BBi Autosport Porsche 997.1 GT3 Project Bull Dog



We would like to take a quick moment present this White Porsche 997.1 GT3 that we just completed this week. Nicknamed "Project Bull Dog" for its stance, we installed our StreetCup Suspension Package and widened the front track of the vehicle with GT3 body parts. The result is an extended track wide enough to accommodate monster 285 size front tires and 325 rear tires that delivers extreme grip and race car like feel on every turn.

BBi Autosport StreetCup Roll Bar




Next, we installed our BBi 991 GT3 Street Cup Roll Bar to properly mount harnesses and increase protection. Thr roll bar features a 2 piece design and 4130 chrome moly steel tubing (1.5" x .120" main hoop & 1.5" x 0.95" rear hoops) for excellent strength to weight ratio. With our sensible approach, the 2 piece design allows the bar to be mounted to the front seat belt mounts and to the rear strut towers (stronger mounting points). For superior strength and rigidity, the bar utilizes "X" braces on both front and rear sections and each joint has been meticulously TIG welded by hand. Bolt-in installation is accomplished by using Inner Diameter Tube Clamps that are CNC turned and milled for a precise fit.

Features

• 1.625" x 0.095" 4130 chrome moly steel tubing utilized for excellent strength to weight ratio
• Made from 4130 chrome moly steel tubing (1.5" x .120" main hoop & 1.5" x 0.95" rear hoops) for excellent strength to weight ratio

Modena 1

I love it.

What about the wing? Seems to be fusion of .1 and .2

sraz786

Great work. Is the wider-track package an official offering from BBI? Would you please mind PM'ing me pricing details if so?

FLT6SPD

Mirrors as well

This car is sooo sick. Great job.

Spyerx

Will let Jerry respond, I've seen them do various flavors of this on quite a few cars. I have a wide track front end but with stock fenders, basically using cup lower control arm parts. Car doesn't push. Turns in so good.

runet

How wide front tires are you running?

Spyerx

245 on 9" wheel

spiller

This is by far the most bad *** looking 997.1 GT3 I've seen.

CosmosMpower

Why don't you run wider, like 275 on a 10". You can fit 245 on a 9" stock.

bmwtye

Running a 10" wide rim up front with big tire requires modifying the radiator supports and moving them forward.

I run a 9.5 with 265 front tire on my car that has full 997.2 PMNA cup conversion.

bmwtye

BBI, what wheel offset did you use up front?

runet

If I read the specs correctly (tirerack.com for Michelin Cup 2), a 245/35/19 tire should fit perfect on 8,5", is that correct? Any reason 9" is better than 8,5" for this dimension?

I have 8,5" front rim, and is thinking about going 245 front and not stock 235 next time I get new tires.
