Another little update today. I had dropped my car in to get the tint redone on some of the windows under warranty. I spoke with Malcolm at Prestige and Custom and decided on gettting some 20% Carbon tint instead. He did me a sweet deal and got it sorted today. Really top genuine helpful bloke - recommend him to anyone. Love the tint! - soo much darker and more privacy!

Nah its been around for a while, its slowly getting worse. Its quite loud just in park but can also hear it when im driving if say against a wall or rock face. Not sure tho once the car is moving how loud it is. It sounds like its coming from the sump coz if u get your ear down next to the lower grille its really loud there

Hi Phill
if the noise is louder from the last time I heard it with you, maybe one day just pop around & we'll have another listen might be easier to pin point this time ?? thanks |

Thanks Joe, yeah it certainly seems louder. When it was up on the hoist I put my ear near my lower grille and it was very loud, seemed like it was coming from the sump. The noise actually disappears once I reach around 4ish revs (this is just revving in park)
Will definitely swing by for you to take a listen - probably in February sometime, I will give you a headsup ring though to make sure your not sure flat out that weekend. Thanks mate

Thanks mate, yeah took me about 3 hours to put together the initial post but glad I have. Then continued with decent updates and lots of pics.
Not really sure on the future, I don't really have any other plans for it, maybe swap out the spoiler later on but apart from that it will just be maintenance till i run it into the ground. Then i think its time for a real GT 335 here we come
