Pretty self explanatory title everyone. I wanted to document the progress of my liberty walk build on my 2011 turbo s. I know the kit and build is not going to be for everyone, and i might not be the best at documenting, but at least it will keep some of you busy for a small part of your day haha.


Little history about the car first, bought it about a month ago with less than 30k miles, bone stock turbo s pdk. Love the car, fell in love with liberty walk so i decided to build one. All the work is being done by long tran at LTMW, and he is doing a phenomenal job.

Her in stock form, so beautiful




Custom Roll Cage done by Jason Noren (close buddy)


Roll Cage Painted Speed Yellow






Test Fitting Stages of the Kit






Full Grigio Telesto Color Change complete




IPE Full Valvatronic Catless Exhaust with headers installed




RotiForm Centerlock WHeels also in



CSF radiator installed, interfooler here we come!



Half of the kit installed and its already starting to look gorgeous, really love the grigio telesto paint matched with speed yellow. What do you guys think?






Tires are not in yet and suspension is almost dialed in, waiting on partial clear bra before we put it all back together again, looking pretty sexy in my opinion, what do you guys think?



The following parts are not pictured yet because i did not have the time, but i do have full bilstein damtronic coilover system installed, along with CSF radiators. Looking forward to updating you guys soon, it is expected to be complete by the end of this week. Any hate or love all welcome, this is not my first time building a car, and porsche is by far the best manufactured car i have had the pleasure of owning.

Wow didn't know it was so far along...Can't wait to see it brother!

 

cool project - keep the pics coming. what material does LB use for bumper and fender extensions? I'm guessing fiberglass/frp

great color choice!

 

Awesome Mark!

 

I'll subscribe. Agreed, a beauty in stock form. I'll reserve judgement until I see what it becomes!

Looking forward to the outcome. Good luck.

 

it takes some ***** to cut up a turbo s - nice work

 

looks awesome.

 

I'm in as well - Sounds like a fun project.

I'm not a huge LW fan honestly - i have seen some cars that i really liked and others not so much. Seems nowadays there are far too many just thrown together and they don't look right.

What are your plans for the car - shows mostly, or will it be tracked and driven?

Regardless, props on the project and having the ***** to cut up a turbo S

 

Pains me to see a fine TTS cut up but I trust the finished product will be worth it! Good luck and keep the pics coming. Subscribed

 

Only in Cali - you guys have a large pool of car building talent there.

I can't wait to see the finished product.

Regarding your mods - has anyone proven an advantage running headers on the 997.2?

What's the benefit considering the fueling/engine limitations?

 

Thanks Adam, one month went by so slow, should be finished this week, i cannot wait!


Yes it is fiberglass, but in my experience with dealing with fiberglass, it is most definitely excellent quality, the kits just mock right up without and real fab work on fitment. i heard this was because they use a special kind of machine to build these kits?


Thanks , again to each their own, to answer your question this will be my daily driver, haha. Ive always been a strong believer in driving what you build and enjoy the car! However I will be participating in any show that I'm available to go to for more exposure on the car, ltmw, and my sponsor bilstein.

As far as I know, the oem 997.2 manifolds are bottlenecked and aftermarket headers help it breath better for more power as well as faster spooling time. Hopefully all this is true

 

this is awesome! another LB 997 turbo on the works! can't wait for mine and excited to see yours complete
