Went for a little drive round the block, first this year!!!  A quick wash and fitted a big badge in case anyone wasn't sure what the car was.  It'll be all the rage you know...

Sports tips are polished stainless steel.

The black coated ones are fitted to the GTS models.

I've found that mine self-upgrade to the GTS version within a few hundred miles of cleaning.

I stopped being so lazy and looked it up.  For others ref it's this - I will do this later today

1. Turn on the engine, turn off A/C (and any other consumer like PCM, etc.) and let the engine run for 3 minutes.

2. Turn on A/C and wait another 3 minutes.

3. Turn off engine, remove the key, close the car and wait one minute.

4. Restart car and PDK is now reset to factory default.

 

That's it yeah. Sounds like an April fools wind up but does actually appear to do something.

Don't know why they didn't just have it as an option on the dash.

Not so much of what I've done today but over the past week I've done the PDK reset "witchcraft" procedure which surprisingly seems to have actually made a difference to the smoothness.  Maybe just in my head though...

Also tried out snow-foam for the first time again for a number of years (making sure it wasn't anywhere near the roof).  Previously tried with ValetPro and was unimpressed.  This time round I've got Autoglym Polar and again just as unimpressive.

I must be doing it wrong as regardless of how thick I apply it, or how long I leave it on there, it literally does nothing to the dirt underneath.  Still, it looked nice and Christmassy for 15-20 mins...

After 14 only I believe , my 12 ain’t got it 

It's on my 2013 model.  I didn't know it had it until fiddling around with a USB stick with some mp3's and saw that I could copy it to the "jukebox".  Not a big music listener in my weekend toys, the last car I had with a radio was in 2003 so this is a bit of a step up 😜

Yeh it’s true that in tootling Rev ranges the PSE is pretty subtle, but has a lovely roar over 4K revs.

Yeah, I'm still deciding on my favourite rev range but 4k does seem pretty sweet 😋

I haven't experienced the standard exhaust but from the first test drive of the car I bought (2.7 with PSE) I actually found the noise quite subtle.

Still do in fact... for the normal driving... the pops and crackles are great but outside of that it seems a bit quiet unless up the rev range.  I wonder if changing the air filters next to add some more noise...

For reference I've come from a rather special S1 Elise with a Larini Club Sport exhaust so perhaps I'm just used to something more 'racey'
