The shop received my aero kit today and it looks like everything is there. The box had nothing in the way of instructions for putting it together. However, it did have a nice little pamphlet on tire pressures. The front is pretty straight forward but there are a few more bits and pieces for the rear. I searched but did not find any articles on the installation. Does anyone know of one?

The shop is pretty busy so I have a bit of time.

Thanks.

 

Please document the install. This is exactly what I want. I assume you bought it through suncoast (best price I could find). I would also like to know how it works with your 3rd radiator.

 

MileHigh911, I'll do my best. The guy doing the install is little odd about having someone hanging over his shoulder. I hope to have the parts painted by Nov 7. If so the install should be completed Nov 11.

I left a camera in the car and I'll try to get as many photos as possible.

 

A legit shop should have some sort of a relationship with the local porsche dealer ,if they can't figure it out. (they should be able to figure it out , those factor kits are pretty straight forward and need minimal or no modification)

 

PM me if you need the install guide. Happy to help.

 

Or get a really great porsche dealer to help out (suncoast)

 

Suncoast to the rescue They provided a nice pdf file with everything I needed.

Milehigh911 - My parts person tells me that my third radiator may not work with the aero kit. Seems I heard somewhere that there may be a different version for the 997.2 with aero. I'm digging into it.

Update on progress: The shop was painting my parts today. I watched them put on the primer and color. The painter makes it look so easy. My guess is that they will start the assembly process on Monday.

 

Alan,
Please do keep me updated on the 3rd radiator and aero kit. Did you install the 3rd radiator yourself? Does it "vent" under the car? I really want to add the 3rd radiator to keep my oil temps down at the track, but I don't need extra air going under the car. With a GT3 bumper, I assume the air goes up and over the hood, adding to downforce, not lift. Then again, part of me gets pissed at Porsche for not having one on there in the first place. I feel like driving it hard, till the engine gives out and let Porsche decide when to recall early PDK .2's and add the extra cooling capacity. It is embarassing on an "S" labeled car to see oil temps near 275!!!

 

Good work... suncoast.

 

Update Alan? Any pics? Whatever happened with 3rd radiator problem?

 

bump. would love to see pics!

 

I never resolved the issue with the trhird radiator.

Sorry no pics. Shortly after getting it back I traded it for a GTS.
