Weekend Fun, thanks to SamboTT@ByDesign

Hello again all. Sold my 996tt last winter, and I am just getting started on mods for my 997tt.

I reached out to Sam regarding a Cobb tune, and Kline exhaust, a few months ago. However, I ended up buying a used exhaust from prodigymb, a Kline 2.5 de-cat.

I called Sam last week and he got a Cobb /w Protune on my way. While discussing my goals for the car he mentioned that he would send me new gaskets for the used Kline - an exhaust he did not even sell me. Excellent customer service.

Mods this week:

ADV.1, 7.0 SL Trackspec, With Tikore Titanium Lugbolts
Front: 20 x 9 ET+50
Rear: 20 x 12.5 ET +41
Pilot Super Sports

Cobb Protune
Kline 2.5
GMG Sways ( last set ever per GMG )
GMG Springs
Torque Solutions rear toe links
BMC Filter
5w40TDT



Well here is a shot of me test fitting the Kline 2.5, in my garage this weekend.

it is off for the test fitting. I was by myself, so I just took everything off for easier access. I have the exhaust supported by the jack stands in this pic, to make sure everything lines up before
I torqued anything down.

Very nice! I like the lift/hydraulic jack you are using, what brand is that? I just picked up a 997 also and I love this thing. But I also love my 996! Totally different cars though.

Sam is the man, car is looking good!

The lifts are around $900 for the 3500.b max, and $1300 for the 5000lb max. Some good reviews around on them.

Congrats on the pickup!

Yup spring time in Akron is nice. I bought the car in the dead of winter, when I was traveling, and I am just now getting a chance to play with it.

The jack is very nice. It has dual position locks, for safety. I can have a car lifted on this in about 5 minutes - and since the units are independent, I can drag them to the wall of my warehouse for easy storage. I got the 5000lbs model, as I have a couple heavy vehicles to work on as well.

The assembly took about 3 hours, you need a air pressure source with schrader valve, 2 quarts of ATF and some simple hand tools.

For the money I cannot believe that I never had one of these before.

Tom, thanks for the feedback on the jack. Definitely on my list of tools to pick up.
