He said it’s for oil pressure to build up but I’ve done research and been confused between oil the oil pressure light and oil indicator light. First day I drove it home I stalled it about 3 Times and it wouldn’t crank the timer said about 3-5 minutes is that normal? When I get in it regularly can I just start it or do I actually have to wait it out initially? I plan to autocross the car here on Oahu and some times you spin out causing stalls so is this a good autocross car? I don’t want to be that guy that holds people up for the whole season because of my car. Mahalo, Ty Kaneshiro
