I too am looking for a modded 993TT I've had my eye on this one for a while. Does anyone know this San Diego car? If so your thoughts PLEASE! I love everything about it except for the wheels, and steering wheel (easy fix). I am about to take the next step to go out and drive it.

Also I plan on keeping my 993TT for a long time (10-15yrs+) will a hihgly modded car like this one hold its value?

Island Boy,

Looks like a nice car -w ith some very expensive and tasteful (and some not) upgrades. The steering wheel is actually a good one - but i hear you on its looks!

As for "holding its value - as far as mods go - it aint that modiifed so I would say it shouldnt be an issue - As for being the same $$$ value in 15 years - crystal ball ?

Just buy it (PPI dependant) and drive it

SImon.

Thanks for the feedback Simon. Just curious what are some of the not so tasteful upgrades IYO? Only one I'm not too sure about are the Turbo S ducts on a non-S car and the wheels have to go.

I'm not too familiar with the Autothority stage 3 kit any feed back there? The searches I did on it turned up some positive stuff but wasn't much there. I just want to drive the thing do a PPI, and talk to someone who knows the car.

I should start a new thread. Don't want to thread crap.

Islander,

In my eyes - the wheels, steering wheel, boost controller (in plain view) intercooler (Stock is more efficient anyway) - and not too sure about the mismatched colour on the seats (could be my monitor though) LOVE the techart front bar and ducts+lights and need to re - align the exhaust tips...

But other than that you might need some GT2 Flares and a wing and a few other little things....

Best,

Simon.

^^^^^ What he said !

If the car passes a PPI - Go for it - some of this undesirable bits will help pay for some cool good bits

Its the right colour anyways
