Amancuso I know what you mean. I did really well until I got over 700 miles. It revs up so quickly that if you make a move to pass it’s so willing to go straight to redline. The other few times was when it was in automatic mode (trying to be good) and I was slowing down for a redlight and I’d pull the paddle just as it was going from 4th to 3rd and it’d drop two gears and rev like crazy.

KevM2 I drove straight home. Didn’t have time to test it out yet but I will Saturday. I took a pic of my Istep before the appointment and looked at it after and it’s unchanged. I did however notice it sounded different in sport+ mode and more pops in every mode, so we’ll see tomorrow. I actually installed the ASD bypass harness last night but it was too late to go for a drive so I’ll be testing that out too.

SheljW even though you’ve barely been able to drive your car you’re racking up those break-in miles fast. I like it. Only took me 4 months, driving on weekends on the freeways around here, in big loops trying to get there. I even did several midnight drives between midnight and 4 AM just to avoid traffic. Being in LA you can relate. If I tried that during the day I’d never get over 10 mph. If I find a place and time to try launch control I’ll let you know. I’m sure it’s like riding California Screaming. How’d the PPF and color correction turn out? I need to find a good place up here to have it done.

Not to be a killjoy, but remember that you are supposed to ease your car past 5500 gradually after break-in service. So launch control right after the break-in service doesn't really comply with that recommendation. Now some people don't believe in break in at all, let alone easing it between 5500 and the red line after break-in, but that's clearly not this croud, so keep this in mind.

I took delivery on March 28, and on April 2, took it to have Xpel Ultimate installed. He kept it until April 10th (he believes in keeping it until all of the bubbles are gone, and he's corrected any blemishes), so I haven't had it all that long.

I'm at 710 miles!

I had mine wrapped in Xpel as well. He only took 3 days and I wish he had kept it like yours because there were some minor areas that lifted and I pressed back down myself. Mine is manual transmission so no launch control unfortunately. This weekend will be detailing with Gyeon for more gloss.

Put the Summer ties back on. I totally forgot how grippy the PSS are versus the winter tires.

Dude,
It's going to snow again tomorrow. Just kidding. I'm in Chicago area as well on this 90th day of January.

I'm at 1500kms. Scheduled the break in service but the earliest date available was May 7 because they are busy with airbag recalls

Thanks. Felt great on track. With this setup, I'm already a second a lap faster than last year's setup. But the real goal was to not kill tires, so we'll see how long they hold up.

18's or 19's?

Alignment specs, please?

Got it out of storage - no snow for three whole days!

Went for a long cruise with my 7 year old. Loved listening to the MPE on a beautiful day with the windows down. My son seems to be a fellow gearhead in training.

Also turned a lot of heads during our drive - pretty sure they were all just looking to see if it was a Civic M2 or the new comp M2.
