I hope you represented well at Willow. How did you manage tires? By the time I tracked mine, I had already swapped out my Kumhos for a set of Super Sports which proceeded to pick up every bit of hot rubber on the track. Took two days and a tire rotation to burn all that crap off.

I kept my stock kumhos on (they wont be for too much longer, looking for new rims now)... my tires did the same thing. I now need to drive around a bit to brn everything off. Tires stuck great tho... I had a friend in my car said he was very impressed on how well the car held the track in turns.

Finished my break in on the way to MOTD today, just in time to take on the dragon.

Had cruise control and steering wheel radio controls installed by Way while in Fontana. Picked up the shorty antenae, heat sheild and coco mats as well, thanks Way.

Picked up my JCW last Saturday. This last week, I've taken it out and ran the rpm's up starting at 4000, then 4500 and finally at 5000. I did ten pulls each, letting the engine naturally slow to around 2000. I plan on doing this up 6000 later this next week. Also I have been varying speeds and rpm's while driving as much as possible. Mileage right now is sitting at about 280 miles. I'm not going to baby this thing, but also not beat the crap out of her either.
