This nifty Blue/Silver themed 2011 997.2 GT3RS was originally picked up at the factory as part of the European delivery program. She later arrived stateside and came into SharkWerks for a few upgrades including our bypass exhaust, Schroth harnesses, the SharkWerks Fire Extinguisher kit and the RSS Roll bar.

Ready to come in along with her Euro-plate:



Once on the lift off come the lights (in this case optioned with the "clear" versions):


Off with the bumper and heat shields:


And the stock titanium center mufflers comes off next (still 7-8 pounds heavier than the exhaust going on):


On goes the SharkWerks exhaust (no more Euro sound restrictions here!):


Stamped...


Aligning the tips...


Installed with tips:


Next it's time to get some space and remove the interior before installing the roll bar:


Out comes the driver's seat:


And the passenger side too:


The black RSS Roll bar (an analogue of the Tequipment one):


Very carefully... in goes the roll bar (very much a two person job):



Before installing the seats and harnesses we install our SharkWerks fire extinguisher bracket in combination with the BKAuto sub belt bracket:


On to the driver's seat:


Now both seats go back in and the Schroth harnesses are installed:


We can now place our 2.5pound halon extinguisher:



Here she is ready to go home (aka the track):




Cheerio!


In case you haven't heard the exhaust on a 3.8L 2010/11 GT3RS here's a quick clip:

looks nice ... btw since the RSS bar is a "copy" of the techquipment one, do the sports buckets slide all the way back clearing the bolts/seatbelts on the door sill (my 996 recaros would not on the .1 997)

Also, you might want to put the 3pt belt "outside" the lap belt tunnel, that way the owner wont wear the leather on his seats getting in and out ...

sharkster

hey larry and yes they do It's actually got a slightly larger recess if you will... Roger on belts although that was last night before we fitted him when he came today

Larry Cable

that's useful to know about the RSS bar, it was a real pain in my .1 with the Techquipment bar ... just couldnt get the seat back enough to heel/toe properly.

I dont know why the factory puts the 3pt through the lap belt tunnel like that ... I cant see that it makes a difference ...

promise to post a thread when you sharkify my mex blue!

Love to see that a GT3 RS had Euro Delivery!!!

malmasri

That looks like the 901 and not 903 RSS????? I hope I was wrong

sharkster

I've yet to do that myself I need to...
Good eye... we use that one for "harness" bar set ups if you will. Once we start cutting/welding etc... most folks like to go with one of Tony's custom bars
Hehe yes I will start one and I'll show you the bar etc... see what you think in terms of room

Larry Cable

You do, I'll meet you at the Ring and show you the line ... not too mention beers, wine and steaks @ Der Pistenklause!

sharkster

Hehe yes I would so be down for that!

Danke!
