Gotta say that I was a little (just a little mind) dissapointed with the Vixen. I actually liked the Venom better ... shuddup Ross. :thumbsup:

I liked the Lightning, just not sure how it would look in a GT with black stripes?

I think Lightening Strike GTs usually comes with Orange stripes not Black, looks hot I reckon! The XRs look a little plain without stripes I reckon, plainer than HgAg if that's possible! <_<

Keep the Harvest Green:blink:

Harvest/Congo Green looks OK but the cars needs 18" wheels at least to set them off

Back to the thread......

15000 kms service today, dropped the car off (at New Oak)with a list of items that need attention, (Driveline? Vibration, diff whine, surging, rough Idle, harsh gearchanges when driving 'lightly')

Letting the dealer oil change occur as the current oil (magnatex) is a little dark after 10000kms, I'll use the dealer (semi synthetic) oil as a flush and go Castrol R next week I think.

Was quoted $270 !! (with tyre rotation)

Seems a little high, but if the probs are fixed I'll be happy.

What are others paying?

Here is the list I'm taking to the dealer tomorrow.

The Paint and Lag issues are beginning to really piss me off.

Paint

1. Paint quality is poor – I am starting to get paint popping all over the vehicle in small chips – all the way to base metal.

Rex DvD Unit

1. Unit is not working at all – no power to roof screen but DvD unit still shows power.

2. When unit is working whine is heard through Car Stereo Unit when DvD sound is diverted to sound system.

General Exterior

1. Noticeable Turbo Lag – major lag from 1st to 2nd Gear.

2. At cold start a pinging is heard from the engine.

3. Disk Rotors warped – again!

4. After car has been on road for approx 10 mins a grinding noise emanates from rear wheels (similar to warped rotor noise but louder).

5. Car pulling to left at breaking.

6. Diff Whine is starting to occur after a long drive (say to Sydney).

7. Car is running hot (over 50% mark) – still within gauge safe zone but significantly above where it used to be.

General Interior

1. Passenger side front window cover has come loose from where it seals roof covering.

2. Passenger side dash panel (where it meets door) has come loose.

3. Similar to DvD sound issue above – alternator noise is heard through car stereo system.

I just hate seeing list like this ... hopefully, most, if not all of the items will be rectified in your next post?
