I put some new tires on mine recently. If you're still running on the RE92s, I pity you. They are a horrid tire and should never have been put on a car of this performance level. I replaced mine after 25,000 miles (yeah, they were really bald) with Sumitomo HTR+ 225/45-17s on Rota Downshifts. The difference in the car is phenomenal. You'll think you suddenly purchased a sports car instead of a grunty sedan.
Enjoy!

I like Audi TT and all but just not the deisgn, kinda roundish i think. But nonetheless the performance is nice.

Again, not too keen, I think they are more of a posers car, where I live in Didsbury there are a lot of posers trying to migle in with the actors and directors and the like, there are plenty of normal people around, but it's the posers that get noticed although not always for the right reasons. I feel the same about the Porsche Boxster, I see loads of them too. Hairdressers cars all over the place.

I dont think ill be getting a car like a boxter anytime soon. but how do people who arent actors come up with enough money for a car like that? im not even that good when it comes to payments & whatnot, but we're talkin' a pretty expensive car for a hairdesser. oh well, just wonderin'.

Pfft. The guy who used to cut my hair (before I discovered the joys of the clippers and a domestic power supply) drives a Mercedes S600.
Audi TT, Mercedes SLK and Porsche Boxster are all the same type of car. For people who are all "style" and no substance. You want a quick drop-top? Get an S2000.

You know, I'd agree with all the of the above except for the Boxster. Its a good car. Its a good Porsche. It doesn't 'wear panties' and I think a lot of bad rep it gets is very undeserved.
They are very credible track machines and a joy to drive. Even the base 2.7. A little overpriced, perhaps, but still a car worthy of the badge.

Famines right, you can get better cars thatn thoes, and cheaper too. People buy thoes cars to pose in, thats all they are, posers cars especially the TT, the Boxster is a good car, but it's for poeple that can't afford a 911 but are desperate to have a new Porsche, people that want others to believe they have more money than they have, that they are more important than they are. Ofcourse this isn't for every TT or Boxster owner, but it's definitely for the majority of them I see, and I see a lot of them.

I am fully aware of the performance potential of the 225 TT and 3.2 V6 TT DSG, and the handling capabilites of the Porsche Boxster and Boxster S. That's not my point. The point is that for the most part the people who DRIVE and own them aren't aware of anything other than the fact they drive an Audi or Porsche - the typical owner UK owner is the businessman's wife. That's why I said "For people who are all "style" and no substance"."
The TT 225 Convertible is £29,825, the V6 is £31,475. The Boxster is £31,635 and the Boxster S is £38,635. No thanks.
Wow, a PA fan and a WRX driver - if only you were a woman...
Ahem...anyway - I just got my WRX back after a month of downtime! To recap, I took the car in with a nasty bearing whine coming from the transmission. Dealership claimed the fluid had all been drained from the system and left empty. No warranty coverage, they said.
Well, the tech who initially looked at the car was apparently not up to the challenge, so a new tech was sought. He fought for 2 weeks with SOA, and they finally caved - full warranty coverage.
So, now I've got my car back with a new front diff, new 5-speed transmission, new clutch, new flywheel, and a new rear diff/transaxle assembly.
It's like a whole new car! Literally!
Anyway, big thumbs up to the dealership for coming through for me. I'm guessing the repair bill on this would have topped $7,500...
