It takes some getting used to!! But overall I like it.
I was rolling down a hill by my house and my nose stuck out into the intersection, I went to go put it into first to take off, but put it in reverse by accident!!

and two suspensions
At least for now.

Nice set of mods BTW .

I don't call it "addictive" though . Buying mods is a voluntary behavior I have not modded my other cars . Just this one in an effort to create something very special and unique. I can spend time and money on other things but wanted to create a lifetime memory with this car .

I know very well what its like to wrestle with each purchase and focus on detail comparing every aspect from the time the little spark enters my mind to the day its on my car.

I wish you well with this .

Thanks man! I feel like we are all here for the same reason...

Our love for our cars, and our love for speed & handling!

thanks for the answer

I can't and don't argue with your experiences, and I too still believe in changing oil much more frequently than recommended. There are some good reasons, however, why knowlegeable engineers recommend certain breakin procedures for various mechanical items, and it's not just to hold down warranty expenses.

Im still on the fence about this whole thing too... this is going to be a test for all Pcar enthusiasts! Hopefully I get out there and blow doors on modified C2S's!! haha, well see!! I bought the car to have fun, not to have my mother drive it till it reaches a generally acceptable milage for usage... haha
