2012 997 Turbo S gets Shark-Werked over with HRE, Tubi, RSS and TechArt
This white on black 2012 997 Turbo S came into us for our stage II performance kit, including the EVOMSit software and Tubi Exhaust. Also on the menu was a full suspension overhaul including the Bilstein Coilovers and full RSS Tarmac line of upgrades. A TechArt Noselift was retro-fitted to assist with steep inclines/driveways. Finally an even lighter set of HRE Centerlock P40 wheels were added.
In she comes with her rather "tucked-in" factory offset spec wheels and 4x4 ride height:
The factory exhaust before removal:
Off with the bumper and heat shields:
On goes the lighter and more aggressive-sounding Tubi exhaust system. The lower back-pressure aids with a quicker turbo spool:
And from underneath:
Off with the wheels and here's the factory suspension in front:
Factory control arms before being replaced:
On go the rear RSS lower control arms and dog bones:
And in go the rear Bilstein Damptronic coilovers as well as the RSS Toe-steer upgrade:
Completely over-hauled rear end!
A few of the "soft" take-off factory arms/links:
The factory side skirts are removed:
997GT2 factory side skirts which are painted to match are then installed:
Meanwhile, the EVOMSit tuning is installed via the OBDII port and tuned for 91 octane:
19-inch HRE CL40 Monoblok wheels in satin black are added into the equation. Each corner is now 3.5-4 pounds lighter than the factory wheel. More importantly the offset is considerably more aggressive now and the wheels no longer "tucked-in"- even with the new lowered ride height (approx 1.5 inches lower).
And now officially "Shark-Werked":
