Listed my Ti Speedtech in the classifieds. As soon as I sell my car I have a feeling I'll be looking for another (GT2???)!

If you're serious about getting a GT2, keep the exhaust and put it on that!

I think it I was getting rid of my Turbo, I think the only thing I would replace it with would be another Turbo, or the GT2....

I'm more of a hoarder, I hope to hold on to all of them.

Great minds think alike.

Made it happy by not bringing it to Northern Alberta and getting it salty.

Buddy of mine needed to borrow my timing belt tools to do the timing belt on his 944 racecar, so I took the opportunity to drive my 996TT from my house the 34 miles through backroads to his. They're calling for 3-10 inches of snow (do they ever really know?) today, so getting that last drive in before the storm was nice. I managed to not get caught up in traffic on the rural back roads around Lake Anna Va and it was a nice spirited trip. I then jockeyed cars around at my place and parked the 996TT back in my shop for the duration of the storm season.

Wouldn't be the worst idea if my wife wasn't part of the equation! Treading lightly for the time being

It's a very fine line between "I support your hobby since it's better than a cocaine habit" and "a cocaine habit would be cheaper than three sports cars."

Also, I just want to note that I bought an extended warranty (aftermarket) when I got my Turbo and my Elise. Both cost about $3,000 CAD, and the Turbo one has paid out probably close to 6k. Money well spent. However, the Lotus? Total waste of money. I haven't had a single damn thing go wrong with that car and although that's a really good thing, makes me a bit upset that everything can't have Toyota reliability.

Rant over.

*Asks $10k for exhaust*

So glad my wife and I have moved past these discussions. SHe now ignores the boxes dropped off by Fedex and UPS and I no longer ask her about what she wants to do to the house.

I would LOVE to have John's Carbon GT2 blade and decklid, but, transmission tapped me out this year.
Did you get the lower lips from NRauto? Are they cheaper than oem?
