Talking Build Complete.......for now.

We have finally finished my build and all the upgrades to my 08 GT2.

I really want to pubically thank Champion for their commitment to excellence, providing superb service over the past 10 months, and really putting their heart and soul into very last component. Louis, Shiraaz, Tom and all the crew are a great bunch of guys, very knowledgable, and with genuine conern that every last detail was addressed.

I cant say enough about the GT2............it is the first time in several years (or cars) since I have found myself making any excuse take it out.
The car currently puts down ~ 835 WHP and ~ 750 FT# of torque. Accelleration is smooth and brutal.............I have found I am most comfortable driving it on the street with MT Street II DR's or shall I say it is a must. The suspension was completely upgraded including Ohlins CO's and CMS hardware. All I can say is wow! The suspension has completely transformed the car from an untamed beast to a smooth, comfortable, and very formidable competitor whether it be RR, 1/4 mile, or (eventually) 1 mile runs.

I will post the dynograph asap.

Also wanted to mention the ERP clutch is fantastic. No more legaches! Not too soft or hard peddle pressure. Shifts smooth and confident.

Future upgrades will include more power (eventually - have not decided how). I would also like to install gear by gear boost control if available and if the power neccessitates doing so.

The fairly complete list of additions is as follows:





<U>
  • </U>
  • CF Skirts

  • Porsche Short Shifter
  • Blue Printed Engine, 3.8 Ltr, Mahle CI Sleeves, Dual Valve Springs, Titanium Push Rods, Mahle GT2 Specific Aluminum Pistons and Lightweight Wrist Pins, Carrillo Steel Connecting Rods
  • Ferrea valvetrain package includes dual valve springs, keepers, titanium retainers, and +2mm intake and exhaust valve upgrade.
  • Ported and Polished Heads
  • Custom CMS Billet Differential Cover w/Adj Brass Safety Stop

I love the spec list I love the interior (need some yellow dials) I love everything apart from the wheels I think they should be all black IMO!

Well done to both parties involved!!

What turbos are you running?

Also do you have anymore info on the clutch or a link to a website?

Gorgeous and +1 on the comments regarding the wheels. I think they should be all black (my preference) or all yellow. I bet the picture doesn't do it justice!

Enjoy it in good health.

I have to agree............I have stuck with "a color on black" for years. It just doesnt look right on this car. I will wait till they need a new paint job and weigh my options.

ERP is affiliated with RPS. They have not yet developed a link or data sheet for Porsche applications. RPS is an excellent clutch..........I used them on a Z06 and was very pleased. No chatter at all love the feel. If you look up RPS Clutch you will get an idea of who they are. The owner (Dave I think) is very attentive and customer oriented.........I would give him a call.

Really dont know the exact amount but would suspect in the $2300-$2500.00 range (might be a bit high). Champion has access to them.

BTW: That would be a Carbon Triple.

UPDATE: On their website the triple carbons are in the low 3K$ range.
