Congrats!!

Hello everybody!!! Its here Its here Its here!

All i can say is WOW. Even though i still cant push it past 4.000rpm what a beast!

I took it for a quick spin on some nice coastal/mountain roads here in Athens (that are usually empty mid day), and at some point i felt like the car was really unstable and bouncy - not so much as to say life threatening, but unstable.... so i was quite devastated

, until i saw at what speed i was travelling at

!! about 80km/h over the speed limit (and about 45km faster than what i drive those roads at when im driving really spirited)! At no point did i feel like it was near its limits, nor did i feel like it was gonna dump me into the ocean.

I cant wait to break it in and let it all loose.

I also got my tinted windows installed today, but as its been sprayed down etc it got really messy so i will give you guys some shots next week!

thanks everybody!!! already past the 1.8k km mark today so im getting excited!!

the windows were tinted the 2nd day i got it. living in Greece has its benefits and downsides.

also, the tints arent legal, for that matter any shade of tint isnt legal in greece unless you have a skin or eye disorder, so i went all black. hehehe

Benandluna · 05-01-2016, 04:16 AM

Haha nice, it looks sharp.

I'm going to tint my car this weekend. In California you can tint the back and rear passenger mirrors pretty dark but only a light shade on driver side, can't wait.

xantdieselx · 05-02-2016, 08:51 AM

Looking good. Congrats!
