The term "Great White" doesn't get used lightly in these parts but this car certainly warrants it The list of mods is as long as Brian Haske's rap-sheet... For power she's got, GIAC Stage IV software with the 100 octane R program, the EVO headers, EVO Intercoolers, red hose kit and the Tubi Exhaust system (we changed over from the milltek for something louder). She's got some power you could say For handling she's been lowered with the Tech Art PASM coil over kit and Tech Art adjustable sway bars. For looks she's got the full Tech Art Type 1 aerokit including, the wing, rear valence, side skirts, front lip and Tech Art exhaust tips (that fit perfect too- what a concept!). She's also got some super-light HRE C-21s with brushed centers. On the inside, the EVO pedals, Tech Art steering wheel, lotsa carbon (factory) and the SSK. To me she just feels done. The handling is so much more steady, balanced and the ride compliant. The sways smoothen the transitions nicely. Sam@Premier did the clear film wrap and Bob@Autoconcierge detailed her as she was used by Tubi this week at the Blackhawk exposition at Pebble Beach (I'll get some pix). She sounds pissed off with the Tubi so "Great White" she is.

 

Here's some of the surgery where you can see those larger EVO IC cores and red hoses (clamped down mightly strong too). You can see the rear adjustable coil over kit. We lowered it to roughly RS ride height but it's fully adjustable.


The Tech Art PASM kit also comes with beefier front drop links:


Here's a close up of the brushed finished on the C-20s before she was lowered.


As usual the tech art stuff fits so nicely (the wing reminds me of the aerokit on the 996TT)


I'm not sure what James was doing here but it was savory...

 

Here's a picture of the Tubi exhaust system and EVO headers which is also about 29 pounds lighter (and it fits nicely too ).


I've got a couple of videos of what it sounds like BTW:

Anyways I have to say it's a real pleasure working with the likes of Tech Art, Tubi, EVO, HRE etc... all in one go. Their stuff just plain works and fits.

 

Wow, that thing has got it going on in all areas. Nice work.

 

One small tip (kinda obvious I know) for you guys doing the side skirts (on a white car). The Tech Art kit comes with black urethane, just go to a place like West Marine and get yourself some white colored "glue". I've seen the results from body shops that have used the black stuff on white cars and coupled with questionable installation it doesn't come out pretty. You get huge black lines breaking up the flow. The side skirts are certainly tricky in terms of getting them right so that you don't have lines but you need to be patient and mcgyver up some clamps with soft pads, wood, c-clamps and get creative. Don't forget lot's of tissues

Anyways here's what I mean:

 

Super nice can you tell me your ride height and alignment specs please?

 

Thanks Drew, no stone was left unturned by the owner He's modded a few cars so he knows what he wants

 

sweet stuff Sharkster...has to be the best looking 997tt I've seen yet...

Nice work Alex..

 

Damn Alex, You and James are doing top-notch quality work.. It really does matter when your name is on the busniess and you definetly take pride in ownership. I too will be one of your Mod. clients soon... Keep up the great quality.. Best Regards, Kenny

 

Wow, such an elaborate project, looks great with performance to fully back it!

 

Thanks Chuck... you're just partial to white

 

Thanks for the kind words! The owner started off with performance/HP and it took a few trips but now it's _done_

 

That looks phat!
