Got it. I will check with Danro's posting for more details.
I think I should be back from Dolomites by Sunday 22nd Sept. I assume you will be taking the Autobahn A61 to the south of Germany and then continue on the A6-A8-A7 down to Austria. Let me know about your route so hopefully we can meet...
Will you be travelling with the R to the Alps this September? Me too! I will be in the Dolomites area in mid of September :greetings-wavingblue: What is your route?
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
Last weekend I treated my R with a proper detailing. Outside only as the inside is tidy and clean all the time :dance:
It was the typical wash, clay, polish, seal and buff up session.
I must say the paint on the front looks like Swiss cheese. 5...
Today I traveled with the RCZ on ambient temp. of 42°C. Is my personal top score. I only caught the 40 on the pic below. It was constantly changing btw 40 and 42.
The aircon just did it to maintain a pleasant interior temperature after it had to cool down the scorching hot interior. Cause I...
Welcome to R family! :greetings-wavingblue:
It strikes me to see each new R owner is obviously a true car enthusiast. You are driving a Lotus too, so you must know what a car needs to deliver to give you some thrills.
Looking forward to hear from you about the R! :beer:
I'm getting close...
As my R engine requires the occasional fill up between the services (about 1 L) I often grab what is on the shelf of any gas station. I only stick to the 5w30 or 0w30 classification. Those choices did not hurt the engine.
The fill ups btw the service are only required when I push the engine to...
Great insights, thanks!
Just recently I spotted an R parking on a sidewalk and had a closer look at the front brake. It didn't look good. It seemed to me this was one of those city-only driving cars where the brakes never get to work properly. Add to it regular car washes plus the inevitable...
Congrats!
This sounds like a lot of fun!
How many laps did they give you? Or was is a time slot you got assigned to?
Have you done something like this before?
In UK, you got plenty of those kind of motoring events. Plenty compared with ze Germany. So there is something in the saying, Great...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
Problem solved. I ordered a new oil cap at my Pug stealer. Same price as fleabay (nice surprise).
While checking the engine I noticed two ignition coil got a bit loose. The clamp on top of them was not tight. And the breather tube from valve cover...
Nice short shifts! :greetings-wavingblue:
Did your R had the factory short shifter installed? My R came with the sport package which had that short shifter on board.
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
QUESTION:
Does someone know if the oil cap on our engine is all the same across all THP engines?
I mean that part here:

Mine is leaking oil (on the rubber part underneath) and messing up the...
Welcome to R family!
You had some proper candidates on your list. Glad you went for the RCZ R.
If you are into a spirited drive, and I assume you are, you will love her. There is something about this car, somewhere in between the steering, the engine response and the road grip which always...
You're welcome! Glad to be of any help here. Good luck with the "bugfix" :greetings-wavingblue:
Keep in mind, the clock on the R models shines brighter because of more pauuuaaaa :D :lol:
Yep, front parking sensors were also an option. Front sensors, JBL sound system, the NG4 and the red paint. That's all on the list of options I took.
I took the NG4 because of some features it provided over the RT6. I don't recall exactly what it was, maybe voice recognition? Or something else...
