looks awesome!! now is a great time to remove the counterweights from the shift levers. gives a much firmer feel. if you dont like it its easy to reinstall. but a major pain to remove when installed.

 

No idea that was even a mod, I'll take a look tonight. Thanks for the tip.

 

Looks good!!! Looks like you cleaned and polished too.

 

That Kline dressed her up nicely bud! Let's get the coolers going and light this beast up!

 

Ship the coolers, engine is going in this weekend.

Thanks buddy

 

Bingo Bango!

 

Talking about slippery slope of while you're in there

 

I lost 5lbs due to a lighter wallet. Essentially a 2-3 build project happens at once

 

Done that before. All part of the fun

 

This weekend a couple of friends came over and helped me get the engine back in. Almost done buttoning up the bottom of the car, just need to finish bleeding the clutch. After that is done then I'll finish up the engine bay.

 

Finally finished her up on last Friday, car feels great so far.

Some shots of the AMS cores and mounting, fresh fuel(just finished and dirty in pic), and first car wash since I started. I think the next mod will be the leak proof y-pipe to throttle body connector, its slips slightly whenever I get on it. Just not enough meat on there to get a good clamp on it.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support. Sam and Mark have been extremely helpful as always, I recommend both of them to anyone wanting to mod their 997.

 

love those coolers!

 

Once I log some data I'll post intake temperatures I recently some data from a car with upgraded VTGs and it looked good.

 

He did a full paint correction on a W140 S600 for a friend of mine and the results were stunning.

Beautiful 997, thanks for sharing all your hard work!

 

I highly recommend Tim, he was great. Long story short, his team stayed late past normal hours to make sure the car was perfect before my long drive home. He met me at his shop the next day at 6am in morning so I could take delivery of my car and get on the road on time. In addition he wrote on a piece of paper what materials to buy so I could maintain the finish they left on my car and instructions on how to. I had an awesome experience with these guys. They are talented and provide excellent customer service.
