Finally after 3 days at the shop my suspension, intake and exhaust are done. I pick it up tomorrow evening after work. I can't wait to get it back. They skipped the flat-rate and just did my car straight time. The whole job which included doing the turbo-back exhaust, sway bars, new struts all around, new springs and my silicone intake hose was 20 hours including the alignment. They gave me a break on the labor rate, they charged me $69/hr instead of their usual $85/hr. I got the whole job for $1400. I know that's a lot of money, but at least I know it was done right and if there were any problems I can fall back on them as a dealer.

I really can't complain. If I had tried to do the job myself it would have taken me days to do it, and I don't have access to a lift. I can't wait to see how it drives. I feel like I did the day I picked it up when I first bought it. LOL... I'm not gonna sleep tonight!

Congrats man, hope everything is prefect when you pick it up tomorrow. I am sure it's going to feel like a different car on the way home.

 

great, your not going to sleep and then go drive it. Im glad im across the state for when you fall asleep at the wheel!!

 

Hmmm.. Hey, if this happens can I have bids on your newly installed but now used parts?
j/k
hope you have a safe and fun drive back home.

 

I just got off the phone with my service advisor. He took the car out for a run and he said that it has a nice deep rumble to the exhaust, and on the backroads it was very well mannered. There's almost no understeer and it goes right where you point it. He said that when the turbo spools up it really moves. I am STOKED!!!

 

ahh im as excited as you arenot really thoughjealous

 

I like the white on your TT. Is it pearl or normal white? What was your color before? How much did it cost for the paint job?

 

Thats factory white, you wont see too many of them...

 

i have only seen 2 in the cin/dayton area, a 225 and a 180

 

Congrats. I'm real jealous. I can't wait to finish up my suspension stuff. What suspension did you end up with? I've been looking around and am curious to hear some reviews.
