It's all in the owner's manual. Don't rag it (no hard braking or rev past 5,500 rpm) for the first 600 miles.

What's your loan interest rate?

congrats on the car.

no hard braking for the first 200 miles.

no revs over 5k for the first 600 miles.

all of this is in the owners manual, which you should read.

AutoWest,I believe its in the Roseville Auto Mall, the car just came off a truck, and it was the last white out there, they have all the other colors, 2 silverstone, black, red. they were going to give me a little better deal if I get the silverstone, but too many people have that color I believe, and I love the GPW.

Beat me to it!!! I enquired about it earlier this week and they said they could do $29, 100 for it. I never got a chance to get out there.

I am jealous. Enjoy it and keep her nice. Maybe if you get tired of it I can buy it off of you

I sold the teg, which I thought I will be keeping it for a long time after doing a full JDM ITR conversion from a GSR. and I meant FULL, every single parts and engine you can think of. However, I have a garage in LA and I was not afraid of theift until I had to move to Davis, (near sacramento), for school. So, I decided to sell it before anyone jack the car, and I can't sleep well with that car on the street.

And traded in my Pilot which makes it more affordable. Also, got a great deal and exactly the color and interior I want. One big support from my parents, willing to pay for my insurance, .

I had been thinking for a long time, if I should get a Evo 9 MR, the new VW R32, or the S2000. I hope and I think I made the right choice even though s2000 has been out for around 7 years now.

Since I am a first time buyer, they gave me a pretty high APR. But because I was able to finance it, or even just get the bank to approve me, I decide to do it to build up my credit.

Those brake rotors look big. Are those wheels 16s or 17s?

The best way to break in a new motor is to drive the **** out of it. I'm serious. Forget what the manual says, if you drive it HARD it'll help seat the rings better.

Thanks for the advise, however, I have been researching about how to break in the motor, some people say drive the **** out of it, and some say follow the maunal, I will go half way between drive super hard and what the maunal says. And also, I believe vary in different RPM is important too. So far, I have only been to 6000 rpm, when I get to 250 miles, I will go further.
