997C4 Overhaul at SharkWerks

We've got different cars/projects going on most days so I'll try and post pix and stuff of some of the neat projects we've got going on as of late. Today we just finished this 997C4 cab project....

The first step was to take the transmission off and replace the dual mass flywheel with our lightweight flywheel kit. The way it revs now is much improved. Stock cars almost feel sluggish by comparison.

The next step was to tackle the suspension. The car has PASM so we used the "plug-in" Bilstein Damptronic kit. We added the H&R sway bars for smoother transitions...


Becase it was a non-S model the owner wanted a brake overhaul so we choose Brembos newest 6-piston monoblock kit. I need to bed the brakes in so I'll reserve judgement till then but suffice it to say that the weight savings are quite significant thanks in part to those two piece rotors...

For the outside we did our usual TechArt front lip and sideskirt treatment and lowered the car 1.25 inches.

We also installed some light-weight C-20s from HRE (another nice weight saving).

On the inside we went with the TechArt thicker wheel and evo pedals.

On the performance side we installed the EVO Intake, RSS Plenum and the GIAC flash.

And finally the Tubi exhaust and headers...

We don't often see/mod 997C4's but on this one not much is stock now

This is what she revs like now..

Beautiful car Alex! Thanks for giving me a tour of the vehicle. I don't think the pictures do it justice... except maybe for the passenger side mirror

Thanks doughsun, can't wait too see how yours turns out... It'll be neat performance stuff in round one and then the second round... well it'll be very unique and different to the TechArt

On the mirror ROFL! It's like being tagged....

Awesome work, Alex! The car looks great, and the mods you chose just give me the itch! I especially like the plenum, intake, flash, flywheel combo. The car must be even more of a pleasure to drive now!

Hey spyder, thanks for the kind words... Come by and see what I mean on the flywheel. I can show you the Cayman sometime since it has it. Obviously the RS does but it's a different style one. The nice thing about the 997S is that there's so little rattle. You can't hear any from inside and a tiny bit from outside at a stoplight in neutral...

Everybody does like the plenum- that much we know

Alex,
Thant look hot! I guest that is a first fix up C4 I see?
"dual mass flywheel with our lightweight flywheel kit" does it make that much different?

Yes! I love my plenum too
