What color is it? I can't tell if it is black or Rebel Green, and the top as well is masked! These are great little cars and too much fun to be street legal. Oh, and where are you located?

Looks like Midnight Black Metallic to me....very nice choice, but of course I'm a bit biased...lol! Looks a lot like my JCW upon arrival except I have the JCW bonnet stripes!

Congrats,

John

Good luck with using restraint, I found it impossible to be completely responsible!

550 miles but did touch 5k like 3 times coming out of a street.
Brakes and Clutch had 300miles of very gentle driving.
Light gear changes not sudden stops.
Hardest thing to do.
Now at 500miles Love the tranny gears are so easy to find I don't get why some paper pusher from some car magazine said that the transmission could be a lot better.
Slowly getting my image of what the car will look like in spring and summer season

There is nothing like breaking a new car in and wanting to push it every time that you drive, but patience is the order of the drive day! Soon enough it will be time to PUNCH IT! Enjoy

KYDan it is difficult I try to change gears at 4500 my average Mpg is at 23.4 guess not bad for 630miles car.
Did plenty of research and as we all know there is 2 schools to how to break in engine.
I'm kinda right in between always wait for engine to warm up and then barley ever cross 4500, but I do drive it but never pedal to the metal Yet.
Have a question about your JCW, did go back on forum to April see you have JCW Pro exhaust and NM module.
Nice numbers what is that translating on a street.
0 to 60 and 1/4 mph.
I understand JCW is not about that but just curious.

Thank you

Actually, I have never tested the 0 to 60 or quarter mile times! It simply never occurred to me to do that! I know it is fast and achieves 100 mph quickly. When the weather breaks and we have the opportunity I will get my copilot to record some times and speeds. My passion is twisties and we have some great ones relatively close to home. The exhaust and the chip have made an amazing increase in horsepower and torque.

Sounds good we have few twisting here on Long Island but Speed Limit 30 ruins it a bit.
Winter is coming so will wait with all the upgrades I have planned.
Today raining day and I spin tired on a 3rd gear going straight so no point.
Looking forward to getting JB4. 25mm sway bar and links and bigger 18inch wheels with fatter tires and unfortunately wheel spacers.

We are given some slack as long as we don't go crazy and we stay on our side of the centerlines. I will try and get some 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times for you. I forgot about the lap timer and counter I can use that for the quarter. 0-60 will require a stopwatch. I will try and get with the GOPRO.
