Hey folks, James just finished installing the first kit TechArt nose-lift kit in the US today on a customer's EVT700 997TT. It's a pretty elaborate set up, including a hydraulic pump, plenty of lines, couplers and electronics as well as a nifty home-link switch replacement. Dan whipped up a demonstration video featuring our chief scientist and test pilot behind the wheel.

We've got a lot more to do on this car (including a full Type II conversion) so it's back to work. For those of you interested in purchasing a kit and for more information check out:

Here's a few pix of the installation process starting off with all the parts (and there's a lot of them):

The all-important pump and battery tray (very neatly put together I must say):

Here's one retro-fitted with the techart kit (top) and regular coilover (bottom):

In she goes back into the front:

The hydraulic lines need to be run careful and secured out of the way:


Much of the front trunk area needs to be removed etc..

In goes the battery tray and pump

Out comes the homelink panel..

And the switch panel (a lot of wiring etc...)

 

hahaha. love it!

 

wow! Wonderful job! thanks for the detailed post.

 

Cool video. Nice work...It looks like the helper spring is now placed over the main spring?

 

Great work Alex, Dan and James. I love it! Just another quality SharkWerks project. See you in about a week.

 

Cheers very much John!
Thanks Neil. Our pleasure. We really do have fun doing this stuff!
Danke bbywu and TechArt does provide replacement springs for the front with a new helper spring correct.
Thanks for the kind words Sparkhill and we're looking forward to it:

 

That is bad ****! And the Shark helmet to boot She needs to see this clip.

Is mine ready???

 

I sent her another thank you Email... I was floored when she brought that by. Her 580HP 997TT Cab is swell too I've said it before and I'll say it again us Porsche-folks are absolutely barmy aren't we?

Yours is on the chopping block. Come by tomorrow and get some ahem "ideas" lol! Drop me a line on the cell, James will be there but Dan/I are on a secret test mission tomorrow with PDK Caymans, PDK 997S' somewhere in Northern Cal.

 

That is extremely cool.

 

sweet...i was wondering if it would work on a honda s2000 with coilovers too?

thanks

 

Nice job, i'm waiting for mine to come

 

Great kit ! it's a must have if you live in my country hehe

 

nice video and great job!
definitely a great thing to have

But I`d love to do it Chuck Norris style..
not lifting the nose to clear the driveway/speed bump,but flattening the driveway/speed bump to clear the nose

 

This is one cool kit man... and people will be watching from the sidewalk. Great job TEAM!

 

Sure does help around here Thanks mate!
Cheers and in principle a kit like that would work yes. I'm sure there's someone out there making these?

You'll like them!
Thanks and hopefully it'll help
LOL too funny and thanks for the kind words!
Cheers pal! People did think we were weird with the helmet and stuff
