Just about everything. The polished parts are alum.

The the intake, intercooler, trans cooler, and dual oil coolers were custom made. The lights and splitter are from Deutsche Nine. The turbo was built for us by Precision.

Duke, that picture is difficult to look at. Trust me, Dave, who is tuning the car is being very careful. He is the elec. engineer and partner with Garrity Repta. Garrity built the motor. They would rebuild the motor without issues or cost if something happened on their watch.

I wasn't driving the car. Dave told me he began to load the car at aout 3K, and it hit 25psi immediately. Pulled out, and drove back to the shop to figure out what they hooked up wrong.

Looks fantastic George. Great to see it's finally hitting the road...again. Pisser about the trans but they should get that fixed fast enough. Frustrating for you I know. If nothing else, these builds teach patience!!
The D9 product looks great. Be good to get some video including night stuff just to see the throw of the new lights.

Patrick,

They are BRIGHT! This was taken in a lit shop. I spoke with Scotty at Advanced Automotion.com. We are going to cyro treat the main shaft and harden 1st and 2nd. I'm adding a .60 final drive while I'm in there. I'm keeping the stock 3.37 R & P. I like the ratios, just want a taller final drive.

Typo....the stock 968 six speed has a 377 ring and pinion, not 337. I wanted to get a factory Turbo RS R &P, which is slightly taller, but Porsche wants $7,000 just for the gear!!!!
