Since my car is lowered, I hit a speed breaker a bit too harshly and hence the exhaust came off its hanger.

Virtus GT Update
- Delivery Date: 27th September 2022
- ODO: ~10K KM
Hello everyone, been a while since I sent out an update on my Virtus, have been facing a few issues, some below will be covered with pictures, and most won’t.
The steering clock spring, which has been making a noise when going full clock, makes a clicking noise, despite the fix it still does. Visited the service center for a fix, and they opened it up and decided that before a warranty claim, they would try to “lubricate” it. Unfortunately, this is when I went to get a bite and did not see this take place. The steering was already back where it belonged when I got back. The picture below of when it was removed.
The driver’s side window motor; is just embarrassing, it takes way too long to open compared to the other motors on the car, same story with VW, let us lubricate it for now, and should it persist, leave the car with us for most of the day so we can get a claim done. Well OK, post lubrication it is better, but not near to how fast the other windows work.
Exhaust; this has come off its hanger 3 times now, this is a mix of my fault and design. My car has cobra springs, it is lower. I hit a speedbreaker a bit too quickly and the exhaust came off its hanger. Fine. Fixed it. However, it is not just me who has had this issue, this has happened to many more, there is a design flaw near the CAT, and they are working to fix this, I had a few shims added and will be more careful next time.
That was all at the ASS, will visit them soon for the 15k service and will post an update.
But, the engine bay was DIRTY, as you can see below
Visited a detailer in Noida, not too far from the ASS, Detailing MAFIA, and notice the Porsche was in bad shape (bought used, and then has been through some cheap fixes, which makes me sad).
Before
After
That’s all for now!
More to come, the exhaust plan is now complete. Soon a video will follow.
