CJ - After owning a C4S and modding it for a couple years, I determined that the modding would never end. Decided that the best option was to find an already modded car the next time. The return on mods when selling are not very good, maybe $.10 on the dollar if you're lucky. So if you have a choice and ultimately want a modded car, I would buy one that the previous owner has already spent a bundle on. Good luck

scott i always loved those wheels on your C4S..
the plan a year ago was to get a 3.8 andial twin plugger, but when they folded the tent on that procedure i was pretty disappointed. that's when i started really exploring my options, but i keep going back to a 993 TT that's already fully gone through the upgrade parade.

any mods that you guys regretted on your TT ?

Here is the transformation of my 993TT in the past 2 years...

When we first met....


First mod... Bilstein HDs


First set of new shoes (996TT-S, my faovorite)


some new GT1 blowers from Ultimate Motorwerks


some high flow Gemballa mufflers with 100 cell cats


RUF Aux oil cooler


Euro Front Bumper


Euro Rear Bumper and Turbo S tail


2nd set of shoes (19" HREs)


Still a little more to do in the interiors... Recaro A8s

I was warned about the slope and never thought I would slide this far but its been a great ride. But I agree with you... if you can find a nicely modded 993TT within your requirements... you will save a lot of money.

damn thats not a slope thats a freefall! tell ya what- i'll trade you some Texas Ranger gear for a ride in the polar silver bullet train one of these days!

For the price of a 993tt and mods/repairs I coulda bought a 997 GT3 w/ a warranty. The only plus I see is way better acceleration.

yeah, but then you'd have, um, coolant! brad, i hope to see your car in person one day.

Don't want to hi-jack but I had to let you see this.

It uses the existing threaded holes of you rear seat belts. Its a heavy gauge steet bolt with eyelet and quick click dis-connects for the straps. Plenty of RL sponsors carry them.

No such thing as a slow guy in a twin turbo......be safe.

sorry everyone, now back to your reg. scheduled thread.

CJ, I'd look for a modded car as well. Over the last yr I've been going round and round with a friend to buy his '97TT, we can never seem to come to terms. I would end up spending 20k to mod it to my tastes, so I decided to just buy a new one, but it's just not the same.

johnneurauter

Thanks Tom, I think I actually have everything already as long as i don't care about losing the rear belts.

Air Kuul TT

Any time C.J... I'll be back in the No. Dallas area around the holidays.

Tony (Air Kuul TT),

That is a great looking car. Its one thing financially to buy one done but to develop it yourself also gives a certain satisfaction far beyond the $ return.
