Gorgeous TT! Send me a PM if you're doing a Malibu canyon run, I usually go on the weekend mornings soon after sunrise

I have to say....the downside of a TTS is the centerlocks...so much better of a wheel choice....and also easier to swap wheels...call me old school. Your car looks great...wheels make it look even better.

Yeah my 2 criteria when I went Turbo shopping was
1. No centerlocks
2. Sport design steering wheel only, no crappy looking multifunction wheel.

Just wondering if anyone is attending the Malibu C&C this upcoming Sun morning and interested in doing a drive in the Canyon roads?

I'm out of town this weekend or I would be attending C&C and heading to the canyons. I went two weeks ago with a group then ended up at Malibu Kitchen for lunch

yeah, how we all have certain criteria that is a must...for me it was white exterior and ceramic brakes. Ever since I experienced ceramics on my lambo, I cant imagine having anything else...NO BRAKE DUST!

Yep. For me coming from beloved NA X51 GTS engine in the new era of everything turbocharged it was then go real Turbo with a Twin Turbo and S
Creature features like Natural leather, Remote start/entry Glass roof were all nice to have. Failed to get a 5-lug wheels, unfortunately. Ceramic brakes is a plus.

Nice car OP!

Went to local South OC Cars & Coffee last weekend, parked next to a couple 991.2 GT3s, chatted briefly with the owners. My 30mm drop in ride height puts my car at nearly identical height to their stock GT3 machines.

Car looks fantastic OP. I don’t understand why Porsche doesn’t include the front grill meshes like they do on the GT cars for the turbo cars. I am curious to see how your GMG springs compare to my tech heart springs.

somewhat unrelated question. I may need to start a new thread. Has anyone here experienced the situation where they have their iPhone connected to the PCM via Bluetooth and are listening to say Sirius satellite radio or Spotify and then they leave the car. When you get in the car the next time and turn on the car it goes to FM radio and the volume is so loud at practically ruptures your eardrums.

I ordered a set of the Zunsport grill inserts to protect the radiators and make the car look a little bit more finished. But then I realized I have the ALP laser diffusers in three of the grills so they don’t fit. So now I will have my local shop: Musicar NW which is an amazing shop by the way make it all work. I love those guys.

when you set the volume with streaming music, which is typically higher than the radio, due to the volume control on your phone, it stays at this high level when you switch back to the radio, which is way too high

when I'm streaming music from my phone I try to remember to turn the volume way down before I leave the car, so I don't get blasted next time I start the car
