Just searched some more and found that the low rpm rattle is normal with all the cars. Glad to know that it ain't just mine. Other than that, so far so good. I've been following break-in as outlined in the manual pretty good. Took it to redline twice and then a few times into the upper rpms. Just another 1000kms or so more and it should be very well broken in. I got the shift light to come on at 4000rpm (so cool that this car comes stock with a shift light!).

I gotta find the time to adjust the clutch though. They set it just a bit too high from the factory.

I won't be around for the next month or so to meet up. With my wedding coming up and all the planning behind that, I literally have no time for anything. I can't wait till it's over so I can get back to a normal life LOL.
