Default A few questions after 2 weeks of ownership!
I noticed that the car runs hot on the temp gauge if you are sitting in traffic, why? Is there anything I can do to run it cooler? I get a little nervous when I am a line away from H. Also, who is the guy who makes custom TT peices, can we purchase them?, and does anyone sell a leather boot for the shifter other than LLTek.
Thanks Joe!

Default From my experience, you can be in an empty lot and the engine's temp will rise when sitting idle....
...for a few minutes.

It shouldn't get that hot. Maybe the thermostat is sticking.
