Default I am now a 996TT owner!

Well, I did it!!!! I picked up my new (to me) 2001 996 TT, Guards Red Aerokit beast!!

2001 996TT Guards Red, black interior.
Full leather (ruffled seats), and I mean full! Ever bit of the interior is covered with it!
Embossed Porsche crest in the seats
Red Seatbelts
CD changer
CF steering wheel
CF shifter and brake handle
AS center console (gonna change this to red)
Bilstein PSS9
FVD Exhaust
Its chipped (unichip) but will convert over to our PSI products after a bit.
Clear side markers
Red bumper plugs!
8500 miles!

Some of you may remember this article (Nov 2003) in European Car magazine. My car was owned by Noel Lee of Moster Cable. He took amazing care of it, as he does with all of his automobiles. It's really cool to have a car with a neat bit of history to it.





100 cell cats from RUF, TRG short tube headers, KKK competition developed K27 (1.6bar) turbos, GT2 intercoolers, FVD exhaust, Brembo eight pistion 15" cross drilled brakes, Bilstein PSS9s, Unichip ecu... all bringing 550hp and 425 tq.

So, now skip to today, what is left on the car is the FVD exhaust, the PSS9 suspension and the UNIchip.

As far as what I plan to do to the car? Hmmm...I'm keeping it the way she is for the moment and enjoying her. The FVD exhaust is delightful with zero resonance, I really like it. When you are on it, it gives you a seriously nice roar! (However I am thinking about EP)

I plan to dial in the suspension and lower it just a tad more, stiffen things up a bit.

And later on, I'll PSI tune it. But, for now, the Unichip stays.

Wow, fantastic Robyn, now we both have wet spots

Great car with lots of extras, I too was looking for a "special" TT.

You do know we have a 996 TT section right

Congratulations! I'd like to think that my interest and purchases in high end audio/video have somehow contributed to this acquisition.

ENJOY!!

A red TT in California? You must be crazy. CHIP will give you speeding tickets just for the hell of it.

Great car. It's the sports cars enthusiast's ultimate dream car.

Robyn - Sweet ride. One suggestion for your first mod. Contact Eric to get some painted bumperettes.

Hey Robyn, nice car and congrats!

Stay with the AS center console, red will be too much and I would rather do the ***** shoe and sidevets in AS as well.

Ciao,
