In a riveting episode from the realm of TJ Hunt, a transmission worth $117,000 is unceremoniously bid farewell to make way for a new manual gearbox in the GT3. The team delves into the intricacies of the switch, contrasting the PDK transmission's complexities with the straightforward nature of the manual alternative. Unboxing a cutting-edge Olens suspension setup, they extol its virtues for both street and Motorsport applications, setting the stage for enhanced performance. Amidst the anticipation of the manual gearbox installation, a slight delay due to a missing part adds a touch of suspense to the proceedings.

While meticulously reassembling the front end, a glaring issue emerges - the sway bar has been installed upside down, leading to a domino effect of disassembly and recalibration. The team navigates through the setback with characteristic determination, showcasing their problem-solving skills amidst the mechanical labyrinth. As components like rotors are readied for installation, unforeseen challenges like missing bolts inject a dose of unpredictability into the meticulous process. TJ Hunt also sheds light on a mischievous prank involving grape NOS Energy drinks mysteriously appearing in his vicinity, adding a touch of humor to the intense workshop atmosphere.

Amidst the mechanical symphony unfolding in the workshop, TJ Hunt takes a moment to reflect on the substantial financial investment poured into the GT3 build. From the initial acquisition of the green RS to subsequent purchases like the 991.2 manual GT3 and various components, the tally of expenses paints a vivid picture of the dedication and resources poured into this automotive endeavor. Through setbacks, surprises, and the occasional prank, the team at TJ Hunt's workshop continues to push the boundaries of automotive innovation, showcasing a blend of passion, perseverance, and a touch of lighthearted camaraderie amidst the grease and gears.
