Lol since you offered mate ;-)

Ok here it goes

After having a lot of problems with my 2012 Stage 2 TTRS I decided to sell it after 6 months of ownership

and was looking for a new toy

I took a 911(996gen1) and a 911(997gen2) turbo out which I really enjoyed but ever since the new GTR came out I have always wanted one so, I recently purchased a 2009 DMG 30000miles GTR from Targa Florio cars.

It was an impulse buy as I never even drive one, and only drove this one when I bought it

I took the car down to Litchfields on the way back and had the guys there check it all over. To my delight it had never been launched, transmission all temps, engine temps etc never been over the safe zones
I decided to take out one of their full in house warranties for piece of mind and thought hey while I am here I might as well get the stage one tune

Stage 1 is 570 bhp and 560 ft lbs !
Anyway so after some thought It is booked in to Litchfields in the first week in November to have the run flats removed as they are worn and are stupidly rough on the road, so I have opt for MPSS with a larger tyre on the rear 305x30x20 and the fronts 275x35x20 (I think that's right lol) I am also toying with the idea of going for their stage 4

620 bhp and 600 ft lbs which will still be covered under their in house warranty (bonus

)
The car is then booked into pwpro for a full Matt black wrap with some wet carbon bits too (roof, side skirts, spoiler, vents and diffuser) and also some window tints

which stu will be working his magic on a monthly basis :-)
My future plans (next year if money permits lol)
Ap or Alcon brake discs upgrade
ARBs
Strut braces
Tein flex or race suspension

Thanks for reading

Nice to see you back mate, your 200 was a special car but this......even better !!

Good to see you havent changed though (based on the chats about average fuel consumption the other week

).

Great looking colour though, nice to see rather than the usual red, black or blue. Stu really worked his magic when I saw it.

620 should be insanely quick........can I put myself down for a ride in the rollercoaster
