Porsche 996 Wide Body

We blogged about this build when it was first launched and apart from the RSR there are very few aero kits around for the Porsche 996 Carrera 2 chassis, Dom the owner of Miles Works Automotive decided he would change that and what a breath of fresh air its turned out to be, the Purists wouldn’t agree but Dom really doesn’t care and neither do we, as this is a build like no other and at over 7 feet wide at the business end this is a serious looking wide body 996 Porsche.

Over the months we have seen the changes being added month after month as the options for this kit expand, so what is new and what is included in the package, what we can say is we adore the optional extra GT race rear wing, it’s a fantastic £2000 addition and one we personally think that this conversion not on needs, it demands it.

The main body has stayed true to form, the chiselled purposeful front bumper is now finished off with the front splitter and soon to be added front race canards, which will finish off the front end, the front flares really do house some impressive width too in the form of 10x19 with a negative -08, clothed with 275/30R19 front tyres amazed they manage to contain the super aggressive offset, we love flow of the side skirt and the way they tie the wide front flares into the super aggressive even wider rear flares, yet it all looks so OEM race car, with the rear flares housing a 14x19 width wheel with a crazy negative -70 offset, they are smothered with 345/30R19, we thought our 997 R13 was wide but it has nothing on this 996 and the best bit is its all tastefully done, its super wide but nothing looks out of place, it just works and looks like the Porsche factory have built it to go racing at Lemans.

So now this stunning design is complete, Dom has been adding to the optional extras list and he now has 3 various rear wing assemblies, our personal favourite is the 993 GT2 evo inspired style set up with the super high blade that screams race car, just seems to suit the portions of the car really well and would be our choice when choosing from the options list.

BMW (e89) Z4 GT3 GEN-2 Street

The Gen 1 BMW Z4 GT3 has been a very successful programme for us, so it seemed like a no brainer to introduce the Gen 2 which is a more aggressive looking conversion compared to the conversion it superseded, with lots of customers asking us what is different about the two conversions, so here is a little run down of the differences between them that most people do not see.

The first major change is up the front end with the front bonnet, it goes from two aerocatches to 3 and where the Gen 1 front flare cuts off aggressively exposing the rear part of the front tyre, the Gen 2 front flare blends back into the rear area of the hood, it’s also slightly wider than the Gen 1 set up, the Gen 2 is a smoother look, more aero dynamic, it’s also a wider to house the 12x18 front race wheel and 315/680R18 slick race tyre.

Another detail change was the side skirts, the gen 2 has the more aggressive sweep and a larger opening for rear brake cooling, it also has a neat little canard to aid with air flow and downforce, it’s a small detail but extremely effective, these sills feed into and make up part of the rear flare which is so much wider than the original Gen 1 set up, it just looks so much better at the rear from any angle, it’s such a muscular look which we prefer.

So what makes our conversion so different to the rest, well for starters we are the only company to offer the complete front and rear bumper grill sets, as well as grills for the hood vents we also offer the authentic Gen 2 rear wing assembly with the dual blades, end caps, gurney, supports with quick release fixings.

Porsche 991 GT3R Street

Over the last few days we have been in conversation with Jon Olsson, chatting about various cars and builds and to say he is infectious is an understatement, he has got us looking into our next build more vigorously, and now we are looking at every detail of the build, in microscopic detail, what have you done to us Jon.

Our 991R project is still in the early stages, but it’s this stage we love, putting all the details together of the build, who we will work with on various components, who we will collaborate with, we already know lots of people that will assist us with the direction we wish to go on this one, as we have made plenty of mistakes in the past, we will not make those mistakes on this build.

We will be working with JRZ on the suspension side with this build, we should have worked with them on the 997 Turbo –R & BMW Z4 GT3 V8, but Bilstein were really good to us on those builds so it was a bit of a no brainer, and they are such an awesome company to work with, and they are local which was an added bonus, but with the 991R we will are really looking forward to working with the Porsche suspension gurus JRZ, when it comes to handling perfection these boys are the best.

The body work will be our usual raw carbon fibre; the colour is yet to be decided but yellow is a very strong contender at the moment, but knowing us that could change. Exhaust will be built by our good friend Craig at Dynotorque, wheels we have chosen will be super lightweight magnesium forged 3 piece from our partners GT3RR, design will be the F1M in sizes and widths 12X20F & 14x20R, wrapped in Michelin 295/35R20 & 345/30R20 front & rear respectively.

Staying on the subject of wheels, we managed to get a sneak peek on Jon Olsson’s Audi 1000 BHP RS6 before it’s official launch a few days back we were drawn to the wheel choice Jon made for this RS6 build and it looks radical, like nothing else on the market and we love that, Jon has always had a great eye for a wheel and this choice has inspired us, Brixton Forged did one hell of a job on the design and manufacture and although we have our own wheel design locked in, we also want to run with a different look from time to time which has made us revisit D-LNG, the Turbofan maestros.

We reached out to Steve the owner of D-LNG a couple of years back when our BMW Z4 GT3 V8 was in its early stages, but we had a change of direction on the build and felt they wouldn’t be the right look for the Z4 GT3 styling, but for the Porsche it’s the perfect look and as racing history has shown the Porsche brand wears them well, and with Steve now working on his all new Gen concave 3D printed designs, this build just has to have them, more updates will follow when the build starts, 2020 just seems to getting better month by month.
