My buddies and I take this route to Buttonwillow Raceway, which includes Highway 33.

I love highway 33, 74 (palm desert end) and 138 (backside of crest line to 15) Angeles Crest Hwy, etc. But the best place to learn car handling (even though our cars are too heavy to be competitive) is on an auto x course. If interested, check out your local PCA.org website. Many chapters have a monthly autos. I know PCAOCR does.

Thanks. I really like the reflection in the car. One has to shoot their car in the shade. Makes the colors pop!

It reminds me of polished metal or the ceramic coating on headers.

replaced a c-clip on the drivers side turbo inlet as the hose partially popped off.

then bent the contacts to the drivers side turn indicator bulb so it would work again. there's something about the drivers side lol

Default 2002 996TT

Purchased my 2002 TT from St Louis owner with 65K miles and drove home to Virginia Beach 1015 miles. Then...

1) 60 K Service Done with New Ignition Coils, brake pads, and front CV Boots inside and out, replaced rear center tail light, polished headlights
2) Bought GT2 Wheels from Mike Lee and had Powder Coated
3) Added Michelin PSS2 new Front and Rear
4) Fabspeed MaxFlo Perf with new Cats and Old Tips
5) UMW Flash (Kevin knows his stuff and very helpful)
6) Bilstein PSS10 Set on 3/ Lowered 1.1 Inches
7) Eibach Roll Bars Front and Rear
8) Tarett Drop Links Front and Rear

I think it is just right and it is good to be back in a TT!!
