wheel jerking and bumpy suspension

make sure you tell them.. i dont think they go looking for problems to fix

Same here, I am used to it now.

Although I still notice occasionally when I start off from lights if I am making a right turn it initially tugs back to the left.

Inflate your tyres to 33psi front and back, or 35psi front and back for over 210km/h lol! :p
Thats what's on the sticker in the door says. Just go on personal preference.
I like mine on the harder side, as I travel on the highway every day. I run 35-36psi front and back.
If you wanted softer ride, I would run the 33psi as recommended.

what? no oil change? everyones been telling me that its an oil change because new cars have alot of metallic shavings or something from the pistons and engine, cause its been used for the first time. i dont know

I think all new cars 1st oil change is at either 5,000km's or 10,000km's. Euro's is 10,000km's. No point changing it early, the engineers have got is sussed. It is probably worse if you change early actually, depending on the oil you use.

I find 36psi is fine for me as stated before. I also find if you run too much over recommended psi, you get real noticeable uneven wear.
Only pump them up a bit more for load carrying - something that you wouldn't be doing in a euro anyway!

ok cool thanks

also whats that paint called that u use to get the tires black? and where can i get some and does it cost a fortune.

man i did some fotoshop superimposed rims on my car, and omg the only ones that looked nice with volcanic grey were gunmetal and they cost $1400 wtf. i dont understand how u guys are changing rims so often like shoes... but i noticed my tires were bloody dirty lol. so need some paint

For the tyres, I use tyre foam first to clean them. It does work wonders!

If I want a more blingy appearance, I use megs insane shine over the top.

I wouldn't use 'paint on' stuff like tyre black, that stuff just peels off again after a while.

you can request them to do the oil change, its not required but I did ask them to change the oil. Its not that expensive anyway.

I like a more muted natural shine on my tires. I use Meguiars Endurance tire gel.

Bummer scraping up the new rim. If the car came with a full alloy spare, you could swap it for that one.

This one sounds more like torque steer. Do you usually accelerate hard?

from experimentation, i think it does the locking thing when u brake/accelerate while ur wheel is already turned at a hard angle
