Hi Everyone,

I’ve had several 911’s, but I remember when I got my first 996 Turbo back in 01. It took most of my free cash to make the payments, but I had to have it. I also remember reading posts from ballers on the internet building freaky fast Porsche Turbos, upgrading the performance and handling in ways I could only imagine.

… so in 2005 back in Ottawa Canada my local dealer had a “Turbo S” and it was to become the car that I would bastardize into perfection (yes, I took a car they only made 300 of and fixed it! Hehehe).

I just had a recent suspension upgrade that rivals all the other ones so far and I’m amazed at the precision, a millimeter of steering input and the car responds… I ran over a chipmunk and I felt it pop in the palm of my hand the feedback through the wheel is so accurate.
I asked Colin Cantrell how we bring already amazing handling up a notch and he suggested we start getting rid of squishy rubber bushings. I agreed and he ordered me front camber plates, rear shock tops, rear toe links and rear upper links all with spherical bearing ends... so basically we removed the majority of squishy rubber bushings and replaced them with ball ends… Amazing… it was as significant as the initial upgrade to Motons.

Here is a list of the suspension mods on the car as it stands, recommendations, installation and setup by Cantrell:

- GT3 sway bars front and back
- Adjustable drop links
- Moton Club Sport coil-overs and adjustable remote reservoir shocks (I don't remember the spring ratings, but they are intense).
- adjustable camber plates and rear shock tops
- rear toe links with ball ends
- rear upper links with ball ends.
- track alignment

Also for handling

- Nitto NTO1's (sticky sticky rubber)
- HRE C90 competition wheels (very light)
- car came with PCCB's
- Roll bar (stiffer, safer)

Sorta for handling - weight reduction ~170 lbs

- Replace stock seats with European Carbon Fiber 997 GT3 seats, ~20 lbs each.
- Removed rear wiper, and motor
- Removed stock trunk lid with lift actuators for wing and replaced with CF wing and trunk
- CF hood
- No rear sub-woofer cabinet
- No rear seats
- No spare tire
- Rims mentioned above
- Light weight fly wheel
- Car came with PCCB's (but over non-PCCB about 20 lbs a corner)

Performance by Kevin and UMW:

- Stage II ZC (Zero Clearance turbos)
- Headers
- CF air intake
- Europipe Loud Exhaust
- Diverters
- Solid Motor Mounts (997 GT3 RS)
- Racing Clutch

Car made 540 AWHP on Pump, 580 AWHP on 100 octane.

I think I’m done… maybe some interior cosmetic stuff… but I think this car is finished… maybe…

my goodness! that's amazing! i had to laugh at the "the car is finished.....maybe". hehe! maybe, eh?

 

pics or ban SETH

CONGRATS BRUV

 

Need Pics!

 

I'll get some pics up. It was spotless two days ago but a garbage truck leaked goo water all over the road (soaked it) and I had not choice but to go through it for a 16th of a mile.... now I need to clean it again (I have had little spare time lately).

 

very impressive specs ... looking forward to seeing the pics and car at future events ...

Can't wait to see this beast...

 

 

Are you going to be at the Exotics on Main meet this Saturday? Perfect time to bring her out and have some pics taken.....

 

UMW Stage 4 then you'll be done.

 

Errr..... with BB turbos and water kit.... HAHA! With rods you'll then have 640AWHP prob on the pump and zero issues on blowing the motor @ that output level.... but we have to face facts.... 540AWHP and around 590AWTQ is ridiculous power anyway for street life and with a solid, experienced, aggresive driver, it would be very, very tough to beat this car under any conditions. At his point, it's highly driver dependant. I still want to drive it.

 

Seth's car looks amazing!! I bought Seth's old wheels and saw his car at Cantrell, and it really does look great!

 

Kunal

saw your car the other day with Seth's old wheels - looks great bruv!

 

Thanks!

 

Run my buddies 13 year old BMW in a straight line and you'll definitely opt in for more power output =P
