Porsche 991 GT3R R16 Street

Its been a while since we have updated the blog, with so much going on there is just not enough hours in the day as well as people, we are pulling some serious hours on some amazing projects.

Back in July we did a post on a build our Partner in the Philippines was doing, our Porsche 991 R16 Evo GT3R carbon fibre aero kit, Angie Mead King AKA Car Porn Racing doesn’t really need much in the way of introduction as she is a formidable car modifier who is known globally throughout the scene and Angie has finally finished the build.

Porsche 991 GT3R Street Build — Porsche 991 GT3R R16 Street

Considering Angie used the 991 GT3 RS as the base car for this conversion rather than a none turbo wide body Porsche chassis is extremely commendable, we know just how difficult this conversion is when fitting a kit to a chassis it wasn’t really intended for and the overall look of the finished car is simply breath-taking, especially around the rear quarter panels where Angie and her wonderful team have cut in the side air intakes back into the kit that did have the intakes, this is a part that we will be adding to the kit over the next few months but Angie beat us to it using her modification skillset, so happy to have this lady as part of the extended VAD family of dealers, well done Angie you did us proud, now all that is left to do is paint or wrap the beauty. #PorscheRacing #porsche991 #Porsche991GT3R #991GT3R #porsche991gt3r #GT3PORSCHE #PorscheTurboWideBody #PorscheTurboR #Turbor #Porsche991CUP #Carbonfibre #PorscheAeroParts #PorscheCarbonFibre

BMW Z4 GT3 V8 Street

It’s been a while since we have had the time to sit and write a post and we have so much to discuss with so many things going on at the moment, it’s been ridiculously busy but we really want to get back to releasing new blogs and what better way to kick things off ...our BMW Z4, yes finally our GT3 V8 Street build is complete and were happy to say all road legal, taxed, tested and MOT.

This build has taken it time, but for all of the negatives this build had along the way is all but forgotten when you’re in that driver’s seat, this car is next level out on the street, we have built some show stoppers over the years, but nothing comes close to the attention this car brings, it’s absolutely crazy, the grin factor doesn’t leave and its sounds like it looks, all we can say if you do embark on a z4 gt3 build then do it properly and install a V8 of choice, you really will not be disappointed.

Our V8 choice was the LS3 and we would highly recommend this option, our engine partners build and supply LS3, LS3 Twin turbo or if you’re after the cubic capacity you can request a fully built 680hp LS7, which they have also fitted in their Porsche C4S 997 R13 demo vehicle, but that is another story.

The weekend will see us join up with the Bilstein UK crew at cars & coffee which is happening at Demon Tweeks in Wrexham and we will then be heading to the “Z” fest in Leicester as well as hopefully heading to Stafford for the Max Power reunion in August, we will also be at the Gravity show at the NEC, so if you see us at any shows come and say hello.

One thing we have learned with this build is pick the your build team you want to work with wisely, doing the due diligence is key especially if they come recommended, or as we found out Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or any other of the leading media platforms doesn’t show the company in its true light, only what they want you to see, what should of taken us 12 to 18 months to construct has taken 4 years because we said “yes” to working with certain companies along the way for company exposure, all were desperate to work with us on this unique build, but we put it down to experience and enjoying the fruits of our labour and we now do pretty much everything in-house or with our reliable professional partners we now work with.

Now it’s time to enjoy this build and get to as many shows as we can.
