997 GT3 "coolant pipe fix"
#31
Racer
Car back together. New BBI coolant fittings, Sharkwerks fittings for oil cooler. 4.0 lwfw and clutch, water pump, new hoses, rear main seal. Blueprinted fuel injectors, had intake cleaned. New plugs. Did leakdown test- only 3% cold, and 45,000 miles. That was good news.
Can't believe how fast it revs now. Quite a bit livelier on the street. Still waiting to see how it is on track

So I went on vacation the day I got the car back and really didn't get a chance to drive. Long story short, the Redline Speed Worx crew were very professional and did an exceptional job at a fair price. They weren't the cheapest, neither the most expensive. Overall I'm very happy. In addition to the parts I initially listed, they installed:
The clutch pedal feels much stiffer than the original and the car is super rev happy now. This would attribute to the GT3 RS 4.0 LWFW and clutch kit. Car feels so much faster in first and second gear. The only con is the chatter which is normal and was expected. But then again, if I wanted a luxury sports car, the GT3 wouldn't be it. I can live with the extra bit of noise. Will probably do a video soon so stay tuned!
