Literally none of those things are true about my situation lol.

ha, yeah I wasn’t about to go try to start it at this point.

correct, when I hit the starter the starter does its dance but the engine doesn’t oblige it. The electrical power is fine as far as I can tell. coolant is full

Yes. It’s a 2017 that rolled off the production line 7/22/16 and was sold 8/29/16. So we are 6 months past 5 years.

Okay got it, whether it over rev’d or not is really not the point though. I accept that my assumption that it had was wrong. I’m much more interested in how to figure out what’s wrong so manually turning over the engine (or not) sounds like my next troubleshooting adventure. I’m not totally...

Yeah my issue was mostly haste and a little bit of not having the recaros (I’m too fat for those) and thus sliding around and trying to help brace myself with my hands. I’ve done hundreds of laps in this car and I’ve only ever done this once, so it’s not exactly a chronic problem. The second...

yeah, and to be clear the other time I got that code was many track days ago and the car has been thoroughly shop tested and road driven for thousands of miles and hundreds of laps, so other than perhaps a little extra wear and tear I don’t think the incidents are related.

Perhaps it didn’t overev then, but whatever happened, it caused the cam shaft position retardation code. The other time I got this code it was because I down shifted instead of up shifted (found 2nd instead of 4th). So same circumstances and result so I went with the assumption that it over...

It’s not under warranty no matter what.

Sounds like it would be easier to let the techs tell me on Wednesday when I bring it in. what would be the cause of the engine seizing in this instance? The oil starvation from the pump failing or blasting metal through the engine internals or both or something else?

i have not tried that nor do I know how. I imagine I could google it but if you care to explain the procedure please do.

Yes it was running when I turned it off, then it wouldn’t start back up after I got it to the paddock and made sure it still had oil.

would either of those prevent the engine from turning over though?

Yeah, there’s plenty of oil still left in the car. No evidence of any leak and I checked the oil in the paddock and it read as fine. OBDII reader said the oil had 45% life left too. I checked the wiring harness and the connectors going to each cylinder and none of them were loose or wiggly...

true story

One thing I’m confused about, I see some LED shift lights in some wheels, is that available for the GT350? I had that in my other car and loved it. oh and is it possible (if so, how much does it cost) to get the airbag cover in alcantara?

2 years ago I paid $44k for my 17 with 4k miles on it. Just sold my other car for 20% more than I paid for it when it was 2 years newer and had 10,000 fewer miles. Really a hairy time to buy a car.

my car is a 17 so sounds like it’s a moot point.

i only see 2018+ S550 as being available. What changed between 2017 and 2018 that would make this incompatible?
