Default Our new Shop 996TT

OK so with the black 996TT out of action it's time to focus on our new car, a white 2001 6speed 996TT. We're going to be doing a LOT of different things to this sucker but for now you can see where we're heading. We built the motor top and bottom to the EVO GT800 spec (rods, pistons, GT3-R oil pump etc...) and have the full kit as far as power goes. What we're going for here is not the craziest of the crazy but a daily d and reliable turbo car that goes quickly. I swear no drag racing for me on this one- really. We all know it's capably of doing low 10s anyways so no "big-deal" So thanks to Mike@EVOMS of course

As far as the brakes go we're sticking with the Brembo GTR kit and for suspension it's the Moton Club Sports along with ERP control arms although we're using GT3-lowers. The front is fully converted to a GT2 (just for Ben) and the rear has the replica GT2 wing/decklid. For wheels we went with the HRE Competion series and seal grey centers..... More to come but here are som pix for now showing the motor, EVO intake plenum/hoses and turbos, the motons, the wheels fitting over those brakes and some carbon (plenty more of that coming):

Cheers my friend! No more black for me. Not ever. I'm out of that phase

Heh I could lend it to you for sure. Although I think Arling has one like that too? It actually isn't "quite" perfect and we did need to use a spacer indeed. The bolt pattern isn't "exact" either. Sigh. But it worked!
