Short version: I got a TT :) Long version: Well, as some of you know I have had a 2+2 for a little over a year now and was seriously considering a swap. A little hobby of mine is pouring over autotrader and the classifieds looking at all of the TT's I never thought I would have, just to see what was out there I suppose. A few weeks ago one of the ads caught my eye, so I started talking to the guy. He's never been on TT.net, but he has had a 90 TT for about 9 years. His dad actually bought a 90TT, 92TT, 93TT, and finally ended with a 96TT. He obviously loved the cars - bought each one brand new. His son, now 29, soon followed and bought his dream TT when he was 21. He upgraded it over the years (All done through stillen, soooooo expensive.. I have all the reciepts). Now, he has a family and needed a family vehicle. I was surprised, he said he never got many serious offers (one of the reasons was it needs a new AC compressor, and not many people are willing to have a car in AZ for long without AC :). Anyways, I test drove it for a few hours, scoured the records, and decided... I have to have this car. I put the 2+2 up and to my surprise the first guy to come look at it bought it. Sold my beautiful beautiful wheels, and had enough for the TT! I figured I would treat myself to a first year of college done! present. I just got it saturday. The thing is in near mint condition, it is in much better shape than my 94 was and I thought that was in great shape. I went through 3/4 a tank of gas driving around last night, haha I love this car! Heres the mod list: AVS VS-5 wheels (I didn't even have to keep mine!)
Stillen - intake, exhaust (must be swapped with labree)
JWT ECU
555's i THINK. He thought he had the high flow injectors put in, but the part number on the reciept was stock TT injectors.. hmm I have to do some digging.
Sport 500s :)
AP racing big brake kit (these things are amazing)
JSpec rear tail lights
Clear corners Thats all I can think of for now. He didn't have a boost controller on it or anything, he said he was satisfied with 12 PSI. The thing pulls like a beast at 12 PSI! During the day in the crazy AZ heat, it dies a little.. but at night it is really amazing. I took my friends dad for a ride last night (he has a 911 turbo, 86 I think) and he was amazed at how fast it was. The only thing i don't like about it is the LAG. It seems veeeeeryyy laggy for a sport 500, but some down pipes and a few other things will take care of that. First thing on my to do list is a turbo-back exhaust I think, and maybe some AshSpec Massive IC's for some extra cooling. Not sure yet, but I sure do love this car. Let me know what you all think! I would be more of a pic whore, but I'm on dial up and it takes forever to upload. Out with the old:
 And in with the new!
 
 <<< This is what one trip down my dirt road does :(
Anyways, there she is!
