Greetings everyone, I figured this is a good place to make my first post. After a two year search, I picked "Pan'chica" up at a Northwest auto dealer. Many of you from the PNW know Park Place in Bellevue. Although some view them as "pricey", I believe I was given a fair deal for her. I did receive some documents on her, but if you recognize her please do not hesitate to let me know anything you know about her.

Nice car, congratulations. The tailpipes look like they're a bit low, might need some new engine mounts. I replaced mine with semi solids and noticed my exhaust came up a bit, and they added a nice little rumble in my seat.

Unfortunately I don't. I have a couple of winter projects going on and one of them is to give the interior a recondition. Will post some pictures with the results. Small teaser... It's red all over the place 😎

Thanks for noticing. I'll take a look this evening. I do know that the tips did come off during detailing so I'm not sure if they need to be re-positioned. I'll take a look in the tech section for blow out eng mounts to see if I can do a visual for failure.

It should be around 600 with this setup. Loudness is heaven when I'm playing backroads but worse when I put my kids in the back seat to go buy some ice cream or even on the track. Most tracks in Sweden have around 100 db limit meaning even factory GT models are in trouble 😫

We are a bit OT now perhaps so moderators, feel free to remove if not ok 👍
