Just a question about manual transmission. Do you guys immediately switch to second? Some people say driving in first is over working the car.

It takes me a while to get out of the city, so im pretty much at 10kph

 

thanks...so should i stay in first gear, then shut off the car?
i will post some pics when i take some..too busy playing with the car
also anyone know how to set the analog clock in the center console??

 

There are two little holes above the clock, push a pen in there or something small enough and the hands will move. I forget which one does what but you will figure it out.

 

thanks!

also i notice when i warm up the car from start, i idle it and without moving, i noticed there is water under the front portion of the car, lots of water...is that normal??

 

and also when i make a turn, i can hear there is some noise(sounds like some hydrulic noise, mice squeeze etc) ..is this normal?

 

Hi ,whats with all that noise from the back of the car when taking off and reversing ? will it go away with multiple clutch learns ? what parts could be making all those noises and need to be replaced.

thanks

 

Guys....don't panic! When you buy cars like this, there are certain things that *can* make noise in high performance sports cars such as:

Ackerman Effect: when turning sharply in the parking lot: That's caused by big, large wheels. You don't notice the effect much in a little car with skinny tires. The harder/tighter you turn the wheel at low speeds, the more binding noise you will hear.

Rear Differential: Very common for cars with limited slip rear ends to make binding and clicking noises in tight low speed turns. Friction Modifiers in the rear diff usually take care of this.

Could be other things, but those are common and nothing to repair on them.

 

I also noticed that i usually put in Neutral when park overnight, then the next day i turn the key, it will jump back to D, so i have to push the N to start the car.

 

here are a pic of the new ride..
loving it so far. have put 300km in a week

 

Beautiful car- congratulations!

 

Wow, nice. Very nice.
