Default got my 997tt back with mods

Thanks again to Arling and Tom at Lucent. Here is what they did to the car...

Techart Lowering Springs, painted wheels black, MPSC's, Fabspeed powdercoated tips, modified factory exhaust(sounds great), alignment adjusted.

First driving impressions...WOW. Msot of the push is gone from the car and the tires are like glue. I can't wait for 10/29 at Willow Springs.

Rich,

Would you please explain in more details the "modified factory exhaust" part? What was done, what difference does it make--louder, different sound?, and lastly, cost?

Also what was done with the "alignment adjustment"?

Thanks in advance.

The exhaust is noticeably louder...I think they remove some of the baffles. As far as the alignment, you would have to speak with Arling at Lucent Motors.

I am blown away with the improved handling...totally worth it.

Ask and ye shall receive. Here are my "can't miss" instructions for posting a pic. These instructions have NEVER failed to help someone post pics, so the pressure is on YOU to keep my string alive!

All words shown in BOLD indicate buttons. If you are just doing a "Quick Reply" you will have to click on Go Advanced button. Then follow the steps below:

Down below the part of the screen where you type the text and below the Submit Reply, the Preview Post, and Spell Check buttons, there is a Miscellaneous Options section followed by an Attach Files section.

In the Attach Files section, click on the Manage Attachments button.

You will now get a pop-up window. There are 3 buttons Browse, Upload, and Close this Window.

Click on the Browse button and now (in a new pop-up window) you can search on your PC to locate the pic you want to attach. Click on the name of the file you want and then click the Open button. Now click on the Upload button. After the file has been uploaded, you can click on Browse button and repeat the process to upload another pic or click on the Close this Window button.

After you click on the Close this Window, you will be back to the original "message" screen. Your pic file should be listed just above the Manage Attachments button.

If you are finished typing the text, you can click on the Submit Reply button and everyone will be able to see your great looking P-car!

If your pics are too large, you can resize them with MS Paint, or PhotoShop software, or you can do it online at this web site. http://www.resize2mail.com/

OK, richk sent me these pics of his black TT to post.

Rich - the original pics were too large to post. Since they were a little "cloudy" I did a simple enhancement to clean them up a little. FYI, Tim
