c4s splitter ( 5th??)

10 more tuv certified lug bolts for the fronts since the rears have taken to them so well. not cheap but tired of snapping them on off camber up/down turns.

replaced sunroof switch with a new lighted one. nice! 2 minutes and 20 bucks recalibrated sunroof ( duh ).

re affixed my replacement ( someone actually TOOK it while parked window open!.. a**hole(s) lol
coat hook drivers side was rattling like hell and got my hand stuck/pinched UNDER the tequipment bar btw headliner while driving once trying to silence it. ouch, won't try that again lol.

cost all in? maybe 40 bucks. finally getting to the little stuff while no larger issues exist! = priceless

Do you put the key and fob in your pocket?

I do, but sometimes I hang the lightning bolt outside. It has a button to trigger flashes and thunder sound. Highly entertaining to small children. [and charming to their moms]

Have you ever been poked by the lightning bold when it is in your pocket?

My Turbo is not a daily driver, so I don't have the key on any kind of key ring/fob. I just grab the key off of my dresser when I'm going out in the torque monster. When I'm driving, it's only the key in the ignition; nothing hanging from it. It's not that I'm concerned about any weight hanging from the ignition, it's just that I'm not a fan of anything dangling/swinging around from the key.

Did Kevin's UMW flash on my car about 10 minutes after the mailman delivered it yesterday!
Nice upgrade, highly recommend it!

Picked up and ported a set of headers







Not bad for an hour and a half worth of work. Nice little project while winter drags its feet leaving New England.

Changed out the cabin filter the other night....nasty

Well after a couple long hours at my buddies garage, we got the headers, exhaust, coilovers, studs, spacers, race pads, coil packs, engine mounts into the 996. Not a bad weekend





Ported headers in


Solid Engine Mounts that do not make any increase in cabin vibration, which I personally found very surprising. Wish my TT was like this!


H&R RSS Coilovers installed, which ride better than I expected over bumpy New England roads.



SpeedTech 3" X-Pipe installed



With the rear coils cranked all the way to the top and the fronts 2.5" from the bottom


Quick Reply: What did you do to your 996TT today?
