Just got the car in today...
I'd just make sure all the clamps are tight, like for the cooling system and the oil line to the turbo. Remember a car like that can use a bit of oil, so some consumption won't be a big deal. With regards to the cooling system, I like to top off the radiator when the car is dead cold. I fill it up and then run the car for bit with the cap off and then top it off some more. Some might go into the overflow but that way I let the air get out of the system.

I wish I was able to go to the grand opening, But im in california right now. I heard that it was gonna be postponed anyways due to weather or something.
Maybe if your in town sometime this week we can meet up somewhere?
