@@maverickcheston8874 it’s a manual but it’s built by JM Imports so it has a lot more power, not too many shifts needed on Curborough as it’s a tight circuit and each gear carries higher speeds now. Thanks, until the end. 😂

@@jenniferharris7633 I didn’t know that but I called Porsche as soon as I saw this comment. Officially there hasn’t been any communication from Porsche to the dealers about continued production but it is rumoured. The problem is the GTS allocations were cut ages ago, I think they have a separate (or separated) production line. I’ve asked to be told if they do have any new allocations but I can’t imagine they’ll add them back again. Fingers crossed!

@@KingandTitanRacing The 2025 models and options are on the Porsche North America website, and my SA confirmed it last week, but he doesn't know about allocation numbers. What caught my attention was the new addition of the color option Vanadium Gray Metallic. Beyond gorgeous.

they only produce RS versions now, both in spyder or coupe variants, gtc 4.0 is gone forever.

@@KingandTitanRacing Perhaps different in other parts of the world but I just ordered 2025 BGTS 4.0 2 weeks ago and got an allocation (October 2024 build) a day later (Canada).

@@YungEBT you could use chopped fiber but that would definitely be more expensive than fibreglass mats. I’m not sure if it would be stronger or not over a big flat area as the weave in the mat gives a lot of extra strength.

This 3000GT has been built by JM Imports to around 330BHP, that’s the first stage of a 2 part process aiming for over 400.

I just found out, it’s an Evil Empire Performance blow off valve, they make parts a load of parts for the 3000 GT.

If only it was intentional. 😂

😂 I think this is my favourite comment I’ve ever had. Thanks!

We're going to do a car update in a few days... TBC

We're going to do a car update in a few days... TBC

Absolutely, and this one has been built by JM Imports up to 350 BHP so it’s very quick for a chunky thing. Thankfully the car survived and will be seen back at another track soon!

this guy doesn't even have one and telling you how to pronounce the name, when both are acceptable!

@@seang3538nope. It’s “Porsch-a” for any Porsche enthusiasts across the globe, akin to a secret handshake, insomuch as when you say “ Porsch”, it’s abundantly clear that you’re NOT in the know.

Agreed, I only had the proxies on there as they were practically brand new and wanted to burn through them. I had Michelin PS4s in the rear though and that’s the end that slipped out. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve thought about semi slicks but haven’t had the budget for them yet, also the tyres need to be road legal as I drive to and from the track.

😂😂 I’ve managed a few times myself now. It certainly is a thrilling part of the day out.

Agreed, but in this case I was so far away from the track it felt safe. By the time the car stopped I was already across the next piece of run off and effectively on the service road. My main goal then was just check if the car could drive back to the pits or not. I had to bend two brackets I’d made back and then it ran okay back thankfully.

To be honest I couldn’t blame it on the car, the steering felt very stable and didn’t have any wobbles. I managed to unsettle the car by lifting at the wrong time.

I track one of these cars, I've never heard this before.

😂😂 “Why do you always do this to me?”

😂 @KingAndTitanRacing on IG

Thanks mate. The car stopped about 20 foot shy of a wall, so got very lucky there. I'm also glad to say the bumper has now been fixed and I've made it much better. I'm back out on track agin in 2 weeks too so I can test some new stuff and get some more footage. Think it's worth me putting a video together of the best parts of this track day before that? Some good action from that day as I was on track for about 2 hours.

@@KingandTitanRacing Lucky missing that wall. Track day highlights would definitely be a fun watch. I reckon you'll have plenty of good clips from 2hrs of recording. Glad the cars fixed up right as well. I'm sure the front ends going to be solid now 😎👍🏽

Sounds like I better get back in the editing booth. 😂 Working on the car today but I’ll certainly get some track footage out soon. 👍

Thanks!

I’m going to start providing it. How much do you need? Have you made a measurement? I’m also going to do a long form video doing the start to finish including templating with MDF.

You’re not a fan? One of the things I love the most for a fast GT car, doesn’t get hot in the sun and you get so much more grip from the seats and wheel.

Rota Grid 2’s. Got them from RotaShop

@@KingandTitanRacing thanks ^^ my MR2 rims are shot so need new ones and they look clean

@@blinkachu5275 these are a great cost effective option. I got them in gold and white to get the sizes I wanted for the body kit and then had them powder coated in a custom colour.

I know.. such a face palm moment when I was editing that and realised. Can I put it down to sun stroke? 😂 I definitely should have known better having the full sales pack for the GTS in my coffee table since its release. Thanks for the support though! 👍

Yeah and that carbon bonnet is brilliant, but more than double the price! 😂

@@KingandTitanRacing Indeed.

Hi Mark, I got them from ECPS group. I’ve had their carbon all over the car for a few years now and it’s top notch. Lots of miles on the car now, road and track with no issues at all. This is their KZbin channel but best to find them on the FB owners group. Michal Pastryk is the guy you want to talk to on there. youtube.com/@ECPSGroup?si=lbVKscMtk9gWbZED

@@KingandTitanRacing I know them - I have their carbon door sills/kick plates already. Was just looking to explore other options (if quality is similar) as the import duty to get their stuff from Poland just bumps the prices up a bit too much now. I have a front splitter from Divinatech (UK based) so I'm going to have a look at their mirror caps

@@markstewart8232 can you let me know what that’s like? I’m thinking of setting up a supply and install service and an auk supplier would be much easier to deal with at first. I’ve messaged you on IG, could you share some feedback when you get them?

