thank you everyone for all the kind remarks,

quick question:
do you guys merit it necessary to disconnect battery when installing mufflers (after the cats) and new intake filters? i assume the system will notice the new found air in and the less air out.. but i assume disconnecting the battery helps it learn quicker?

Never done that, but seems like a good idea.

I didn't do it when changing the oil and just about every filter this car has, a couple of weeks ago. No issues after that.

No need to disconnect the battery.. The ECU will learn very quickly. Beautiful car! Enjoy that bad boy! I can live with the side stickers.. But not the rear..Just my opinion..

Awesome! I have someone coming to tint my car on Friday! Now I'm debating going 15%, 30% or a mixture of the two.

Love the black site vent....screams Turbo. I agree with others...ditch the rears sticker stuff and put on the Turbo badge. When are the coilovers going on with the HRE wheels? I hope to see your car in person real soon!

Hey Riley,

18 months ago, I came across this car during my search for a 997 TT and I wanted it so bad that soon I ended up buying a white TT.

However, ever since I bought my TT, I have been trying to figure out what color those wheels were until I looked at the pictures again today and suddenly it dawned on me, heck you now own the same very car. What a small world it is

http://www.truspeedmotorcars.com/car...s.php?cid=1834

Is this your car?

Later
