In a thrilling turn of events, Tj Hunt unveils a monumental package from Porsche, signaling the beginning of a manual swap for the RS. The team eagerly unpacks a robust manual gearbox along with a slew of accompanying components essential for the transformation. Not stopping there, they procure missing and damaged parts like an intake plum, sensors, and engine covers, showcasing their meticulous attention to detail. Initially considering a PDK transmission, the team pivots towards a manual setup, securing a rare gearbox from Porsche at a premium price.
As the project unfolds, the cost breakdown reveals a staggering total of $163,000, prompting a strategic plan to recoup expenses by selling off parts from the green RS. The meticulous process of disassembling and separating the front tubs proves to be a Herculean task, met with unforeseen challenges that test the team's resolve. Despite setbacks, the team's unwavering determination leads them to innovative solutions, propelling the project forward with unwavering momentum. Collaborating with seasoned experts, the team navigates the complexities of merging the tubs, showcasing a harmonious blend of skill and ingenuity.
However, a formidable obstacle emerges when a crucial oversight is uncovered - the purchased front tub does not align with the intricate gas tank setup of the GT3. Undeterred, the team devises a bold plan to modify the tub, embarking on a high-stakes mission to transform the 911 Carrera tub into a GT3-compatible masterpiece. With time ticking and pressure mounting, the team races against the clock to prepare the tubs for the ultimate union, epitomizing the spirit of automotive innovation and unwavering determination in the face of adversity.
