MT? Now comes the long 1000 mile break in. At least the attention it comes with makes it bearable.

It's a 6spd with Bespoke. I'll probably get the break in done pretty quick lol. Next week I have to drive down to Golden Meadow to deal with some tickets I got a while back, so that'll eat up some miles.

So when are we having a meet? :happy0180:

I see that alot of you guys are from the NOLA area. If somebody wants to get something going over there, I wouldn't mind driving =) How about Oct 20th? It's far enough off to plan for (and a date I'll be home).

Whats going on guys...I just picked up a Black FR-S from Ray Brandt on 9-7-2012. I ended up getting one with the upgraded deck / 3M protector / trunk mat. I cant wait to get back inshore to put some more miles on her. I have around 400 right now.

I think the key on break-in with most modern engines and def. this one is dont do anything when the engine is cold...@ around 25 miles I hit around 6300 rpms...since then I have not really gone over 5500. I only have around 400 miles on her right now. I think break in is really more for clutch / breaks.
