Porsche 997.1 GT3 Street Cup Weekend Track Car Build
Greetings Pelican Forum Members,
We would like to present this clean White Porsche 997.1 GT3 that we recently built. Our client wanted to take it to the track and brought the car to us upon immediately after taking delivery. To ensure safe and reliable operation, we welded the coolant pipes to prevent it from catastrophically failing despite the vehicle's low mileage. Subsequently, we installed our BBi StreetCup Roll Bar, Suspension Components, and many other goodies.
All BBi Autosport products are now available directly through Pelican Parts and we are definitely proud to have established this great partnership! Link to Pelican BBi Autosport Parts Catalog:
