I will take some pics this weekend...

Evo750 kit. NICE!

Well, she arrived today a whole day early. Had an issue right away. The battery had died in the truck. We popped the clutch and got it running but it died at my house as well. Couldn't even jump it with my Cayenne. Ran down to the store and bought a new Red Top battery and she came to life. This Clutch Masters Stage 3/Alum flywheel combo is no joke. It is a really tough engagement and something I'm going to have to get used to so I don't make my passengers puke. The power is really insane. I haven't felt this kind of neck-snapping pull in a long, long time. I think I'll like it for quite a while b/f I need any more power. Took a few pics:







Had a little surprise waiting for me when I opened the trunk...

Hello SeattleBum,
That is a beautiful car and the family looked like they came with Christmas presents. John 10:10 Congratulations! Momentum porsche of Houston is using my car as show car in their Master Classes today for Exhaust,tune and IC's upgrade.
I will be able to get my car at around 1 p.m. today and I am really getting anxious. I put together my favorite songs from 70's and 80's from Korea and some from Top singers from around world and put it it the i-pod shuffle and nano. I came over from Korea in 74. My car has following so far. 07 977 TT,
PCCB Brakes, Nav. with PCM Radio bluetooth and I-pod connection. Calibre K40 with diffuser, XM radio, Tubi Reg. Exhaust, GIAC Tuning, Champion intercoolers. I had 04 Carrera convertible in the past, but did not have the same passion on that car as the current 07 977 TT. I will keep you posted about the way car drive. In Houston it is so hot, intercoolers will definitely help out.

Congrats man...yet another Turbo in Bellevue. I must not be very far from you. We should meet up to talk about your new toy. I could give you some ideas on "mods". I have a bunch of things in mine such as that TechArt steering wheel you seem to like, etc.

BTW, I LOVE it when others take delivery of a new toy! Always a blast to hear about those things!

Yeah, I was getting sick of being the only one in Bellevue without a 911...

I'd definitely love to hang sometime. I try to talk cars with my wife and she just looks at me and rolls her eyes. All she had to say about the new 911 is that it looked pretty and was really loud.

Do you get out to the Redmond exotics meets on Saturdays? I haven't been in a long time since my 3 year old has soccer practice during that time.

Well, survived my first weekend with the car. I've gotten a little better with this Clutch Masters Stage 3/ LWFW combo. Not stalling it (much) anymore. Just can't be shy with the revs.

I've had a lot of friends drop by for a ride in the passenger seat. The unanimous consensus is that this car defnitely provides an 'oh ****' experience. Once the turbos spool it is such a kick in the pants. I can't imagine what some of these 700+hp cars would feel like.

I am such a giddy kid when I get behind the wheel of this thing!
