Originally when we bought the 997TT in from Chicago there were little in the way of modifications available. We created some in the form of tuning, worked with other companies to build intakes, etc. The one thing that simply was not available while leaving the PASM in place was suspension modifications. Knowing that the car [...]

What do you do when you have a dash of stock gauges that doesn’t lend its self to any space to do anything cool…As I love to say in other aspects of my life….create the space!! When I purchased my car it had to have the sport chrono in order to take advantage of the [...]

We have a very good customer that has sent various cars to us in the past. One of his priors was a very nice 91 965 that after 3 weeks of mods the car was truly to die for. As all things come to pass so did this car. No sooner than it sold I [...]

Since I’ve literally grown up around Porsches and live and breathe them now, they are second nature – a part of me. I sometimes forget about their exotic intrigue. The awe in people’s eyes when they see the 997TT we drive on a daily basis, often goes unnoticed. I am by no means belittling the [...]

When one opens up a book and sees this many parts the normal person would run like hell. Many years ago when I opened that book I must have a laspe in sanity because I went, “COOL”! I think I can put that back together. I must be insane, but that probably has been well [...]

For those Porsche fans who have been residing under a rock during the last month you may not have heard about the explosion that rocked the Porsche Production Factory and put a halt to all 911 builds for about two weeks. The explosion was reportedly cause by a technical problem in the painting area where [...]

Which came first the chicken or the egg? Which is better the Turbocharger or the Supercharger? They both are very similar. The mechanics of these systems is where the difference is found. They both offer their own advantages and disadvantages but it depends on you, the driver.
So what’s the difference?
The Turbo-charger uses exhaust gases to [...]
January 24th: 997TT, or Swamp Monster?

When this car showed up on transport from Canada, my jaw almost hit the ground. Not only from the fact that this car came down on an open car carrier, but apparently the driver had been caught in a snow storm, and well….you can see how the car looked. It was so bad, [...]
