that clicking you guys say is the brakes....

does it ever stop? cause my car clicks everytime i put it on, intervals of say 10-15 seconds and it never stops till i take off it can sit for 10 min doing it..almost looks to me like its when the air is on only i might be wrong.

ok i sent the butler out to see if its only with the ac on and he said yes....why does the ac motor go on and off so often? he also said that it idles very low after a while almost feels like its gonna die goes down to about 3/4 rpm to 1/2 rpm....my other sports cars never go under 1k is this normal for a rotary engine?

You are going to find out that this car is different from most other cars in many ways....mostly on the negative side.

It works so good that it has to turn off or it would freez you out. Wait til you really need it and then enjoy.
