    That's a really nice colour, I haven't seen one before either. The white roof is working for me too. Congratulations!

    I've got nearly 6 months to wait before it's my turn. Thanks for sharing

    To improve the noise levels I had rhinoliner sprayed under. That and some cut up camping foam mattress laid on the inside mollified my wife and young kids. Also I think after a while you get used to it (well somewhat). I was going to use dynamat but never got around to it.

    I found I had to change that. Now I always take off (in first or second) with no throttle at all. Only when the clutch is 99-100% up then feed in throttle.

    2. On the move, upshifting: Had to learn new style here too. It took a while to make this the new habit. What I do when it's time to upshifting is lift off the throttle totally. Clutch pedal down. Shift. Clutch pedal up. Then feed throttle in again. The ECU seems to do a good job of handling the throttle positioning for you for a nice shift.

    (But by far the single biggest change to driving smoothness was when I did a BAS Autobiography remap. Really fixes up the throttle curves etc... Smoooooth!)
    Completely agree. Let the clutch come right up before you touch the accelerator.
