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!

 

that's badass!! wish i had that for my car

 

Hehe thanks!
Cheers and sure is useful for those expensive bumpers...

 

awesome.. can you activate it while your driving? (at slow speeds of course) this would be helpful for those known steep driveways in your area.. this this way you dont have to wait

 

Cheers mate.. Actually yes you can drive along up to 40mph at which time it'll lower itself back safely

 

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!!

 

so.. you can hit the lift button before attacking the steep driveway at 40mph

 

awesome

 

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
Absolutely! Just right for speed bumps too!
Thanks pal!

 

Can this kit work with the factory PASM GT3 coilovers?

 

wow ... great job guys !

 

Absolutely it does/can...
Thanks!

 

this product looks like a must have!

 

LOL on the video

Nice system by the way. Looks pretty involved