I really wish I did. 😂 I think a big part of the problem was the ambient temperature. I was using heaters but it was still very cold winter days outside the garage door. I was actually thinking for my next attempt I would rent a very expensive bit of kit for about £200 for a week and do everything in 1 go. If yours goes well can you tell me what you used?

Thanks! I ordered the kit from china, found it on eBay and then had to do the import etc that I mentioned. The kit had a lot of issues, but nothing I couldn’t fix as a first timer. I’d rather have to cut off a mounting tabs going in the wrong direction and remake my own than pay an extra £1000 or more.

Best guess based on the options and colour/ materials combo would be £83,250 in the UK. This car was sold in Dubai though so couldn’t make a guess at what it would cost there without VAT on it.

@@KingandTitanRacing I’m from Dubai, do you have any experience with the Porsche agency in Dubai? If I used their online configuration which shows prices in UAE Dirhams will they charge the same price or add a huge markup?

@@ddxxbb1 I don’t know I’m afraid but if you see one you like and agree a price, get it in writing that’s what you’re agreeing and the total list of fees and transaction costs. That’s always a good start at least.

Yes I noticed that afterwards, slip of tongue on site and not much I can do after it goes live sadly as you can’t make edits. Very good spot though and thanks for pointing it out.

Good point, but Lamborghini fit a transverse V12 in the Miura in 1966.

17”x7.5” in the front and 17”x9” in the rear, offset you’ll need to know what your kit width is though and measure that distance from the original edge. Using the fitting site I mentioned is great for working out offset.

@KingandTitanRacing thanks the information the wide body kit is from luxurycarpart is called lp super wareento its 7 inches wider from the back and 5 inches on the front

@@juanmireles9850 that’s a lovely kit! Once you get the body kit on you still have a lot of work to go and plenty of time to order some new wheels. You could get away with a thinner wheel if you get the offset right. I’m using 50mm billeted bolt in spacers at the front.

I assume you don’t mean on my Miami Blue spec? That would be a bit much I think having blue, yellow and red. But on this car it’s been optioned very nicely, certainly suits the silver very well.

Thanks! I’d love to do a Targa in the same spec but that’s another £60K so definite hotels out of budget for now.

That would certainly be a way to identify with your car at a meet! And here I am wondering if my Aston Martin gilet is a bit much. 😂

When you use marine plywood it will be fine, you should also paint and protect it if you’re doing one in wood. Mine will be ACM and carbon though which is why I’ve just used MDF for this.

@@KingandTitanRacing cool. Thanks

Brother it’s aero of course you don’t gain horsepower, you’re increasing drag but gaining stability

@@haydencomau clearly the joke went over your head

Good eye! I’m actually making mine rout of ACM & carbon fibre so I just got the cheapest wood I could for this first stage. But if someone was running a wooden splitter they would definitely want plywood not MDF.

@KingandTitanRacing it would work out as a great template for laying down fibreglass sheeting etc too 👍

@@jamesfox3784 very true, I’ll make sure to mention that option too in my next video.

Thanks! I did hit Croft recently for a few hours and had a great session, until he spin. 😂 That caused a delay as I had to rebuild the front bumper and repay that but it’s looking fresh again. Got a video going live next weekend of a Porsche and then I’ve got a few more to edit, track session included.

If you have a stock road car that can be a good solution. But if you’re out on track they have to be hard mounted. Also if you’re creating a custom interior you can use this method and create something that looks great.

No I didn’t see that but I did my own widebody in a Mk3 MR2.

This is a fiberglass kit that I’m reinforcing with additional fibreglass. I’ve not worked with a poly kit before so wouldn’t be able to say.

I did have that issue yeah. I didn’t need to adjust the fuel neck but it does sit a little bit recessed in. Doesn’t cause any issues though. If you need to trim back the opening slightly so it fits then just do that. And I trimmed the metal ring off the original panel to provide a brace for the cap bracket. If you drop me a message on IG I can share some of the photos with you. @kingandtitanracing

You sure do! It’s worth it in the end but I even had to cut off one of the tabs to blot on the front left quarter panned as it was at 90 degrees to where it should have been. One tip I’d give, don’t worry about scuffing the bodywork when getting the alignment right, you’ll be filling and fibreglassing all over it anyway. Just make sure every panel lines up together, if you have a gap at the edge of a bonnet of boot lid then you can use fibreglass to fill that before paint. Good luck mate, happy to answer any questions you have through out.

Also, when you have everything lined up I would 100% take a mould of the front and the rear bumpers, just incase you lose one in a track session or get rear ended. Happy to come help with that so we can both get spares. 👍

Yeah that’s a great benefit of the MR2 but when you widebody the reality is the production of the kit just isn’t as good as factory. I just used the sealant to fill the slight gaps to the edges of the panels I wouldn’t want to remove. Skirts and 3/4 panels. Bonnets and bumpers are on/off all the time. Thankfully mine hasn’t got any rust on it and then I did the under seal anyway as an extra precaution.

@@KingandTitanRacing i feel that normalizes the car a bit. One deciding factor for me to purchase an ZZW30 over the SW20 was the removable rear panels that are otherwise permanent/ common rust spot on japanese cars. at least it's still virtually possible when you get crashed into/ struck by grandma's door at market. even if you must remove extra sealant.
