"Checkbook" 997 PCA H Class Race Car Build
Decided to build (have built) a 997 H class race car. I know this is pretty much a DIY board, but thought some might be interested in a "checkbook" build of a race car. Intersport is going to do most of the "real" build, while I do the easy stuff. We are shooting to get it together in time for the Turkey Bowl in November if all the parts arrive in time. I traded in the 993 race car (if anyone is interested it will be for sale at Intersport) for a 2008 997 regular carrera with 30k Miles.
First off, this will be pale in comparison to what Vicegrips did in Adding Lightness from the Ground Up. It's going to run in Stock H, so modifications are limited (and work is being done by a shop.) Here's the list of what's going to be done: Piper Rollcage 3rd Radiator GT3 Rear Wing GT3 Front Bumper/splitter GT3 Rear Bumper GT3 Brake Ducts Front GT3 Brake Ducts Rear GT3 Drop Links F/R GT3 Swaybar F/R GT3 toe links GT3 Lower Control Arms Front PCCB Calipers/Turbo Steel Rotors (same brakes as GT3) Rear PCCB Calipers/Turbo Steel Rotors Guard Limited Slip Sport Clutch M&M GS Conti Headers M&M Custom Straight Pipe Center Exit Exhaust Moton Clubsports Rear Shock Monoball Mounts Front Camber Plate/Monoball Solid motor mount springs Subframe Solid Bushing Kit Solid Thrust Arm Bushings Carerra PCCB Front Wheel Carriers Rennline Strut Brace Fire Suppression System Sparco Halo Driver Seat Sparco Passenger Seat Schroth Harnesses Window Net Kill Switch Wheel Studs/Lugs (25) 2 Sets Formula 43 Wheels Sparco Steering Wheel Rothsport Quick Release Pagid RS29s Stainless Brake lines AIM MXL Pista Data Logger Replay Camera/Remote Motorola Radio/Harness/Antena Cool Suit VBD Wrap Picked up the car last night and had it stripped by this afternoon. Lost about 190lbs by removing Seats, Front/Side/Curtain airbags, carpeting, PCM/Nav, all interior trim. Unlike the 993, it only took a couple hours to remove the adhesive from the interior, where the 993 took days. Race seats and steering wheel going in on Monday so car can be fitted for a cage at Piper starting on Weds. BTW, if anyone is looking for 997 parts, I have seats, wheels, full interior, PCM/NAV, exhaust, and other stuff available soon Here are couple before pics of car

I like how the pulled out carpet still has the vacuum marks from the dealer.

I don't see a sub hole in the driver's seat.

Looks like it will be a nice car. But won't this be a prepared I car based on these mods?

Nope. All by the book. We had one or two questions and called Ray (PCA CR Compliance) to make sure it was allowed. PCCB brakes where a factory orderable option. We called Ray, and we are allowed to use steel rotors with them. Wing isn't actually the GT3 wing, but the Aero kit wing (same thing as GT3 but has one opening to airbox vs 2 for the GT3.)

LOL! When picking up the car, loaded it on my trailex and hood hit the crossbrace for the tire rack. 997 GT3RS sits 2-3" lower and fits fine. Had to pull car off and drive it home.
