Those pictures are awesome! I lpve seeing all the little things that are usually tucked away. You know they could have gotton away with less "art" since most of it is hidden, but damn. can't wait to see more!

That's incredible! Awesome photos as always, Jason! I really love seeing all the cool up close, detailed shots of such engineering masterpieces as the Carrera GT. What's even crazier is that this is the third thread I've seen about a TS member's CGT going in for service. You just can't find this kind of content anywhere else on the web!

I went back today after being contacted by the service technician informing me that more of the components had been taken apart and that he'd gone as far as he'd needed. It'd be a good time for me to take more pictures and so I took some more:

All the parts laid out


Screws, fasteners, bolts, etc all organized


Even under the skin, there's CF components


Rear suspension components under the covers


Nothing but "tailight"


Rear brakes (note the e-brake caliper on the lower right)


Rear shock


Interlock tab for center hub unit


Some of the many tubings


The black tube leads air into the rear rotor cooling it


Close up of rear caliper


Front brakes (note the ventings)


Passenger side mirror


Components all laid out


Some of the many foreign made components used


Rear bumper


Rear side fenders


Wheels and battery


Top view of battery


Instructions given

What's so amazing about the CGT is that there are all of these awesome and beautiful finished CF parts in places that nobody would expect. Porsche seems to have gone out of their way to make every place where CF weave is exposed look absolutely perfect, in addition to being 100% structurally solid. I just love it!

More awesome pics, Jason! I'm really impressed that you were able to get in there to even get some of these shots! Must've been a tight fit for you and your camera!

That car is so incredible. Thanks Jason for sharing the depth of this car. You can see where every nickel was spent.

I'd like to thank Jacob, the service tech for allowing me a chance to get up close and personal pictures of Kuzi's amazing CGT. I hope to go back once he's finished and get some pictures of the CGT fully assembled on the lift. He's also been extremely gracious about taking time to answer whatever questions I had as well.

Hope you all enjoyed these pictures. I took pictures of a 997.2 GT3 that was sitting in the showroom also. I'll post those up soon too so stay tuned for those. You know that it's going to be spectacular.
