Porsche 718 Cayman GT4RS Track Build

The 2024 Porsche GT4RS is already a capable track car right from the factory, but if there’s one thing we believe here at TBR, it’s that there is always room for improvement. We know that taking any car out on a race track is a risky and dangerous hobby, but we love doing it, and encourage our customers to drive their cars the way they’re meant to be driven. With that, most high-end “track-ready” cars are not equipped with all the safety measures and chassis tuning required for a proper track day.

This new 718 Cayman GT4RS was purchased with the full intention of putting in some proper track time—and that’s where we come in.

This customer wanted to install a half-cage harness bar and a pair of Schroth racing harnesses. We worked with BBI Autosport, notorious in the Porsche world for their build quality and product integrity, to source one of their harness bars made specifically for the GT4RS. The installation required cutting into and routing portions of the cage through interior panels, trim pieces, and carpet. The stakes were high, but our expert technicians made sure everything was done precisely and finished as it would have been done in the factory. With the new harness bar installed, the car will feel more responsive on the track, in addition to adding some on-track safety features.

In addition to the cage and harnesses, we installed a camber adjustment kit from Tarett Engineering to dial in the perfect track alignment. In the end, the customer was very pleased with the installation time and the fit and finish of the new track components.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Track Tuning

Our clients have great taste in the vehicles, and even better—often track their cars and drive them the way they’re meant to be driven. This particular customer has been a regular at the shop since purchasing his 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S for everything from custom upgrades to regularly scheduled oil changes and maintenance.

On this occasion, he wanted to lower his ride height to maximize on-track performance and complete a few other regular maintenance items. The customer had a track day coming up and wanted to get his Turbo S set up with a track alignment—the same process we use on our race cars. Our skilled technicians at Thunder Bunny Racing made short work of this and had the car turned around and ready for some track day fun in under 48 hours. 

This Porsche 911 Turbo S, and many cars like it come into the shop every day for regular maintenance, repairs, and performance upgrades. We are proud to specialize in BMW, Porsche, and Audi platforms as well as other European vehicles from custom one-off projects to something as simple as an oil change.

TECHART x Porsche 718 Cayman S

What makes a Porsche 718 Cayman S better? More power, obviously. As the best place for Porsche maintenance and service, a customer chose Thunder Bunny Racing to do just that, but without ruining the quality of his ride. Our experts chose TECHART as the right fit for him, with their years of experience in Porsche repair and service, they knew that it would deliver more power, while still keeping the refined ride that Porsche is known for. And, as a licensed TECHART dealer, Thunder Bunny Racing is uniquely qualified to make it happen.

As you would expect, the installation went smoothly and the results were impressive. Before we installed the TECHART kit, we ran a baseline dyno pull - then installed the TECHART Power-kit TA 082/S1. After the install, and some tuning, we saw an increase of 44hp and 60 lb-ft of torque, while not degrading the quality of the Porsche’s ride at all. 

The client couldn’t be happier, his Porsche had more power, still drove as smoothly as the day he brought it in, and knew that the experts at Thunder Bunny Racing took care of his car as if it were their own. Thunder Bunny Racing is built on this kind of service, being the exotic and European automotive hub in Greenville, South Carolina, we pride ourselves on our abilities with this, and any other Porsche service.

Shark Blue 911 GT3

Porshe knew exactly what they were doing when they created the Porsche 911 GT3. The aggressive body lines paired with 4.0 six-cylinder motor make this machine any car guy’s perfect vehicle. This particular client spec’d his GT3 in a stunning Shark Blue and was loving everything about his new ride. However, he asked if we could install a virtual mirror—similar to the option in the new C8 Corvette—so he could see past his wing taking up the entire back glass.

While we had never done something like this on a street car we let the customer know were very familiar with the process having done it on a number of our race cars—like our Toyota GR Supra GT4s and Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. He trusted our certified technicians to do the job and within a week we had the camera and mirror wired up and installed in his vehicle. The camera placement was perfect and exactly what the customer was looking for. 

At Thunder Bunny Racing we love special one-off projects clients bring us along with providing regular maintenance services such as oil changes, alignments, and other preventative maintenance, including performance upgrades like turbo kits and exhaust installs. There is no project too big or too small for our experienced, well-qualified technicians.
