Welcome to the club Tim. Keep her in good health.

 

Beautiful car! can't beat the color!

 

Red is the fastest color...as evidenced by my first close call in many a year with our local CHP last weekend - I got the slow down wave, rather than a ticket (thank you officer!).

The steering wheel does have the heat option (button behind the wheel). I'm not sure if it works, as I've never tried it, and had the wheel installed recently and didn't ask if the heating would work when the multifunction was enabled.

I'll give it a push and see if things get hot!

Beautiful...I'm kind of partial to red cabs...check my avatar. At time of first unloading.

 

Is that steering wheel a factory option or was it a Mod/add-on?

I really like the looks of it and am looking fir a MF PDK steering wheel replacement for my stock (non MF) wheel.

 

I got the MF carbon wheel from Suncoast in this package:

$1535 for MF wheel, shift **** and hand brake. I also ordered the console, as there is a few hundred dollars labor for the **** and brake install because of pulling the console, so I went all in for one install price.

All the best!

I'm also a new addict.

Your car is sweet! The only thing bad about this forum is that it makes you want to spend more money on mods!

 

Your car does look sweet. I'm new here as well. And I would agree that this site definitely makes me want to spend money on mods.

 

You know, I'm completely satisfied with the mods I have...except, well it would be cool to have a GT3 front bumper, but if I do that, I should really get a GT3 rear bumper, but then I'll need a center-exit exhaust, and if I'm going to do the exhaust, I should really....

It's a trap!

Hahaha... so funny. Yeah, you think you're just buying a car, but then you realize you've purchased an entire way of living and hobbie. I guess it would have been much cheaper to pick up drawing of yoga, but my car is sooo, sooo sweet.

I think we all like this forum because we've found people to share our sickness! But it's like picking your nose, I say... If it's so wrong, why does it feel so right?

 

Well, this is pretty straight forward, as the car works great right out of the box. Try buying a Ducati - I used to road race them and have had a number of their street bikes. I always tell people - Ducatis are a Kit. You buy it, take off a whole bunch of parts that don't work worth a damn, and replace them with really expensive parts that do. Then, you're so proud of the thing, you start buying it fancy clothes to dress it up, and the next thing you know, you've spent double, and though it is a thing of beauty, it still roasts your buns when you ride it, and all the wife can say is "that thing is so loud"....
