Just picked up an 01 996TT

6 spd. 5700 miles. Got it for $74,900. Car is immaculate. I couldn't believe I got it that cheap...


Anyhow, I've been driving it for the past two weeks. I love the car. It's one helluva machine.


My brother owns a performance shop and we wanted to start doing simple mods to it. I've done a search and haven't come up with much.

Can anyone give me a breakdown of what the most common mods are and approx. cost.? I'd really appreciate it.



Thanks,

Pete

Welcome to the forum,

I bought an 02 seal grey on black 7400 miles from Luxury motors about 5 months ago. 80K...I was a bit worried as I bought it sight unseen but it worked out in the end...I am very very happy with the car.

Here is one of the companies that has a very good reputation on work with our cars. Plus Stephen at Imagine Auto Inc....he is closer to you and a very well respected for his work, see the sponsor list on the right. Arling at Lucent Motors is another great guy....the list goes on and on.

Get ready to spend a wad on mods....its addictive.

welcome and congrats, start saving your pennies!!!
MOds chip/exhaust/headers/k24 turbos etc. all these would depend on how much you want to spend and how fast you really want to go!!

No K24 turbos!! Go straight for the Garret Ball Bearing GT25s lol! Make sure you do the little things before anything big. You have to get some diverter valves to run more boost. Probably should get a short shift kit to be able to shift properly since the stock mechanism is a POS!

Your brother's first name wouldn't begin with an M, would it?

Very nice car, enjoy it.

The first thing to do is an exhaust I personally like the Fabspeed Loud. Will set you back around $3000.00. Definately do the EVO short shift kit and then some type of chip. These cars are such a deal used! Congrats and have fun.
