That clicking noise is the injection pump & pressure regulator for the direct injection. It is pretty noisy.

Thanks for the account of your first 3 days. I have to wait till January 2014 to get mine. Since no one else answered this I thought I would. I don't personally own a RWD car, but I have had the chance to drive a few, A couple nice Corvettes, Mazda RX8, Mazda Miata, 2012 Mustang V8. Because the transmission sits behind the engine, and inline with the drive shaft to the rear tires and your stick is directly connected to the tranny, you get a lot of vibration on RWD cars. It's normal and I LOVE IT. Can't wait to get this damn car. Just wish I didn't have to wait so long. Thanks again for posting and pictures. Drive safe out there!

Wow, after Ken Gushi, the couple people here, this is getting very strange. Glad to hear you are okay. I hope you didn't spill any food on your car!
