I have been using Tom @ Lucent Motors in LA and have known him for over 13 years. I trust his advice and meticulously detail oriented work as he does specialize in P cars.

 

+1 Tom and Arling have been absolutely great to work with over ze years. Send folks there all the time

 

Looking at previous cars, I see where you're coming from. LOL

 

Yes, great guy and shop.

 

Huge +1 on that.

The best advice I have seen posted here is the advice from K_DDSL. Read it over, again and again. Great plan to start from!

Good luck on your journey.

 

plus one on that, these cars are so so fast already, I have fully stock for now, and the power keeps pulling even at 120mph..... I have some toys already for it, but I didnt need to, just me being foolish so soon......Great car, enjoy it.....do what you want to do, some people go heavy on the upgrades, some are good with stock.... Also be mindful to the dealer and what they think is good and just too much if you are wondering about keeping your warranty in good standings.....just my .02 cents

 

Sorry cant help with your questions 1,2 and 3. but suggest to please add to your list a number;
4) Suggestions to change stock rims with.....

Then she will look complete, and with the mods fast too.

 

It's funny because in the past I would have the car delivered straight from the dealer to get wheels, tires and suspension to get those fenders tucked just over the tires. With the TT it was straight to the mods. I literally had the car 30 min which was the time it took to drive from where I picked it up to Lucent. To be honest I like the stock TT wheels and if they were 18s it might be cause to switch them up but this is one car I do not want 20s on and at this point swapping stock 19s for other 19s just doesn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong I f'in love the .2 centerlock set up and if it wasn't an 8k upgrade I'd probably go for that if anything.

 

Understand. I too agonised over ditching the stock rims but after finally doing it I now look back kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I never went the 20's either. Anyway just a cheeky suggestion and, good luck with your mods .

 

Have any close-up shots on your wheels?

 

Find a VP gas station & throw some 109 octane in for the weekend ,& you will be jonesing for your next round of mods,also check out the IPD stuff y-pipe plenum & enlarged TB.

 

Here she is.. http://sharkwerks.com/porsche/997-tu...-type-1-a.html

Ive since put my street ps2's on the rf67's and put the Mich ps cup R's on my stock rims as track set. Im also toying with the idea of getting another set of champions or hre's for my track set and do away with the stocks altogether....altho the way our dollar has gone down against the greenback this week that idea may have to be put on hold till things recover . I'll check if I have any other pics of them a bit closer up i'll pm them to you in the next day or so.

 

Gorgeous Paul. Lovin' it.
May you keep enjoying her in the best of health.

 

Thanks Karim. I bet you cant wait for your magic day to arrive. I know its agony having to wait for a car like this...been there done that myself so my sympathy goes out to you.
And on the health..you're right about that one. Without good health the rest becomes meaningless. Cheers..P..

 

Very Nice!
