So here is my intro! I recently finished (LOL) my V8 twin turbo Gallardo gated trans wide body Porsche Cayman.

To get here almost nothing was left un touched in some way. I didn't want to give up any compromise in the finished project like many Frankenstein type cars do. I wanted it to be fast, smooth, quiet (relatively) on the inside. Something I could take the girlfriend out to dinner in or go beat on on a road course. Goal was reliable 1000-1200rw and trackable (which means good suspension, braking, cooling, weight CG matters etc)

So this is what I came up after well over 1000 hrs of work. It was built in my garage aside some body work from Casey and from when we laid down the color (we rented a booth). Yours truly did everything except I have to hand it to Larry and Casey (neither on FB) who made the paint and bodywork happen. Would have taken my twice as long and no where near as perfect. The below is just a high level list. TONS of parts were fabricated to make all this work effectively.

Engine:

Forged LSA with LS3 Dry Sump Crank

Ported heads, custom cam

Custom build accessory drive with remote mechanical water pump

Twin Xona rotor 7864

Triple huge radiators up front

Air/Water IC with heat exchanger in back air ducted from custom made wing mount scoop.

Trans/etc:

Gallardo 6spd with DP Billet center plate

Custom drop gears (to get the gearing correct for a low revving V8)

Custom twin disk clutch

Custom 800M axles and 930 CVs

Wheel/Tires/Body

Custom kit based off of one from Precision Porsche

RS based flares

991 GT3 based front bumper (actual 991 turn signals and front lap)

19x 12 rear with 315 Cup 2s, 19x10 front with 265s

Electronics

Motec M150

Aim MXP strada

GT3 RS wheel with custom integration (boost control, front and rear cameras, launch settings, traction settings, and so forth)

All the factor stuff works in the digital dash. Blinkers, head light indicators, fuel level and so on like a factory car.

Stereo:

Fully active 3 way fronts (JL TWK processing)

10" sub between seats

Other Interior:

Tillet carbon seats

dash and most other parts wrapped in either Alcantara w/ green stitching, carbon wrap or painted gloss or flat black

Lots of sound deadening (2" of foam on firewall!)

Fuel:

Custom independently controlled triple pump setup with 1.25 gallon surge tank

edit:
Suspension:

SPL tie rods

Ohlins R&T coil overs

Stoptech big brakes (painted to match car with Porsche Logos)
