We don't always modify 993TT's here but when we do... This lovely black on black 1997 example was well taken care of and only had about 40K on it when she came in. We cooked up a nice three course meal for her including the EVOMSit Software, Cargraphic exhaust and Billet EVO Diverter Valves for a nice power boost. The stock suspension was replaced with Bilstein's PSS10 coil over kit and a set of H&R sway bars. For dessert she got a set of light weight HRE Competition Series C100 wheels wrapped in new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires.

First order of business is to get the factory ECU out from under the seat. A 91-octane EVOMSit retune was coded for more power, response and of course boost:


Off comes the factory top-mounted intercooler to get access to the engine:


The factory bosch diverter valves are replaced with a better billet piston design sans the rubber diaphragm which splits in the stock part.



The Cargraphic exhaust and its deeper Euro-tone was chosen for some more sound:


Lighter and vs the stock mufflers:


And installed:


The Bilstein PSS10 coil over kit with its 10 dampening settings ready to go on:


In place of the factory suspension:


Ewww:


That's better:



They stiffer and adjustable H&R sway bar is installed along with upgraded stainless steel braided brake lines:


And in the rear:


New lowered ride height next to its water-cooled 996 Turbo brother:




But we're not done yet....


With stock wheels:



Light-weight HRE C100's installed:


Close-up:


Satin bronze finish:


Staggered front and rear:




Time to go home...

I was worried about the ride height but it looks all good!!

Transformation posts with lots of pictures are the best. Looks awesome; good work.

looks great, I didn't know that you guys did tuning work on air-cooled 911s. I may have to drop by sometime and check out the facility, I've drooled all over pics and videos from the interwebs featuring cars that come out of your shop. Plus, the fact that you're fairly local is the icing on the cake.

Question on the rear shocks
Are there 3 lock rings installed above the swaybar mount? The reason I ask is there has been some discussion on needing to lock the swaybar mount from the bottom and still allow you to adjust the spring height. Or is it that you locked it from the top and its just a matter of taste.

thanks,

rlme, yeah you're right. The bottom lock ring should technically be installed under the swaybar mount collar. If no then you run the risk of the collar rotating under stress and popping out the end-link. Doesn't happen often, especially if your geometry is set properly but that's why that 3rd ring is there.

Nice car. Looks much better with stock wheels IMO.

I'm not feelin' those wheels at all. Put the stock wheels back on...add some wide oval tips...and you'd have pretty much a perfect car....assuming it's a 6-speed.

Mines; been lowered like that and it looks SOOO sexy! Rides great too- just watch the driveways- the front end is really down there.

Really nice job.

Need some large tips to go with the new sound!

Mine is low too, that is why I installed Gert's protection bar...

Nicely done. The car looks great!

RacingJunkie

Yep.

The twists are a good looking wheel.

Nice work Sharky, but get that 3rd locking ring sorted....
