Up on blocks for the first time. Getting ready for brakes, radiator clean and exhaust.
***EDIT*** Before anyone freaks out about the Jenga blocks.....they are assembled (glued and nailed) into a single unit. IMO waaaaay more sturdy than jack stands as these have a 12" square base and a 6" square pad at the top for the puck to sit on. No balancing a puck on a v-groove jack stand for me.
No naysayer here. Wooden cribbing compresses and does not slip like metal on a nice finished floor. Mike
I am waiting this week for all my parts to get in to have an install weekend. Wheels arrived, Radiators today and should be doing the mesh tomorrow for a fun bumper off kind of day.
Car has been out of commision since the "cone incendent" and the radiator end cap crack so I decided to take the yellow 930 for a flight.
Got to hate those blind drastic elevation drops. At least the engine weight is at the right end.
Added mesh grills, did an over due by several years Tran's oil change on the Tip, only 26K miles but 14 years not done! Front control arms because one had a loose bolt and previous owner didn't notice? 4 wheel alignment and Monday will be paint correction, fix a small chip in frunk lid and ceramic coat. Rennline Grills Paint correction and ceramic coat.

haven't actually done it yet, but did confirm a small project with my local tuning shop (speedsport in CT) to do maintenance... and whilst on the rack, install europipe+cobb+ps4s😁.
frigid temps here in the northeast have placed my .2tts in hibernation mode. but once the car returns I'm hoping driving conditions will be a bit more tolerable.

On Wednesday I installed Speedtech 3" system with 200 cel cats and quad, single-walled tips. Last night I got my ECU file back from Softronic & uploaded it to the car. Too bad it's too cold and about to dump snow. Gonna have to wait to feel the results of the tune. Exhaust sounds awesome!
Installed DSC today and got it w/ launch control. I know the latter is pretty useless and not sure why I got it (esp on a tiptronic tt cab), but what the heck... we’ll see if it does anything.
Removed the stock exhaust last night. Super simple to do. To anyone who has the space and is semi-confident with tools can do this job no problem. This is by far the easiest vehicle I've worked on. No junk plastic clips snapping anything together. Screws, bolts, and nuts only. Fantastic!
