owned the car just over 1 month,

cruise to my cousins for the tike's birthday with the misses,

pull up after basicaly not exceeding 3k rpm's, no harsh bashing, just simple cruise to penrith from blacktown.

basically pulled up and the idle is jumping from 650-1100 rpms, all over hte place, noticed casue had a cig durring customary wait period ( i just like to be careful) point being get back in, warm her up, its 1am, starts again all ovr hte place.

decide to get home, stalls getting out of hte drive, copping shit for my "new car" dieing on its ass.

then it stops and idles @ 900, stable, sit @ major intersection and after a while it starts again, so little down the road an pull into bp, check around with her idling, look for something new, leaks etc, something noticeable, hear a slight ticking inhte exhuast when i get down to check underneath for fluids or something out of sorts, (something telling me to stop go no furhter essentially), shut down, check for water froth, none, has plenty oil, noticed its running real hot, like over heating...like turbo is stil way hot like i was peaking it out.

decide must get home, babying it the entire way, no positive boost, get hoime, idle her for almost 5 minutes, shut down and sounds like i ran her hard and turned her of without idle, heat contracting sounds.

but no funky idle this time...

exhuast gasket ?

avc in the plenum neeed cleaning ?

underfueling causeing to much heat from my almost stock car?

assume all stock except the deep purple top injectors (stock fuel rail so id say side feed's), unknown size / type suspitions abound and the 2.5" cat back and unknown cat, stock bov, stock location etc

think my importer / dealer will honour the 3 month warranty for this ? planning on making that call anyway, damed thing was only there literally today to get an unrelated minor fualt fixed ( windscreen squirter pump )

i know its not his fualt..... but point is it was there today and i doubt he will accept this and fix it, f**king bullshit i say. guess il find out

ranting eh

f**k sake... love the damed thing,
