997 GT2. If you can't buy it, build it!

Thanks everyone, but please remember - as I stated earlier - I am not working on this project and I didn't take the pics so I have trouble telling you any details. Sorry...

I have a 996 GT2R which was built from a 996 T/T shell, and another GT2R under construction, for which I am considering going with 997 panels.
I am paricularly interested in the roof air duct and the front wheel louvre vents.
We tubbed our rear guards to get the car down to the factory ride height of an RSR, but in doing so, have severely restricted the air flow to the intercoolers.
We made all the carbon panels for our cars, as nothing was available here in Australia, but I would rather just buy the roof vent etc , if someone is already making them.
We have the 2 GT2R's, an '03 Cup Car, a 993 RSR, and a 993 GT2 (GT2 is being refurb'd.)
I'll send some photos of our cars when I work out how to attach the photos?
Cheers Wayne

Zim
Do you have contact details for Holger?
Our cars have the front panels as used by PSI Motorsport, But the ZIM front guards with the louvre vents look to be a better thing.
I have a naca duct in one of the rear quarter windows with ducting to the driver, and at times we get such hot air coming in it is like sitting in front of a hair dryer! I think it is a combination of the air coming off the front brakes and from the side exits from the radiators (Porsches shouldn't have water!).
This air flows down the side of the car and is picked up by the naca duct, so it is probably also being picked up by the intercooler side inlet scoops.
So by putting the louvres on top of the guards we can duct a lot of the hot air in that direction, plus I imagine there is also some aero effect to be had by exiting the air above the car?

The vents in the front guards on the black GT2R on his brothers website, look as though they were moulded in the guards, not added later?
Do you know if he is doing the 997 panels yet?
I'd be happy for you to speak with him initially to see where the vents are coming from? I have a race meeting in 2 weeks time, so the vents would be quite a help if we can fit them to the existing PSI front guards.
Is he doing the roof scoop and rear window?
Regards Wayne

The roof scoop and rear window and duct are by DP.

Like I said. That tire is unobtainium these days. And such a fantastic size too, shame they don't make the PS and Cup in that size
If a 'friend' at michelin can get them, please let me know.
