    Short memory? Remember how we felt last August, only 3 customer cars were before our builds... The "R" guys are just running into the same types of issues that we did...

    the LCA issue, manual still has the wrong photos
    the radiator too low, manual still has no ID or fix (are the new frames fixed?)
    Brake lines, missing bolts, steering rack brackets, rack length
    etc...

    I don't want to piss off FFR but I do want to help others. Would anyone be interested in a page by page manual supplement of the issues that I found while building the R? I've been taking notes as I go along and I KNOW they would be useful.

    I should say, better community support since there's much more trial and error complete.

    You should. A lot of us S buliders documented either in our threads or otherwise fixes required. Makes it easier for the next guy.

    Isn't this what the build Wiki's are for? I may be wrong , but that's what I thought they were for.
