Pong, your car looks impressive, the change was radical! BTW sorry to see what happened to your RPM guage and how it got sideways 
There are many nice kits that will keep your digital display at the bottom where it should be, while having the 7K at the 12:00 position and straight...
Vince, you have maybe one of the most beautiful TTs out there IMO, but after 3 years, you REALLY need to post a different picture and let us see fully your car!!
Going to take my pill now..

Still waiting
Well after this episode... https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/210541-bounced-off-the-guardrail.html
I got the car back about the 3rd week in August 05. About 2 wks later was back in my riding looking and feeling good. As I approached a stop light, an older fellow in a Cadillac CTS V came up 2 lanes over. Hum i thought... I wonder if hes gonna get on it. Light turns green i go he goes, not really hard thought.... accelerate gradually faster through 1st great... hit second....glance over he doesnt hit it hard... and then finally i see him jump on it... I jump on it, go to power shift into third gear......nothing...... im like wtf? Try to put it in third again barely get it in gear... by now the cadi sees me slow down and proceeds down the road in a normal manner.. I get to a stop light it turns green im doing about 35 struggling toget into gear, finally takes 3rd gear again.... The next light I stop, put the clutch in tried every gear ... and would not engage. I get out of my car in the midldle of a busy intersection and pushed it across the intersection to the other side of the street. Pisssssed offf beyond belief... Pushing this car..... Call AAA they come and tow it to Hoen Porsche here in Carlsbad. Turns out I broke the shift fork.... Get a call later and they tell me I need a whole new transmission. $ 10k,,,, are you kidding me? $ 10,000 for a transmission. I literally shiit myself. Well lucky for me when I bought the car I bought an extended warranty. Highly Recomend !!!! They covered all but about $ 800.00. Sweet Im saved.. But wait.... I needed to replace the clutch so i have them go ahead and do that. So my ride has been in the shop since the 3rd week of August waiting for the dealer to calll the warranty company, so they could send out an adjuster. So Hoen had to order the transmission from Germany. They get it 2 wks ago and were about to put it alll together, and noticed that someone had dropped the flywheel, which cracked and chippped some of the teeth off, so they order another one, and it came in Monday of last week. So now Im waiting for the dealer to receive a check from the warranty company, and my service guys calls and updates me. So I ask well how much am i gonna have to pay ... and he replies " Oh uh just under $ 5k." Does that sound a little high for a clutch and an alignment? I mean i should only be paying for parts right? The transmission is already out getting serviced so they shouldnt have to charge me for labor on the clutch?????? What do you guys think?

I purchased the RS clutch and LWF from a RL vendor for $1400. Get an itemized list from the dealer of each part, part # and the cost. $5K is way to much. Infact read this link from a reputable mechanic in the Bay area. He discusses what they charge for the same job. Here is the thread: RS clutch and LWF-I finally did it! ( 1 2 3 )
