Default The Making of My Blue Monster ** Update Oct 26 2010

I was not sure what to call this thread... First I was going to call it "Help I have completely lost my mind" or "I have slipped and cant get up" But then I thought to just keep it simple.


So today I stopped by Protosport Inc and checked on the progress of the project.

In summary, this is what I am getting done

- Protomotive Stage 1 twin turbo
- Front Euro turbo bumper with bumperette delete
- Rear bumperette delete
- OEM turbo wing
- HR springs and sway bar set up
- BBS RS-GT Diamond Black with silver BBS center caps
- Sumis HR3s 285/35 and 235/40 tires
- Three spoke 996 steering wheel
- WEVO motor mounts
- 60 k service

My MO30s set up (shocks, coils and sway bars) and MY02s will be for sale when the project is done. So in case anyone is interested PM me.

I can't wait for my next visit next week and get a peek at my turbos

Wow, you getting serious! Looking forward to the progress of your project. May you also can give some inside to the cost for the different upgrades.

Let me know when you stop by there again. I live in the area and would be great to meet up and see the car.

Wait...what is a "promotive Stage 1 Twin Turbo"? Is it a retrofit for NA 993s? How much does it cost?

It should read Protomotive. Search for posting from TheOtherEric on this subject. Eric has done a splendid write up on this topic. He might also has his kit still for sale...

WOW!! Paint your calipers RED and look where you end up. Talk about a slippery slope.

Can't wait to see more, Gappy.

Ok. You finally let the cat out of the bag (tee hee). I knew you were up to something extraordinary. Now you finally reveal your true sinister design. I wondered how long you would keep the canary in your mouth. Good for you, and for us. We get to drool while you allow us to vicariously live through your impressive upgrade! I think I echo the sentiments of all of us when you wish you all the best as you transition from a monster to a true beast!!! Keep the pics coming!
