For those interested, here's a summary and some videos of my HPDE this weekend. Had an awesome time, definitely worth a try if you haven't done one already

My First Track Experience

Hey Cody & Ron thanks for the input in regards to the hiss/whistle im getting.. I swapped out the gaskets (most of them; I have to order the bigger one, that looks like a butterfly). I guess having the hiss, is just the way it is.

Steve the car looks great!

eff that, I told the dealer when I bought my car if the try to deliver with a dealer badge on, the car is going str8 back to them. You want to work out a deal where you pay me to advertise for you fine. I don't understand why any dealer would do this to the nicer cars in the first place.

Like I said, it will come off in time. But for now it serves a purpose.

Or as I like to say, serves a porpoise.

6MT guys... does your clutch pedal (the pedal assembly itself) *click* near the top of travel? I just noticed it starting today. Push the pedal in ~1" and then *click.* It almost feels like something near the hinge is loose. I'll have to check it out later, but I definitely don't remember a pedal click with my 2009. I think it just started this morning.

I have not noticed one in mine, or I've become used to it and don't notice it anymore.

I'll check this afternoon and get back to you.

I told Criswell straight up not to drill holes in my bumper for a license plate bracket and not to put any dealership badging anywhere on the car and they didn't give me any static.

That said, I went in there the other day and they had a '13 GT-R BE sitting there with a big old Criswell badge on it and I died a little inside.

So this sounds a whole lot like the behavior I experienced before the CSC in my car went.

Definitely check your clutch fluid.

If you knew The Panda you wouldn't mind having him on your azz.

Hard to believe it would be related to the clutch itself as the noise is coming from somewhere in the pedal assembly, but I'll have a look regardless. Feels like something is binding up at the pivot point.

Via search it seems like some members have had the assy replaced due to the clicking.
