I'll be back at the dealers tomorrow and ask the tech for more details.

Feb 15 delivery in Wanaka, looking forward to it.
Hah, good to see you still hanging around here watt. I have been away since 2009 for all intensive purposes. I think it's Time to trade my '04 GT3 for one of these hi tech beasts. I am supposedly in on an RS allocation whenever that will happen. No rush...more time to get the cash together. Hope all is well.

I have the same issue with the droning, brassy sound from the PSE on occasion. I'm glad to see others have experienced it and it is just a stuck valve. Will switch off the engine next time and restart and hopefully rectify. When the PSE works as it should it is a treat
I'm new to this forum and only had my car 3 weeks but kms are building up nicely (1400) and should be ready for its first track day end of the month!

Hi all. First post for me. On the subject of issues, I'm a little surprised that I'm into oil top up already.
Had the car 3 day & 400 miles !!

Congrats on the car!

I'd hold off on topping off the oil for now. The increments are TINY between each green bar--and there's inconsistency between the manual and the sticker near the oil filler cap.

My level was the same after 400 miles. The gauge says the level is OK. Who am I to argue with the gauge?

Add oil when the warning comes on.

Had two issues come up today.

1. While on the highway, the lower light indicator on the front dial came. I never put the lift on.

2. After coming off the highway with light mist rain at the time I was at a stop light. Steam starts to appear on front of car (others have reported this as normal) and then when light turns green take off and within seconds I am blinded by fog from the steam. Scared the crap out of me as I could not see anything. I am glad nobody was crossing the street.

Told dealer and mechanic PNA should be aware of this hazard.

Wow, I would have freaked out. Maybe the replacement engine is a steam engine The problem with these problems that goes away is challenging as you can't show it to service.

Clocked -Horrible day pout there in Chicago. I thought we would see snow . yes - the front of the car gets really hot and those radiators will steam.

How was your traction today in the rain? It was about 52 F so I am interested if you felt traction was no good.

Traction should be fine at that temp. When I left this morning, it was 46F and traction was decent. By the time I started pushing the car, it was 50F, and the car felt great!
