Default Finally pulled the trigger

After much agony and discussions with Kevin I finally pulled the trigger.
2002 996tt 44000 miles,factory aero kit, new brakes tires and pss10 suspension. Only thing that potentially sucks is that it's a tip.
Last weekend my wife and I flew to SAN Fran and drove down to Monterey. Boy these are fast. Now it's on a transport heading home!!! Also just got my tune in the mail from Kevin at ultimate. Should make the car that much more incredible!!!!

Anyway hope to do some drives with you local boys some time soon. I'm in Olympia WA!!!!

Congrats, I'm surprised you didn't drive it back. That's the best way to get used to the car.

Congrats, I love the aero kit wing. You should consider reinstalling an aero kit front lip. It'll help balance the aerodynamics.

Unfortunately it didn't come with that. The owner previous to the one I bought from probably got sick of scraping it up. I'm actively looking for an alternative. Any ideas??

Luckily for you the front aero lip is one of the cheapest aftermarket lips available. There's a few different listings on eBay.
You might be fine with your lip (looks like the C4 style), unless your driving at 150 mph.
If the front end begins to feel floaty at high speeds, it could be because of the different lip.

Nice. I have fond memories of the Olympia brewery. Hope you get enough dry days to enjoy.

Congratulations!

I am in Vancouver, WA. I am about to purchase a 03 turbo. Who did you use to transport your turbo to WA.?

Thanks!
Mike
