Here it is with 42 miles on it. real nice ride but one thing I just can't get over with is the seats. I don't like the stripe down the middle. Can feel it when sitting on it. Maybe I just need to gain 100lbs to get a big fat *** or something..

She let me drive it today... I can see where the guy said it has turbo lag. From a dig it feels blah then all the sudden BOOM, I'M HAVING FUN! It can be controlled though.

yah, that was a neat afternoon, they put all their datalog boxes on it, and went driving. since they are the factory they can program the ecu anyway they want, so they played with timing, and a bunch or other stuff.



we sorta figured that its more like it needs a looser converter, or a shorter 1st gear or something, not much you can do under 1500rpms...



there might be a TG flash in the works, they took the info to japan

Hate it. Looks like a overweight rx8 with a hump on its back.
