Default Finally!!

I finally picked up "my" turbo today. It's an 2001 black/black, 20k miles, bone stock except for h&R coils. Thank you to everyone (esp Chuck Jones) who offered and had helped me with my search. Now that it's finally over, I can start enjoying the car (...and focus back at work)

Weird pic

Edwin: That's NOT a picture....c'mon guy...give us some pictures that aren't back lighted and have weird refraction and show us the car!! That's a distorted silhouette not a picture. Congratulations on pulling the trigger, and welcome to the forum as a TT man. You're going to love this car. Give us some particulars on it too...mileage, options, where you got it etc. You have to share in the excitement of the acquisition....

Hi Chuck,

Sorry but that is the only pic I had when I drove it back to work today. Details are:

2001 Black/black
20k miles
Bone stock except for H&R coils
clear bra

Bought it from a local guy 20 miles from my work. Checked it out yesterday...got a PPI done today... and picked it up this afternoon

Here are some more pics from the seller's ad

congrats, how do u like the suspension? I have it on my TT as well but it feels a bit tippy. The stance is great for my wheels but I'm thinking of swapping out a few other things down there to make it "feel" better. Was your ride fitted with anything to compliment the coils? links? bars? arms?

VERY NICE CAR!!!!
20k miles is childs play, the po should be ashamed he didn't drive more, perhaps even fined.
My 07 has 28k now!
Now it's time for an exhaust, recently heard the 996tt version of the europipe, sounds really good.
