Thanks, I haven't done a fun documentary build in a long time and completely enjoyed this one.
I still need everyone's address on the mugs! Unless you guys want to pick them up!
Tecnocraft Collaboration Project:R8 [PPI Auto Design, BBi Autosport, OEMPl.us]
7
Just wanted to share our documentation of the newest (and quickest) project car we'll probably ever work on given the time constraints... a PPI RAZOR R8 undergoes weight reduction surgery with a 130lb drop off the OEM factory Audi R8 seats. We received the R8 this morning and I took the liberty of yanking out the seats myself as a headstart - funny how much there is in common with the Tecno G 
.
The only caveat would be that we have the vehicle for only today and tomorrow night. On Thursday morning it gets packed up by BBi to ship out to Road America, Atlanta where it'll be raced to hell and back by PPI NA. Among other projects (some of them top secret) lined up for the R8, this one just has to happen in one day: T1 seat transplants...but we have to prototype fabricate all the custom mounting hardware!
It's also great to be working with other like-minded manufacturers about product manufacturing (from where we can call for local support if needed):
•PPi providing all of us with TWO project R8s (yes there's a red one)
•BBi Autosport handled the track-ready KW suspension work and exhaust fabrication
•OEMPL.us installed all the PPI product to perfection.
We'll be handling what we can with the weight reduction. Will we finish in time? Luckily, we've reserved a set here specifically to this car (the rest are going into GT-Rs!). Wish us luck for tomorrow? :bitenails:

I did what I could in regards to taking photos - was completely rushed! Hope everyone enjoys.

Thanks guys, we have another project build I should probably throw up soon, but not in this threadall i know is if i win the lottery tonight, you will be seeing another R8 to do this same exact thing to
.
Pics of the whole car please
Believe me, it isn't that we're not interested. Let me know what you have in mind?
I wish we had time to dedicate a photoshoot to the car, this particular R8 arrived right on time. We may be able to shoot the red R8 when I return from Toronto.Pics of the whole car please
I, I....Robot
Seriously, that seat def looks like it belongs in Will Smith's R8 in I, Robot...coolGoodmorning everyone. Fresh pictures from the front:
- Anyone want a TECNOCRAFT mug?![]()
And a preview of what we'd like to see outfitted just a few hours from now...
- The pair of seats in the back are the transplants...![]()
More to follow, gotta finish that cup and get to work. There's a certain height the seats need to attain to retain the functionality of the existing custom fabricated rollbar and safety harnesses.
Thanks, I used two VIVI 285H's cybersynced triggered off my hotshoe. Extremely pressed for time so I went with Alan's mobile setup (in-house photomaster/web/awesome). Usually don't use the mobile setup, but it was quickest and easiest rather than lugging our studio equipment around.
More soon everyone, gotta move her to sick bay.
what if we want them, but cant afford them?
