My New TT (Build Thread

[DaCabrioGuy]

I just aquired my tt on thursday night and thought i might go ahead and introduce it. It is a 225 6 speed quattro with only 32000 miles! Silver with grey/black interior. I am still over joyed with it and i am finding things everyday that i hadnt seen before. This thread is for the proggression of mods and i will add to it every so often.
So far my list for the main things is:
ST coilovers
3.2l rear valence and wing
ROTA Grids 17x9
Engine related mods...not decided yet

I am still searching for more things, but this is it for now.

Here are some pics that i took just a little while ago, thanks for looking!

[QUA-TT-RO]

looks very clean... good luck with everything

[DaCabrioGuy]

^thanks, I just ordered the 3.2L rear valence

[PLAYED TT]

Let me add something to your list for you
-New plate insert for front bumper.
That would drive me crazy to see that every day.Other then that its time to get to work

[DaCabrioGuy]

yea that is a given, but i could only find the ecs tuning one which is primed. Is there an already painted one for sale?

[TTC2k5]

Very nice, clean.

what's the black strips on the rear seat loops?

cheers

[DaCabrioGuy]

I noticed that also today while i was cleaning it. I honestly have no idea what it is for. As far as i can tell its like velcro/tape. Ill be removing it soon haha

Welcome. Your shift gate needs a make-over...

[TTC2k5]

Charles, The V2 looks great. Glad you're happy.

Paul's got a sleeve on his shaft cut from a golf club shaft. Works well with the V1s like Pauls, but not so much on the V2 as the top is domed and there's a little more rubbing. But, take a little wet/dry to that shaft and it will polish up nicely.

Check the pics/video at Charlies website and you'll see his V2 with polished shaft...from wet/dry.

thanks for that link, i remember your pm saying to wet/dry sand it, but this clears things up.

Hey Paul,

I just noticed you put some "dimples" in the top of your budget knob. Well played/very OEM-ish.

Charles,

check it out. ^^^^ Time to get that dremel out and go to work. ;-)

bob

[paullee]

8 dimples and then polished the crap out of it!

Looks like you sold New Guy the V1, not V2. Am I wrong?

[TTC2k5]

That's the V2 (1 piece). Sold the V1 (2 piece) to a local guy.
Edit: if you look close at his pic, you can also see the slight dome (not flat) in it too.

Yah I see it now. The ring threw me off. Glad to see the shift gates went to good homes.

Thanks, the spacers were 15f and 20r. Yea I keep on forgetting to get the plate filler fixed, but ill remember one of these days

Thanks (A3 Guy is the person who took the new pictures)

[DaCabrioGuy]

well its time to bump the old thread.

Some new stuff is on the car, 3.2 rear valence and front filler plate is fixed.

I got some stuff on the way like madmax's control arms and a 42dd intake.

Here's some xmmas day pics.

Have nice day

[TTC2k5]

Very nice...for silver. ;-)

spacers/lowered really make the fat5s pop. Martha would say, "it's a good thing."

cheers and merry xmas.
