Update so far 2 tanks of gas burned, one battery dead - replaced Easter Monday with new by dealer, Thursday check engine light, today dropped the Turbo off at the Pfaff dealer a purge valve solenoid (part of emissions system) that wasn't functioning being replaced - by the dealer. I will pick the car up tomorrow to maintain daily driven... hopefully the teething issues are mostly worked out, thankful for Pfaff's "we've got it" coverage (and glad I did but the aftermarket warrantee...)
The hood has a carbon fibre look cover to match the rear wing...I don't think there is any carbon fibre in it...

Did my first PCA DE event at Mosport (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) this past weekend, had the demineralized water and water wetter put in, and new fire extinguisher, that and setting my cold tire pressure and adjusting hot pressures at the end of each run, that was all I had to do.
It was great! I got put into the Yellow group due to past experience and had a great instructor who also races. I really learned the track and the car since it was the first time on the track with the Turbo. Getting up to 220-230+ at the end of the main straight every lap was great and getting smooth and feeling the car arc through the turns was a really fun experience. I burned a full tank of gas on the first day and almost that much on the second. With my car's mods I found that I was as fast or more when not in sport mode, though the power was more explosive in sport, the softer suspension helped around the turns keeping on line better. Has anyone else in the group done events at Mosport?
Some pictures and video to follow.
