Yep, no cup holder and do have bumper warts... This week, I'll have the audio, flash and pulley done. Going to BBI Autosport for work to be done, heard good things about them. I want to do exhaust but that'll have to wait for another month or so(just bought the wife a new car too).

LOVING this car so far too, best car I've had by far and I've had some good ones(2 S4's, S6, E55)... this is a different league.

 

SCinfidel -
I see you had owned some Audi's in the past...have you been a regular on Quattroworld? I am a longtime A4 owner - Monkeyboy on Audiworld/Quattroworld over the years.
The 996TT is worlds apart from the A4.

It's funny how I see so many flaws in my A4 after a few minutes in the 996TT!
Loving it.

 

The 03 has extra 40bhp, lighter exhaust system, stiffer body, cup holders with directional aircon for drinks, glove compartment with extra venting for passengers legs, hollow rims, better glass in mirrors, extra non slip steering leather, moss system for beter electrical flow and better bass, steeper front spoiler and differently coated rear spoiler for better downforce. 01 has 15 kg 03 has 60 kg. It is also 220 pounds lighter. Go for 03.

 

Awesome info but the '01 is already in the garage and I am enjoying the hell out of it!! Thanks

 

Congrats. I highly recommend a good flash. I enjoyed mine (a lot) too long bone stock.

Flash.

 

Funny, just booked with Joey at BBI, getting pulley and flash done tomorrow!! Will post my thoughts after I get car back.

Thanks again gents

 

I have a 01 it's had a few mods and damn I love it who needs a glove box and I rarely use threading as I just love to listen to the snarl from my gemballa exhaust

 

Should of read I rarely listen to the radio as I

 

Mate I was joking. . I wanted to spice up the thread. Apart from glove compartment, cup holders and optical stereo system ( pain in the **** if upgrading stereo ) zero difference. Congrats on purchase. Show us some photos.

 

I like a little spice, so cheers!

 

I started getting confused,that was a good one.

 

But then... not to harp the fact... there are rumors on improvements around the timing chain... starting with YR 2003.... so.. who knows...

 

Heh...Terminator had me going! I was reading his reply thinking 'what in the world is this guy smoking?' until I saw it was a joke!

Even funnier is that I only wanted to argue back about the weight difference!

 

I wasn't as into the forums with the Audi but when I did go on it was Audizine mostly. Yeah, the difference between the two companies is vast to say it politely.

 

Taken from Excellence magazine...

"For 2002, the Turbo got effective cup holders as well as a lockable glovebox. Also new were optional Porsche Ceramic Com­posite Brakes. A number of changes were made in the sill, roof frame, seat pans, and tunnel to improve the flexural and torsional strength by 25 percent. The B-pillar was also modified to accept new seatbelt tensioners and force limiters. Finally, an X50 Powerkit was made available, with 450 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. The package included different turbos, intercoolers, engine management tuning, a revised exhaust system, and a strengthened transmission. No new features or changes were made for 2004, but Porsche put a Turbo Cabriolet into production for the first time since 1989. For 2005, a Turbo S coupe and Cabriolet were added, with 444 hp and 457 lb-ft torque, standard PCCBs, a slightly darker GT Silver finish on the wheels, and aluminum gauge faces. Most Turbo Ss were Cabriolets."
