When professional vert skateboarding legend Bucky Lasek picked up his 2001 Porsche 996 Turbo, he needed get rid of that stock status! So he turned to Vivid Racing to gear up! Coming from a fully built Supercharged BMW M3, Bucky was used big Brembo Brakes, Vorsteiner aero parts, Bilstein Coilovers, and some amazing 3pc wheels. With no sound, stock ride height, and lacking that look, VR has pointed this 996TT in a new direction. Now that the BMW M3 is sold and shipped off across the country, Bucky needed to being the process. So we first flashed his car with VRTuned ECU Tuning. The Porsche 996TT isinherently laggy till the turbos kick in. With the VRTuned ECU Flash, his 996 Turbo came alive by giving him better throttle response, smoother power band, and a big increase in TQ and HP. In addition to the ECU flash, Bucky also added some Agency Power diverter valves, an Agency Power exhaust system, and a K&N flat panel filter. These mods combined add 100HP to the car! Not only can he skate, he can drive, check out www.lasekracing.com. So before his upcoming track day, we hooked him up with some Brembo 2pc replacement rotors for his 4piston calipers, Pagid RS19 brake pads, and some Agency Power brake lines. In the meantime while he hammers out his wheel decision, the stock turbo twists were painted black and some H&R 7mm and 14mm spacers were added for a flush fit. Finishing off the handling situation is a set of Bilstein PSS10 coilovers to be installed. In the looks department, Bucky is about to add a MaShaw GT2 Front Bumper and Rear GT2 decklid/wing for a much improved look. Stay tuned for updates on his project build and magazine coverage. Thanks for the support Bucky.
