I JUST TOOK DELIVERY OF IT TODAY!!! WOOO!!! OMG this thing has POWER!! It was killing me.. on the way home it was traffic ALL the way to the exit for like 15-20 miles.. I wasn't even able to unwind it.. when I did it was on the way to dinner.. and DAMN is there power!!!
But it doesn't end there.. as the evening went on.. I forgot there's a "sports mode" and.. I didn't drive it enough to notice if it starts on 2nd gear or 1st gear. Reports on here tells me the car starts in 2nd gear... but at least from what I noticed.. when I pressed sports mode.. it actually starts in 1st gear and.. HOLY @*%&* I felt like being shot out of a CANNON!!! It's SOOo easy to go so fast even in residential area! this is bad.. ha ha ha.. Good news? I didn't get any speeding tickets tonight lol..
I picked up the car with 27 miles.. and now it has 89? I think.. I got the car around 5pm so I didn't have much time to drive it.. but my girlfriend, parents and little brother came with me to pick it up.. they were all very impressed with my purchase
.. my parents were proud of me xD.. girlfriend think it's sexy.. haha since she works in the airline industry she was asked today if we're gonna "test out the back seats" .. LOL...
Anyways I posted it on facbeook and.. there's so many "likes" and replies it's crazy.. apparently people love this vehicle! http://www.facebook.com/littodevil
Being on here for the past 4-5 months I got a head start on a few things the moment I got in the car... knew about the bottle holder.. the compartment under the front seats.. Got to turn on the "night light" with all the led's on in the interior at a dimmable setting. Learned that all the seat and other settings can be assigned to Key 1 or Key 2..
I did notice that my steering alignment is off by a very slight 1 degree to the right since the car will track to the right very so slightly. Also noticed that the front edge of both front fenders near the headlights where they meet the bumper and hood is slightly off... off as in it's not flush, or perfectly level but it's not something I can't fix at my body shop, and alignment can be fine tuned in my mechanic shop. Aside from that I looove it.. Haven't seen it in daylight yet but I will tomorrow!
Oh.. when I did wind it out on the freeway before I had to exit... I noticed smoke coming out of the front right side of the car in front of the headlights!!! But luckily it was just some type of .. probably cleaning solution evaporating from the passenger side intercooler. Figure under boost air was heating up the intercooler and it was finally drying up, but it's all good now
.. scared me for a moment though lol..
Anyways it's been an AWESOME day!! I am ONE VERY happy and very lucky guy. They also let me keep the bow since I was asking for it before! LOL.. well I asked where I can get one but after they detailed the car they moved it into the show room floor with the bow on it and said quite a few people came in and checked out "my" turbo before I showed up..
Now.. I have the Renntech lowering module waiting to go in.. I have quite a few things from Suncoast coming in next week. I got the Escort 9500ci sitting here as well. Now that I verify the offset the wheels will be on order as well as a exhaust, rear bumper and front spoiler lip.. which.. Jerry knows what I'm talking about... I'm holding off on the IPD plenum, diverter valves, air filters as well as other engine mods like the ECU in case I decide to send it to TechArt to get their powerkit.. with their power kit it comes with all those goodies from them already hehe... OH!! And my custom licenses plate has been ordered back in January and is setting at the DMV office waiting to be picked up.. but due to their policy I'm not 100% sure I can pick it up without getting my standard numerical plate first ;(.. we'll see. For now I'm just SUPER excited!!! Rob, your gonna LOOOOVE yours!!! Meanwhile you can check mines out as I start "making it my own" just like when I was .. and still is.. checking out Jerry's CTT
P.S. I forgot.. it HANDLES AWESOME!! Drives just like a sports car! Oh.. and I also ordered 2 Stainless steel wheel lug nut guides from Awdmotorsports to make it easier for me to remove and install those huge tires so I don't drop them on my carbon ceramic rotors lol..

Looks awesome!
As for the plates, you do have to wait for the issued numericals to come in before you can swap them out for your personals. Mine just came in yesterday so I'm eager to switch them out.
