im trying to see if i can convert my carrera in to a gt3 and first i wanna check out some prices could you guys recomend how much it should cost???

 

Huh?

Well do you just mean the exterior?

If so you need front bumper, side skirts and rear wing...about 5k with paint....

If you mean in performance....thats a completely different ball park....the GT3 has a different suspension, and different suspension geometry...not even sure if it will bolt onto a C2...also a GT3 is based o the C4 chassis, which is stronger than the C2 chassis...then there is the engine which is based on the TT engine....so a complete conversion is gonna be HUGE money...engine alone is about 30k....and then you need a transmission, and electronics...and its NOT a simple swap....

 

Sell yours and get a GT3!

 

Yeah what he said!

 

I agree if you want a GT3 sell yours and buy a GT3.In the end it may be cheaper and at the end of the day you have a real GT3.

 

its been done, since the mk1 gt3 never made it to the states, he built his own, new engine, moton suspension, seats, roll cage...etc... he def lost his shirt on it... but it can be done, if you got deeeep pockets. I saw it on ebay, but couldnt sell it for his asking price...

 

I think you guys just scared him away......

=Eli

 

umm... bueller??

 

Although I think it would be pretty fun if you have the time and money, but it would probably be more fun to just buy one. That way you don't have to worry about little stuff going wrong. Besides, it's always fun to buy a new car.

 

i just wanna convert the exterial of the car hopefully the seats too but it costs me a arm and a leg and i was hoping i could find a plaece cheaper .

 

GT3 kirts are about $600 a pair....a GT3 frnt bumper is the same as the Aero mk II bumper...about $1k...rear wing about $1.5k.....then you need to lower the car and add spacers or get wider GT3 spec wheels....

 

Sh*t adds up quick...

 

hey there's a GT3 bumper on ebay, opening bid $99. It is fiberglass though...

dps-motorsports.com sells the full kit, give them a call and ask for Dayton

 

Fiberglass is way cheaper....for a reason....The rear wing he could probably get away with a fiberglass part...bumper and skirts, go Poly....you can see the difference and even if AT FIRST it looks good, they will ripple with age...
