Badges have been on the wrong side of the boot for almost a year lol.

Looks like the only option package they got you was the "snake oil". No leather, no dual zone, no 19s, no premium interior. Bastards

Just got my new MK2 Turbo yesterday after almost 4 years with my previous FG T. Wife choose Edge as the colour and in NZ they come standard with 19" wheels so looks pretty smart.

So far only done 100km so too early for any real comparison. However noticeably quieter than my previous car so theyve obviously changed the exhaust somewhat.

Throttle response also seems to have been changed ( or at least quite different to the old car). Might need to have a good thrash in the weekend :)

Don't know if its anything to be concenred about, but I have noticed now when the car is cold theres a sort of whine under the engine bay that goes away once warm, also, the gearbox inside the car makes a sort of noise that goes away when I clutch in, again all noises go away once car has been driven and warmed up. Might keep an eye on it, ill post a video of the whine under the engine bay, im hoping its just something that's wearing in or something minor. I have only done 1700kms and taken good care of it the whole way. (literally only a handful of 3rd/4th gears to 5k otherwise really never gone above 4 under WOT)

Cheers Guys

EDIT:

Heres the video

Maybe im overeacting, but the whine/high pitched sound you hear is not there when warm and it was never there when cold before...any thoughts?

Don't think that noise is suppose to be there, I have 4000ks on my FG2. Bit rough for first 30sec to a minute but not like that.
