Fred,

Fantastic job - well done and fast too!

are you running wheel arch liners in the rear? That tyre looks oh so big!!!

I bet it looks even better in person!

Carrera GT

This pic suggests lowering the seat and adjusting the shoulder strap height for the driver will become an issue. Hopefully the driver can get those straps to work at near horizontal for the given shoulder height.

I think the car is looking great and surely even stronger than the original GT2's "back in the day" so if it's a street car or a project car, no matter, but if it's going to carry a lot of horsepower and be driven at the limit on the track, I'd still suggest going back and doing ad hoc reinforcements of the cage. "Groan" -- I know. But there it is.

Hopefully this is taken in the context of being a sincere and constructive post. And I don't mean to be hypocritical, so I'll volunteer the fact I often drive on track with no cage or HANS, but that only goes to show the foolishness of the risks involved. : )

Hi Fredcalero,

I follow your DIY GT2 conversion but I didn't understood how did you cut the 993's fenders and how did you drilled them (holes to fit fiberglass fenders). As shown on the pic, did you use the same sideskirt or changed it.

Can you show some pics how the mods it started?

Ciao Nicola

P.S.: Great job

fredcalero

by fender skirt are you referring to the rocker panel?

1) tape the flares on the fender where it lines up the best.
2) trace the flair outline with a marker
3) measure 2" under the above outline to make sure you have enough of the original fender metal left. You can always cut again but it's not easy adding the metal back if you cut too much off.
4) Drill the holes on your flairs and mark them on the fender.

I will see if I have more photos to share.

Yes.

Ciao Nicola

P.S.: Thanks about the explanations

fredcalero

The rocker panel is the original turbo part that comes with all 993 tt and 4S.
