    Default Heffner TT R8 Build thread. Live from Miller Motorsports Park.

    (Well, almost live.)

    We got a bit of a late start today due to a delayed flight but thankfully Roger Miller and Scott from TDC Motorsports were able to get the car on the lift and get the wheels off to save us a bit of time.

    Upon arrival at MMP I have to say that I was simply amazed at the scale of this facility. There is a Kart track, a supercross track, an off road course, a road course that in it's full length is 4.5 miles long, clubhouses, garages, racing schools and tons more cool stuff that I will remember tomorrow.





    I'll get some more of the track when we get the cars out.

    First we get the rear bumper and exhaust removed.







    All of the turbo system parts are laid out, inventoried and inspected prior to installation.



    There are a few odds and ends to do prior to installation of the turbos, mid pipes and down pipes. Even with a late start we were able to get the turbos hung.



    Tomorrow Dave from PPI should be here to get going on the suspension, brakes and body kit. I will be sure to get some good pictures. Thanks for reading.

    Awesome work guys and thank you Jason for such an in-depth "inside look" at the process.

    I honestly feel like I am attending an Audi training school with this thread.

    i have a question about the R8 TT, it says on the website it develops xxxRwhp, but isn't the R8 awd? just wondering if someone could clarify that?

    Great to see this done outside of the shop, very interesting.

    That can be tuned out. If the car is running a stand alone ecu, then it isn't an issue at all.

    I think I remember someone telling me the dyno only reads rwhp.
