First pictures of my TT...

Spikey · 12-22-2002, 03:43 PM

Nothing fancy ... me, my wife and a stock Lake Silver/Grey 2000 180 fwdc.
I brought it home yesterday from Orlando, a 230 miles drive. It has 33,000 miles, and I paid $19,900 for it. Yeap, the guy wanted a 2000 Carrera pretty bad and dropped the price from $24,000 in the last 2 months... I guess I was lucky. Also, he didn't do the suspension recall so it' a Mk I. (heheheheh)

For the first 10 months this year, I wanted to get a 03 black GTI, but when I saw this TT it was instant love.

Thank you guys for keeping this forum going, it has been a good source of information and advice.

In no particular order: 18" RS6 wheels (ALMS?), H&R + Bilsteins and monthly payments.

Me and my friend George and his silver 1.8t GTI.

Today was a nice day... we were kinda sad seeing Santa in his shorts today.
Guess what we're gonna do for New Year's here in S Florida... yeap a BBQ. Sad... Christmas is nothing without snow.

my original TT will post a similar post ;-D

...I had almost lost it at 120+ with the back of the car poping up on a transition (once the rear of the TT lifts off the pavement your at the mercy of the angels....needless to say...I switched them out to ABts...the H&Rs might be ok for a track without pavement transitions and potholes...but H&Rs and 19"s in Cali are a deadly combo...

so here's what mcgilla is describing.

H&R

Abt made by Eibach (Eibach brand is very similar and less expensive than the Abt)

I see the light... so that means that the rear is bouncy with H&R ?
