Default SharkWerks invaded by Canada!

I'm pretty chuffed when someone goes to the trouble to drive their car from far away. I got to meet a lovely couple who took a few days off and drove their white/red themed 2010 997.2 GT3RS down from Vancouver (Canada) to get SharkWerks'd. On tap was the EVOMSit Software, the RSS rear suspension links and the SharkWerks exhaust.

In she comes:


Nice front plate! All the way from Canada and some I5 bugs. Good to see it driven:


Off comes the rear bumper and heat shields:


On goes the Shark pipe. As you can see we made sure to keep a universal flange so that those of you with the expensive Titanium RS tips can simply re-use them:


Like so:


Somebody uploading the tuned EVOMSit file via the OBDII port and laptop:


A few minutes later:


With the wheels off we have access to the rear links:


RSS Bump Steer and Dog Bone kit installed:


And ready to go back to Canada:

Heh thanks and actually I thought he'd take it easy leaving here and being with his better half but NO... My office is on the corner of the building and there's a straight away leading out and he sure let it rip in sport mode too

Does the software void the Porsche warranty should any "engine-related" problems arise?

Not sure that it's THAT legal in BC either. I "think" Targa Tim had something similar but had to remove it. Been a while so

Way cool for sure.

None at all probably is not a great option for such a "stealth" car, so probably worth a try, versus the tow hook option. Nice to hear about an RS being used for a road trip which was probably a lot of fun.

Great stuff - Not too many white/red 2010 7.2 RS in white/red in Vancouver. Hoping it was friends I was chatting with about my Sharkwerks bypass pipe!

I am using a front sticker license plate in BC. It is NOT legal, but cops don't see to care if you drive by quickly and you make the effort.

No cops ever game me issues with the 7.1 GT3 RS in Orange with the sticker license plate. And for the short time I've had the Grey 7.2, no issues.

Yeah, good memory, I took mine off as my cousin, a Vancouver Police officer, told me that it is actually worse to have a sticker plate than no plate at all. He said the sticker plate is an illegal reproduction of a government document.

Just random crazy idea. The owner should remove the side decals on the doors and instead of checkered flag pattern have the decal redone with maple leafs! It'd be different.

Nice looking car!
