Porsche 997 GT3 R with a difference

We are pleased to announce that our Porsche 997 GT3 R13 LS7 V8 is now officially complete, built by the extremely talented duo at LSX-Performance Kyle and Ashley, this is one Porsche that you will want sitting on your drive way, so let’s look at what makes this 997 so special.

It started life as a very sick 997 C4S and as with most of the 991.1 3.8 engines this one also had the very famous piston slap and not even 100k on the clock, which was the main reason for buying this particular car as we had discussed with kyle 18 month previously that this build would wear our forged 3 piece wheels, along with our R13 GT3R wide aero kit and he would build one of his very special bespoke LS7 V8 engines with this one pumping out 680 HP on its highly tuned AWD chassis.

On this build we worked with Nitron Suspension fitting at set of the NTR R1, that work in tandem by the GT3RR manufactured adjustable arms, that position the wheels to perfection with all the caster and camber adjustable, the set up will need to fine tuning over the coming weeks, although we do like the Nitron set up, all builds moving forward we will be working with our long term partners Bilstein who will build us a system specifically built for our application.

The car needs a bit of fine tuning and the air intake system that GT3RR have developed now needs some miles and we have developed a new engine cover and rear wing assembly where the intake filters reside, the engine also needs its final map, then its just a case of getting this beauty out and about for people to see up close and personal.

We will be building this platform as a drive in drive out turn key conversion with everything done in-house with GT3RR and BCFAB at our new base in Market Drayton Shropshire, we have base models in stock ready to convert, so they are at the stage of choosing your engine specification along with body colour, so get in touch with us for further information.

Porsche 997GT3R LS7 V8

It’s been a while since we have dropped a blog post and with a build like this one we have going on it needs to be shared globally as we have been asked over and over where is the build at and you will be please to know this build is almost complete.

This amazing 997GT3R build has been held up because we didn’t want to run a conventional GT3R race wing, that’s been done to death and its nothing new, we also wanted to have a 993 style GT2 engine cover with the side air intakes that used to feed air into the air cooled engine bay and its something we wanted to bring to the 997 LS7 V8 builds, but again the GT2 rear wing on a 996 or a 997 isn’t new and we wanted a different look than the usual GT2.

We managed to source a Gemballa style cover, but on delivery and inspection the quality was terrible and a part pretty much fit for the trash, so we decided to revamp and redesign with a cover that could be functional, so the side air intakes will have form and function.

With any 996 / 997 V8 conversion the air filter will want to sit where the power steering pump is situation so you have to convert to electronic steering and relocate to the front boot, but we dislike that the filter system is getting no cold air as its sitting in the engine bay sucking hot air, with our new set up the panel filters will sit in the engine cover which is an exclusive set up for this conversion.

With the build coming to the end we will be out and about at many shows this year as we can, so follow our network to see where you can see the car up close and personal.

Porsche 991.2 2018 GT3R R19

If you follow our social media, you will know that this time last year we teamed up with Angie Mead King AKA car Porn Racing who are based in Manila and to say Angie built something special is a bit of an understatement, she basically took a 991.1 GT3RS base car and applied our R16 wide body that is manufactured for the none turbo wide body chassis like the basic GT3, C4S etc, so to pull this off shows the skill set this company has, it’s a pretty special company who take on build like this on a weekly basis.

If you follow Angie on YouTube you will know she crashed her pride and joy Porsche 991.2 GT2RS and damaged the body work pretty badly and although she has looked at rebuilding the car to factory spec, that has now changed, the new look for this car will be an all dry carbon fibre factory R19 GT3R wide body aero conversion and boy oh boy are we excited, as not only are we supplying the aero kit but we will be privy to all the inside build updates as they happen.

This is going to be one of the most unique Porsche builds globally and although Porsche have built an immense race car, Angie’s will not only be a track breathing monster, but a street legal one too, imagine the world first R19 GT3R built for the street, what’s not to love, we will keep you posted when the kit has been shipped.
