive planes) as an air exit? That's not really a low pressure area yet... Has this been tested at speed and under load?
Not being a smart a$$, just curious.

Wanted it to be fun on and off the track.Will get you The Sizes Tomorrow.
In regards to the 90 degree question :You are correct, It was the only way we could fit the A/C in this. It has been tested on a similar build and seems to work fine.

Correct, Stock Uprights and Hubs, Remember this has much more power than a RSR and when going WOT it tends to dip. 800 whp causes that Wanted it to be fun on and off the track.

Best looking 997 conversion I've seen so far.
I missed seeing some video or photo at least from the quarter panel rebuild.
Look fwd to more video and not being a downer here but hopefully on a deserted stretch of road. Soccer mommy handling a couple of fighting kids in the backseat might not see that thing coming.

Thank you. We did not get footage of the rear quarter, it was lost in a corrupt file!
Deserted stretch of road for sure.

Waking up this thread again! :-)
I would love some more info around the rear end rebuild to get the 997 lights and make it fit the rear bumper.
What parts did they use?
Did they buy complete new rear fenders?
Would be very grateful for info!
Regards
Pete
