Trackrat's GT3RS Project

[Trackrat]

Ok, the "Grand Announcement" is at hand. Been busy on the off-season diving head first down the slippery slope.

Recipe:
2010 GT3RS, 10,000 miles, 50% Track/50% Street

GTGears LSD Internals

Akrapovic Evolution System converted from full (w/side mufflers) to Race configuration (via two side pipes).

Intrax 4-way coilovers. Application specific tuning by Intrax

Tarett Engineering solid bits- monoballs/spherical ends/toe-locking plates/etc

Custom designed/engineered threaded and thread-locked/sealed coolant fittings.

Racetech Magnum 6-point HANS specific drivers harness.

New spark plugs- so much easier with engine out although the ones in there looked perfect.

Separate engine/trans and examined clutch. Looking good!

Full OE Clubsport cage with welded plates top and bottom.

Stripped Interior.

RennLine floor mats

Sullivan Racing Pedals

996 Cup Shifter Cable and solid cable ends.

MovIt custom brake kit: Oversized Carbon Silicon Carbide rotors, billet high strength calipers and braided steel lines are in progress and hope to be shipped/installed in 2-3 months.

Works Bell quick release (GT3 specific, bolts right up) steering wheel with "Personal" (it is a brand) steering wheel.

Some pics below with more to come. All work was done in my shop with the assistance of Jess Lattin, a Master Technician with eight years of Porsche experience. He is a super-sharp cookie and excellent on the details.

Brief road test of approx 2 miles revealed no issues and a well controlled and compliant ride. Track testing this weekend.

I suppose I am 8/10th's or 9/10th's driver that wanted to play with the limits of building a street legal track oriented car. For me going full Cup car was not attractive due to engine/tranny rebuilds, not street legal, and more of an involved process to run it aside from just turning the key and driving off.
