Old & New 997 Slant Nose Update.

With any kit especially a wide body the first thing you really want to do is trial fit, and believe us the excitement is real, so with the air ride all sorted it was dress up time.

The RAD boys had already said how impressed they were at the quality of the kit, and as we said in our last post they were extremely pleased, and even more so with the fit of the kit, the quality is exceptional, which we already knew, as we had seen it previously up close and personal some twelve months previously, which is why its on our website and associated with our brand name, but we understand why they were a little concerned as these boys fit kits on a regular basis, so they know what is involved in building a top level show car, which is what this car will become for the Reflex brand.

With the test fit done and the boys well happy it was exhaust time, and that was entrusted to EMP Performance. If you recall, we showed the cut out on the OLD & new rear bumper that had been done for the exposed exhaust look, so it was a case of no going back, any although it wouldn't of been our personal choice, we do like that racer look for the rear, its radically different to any other slant nose that has been put together so far, so kudos for thinking outside the box with their ideas.

EMP Performance Exposed Exhaust, for the Old & New Japan Slant Nose Porsche 997

We know what the finished car will look like in the way of paint scheme and graphics, so this merely adds to the look they are aiming at, with the exhaust complete, wheels delivered and caressed with Toyo Tyres, its now time for graft, with the kit fitting and bodywork prep, lets hope its ready for Ultimate dubs show in April, and lets hope ultimate dubs is ready for this.

Old & New 997 European Build Update

The start of January saw the OLD & NEW aero kit for the Reflex 997 arrive from Japan, and we must say its a really is exceptional quality, not that we expected any different as we have seen the kit up close and personal when we were at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2017, so we knew what we were signing up for then, but its always nice to see the product land in the UK without a hitch and all parts enclosed, and the guys at Reflex were all like kids at Christmas.

The first job on the huge list of upgrades was the Air suspension, Matt Clifford works with Air Lift Performance on the photography side of things, so it was inevitable that Matt would hook this ride up on air, and we believe this is the first Porsche 997 to be fitted with all Air Lift Performance products, so its not just a first of its kind slant nose 997 for Europe, but lots of other parts are a first time too it would seem, which all adds up to a really unique build.

With the suspension complete it was time for Johnny and Matt to get the rear bumper modified for the all new exhaust that is being constructed, they are stepping outside the usual and adding not only a touch of class, but also their own take on how they want this build to look, and it takes balls to cut up a brand new £14k aero kit that you have just taken delivery on, but as we said they know exactly what they want for this build.

Next stop EMP Performance for some exhaust manufacturing goodness.

Porsche 997 Wide Body R, Nears Completion

The main part of the build for the Speedwells Porsche 997R Bi-Turbo is not far of completed, just the wheels, and tyres to fit which should be over the next couple of days and it is pretty much done, as all conversions of this size it will take a little longer to get all of the little updates done like the front head lights, the grills for the front and rear bumper which all have to be patterned then laser cut, we could of gone down the motorsport grill look, but this is a road version of the R, so Iby wanted a more road look with the grill set, and doesn't want to mix race with road and we can relate to that as there are hundreds of race going 997 R’s around the world, but very few out right road cars.

We are really looking forward to the show scene for 2018, with our own BMW Z4 GT3 V8 hanging out with our good friend Iby and his Speedwells 997 GT3R, both in road going trim, this is going to be one very special year. Stay tuned for more picture updates when the wheels and tyres are fitted over the next few days, we can’t wait.
