Hey Eldin think we've met before at some runs.
Congrats on getting approved for your V2.

Hit me up if you want a lot of 411 on V2's.
It's been my life for years on many OC threads here, including my350Z and still is

Oh you better get on top of that. Just make sure you don't back down from the fight and watch your car like a hawk when its in dealers hands. A little fyi, make sure you remove any visible mods in the engine bay because some dealers will use the excuse saying since you have it modded they can't do anything.

^ If your engine is consuming oil, then removing the mods is worth the hassle to avoid the dealers lying, "cheating" and stealing from you and denying you a replacement engine, even though they know full well that it's an issue with the VQs
