Sorry for the late update... Just catching up with my forum duties before we head home. In a nut shell, the Tech Art GT front bumper would be an _under_statement. It's a conversion if that makes sense. It's a lot more complex than doing a GT2 conversion ever was on the 996TT that's for sure. The plethora of parts is insane! Shrouds, brackets, hardware, lights, harnesses, headlight washer parts, carbon oh and the bumper A lot of pieces need to be transfered as well from the chassis and original bumper but the workload is worth it because the fitment was _dead on_. We're not finished yet but here's a few of the toys going in:

Before doing any EVOMS EVT700 (we're up to 6 here now) you need to address the clutch and so the upgraded clutch kit (Pressure plate, disc etc..) is essential. Out comes the transmission:

Here you can see the 5mph bumper protection which also needs to be cut slightly to fit the bumper along with the new lines for the washer (the next time we do this we're doing a headlight washer and nipple delete). In go the fog lights, shrouds and so forth...

A test fit...

ok fellas, just a quick update before we head home. The front end _conversion_ is done and it's the most aggressive front I've seen on a 997. Up there with the GT3RS for sure. We got the carbon lip and vent clear coated...





With the turbos/BRVs and all the oil/water lines back on we dusted off the Tubi Race exhaust. So far so good. Hmm the cats seem to have gone missing





James is buttoning up the heat shields but you can see it's quite different to the "street" version being a single canister design. I'll be sure to take some video once she's broken in.



The rear end needs to be modified to fit the larger intercoolers but the shrouds still fit well.



Test fitting the rear bumper..



Very aggressive looking and _huge_ openings exposing those intercoolers



Very aggressive looking indeed but houston (Stuttgart) we have a problem Unless we stay reverse DTM the Tubi Race Exhaust and GT Street rear end is going to need some more modification. This is why TechArt has another muffler I would imagine. The outlet for the tips isn't in the same spot as OEM. We'll have to weld some extensions and bends to the outlet pipes and we'll be ok. More work for tomorrow

Oh and then the meat and potatoes of any EVT700 is those turbos and the EVO BRV kit...

Very nice. Can't wait to see vids of the exhaust.

 

car looks great- you and the owner are definitely creating a masterpiece.

 

That EVT700 is ridiculous. I will be driving Evo's car at a 3 day track event here in MN next weekend Alex. They are also binging Myers's 3.8 beast. Ill post up some shots after the event.

 

It's so smoot yet fast... and of course quick-spooling. I'm really liking that kit Mike said something about going to the track so you boys have some fun and for sure let's see some action

 

those rear bumpers are dead sexy - can't wait to see the final car.

- chuck

 

There is a similar white one over here which sports the same front bumper only with the rest of the Type 1 kit, Kahn design 20" mesh wheels, fabspeed exhaust.

 

I need to come check this out in person. How about a shoot when its finished

 

Man that car looks so damn good, love the Techart pieces especially on that color, Techart rear is MONEY!
