I love TWINS at TPC Racing!

Sorry I forgot to post this one up over here!

It is twins day here at TPC Racing.



We have had lots of cars in here this week for track prep for this weekend's PCA Club Race at Summit Point, Sponsored by TPC Racing. So as you can imagine there have been lots of brake rotor/pad replacement, brake bleeds, tire changes, tech inspections, etc...

But in amongst these track prep jobs, we picked up this set of twins.



Both of these cars will be getting our TPC Racing GT3 RS Headers as well as some serious suspension setup. These two cars belong to a couple of our track junky customers, who need their cars to be absolutely dialed in so that they can drive "flat-out". All jokes aside, we are going to be setting these cars up for some hardcore track duty.

One of them will even be getting a set of these...BBS 3-piece, center-lock, race wheels wrapped in some Hoosier rubber!




Mike had to get at least one picture of the TPC Racing GT2 BLITZKRIEG in there....He just installed a new set of turbines, and I hope to have some dyno numbers to you guys very soon!




We've got some exciting new products for the GT3/RS platform, and I will have some release details ready for you guys next week!

Today, we said goodbye to one of our 997 GT3 RS twins.

This car belongs to one of our local customers who wanted a car that was setup to do some relatively serious track time, but wasn't ready to go all out on this car, as he does already have a dedicated track car as well!

So for this car we kept the work to just the front suspension in addition to the awesome 3-piece BBS center-lock race wheels. For this car, we decided to work with the stock sway bars, as Mike does seem to like these factory pieces depending on the setup. We went ahead and performed our front suspension modification, to give the car some more front spring. This is absolutely imperative if you are going to run slick tires, so that you don't overload the front end of the car under heavy braking. We will be working with the customer at the track soon to get his setup even more fine tuned.









And the Shock Upgrade

Awesome set of twins . . . but I have to know, who in the world has an RS like that and declines some suspension mods because he "already has a track car." What, an Ariel Atom?

I love the way that RS looks with the BBS wheels and no graphics. Great job!

nice thread!

can someone enlighten me to what a hobby like this would cost aside from the initial vehicle purchase? a pm or something would be cool if you dont want to post the info here...

Those rims look better than the P40's with the centre lock.
