Talking 2009 997TT Project @ SharkWerks - Mission Carbonium

I think I've said this before but my favorite 997 TT project car came back in for more. I think it's really "finished" this time. It already has the EVT700 kit with the EVOMSit TCU upgrade, a full TechArt Type 2 aerokit, Bilstein Coil Overs, TechArt noselift, full RSS links/bushings and sways, TechArt DRLs, HRE Monobloks and too much to list...




Here's a video showing the car as well...

Anyways the last area that was relatively stock was the interior. All black so we set on a MACarbon bombing raid

Here's what the interior looked like when she came in:




Our weapons of choice...


Door panel has to come off for this but here's the result:


Over to the center... the before:


Over to the center... the after-math:


More...


The stock parts pile up..


CF is now taking over...




Also installed were Silver belts and the CF wheel with carbon and paddles For more on the build:

Excellent work sharky, did you weigh the CF and the stock items you removed to see if there was any savings there?

Looks great!

LOL steady on No weight savings there... Weight savings on the wheels, exhaust, brakes and other areas tho

Grazie tanto! The TCU upgrade seriously gives it a mid 10-second ability. We know it'll trap 130-132 already. With a few more miles who knows maybe it'll come back for some engine stuff too eh

Absolutely there is and it's the EVO pedal set.

Great Work SharkWerks!

Alex and James did a great job on the Turbo.


Here are a few more pics taken in natural light with no flash. With the flash, the carbon looks 'plasticky' and the actual carbon texture disappears.

HOLY MOLY! This car is also one of my favs to follow along with and wow its just getting better by the minute.

How is the tip to drive with all these mods? Would LOVE to see a video of the paddles in action too. Sorta like the old school pDK turbo LOL

Great work as always

Really nice but what a shame to waste all the optional leather wrapped stuff from the factory. Why spend on the leather extras to just replace them with CF?
