How close are you to real GT2 specs?
Have you modified the mechanicals at all?
The car looks really great!

Yes this is a modified car.
The engine has been completely rebuilt with Pauter rods and new cams.
ECU and turbos are higher HP than stock.
Suspension is PSS9 with RS sway bars.
CW bushings.
Rebuilt trans
Guard LSD
steel synchros
WEVO mounts
LW flywheel and clutch
Short shift linkage with RS rod.
I do a few DE events a year so it gets worked out.

Looks great. Have any pics of the fender/quarter cuts before the flares were installed? Also, what wheel size/offsets and tire sizes are you able to squeeze in there now?

Well, if I ever wanted an "after" picture of my car before it ever goes under the knife................

Great job, hope to join you someday. (Unless I sell it and start fresh with a shell or something.)

Well done!

Was there a sunroof before conversion?

Looks like a quality job.

Not quite sure about how that sunroof delete works in this case...I thought you would weld the old sunroof to the main roof. The above photo looks like the sunroof is glued in...does this add any strength (or the real question is the way to really add strength is to weld it in). Just curious, very nice job!
