Hey guys,
This local 2008 997S came into to us a short while back for an extreme make-over. As far as power goes, every bolt-on possible was installed, including our light weight flywheel kit. The Bilstein
PASM coil over kit, sway bars and choice aero parts were also added along with some HRE C-21 wheels. I thought it was a neat car that many of you would enjoy.
First things first, the EVO V-Flow intake is installed along with the RSS
Plenum (which reduces turbulence):
On goes the EVOMSit performance software calibrated for the light weight flywheel and 91 octane:
The restrictive stock headers are prime for a set of longer-tube equal length EVO replacements.
A full performance exhaust system is also installed along with the headers:
A pair of larger dual tips are also installed for a more aggressive look:
The stock suspension is removed in favor of the Bilstein
PASM Damptronic (with H&R sway bars) kit and lowered by 1.5 inches:
Off comes the transmission in preparation for a light weight flywheel installation:
The stock flywheel is now ready for removal to be replaced by the single mass SharkWerks light weight flywheel kit for better acceleration:
In she goes along with a 50% weight reduction in rotating mass!
Originally she had the Rinspeed INDY front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and wing installed. The front was later changed to the more aggressive factory 997GT3 bumper:
There she is with the Rinspeed rear bumper and wing:
19 inch HRE C-21 Competition wheels were chose in a brushed/clear finish with polished lips:
Here she is on display wearing her "SharkWerks" badging at a local car show:
Here's a video of the car in action!

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
