here we go...




MY '03

I just had it serviced at local dealer Porsche Angelopolis in Puebla, Mexico after a year of ownership...

I added my own fluids...

and cleaned the engine bay myself...

while at the dealer I had the GT3 Alcantara steering wheel and knob installed...


and transfered the silver hood creast from the 986...


I'm ready to drive another year...

 

What a clean 996 TT Friss!

 

Thanks DJ, I'm pretty happy with it... good, good performance for Boxster price, makes it an ideal DD, at least for me...

 

Looks great with the new steering wheel and shifter.

 

Gorgeous Turbo. The new alcantara additions make your car look even better. Do you have any other subtle mods planned for the future? What are you planning as your next Porsche after 'another year'?

 

Nice turbo! I like that new wheel and shif kbob.

 

These cars still look just as good as they did when they were new! Yours is a great example.

 

Love your Turbo!

Any plans on dropping her just a little?

 

Thanks for all your good comments.

No mods are planned as I am already overwhelmed by the future replacement parts list, DV's, hoses, coil packs, coolant tank, etc

As I say in my post, "ready for another year", I bought this 996TT with the purpose of driving and so far I think have accomplished my goal... on road...


and also on the track...



I even chased GT3 Cups with it...


So far I have enjoy it as is, I perfectly understand that the OEM USA suspension is crap for any spirited driving and worthless for track duty, yet when I come to one of those Mexican so well built ramps that I thank all the clearance of the OEM USA suspension, but trully perhaps I can get away with an X73 option

When I get frustrated by my high suspenson, and believe it is often, I jump into my Swiss Hutless and drive it like mad...

it is a vicious drive!

I have been also heavily critized for not entering the big hp wars, being accused of being bland, but the way I see it, this 996TT is plenty fast on day to day basis, I don't usually encounter anything faster and terrible Mexican roads aside one has to think about bad gas, a norm down here in Mexico, a simple flash could mean big trouble with Mexican gas

My next concern is brakes, somehow I don't think this 996TT is braking the way it should. I'm not sure what I will do, at least Brembo rotors and Pagid pads of some sort, but if money permits perhaps some 997 GT3 brakes.

Right now like a told my tech at Porsche Angelopolis, no more spending just driving
