I can't believe it, but this Monday, I am dropping off my old Boxster S and taking home my new, TT Cab X50--slate grey/black, six speed standard, sports seats w/painted slate gray backs, painted air intake slats @ front, slate gray interior paint that mimic's the large artic package, thick steering wheel, alum. gauges, alum. door sills, turbo crest in seats, "Turbo" script in arm rest cover; red stiching rather than standard color, red seat belts, 6 disc CD changer. I have had dealer also install a SRX+ detector, gray turn signals and the air bag deactivator/kids seat set up installed.

Since I am a new 911 Turbo owner, any suggestions for what to check for or verify at the dealer prior to taking it home? Any other dealer items that I should get before taking the car?

Thanks.

Future items being considered after reading this forum for months: 19" wheels, Fabspeed exhaust, replacement billets, Ruf or Techart alum. pedal set, alum. dial surrounds (where do you get these?), and, is it worth up grading or changing the air-filter box(?).

 

WOW!! Congrats, I'm picking up my TT on Tuesday (01 coupe).

 

Where did you get your tt from?????

 

From here! I am buying Dr. Bills awesome car, thanks to a heads up from Dr. Jim

 

first time in 15 years I'm Porscheless but know you're the man for the car. Can't wait to see it with Carbon fiber it will look awesome. now you just have to do some engine tuning and reach the top of the hill over all the other L.I. tt's! Rave, good luck with the tt and welcome to 6speed, officially!

 

KAGNJ, welcome and good luck. It sounds like an awesome-looking car. Definately do wheels as it transforms the exterior like nothing else. For all the other stuff, you are on the right track but don't follow what's going on here as you will never be satisfied. Rave, enjoy the car and I'm sure Dr. Bill is pleased to know it will be local and cared for by an enthusiast. Dr. Bill, you aren't Porsche-less lest you forget your son's car you just showed me yesterday!

 

Thanks for the thoughts. I have looked at the wheels thread, but can't seem toi decide whether the 19's are worth the effort or I should stick to the 18's. I read about potential issues with the larger wheels, but they seem to look better. Any thoughts on this?

 

I think at-the-limit performance will be hampered by 19's, otherwise there is a small ride penalty which gets offset by the looks advantage.

 

Guys CONGRATS on your purchases.

 

Thanks, I hope to do some engine mods in the spring.

 

Kag - sounmds like a great car is coming into your life! Best of luck and be sure to post pictures as soon as you can!

Rave - you got a great car - enjoy it and use it in good health

 

Kadnj, congrats on your purchase absolutely beautiful car!
Dr Bill I always loved that car!! I bet your going to miss it..whats next?

 

for right now i'm picking up a black hummer monday-traded in the white for black and ordered 20" chrome wheels. my next sports car hunt will be in early spring with Dr Jim as my faithful companion.

 

Thanks all. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

As to wheels, I do like the 19's, any recommendations. How do you know if spacers are needed? Do wheels that require spacers cause other issues?

Thanks again for the info.

 

Let's go shopping together brother.
