996 Gt2

[DJones]

been doing a bit of work on the Porsche, was thinking of selling it for a Gallardo and to be honest the Porsche is a better all round car and quicker... and most importantly the Mrs would of nutt'ed me...

Anyway I set to in making my Turbo a GT2 replica (ish) as in I don't want rear wheel drive with nearly 600bhp. Incedently I test drove a GT2 but the four wheel drive is so much more stable.

Hence its a 4 wheel drive version.... its 30mm lower and 30mm wider all done with original parts and the rear decklid gets delivered tomorrow, but the front is now finished..

Anyway we all love pictures so I thought I would share.....

Nuts, thought you were gonna sell it (to me) and buy a GT2

Do you have any PB or G-Tech or other logs (taken under WOT acceleration) on it?
I have tons of Porsches (stock and modified) in my excel database.

Lol, no farming out, mini spray booth this time all done in house.... Even bought a new gun....

colour match looks spot on. For some reason I really like the split colour scheme on the sill line....is that stock?

Yes it's part of the plastic under tray. You can't see any metal cill underneath, the bottom of the car is virtually flat plastic with air scoops for various cooling ducts etc. Just four metal jacking points poke through..

Lol, I think you did some before for me, that said it has GT2rs inter coolers now which make a huge difference on WOT pulls..

[EspenW]

Yep, I have data from the UR and RS4, but not from the TT, I think?

[DJones]

I will dig some out but you did do some for the P.

Looks awesome Darren, very jealous
Do you have any pics of your "booth" you built when you sprayed your UR? Thought I remembered seeing some but can;t find them now. What gun have you bought?

[DJones]

Thanks Alex,

See below for the thread with pictures of the booth.

As for the gun I got a Devilbiss FLG with a 1.4mm tip. Incredible value for money and the finish from the gun is outstanding

Cheers

Darren.

That's the same one I have, well worth the £100 it cost

[Error404]

Cheers Darren, trying to work out if I have enough space at home to paint mine myself
