  2. 1st and 2nd gear whine at low speed

    Hey everyone! I tried searching for this but didn't find anything. I notice gear whine in 1st and 2nd at low speeds. I have since the car was new, it now has about 200 miles. Is this normal? The car drives fine from what I can tell. Thanks!

  3. Serial Number Plaque metal or plastic?

    Hey everyone! I was looking closer at the serial number plate and noticed it has an edge on the left side. Kind of like it might have a plastic film over it. Is that true? I don't want to start picking at it and mess it up. I also notice mine has a small knick on it. Probably from the...

  4. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    Thank you all for chiming in. I've driven the car a couple times since and all is well :) seatbelt on first! lol

  5. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    Thanks everyone for the replies so far. It was only for a few seconds before it alerted me with the audible "beep". Just really surprised the car didn't move at all, not even a squat or anything! Didn't think the rear brakes were that strong.....or maybe I wasn't engaging the clutch enough...

  6. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    @Amm5890 thanks, not sure about smell. I did smell some BBQ, like charcoal, but we have 40+mph winds all day so it could have been someone's cooking lol. The car has all sorts of smells right now since it's literally brand new. I was out for about an hour driving gently. Everything was up to...

  7. Clutch Damage?? **Just tried to accelerate while the parking brake was on :(

    Hey everyone! I was trying to park in my garage and adjusted the car. Then got out to move a few things and check the tires After getting back in, I put it in 1st and tried to accelerate. Bringing the revs up to 2k...thinking I didn't have the clutch released far enough. Car did not move...

  8. Possible Damage / Cylinder Wash down?? Cold start

    I hear you guys 👍 Thanks for all the replies and understanding :) this is a great forum! Knowing the car was turned on and off within 30 seconds in freezing temps, just didn't sit well with me. Who knows how many times that was done in transit. I need to chill out sometimes and just enjoy...

  9. Possible Damage / Cylinder Wash down?? Cold start

    Hello! Apologies for another post so soon. Just can't get this out of my head. When my car arrived, it was sitting overnight in freezing temps. The following morning, the sales rep called to say it was in and would send pics. I noticed in the pic of the dash that the car was on. RPMs at...

    Appreciate the replies! I'll keep an eye on it.

  11. BRAND NEW 2025, possible oil seepage or assembly stain??

    Hello! Looks like a stain of sorts between the trans and engine (at least that's where i think it is) Wondering if anyone else has something similar. The car was fresh off the truck. Only had minimal PDI done. I don't see anything below or above it.

  12. Delivery Point on window sticker? Getting FL5 in winter.

    Thanks for all the replies. All are good points! Agreed that salt gets into places you can't really wash. Especially when the roads are treated but dry, all that salt dust is in the air while cars are kicking it up. What got me thinking this way is the intent of this car. It's not a daily...

  13. Delivery Point on window sticker? Getting FL5 in winter.

    Attached a pic for reference.

  14. Delivery Point on window sticker? Getting FL5 in winter.

    Hey everyone, didn't know where to post this. I'm looking to get a type R in the next 1-2 months. I'm on the east coast where it snows sometimes. I see for all FL5 Type Rs the "Port of Entry" is "Richmond" on the window sticker. Which would be Richmond, California. For some of the east...
