This car just hates me! Post track-day woes...
Sorry to hear, but I don't think you've bought a lemon. I think you've bought a brilliant but highly tuned sports car that has seen some abuse and thus thrown up a couple of hard use related issues. Keep your chin up, give it some love and TLC and get back out doing what you love

And to everyone else as well. It was just a post to vent out some frustration... Honestly the last few years if you ask me what I think of my car I reply that I love it and hate it at the same time. When it works it's brilliant, but lately it feels like it's not ever working properly!

I had similar symptoms on an old car - turned out to be oxygenated battery connections. Cleaned them up and reconnected and I never had that same issue.

I know what you mean. We had a new battery installed last summer, I don't recall the connections being corroded or anything but I will check again.jamiez wrote:I had similar symptoms on an old car - turned out to be oxygenated battery connections.
