White 997S gets Shark-a-fied with LWF & HRE Competition Wheels

This 2008 white 997S came into us completely stock and left with a whole host of track-ready goodies including the SharkWerks light-weight flywheel conversion, EVOMSit software, Tubi Exhaust, and a set of light-weight HRE Competition wheels.

The "classic" before shot as she arrives for surgery:


Up she goes to tackle the transmission and exhaust first:


Out comes the transmission to get access to the factory dual mass flywheel:



The single mass flywheel saves 14 pounds:


A close up of the heavy and quiet factory system before it gets replaced with the Tubi system:


Out comes the factory intake system:


In goes the free-flowing and better-sounding EVOMS V-Flow unit:


The ECU is benchflashed with the EVOMSit software calibrated for 91 octane:


Out comes the rear main center console in preparation for the B&M short shifter kit:


Installed:


The factory wheels before being replaced:


The HRE Competition C-93 wheels in brushed/clear finish:


In the rear:


And a close-up of the brushed/clear finish on the centers:


Ready to leave:

No we all have different tastes For stock wheels, the ones he had are actually quite nice and much better than the lobster forks
