Up and down weekend
So I'll keep this short to highlight the exiting weekend I had.
1. Had some wheel issues. Don't ask. Friday. Bad.
2. Back on stock wheels. not bad.
3. Attended Z Nationals, won best G37 (judged) and peoples choice). very good. Defending the title on stock wheels again and getting the judges vote this time. A good friend of mine should have one but for got to tag his car with a sticker.
4. Dyno withOUT hyper tech removed (0-60 limited kept, but every thing else "stock" 272WHP on a dynojet (with a massive air blower). Previously in march (result not posted since I wanted to remove the hypertech first), had 259WHP wit the R2C. (Smaller blowers used in March, so along with the hypertech that could be a factor). Dyno in 4th (7AT) So no more hypertech. Good
5. Roof issues. Don't ask. Saturday after the show. Car not driveable/towable in this state. 1.5hr out of town. Bad.
6. Covered Z Nationals track day at AMS. Very good.
What a roller coaster of a weekend.
It will be an interesting week

Yeah, guys it can only go uphill from here is what I'm thinking LOL
Dealer says the trunk should hold up with a transport on flatbed. They mentioned something about a status sensor for getting the roof working but we'll see.

They fixed the roof but there is damage.
Not sure if it
1. It's been there since the folding stoppage or restart via the door button
2. Damaged in transport (tower informed me they were taking it slow though)
3. Damaged as a result of moving to fix it
Passenger side

Roof stuck issue may be due to roof not fully opened or closed (won't confirm or deny that) or something blocking the roof operation (nothing blocking it).
If the damage is caused by transporting to the dealer why in a stuck position, then that's a different story.

I had a lengthy discussion with the service manager. At the end of the day we agreed it's likely damaged due to the tow. A reset with the consult 3 will put the roof in a top up position and that's when the damage was seen. Lot's of force at play.
Consumer affairs called, road side assistance file is opened. I'll see how it goes.
