Darren buddy, been breaking in period means don't drive the engine too hard. I do occasionally rev the engine to about 6000rpm, but suggest not too often. I reckon if you follow the manual word-for-word, there'll lots that we'll be missing out on.

I personally don't think the wheels are too bad. Yes, they don't give the 'aggro' stance that should come with the rest of the car, but grip vs road noise point of view, Yoko Advans are not too bad. But I do agree, when a change is due, will upgrade to 19's. Did anyone else have more road noise with Bridgestone Potenzas, or izzit just me(previous RX8 had Bridgestones)??

The door windows was a feature in the 350z too, if I remembered correctly. When I sent my car for window tinting, the dude advised to avoid rolling down the windows for 24-48hrs. I was like, "Have you seen the door windows?"

Have fun with the car, Darren

I had another awesome day yesterday just driving around the place. Have put 500km on it now. Yeah KiddAdelaide, I have only been shifting at 4k ish but think it's workth it for at least the first 1000km or so.

As soon as it's run it, I certainly wont be driving miss daisy around.
