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.

Porsche 991 GT3R R16 Street

Its been a while since we have updated the blog, with so much going on there is just not enough hours in the day as well as people, we are pulling some serious hours on some amazing projects.

Back in July we did a post on a build our Partner in the Philippines was doing, our Porsche 991 R16 Evo GT3R carbon fibre aero kit, Angie Mead King AKA Car Porn Racing doesn’t really need much in the way of introduction as she is a formidable car modifier who is known globally throughout the scene and Angie has finally finished the build.

Considering Angie used the 991 GT3 RS as the base car for this conversion rather than a none turbo wide body Porsche chassis is extremely commendable, we know just how difficult this conversion is when fitting a kit to a chassis it wasn’t really intended for and the overall look of the finished car is simply breath-taking, especially around the rear quarter panels where Angie and her wonderful team have cut in the side air intakes back into the kit that did have the intakes, this is a part that we will be adding to the kit over the next few months but Angie beat us to it using her modification skillset, so happy to have this lady as part of the extended VAD family of dealers, well done Angie you did us proud, now all that is left to do is paint or wrap the beauty. #PorscheRacing #porsche991 #Porsche991GT3R #991GT3R #porsche991gt3r #GT3PORSCHE #PorscheTurboWideBody #PorscheTurboR #Turbor #Porsche991CUP #Carbonfibre #PorscheAeroParts #PorscheCarbonFibre
