Default Home Safe and Sound....now to look for parts :)

Gang

Well after a long drive and lots of odd weather we got home last night. From Sun, Whiteout, Driving rain and wind the TT was just fine.

Gave her a bath this AM and am going in for a proper oil change in a bit.

I will be looking for parts if anyone has used stuff around.

Shopping List:

Aluminum or CF Shifter and EBrake
Lowering Springs (only slightly)
Short Shift
Additional Rocket Launcher

Have had more comments on this car so far that I did on my White C4S. It HAS to be the Red. Has to be.

I think it's the big holes in the rear fender.

Great looking car.

Welllllll there were a few "stories"

First was the oil change which if it were not for Dell they were screwed.

Crossed into WY at 5900 ft and the CEL went off. Turns out from today's dealer visit Porsche put out a software update for high altitude.

Brake wear sensor went off at that time to and although all pads looked good still had an issue. Probably a bad sensor.

The clutch was replace 2k ago and it felt odd to me. They confirmed my thought it is the Accumulator No biggie with a DIY

The alignment was so off that the inner part of the rears went from plenty of tread to next to nothing. Dealer replacing tires and helping with alignment cost.

Now that being said....The thing rocked thru Blizzards and torrential downpours. Got 28mpg and looks great (has to be the holes in the fenders)

I am going to mod-aholic anonymous, but it won't work Dell......I just know it. Hell you have seen what I do to cars.....It is a sickness......or a superior race I don't know

I'd like to think we belong to said superior race.

Being a modaholic and suffering from Porscheritis isn't so bad to have, is it?

Resistance is futile. I started with a cd holder delete. NBD. Then I had to do a pumpkin eradication. Next was bumper plugs. Now I've gone and ordered the Dension Gateway and SmartTop.

What's next? I shudder to consider the possibilities.

We should start a group and pretend we are getting help
My name is Adam and I've been a mod-aholic since 1998. I mod anything I touch and can't stop.
