Talking Moving to this forum in about a week!

Picking up a 2007 TT. Very excited. I now have a 2007 Targa 4s and it just doesn't have that extra push that I like. Can't wait. Will post pics when I pick up the car. 11000 miles and full terracotta leather and silver exterior. Looks alot like mine now with the exception of the terracotta interior. Anyway been waiting a long time to get here.

I am assuming by "push" you mean grunt and not under steer :-) coz the turbo has more "push" :-0 but there are many things you can do to cure that bad habbit.

I too have a 2007 and love it. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum. Don't forget to post pictures.

Cheers.

Horsepower is what I mean. I will correct the understeer soon enough but have to pick it up first. Hopefully Monday. Love my 4S but will love the turbo even more. Will post pics as soon as received..

Congrats and welcome. You will definitely enjoy the new power and once you add exhaust and ecu tune then it's game over.

Sorry to hear. I can imagine the disapointment.
I like the carrara white, but if you refer to a cream white with the beige hue, I dont. I think it clashes with the silver wheels. Would look better with the gold retro HRE's though.
Good luck with your search!

Oh well after much consideration I ended up with the cream white turbo. Very pleased with my purchase and will have pictures soon. I need an exhaust like right away though. Way too quiet for such an awesome car. Cream white exterior over black interior.

Yeah. I got it from Chris at Harpers. It is a blast to drive. I have never driven a stock car that pulls so hard no matter what gear your in. I am extremely excited. Auto-x it tomorrow at splash country with PCA should come on out and bring the GT3. ;-) Pictures soon.

Thanks Jesse. It is a blast to drive and to be honest a bit more than my skills are able to handle as of now. More practice = More driving ;-)
