Hey folks, James just finished installing the first kit TechArt nose-lift kit in the US today on a customer's EVT700 997TT. It's a pretty elaborate set up, including a hydraulic pump, plenty of lines, couplers and electronics as well as a nifty home-link switch replacement. Dan whipped up a demonstration video featuring our chief scientist and test pilot behind the wheel.

We've got a lot more to do on this car (including a full Type II conversion) so it's back to work. For those of you interested in purchasing a kit and for more information check out:

Here's a few pix of the installation process starting off with all the parts (and there's a lot of them):

The all-important pump and battery tray (very neatly put together I must say):

Here's one retro-fitted with the techart kit (top) and regular coilover (bottom):

In she goes back into the front:

The hydraulic lines need to be run careful and secured out of the way:


Much of the front trunk area needs to be removed etc..

In goes the battery tray and pump

Out comes the homelink panel..

And the switch panel (a lot of wiring etc...)

 

Excellent post, and another excellent SharkWerks project. I look forward to trying out the "other" option.

 

Cheers and see you next week... Looking forward to it! Walter Rohl -approved no less!

 

pretty cool. good job sharky.

 

That's a great video, thanks guys. I was thinking about this video as I heard the sound of a Aqua Blue lip scraping while backing out of a driveway last night

 

Is this mod expensive ???

 

I imagine it is expensive, but looks like a very well put together kit. Veryclean install as well!


Can you put the nose up or down as you drive or do you have to be stopped?

 

Thanks!
Yes I hear you on that Dave Doing it on the RS soon...
Thanks and you can drive up to 39mph with it up before it goes down automatically

 

VERY COOL!!!!! so can't accidently forget to put it down and screw up the aero of the car

 

6 seconds up, 9 seconds down? thats way too much time.. geez do a better job or something.


















jk.
Can you use it while you're driving? As in, when you raise it to leave a driveway or go over a speed bump, can you drop it while still rolling?
edit: nevermind i just read about that 39mph thing.
