2012 997 Turbo S With HRE CL40 Wheels, EVOMSit & Tubi Exhaust

This white on black 2012 997 Turbo S came into us for our stage II performance kit, including the EVOMSit software and Tubi Exhaust. Also on the menu was a full suspension overhaul including the Bilstein Coilovers and full RSS Tarmac line of upgrades. A TechArt Noselift was retro-fitted to assist with steep inclines/driveways. Finally an even lighter set of HRE Centerlock P40 wheels were added.

In she comes with her rather "tucked-in" factory offset spec wheels and 4x4 ride height:

Meanwhile, the EVOMSit tuning is installed via the OBDII port and tuned for 91 octane:


19-inch HRE CL40 Monoblok wheels in satin black are added into the equation. Each corner is now 3.5-4 pounds lighter than the factory wheel. More importantly the offset is considerably more aggressive now and the wheels no longer "tucked-in"- even with the new lowered ride height (approx 1.5 inches lower).


And now officially "Shark-Werked":
