Search "My GT3RS Airborne Ranger build thread". It is all there in full display. Awesome build with incredible machining work.

just spent a couple hrs and a few drinks reading over this..... I can’t imagine the cost involved but damn good on RSRanger for attempting this. Does he still own this monster? Driving the 997.2 around town it’s difficult to image there’s room for improvement. Im
speaking of the engine alone. For 6 cylinders it cannot get any better. Only way is hybrid tech. Thanks for reviving the thread👍🏻 Enjoyed the journey. And let’s make 2020 the best year ever. Cheers guys

I’m curious how much Ranger sold the car for.
Interesting read.

A few updates. I moved back to SoCal and had to get a new tune to run on the California 91 gas. BBi made 450rwhp at 8,700rpm. I had no idea whether that was good or not, but today I got to play with a 991.2 RS. With a few lead follow runs up to about 80mph, I had to let up on the gas to avoid getting too close to the rear bumper of the RS. The RS had a passenger while I was driving solo.

Installed JRZ 12.32 triple adjustable dampers. They feel great! Ride is more comfortable than stock and street handling is more confidence inspiring. I haven’t had time to try these on the track yet. I’ll be driving at PEC LA this week. It’s not a track, but should still be tons of fun.

I've been using the JRZ 12.32 triples on my car for the last 2 years. They are amazing dampers. Enjoy!

They are allowing you to drive your own car there?

Yes, every Thursday PEC LA has a slot for owners to bring their own Porsches out to play.

Very nice. If you guys love the jrz you should really try the KW Motorsport 3 ways. I had the jrz and switched to the KW.

Amazing build. So how much roughly a build like this cost?
