Talking A mk2 RS with some expensive Porsche Tepuipment CF gets Shark Werked Over

This grey/red themed 2011 GT3RS came into us for a bit of track-prep including the RSS 930 roll bar, Schroth 6-point belts the SharkWerks fire extinguisher kit. Also on tap, the RSS rear suspension links as well as our exhaust and the EVOMSit software. Wearing the Porsche Tequipment carbon hood and side mirrors she's quite a looker!

In she comes; she's grey and red but her livery is a little different:


Out with those seats, the center console, steering wheel etc...


In goes the 930 roll bar, which attaches to the rear shock towers:


Now with the Schroth Harnesses:


The SharkWerks fire extinguisher is set up to work with the Brey Krause sub belt bracket:


And installed:


The factory links in the rear have neoprene/rubber bushings:


The upper adjustable RSS links with the solid ends:


The lower Bump/Toe-steer kit is also added along with lock out plates to keep the toe-angle consistent:


The factory exhaust already sounds pretty good but those of us in the know prefer to remove it:


That's going to give the sound we're looking for. You still retain the sport button function so you can turn it on or off. It's lighter too and when tuned with the EVOMSit software she gets a nice bump in power/response:


There's carbon fiber and then there's Porsche factory carbon fiber. Look at that perfect fit:


And the mirrors:


Ready for her next track event in NorCal:





She sounds a good bit like this:

Does this beauty of a car own the LSD that I currently have in my possession?

Sharkwerks have temporarily relocated to a secret address in S.F, I will PM it to you so you can send that LSD to the "right" place ... this posting will self destruct shortly thereafter!

Nice work as always Sharky! I have you fired extinguisher mount....do you install it on the drivers side? The instructions confuse me a bit....do I have to remove the seat to install? Sorry but I'm a little lost and don't want to start removing the side bolts into the seat and not be able to reinstall....just looking for some easy pointers.

Nice work as always. Too many stickers for me, especially going on the middle of the wing

Are you guys panning on a 4.2l engine kit too? I heard that from someone, but I was not sure if was correct information or not.

Well that's clearly an engine-out job for that white 3.8... and you don't pull the engine for no reason... Make a hole, displacement coming thru...
