    Well it was either I get a new Evo or I become a back seat driver in one of your cars. And my wife has taught me to nag and bitch about driving fast like a seasoned PRO (I tend to learn by example). Rather than make any of you suffer like I have, I bought the car.

    No need to thank me. I already realize how generous I am and already feel really good about it.

    My last Evo was a used Evo (it had 1000 miles on it). So, my question is, how do cope with the break in period? Any how many miles is the break in period anyhow?

    1000 miles, which I covered in about 10 days by doing a scenic drive down Hwy 1, a few trips back and forth to the dealership (Hayward)--and taking the long way back (880N, over the Bay Bridge, and back via 280); a trip or two to ModACar... anyway you get the idea.

    The manual lays out the timeline for break-in of each major aspect of the car. The big one--engine--only requires 600 miles.

    Ah, good, because by the time I got to 800-900 miles I was really starting to rev it up. :lol:

    Thanks for reminding me! I am going to do that today, along with reinstalling my old P2 flased ECU, exhaust etc.

    just a quick question. no disrespect intended. How the hell did you cause a $24K in damages? at least your alright though.
    My girlfriend asked me: "It's either me or the car!".............Boy I miss her cooking.

    It adds up quick once the labor is factored in. Not only do the have to put the pieces on, but they have to remove and/or repair those already present.

    Actually it was 39k in damages. They decided to throw in the engine and transmission in there as well since it could theoretically be jacked too. There are a lot of parts listed and lots for labor. If you go to the 24 meet or any earlier meets, I will show you guys my estimate. It is hillarious especially with charges for things like 10$ worth of coolant, etc.
