Nice one looks really nice and a good spec too do you know what power it is. Next step is to get it the ring and use it for what its meant for.
Heres a couple of mine on the ring

The owner said anywhere between 525 and 550 as it has never been on the rollers, its peaking at 1.3 bar. The coilovers are a bit harsh but it has been set up and corner weighted for fast road and the ring. This car use to have the same Techart wheels as yours , looks stunning in yellow

That should be quick then have you drove it much.What coilovers is it on? Mine did just under 500bhp on the rollers and had over 500lb ft torque from 3000rpm right up to the rev limiter. The k24's make a big difference over the k16's. I may be selling the tech art wheels and getting some ccw c14's, 9.5"x18" fronts and 12"x18" rears. I do like them bbs lm's though

Its J.I.C coilovers with adjustable top mounts , im going for a proper test drive on Fri hopefully as by the time the inspection was finnished today it was too busy around Edinburgh. The work on it was done by Rob Beresford @ Car Tech Prestige Ltd in Hartlepool have you heard of them.

Yes i've heard of them,think they have a very good reputation in this country for work on porsche's,my car runs between 0.9 and 1 bar of boost which is standard for a gt2 i think so yours will be very lively.Mine's still on the standard billy coilovers and h&r springs but some time soon i want to change to the kw variant 3 manthey racing set up with monoball top mounts
