PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[Silver Bullitt]

So what have you PP2 owners been up to with your beasts? Driving adventures, upgrades, ect ect.

Come on peeps, until I get mine I have to live vicariously through you all!!!

It warmed up into the mid 40's here yesterday. Streets were dry. So, I woke her up from her nap and stretched her legs a bit. Shush! She's back asleep now.

I would've bought a PP2 if it was available with the A10. Love the wheels (to me the best looking wheels on an S550), so I just ordered the SVE PP2 replicas for my 18 GT.

1700ish mile update:

did my first oil change (ALL BY MYSELF)

Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30 full synthetic (shits 12 bucks a quart yo.)

Not too sure if there's ticking or not. I try to listen but i honestly don't know. Could be, maybe, maybe not. Who cares? After around 5000 rpms tunnel vision sets in so it doesn't even matter lol. Car still runs great, and I'm literally always looking for a reason to drive.

Question to all you guys out there that daily drive this beast in sub-optimal temps (like < 35 degrees F)

How long do you usually wait before driving off from a cold start? (say its like 25 degrees F outside, and cars been sitting outside all night long)
How long do you usually wait before driving it hard?

Do you guys use any of the temp guages thats avaliable in the digital dash to let you know when its ready to drive off?

Is it really THAT bad if i start it up after a frozen night, and immediately drive off? (not hard, just normal driving)

Common sense would tell me to definitely let the engine temperature on the bottom left to get centered before driving hard.

Thanks!

Professional consensus has long favored bringing temps up by driving sensibly v. letting the engine idle up to temp. Idling will only work for the engine, not the transmission or differential. And remember that your brakes might take a bit longer to come up to a "working temp" also. If the ambient temp is "THAT bad," I would think that prudence would dictate a conservative driving style (v. "driving hard"). Just sayin' ...

I just wait until it comes down to a normal idle RPM.

I live in Florida where everything is always at normal operating temps.

Well I have my first issue. Christmas eve I went out and my instrument cluster is blank and some for buttons on the steering wheel do not work. Anyone hear of this before? I'll take it into the dealership in a few days. Really disappointing. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

Well, mine is a early 2019. Do you know what was the fix on the 2018s? BTW, thanks and Merry Christmas.

Do you have the Star Wars or basic dual pod instrument cluster?

I have the 401A with the 12" LCD cluster. I wish it was as simple as a fuse but I doubt it because a few of the buttons on the steering wheel don't work.Thank you.
