Exclamation TechArt Noselift Kit installed @ SharkWerks (demo video)

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:

http://www.sharkwerks.com/products.php?pid=211

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...)

You know you do quality work, when most of the commoners can just say, Wow!! Great work Alex and James. Carrera GT's could use that very principle getting in and out of the driveways!!

Thank you ever so much Kenny. Very nice of you to say that... I agree the CGT could really benefit from that too!

We'll be putting one on the RS soon as well
