I see you have Evo 2's as I do, can I ask what mounts are you using?

I ask as mine fit ok but there are issues trying to fit harnesses as they seem to interfere with the fixings on both sides

I believe these are them http://www.bkauto.com/R_9061_Side_Mo...o_p/r-9061.htm

I went with the recaro slider I find them to be a bit sturdier than the sparco sliders. It was a tight fit but I was able to make everything work according to Sabelts instructions. I would post a picture but the car is getting covered in clear film and then off for a wheel alignment.

Getting closer.

I dropped the car off at my friend Nelson's owner and master clear film installer of Clear Image here in NJ. There is no better out there. I asked for some simple coverage but he took it a step further. The entire car is covered minus the A pillars and front cowl. fenders, doors, hood, rear 1/4's bumpers roof etc all covered with film and you would be hard pressed to see it.

Picked up the car and dropped it off at Protosport for final tuning of engine and suspension. Meanwhile Pino painted the tail and CF wing. I will be installing it today and hopefully have a derivable car by the end of the week or early next.

Cobalt - The car is looking spectacular...waiting to see the final tuning....should be a monster. It has been inspirational and educational following this tread. Which film did you end up using?

cobalt

Thanks

He used the Xpel film. It is much easier to stretch around all the curves on these cars. It is such an improvement over the older 3M films. It is next to impossible to see that it is there but a lot of work.

I removed the 3M film on my 04 cayenne turbo the other day. It had been on the car for nearly 10 years and the film came off leaving all the adhesive behind. What a PITA. Although for its age and never being garaged the paint looks like new.

So close to be being finished. Still some small pieces, odds and ends needing to be finished but looks like I will finally make an event.

I don't think I will have time for any graphics and I am starting to lean towards leaving it as is.

I might put a twin turbo 3.6 in black vinyl on the back lid and omit the carrera stripe it can always be added later.

Raised it up for now. Was giving me issues with my trailer so I will have to figure that out. Not as much negative camber as I hoped but there will be a lot of tweaking needed once we get it out on the track. I also have to adjust the rear deck lid. It is a royal PITA to get to sit flush, more than likely need to make some minor adjustments to the brackets I made. I am very happy I kept the CF wing vs painting it blue. The contrast really works with maritime and the blackened tail lights look great as well IMO.

This is how it stands now. Still waiting on the front headlight surround from Nelson the clear bra kept lifting on that one piece. Had a little rubbing issue with the front wheels so we kept them inboard for now. These changes will come eventually. Unfortunately I wanted GT3 style rear pipes but there is no way to do it with the turbos as they sit. I hope they are out far enough as this thing does throw flames. I have a spare center section in case they burn any paint.

It has been far more work than I expected. I have restored numerous Porsche's but refurbishing and creating are two different worlds. I have a lot of info I will one day get around to starting another thread comparing the differences of the MY''s that I have uncovered in building the project. I definitely would have searched for a newer tub and factory 964 vs 930 flairs if I had to do this again. I am grateful to all of those here and on Pelican that helped make this happen.

Anthony, what a sense of accomplishment you must feel.
Truly an impressive build.
Thank you for taking us on the journey

cobalt

Thanks

It is a great feeling I am proud of my work although I am apprehensive since I have no idea what it will drive like until I am out on the track. I am hoping it drives as well as it looks.

BLACK-BETTY

Congrats it looks great. I look forward to hearing how it performs on track.

ThomasC2

Nice work, you should be proud!

pirahna

Don't know how I missed this thread. Awesome build, that thing looks like a beast!

With the black accents - lights, tail, trim, door handles - the Carrera stripe will look perfect and only add to the subtle track look you are going for. Like you said, add it later.

Yes it does!

Thank you for sharing and adding to the knowledge base!

It does look beautiful as is. I'm just so ecstatic about this build, Anthony! It's just absolutely beautiful. Congratulations.

Wow! Just Wow! Glad to see that it has come together so well. Best of luck running it in next week. Just remember that in the NASCAR configuration T10 comes up quickly.

cobalt

Thanks everyone. It has been quite the journey.


Frank,

I hear that is the big trouble spot on the NASCAR config no more tap and go when coming from the boot. At least I have 3 days to figure it and the car out.

Talk soon.
