congrats buddy, anyways, that sound when accelerating, i suppose a soft rattle? i asked the dealer he said it was normal as the headers when cold would sound like this, but slowly if you notice, the sound slowly disappears when the engine gets hotter...so i guess it makes sense...for the pinging noise, i dunno what the fck that is, it only happened 2-3 times for me in 3 weeks, so i really can't reproduce it lol...
and yes, the break was screwed up when i got the car....but 3 weeks into it now, its ALL GOOD

! just step on it more and it would be fine!
congrats again buddy
