Dealer (stealer) I did the same from Amazon. Only the rear engine struts were not Exactly the same. The right side clip that holds the electrical wires did not fit perfectly. Good enough though!

Put my euro GT3 drivers seat in. Yes, I had a set and sold them. This is another set I found locally that are in much better shape than the first set. They also came with the Brey Krause fire extinguisher bracket and mount. It was on the passenger seat but since I don't plan to install that for awhile I moved it over to the drivers seat. I'm not sure how much I like it, it just barely hits the back of my calves sometimes. I may end up removing the fire extinguisher.

I love the seat tho, fits me so much better than the stock sports seat. I sit IN the Euro GT3 seat vs ON the stock sports seat.

Inspection today, in 100 degree heat.
Only 9 months overdue.
Oops - I need to drive it more. Or sell it. Or something. It’s not made to sit on a tender, that’s for sure.

MotoJB, Curious, are you still AWD? Doing the simple RWD will make it handle like your 2 wheeled toy. ( A former M/C racer)

Yup, after having a '99 C2 Cab for 7 years, then the TT, the only thing I didn't like was the AWD. Driving like it's "on rails" and the trucky heavy steering takes the fun out of it.

Put some miles on after bleeding brakes and clutch system (replaced some hard lines) and replacing trans and front diff fluids. Everything went great...fluid wasn't old but most recent change wasn't documented, so now I know that it's all good down there. Minimal amount of shavings, no chunks! Plus the brakes feel noticeably better!

Earlier this year I broke the new clutch in over 400 miles of easy driving, so it's nice to know I can drive more spiritedly now that everything is good.

Also spent some time looking at tire sizes, and confirmed that this car has run 235/35/19 and 305/30/19 for AT LEAST 12 years and 30k miles.

Cruised Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with the top down after sunset. It was 68 degrees.

Oh, and I'm less than 60 miles from hitting 111,111 on the odometer.
