Congrats and welcome.

yes your rims need balancing. the Dvs fronbably should get changed for the forged aftermarker ones. I never heard of a P car sport exhaust. he probably is selling some aftermarket one.. Which dealer you go to?

Beautiful car!!! Is the center console the Alumalook Rear Console from BumperPlugs or factory?
I'll let you know what they find on the vibration. She'll go in this week. The car is as ordered from the factory...I decoded the hood tag and the color console and the CF is all on there. Both front seats are full leather front and seat backs and they have lumbar onboth sides which my bad back appreciates...thanks for all the positive feedback!

Beautiful car. Have fun with it.


If the balancing doesn't work, try getting the wheels aligned.

I had the same problem when I bought mine with 9,000 miles. Took it to get balanced and that slightly decreased the vibration. Turns out it was the Pirelli tires, P-Zero Asymetrico's. Tire dealer told me they have belt shifting problems. I bought a new set of Micheline PS2's and had an alignment done and now all is well. Alignment was out as well.
If you are seeing .8 on the boost gauge, you are ripe for one of Kevin's chip re-flashes. Ultimate Motor Werks is Kevin's company.

I hapen to have almost new Pirelli's on the car when I bought it. Perhaps that may be it? I take the car in monday for service, oil change, brake fluid flush, wheel balance, DV upgrade and alignment. Anything else I should have done?
